I do not think you are describing body dysmorphia rather dpdr- depersonalization derealiazation, it is a form of dissociation, am sending support your way, know how difficult it can all be, you totally got this!

Sorry girl, thats how it is with depression. I was once your age too. Hoped i could beat it. Never did.😢

I'm depressed since i was 12, and i'm 48...Like you said, i'm exausted, so empty and scared...I hate life and myself.

Have you tried antidepressants Hun? I am 23 and i had severe anxiety and ptsd and deepression and i started taking lexapro (10 mg) and it literally changed my life!!!! I dont know if you maybe take medications but whether u do or not i would rly advice you to ask a doctor for this specific medicine and see. Hope to see you get out of this shell because deepression is HELL

Reese, I've been following you for years, I don't even know how many. But as always, I so appreciate your authenticity and rawness. I'm so glad to see you again and really look forward to what you create. Wishing you all the best!! <3

Omg how much did you make before u get a job?

I can imagine it being so worth it if you get a job you love! I hate my job so I hate the 9-5. 😅

no fr. i had a bad depressive episode during high school and when i graduated i got a full time job for a year and going to work and therapy were the only things i did. had i not needed to go to work every day i would have actually rotted away in bed every day. that dumbass job that required very little skill and thinking might have actually saved my life lmfao

you're are an important person

hey! i dont know if that's entirely body dysmorphia, i think it's dissociating straight up. i get that too <3

thank you so much for sharing! This is so relateable!

So glad you’re back! I met your channel through the spirituality videos, and I must say you’ve been helping me come in terms with my identity, responsibilities and adult life so much. To know that i’m not alone in thinking that I might be going a liiiittle bit crazy with all this adult stuff, has really made me feel better and more capable of chasing my dreams, my art, and of course, a job that can give me stability and money! So i just wanted u to know that. When I reach my full potential, u can be certain that part of it was due to your videos ❤

You could call it the challenging Q1

Thank you for sharing I just bought mark 3

you’re so funny and i don’t feel this way about people i see on the internet a lot

I recommend you look into depersonalization and derealization, makes you feel more “normal” and real to know that there’s a name and more people that feel what you mentioned as dysmorphia.

I like you but maybe make your videos a little less chatty?

As someone just coming out of a 8 month long depressive episode, thank you. I'm so proud of us

I’m so held back by my fears it’s ridiculous

Is that 6 doors I see behind you, nobody has managed to get 6 doors in the shot, that's impressive. 👌🦃

What is your mbti, just curious!

I got a 9-5 after going through a rough depression as well. The routine was needed!

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Hey what your talking about at 11:00 sounds like derealisation or depersonalization, its a mental health side effect worth researching!

I think what you described, about looking in the mirror, is actually dissociation. But don't be alarmed! If it is, what youre doing to make yourself feel better now is treating it ❤

congrats on your job!! i definitely agree with you i do't think i could do a fully remote job because it'd lose my mind being inside all the time. i think this is why it's important for influencers to go to college/ have a passion outside of content because as you get older your goals might change and creating content might not be what you want to do long term

I’m same way. I’m planning to make bank off of my content, but I also am unsure sometimes. I wish I could risk myself more.

We're here for you! ❤

Watching your older videos today for comfort❤️ love you Reese

As a full time creator who has only been leaving my house to walk my dog, I feel this to my core. Proud of you for making a change that’s best for you!

oh boyyyyy. I am a mentally ill girly who suddenly blew up on social media as i was graduating collage and have never worked a regular job. this video spoke to my soul. this is the first video of yours that i have seen but wow i think we are the same person. thank you for making this video

I love your hair color

I fuckin LOVE u so much you’re so real and it really hits everything you said in the video 🥲 🫶🏼🫶🏼

@basicallyreese holy shit how much our mental brains are the same fuckery! I either have days with optimism and stupidly smiling and happy, or literally bed rotting wondering what the point of anything is. Also the face dismorphia: i cant believe you also experience that, i tbought i was the only one! I literally look at my face sometimes and trip out that it's me, my face. Your videos have WORTH especially when you share so candidly. You make mental gals like me feel less alone. I appreciate you and know that you are contributing to the world in a positive way.

i love my 9-5. It has saved me in every possible way. It gets me out of bed, forces to take care of myself and be responsible. Ppl who hate on 9-5 just dont get it sometimes.

dog days are over 🗣️🗣️

dog days are over 🗣️🗣️

You;re so naturally pretty, I love the dark hair and features

I suffer from the same issue…. I’m still struggling with it even after getting into a new manager job too……. It’s stressful and sometimes I dread it….. I may have made a mistake 😬

Listening to u feels like listening to someone talking about myself. Keep going girl.

so happy to see you, and so happy to hear that you’re doing well 🫶💓 sending love always

Did you need to sneeze? 😂 looked like you had to but you were trying so hard not to

oh girl there’s so much I wanna say! What a lovely surprise to see a new video! Thank you for sharing this <3 I’m so glad to hear something from you again. Soo glad to hear your inactivity was not due to your depressive episode. 🙏🏻 I relate to sooo many things you said.. The being scared and not knowing how to ever have a “regular” job due to mental illness. The dissociation, the mirror thing, ugh so many things and its terrible… its all so so terrible….. I feel so seen.. thank you... I’m sending you so much love and strength Reese. I’m so proud of you. Keep doing what you heart and soul want. Keep doing what is best for you. ❤️

so happy for you <3

Getting hired literally saved my life when I found out my ex was cheating on me and I was having suici... thoughts . After finding about it, I would wake up and spend all day in the sofa with a bottle of cheap alcohol on the side trying to fall asleep without pills. When I took the job, I was forced to wake up take a shower and pretend that I was ok during the day. I ended up meeting wonderful people with whom I would laugh, even if it took a while to feel hapiness again. I still think about my ex every week, I still feel depressed from time to time, but that's how life goes. I'm not working there anymore, but I'm really grateful for the impact that it had in my life. If anyone needs to read this, it really gets better ♡

i’ve been watching you since you were living at your parents and shipt shopping and i am so proud of you :) i also deal with depression and it’s so comforting to watch an “influencer” who is so real and deals with the same struggles ❤

hey reese! hi, im a suscriber since about two years and you’ve been one of my favourite content creators of all time you’ve been with me in my mental health journey all along! i really feel conected with your journey and i have felt the same things so many times i think you are such a creative person and i relate maybe too much😅 i feel THE SAME about coffee, i really felt that i needed it to exist and do the bare minimum i’ve been recently diagnosed with inattentive adhd and i feel so much freedom now and i feel like maybe many of us as a comunity, may be neurodivergent… whats makes me wonder… maybe you could be too? im sorry because i think that maybe is a rough aproach, im argentinan and my english is not very good so im not very good at making a point🙃 you are SUCH a nice and amazing person and your content inspires me thank you reese for sharing little bits of your life and i wish you always the best❤️

You are doing so well 🫶🏻 do what you need to do. Be gentle with yourself. Set small goals so you don’t hate yourself if you miss big goals. You got this ❤

Hey ! I’m 16 and i’ve been watching you for a few years. Your so relatable and comforting for me to watch im such a big fan, whenever i say the word basically at home my mom says reese because she knows how much i watch you 😭 You always make me feel like i want to post on youtube because of how much i appreciate you sharing your story. We will always watch anything you put out and will always be here when you post but i’m so glad your mental health is getting better and whenever you feel like posting i’m sure all of us will appreciate it ❤️❤️
