Saying "try exercising more" to someone who is depressed or suicidal is like telling some who has difficulty hearing to listen harder. You are amazing - thank you for sharing.
💙❤💚 I'm so glad you said that. I think I have antenatal depression and that's exactly the kinda things people keep saying to me, without any idea about how difficult that is for me night now ❤ xox
Eloise has a vulnerable mom. And a beautiful mom. And an inspirational mom. I felt this video in my heart. Sending love and prayers and thoughts. Thanks for sharing, Xo
I cried with you. I work as psychologist in Spain and this was the best explanation of depression disorder I had ever heard. You are very strong for sharing this with us. I admire you. Eloise has the best mum she could have. Lots of love
I know this is kind of an old video at this point but it will always be relevant. Thank you so much for sharing. These videos are important. You are important. Your story is important. Sharing it is important. Thank you. 💖 So glad you got the help you needed love 💖
I agree so much. I spent 5 days in a psychiatric hospital after alcohol poisoning after a fight with a friend and I feel like it's so important to be open about it, especially after getting a degree in Psychology. I think people are starting to become more accepting and understanding about mental illness and how it can affect you even if you don't have a diagnosed "disorder." We still have a long way to go and I think sharing these kinds of stories really help promote better understanding of mental health.
Good job, Getting help, my mom did the same thing, she stayed in the hospital, and got better, I was young at the time and she told me she was going to get better for us, bravest thing she ever did!
I'm watching this after binge-watching your mom videos. I've gone through anxiety and depression and this was pretty hard to watch. Mostly because you're obviously so strong and wonderful and kind and loving. I hope you're feeling so much better and not just putting a brave face. You deserve all the happiness and love in your life. ♥️♥️
Its not the end of the world. Having gone thru a 51-50. I spent about a day and quarter after i was taken their by police. They really are focused on patients and give a fuck. Atleast the one i went to. ( I am not rich )
Get a power of attorney your child is safer with you trust me I've been there get them out now while you still have the chance that kid is no more than a check to them and big pharmacy companies as well as therapist and psychologist its the rich control in the poor and will be that way until Im president at age 45yrs old im 30yrs old now btw this happened around age 23 to 25 its corrupt as fuck save him right now don't wait.
My mom struggled with ppd and she had no help. God alone helped her survive and keep me safe. Thank you so much for sharing your story, your wins and struggles as a mom. Being real is helping so many people. Even me, now that I am pregnant I am learning a lot from your videos. Random, but we decided to name our baby Jess like 10 years ago and now that I’m going to have this baby I found you! Your strength and unique way of mothering inspires 💖
Thank you for sharing this, you are very brave! 💕Sometimes starting an antidepressant changes your brain chemistry and things can easily spiral out of control. My sister had the same thing happen after starting an antidepressant and it was very scary for her and everyone who loves her. Glad that you got the help you needed. Community is so important!
You have been on my heart for the past few months and now I know why. Thank you for always being vulnerable and sharing your story. I completely understand what you have gone through and while I’m okay now, I get it. I too suffer from anxiety and depression and I always wish that people could see my pain on the outside. I’m truly excited to hear all that you’re willing to share with us as you truly bring hope even though you may not feel it at the moment. Through your brokenness, God is using you to help others become whole. Love you Jess
Don't be ashamed of ur depression. Ur not alone! Ur so brave and strong for seeking help and trying. Dont give up ❤ love u and ur baby blogs. Currently 27 weeks pregnant and I too suffer from depression. Thank u for all ur kind words an advice.
Thank you so much for posting this, from all the moms suffering mental health issues during COVID. I’m 33 weeks pregnant and have never been as depressed as I have these last few months. Going into parenthood like this is terrifying. I don’t have friends or family nearby, so your channel has been a grounding point for me. Thank you for showing the dark part of your life so that people like me can have hope that it will get better and that our babies will be ok despite our brokenness.
Hi Hannah. Im 40 weeks pregnant at the moment and can feel with you. i wish you all the best and hope you feel better today than when you wrote this comment. Everything is going to be good. ❤
You are literally the first mom channel that adressed this problem and the type of feeling a mom sometimes feels, that her child would be better off without her being depressed... I have had struggles with these kinds of feelings, since I was a teen, and especially now as a mom it's kind of a taboo to feel this way - that's why it's important to talk about it, I am so relieved and glad I have found your channel! All things aside, I wanted to tell you you are truly a great mom, I can see how much love you have for your children, I can see how important they are to you and that is all that matters - they are loved!
Sometimes as Christians it’s really hard to see depression as a real illness, so thats why it was so hard for me to deal with mine and overcome it. I praise God for doctors, medicine and therapy! There is no shame in asking for help- keep doing it ! Meanwhile I pray that God leads you the place you need to be to deal and solve the root of what you are feeling. Even through this , He loves you, and He is with you always.
I have been there and it’s so scary.. Being vulnerable can be terrifying and your courage in sharing this chapter in your life was beautiful to watch. Thank you so much for this and sending you all love xxx
Sometimes having to go through this makes you stronger. I’m 15 and just got out of the hospital, it was very hard but it really makes you realize things that you didn’t even know about yourself. You are so strong💕
I just want you to know im so grateful that you're so open and I'm soo happy you've gotten the help you needed. I had a similar experience when I went through one of my lowest lows to the point where over half my hair fell out. There was days I wouldn't even get out of bed and I completely stopped doing my makeup which was something I used to love. I cut so many people out of my life and they still have no clue what happened to ne and neither do I. I still feel like Im not completely better, as though Im just going through the motions between work and school but every day I try a little harder and count my blessings but I completely agree when you say it doesnt show on the outside because its just indescribable how it is to feel that low on the inside.
Wow. You are an incredible woman. I'm about 11 weeks pregnant (first one) and I am so grateful to have come across your channel. You are a HUGE inspiration to me. I've struggled with depression my whole life. And just being able to see another woman struggling with the same but being able to continue on being a wonderful mother gives me tremendous hope. Thank you so much.
Thank you for posting this , I was watching your labor and delivery vlogs thinking that you were so radiant and comparing myself to you thinking “ why can’t I be as positive as she is etc... “ but turns out that you’re human too, I appreciate your rawness and courage to say that life is work , and you have to keep trucking ! Thank you so much :)
I have been in the mental hospital inpatient 4 times in the last 3 years and it’s difficult to handle, but I’m doing so much better now and I feel like myself again. I’m so glad you got the help you needed and are doing better hopefully. ❤️❤️
oh mama I felt every tear, voice break it just really hit home. I have had similar struggles and suicidal thoughts, I was scared to admit I needed help at the time and wished I had seen your video at the time, sending you lots of love. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring video
This was a much needed video for me right now. I watched all your baby videos and saw how down to earth you are and literally thought how much I wish I was wired more laid back like you and then came across this video and it made me feel so much better. I too struggle with bad depression and a terrible panic disorder and it’s so nice seeing someone else who has been through this struggle and seeing you be so strong and overcome it. You’ve honestly given me so much faith that I too will be able to overcome it. I can’t even put into words how much I appreciate you making this video, it really made me feel less alone. Thank you so much for this and being so open about everything. 💜
I recognize the vibe, the speed and the fear with which you spoke all too well. I also had suicidal thoughts after going off an antidepressant. it was crazy, because I felt like I wasn't being myself, and those thoughts felt so alien, yet they were coming from myself. and I was so scared of letting down my family and plagued by feelings of guilt all the time. today I am less scared. it's a part of being alive. thanks for the braveness of bringing this topic up. awareness is everything.
You are the most inspirational women I have ever met. A million times thank you. You encourage me a lot. Thank you for sharing the truth about depression, about life. You are so so so BRAVE. I wish you the best, because you deserve it. Thank you again flr being just as you really are. You are a lovely and beautiful person💗💗
I've never spoke to or heard of anyone who's been through the 'take meds, get worse, could've died, new meds, gets better' situation. It's very umm, therapeutic? or comforting? to hear someone else has been through it. I felt so guilty for trying medication only for it to get worse but now a year on I am so so healthy and happy. I'm glad for modern medicine :)
I am so sorry that you’ve gone through this but am so thankful that you shared. It’s so important for creating an open dialogue about mental health. You are helping to open up the door for so many people to take that first step in getting help. You are so brave and strong Jess! Sending so much love and praying for you and your family ❤️
Jess, watching all of your videos makes me want to meet you and be friends in real life. Going through major life struggles myself I feel for you and you video almost made me cry on the train. I'm just a Connecticut girl living in Switzerland, marrying a swiss this year. All of your energetic videos give me so much life. I don't know if there are any comforting words I can say right now, I feel like everything has probably already been said to you. Sending lots of light and love to you and your cute little family
This comment is too late but I feel this video so much and I cannot stop crying. I'm deeply depressed the past few months but was diagnosed with bipolar 2 and depression and anxiety for 3 years now. I've been having suicidal thoughts. This video is somehow giving me hope.
I just found your channel today. I'm due in September with baby number 2 and my son is about the same age as your girl. I can't tell you how much this video just helped me. I feel such relief and I rarely get that "I'm not alone" from these types of videos, but there's something that draws my heart to you. I feel such crushing guilt for the way I feel and how it effects my role in motherhood and I am terrified of this life transition. Somehow, for 12 minutes, I felt a sense of calm and connectedness and I haven't felt that way in a very long time. Thank you.
I swear your videos just pop up in my recommended when I need them most. I just had a baby 8 weeks ago, two of those weeks he spent in the NICU. I’ve really been struggling to be happy at this time. He’s a very demanding baby and it feels like I can’t just breathe. I know it isn’t exactly what you went through but I’ve been feeling pretty down and this video was what I needed. To relate and to coexist with other humans and moms in this world. Thank you for being so honest all the time.
When I was a the lowest with my depression I had a doctor say to me, you're unwell but we're going to make you better. Something about those words hit my so hard and helped so much. It was that confirmation that I was sick (just like a physical thing you can see) and that there's steps to get better (just like treating a disease).
I went through it with my first miscarriage. It was hard. I would ask myself if people would actually care about me after I was gone. People thought I was joking around but it was more serious than that. I was screaming for help and people would tell me what I didn’t want to hear. If this is you, find help. You are loved 🥰 and if you are reading this, I love you
Bless you. I totally get it. I've suffered with anxiety and depression for some time now. My doctor has just put me on a new antidepressant. The only way to describe how I'm feeling some days in one word is 'dispair' and the times people have said to me to exercise, drives me mad. They have no idea how bad your feeling on the inside, if only it was that easy to make yourself better...
Jess, thanks so much for talking about this! It was such a blessing to hear how you struggled, how you got help, how your husband helped you, and that you’re doing well! There’s so much stigma around mental health (especially in the church) because people don’t see it as a legit illness. But it is, and you are doing so good. I watched this with tears in my eyes thinking of how meaningful it was to so many of us Christians who too have spent time in a mental hospital (🙋🏼♀️) Thank you.
You’re such an angel, I don’t even know you but you’re literally the strongest person I’ve come across too! God bless you sister. May God give you grace and peace and love and mercy all the days throughout your life❤️
I know this video was made a while back but I am so grateful I found this video. I am about to be a first time mom and about 4 years ago I attempted suicide and was dealing with some extreme depression. I have since received tons of counseling and help! I am a bit nervous about PPD but this video really gave me strength in knowing that if I do start struggling not to be ashamed of talking about it. Thank you for being vocal about your journey.
Love you Jess!! You’re such a wonderful human and there is so much strength in your words & heart. I’m so happy that you made it through darkness. Depression is real and no one understands that until they are directly affected. Ugh... love you so much! ❤️
Thank you for making this video. I am a huge advocate for mental illness and for mental health treatment. I just watched a video of someone doing nothing but bitching about her 4 days in the mental hospital without ever saying why and she was extraordinarily immature, self centered, and ungrateful.Really rubbed me the wrong way so your honesty is refreshing. I understand what you're going through. I have bipolar 1 with psychotic features- which only appear if I'm not on the right meds and severely sleep deprived. I've been through some really scary experiences. You hang in there and if you ever feel like you need inpatient treatment, advocate for yourself to get it. Best wishes to you.
I love you and your videos and I'm struggling with the same things! Your videos help people so much! I'm struggled with anorexia and dropped 60 lbs in a year to severely underweight and it's taken about four months to get stabilized. I'm finally doing better. It's hard to realize the only thing that is certain in life is change and this too will pass when it feels like things will ALWAYS be this bad. It's definitely a chemical Imbalance and I'm glad you got the help you needed!
I absolutely found your channel recently for a reason. Funny thing is, I found your more recent videos of your kiddos, I’m not a mother so why I have been drawn to you is odd, but now I know. To see that you made it past this place and you’re thriving, I have hope. Things will get better. ❤️ thank you for sharing, you are helping sooooo many people. Hope this makes sense.
Although this would have been so hard for you, you have no idea the amount of people you will have helped, made them feel its okay to not be okay, and that they are normal so well done you for taking such a tough part of your life and sharing it to help others. That in its self you should be so proud. Amazing lady who deserves the world. 💓
Lost my mom to this and now see it was spiritual more than anything. Powerful video and so glad you’re doing well today. Prayer for anyone reading and battling this spiritual attack. A Prayer For Escaping the Pit of Depression "Lord, it seems as if my world has collapsed, hurling me into a deep, dark pit. I come to you in complete surrender. I am desperate for you, helpless and afraid. Please lift me out of this pit and show me the way, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen" Read psalm 23:3. ask God to reveal what your next step should be. To free u from the spirit of depression and close the doors to whatever let it in. 💟💟
You're so brave for making this honey. I relate to you. I cried on the part about your daughter finding out you are actually sad. I have 2 beautiful children, so that hit my heart. I hope you're doing okay. I found this video because I feel so alone.
Jess! I usually don’t comment on videos but I couldn’t help myself. Thank you for explaining depression to us, I haven’t experienced anything similar but since I moved to Australia I’ve seen it’s something very common, which was hard for me to understand as I come from a third world country (it’s not so common or at least people don’t talk about it much). However, I met my partner here and he suffers from it. It’s always been a bit hard for me to fully understand (though I try my best) and It breaks my heart to think this is the actual way he feels sometimes! I feel so much for you and for everyone that suffers from anxiety and depression (it can happen to anyone). I’m glad you have so much support around you and I wish everyone did! Lots of loveeeee! You’re amazing and so beautiful! And your voice is really calming ❤️❤️😘
U have never been truly in a mental hospital but ur story is enspiring about getting better thank u for sharing wish I had the courage to tell my story but u have truly never been in a mental hospital not getting to go home or see ur family expect only like 2 hours out of the day and have ur freedom taken away from u
I am so sorry. I am thankful for you sharing, for being vulnerable, for being brave enough to share, and for speaking truth to your darkness. You are not alone in this minute by minute battle.
It’s so brave of you to talk about this openly. It can be overwhelmingly difficult to process these things and talk about them even in private and intimate settings, much less on a platform like RU-vid. God has empowered you with a courage that He intends for you to use while continuing to share your story, so that others will find the hope that you’ve found. What you said about social media is something I find to be so true in even the Christian world, sadly. People putting on false identities to hide the struggles, without realizing that everyone else is just doing the same thing. Our vulnerability is such a powerful tool that God uses for healing. I pray that this video inspires many others to be vulnerable, and that God would empower them with courage to share their testimonies, to the glory of His name. Bless you and your family 💖
It's the first time I see your videos, I will have my first baby and backside of the pandemic circunstances my mom can not came to help me because I live on the other side of the world. You has helped me a lot ! Your videos are amazing and easy to understand, you give me the confidence to say my self " I can do it" And after to see this video I really admire you because not everyone is so strong to said ' I suffer of depression' , it's a silence sickness and I know it because I suffer of that on my ten ages time, it's a lot of suffer and confusion, and is amazing you has said you need help and more what you are doing to help the sociaty. I send you a big hug !! ❤️ Keep doing your amazing videos and continue being your self because you are a angel!!
Omg I so feel for you...I just found your video where you had your 2nd little baby boy and scrolled down to this...I understand that how you feel that it's on the inside broken and nobody else can see it...💗Honey if I could hug you I so would
I hope you understand how truly strong you are 🖤 you asked for help ! My dad took his life 3 years ago & I wish he had told us how much he was struggling. You did though & your family is incredibly lucky. The process of losing someone to suicide it terrible. Regardless, you blame yourself, even though it is rarely anyone’s fault. You’re a beautiful soul & I wish for peace of mind for you 🖤 Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, there is no reason you shouldn’t, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has dealt with mental illness in one form or another. People are just afraid to discuss it & that needs to stop. Discussing it is the only way to keep our loved ones from feeling like they have no other choice.
You impress me. You get what I am about. When you made the statement that you are broken, you have realized what I realized a long time ago; I can’t help but be broken because I’m not a God I am your average disabled person. I think you have reached the point we all do when we realized: WE ARE ALL BROKEN.
You are so fucking strong. Keep going you’re gonna achieve health, happiness and all your goals. It’s so important your message. Hope professionals can help you asap. You have so much light in your heart and the world needs people like you. Biggest hugs from Barcelona ❤️❤️❤️
You are a strong, brave woman. This takes so much strength to share this honest story. I’m so glad you asked for help and stood up for yourself on healing. Thank you! Hugs!
I came across your video and they are so wholesome and genuine. I have watched all of them - Your mom videos are my favorite because they are honest! Thank you for being brave and sharing it with us.
I just came across your channel. THANK YOU for sharing your truth. Thank you for your strength, your courage. I, too, suffer from extreme anxiety and depression and have for most of my life. I live with Sjogrens Syndrome and Fibromyalgia which tends to make the anxiety and depression worse. I lost my daddy to cancer a year ago on March 3rd. I was on here looking for something totally off the wall and I truly believe the universe brought me to your channel 🙏. I NEEDED to hear that we all struggle and that it's okay to seek help. I've been feeling alone and my dad's death hit me harder than anything I've ever experienced in my life. Every day is a struggle. I felt the need to thank you for being so open and honest. Please know this video helped someone, love from a stranger! ❤️
This is such an encouraging video, I have been struggling with PTSD over the last 6 months, and the difficulty with being ok with myself in this state can be so hard, and being ok with not being ok is sometimes a struggle. It is a breath of fresh air seeing I am not the only one struggling with mental health, and that it doesn't mean this will be how it is forever. I'm glad I stumbled upon this video!
So I first watched your videos because I was trying to figure out my registry for my baby and I was lost and confused and I was like “hey this is a cool mom that I could like, really be buddies with.” So I started watching your other videos and then I saw this one. I think the first time I tried to kill myself I was like eight years old, so it’s something that I’ve dealt with for a really, really long time. I’ve been depressed for way more of my life then I’ve been healthy, but especially being pregnant I just felt like this depression has gotten so much worse (which is not because of my baby, I am so excited to be a mom, but my husband deployed and I had to stop taking five of the antidepressants that I was taking and it’s kind of been a mess). Seeing this video makes me feel so much better about things and so encouraged. I’m really glad you got the help you needed. I had to do a really similar program for five weeks that ended right before I got pregnant and it was helpful. But seeing someone that I’ve come to really admire and respect the opinion of actually understand what I’m going through is kind of magical.
I found your channel looking for natural pregnancy tips..I clicked subscribe when I saw videos like this because I thought wow, she's sharing real life stuff that nobody wants to talk about..Thank you for being vulnerable with us, you're an inspiration even when you've been in a dark place. And especially because you're so real. Keep on truckin sister❤
You are beyond brave. Sad to say I really understand and relate. I didn't deal with depression much until the preterm birth and death of two of my children. It was a hard time and I no longer wanted to be here. I hadn't planned anything but the overwhelming feeling of not wanting to face another day was looming and very present and real. I really don't think anyone understands or understood what I was dealing with and still dealing with now that I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I sought out help and I'm glad you did too. You are loved and your family needs you. Thanks for being honest and shedding a real light on a taboo topic. It's ok to not be happy and more people need to admit that. There's no telling how many lives you've saved since posting this video
Jess, I just came across this video. I love your videos, they give me such joy. I just want to tell you, thank you, for making a video like this and being SO vulnerable and sharing your story. I lost my sister to suicide recently and to see you let folks know you struggled. We are not alone.
Eres una gran persona y eres tan original, vales muchísimo y tienes mucho porque ser feliz. Tomaté tu tiempo en este proceso de recuperación y no intentes correr cada quien lleva su paso. Yo pase por lo mismo y me ha tomado un tiempo recuperarme pero saber que se puede ser feliz motiva a srguir adelante cada día. Abrazos desde México Jess.
Beautiful inside and out! Prayers coming your way from Cape Cod! You are an inspiration and very strong and real. Your perspective helps me as I shake off some post partum depression and struggle with weight gain while breastfeeding, while learning to be a mom. We are all vulnerable at some points in our lives. Thank God for family and friends for their support, the professionals that make a real difference in our quality of life, and honesty of people like you who keep it real when it could easily be so fake.
This brakes my heart because I understand how you feel and I was in your position! What kept me going was I knew people who were supportive and safe and keep telling my self that this will eventually go away! And I knew that I was strong enough to speak up and that I was ok! I'm so happy you spoke up because many people don't!! And I'm so happy you are speaking about it because you could save so many people's lives and that is such a good thing!! You truly inspire me to speak out because I know how hard it is about speaking out!! It's extremely hard for me now to speak about! But you are so strong!! I do want to say men or the spouse that supports someone who has a mental issue and helps them are strong people to because my fiancé goes through a lot but he supports me so much and I can tell your husband is a strong spouse to and I'm so glad you have him!
Wow you are absolutely incredible. I can't say I know exactly how you've felt or what you went through, but I've had really bad depression and still get my moments of it every now and then when my anxiety gets really bad. But you give me so much strength :) It's amazing how you did this, and how open you are being because it's so needed in this world. You are an incredibly strong woman! Thinking of you and praying for you always :) x
Sending hugs to you and prayers I'm going through a really rough time right now my grandfather and dog passed away and I've been in a deep dark hole, enough that I tried to get myself admitted but I didn't meet their criteria. You are not alone.
I know this is an older video of yours - but I ran across it and I can’t tell you how much made me feel not alone. I have struggled so much since having my daughter. I have been so bummed and lack of motivation. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I can completely relate to all you said. It feels uncontrollable even when you’re doing all you can to get better. Thank you for making me feel a virtual hug from you!
This is EXACTLY how I feel with fibro and all my spinal conditions. It’s an ALL OVER pain no one can see and I often get viewed as lazy or that it’s all just in my head. I feel so alone and depressed because I’m almost always in pain and being in that state and trying to be social gives me horrible anxiety.
Thank you so much for sharing 🥰 I’m crying 😢 I struggle I’m a mom and a Christian too It’s so hard to be a mom and have this issue. Thank you for sharing your life ♥️
Oh my goodness! Between tears and smiles I am so so proud of you for sharing this! I can’t tell you how many times i said “yes” to the feelings you were describing or the attitude or thoughts you had and have. I messaged you while you were here (I am in the Detroit area) about the church you attended here. I am also very curious as to the facility you visited. Not sure if you are interested in sharing it or could message me. I too have been going through the broken feeling and what really hit me is when you said about almost wished you were “really” sick, bleeding or cancer ect. . I feel that often. My mother too struggled with depression and was the only one I truly knew to speak to who understood it. She passed away a few years ago (which is what brought me to Detroit from Los Angeles.) I have looked for therapists here and haven’t truly clicked with anyone. I can’t tell you how inspirational your video is and how thankful I am to you for sharing. You are so very strong. Thank you Jess!
I just wanna to thank you for telling us your story. I still think you are a very strong woman and a good role model. I admire you so much for being so natural and beautiful person. keep fighting for happiness, we are fighting with you. I love you so much.
Thank you for your strength in sharing your story. It’s so helpful to know that you are not the only one and you are not crazy. Wish everyone would watch. 💕
Thank you for your honesty. I am so glad you opened up and asked for help. I have had depression for years, but not a mother yet. I am hopeful that now I have the tools to grow stronger through it.
I actually went looking for you on social media wondering what you were up to. You’ve been in my thoughts and i don’t even know you. 😊 God is good and I’m so happy you’re getting the help you need. Continue to be strong - by Gods gracious love there’s purpose for your pain even as dark, broken & lonely as you might feel - He cares for us. I’ll be praying for you and your family ♥️
I still am told I will grow out of it one day.... I’m so glad you have people out there who understand what you were going through, thank you for sharing, it helps not being alone when I felt like I was going crazy
Sending all the love and healing in the world to you ❤️May the Holy Spirit fill you with abundant peace, love, hope and joy and all heaviness and oppression leave your body & mind in Jesus name.🙌🏻👊🏼💕💕💕
@@chloew3bbit’s crazy how today I went through something that knocked me down!! You have given me hope and I want you to know that. I believe this is a sign that what i’m going through is a test and I will come out victorious
@@sammyzkickz6601 wow, that is wild! I’m sorry to hear that you went though something difficult today :/ but your mindset is 100% the best way to look at it!! I believe in you!! :) I hope you have better days to come 💖
I hope your doing okay love stay strong 💪🏻 depression is a cancer no one can see, but love your only option is to be strong be strong I know it’s a battle of one against many many demons we face but they will never win! I promise you!
I love your story. I recently had going on the verge of depression. And believe me, I was going to find something that would turn my life around, but anything doesn't felt the helm in my mental health empowered.
I've been following both you and Shaun for, I don't even know how long now, but I want to say thank you for how you guys are such aweome role models for young Christians. The way you two love each other and love Eloise brings me joy and as another YWAMer it makes me so proud to see this love and example of relationship thriving despite hard times shown to the world and to know that you two are part of the (massive) family. But really thank you for this video. It takes massive bravery to share this and I'm glad you did
I've binged watched all of your mama videos in the past few days (literally all of them!) And then I came across this one this morning.... I just want to say how incredibly strong you are, and brave, for sharing this. And it brought tears to my eyes because I'm now seeing a different side of you after all the other videos! I commend your openness. Depression is so common, and not enough people talk about it. Sending love to you from Ohio! You've kept me going these first few weeks of my very first pregnancy. Thanks for everything, Jessica!
I'm so glad you sought out help and trusted your family with what was going on with your thoughts. I've been there before and I know how difficult it is to admit you don't have it all together when you have people who love and count on you. But when your mind is going haywire, you have to let some things go so you can focus on yourself. The things you said about other people not understanding what was going on or how serious it was really resonated with me; I remember people (specifically in a church) telling me that instead of going to the appointment I finally found the courage to set, I needed to pray more, or read the Bible more, etc. I remember vividly thinking "but I want to die, and I have cried out for help but I'm not hearing anything!" I don't think it was meant to be judgmental, but it took a long time after that for me to return to a church. Sorry for the rambling, but it's all just to say I understand a little of what you are going through and want you to know how great and brave it is of you to address your mental health for your own well-being and the well-being of your family. Eloise and Shaun(sp?) are very lucky.
