I'm in my 3rd year of studies in psychology and I can feel every emotional and mental state you're going through.. Break the walls of this social construction called ''stigma''.. I admire you for pointing out truly and honestly, without any hesitation that mental health matters.. I'm sending you light and strength to be your guides through this journey <3
DBT and mental health treatment saved and changed my life. bpd/bp t2 here, im so happy for you. you are so very brave, thank you for sharing your story w all of us, im rooting for you and your big bright future <333
I really hope sharing your experience is as healing for you as it is for the people watching this who deal with similar mental disorders. I have ASD, I was undiagnosed until this year, I’m 26. I always masked my autism, which lead me to depression, anxiety, major meltdowns I didn’t & still don’t know how to control, I’m learning as much as I can about my neuro-developmental disorder now & it is getting better, I am healing. Although you struggle with something different I completely empathise with your journey 🐛🦋 You’re beautiful 💞
This was amazing, and couldn’t have come at a better time. I couldn’t relate more; with sexuality, with bipolar and turning 30 having such an impact. I don’t usually comment on things but if you see this- thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder I in 2016 when I was 21 after a manic episode with psychosis landed me in the hospital. I was lucky enough to be able to do outpatient therapy after and DBT saved my life and my relationship with myself and others. It means so much to listen to other people’s experiences and remember that we are not alone.
Good golly I love your singing voice, and not just because I watched this after trying to sing some Enya youtube karaoke. But what I love even more is your vulnerability and willingness to help other folks by sharing your story <3
I'm a lesbian and I love the word lesbian but I've heard many lesbians express that too… you're not alone. The etemology is beautiful: Latin from Greek Lesbios, from Lesbos, home of Sappho, who expressed affection for women in her poetry, + -ian.
"Your trauma is real" really resonated with me. I have always felt like some people have it worse and at least I had a happy childhood. But there is no need to downplay all the terrible things that have happened to me or loved ones. That's just lying to myself and others. I have only started to realize that in the last couple of years but hearing someone say it out loud really sparked something in me. Thank you for being so honest, open and starting another happy nook on the internet. Looking forward to seeing all the videos you are planning on making! 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Ella. You're amazing and these videos are so inspiring. I feel like we're doing ok making progress on destigmatizing mental health, but a lot of the time we don't hear a ton about things like Bipolar. So THANK YOU for sharing your struggles and also giving us all a peek into what Bipolar is. I hope you're having a great day today ❤❤❤❤
I needed this. My sister struggles with it and sometimes it’s hard for me to be supportive and empathic during the mania episodes. Props to you for sharing. I’m sure this will help many others!
I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 23, adding to my diagnoses of Anxiety and OCD. I feel the same way as you- I try so hard but I’m still getting the shit end of the stick in life. This vid gives me so much hope
thank you so much for everything you do, both just for taking care of yourself, but also for sharing your thoughts, experiences etc with us. My doctor and i believe i fall in a weird place on the bipolar spectrum because my highs are so long and spread out and my lows are soooo low and long, i can go over a year of one or the other being my main feeling. I thought it was normal for a while, then i thought i was the damaged one, too broken, when i barely left my bed, when i barely ate or otherwise took care of myself, not showering, not brushing my teeth or my hair, or when i went on benders of not sleeping for more than a couple hours a night, glued to my computer writing, or reading, or doing my makeup unable to sit still at times. i'm still struggling through it just like everyone else but getting professional help, going to therapy, making steps in the right direction is all i can ask for of myself. so again. thank you for sharing your story.
You’re so selfish
