Bro imagine if you got Marie as your support worker. I would be like woah my support worker is a celeb who I'm obsessed with and watched on RU-vid for years. The dream 😍😍
You are literally proof things can get better. I don't believe things will get better for me, but if you did it anyone can. Wow go Marie I'm so happy for you xxxxx
Marie i honestly think you’ll be such a great support worker for not only people with mental illnesses but also people with disabilities too, you’re such a caring and understanding person❤️
this made me change my whole mindset. i don't have to go to uni to be successful, i can work my way up. no degree doesn't mean no success. thank you so much for this gorgeous, i love you
I’m genuinely so so happy for you. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and you definitely should be too. I never realised how difficult recovery is until I started my journey and today I had therapy and it was so tough but now I truly understand the meaning of healing. You’re healing, Marie and you’re getting your life back. You’re achieving so much and I can’t describe the happiness I get from seeing you smile. I wish you all the best and please keep us updated, you’re doing amazingly!💗
I’m 19 and I’ve only got my GCSEs, need to do a levels at some point, I can drive, but I need to do my test and get a car, and I’m currently unemployed.. Watching your videos makes me feel very much not alone to not have everything “when you’re supposed to”, or the way I think I should be by now. It’s really hard to believe that it’s okay not to have or be doing everything yet! Makes me feel like such a failure, but watching you grow has made it a whole lot easier for me so thank you 💜
i’ve been a support worker for those with mental illnesses for almost 5 months now after having my struggles and not having a degree or a levels and it’s been the best thing ever for me having the time to recover and work on myself!!!!
If you ever do decide you want to go to uni then do an access to higher education course. It’s a year long course that grants you access to any university, so basically equivalent of a levels. I failed my a levels, took a year off and worked and then went back o college to do the access course
Marie I so needed this right now. I’m 21 and have had poor mental health for years. I’m desperate to see a way through and seeing where you were and where you are has truly affected me. Thank you.
OUHHHH DANNNG GO GIRL 💖💖💖 I've always wanted to see you in a support worker or some sort of mental health intervention job heheh so I'm so very proud of you for choosing something you (hopefully will) love to get up for. You're a gem, of course they picked you. So so happy for you. And as always, so inspired by your self reflection xxx
That wedding was amazing Marie you looked so beautiful, that dress was wow . You have done so much since then girl so glad to have. Been able to get to know you and how beautiful of a person you are . You have been smiling so bright lately. Glowing girl❤❤❤
Did you turn it down because of driving? Because if so that's something I've struggled with too, I've resigned from my current job bc my boss is so horrible and triggering but I've been offered so many jobs that I really want but bc I don't drive yet I've had to turn them all down 😭 I'll drive soon enough though! Really enjoyed this video Marie xxxx
Congratulations on your new job good for you I have been thinking for a long time about getting a job but was very worried about after all the work it would take to get that I would just not be able to handle it because of my social anxiety but have been in the middle of trying to get my job good for you though you sound happy
I’ve followed you since 2015, (before you went to the psych ward) I haven’t watched your videos in the past couple of years bc I struggled to watch you in pain but watching this and seeing you in a much better place is so soothing! So exciting you’ve found a career path you want to do ☺️
My mum is a support worker with disabilities, all kinds, and I work with people with psychosocial disability in my job. It's a lot harder than people think, like can't tell you how many of MY support workers I get for my chronic pain tell me I'm so different from the other people they meet with my physical and mental illnesses & from my own perspective I agree (not being up myself just recognising I take responsibility for my life and put in effort). Just reminds me recovery is a constant choice we make that can't be taken for granted x
so very proud of you 👏 i am a nurse with bpd and i believe we have so much more compassion. It shows we can have a life once we are ready ! also i have been honest with everyone around me therefore all my colleagues and boss know and now understand bpd. so proud and good luck ❤️
I'm so glad to hear you're doing well Marie! I'm being discharged from hospital tomorrow after being admitted on the 23rd December, I found your channel the last time I was inpatient which was Summer 2019, I've made so much progress since then and I'm so proud of myself, especially because in this admission I really jumped headfirst into all the therapeutic activities and I've made some friends that I'll stay in touch with rather than my 10 day admission last time I was too unwell to be myself and join in activities and socialise etc. Just acknowledging your progress and my progress which have both been huge the past few years, I've been in private therapy for 2 years now and it's helped me understand myself so so much. Sending love and light to you Marie and anyone else who reads this! xo
you make us feel so much less alone with living with mental health conditions. thank you. we have watched you for years and you continue to inspire us! xoxo
im so happy you are doing well and you getting the job with supporting people with disabilities. I have a disability FASD and it is nice that your working at that job! So proud of you
Very nice too see you happy, have a great time at that job, but get out if you encounter toxic bosses or ppl who make the wrong comments, a job should be fun and nothing else.
This gives me a lot of hope :) I'm currently not in the best of mental health, but seeing you so happy and healthy is motivating for me to keep working on it. I'm super curious why you turned down the care job with working with people with autism 👀 is it just that you would rather work with more mental health patients? Proud of you 🌈
In my case, even after I'd become stable, my doctors didn't touch my meds. Quite the opposite; we sighed with relief to have found the right cocktail (: I think that for most people, including Marie, once you get it right, the person generally stays on them long term. The exception is for meds you're prescribed when in a state of crisis; like maybe Valium if you're having a rough month with lots of panick attacks. But then you likely would stop if your anxiety improves or switch to a better suited medication regimen (:
