recovering from a depressive episode ☁️ deep cleaning room, facing my anxiety and fears

you saying that your seasonal depression happens in summer is so relatable haha. i love winter and i feel like life is so much easier in winter (i dont have to care aboit my appearance, for one), even if the weather can get so cold that its physically painful. i feel like I like the idea of summer, but in practice it makes me so worried. I have a lot more 'responsibilities' in that there's more things i have to focus on such as socialising and clothes and how i should be interacting with people.

the anxiety of putting things off and getting more anxious to do them the longer you wait is so real! felt that so much 🥲

You fixed my life girl , your videos are most comfortable thing to me

Literally going through the same patch in my life. Messy room, anxiety, post grad, fading relationships, and so much more! But TODAY I WILL BE PRODUCTIVE AND CLEAN MY ROOM. I’m tired of living in a messy room and having a messy mind. ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this video

VIA WE MISSED YOUUUU

I know you prob wont see this, but, Ive been watching your videos for about a year now. They help me a lot. As someone who also has seasonal depression, just in the summer I really love your content. You remind me that its okay to just exist, wake up and go on my day. I am so grateful for you ❤ thank you Via ❤

it's so refreshing to see someone who struggles with anxiety over small things because I struggle a lot with that too and I don't think people actually understand how hard it is ! thank you for making authentic content :)))

my depression always gets worse during summer, meanwhile, everyone around me seems to thrive during summer :') so i feel u girl, thanks for the motivational content as usual, you got this <3

I totally understand how you feel. Especially "I need to get my life together." I feel like I'm failing in so many aspects of my life right now (going through a lot), but watching your videos always boosts my energy. I always wanted to say this. Thank you for inspiring us, I'm so grateful✨️😊🥲

Honestly that's true, I'm just seriously feeling lazy even with exams around the corner, thank you for this video Via

this video couldn't have come at a better time. Via, I feel you so much, girl. I've been procrastinating doing a deep clean and organising sesh too. going down the rabbit hole of social media and staying in bed watching show after show is just so much easier??? lol I also don't know why such simple tasks like doing laundry or going out to buy some basic groceries triggers me so much too but it does. in these moments, I try not to judge and blame myself too much and remember a scene from friends (one of my favourite tv shows): when chandler was freaking out about HOW BIG it was that it was his wedding day and ross asked him to take it step by step - "can you just come home and take a shower? that doesn't seem so scary does it?" so.... can you just get out of bed and wash your face? can you just maybe change clothes? can you just pick your wallet and breathe fresh air? can you just drive/walk to the store? you can always come back... but take it step by step. and you'll be so proud when you've done it. and it gets easier. there's highs and lows. but it does get easier. remember, just breathe. just wash your face. one thing at a time <3 <3

omg as soon as you said your seasonal depression is summer...girl~ it's so relatable honestly. i was feeling depressed two weeks, tired, not sleeping, studying and then one day it rained and i wasn't depressed anymore, turns out i did not need a mindset change, i needed a weather change!!

aw man I really related to this. The rooming cleaning was so cathartic. Usually my room reflects my mental state and I don't notice it slowly getting messy because that's when I am slowly getting overwhelmed with life stuff. Good on you for working through it! And I totally resonate with acknowledging that the slumps are temporary. I used to call it "riding the wave" because it helped me acknowledge that I'm in a slump and it's not going to instantly get better, but that if I do all things that help me climb out of it, like cleaning and eating well, I'll eventually come back out of it.

Lately I’ve been feeling that I’m in rut constantly wanting to stay in bed and unmotivated to do anything, doomscrolling on my phone and suffering with migraines,IBS , and just mentally drained which made me want to change hence , I deactivated my insta , deleted TikTok, and focused on living in the moment , doing the things I used to enjoy and feel comfortable in my own skin . I know that being fully immersed in the virtual world is risky , and to say the least , I needed a break from everything going around the world , and the peer pressure that I always felt bout posting on Sns and staying in touch with friends , always being the one reaching out , I’m proud of myself I made the decision to take things slow and know that I’m worthy of a break . Watching this vid made me feel seen , thank you via for sharing your dark moments and “flaws” (it’s not a flaw in my perspective but it makes me feel seen and valid ). Love you heaps and loads via , thank you for being who you are and sending you virtual hugs and kisses from right here <333

no joke i’ve been scrolling for 20mins desperately looking for something to watch while i eat! I’M SEATED TIME TO WATCH

Your videos help me improve my life. I was always afraid of trying new things and going out alone since I don't have irl friends. I have anxiety even going out of the house sometimes. I recently went out to the movies alone so that's an achievement for me :)

Aw Via I appreciate videos where you decide to let us into your personal bubble and I just want to say I’m proud of you for doing your best 🫶

They may be small tasks but I am so proud of you Via!! I have very similar experiences with anxiety and procrastination and its very comforting to be able to watch your vlogs ❤

the summer seasonal depression is so relatable!!! its always seemed like everyone else gets sad over winter when im the complete opposite😭😭like i love winter sm, but summer?? def not..

thank you so much, always, Via, for allowing us glimpses of your life and for sharing such vulnerable moments of yourself. I find immense comfort at how relatable your experiences are, just knowing that I'm not alone in feeling major ups and downs randomly calms my anxiety ;; please stay healthy and happy!!
