I think I speak for everyone in saying that, if you ever just need a break from everything (even though RU-vid wasn't necessarily the whole problem, rest never does any harm) you don't need to say anything or post anything, just don't post. You're such an inspirational person not only getting through all of this, but also sharing it. We live in a society which tells us to maintain a good diet and keep exercising and sleep the same amount every night, and hear hinge are really important. But compared the advice about mental health, which seems to be that we should keep going until we can't any more, it just seems crazy that mental rest isn't valued enough. I hope 2020 is better for you. X

Really proud of you❤️ You’re blasted online and it must be so difficult to feel you have to share these things, and of course you never have to! Despite that, the fact you do share helps other people feel less like they’re alone and in this case actually make a difference with raising money for Mind UK. It’s amazing Eve! I really admire you and if I can make even half as much difference in my life as you have in your time on youtube alone, I would be over the moon❤️ Here’s to a better 2020 xx

Eve I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. I’m so sorry that all of this happened to you this year and that your GP was so dismissive of you, which is horrible. I remember watching your vlog where you talked about your dissociation and really relating to what you were saying as I was also experiencing it at the time. Thank you for sharing this with us and this video will help so many people. I’m so glad I was able to meet you at Empowered by Vee this year because your videos have really helped me find help for my mental health. I hope 2020 brings you nothing but joy because you truly deserve it!

Hey Eve, I'm so sorry you had to go through this, dissociation is not a joke and neither are eating disorders or depression or anxiety. I deal with Anxiety and i get what you mean when stuff that wasnt even supposed to affect you sends you spiralling for weeks. I hope 2020 is better to you, remember to never give up on stuff, i admire your work ethic and hope to be atleast half as hardworking and determined as you. It was SUCH a good call for you to talk to your mom about it, always good to have a good family support system. Also Eve remember EVEN if it's a high functioning episode make sure to try doing little things, small accomplishments. nothing is your fault. I hate when these mental illnesses make you feel like you're the only one, though you're not. You're such an inspiration to me, and i love you for being brave enough to post this video to the world. Please remember to take breaks whenever you can.❤❤❤ love you, keep fighting, therapy does help. (And if it doesnt it's okay. Everything takes time.)

I suffered with OCD-related thoughts for over a year before I sought help and got CBT. The night everything came crumbling down was horrible, and I was sick, and from that point on, it was exactly like what you said. Bad thoughts, sad thoughts - everything that wasn’t true was becoming true in my head and it ruined my brain. And it was horrific, and dark. What you said makes so much sense. I didn’t think the CBT changed me, but one day it did, and head started figuring out things again. It’s been over a year since my last CBT session. I still worry about some stuff, I will always need to put extra work in for my brain to process things, but I know it’s okay. You’ve got this Eve, honestly. Life can only get better from here! ✨

Big hugs and glad to hear you’re moving forward ❤️

This Video has really helped me. I sometimes feel a bit weird, a bit unhappy, a bit lost, a bit like my life is going and I'm just being taken with it not actually realising what is going on! I work a lot (but I love it) and I am always busy so that does not help, and sometimes it all gets too much and I begin to break down but hide it from everyone thinking I am a bit weak or dramatic. This video has opened my eyes and made me be a bit nicer to myself, sometimes things are a bit hard and something things won't be all smiley and rainbows, but that's ok! I am going to keep a diary/journal for a little while, until things get a bit better to allow me to write down my thoughts and feelings and hopefully let them disappear for a while. I am so proud of what you're doing for MIND (I have previously raised money for them) and I believe it is so important to spread awareness, especially as you are an influencer and make sure a difference to young people all across the country! Keep doing you, you are doing great!

I experienced something similar when I was doing my a levels in 2018, when everything felt so out of control my eating was one thing I could control. Halfway through my exams I just stopped eating and everything became so difficult. I managed to finish my exams but I couldn’t start eating again, and the whole summer was so tough that I lost 20% of my body weight. I’m doing better now but at stressful times it can still be really hard. Thank you so much for talking about this there really needs to be more awareness about stress-related eating disorders. Being “thin” and losing weight is seen as good in our society and workaholism is becoming so normalised, social media doesn’t help this either so its so good that you are talking about this.

@Littlerue1

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety during my GCSE’s. My anxiety and depression tends to appear during really stressful periods, including my A-Levels. After my A-Levels, I decided that I needed to take a break from education so I worked for a year to try and save some money for uni (which didn’t happen because I’m a spend thrift 😂). During this time, I changed my mind on which university to attend because my best friend had applied to this university and I felt that I would need my family and her support as it was closer to home. However, the university only runs 2 year courses so the normal degree is condensed. I visited my student support for the first time within 3 months of starting university and they gave me absolutely no support. My anxiety and depression started to spiral out of control. I threw myself into writing assignments during the terms where I didn’t have exams as a way to distract myself from what I was feeling. The terms where I had exams, the amount of pressure was absolutely ridiculous and caused all of the emotions and stress I was experiencing to seep out of me (I spent the majority of those terms at home crying). My university did not check in on me at any point. I went to student support again at the beginning of this year when home issues started to affect my university work and I just vented to the support officer, which helped a little bit. However, the home issues began spiralling out of control, which the support officer had told me they would, and I still didn’t get any further support from my university. No extra meetings, no check in emails, absolutely nothing. I have fortnightly meetings with a personal tutor, that I cancelled every time because I didn’t want to go, which was not a red flag for my university apparently. My mental health was rapidly spiralling downhill through my final two terms and I really didn’t care about anything that I was doing. I didn’t care about learning, even though some of my favourite modules were being taught. I stopped going to lectures, seminars and tutorials, and started writing my assignments later into the term giving myself less and less time, leaving myself 3 days to write my final assignment. During my final two terms, I was also writing my dissertation, and was relying on police forces to complete a questionnaire. With one week to go before data entry had to be completed, I had 0 participants. I was having panic attacks constantly because my anxious thoughts were spiralling more and more the closer to the deadline I got. The exams in December were so stressful that I barely revised for them and after the term had finished I spent an entire day crying, letting out all of the emotion from the last term. I was completely exhausted, from university, from hiding my mental health, from existing. Many times during my time at university, I had experienced suicidal thoughts (I never acted on them) but I always thought ‘What if I did? Would anyone notice that I wasn’t even there?’ I know what the answer was; they never would have even guessed. I’m slowly getting myself to a better place but I wish that my university had offered more support, with my mental health, my home life and my degree.

When I finally went to the doctor (with my friends basically holding my hand to do it), she immediately agreed that i have anxiety and suggested that I go on medication, which has helped so much.

Watching this video made me realise that I was gradually building up the same thoughts, mannerisms and environment around me from iGCSE onwards (I started uni this year but decided to drop out and start fresh at a different uni next year for a difference course.) You've described it so clearly and it was quite dangerously relatable especially with control. I feel so much less alone or different with how I see and handle the world now; I have always convinced myself that I was born to be like that because of the lifestyle my family has. But now you've given me a lot more hope that it's possible to water them down... and hopefully I'll have a better crack at uni in 2020 Thank you so much for uploading this! 😄

Anxiety and depression can be so isolating, and with doctors disregarding you as well, it took me a solid 7 years of therapy to get meds for my problems, bc nobody would believe me. This is a big rambly mess of a comment bc it's like 3am here, but the basic gist is that thing captain holt from B99 says "everytime someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more inclusive space"

Marina Cas It can ease and soothe symptoms for people whose brains work well with the meditation techniques, but if one has tried and it still hasn’t worked then any good therapist/psychologist really shouldn’t suggest it

Mental health struggles in all their forms affect everyone differently. 2 people may both have depression for instance, and may both have similar causes, but the impact it has on them is very different, therefore the healing processes will be different too. I believe that is what's needed more, not understanding just the mental illness, but understanding the person as a unique individual. I suffer from a combination of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and have recently opened up in a very public way. I strongly believe those who have walked this road, or are still walking it and have opened up should be there to support and encourage others who are maybe fearful of doing the same. Complete respect to anyone who is facing these struggles too 👍

I had a similar experience with my GP at home, it took me 4 years to go back when the same problems had severely deteriorated. I don't know if it's being a teenager, being female, or just an overstretched service, but it was horrible. I'm glad you are in recovery and feel able to share your experience on this platform. It is not easy, but good things will come. Wishing you the best for 2020 x

this video has been more helpful than i think you realise, you made me realise the way i think and act isn’t normal and i don’t have to feel like this forever. Uni is so amazing but it is the place where i think you feel everything to such an intense level and everything feels so much more overwhelming and isolating. 2020 is the year i’m going to become a happy version of me, forever. Thank you

You've grown a lot and will still continue to grow, spiritually. We all have our highs and lows but in our low moments it's best to confront your problems and work through them, which is what you did. Self-reflection is so important and I cannot enunciate how thoughtful you are for uploading this video as I know it was probably really hard to open up about what you've been going through. You are honestly so strong and I hope 2020 brings you more joy and happiness compared to this year :) xx

Omg! You’ve just explained to me how I think. I never realised before but those thoughts you have, I think I get. It almost feels as if I’m dreaming but I feel everything like I fall and a spike goes through my head or I imagine a family member falling down the stairs and they break their neck and you feel it, the sensation the emotions and it’s completely overwhelming. I feel ridiculous saying that because it sounds so stupid but that makes me think about it more like I’m an awful person for saying that, I feel guilty and then try to think of ways to fix it. So I’d avoid that place for the day. I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that it really sucks but thank you for sharing because it’s been a lightbulb moment for me xxx

I can relate so so much. This year I have been struggling with quite a lot of mental health problems, more than ever before. Actually I was literally feeling the same things, just I was never diagnosed. I had those depressive periods, where I would literally hit rock bottom. I was in uni and for example I would spend three days ( around the weekend, cause I had lectures during the week), not going out of my room, a completely mess, confident that nobody loves me and nobody will ever will. Just I would get depressed for no reason or something very stupid will start a depressive episode, for example someone not inviting me somewhere. There were some things in my personal life that just made this worse and worsened the depression and the anxiety. Just awful time. Also I decided to use food as a way to cope with al of my problems and I gained so much weight, this just makes me feel even worse. Not going to comment on the overthinking. But it will be fine, it goes away. Stay strong and I hope 2020 is the best year for you. Also well done for searching for help ❤️that’s the best thing to do, I feel like. This is just an example that everyone struggles and that sometimes the people that seem the strongest, can be in a bad place mentally or in whatever way. Btw when is your birthday? I think we might be sharing a birthday 🎂

And I get what you mean about the pride of not going to the doctors. I think what doesn't help is when everyone says we shouldn't go to the GP for small things, such as a cough. That's what you did and 5/6 months later it turned into a chest infection. This happened to my friend who had a really bad belly and 2 days later ended up in A&E to get her appendix out. Use the GP if you need to guys!
@chanelsea2026
@chanelsea2026 4 года назад
To be fair, if everyone went to the GP for every small cough there would never be appointments available. It’s only recommended you go if you’ve had it for 3 weeks. Additionally, if you did have a stomach ache you probably wouldn’t go to your GP immediately depending on how bad it was. Also in the case of appendicitis you would have ended up in a and e regardless as it would’ve needed removed I agree with the pride in going to the doctors but like we also need to know what is and isn’t necessary to be seen by a doctor. Seeing a pharmacist first makes more sense for many things regarding advice
@tgwtg9428
@tgwtg9428 4 года назад
@@chanelsea2026 I agree with you 100%. The appendix example I gave was just the first one that popped into my head. I've had a family member who had what they thought was the flu so didn't go to the doctors. Turned out to be pneumonia and they ended up in ICU. What I meant by my post was that if you seriously feel like there is something wrong with you and it's been persistent for a while, do use your GP. Pharmacists can be helpful and yes consider going to them first, but they don't have all your medical history like doctors do which might be vital.

Oh god, this year has been very similar for me. I couldn't have related to it a year ago but now, oh, dear, I really understand what you are saying. Especially about the anxiety that makes your thoughts run and run in circles. For me, my academics were a fuel to the fire, since I had to think so intensely about my work, this intense thinking encompassed my personal issues, it started me on rethinking the entire humanity, the world, everything. It was an absolute hell. Wishing you (and myself) a better 2020.

I’m new to your channel so I’m watching this late, but I just wanted to say thank you for being so open about your mental health and using your platform to spread awareness. I went through a breakdown in grad school 20 years ago. Looking back, I’m glad it happened then, because I learned coping skills while in recovery that have made life, stress and even traumatic events easier to deal with later in life. But I did need help to learn those skills, and would encourage anyone reading this who is undergoing mental health issues to seek help, and be persistent even in the face of dismissive GPs.
