    That’s sad to see how adorable Ruby’s mother turned out after she got the proper help she needed.

    I love her!! Another example of someone in the public eye, who can speak out about family dynamics and mental illness. I don't think there is a human alive who is completely 'together'.

      Agreed. No matter how hard they try to hide it.

    Ruby, don't suppose you will ever read this, but my life and parents are so similar to you and yours. I didn't use that chemical to drive me forward though. Currently in counselling and starting to understand as 40 looms near. Your work on mental health is very admirable, well done for highlighting. Thank you for what you said here about mother's being sensitive in asking the question, I have worried about the cycle continuing with my son's, thank mother nature I didn't have girls!!

    Ruby the Universe was showing off when you were made.
    My Parents survived Auschwitz and my Mummy would take to bed for three days every couple of months.
    Mummy always left a card on my bedside table 48 hours before her confinement to bed.
    We always piled on the bed and Mummy would read us ghost stories.
    Ruby bless you x

    • @26hint
      @26hint Před 7 lety +1

      @kianahabibagahi4747 Před 6 lety +1

      Cinqmil based on her previous talks, I think it's adrenaline . You could check them out if you like (: she has lots of repetition but she's great at every talk

    .... talk, talk, talk,!
    SO IMPORTANT.
    - In our Family; NOTHING was talked about ...... closed Off in our 'worlds' - & for a kid; THAT is Disastrous!
    It can be Bad enough being the youngest; a male ... & having the usual: older sisters pinching you in your pram etc.,
    (Love That term 'pinching'! In Reality your legs n' arms can be black and blue & no Wonder that anger festers away ...... Till Later)
    - FAMILIES can drive you up the 'F****N WALL'
    Oh Yea; some might get on Great with each other?
    ..... I've Never come across It!! 🤯🖕
    LOVE YA' RUBY

    What chemical? Is she talking about a supplement, over the counter or prescription?

    • @hammygirl81
      @hammygirl81 Před 6 lety +3

      Joshua Taylor I think she's talking about cortisol. It's a neurotransmitter. A chemical which passes messages around the brain. When the levels are off, the brain reacts.
      There are several neurotransmitters responsible, in part for mood: serotonin, dopamine, cortisol.
      These chemicals cannot be bought or ingested. There are medications to increase the levels. Most anti depressants are SSRIs; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These increase the levels of serotonin at the synapse and effectively increase levels to attempt to alleviate depression and other mood disorders.
