Heyyy! Kaitlyn
Pls come back it’s been more than 6 months…
I hope ur doing well 🤞🏻
Your come back soon ..
IT'S OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK!!! I've taken a semester off a few times to take a breather. I've been trying to finish a bachelor's degree on/off for the past 8 years since I graduated high school in 2013. Don't let people try to guilt you into feeling bad for taking a break. Take as many break(s) as you need because school will always be there ready for you when you feel you can return! :)
Please never apologize to us for not posting regularly!!!
Proud of you for making the hard choice that is best for you, and excited for what comes next. 💕✨ Missed you and glad you’re okay!!
Thank you so much!!
honestly, i came across your channel like a few weeks ago when i was rEally really struggling with online university and my self esteem (which lOrdy nothing has changed) and i was desperately searching youtube for someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about and could talk me down, and you were that for me! i’m so glad you’re taking care of yourself and i’m so glad i found you :’)
Wow this is one of the reasons this channel means so much to me. I believe in you and appreciate your support. Thank you for making me smile and welcome to the family❤️
In Fall of 2018, I dropped all my classes and had to take a mental health break. I'm proud of you for making the decision that is best for you. You'll get back stronger than ever!
I have a tendency to use work or my studies as a way to avoid my health, and stresses at home. It was tough having to take a leave of absence last year after a car accident had occurred on the VERY last week of my studies. I just feel miserable and lazy if I don't have commitments or anything- even going to the gym on on a weekly-basis wasn't enough.
Thank you for sharing! I completely understand where you are coming from after last semester and have been struggling myself. Proud of you for taking a break and taking care of yourself.
Thank you so much for being who you are, and being transparent about everything. You are one of the best youtubers out there and I'm glad that I found someone inspiring! Mental health is important and it's hard to open up and not feel alone for a lot of us students. I'm happy for you and you should feel really really proud of doing what's best for you! I hope you feel better in time and can't wait to have you back!
Praying for you! Take care girl! Hope you get better!💛💛
Thank you for being transparent and open about how things have been for you. Balance is everything, especially when things get hectic. So awesome of you for taking this break when you know it’s needed! Much love 💕
So good to hear from you! Missed your videos. Glad to hear your are taking time for yourself!
Thank you so much!
you are so loved and totally understood! I've actually just come off of a 2 semester long medical leave I had no choice but to take so 1. I could fix my health which I ignored for so long that I just got violently ill and couldn't continue and 2. Get a grip on my mental health which had hit an all time low. I saw a professional, fixed issues with my meds and got on the right meds, and I got to do that on my own time and not based on an academic schedule and I wouldn't ever change my decision if I were to go back. Initially I felt so so bad about leaving school and the first month I blamed myself for a while but i have never been more grateful to my past self for letting me take the time to heal and come back stronger - and you WILL come back stronger girl - no matter how long that may be! School is going to be there for you when your mind and your body are healthy and ready
You’re not alone! Even though sounds wrong to say but I’m so glad to hear that someone else was facing the struggles I was this past semester. I also had a to drop a few classes and almost moved home while classes were still in session. I’m also taking the semester off in hopes that I can really improve my mental health and work while we wait out for coronavirus to phase away and classes to move back in person. I hope to never have a semester like this last one ever again. And I hope that this break will really help the both of us. We’ll make it❤️
Girl, I feel you- I had a rough patch in the beginning of semester. I struggled with motivation and I moved back home. Thank you for keeping it real on this channel!
This exact same thing is happening to me! Thank you for this video. You are not alone❤️
so good to see you again!! really appreciated what you said about priortizing yourself!
I'm so happy you're posting new content! After watching this update, I thought you would enjoy my newest obsession of crocheting as you take time for yourself. I've fallen in love with this hobby, it's very relaxing, and is a way to focus your energy towards a productive habit. I'm not sure if you've ever tried it, but there is a whole online community based around this craft. I'd love to see a video of you trying this too! Stay healthy my friend!
So proud of you for not only recognizing that you need a break, but also sharing it on such an open platform! Admitting to yourself that you need a break is scary and hard but it will be sooo much better for you in the long run. You're such a role model for students everywhere. Wishing you the best of luck during this process!
I’ve missed your videos, you always make me smile. hopefully you are okay and taking care of yourself (we are all rooting for you!) 💗
Thank you so much!💕💕💕
Kaitlyn this is really inspiring 💖 I'm sorry you've had such a hard time but I cannot tell you enough how much I admire your decision to put your health and well-being first. You are such a healthy role model for me, I really look up to you 🥺❤️
proud of you for taking steps to support yourself 💌 you are amazing kaitlyn
i did the same thing last year and people always asked me why im not in school. you channel is really relatable and helpful.:)
so excited for this video!
Really proud of and happy for you for taking care of yourself and making it a priority. I have been feeling that same, recovery has been difficult, friendships have been hard, and so many changes have occurred in my life. I actually really enjoy school and classes, but when I let it take over my life; it affects my mental and physical health so much (i.e. not eating, not sleeping, a lot of crying). So every time I feel like I took two steps forward, I take four back and it can be really hard. Sometimes I feel alone, but watching videos like this really helps me not spiral down that rough patch (as much). 💜
i missed your videos kaitlyn! you look so much better, and sound like you’re finally getting better and i’m proud of you!!! i hope that you keep getting better❤️
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
honestly so proud of u for taking the step back from school to focus on yourself and your health
Thank you so much
First of all tank keeping is BEAUTIFUL, I am so glad you are enjoying it ❤️ I started my first planted tank this year too! Secondly, I so hope this break is good for you, you are such a wonderful person and you deserve all of the health and time you need right now :)
Love the honestly. I’m glad you are focusing on your mental health :) school will always be there and taking off for you is important. You got this ❤️
i'm so happy and proud of you! you're so strong, kaitlyn!
i did the same thing. thank you so so much for this, i love you so much!🥺❤️
Your mental health and well-being ALWAYS comes first ❤️ Glad to hear you are taking steps towards becoming better in that aspect and doing things that make you happy ❤️❤️
it’s okaay Girl !! I am PROUD OF U , love you and we r with U 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤍🤍🤍
Every time you made Coffee W/Kaitlyn i feel so warm and i feel like I want to surround you rn to give you a hug or at least being close to you 💛💛 We are so proud of you sis xoxxoxo . Sending all my love and support ♥️
proud of you for taking care of yourself
I love you guys too!
I've loved your channel for quite a while now because of how real you keep it! I'm on a leave of absence from my studies due to my chronic illnesses. Seeing your college journey with mental illness, and how real you are, has been really refreshing for me. You make college seem more achievable for me. Hope your leave of absence goes well! If you do find yourself studying feel free to film but don't pressure yourself, your viewers will still be here when you're ready to get back into it :) Love your work de-stigmatising mental illness! ❤️
I related to this a lot, thank you for making this video. I’m proud of you! Wishing you well💕
Thank you! You too!
Take your time!!
I’m proud of you and your decision!
Kaitlyn you are one of my favourite youtubers! You just seem so genuine and everytime I see someone kind suffering from mental health problems it honestly breaks my heart. I had a very close friend of mine take her own life a few years ago in high school and since then I have been extremely up and down but am now finding my way out! I can only wish the same for you! I never ever comment on videos but you need to know that so many people love and support you! Im sure you already do know that but you can never be reminded enough! You just take however much time you need to focus on you! You only get one life and if anything it should be a happy one! Stay strong 💪🏼 Sending my love from England xx
I hope you’ll feel better soon 🤍 take care
Hope you’re doing well!! Missed you this semester ❤️
I am so proud of you for prioritizing yourself. I am sure it wasn’t an easy decision to make. I have been struggling keeping up with uni as well and neglecting myself in the process. I know what you are going through 🙏🏼
Staying sane and healthy is more important and better in the long run instead of working too much and getting burned out
finally a new video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 made my day!!!
So proud of you, I know it’s a hard choice, but you have to do what’s best for YOU. Love you girl 🧡
So proud of you!! Keep fighting 💪 💖
I feel you Kaitlyn,sending hugs🤗 the thing that made me interested and follow ur stories in your vlogs is that i too can relate to you especially with studies, routines, coffee and mental health. Sadly, i cant take leave like i wish because i have a full scholarship but i take remedies like not overwhelming myself with things i do and keep some time to relax and not stress out myself. Stay strong Kaith, will pray for u too🥰🙏
I came back to this video because I just withdrew from the spring semester. I’m going to get my mental health together and continue with my transfer in the summer. Praying for healing.
girl how many times do I have to tell you don’t apologize for prioritizing your mental health!! 💛💛💛
Hope you take care of yourself. Good luck
So proud of you!!!
Really encouraged by your college study posts. Hope your break is anazing
Hope you are doing okay, it’s been a 6 month minute! We know life happens and you have to prioritize and take a break👍🏾! But either way hope your doing alright!
Well done for being so brave and honest with yourself (and us) and please don't worry about taking a leave of absence! I took 6 months off and it didn't affect my grades at all, and when I got back everthing was so much better. Have a lovely christmas and we'd love to see more vlogs from you, whether study related or not! Stay in touch, we'll miss you too much otherwise!
Very proud of you!!
Kaitlyn i missed your videos sooo much. Honestly, your videos were keeping me motivated, they make me want to study and you are the only CZcamsr that makes me feel that way. I have discovered the comfort of digital note taking thanks to you! Lately i’ve been feeling like taking a break even though my exam week is super close. I was feeling super guilty about it untill you posted this video. I am so happy for you taking a break, also you showed me people can actually take a break, don’t have to be productive all the time. Thanks and wish you the best 💕💕
I too am taking a Leave of absence from
school this upcoming semester. me mental health was way too hard to try to push through while still seeing my grades plummet. it’s definitely was the right decision for me and i’m glad you felt like this was the right choice for you too! i hope it’s beneficial for you my love ❤️
I quit my job in may after a heartbreaking miscarriage in April that just fucked my mental health up, you gotta do what’s best for you. Proud that you’ve noticed what you needed and are working on bettering yourself ❤️❤️ good job babe
I came across your channel only a few days ago and I have been loving your videos (binge watched them during exam week- you've distracted me! ahahha). Even though I don't know you personally, I care about your state of health, your well being and I hope nothing but the best for you! Take care!
I really don’t think you have anything to apologize for. You’re living for your life and we are just along for the ride, you are an inspiration and an incredible person no matter what happens 💕💕
This video made me smile ! It’s been a while 🥺 💕
Aww I missed you all sm
So so proud of you, you have no idea!
Glad you are taking some time off
I also took a leave from university for a semester and it was the best choice. We gotta take care of ourselves. We’re always number 1❤️
You’ve made the best choice❤️❤️❤️
You are such an amazing person, never apologise for taking care of yourself. Take care.
I am so happy that you taking a break and prioritizing your mental health :)
missed you! hope you are doing fine and taking care of yourself
Thank you :)
i know this is a bit late, but i am so proud of you!! i am a semester behind at uc berkeley because i needed some time to focus on my own mental and physical well-being :) it was a hard choice, but necessary! no need to apologize or explain your absence! your worth is not measured by your productivity! :)
QURL i resonated so much when u said Mental health makes school feel like torture. I’ve had the same issue since I love studying but I get overwhelmed when I have a period of feeling down and then when I pick myself up I’m so behind and studying feels scary and impossible. Like I love learning but my mental health loves to set me back. BUT I’m proud of u for taking a step back and having a support system around u during this time bc I know making tht decision was tough for u. Also I just want to remind u tht I love ur platform. Literally not a lot of channels or people are open about their struggles/dealing with mental health during school. It’s hard but QURL I can’t wait for u to post more again BUT TAKE CARE OF URSELF FIRST! PLAY THT ANIMAL CROSSING! GO TO THE GYM BC U WANT TO AND U FEEL LIKE A BAD STRONG BISH AND DO WHAT MAKES U FEEL HAPPY. So essentially come back when ur ready cuz we’ll still be here ✌🏻👏❤️
So f*cking proud!!! Happy to hear from you, we don´t care if it is study content, we like any content! xx
You are so pretty!!!
During my sophomore/ junior year of college, I had an extreme decline of my mental health. I naturally am more depressed in the spring, but that entire year I was so mentally drained and depressed and anxious I VERY nearly completely dropped out. Taking the following semester off to just work and study abroad for a couple weeks (before coronavirus!) Helped me to refocus myself. I just graduated yesterday with nearly every semester on the dean's list and a full time job lined up. My point for this being, never feel guilty or bad for taking time for YOU. My parents were worried I wouldn't go back, and here we are 😄 wishing you a healing time off and sending you the BEST thoughts~!
Wow that is so inspiring. I am so proud of you for pushing through and taking time for yourself. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@kaitlynfilms and IM proud of you! It takes a lot to know where your limit is and stop before it. I know I'm a random internet stranger, but I've really enjoyed your content for this past year, and I'm so happy to see you putting yourself first!
Hey, Kaitlyn! I just want to say thank you for talking to all of us about what has been going on in your life. I love your new channel, but I definitely missed seeing your face every week! You make my days so much brighter, and honestly, I wish you the very best of luck for your mental health. I’ve been having some trouble too, and I think I’m getting better, but it is so nice to know that I am not alone. Have a wonderful day, and I hope to see you soon. ♥️🥰
Take care, it is okay to take a break!!
honestly, i feel the same way. i ended up transferring back to my hometown college because my former college wasn't for me and it became super toxic. I want to say I'm proud of you--mental health sucks, man, and i'm glad that you were able to come to this decision on your own.
hope you're doing well, miss you queen
You're soooo brave 💞 this semester has been shit. I made it because I took few classes and my professors were soft with us due to the situation. I know you'll get better, take your time 💖💕
wish you the best and definitely support your decisions :)
Thank you so much!
Kaitlyn, I just want to say I am so proud of your courage and clarity to make the decision to take a break from school to focus on your mental health. One's health is the most important thing in life, and I am just in awe of your strength and vulnerability. These past 9 months have not been easy for anyone, but I have hope there will be a brighter tomorrow. Sending you so much love and healing energy! Please know that we are all here for you
My room growing up was 8 by 8 and it was literally the worst. I was visiting my parents before the pandemic started and then due to the restrictions I got stuck here in my old 8 by 8 room and I’m working and studying from home. I definitely feel your pain girl! Also I fell way behind at the beginning of the year too due to my mental and physical health but still haven’t caught up 😫 I really should have taken a leave
I'm proud of you. I had to leave school too bc of my mental health as well.
You could vlog your days and update us on how you are doing every now and again! I love watching vlogs. But either way, proud of you Kaitlyn for taking this break! I can't imagine what it's like to feel the way you do. So again, I am proud of you. I may just be a random subscriber, but I can assure you many of us feel the same way:)
my happy place🥺
Aww you da sweetest
i love school too and decided to take a semester off for my mental health! absolutely no shame in that! graduated in december instead of may, not a big deal at all :)

Isn't that crazy?? Anyway i hope you taking a break will do amazing things for you!!!!!!!
Hey Kaitlyn, so so proud of you for taking the necessary steps to better your health. Your health is the #1 priority always. Take as long as you need. You're the best human being on the planet and deserve a break, also given the year we've had. I know that you're taking a break but if you need absolutely anything, you know where to find me or I'll DM you anyway just so it's not public. As always, pet Apollo for me and I hope you both are well 💛💛
