    Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with my mental health since 5TH GRADE. I’m currently in 11th, and the struggle continues. Unfortunately, mental health is something that isn’t really discussed or taken seriously within the black community. So hearing someone OPENLY discuss what they’re dealing with and how they’re overcoming it is truly admirable. This video alone was extremely helpful, motivational, and inspiring. ❤️❤️ Again, THANK U!

  • @katrinaaa9086

    idk if this could help you even more and i hope i’m not stepping boundaries but i’ve gone through very similar battles like anxiety, depression etc which really peeked in 2020. and i think you’re very brave for telling you story because it takes a lot of courage. what really helped me a lot was turning to my lord and savior jesus christ. and that’s coming from someone who was never really religious, but once i gave him a genuine try, started reading the bible and praying, doing research on him, and started building a close relationship with him, he really helped deliver me from all of that now i’m the happiest i’ve been in a while. I’m finally hopeful for the future and what’s to come next, i’m motivated, and joyful, now after being in a dark sunken place for a little over 2 years . I really encourage you to do the same, research jesus, pray, read the beginners bible, but ofc i’m not forcing you to. I see you’re doing better now and im so happy for you, seriously. I just saw first hand how he’s changed my life for the better and is still working on me because im not gonna sit here and act like im 100% better i still have good and bad days because im human, but i just want to see others just as happy as me or happier, while giving their life to christ. i hope you don’t take this the wrong way. 💖

    thank you for making this video. As someone who literally yesterday, after years of struggling just got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder hearing you talk about what you went through, recognizing that you needed help, and wanting that help for yourself has touched me tremendously. As a fellow POC, the stigmatization around mental health in soceity and that I have personal experienced definitely caused for me to disregards my symptoms and needs for the sake of appeasing others and making it seem like "it's not that bad."
    Thank you

    This video has made so many things clear to me mainly about how you felt when you were school because I felt the same way and didn’t do well my first semester of college . I always wondered if there was something wrong with me or if I was just being dramatic but lately I have realized that I just need help because of things that happened during 2020 and throughout my childhood. I always felt like I had the world on my shoulders and it was more than overwhelming but thank you Aaliyah for telling me there are ways to be a better me❤️
