I have loved this message back in 2016 that gave me hope and lead me on this journey of self love. I’ve been rocking with you since then, it was never the messenger it was the message. I listened without judgment all the while I was healing. What you looked like never mattered it was what you were saying that helped me. Your message was about love, compassion, non judgment and self love . I am a forever fan because I too can attest that this self love journey really works. Heal well my friend 🥰🙏🏾
YOU are such a gift to this world. Seeing your comments each week has been a highlight for me - and I really hope that what I am doing here is serving you and continues to serve you in the future. You are so deeply worthy of ALL the love and compassion, and I am sending you a massive, massive hug!!
What an empowering and inspiring message. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery and a future of beautiful and delicious culinary experiences. Your strength, selflessness, determination and stamina amazes me. Much love, light and blessings :)
duuuude. this is the best news i’ve heard in several years!!! i am beyond happy for you, i can’t imagine what might be in store for you once you are feeling so much better!! you are amazing and you deserve every bit of wellness and happiness and adventure and freedom that is in store for you. i am so sorry that it was such a long and hard road to this answer, what an epic journey. you are the toughest of cookies and we are so proud of you, grateful for you, inspired by you. amazing amazing amazing. SO MANY CONGRATULATIONS!!! ❤🌸🎉🍕🍀🍟🥨🥚🍑🎈🌽🍌🌈🌸🎈🌞✅🎉
Thank you so much!! I have no idea what this journey is going to look like now, and all I can do is hope that I can continue to be a source of hope and support for all who are suffering, struggling and also all who are wanting to just find more and more levels of self love and compassion - because no matter what, at the end of the day, this is what we all need and deserve
Alright, I struggled with anorexia and continue to address digestive issues. It was disheartening not to be taken seriously; many assumed I was avoiding certain foods. I forced myself to eat, leading to my body rejecting it. Encountering ad hominem fallacies due to my eating disorder was painful. Upon recovery, the frustration grew as 'professionals' didn't consider my experiences seriously. I even compelled myself to consume foods that were not suitable for me, driven by the ignorance of these 'professionals' who failed to grasp my specific needs and struggles, just because they assumed I was lying -which was quite offensive as I wasn’t-. Your video brought tears to my eyes, I've been through a similar struggle. It's crucial for professionals not to assume we're lying without questioning that we may actually be honorable human beings with good intellect trying to get even better. Thank you so much for sharing. Know that you have always given me strength to trust, honor and step up for myself and your successful experience is food to my soul. Keep on being such an example of self love, intelligence and confidence. You were a big inspiration in the early stages of my recovery and you keep on feeding my soul with your blunt self trust. Thank you so much for being so generous and sharing all of your content.❤
I am SO sorry that you have gone through all this, that you have been told you are lying, that you have been accused of just having an eating disorder and that you've had to force yourself to eat in ways that don't feel good to you. Truly, it is just so deeply unfair that this happens and I am so sorry that you have had to go through all of that. You are worthy of being seen and believed, and it is deeply not ok how you've been treated. I really want you to know that you are worthy of your own love and care, and the fact that YOU believe you, that you are willing to stand up for you, that you are willing to advocate for you IS so important. You are worthy of that, and I hope that this content continues to support you in finding more and more strength and inner resource as you work towards finding a way of being that actually works for you. You are worth the time and effort, and I hope you know how special and valuable you are
You’re an inspiration. I’ve been following your path for about 10 years and it’s beautiful to see your evolution. I can relate so much because in the last few years I’ve felt like I’ve crossed over the hump of the mountain and things seem to be getting easier. We know so well how to be someone who struggles but we get to learn how to step into a new life and shed our suffering, while still carrying appreciation for what it taught us. Life is beautiful. An exciting new chapter is here. I wish you happiness and healing 🐣 🌻 ☀️
YES! Learning how to be in the suffering is one thing, and now learning how to be on the other side, how to use it to serve others, how to live in more lightness and freedom - it's a whole new journey and one I'm really excited for. This has been something that HAS been happening in my life over the last 10 years in many other aspects, but with health yes!! Sending you so much love for YOUR new chapter as well dear one!!
jaw is on the floor. But honestly I think about you often hoping that you were finding health. I am just so happy to hear that you've found a solution to your lifelong health struggle. As someone who's also struggled for decades. I know how deeply the statement "health is wealth" is TRUE.
Totally true! I don't think people really realize how much not having health impacts literally every corner of your existence. I am so excited for this new chapter, and I appreciate your words of love and encouragement so much
I hope you get to blossom even more. And enjoy and expierence the things you wern't alble to before the surgery. Enjoy the new chapter of your life.🎉 ❤
Thank you Aliyah, it breaks my heart to listen into the experience you've been going through. You deserve so much love, respect and care. You are doing so much for humans out there spreading the beauty inside you, helping us to learn to truly love ourselves despite what is going on outside. Thank you again and looking forward to hear from you and see you shine out of the physical pain you were dealing with 🙏🏽 Loads of Love, Manuel
Thank you so much for watching and for this very thoughtful comment! Sending you so much love and I hope that the work around here continues to serve you!
I'm so happy to hear about this and I really wish you a wonderful recovery. I'm working with the medical medium info to heal cfs that has debilitated me for many years and I think I can share the feeling of looking forward to getting healthy and being able to actually LIVE. You are a true warrior 💪♥🤗
I cannot tell you how proud i am of you and how much you've persevered with your health struggles to come to this end result. You did it girl! You made it!❤ Also, i hate that you have had to explain yourself and your health and prove it to ppl your whole life and you even got interrupted during this live..urgh.. but it doesn't matter now, coz you were right all along 🎉
Thankful am I that you are so much better. Thanks for your transparency and inspiration. I wish you continuing improvement and that thriving becomes the norm for you!
Your words mean SO much to me! I hope that in the future this work continues to support and inspire you to love yourself more completely too! I always love reading from you and seeing you around here
I'm am so glad that you had the surgery. I'm also glad that you started a self love journey that saved you. I came across this video at random and was drawn into your story. You seem like such a genuine person.
Wow Aliyah! I'm beyond happy for you! What a relief and incredible joy 🤩 Also the way you care for others in the middle of all this is more inspiring than I can express. I love your videos and look forward to what your future work will be, more than ever!
So happy that this work is serving you lovely!! Thank you for these kind words and yes I hope this work continues to be a support for you in your life moving forward
U are beyond an angel. I can relate to the focus being om the eating disorder. I had colonic inertia and gastroparesis and they refused to do testing . I now have a permanent illeostopy bag. 8 years balled over in pain and now things are better but still dealing with a lot of pain and need to get my colon completely removed trying to love myself through this . U are so inspiring to me . I needed to see this today. I am having a horrific flare up of colitis and am so blessed to have so your video . U are an angel . I need to just love myself through this . I can't tell u the release of stuck energy in my body as a result of this video. Please please U first my precious lovely light
I am so sorry to hear that you weren't listened to, and I am so sorry that you are currently in pain and having to struggle through all of this. You are an absolute champion, and I hope you know how deeply powerful YOU are - having to live with pain, having to make it through so many days where you can't just 'be normal' but where you DO have to 'get on' with things, not knowing from one day to the next how you're going to feel or what life is going to be like - people really don't understand. You are so worthy of that love. You are so worthy of your own compassion and the release of anything other than that. Sending you all my love for your continued journey, just be gentle and soft with yourself. You are worthy of kindness and compassion at all times. One day, one moment, one step at a time, I pray for you that there is release and relief from this pain
im so happy for this upturn, its revelation!! i can see why you are so excited to share. im so glad for your life and im glad that you are allowed to be on your own side. youre not the only one there
love you Aliyah 💖 I've been following you for 7 years and just came back to your videos after stoping listening to them for years feeling i was failing to get better spiritually and all. I literally just started to understand your very first videos about eating disorders I couldnt relate to 7 years ago. I've been religiously watching them over and over again everyday and binge watching them . I'm going through suicidal days with my eating disorder and you are the only person that help me and give me hope on that level (no pressure (I know you're not a guru you're just great lol)). Your wisdom and experience have infinite value to me, thanks for everything you do and share. truly. ❤🩹
Oh love, you are SO worthy of your own love and respect, and whatever journey you need to take to get to the other side of healing with this. Our culture and conditioning is so harsh, and I want you to know that you are worthy, lovable, fully and completely enough at all times, no matter what. I am so happy to hear that this content is serving you, and I am holding in my heart a vision of you living a life where you know how deeply loved and worthy you are at all times. Keep showing up for you, keep honoring your value. Keep looking for your and the truth. You will find it.
Woooow 🤯 You're so lovely and such a gem. I'm so happy for you. I struggle SO much with all my internal junk and change/healing is going at such a horrible snail's pace but the little moments of feeling uplifted I get from content like yours helps me to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I hope you can finally start _really_ feeling better 🙏
Oh I SO hear you on this! The true path really IS slow, and I think our culture is really good at shaming, blaming and guilting us for that. The reality is, there is no quick fix for finding ourselves and getting on this path of self love and support - and I really just want to encourage you that every step you take, every little bit of effort you put in, every moment you are willing to just be compassionate with yourself COUNTS. You are making progress and it DOES add up, and I promise you that one day you are really going to see and feel it. Sending you all my love, and remember, you are fully WORTH the time and effort always
Very happy for you. So very glad you now have diagnoses to work with. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ It took from 2010-2023 too find out what was wrong with me. I lost my job. My world got smaller until I was just existing in bed. It took so long to find out what I had and even longer to understand how to heal. You have helped me so much. All of your talks and your thoughts have been a part of my healing. THANK YOU ❤️🙌🏾❤️
You are AMAZING! I am so happy to hear that you have been able to work through that dark time, that you were able to be on your own side and that you were able to SUPPORT yourself. You are so worthy of all of that. Sending you SO much love
I havent logged in youtube in ages, and i used to watch your videos all the time, im glad you finally have your diagnosis and treatment, hope you heal properly and soon, im glad to see you again
Ali, this both breaks my heart and makes me so happy for you. I'm so sorry that you went through that for so many years, and people just disregarding you, blaming you. You are such a strong woman, I am blown away by you. I'm so happy that you advocated for yourself, were able to have the surgery, and I look forward to hearing that you may actually enjoy food one day. Blessings and hugs.
Incredible! So happy for you! I can't even begin to imagine how you did all that you have done for yourself and others in spite of (and because of) your problems! I have massive respect for you!
It's always been my driving force to be able to turn what I've been through into something that can serve others - and I hope to continue on with this trend for as long as I'm here breathing! Thank you for these kind words, and I hope that the content here continues to be of some service to you in your life
@@ThePerceptionTrainersPT You absolutely have been helpful to me. I know your self-love message is exactly what I need in spite of my struggles to accept it...
Congratulations!!!!! The entire medical complex should be required to watch this as part of their training. Their negligence is so off the charts & the general public shoving their "solutions" down ppls throats is equally offensive.
There is a LOT of misinformation and lack of awareness out there hey? And people really just trying to do their best in what are often really painful and impossible situations. My heart goes out to everyone really - even those working in medicine who are so over worked and stressed beyond stressed. It's just a lot for everyone hey?
Ali, I loved this video so much! I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through, and I respect and celebrate you and your wisdom! You are amazing! … It’s coming up on 10 years since our paths crossed online. Big hugs, love, and respect always! 😘 Paula
Finally watching this, I have not been actively engaging with your content for some time now - not because of you or your offerings, just the way my journey has beenI suppose ...anyway I still love your core message and I find you so geniune and engaging and I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well and to hear about your progress 💖
So happy to hear that you have ever found something of value in my content, and I hope that it does continue to serve you in the future if/when you come back to it! Sending you all my love and thank you so much for the well wishes
Wow what a miracle story! Best wishes for your body healing. And i did feel healing by your message about we all worth love(tearing😢). BTW You looks good to me in any ways ☺️
You are a prize, Lady. Congrats beautiful Warrior Queen. I’m so happy for you. And thank you for sharing. Just subscribed to watch your journey as you move forward thank God this world has you in it. Respect. 🙏🏻
@@ThePerceptionTrainersPT thank you dearly 💝 I found my way to daily Yoga practice and a simple raw food diet as well. I can relate to the life saving support they offer and what you are referring to in truth and the autistic perspective… looking forward to hearing more. Bless you.
I NEVER leave comments but your story is SO similar to mine and so many of the patients that I now help (I work for an integrative physician), I cannot even tell you. It is so shameful that people are literally left to die like this, which is basically what every single one of our doctors have been doing by dismissing our symptoms and misdiagnosing us left and right. It is PATHETIC that this is the standard of care , thank you so much for shedding light on your story and this system of abuse masquerading as health care ❤️❤️❤️❤️ If you need a really good doctor who actually listens and knows wtf you’re talking about and has helped people in the same situation in VA or MD, you let me know!!!
I totally agree - there was just SO much missed and so much that really should have been caught earlier. There was a lot of neglect in my story, and again, it's something that's really shaped me and my world view as being one that centers around the fact that we just need MORE care in ALL sectors of society. That's what this whole path is all about. Care is the core of it all - attention, slowing down, honoring. I am so grateful for your comment, thank you for the love and truly, I hope that YOU are receiving what you need and the support that YOU deserve as well! All my love to you
It is what it is! And I really like the person that I am, and I know I wouldn't be who I am having not had this experience - so while I would never wish it on anyone else, I also wouldn't change it. Life is a mystery sometimes and that's ok! But yes, onwards and upwards from here! Sending you all my love, thank you for being here and I hope this work continues to serve you
i cant wait for you to be able to enjoy your lfie , like never before , sorry for all ingnorant awful people who told all these stupid things about just eating etc , much love to you @@ThePerceptionTrainersPT
Mujer! Aún estoy escuchando, mi mente explotó! Eso suena muy duro y doloroso 😢... Y que frustrante! Que rabia que los doctores no mostraron curiosidad y altiro juzgaron con un diagnóstico... Estoy escuchando ahora la parte de tu diagnóstico y mi piel llegó a erizarse! Que alegría que al fin lograron dar con el problema ..y que problema!! Que emocionante! Me alegro mucho por ti Ali! 🙌❤️🎉🎉🎉 Tremenda lección de vida que nos entregas! Gracias por compartir ❤ cada vez que veo tus video me inspiras, me motivas, me educas...te amo mujer! Te envío un tremendo abrazo y unos saltos de alegría y entusiasmo ajaja ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh these words are so incredibly kind!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write them out to me. I am sending you so much love and kindness right back
Wow, im so deeply happy for you and inspired by you. I’m so happy they found out what has been wrong and that you were so strong in your knowing and wisdom and that you listened to it and kept strong to your purpose despite all of this deep struggle. I see you and am happy to see this reflection. You have helped me so much throughout the years with your message. Please keep sharing always. Also there are people listening who didnt care what you looked like! Also, i would really love if you could make a video about caring for people who have a mental illness. Im doing that full time as well for someone i really love and would appreciate your wisdom or things you have learned because its not so easy. Thank you❤️🙏
Thank you so much for these kind words! I appreciate them so much - and of course I will continue to share. Thank you for the topic suggestion as well - this is a hard one as I don't really think there are any hard and fast 'right' answers, as every situation is unique. For sure learning how to be gentle on ourselves as we navigate what is usually just a really hard situation is the main key - knowing that we do our best and that that's enough. Sending you so much love in your caring journey, it's really hard what you're doing and you are a champion for doing it
@@ThePerceptionTrainersPT yes so true, I do really need to remember to be gentle with myself and so true that there’s no one answer for something like this as it’s definitely unique. Thank you for all the wisdom sister, I’m wishing you a really easy recovery/healing both physical and mental from a lifetime of this undiagnosed illness, much love❤️
Stunning. Couldn’t believe someone was still trying to “advise” you while you were actively telling your story! 😑 I have a mild form of SIBO and as soon as I heard that, I was familiar and understand FODMAPs and all that. But holy hell, dude. What you went through? In my mind, you should be considered on par with David Goggins in your capacity to push past chronic pain and push yourself into super-human territory. You’re a hero for how you managed to sustain yourself despite this condition…and despite the hate you experienced for your appearance. Your message was always beautiful and now it has a whole other layer of…well, proof for its power. So so genuinely overjoyed for you! ❤ and excited for how your body can now develop and grow and function happily…and crucially, as a foodie, despite also having lifelong issues & sensitivities (only a fraction of yours!), I am SO pumped for you to be able to fully enjoy food!!
Haha, I do understsand it - the wellness industry has REALLY indoctrinated us into that idea that everything can should be cured naturally, that all problems are things we can intuitively understand and that if we aren't perfectly healthy, this means we must not taking true 'responsibility' for ourselves. It's a big part of the manufactured discontent/hyper individualism and navel gazing that is so poisonous in our culture. Yeah, and now it's all about learning how to NOT push through pain like that, learning about this new body and learning to lean into softness and gentleness! Thank you so much for this whole comment, I appreciate it so deeply and I appreciate YOU so deeply. Sending you all my love.
Thank you for sharing your story. For many years my dad used to vomit every night. I remember waiting for him to go to the bathroom before I could go to sleep. For years he was told it was psychological and connected to anxiety. Eventually he consulted a private doctor and found out that he had a pyloric stenosis and therefore the food he was eating could not travel properly through his body due to the blockage. He had surgery and subsequently began to recover. Your story made me cry, I trust you will go from strength to strength.
I am so sorry that your dad had to suffer so much, and that you had to suffer as well! Thank goodness he got a proper diagnosis, and I am so glad he was able to recover. I hope that you are also doing ok after all of that too! Sending you both so much love
I was so eager to hear what happened! Congratulations! 🥳 I cannot believe this was overlooked so long. I assume you had tests in the past so why it took until mid-30s is hard to understand but better late than never. I thought you said towards the end that you had eaten your first meal but then you seemed to suggest you hadn't done so yet. I had no idea how bad it had been, even with your prior videos. You have kept going somehow. Not to mention creating content six months in advance! Maybe now life will get easier for you. 🙏 Thank you for sharing!:)
Wow Aliyah, so relieved for you and sorry for what you have had to deal with all these years. Wishing you all the best in your recovery. I hope you can find balance with your diet and love your body for what it becomes as you heal. You are sharing such an important perspective that is so often missed in healthcare.
Also wanted to mention you ARE a special person. Not just anyone could do what you did. You are so disciplined and motivated and I think that should be acknowledged. P.s as someone who is studying health science I feel the responsibility to add that being severely under weight/frail causes body to have issues maintaining heat and is not a state of optimal health by any means- so even if you had ‘perfect test results’ the doctors were not considering all possible tests (e.g., bone density). I also hope you can work with a dietician to support your recovery to eating a more balanced diet based in scientific evidence.
Your glowing. Wow since you have been a baby 🙏. I got hella sad listening to this everything you went through, Your very strong, much respect. This is incredible im so happy for you, wow the tree story that you tell was you , you were not even getting water, now the tree is going to get water and food after 32 years. I’m so glad you didn’t give up and made videos and shared your message. Your message helped me so much. Thank you. A little bit of housekeeping I responded to one of your shorts and replied to you on accident. The buttons on my cell phone where to small I was trying to reply to the comments that were made that I felt were mean. I shouldn’t have replied But I got triggered by the trolls especially on your channel . Hope that makes sense.
Thank you for taking the time to listen! I appreciate the love - and I totally understand the technology issues haha - no worries at all! Sending you a huge hug
What a triumph Ali!!! Your lifelong unwavering perseverance and belief in yourself led you to victory. Have learned so much from you over the years and sympathized with your struggles. Am so thrilled you were finally diagnosed correctly and are on the path to total wellness. This "exoneration" must be the best moment of your life!!! 🤗👍❤❤❤
It's been a pretty bumpy ride actually! Lots of ups and downs and all arounds - and truly, the tools of this path have been keeping me a-float! Thank you so much for these lovely words of support, and I really hope that this content continues to inspire you and everyone who watches to love themselves, advocate for themselves and never give up on themselves
Thanks for your reply Ali, am workin' on it. Jeez, who would've thought it would be so hard to love yourself! Will continue to follow your work and wishing you all the best in the days ahead.@@ThePerceptionTrainersPT 🤗❤
As someone who was bulimic for 18 yrs the drs were never ever worried about me or assumed i had an ed at any of my surgerys either, i was jst good at hiding it
I have another type of vascular compression syndrome called Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome/celiac artery compression syndrome. It suuuucks! I also have MCAS. Do you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Abdominal vascular compression syndromes are more common in people with connective tissue disorders like EDS. You have the look of someone who has it, you have the same eyes as me 😊 I'm so glad you got your answer though - SMAS definitely makes MCAS worse too!
I am so sorry to hear that you're struggling, and I really hope for you that you're able to find better and better ways of managing what you have and even healing, so that you can feel better. Thank you so much for the love here, I really appreciate it coming from someone who deeply understands. I don't have EDS but I DO have hyper-mobility in my upper back and hips! All of this stuff does seem to really be connected and related hey? Sending you so much love for your body and healing
Awww ❤ unfortunately women are often not taken seriously in the healthcare world, especially young and "healthy" women and we are told it's "in your head"...I resonate so much with your story. I also had a lot of stomach pain, constipation and vomiting growing up. And things got worse in my 20s. My gallbladder slowed down to 25% of it's function and had it removed at age 25 but things kept worsening. I did so many colon cleanses and eventually relied on enemas to at least be functional until my colon motility got so bad that it perforated. Had a subtotal colectomy with anastomosis at age 35. At age 36 I had total pelvic prolapse and had surgery to correct it. I kept declining and and suffered with constipation, bleeding, pain and ulcers in the area of my ileosigmoid anastomosis. Tests showed pelvic floor and rectal dysfunction, had my sigmoid colon removed and got an ileostomy bag. It has made me a lot better, though I still have some issues with bloating and pain, and have to be careful about the foods I eat and I figured out that wheat and gluten contribute to my issues a lot. I've also been diagnosed with eating disorders and told to "just eat more" and also was told I had IBS and anxiety because I was young and "healthy" especially as a new mom and being young and back then I didn't have health insurance. It's difficult for sure. I get what you're going through, it is awful but I'm so glad u got an official diagnosis. Keep on keeping on and take care of yourself to heal
I am SO sorry that you have had to struggle through all that you have, and that you haven't gotten the care, support and recognition you deserve. You're so right, the system is messed up in SO many ways, especially in terms of how it treats women vs. men. I am so glad that you have found things that work for you, and I am sending you so much love and support as you continue your path of understanding yourself more and supporting yourself. You are so worthy of that. Every ounce of effort you've put in, you are worthy of it
I also had a very similar problem since at least the age of 5, probably earlier. I was in and out of the er on a regular basis. They always made lame excuses as to why I was in the fetal position gripping the bed, crying in excruciating pain. Even when I started going to the doctors, Noone knew what to do. I was very thin as a child and the pain made it harder to want to eat. As I got older, I went through bouts of being very thin to being slightly overweight when constipation set in. Always had had to watch what I ate. Ended up with other problems including rapid tooth lose and other numerological issues. I did throw up, as well but learned to keep it in check as I would be extremely weak afterwards. Had my gallbladder removed in my early thirties, as I was told I had a mass. Did not fix problem.Am 62 now and still have bad issues. So.etimes overeating to try and push the food through. Ended up with c.duff because of antibiotics for the stomach issues. Never heard of your condition, but am wondering if it may also be part of my problem. I also have a ascending aortic aneurysm. Too much to love with, but I have pushed on thru. Would love to find answers and be well. God bless you and continued good health. Pam
I am so so so sorry to hear of all the pain you have suffered throughout your lifetime, and I am holding space in my heart for you to find more relief and answers. Truly, chronic illness is something that those who don't experience it will often not understand, and my heart just goes out to you so deeply. I am so sorry that you have not received the answers that would have helped you, and again, I just want you to know how deeply worthy of love you are, and I am holding in my heart for you to have more relief and joy in your future
I think she's on LIVE but we can't see that, maybe there's chat on another platform or something, that's why I think she's looking up and reading comments and smiling and sometimes responding to what she's reading.
