I’m on day 5 and having an almost identical experience, thanks for the transparency!!! We need more of that. I hope you feel much better these days. ❤
i love how honest and transparent you are with this kind of stuff that people tend to avoid talking about
of course❤
i appreciate how honest you are with your struggles, it really helps me feel a little less alone to remember how common mental health issues are and that everyone needs support. we are gonna make it through
we got this❤️❤️
This helped a lot. You reminded me that I can be a human again. I love you so much Vanessa ❣️
i love you very much❤
This is the type of mental health awareness we need. Not some bs about curing depression with journaling
Thank you for post this video. I am in my first week and your video has giving me hope and some peace.
You are so Amazing! Thank you for this. I am grateful that I've found your channel and this vlog helps me to know that I'm not alone. Ty for being honest. Ly! ❤
Wow this was amazing to see I’ve been struggling with panic attacks & anxiety & seeing you starting to enjoy life was a good thing to see cause I’m scared to start anti depressants ❤️
thank you for the video cuz i thought i was insane for feeling like that after taking em. i hope you're good and safe now.
Thank you for putttijg this you may not think its helps but you have a big heart it helps anyone going thru it
Holy crap i really needed this video, I just started citalopram and I thought i just broke my brain beyond fixing, this helped me feel grounded sooo much
You are not alone! I've been on an antidepressants since february, it's very hard at first bcuz your body is adjusting on the medication but eventually you feel better, just take it the same time in the morning, never give up! I have been there just keep yourself busy, active or go for a walk when you feel anxious and agitated.
You are such a beautiful person. God bless you
I appreciate how honest you are, it really helps me feel little less alone❤️ I have been off medication (depression, anxiety attack,panic attack and adhd) for seven years now, but I have been struggling so so hard recently with my depression and my anxiety attacks.. but now after your video I really wanna try again and thanks to you I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow about trying again ❤️
Fr crying sobbing while watching this but I'm so incredibly proud of u
i love you so much. my entire heart is yours❤️
It takes courage to talk about things like this but it is really important you are doing it. I know everybody in this comment is here for you, anything you need to talk about, just go for it
Hey I just wanted to say that I've watched your channel probably since the start and you literally kept me so entertained!! I love seeing how far you've grown and how I have alongside you i love you!!
thank you for supporting me:,) i love you very much
thank u for sharing this i really appreciate how transparent u are. i felt so many of the same things before i went on meds and it makes me feel better that we r not alone
we are in this together❤️❤️
so happy and proud of you for taking that first step!!! keep us updated🫶🏻❤
❤❤❤will do
thank you for being so real
❤
I love how videos like these can lessen the stigma around mental health and has me know that I'm not alone. Earlier this week I got diagnosed with depression and social anxiety and I'm starting anti depressants next week. Videos like these lets me know that I'm also not alone and neither are you 🫶
I love you Vanessa, we got this!!!❤
WE GOT THIS!!❤️❤️
We love you Vanessa. Know that you are strong AND loved. Here for you always ❤️
i love YOU❤️❤️

i love you very much thank you
love you vanessa. im so proud of you!
i love you stella❤️❤️
hi vanessa! i am a silent follower but wanted to say that i was on zoloft, but switched to a new one which worked much better! side effects are so difficult sometimes so i know how you were feeling. things work differently on everyone, so don't feel bad if the first one doesn't work the way you want it to. sometimes it takes time or change, don't be afraid of it :) i love supporting you, and this is a huge first step to take for your mental health. i hope this will get better for you
❤️❤️thank you so much
I’m going through this same process with you rn, thank you so much for sharing your experiences, it really helps! 😭
❤️❤️
I was on lexapro for 2 years. My health insurance changed so I wasn’t able to get my medication. Currently, my depression, ptsd and anxiety haven’t been as bad for a while now. I felt like I was on autopilot for a while after me being off them. I had zero emotions. But it helped overtime.
Thank you for posting this. Starting zoloft later today and im nervous as hell.
after watching your videos for years now I’m so proud to see you taking this step even though it could be tough so take care of yourself in this journey ❤
thank you so much
I definitely agree with you, because if I felt like that
I cried with you ❤
We love you Queen we're in this together✊✊✊
❤️❤️
thank you for making this, I have been debating on whether I should get a diagnosis or not, especially since my family does not believe in mental health so its been rough, so truly thank you for being transparent
❤️❤️❤️of course
I’m feeling the same way but feeling like I need to get a diagnosis and go into therapy.
You’re welcome Vanessa😁💙
Love you Vanessa and I’m proud of you ❤❤ give Roo a hug for me he seems so sweet 🥹 ❤
roo says hi🥰🥰 i love you so much
So proud of you bestie🫶🏼 also one direction slays!!!
FR
LOVE YOU!! ❤️❤️
I LOVE YOU!!!❤️
Day 8 for me on Lexapro. Last two days I've FINALLY got more than 5 or less hours of sleep. I really hope I start to feel better here soon. I'm excited to feel human again.
Broke my heart when you said you are lonely.
We love uuuu!!!
I just started taking ADs so it is perfect timing to see how others manage the first and second week:) we can do it
we got this!👏🏻
i take zoloft and had really horrible side effects at first, (i fainted in class), but after a couple weeks, the side effects went away. now i’ve been taking it for a few months and it has really improved my anxiety and depression a ton. it’s really hard at first, but it was worth it in the end for me!
❤️❤️so happy for you
I’m so happy to hear this im on day 3 of taking it i feel super anxious rn for no reason 😭
LOVE YOU VANESSA
I LOVE YOU ELIZA
Awesome
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i am going through the same exact situation.
Thank you for this, im on my second day of zoloft and i've been feeling so tired and dizzy! i thought it was placebo and that i cant possibly feel the side effect this early on.
How are you going now? I'm on day 8
I have pmdd & they gave me this oh my good I couldn’t eat and I was like a zombie & my stomach was hurting , i felt crazy .
I used to be like you high functional depression but now it’s quite deep depression right on the holiday season I can’t leave my be spent all day in bed but I got out of the house at 16:00 at least
4:40 I feel your pain ❤😢
This was useful to see cause I have been prescribed antidepressants by my doctor (obviously) for my anxiety and I am super scared of taking them cause I have a fear of sickness and they said they can cause stomach aches and then I get anxiety and it spirals I still don’t know what I’m going to do and my parents really want me to take them
BTW I hyped myself up and took one I was so scared but I already feel better
Im on my first week on a new antidepressant…and I can’t get out of bed cried all day too
I am on Lexapro and honestly I'm still depressed I'm still anxious it's been 6 months so I'm also taking prozac
I wish we could talk…i already feel like you’re this friend ive come to make somehow…and it’s just sad seeing you like this…ofcourse you’re not obligated and don’t let my comment stop you from sharing the way you do…lot’s of people feel they could relate to you and they could also get help like you are getting and still strive for a better life and not totally give up the hope you so strongly show here…ive had my own share of “lyf” to deal with these past few weeks…months…and if we could ever talk pls let me know…i hope you’re getting all the help you need which im sure you are…and i wish i could help in some way through my input of what I’ve learnt about life and its ways…
what i’ve learned is there is a very big difference when it comes to feeling depressed/anxious and being clinically depressed/anxious. what i thought would help often in forms of “self care” were just never enough for me & all the tips in the world couldn’t change a chemical imbalance in my brain❤️
@@VanessaNagoya I’m glad you’re aware enough to do what your body requires of you💜
You should try taking vitamin D3 vitamins they help so much with depression it’s wild
💯 i wish doctors would address the route cause instead of prescribing pills straight away💊
I don't get how you switched meds so early. I thought you had to at least give them a few weeks to kick in. they won't work unless you take them for like a month. how can you switch after a few days if they didn't Get a chance to work
Please watch Dr Bergs videos on depression and antidepressants. You could have vitamin deficiencies or other hormonal issues that can be fixed without anti depressants.
❤❤❤
u make social media good again
i love you landon:,)
Are you ok now? Feeling happy?
Wow….hang in there and let us know how you’re doing.
I can tell she is not doing good. Losing viewers because she is aging out. She is way behind in school because she dropped out. Thought this was a good path because she was getting 250k views now shes raking in 2k views. My suggestion go back to school and stay off the medicinal antidepressants.
I slept almost all day for the first 3/4 days lol😂
iloveyou
i love you
Brb starting a cult called protect Vanessa at all costs
🥹🥹🥹i love you
im watching this because in a week I go on antidepressants :) im a bit scared :/
girl how are uuuuu
damn this generation is full of pansies. if you are feeling depressed just tell yourself that its first world problems and move on. just do it. drugs will not end well, i've known some people who had side effects and suicided. keep things natural, work out, meditate instead. be constructive not destructive. Drugs mask the problem, you need to find the root cause.
labeling it as first world problems… if it was as simple as that, we wouldn’t feel the need to reach out to intimidating people now would we. anyone who has a clue about how the human psyche works would know it doesn't work like that. i cannot empathize with the sheer ignorance it takes for some people to not be at least a little empathetic over a situation they’ve never personally dealt with. idk. maybe that’s just me as i’m an empath, feel things deeply, am sensitive, whatever.. now i’m not a fan of prescription drugs myself in fact, i stopped taking my antidepressants suddenly on my own accord out of subconscious rebellion plus i forgot cuz of another root problem, adhd. luckily i did not experience noticeable side effects. if they work for some, that’s great! no need to judge. meds are meant to aid, not to be depended on of course. we’re all just trying to figure out how we function really. next time, try to feel others pain while they’re on their journey even if you don’t understand and not be so damn contrarian so it could at least help lessen the burden. this is real stuff as you know with the real people that you mentioned. maybe this is your way of grieving and if so, keep it to yourself will ya? or write it down! journal! that’s a much better option than making this type of comment public. at least in the other forms you can gain something from it, like personal insight and reflection. Just some food for thought.
@@emclouds My friend committed suicide because of meds. Ive dabbled in drugs. I tell you from experience it feels crap to not be in control and there are about 10 side effects for that one cure. You don't know me, Ive been very depressed and i'm a very empathetic person. I'm a bit of a detective and know why shes feeling like crap. I can put myself in her shoes. My comments may be harsh but its the truth. Started homeschooling in HS in a rush to go nowhere. I commented on how she will miss high school and stop rushing to grow up. Guess what, she went back to hs because she got bored at home. She thought she could make it as a youtube content creator but her views keep dwindling. Her subs are now in college with no time to watch, content is just depressing or not interesting. Viewers watch to be uplifted not to be dragged down with depressing videos. Now shes depressed because she is behind in school while her friends are a year or two ahead. Sounds about right? Best path forward is to quit youtube, go back to school, and stop the meds. Or option 2, find a way to revive her channel also stop the meds. Judging by the way Vanessa is it best to go with option 1. She doesn't have what it takes. Also " labeling it as first world problems… if it was as simple as that". It is as simple as that, just trick your mind. And yes this is a first world problem, other countries people are fighting to survive war or starvation. "reach out to intimidating people now would we".. Intimidate? It is based advice! You cant function without narcotics and your giving advice? Its like the blind leading the blind. What exactly do antidepressants do?
It's thought that antidepressants work by increasing neurotransmitters. These are chemicals in the brain like serotonin and noradrenaline. They can improve mood and emotion, although this process isn't fully understood. Increasing levels of neurotransmitters can also disrupt pain signals sent by nerves. Drugs used for mental health problems sometimes cause irreversible brain alterations, such as tardive dyskinesia caused by antipsychotics. The brain is a delicate organ; it may not take much to permanently re-set its structure or function.Your essentially walking through life doped up , causing irreparable damage and never addressing the root cause. One day you might just blow up and lose it.
Bro slow down, shhhhhhhh OCD is crap, you need to lower your frequency 🙏❤️ hope you find peace.
Antidepressants caused me permanent damages
what damage you got
Could you please share your experience
you are just lying. Antidepressant are proved to be safe and can not cause any permanent damage. They can cause side-effects though
As always, thank you for being so honest and vulnerable with us Vanessa! I’m thankful you’re feeling so much better. 🤍
P.S 1d’s music will always come through
❤️❤️i love you so much and yes it’s made of magic fr
i love that you’re so open about this and i’m glad to know i’m not the only one on this journey definitely feeling a lot better and less alone in it 🤍
❤❤❤we’re here for you
