  • i’m actually pretty nervous to post this online because this week’s video is VERY different from my usual ones. it isn’t a travel vlog of where i’ve been lately or a food review showing you a new place i’ve found in town or a 20 minute visual diary of my friends and i having a jolly good time. this video is just going to be me in my bedroom sitting down and having an honest chat about how i’ve been feeling recently. it felt really good to say things out loud and in the open. i always urge those around me to talk about how they’re feeling and how a problem shared is a problem halved but i’ve let my own feelings bottle up (which makes things worse because it all bubbles away inside and it isn’t very healthy) because i didn’t want to burden others with my problems or bring the tone down after not seeing friends for weeks whilst i’ve been away with work. so this felt good. reaaaal good.
    I filmed this last week after coming back from being interviewed for an Instagram bio for this cool project (and filmed the intro today as i felt it needed more context than just me being all WAHHH IDVJSDJVOSDJVSDV on camera ahahah). this was the result.
    also, sorry about the messy bedroom. i came straight home to record this and i didn’t stop to jazz up the background. woops.

    Hi Shu! It is so brave of you to share your feelings. Especially talking about mental conditions which can be stigmatized. I was diagnosed with OCD (intrusive uncontrollable thoughts) this year and was in a very dark place, but I persevered, got therapy and I recovered. One of the best thing that helped me was to be open about it and talk about it with my friends. And even though It was a very tough thing to go through, I continually persevered, and proved myself my fears were unfounded, and I feel alot stronger today in a way, and I wouldn't be myself without that experience.

    • @dejashu
      @dejashu  Před 5 lety +1

      Hi Jimmy! First of all, thank you for sharing this part of your journey with me and I’m happy to hear that you’re feeling stronger and have gotten help with the condition. As you said, mental health is still stigmatised and the more we keep the conversation going, the more it’ll hopefully educate our society to sit up, take notice and help those in need. I’m so happy you were able to talk through it with your friends and I’m sending over a big big hug to you. Proud of you and your strength! 💛

    • @jimmyleonardsson
      @jimmyleonardsson Před 5 lety

      @@dejashu Thank you so much for the kind words. I noticed that many friends and colleagues had no idea or had prejudice about the condition (including myself), just thought I was a tidy person who likes symmetry and cleanliness but it couldn't be further from the truth. That's why it is so important to not feel ashamed and hide, but rather own it, open up and be truthful to your self. The road to recovery is long and hard, full with challenges to overcome but also rewarding in many different ways. I'm so glad that you are in a better place now. You have had difficult experiences, had to overcome alot of fears and challenges, but they shaped and molded you into who you are today and you have acquired wisdom and strength! 💙 Be proud and thankful to yourself. Hugs from Sweden! 🤗

  • @HeadlessChickenTO
    @HeadlessChickenTO Před 5 lety

    It's nice to be able to let it out even if its only in front of a camera. You can get a lot of different perspectives if you post it up. It does surprisingly help take a lot off your chest in ways even talking to friends and family face to face.
    However speaking from experience, I wouldn't expect old troubles to disappear completely...it scars you almost for life and those emotions do pop up every so often, whatever the trigger. You don't seem to allow it to consume you, and you are stronger for it. Just vent, breathe, handle it, and continue on. Forward is really the only path...

    • @dejashu
      @dejashu  Před 5 lety

      True! It helps to make sense of things when you say things out loud to yourself over bottling it up in your head.
      I don’t expect it to disappear completely and fully aware that the voice never truly goes away. However, I’d much prefer to think with a positive mindset, acknowledge the moments where I don’t feel as strong and learn from it to grow as a person. I’d be happier for it than to constantly live in fear and always be dreading that it’ll take over me again.
