Lupin Vivian understands first hand the rewards of not being “normal” and owning it. A diagnosis of Schizophrenia as a young teen sent her to institutions away from family, school and her home of Guernsey in the British Islands. When she returned, Lupin was confronted with marginalization from her peers and struggled with shame around her illness. Once she realized she could not disguise who she was, she embraced it, and this journey is what eventually brought Lupin to her greatest freedom. Today, she is a personal style wizard with an amazing partner, a college degree in theology and english and a master of understanding what matters in life is not anything external. What matters is caring for yourself, so that you can in turn care for others. To see more of Lupin, check out her instagram @lupin.vivian.

" I feel I look most beautiful when I'm being loving and caring towards someone else as I'm externalising my inner beauty then." Wow.
This has such a strong message about the dehumanisation of people with mental health and how you are so much more than your label❤️ Lupin is such a beautiful soul and is so inspirational ❤️
Oh yes absolutely
Lupin is such a beautiful and intelligent person. Thank you for discussing such a misunderstood condition.
I have a brother who has schizophrenia & this interview has opened my eyes in such a way .. 🙏🏼.. It was EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE..THANK YOU FOR THIS ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One can not hide oneself in plain site for very long. To show our true self is to attract those that are open to YOU .
I really admire her. A lot of people with schizophrenia give up on meds and therapy. She stuck it out and is making herself #1 and taking care of herself!
I grew up with a parent who suffered from schizo-affective most of my life. I witnessed and grieved his experience being shamed, abandoned, all the ravages of the medications over time and chronic hospitalizations, and wasn’t free from my own under the darkness and fear of dealing with his psychosis.
I think when you experience psych wards with such familiarity you understand a world and part of humanity that scares so many people. It’s a kind of primal fear.
I am so happy to see Lupin’s story and what I always wished for my dad-individuals living free, managing their lives with others - showing it’s possible to have stability and love and support.
This is one of the most beautiful interviews that gave me insight into what my dad was experiencing, including the incredible depth of compassion for others that I have always found in people struggling with these issues.
Lupin’s lovely spirit is needed in this world.
thank you for this story.
One of the best and open,and honest interviews I've watched so far on this platform.
So appreciate it xx
So happy to hear it
I'm so grateful for hearing Lupian's story. She has beauty that is so inspiring. Thank you so much
Thank you for watching
I learned so much about schizophrenia on the CZcams channels. I am new, not afraid of people with schizophrenia.
Lupin. Thank you for deciding to do this. I've learned so much.
lupin vivian, you are impressively self aware, articulate and shared a lot of really good insights, thank you :)
We couldn't agree more
I'm on the Board of a Orphanage. I take girls in when they age out of the home. One of my girls was doing so well and finally starting her first real job. She told me she remembered her past abuse and the following week was displaying some strange behaviour. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Thank you for sharing Lupin's story. I would like to know what medication she is taking if possible. My girl struggles with the weight gain. It really bothers her.
Go girl! Love this so much and your beautiful testimony.
This is a truly and profound interview. Lupin is such a beautiful, vibrant and brave being, so much wisdom and understanding in such a young age after experiencing so much pain and trauma. A true alchemist of life. Words are failing to express my deep appreciation for her to be truly authentic into the world wide web and for your platform to find out human gem!
I know you are experiencing with a new format and new techniques so I would like to share my feed back, I found the early part of the interview editing very challenging to watch, maybe there is a way to make it simpler. It can be discouraging for sensitive people, Lupin light keeps me holding on...
A side note: Lupin is one of my favourite flower that is blossoming in an explosion of colours right now...
Thank you so much for your beautiful and dedicated work! in gratitude and joy
Thank you for sharing your story Lupin! Your outlook (inlook?) on self-love, compassion, care and acceptance resonates deeply with me.
Thank you !!
I just seen and understand my mama better mental heath is real and my mama is not crazy she is special I see her 💕
What a beautiful soul ❤️
Thanks for the empowering words. I'm also struggling with my own and think the courage to tell your story is amazing. Keep up your strength!
I hope everyone (even those who do not speak english) could understand and watch this amazing interviews which champion what it is to be human and one of a kind but also so fundamentally connected and similar in so many ways. Amazing interview once again. I trully love your platform. Thank you.
I think we all have to learn to "understand" our fellow human beings not through the use of our brains, but by using our hearts and feelings. That is a universal language everyone can relate to on a devine level, which is the source of each and every one of us. You guys are doing a great job of spreading love and connectedness with your work. Huggs from Germany, Christina
What an absolutely wonderful young woman. Xxxx
I love this project and knowing about the different experiences that we as human beings go through. Keep doing this!!
Wonderful that u came out of the experience more empathetic. Some people just become grumpypusses. And u all are right that there is still shame in feeling human. We should be allowed to feel things and express them as they come so we don't get even more messed up. Thankyou!
Awesome partner, clothes and metaphor =]
And women's clothes don't usually have pockets coz they want y'all to buy bags. Merchandising. But also, they want women to be disempowered and encumbered most/if not all of the time
i love the power clashing prints- I absolutely love this channel you guys are doing marvelous work- thank you lupin for sharing your story you are an absolute miracle and inspiration
Wow this video is so relatable. Towards the end I started crying. It's so difficult to not feel like you're only a bad person. like I know that I have amazing qualities and I'm really kind and compassionate. But it's so hard to hold on to those things when I have to struggle with my mental health and believing that my true self is disgusting and that people will grimace at the site of the real me. But watching this video was cemented that it's not true. Thank you for doing this interview!
This was amazing. All of your interviews are. There are so many beautiful souls out there. Can't thank you two enough for the amazing content you are spreading. Sending much love.
What a beautiful gentle soul! Thank you ❤
More power to you Thank you.How brave and courageous you are.Have a beautiful life.🧡❤🧡
So beautiful! Thank you Lupin. Xxx
Oh I love Lupin so much!!! What an amazing & inspiring young woman. Her bravery in doing this will help so many other people going thur something similar. I'm so happy for her making a wonderful life for herself & kudos to her partner for being the rock in her life that she needed to blossom 🌹
I miss the old editing style where the view remained on the participant only. Cutting to constantly seeing the interviewers is visually exhausting.
Lupin you are amazing! sending you so much love!!!
What a beautiful person! So interesting and genuine! And so very lovable!
Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for continuing this series for so many years!
Thank you guys for talking. This has been soul cleansing for me. 💚
you are so welcome, love to you xo
I have been watching so many of your episodes and have fallen in love with humanity again. I thought that I was non judgmental but found out that I have been conditioned to slot people into stereotypes without realizing it. This channel is beautiful and everyone I have watched are just beautiful in so many ways. I've had so many epiphanies about myself and how I see myself and my body. How I see people. I asked my 15 yr old son to watch some episodes too . And also shared it with so many women who I know. Because every person I have watched has made me realize how much we all have in common, in different degrees and how vital it is to discover people without any preconceived opinions. Thank you
Beautiful inside and out and what a wardrobe! ❤️❤️❤️🥂
Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much
She is so lovely. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a wonderful interview it is making me understand this illness and feel more empathy.Thankyou 💕 Lupin you are brave and beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your story....so empowering. I have at least two family members with schizophrenia. I want to understand more and be more compassionate.
Really beautiful 🧡thank you
I love this series! Thank you so much!
This interview was beautiful❤️❤️
Wonderful!
This was amazing
This is lovely!
Thanks for watching!
I love having people on from different places around the world, the reality is it’s easier to be a weirdo in (for example) New York or London than it is a smaller city, town or village. More variant in the human experience this way :)
You are weird and wonderful just like we all should be😊
Woh Lupin you're so beautiful!
hi guys, you are great but you dont need so many cuts to different shots in the video as it makes the viewer feel woozy.
Coming out of the rabbit hole💗💗💗
Lupin Vivian shares her drawings on fb!
this is a big shot in the dark, and a little besides the content of this (wonderful and beautiful) interview - but does anyone happen to have any tips on where Lilly's DUVET cover is from ..... although likely futile I am posting to ask as I have been searching for one exactly like this all year to finish off my lil home
What a powerful interview. I mean really who is normal?
Beautiful
i just LOVE that blouse
She's a darling 😍
not enough and too much.... yup
Can hearing about someones experience with schizophrenia trigger someone else into an episode? Would a TW be appropriate or mentioning it in the title?

I wish the interviewer was more informed about mental health issues. Cause in some way l find this interview a bid intrusive and exploitive
You are normal... I have the bi polar 1. If People can't handle your sceeze.?.
7:24 jesus shes so unemotional and uncaring shes just trying to use people to milk out content... honestly gross
My darling, you indeed are not alone! You have our heavenly Creator Jehovah God. Unfortunately you have fallen prey to one of many illnesses we've inherited from the original sin committed by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Satan the devil, the opposer of Jehovah (the One true God), made sin
Imminent in all humankind. Believe in Jehovah God's
son Jesus Christ who died for all men, so that we may gain life forever here on earth! You my darling, will have the opportunity to live without the mental illness that you presently experience. Continue to take your medication, talk to those willing to hear, pray to your heavenly Creator and use His name (found in the holy scriptures at Psalms 83:18). Read the "Lord's prayer at Matthew 6:9-14 and relish in the comfort provided by our heavenly father. I wish you well, and may you find "the truth" you seek in the holy writings. Go to JW.ORG for more information.
Why would you post this? Now is not the time to try and convert this woman!
@@gypsyfreedom9 If you would "read" what was written, then you would realize that it was written to "her" and not to "you". If by chance you would pay heed to what has been written in the Bible, then you also would trust in the right source, in lieu of the one you've chosen to follow.
