Some of the negative comments that formulated in my mind while i was working on this video:
"Cringe"
"Oh my god, she really made psychotherapy her entire personality"
"Whoa, too pretentious for just a regular q and a are we?"
"Your videos aren't "film""
*any critique of how i'm portraying my OWN struggles with mental health*
You are amazing Mo Mo! Always be you and express your self! Xx 💕
Fuckkk all of those comments! You're Amazingggg! You should be proud of your self! You are soo soooooo much more then just some stupid comments
Your videos ARE films, Momo. You put so much work into them, they go beyond just regular videos
Hi, Momo you are amazing! The fact that you have the courage to talk about yourself and how you are feeling is so empowering! I wish you all the best things and hope that you begin to find yourself more. ❤❤❤
Anyone who has an issue with not conforming to a "regular" q and a when you have made it super clear you've been struggling to get to where you are can disrespectfully sit on a cactus.
This video is extremely poignant and real.
And it is from the heart.
That's worth 10x any negative comment🌌💫
This is such a beautiful and refreshing kind of video to see. I know you know that I relate to a lot of the stuff you've been dealing with, and the things you've been learning have been so helpful to me too, and I'm sure that are so many people watching this right now who don't have the privilege of being your friend and getting your advice straight from your mouth, so I'm really glad you shared all this, even though it's fucking scary and there will, I'm sure, be people who don't appreciate your bravery and your vulnerability. Thank you for offering it anyway.
I don't even know how to thank you for being so vulnerable and honest like this. You're not alone Momo, and you don't need to pretend to be happy all the time. All you need to do is keep falling in love with yourself, and keep feeding your beautiful soul. We're just grateful to come along on whatever parts of the journey you choose to share💖💖💖
"im sorry for not being perfectly normal." girl you aint got nothing to apologize for.
In the words of Professor Elemental - Nobody’s Normal. We all have our quirks, obsessions, vulnerabilities, fears and funny sides.
What makes you so unique, fun and creative is how you walk past being normal.
Hey, thanks for being vulnerable. This resonated and I’m sending you a big hug. 🥰
I'm glad you're feeling better
I just want to say that you are so talented with film production. I don't know the exact wording, but you suceeded in making this video dramatic and emotional without feeling tryhard or deepfake. It feels genuine, and like a movie. You made just an update video feel like a film and I'm impressed and enticed. Keep doing film
Thank you. That’s the vibe I got for with all my videos really. Genuine, yet like a movie. I’m happy I achieve that.
@@MoMoOBrien Of course. I love your content, thank you for all of the effort you put into it. It shows.
"You need love to grow, but you don't need to grow to deserve love." This hit hard, and it actually made me cry because it's been how I've been feeling for FOREVER. Thank you. Thank you so much for this.
i’m crying with you- this is amazing to see momo. i’m so proud of you. it’s amazing.
you have always inspired me and i just hope you know that your vulnerability will make it easier for people who watch you. this makes me feel better.
and while that not it’s reason i can’t help but be thankful. seeing people learning to love themself, learning to be okay in their unhappiness and everything is beautiful. this video is beautiful. thank you.
I reached a breaking point today. I had a complete breakdown over everything happening in my life, and then I clicked on your video because you always make me happy. I didn't know what I was signing up for, nor did I know how much I needed to hear this. Thank you, Mo Mo ❤️
This is such an important video
Thank you for being vulnerable with us. This was so beautiful. I cried because of how much I relate.
All I have to say is yes
It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who actually likes crying. It helps me work through my emotions and really gets stuff out, and it helps me connect with myself too.
Just remember that you dont have to be perfect or act perfect or anything like that, we all love your content! And we will all be here no matter how long a break you need to take. Times are super hard right now, take your time, we will be here when you come back (and we will love whatever content you come back with!) 💖💖
One thing that stood out to me is the part about crying. Crying really is such a cathartic act. Sometimes I will sit in my room with tissues and a water bottle, dim the lights, and watch youtube videos that are emotional, like dog rescues. Nothing has to be wrong to just want a good cry.
Oh my gosh, I can relate to this video so much and this is exactly what I needed today. I have a small channel but I find myself sometimes getting crippling internet anxiety. I'm getting a lot better at it, but I would often find myself terrified of saying my opinion, coming off as cringe or having my words misinterpreted. I'd foreshadow every possible way people could react to me and it really messed with my mental health. A quote I really like, that is often attributed to Lao Tzu is "Care about what other people think, and you'll always be their prisoner" When I started thinking about it in that way, it motivated me to try to be more true to myself, because I will be no one's prisoner.
One of the fundamental things that I have learned over the years is that you can't please everyone. Trying to do so is an exercise in futility and it will leave you exhausted and dissatisfied. Knowing this is one thing accepting it is another!! Not caring about what others think however is the other end of the extreme. We are social creatures and receiving acknowledgement and appreciation for our thoughts and deeds is part of what makes life enjoyable. Learning to manage your own expectations and the expectations of those people you value however is where things get difficult. Part of the success of our species is to constantly push ourselves. It seems the "most successful" people struggle the most with this desire to constantly surpass others and their own expectations till they literally burn-out:
Your skin isn't paper, don't cut it
Your neck isn't a coat, don't hang it
Your body isn't a book, don't judge it
Your life isn't a movie, don't end it
Your heart isn't a door, don't lock it
--unknown internet scribble--
Remember to always accept and care for yourself no matter what you come against
Fun fact! Knees clicking when you go upstairs is just LEGO pieces you lost as a kid that your body found and wants to play with. It's totally chill and actually good.
Can't wait! Always fantastic to see your stuff Momo! You are one of the few youtubers who I can watch the same videos of 100 times and not get bored. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch this for another 25 hours, but it's a bright spot to look forward to :D
Omg. Same. I can watch her videos so many times in a row that I lose count but it never gets old or boring.
I'm so excited for the new video.
All i know is that when i was being 'cringe' is when i felt most happy about myself
Just be your own glorious self, your lovely personality still shine through your depression. And I love your hair!
I've been going through a very similar journey, and finding a healing place is so fucking hard. But it's really nice to know someone who I can relate to frequently (and share a name with!) is going through it too. Somedays it really does feel like I won't ever see the end of this dark tunnel, or whatever metaphor works for anyone else, but I keep telling myself that as long as I have the hope to find it, I'm still ok.
Momo we all love you and your content so much! I can’t explain this enough but being authentic and being the true you is what makes this content so amazing!! Thank you so much for being so open and personal in this video! Keep doing all the things that make you happy! Keep taking care of yourself! Keep being *YOU*!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I remember finding your first videos when I was in college. I had.. an attempt under my belt and was sent home to recover. I didn’t know who I was, i didn’t know what happiness was but your LARP videos and kindness brought me to watch your videos over and over again. I’m so proud of you, and I’m so happy you found a therapist. This video made me cry happy and sad tears. I’m sorry for the place you are in, but am so happy you’ve been working on it. I remember my darkest times and you were there. I am so thankful for you 💖
Not a new upload from my go to comfort channel!😍
Im sitting here crying and laughing at the same time saying 'Shes like meeeee!!!!!'
Momo you helped me get out of my dark place and figure out what kind of person I am. I wish you every happiness
One of my favorite quotes that I've seen floating around, and I don't know where I originally saw I, but "It's okay to not be okay."
Don't even remember subscribing but I set a reminder because I must have subscribed for a reason
You wont regret it : )
Wow, this hit a spot with me
I always fear when my favorite CZcamsrs try and conform to their fans wants. YOU are one of my favorite people to watch and it makes my heart to see you in pain, tryingnto make us all happy when you should focus on what makes you happy! I hope going forward you continue to learn to love yourself more and remember to go easy on yourself. Treat your feelings and emotions kindly.
I recently learned that I might have Depersonalization derealization disorder, and this makes me feel like im not alone, seeing other people in the comments talk about it as well makes me less scared. This video really means a lot to me, thank you MoMo for talking about this stuff.
Hi hi momo! I'm so happy to see you posting again! I am literally in love with realms apart and I just simply cannot wait for the story to continue. Doddle is a smol bean and I love her soooo much. Your character actually made me inspired to try and join my own campaign, and I am so happy to finally do it. You are absolutely amazing and I hope you are doing well!
This struck so many chords as a fellow creative with a lot of emotions. Thank you for putting so many feelings into words and giving me some new positive affirmations to remember when I'm feeling some type of way about my own creative journey
Oh Momo~ Sending all the comforting hugs! You're the sweetest.
Ahh, the part about running through every negative comment people could say about in your head, I can't relate more. It's so hard becoming your own worst bully in an attempt to "prepare" for inevitable negativity. Thank you for putting out such a thoughtful and vulnerable video, Momo. I can't wait to see what you have for us in the future.
Nothing short of brilliant and needed. Thank for being this open, thank you for being this vulnerable and together, ladies... gentlemen... we are surviving and that is a hell start tongetting through this.
Candid video diaries stating that it’s okay to not be okay are the most personally healing diary entries we can make for ourselves
From what I can tell from your videos and podcast is that you are strong, creative, sweet but mishavious, elegant in the most humbling ways and so much more that we have yet to learn. I am so sorry you are going through a tough time but I hope you hang in and find the help you deserve. Can’t wait for your next video no matter what it may be 🥰
I'm so happy that you feel comfortable enough to open up about this, about your struggles. I hope moving forward you can continue to grow into being happier with your life, and that you get the diagnostic/medical care and accommodations you have always deserved.
We love you, Momo. 💕🍀
I missed you. I’m happy to see you again. Your channel makes me happy.
That’s it, that’s the comment.
I look forward to the day when smiling is as natural to you again as crying, and I will gladly wait until every day and step needed is taken to get there.
3 years later and this video still makes me cry every single time
I am so glad you put this video out there! During these hard times re-watching your past videos has made me feel better in moments of struggle. I've even been inspired to decorate my room as a magical forest to lift my spirits 😁. Being away from family and friends for so long has effected everyone differently, and everyone needs their own personalized healthy coping mechanisms. Understanding and bettering yourself is such a great way to do this. A round of applauses for our lovely Miss Mo Mo! As people who make a living through the internet, and the tangled web that it is, it can be hard to stay positive but I hope you, and all your viewers, and find so joy in your future projects. Many hugs and wishes of good physical and mental health.❤️
Well done! Best quote: "I love playing music, even though I'm not good at it." That's how every good musician started. In everything you do: the love for doing it is ALWAYS more important than being good at it. I try to teach my daughters that and I can only hope I will succeed.
It's very special to me to see someone else go through a mentally difficult time with dissociation in this pandemic, my personal companion is depersonalisations bigger brother derealisation, thank you so much for sharing and I knew we can get through this
I’m glad your not “normal” you are perfectly imperfect. Think about a person you love, you notice their “imperfections”, their freckles, the goofy way they laugh, their odd little quirks. And THAT is what you love, it’s what makes them unique and it’s what you notice the longer you know them. It what makes them special. Never apologise for not being normal xx
In my last few years, I have had to learn that 'normal' is a social construct. Truly normal is unique to each of us, which is the most backwards statement ever. But nobody is normal, though some people pretend to be. 🙃
I love your content and your channel because it is so uniquely you, and please don't listen to the voices that would steal your joy. My favorite video to date is the Bicolline haul, because your joy and excitement and wonder is infectious, even through the screen. Keep doing the things that make you happy, because it makes others (like me) happy too! 💖
Mo Mo! As someone who has experienced severe (diagnosed) anxiety since early teenage years, i'd like to say THANK YOU for putting the thoughts and emotions into a visual story of expression to give your viewers a small insight into getting through each day and personal growth. Above all else, please remember that with every 1 bad comment you may receive, your quirkiness and "weirdness" is celebrated by 10,000 others made by people who appreciate your beautiful essence from around the world. You are not alone
thank you for being so open about your mental health, as a younger person i really appreciate the vulnerability it’s inspiring
I remember being a big fan of you I even made a letter in LARP style with a drawing of you if I ever met you. But I tough it would be not possible because I was too depressed to go out of my house. But now I know I relate to you and I don’t think I will ever meet you but you will always have a space in my heart
This made me cry so hard.. Youre such a sweetheart.. You have done so much for people in the "weird" community.. Thank you for taking time to find yourself.. Thats the most important thing...
Momo you made me cry so much. I love you, wonderful human.
We love you Momo! We are here for you always. I truely hope you get the happy ending you deserve in life. Also omg love you singing the them song of "Anne With An E" 💜
My dude, I'm a meathead security guard from Nova Scotia who started following you because of your hilarious cats breakdown. But I love your content. And this level of vulnerability is hugely inspiring. It makes ME want to take some of the same steps you have - like journalling. I'm rooting for you. You're a good egg.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable and true to yourself and share it with the world. May you continue to be a light to the world!
If it helps- your videos have got me through my anxiety and depression. Whenever I watch your amazing creativity and the fun you have with your friends creating these beautiful stories it makes me happier inside and can pick me up from a bad day. As long as it makes you happy please keep making the wonderful content you’re making.
Oh, my dear Mo Mo, I'm so sorry to hear you've been drowning in heaviness. All my love to you, you're going to be alright.
Awkwardness happens, but I have learned it is normal. You are very brave for expressing yourself in such a public forum like this. You have a multitude of talents and should be able to take satisfaction in those accomplishments. Thank you for sharing.
I've gone through something really similar myself and I'm so, idk comforted? by seeing someone I admire be so open and honest about going through the same things. I know you're not really "better" so to speak, but genuinely, thank you for posting this. I've missed you, and I hope to see you around more in whatever capacity you're comfortable!
Now I am ALSO crying because you deserve health and peace and all that comes with it. You were my inspiration to start larping with that very first "what is larp" video, and so I have to thank you for inspiring me to start my journey into finding my own peace and freedom in this world. Take care- you're worth it.
There's a bunch of thoughts in my head right now, but I can't seem to form them in a coherent sentence. I'll just say this: thank you. Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for the vulnerability, the honesty and you opening up. You didn't need to, yet you did. I think it's a reminder that everyone in the end is just human, with their fears and troubles and doubts, and that being a CZcamsr with wonderful, happy videos, which are beautifully shot and bring smiles and happiness to the people who watch them, doesn't mean that that person in those videos is always happy. And it's perfectly fine to not always be the happiest version of yourself.
Yet I wish you all the courage and hope that's needed to bring some of that happiness back to yourself, enough to generally feel (a bit) better.
YES THE PRODUCTION VALUE 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love the sincerity and genuine person here. It's amazing to see someone with the bravery to be authentic and real. A lot of this really spoke to me. Thanks Momo. Something I've been thinking to help me through this is: The world will always play the song that it is meant to play. If things seem difficult or too much to handle, maybe you just need to change how to dance to that tune. Great video!
You’re not perfectly normal, you’re perfectly human. We love you Momo, take care of yourself- we’ll still be here!
Thank you so much. I'm sitting here listening to this in my car as I drive home just openly crying. I didn't realize that that's what I want to do that's what I need to do I've been seeing a psychologist too for those same issues but this video is helped a lot just like a lot of yours. I understand it's hard but keep being amazing.
When I was in a really dark place, this channel was one of the only things that made me feel happy and helped me start to like myself. Your channel did so much to help me feel less like a weirdo and realize that it's ok to dress how I want to and stop hiding my interests. I'm so sorry you are struggling; I hope you can feel better soon!
I just want to let you know that I am very proud of you! Posting this video, even when you were worried to post it, shows a lot of strength and courage! And I for one think it’s a beautiful video. You are a wonderful person Momo and I wish the best for you! 💖
Man, that inner critic is truly draining. I'll sit in a room for hours wanting to create something, and then I watch myself watching myself and I get frozen in that time. I know it's there to protect me, but boy does it take a lot out of me. Makes me forget who "me" is. Thank you so so much for, as always, making beautifully complex and messy and endearing content. And thank you for taking time to care about yourself. It's so wonderful to see, and it gives me hope. I hope you continue to choose loving you, over and over every day.
Honestly is refreshing to see that someone who I adore can still have feelings other than happy, it makes me fell more normal. Thank you Momo. ❤️
I love watching all your videos in order, from beginning (Zombies Run) to end and seeing how much you’ve grown and blossomed over the years. You are loved, Momo. You bring so much joy and light into the world no matter what you do, but I think you do this even more so when you show yourself as authentically as you just did. This was truly a beautiful video.
aa yay new momo obrien video !!!
Mo Mo O'Brien is my favorite youtuber, her videos have gotten me through so much. I hope she finds happiness, and doesn't underestimate the difference she has made in the world.
Thank you so much for doing this and putting this out there, the raw honesty is helpful for those of us also suffering from various mental illnesses. I also love the hope that comes out of this video, the joy that you're finding in yourself and your content. I think you're wonderful and I love realms apart and the incredible amount of work you all put into it. Thank you for what you put out into the world - you're pretty freakin' cool :D
I'm crying, but GOD it feels so good just to know that you were confident enough to post this video. I know so many people that are going through a rough time... I hope that you're all going to get a bit happier every single day. And I hope that some of my friends will start to follow your exemple and care for their mental health. You've come so far already, and a journey full of surprises and discoveries is ahead of you. Bon voyage!
Momo you are so incredible!! I really appreciate you being so open about how you’re feeling, it reminds me that I am a human being, and not just an awful anomaly or mess-up for being the way I am. Thank you so so so much. Sending you all the love in the galaxy
Even though I am not into costumes, LARPs and the like, your enthusiasm for them is infectious. Depression is rough, pandemic depression is extra rough, and you are doing a good job despite it all.
Love that you play DnD!! Its a great way to let out all the creativity! (atleast for me :P )
Wow!! Respect and love! Take as much time you need.. We'll be here. Man, the joy you give us just by being you! Even this video, thank you! That said, My heart broke watching this! Please take care, a big big hug from the Netherlands!
This is going to be a therapy video, this video will bring me immense comfort. Thank you for your vulnerability it genuinely means so much too me. Thank you
Same ❤
I just got diagnosed with a fluctuating mood disorder. Meaning that I have social anxiety and depression but it’s constantly fluctuating and it’s super exhausting. So it was very comforting to see a CZcamsr that’s always been so comforting struggle with mental health. Love you momo
I'm so proud of you Mo Mo!!!
This is something that's becoming a heckuva lot more normal. So be you. Be the entirely raw, sometimes emotional, sometimes bubbly self! You are wonderful, creative, and inspiring. Much love Momo. And here's to all of us slowly figuring out what makes us tick... 'better'. 💜
Genuinely you’ve inspired me so much. I’m actually going to be studying film soon. The way you’ve portrayed your mental health journey so far has mirrored my own right now.
Thank you Mo Mo. Thank you for making this video, it took a lot of courage and it’s really refreshing to see someone on social media just being real and honest with their subs in a time where the world of social media demands us to be perfect and fake all the time. I hope to see more big CZcamsrs learn from this and follow in your footsteps of honesty and courage.
Thank you for posting this. It couldn't have been easy. It resonates with me, and I'm sure with many others. I'm glad you're taking steps to love yourself and get past negative things idiots say.
The Algorithm brought me to your channel a couple of weeks ago and the only reason I haven't binged your entire library is that the grace and enthusiasm with which you present your characters deserves more attention than I can give in one sitting. In more than 10 years I have never commented on a video and I am breaking my silence to say this - thank you for sharing. To expose your demons in this forum takes real courage and strength. Don't mind the trolls, and I for one can't wait to see what you share next.
so excited for the premiere of this video! absolutely love your vids momo :D
regardless of what happens with the channel, I want to thank you for being such a source of joy. I hope that you will continue to find those things in your life, even if they just make it better for the moment.
"There's no such thing as normal, everybody's weird"
- Professor Elemental
All the best folk are weird in some way - it's our differences that make us shine.
Best of luck on your travels both inside your head and heart, and outside in the world, Momo. Sending hugs to go with you.
"Everyone is weird, only some of us have the confidence to show it"
-someone idk who
I have to say I totally understand how people first want to harness negative emotions to press them down and when you do want to step up and release them in a creative way then when that creativity fails to meet some kind of standard then it feels like you're failing twice. You are not failing. I can't remember which writer pointed this out but there is no use in labeling things positive and negative or healthy and unhealthy. Instead there's just curiosity and shame. You, Mo Mo, are a curious person, and I hope this upward swing continues
This took a lot of strength, a lot of courage and I'm very proud of you!
I also struggle like this and finally was put on meds about a year or so ago. No one really talks about how HORRIBLE it is. The sleepless nights, the sleep-FULL days, feeling numb to everything. I'm glad you are getting help and working through this, it's a tough journey and I'm proud of you!
I clicked as soon as I saw the video. So exited for the premiere
I'm happy to hear your found a road to more happiness.
Mo Mo I have really missed you. I'm glad that you are coming back and doing what you love and being vulnerable with your feelings. I look forward to seeing more videos from you again! Good luck in your journey :)
all of this really put into words how i’m feeling that i haven’t really been working on. i never was able to form the words how i actually feel. so thank you for that
You were the one who taught me how to love myself and not think i’m “wierd” or nerdy for liking the stuff i like. I’m so thankful for your art and your content. This video was so vulnerable and it really struck a chord with me. Thankyou so much for sharing
Thank you. So much. Seeing you real with yourself makes me hopeful for me..
And thank for being you. You're amazing and honestly just seeing your videos whatever those videos are with a just you saying two sentences to the camera on Tik Tok or full-on videos on CZcams seriously makes me feel better about pretty much everything so thank you for being you and I hope being you will become easier with time❤
