I struggle a lot during summer. Depression isn’t cured because it’s nice outside! I also feel the pressure to do many things in summer and then I feel bad.
You speak so much sense and you’re presence online has done and will continue to inspire and help people in so many ways you will likely never know. You’re a very much appreciated presence online and very refreshing and grounding. Thanks for being so natural and confident in discussing everything and anything, we all love you !!!
One of the main reasons I subscribed and continued watching your videos is because I feel like you're super down to earth, you're not trying to play a role and you seem unashamedly yourself - which is something that is so hard to find from online creators. The way you talk to the camera and explain how you're feeling is really easy to relate to, so please continue doing what you're doing!
You have such a huge impact on me, Helena! Your videos make me feel less alone, more confident and just generally distract my brain from negative self talk. Even if it’s “just” you talking or a random vlog - not everything needs to have this deeper meaning or purpose to have an impact on people ❤️
Girl you are such a light here on the tuubs ☀(I really aspire to radiate the same authentic and lovely energy you have in my own videos!🌻) I just love your vibe hels and always look forward to your posts💛 I wish you all the best girl🤗
Thank you so much for this Helena, I didn’t know how much I needed to hear someone else talk about this. My brain has been all over the place too, and it’s like I know that biologically I feel “better” because of the vitamin d and the brighter light etc, but also I’ve been feeling worse mentally. I’ve been feeling low for no clear reason a lot more, but also I know that I’m feeling more anxious/anticipating feeling low because of the temperature increase and having to wear fewer clothes/layers. Also last summer a Not At All Fun situation happened and while it’s pretty much resolved now, it’s still affecting me a lot and I’m so scared that it will happen again that I’m just obsessively thinking about it trying to make it not happen again (not that that will work). Anyway, thank you for your honesty and just for being you! Sending lots of love 🤍
These videos are such a safe place, feel like hugs. Heartwarming and reassuring. Your energy is always bringing a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Ily bestie Also!! Can we talk ab these culinary skills??? These rolls are unreal!!!
Thank you for sharing! I resonate so much with having a down time after a lot of interactions with friends. On top of that I feel a sense of guilt for getting anxious after spending time with them and even some times questioning myself if I was having a great time or just faking it. I truly have kind and safe friends but I still have increased anxiety/sadness sometimes. Thanks for starting a conversation about it here ❤
I can relate but in the reverse. I always referred to it as a "Reverse Seasonal Depression" for me. I live in Australia which is hot and sunny most of the time. The heat and brightness is actually terrible for my depression and I find myself so much happier and active in the winter months. Whereas most people here thrive in summer. It's weird.
I'm from Australia but I live in the UK now. I understand this comment so much, i used to hate summer. We always kept curtains shut during the day to keep the heat out which was the perfect environment for hiding in my dark bedroom letting my mind fester. Sending you love and hope you are finding the light as winter approaches 🤍
Come unto me, all ye that Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
I find I always feel guilty if I haven’t ‘made the most of the day’ when I’m feeling low and it’s bright and sunny outside. I know logically that it’s okay and I try to tell myself this but inside it *feels* the complete opposite. It’s reassuring to hear someone tell me “It’s okay”, thank you 🫶🏻
