WE LOVE YOU GUYS :D
WHO WE ARE:
We are Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, and Lauren Cimorelli, 5 sisters originally from Northern California who are now based in Nashville, TN. We grew up singing in a big family of 11 children and our mom, a classical pianist, taught us to sing in harmony when we were kids. We got our start in musical theatre productions, doing classical pieces in the church choir and performing barbershop harmonies at nursing homes for the elderly (back then our grandma was our agent).
In 2009, when Christina was 18 years old and Lauren was 10 years old, we posted a cover of us singing Party In The USA that ended up going viral. From that video, we were discovered by a manager in London, and shortly after signed with Universal Music Group under Island Records. We moved to Los Angeles in 2010, where we lived and worked in the L.A. pop music world for 5 years, before getting extremely burnt out. We realized a major label deal wasnât for us, left our label and moved to Nashville, TN, looking for a new start. In 2015, we officially became Nashville-based, independent artists.
Since then, we have written and released 5 albums of original music, toured all over the U.S., South America, and Europe, performed at festivals in Germany, Spain and the Philippines, wrote a book, Believe In You: Big Sister Stories and Advice on Living Your Best Life, started a podcast (The Cimorelli Podcast) and reached over 1 billion views on our CZcams channel. Currently, the 5 of us sisters are embarking on new journeys of marriage and starting our own families (Christina, Katherine and Lisa), and figuring out life as twenty-somethings (Lauren and Amy).
Our goal with our CZcams channel is to constantly challenge ourselves to grow creatively, and to make videos and music that is positive, uplifting and innovative. Our Christian faith guides our decisions, and we will always create content that is family friendly, while not being afraid to touch on topics that we believe are important, such as mental health and personal growth. Thank you for being here, and for being a part of our amazing supporters, the Cim Fam!
I can't imagine it would be easy showing your vulnerable side to such a large online audience...thank you girls for sharing these moments with us...it truly helps some of those struggling đ
I choked back so many tears while Christina was speaking because of how much I relate. Getting up in the morning, going to work, interacting with people, doing chores...I have to push myself so hard to do it. All I want to do is lay in my bed and cry.
Stay strong everyone.
Me toođ
I relate to her so much. This is the first time Iâve heard someone specifically mention the thoughts and stuff. Wow! Thank you!
Same here.
me tođ„Čđ
If nobody has ever said this to you: your feelings are valid and you are allowed to express them. â€ïž It might feel scary to open up but the eventually the outcome will be refreshing!
You have ALLLLL my love and prayers Lauren!!!!! II Chronicles 15..... "The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you". Love you all... Your lives are a blessing!!!!
Seeing this picture of Lauren breaks my heart. I already know I'm going to cry this video. I hope you are all doing fine and will get better. We're all doing this together. I love you girls so muchâ€ïž
As someone who struggles with chronic depression, anxiety/anxious distress, PTSD, OCD, childhood trauma, suicide, self harm and an ED for the past 16 years (started when I was 7 and still in recovery with PTSD/trauma, Depression and Anxiety at 22. I've been clean from harming myself for over two yearsđ) I'm so happy and proud of you guys for taking this huge step and talking more in depth about your own mental health. It takes so much for someone to talk about their own journey and I'm sending you guys all the love and strengthâ€
Youâre very strong, Iâm very proud of you and hope it will get better!â€ïž
I have struggled with depression anxiety childhood drama and it sucks I mean emotionally and mentally I am so glad I am not the only one
Thank you for sharing as well. I have dealt with literally everything you said except an ED. I'm so sorry you have had to deal with all these things. I know the pain and struggle but I can tell by the way you write that you are strong. You've got this. Will be praying for you! And thanks for sharing.
Youâre strong. Youâre brave. Youâre resilient. Youâre a warrior đ
me too
Laurenâs mind is scary relatable to me. Iâm even afraid to write this comment bc Iâm admitting that what Lauren said directly applies to me so people now know all of that stuff about me. Iâm a super private person who doesnât enjoy sharing that kind of stuff
But Iâm like that too your not alone feel hugged
I am like that too. My anxiety is very bad. But we are not alone
I'm 36 years old and Kathrine talking about her childhood OCD completely blew my mind. I remember thinking and doing almost the exact same things. I had no idea it was even a thing,with a name! I really just lived my life like that. So sad thinking about it now.
Same... I would always (and still do) think things like "if I can hold my breath until the dog comes through the door, then so-and-so will be my friend, I'll pass this test, I'll get this job etc."
It's sad to reflect on my life, especially my childhood and teen years, and know that so much of my suffering could have been lessened or even avoided if I had known that I could/should ask for help.
I love that Cimorelli are talking about this topic because lots of people don't talk about it. I feel like they are summing up how I feel every day. I hope who ever reads this and is struggling from mental health you will get through it. Thank you Cimorelli.
Exactly me too
I felt their struggles cause i as well struggle with them
You can hear it in Lauren . It made me tear up. She is so private and I can only imagine those moments. Lauren you are not alone. God bless â€ïž
Aww that picture of Lauren makes my heart break đ I know this video is gonna be an emotional one, I just need to mentally prepare myself
You girls are amazing, every single one of you. I love you all as sisters and individuals and I hope you know you are all beautiful, powerful young women. đđ
Holy wow Kath left me in tears and with my jaw open. Her experiences (especially as a child) are so so so eerily similar to mine. Goes to show that we never ever were/are alone in our struggles đ„ș
I'm a dude and I usually don't cry very often, but I'm sure this video about their mental health issue stories are gonna have me in tears đđą I love you girls and Stay Prayed Up and Stay Strong đâ€
Mental Health really affects a person's life, and some think it's a joke. I was told many times that I was just being dramatic, or I was just overreacting, like I'm always misunderstood, and this this makes me feel understood. I don't open up, but I also don't give up because I know that people like Cimorelli are around, and that makes me feel good because I know that I am not fighting this 'life' alone!
I feel that so much... They told me as well many times that i was being dramatic or overreacting... And for me it felt like okay so i can't share my story with you then because you think like that... So i will keep my mouth shut then and don't talk at all... But then it only gets worse because you keep everything for yourself. It gives me only more pain and that makes me scared
Same thatâs why I have hardcore trust issues and also just trauma
@@leilaahhv yeah I get that. But you know growing out of friendships is a part of life, you still have yourself so don't give up on that!
Lauren absolutely broke my heart in this video. I can tell how difficult it was for her to share her story, but this is such a huge step and itâs so important to normalize mental health conversations. Thank you for posting this video - we all needed it â„ïž
OMG LAUREN BABY đđđ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! PLEASE DONâT CRY đą I AM MENTALLY SICK IN EVERY REGARDS BUT I TRY TO LIVE FOR THE LITTLE POSITIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND WILL HAPPEN. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. Christina, Kath, Lisa, Amy, Lauren and Danielle đč
I agree. Lauren is my bias too by the way
I absolutely agree
I can see myself in Lauren a lot. I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks since I was a kid, it's not easy at all and nobody seems understand you. Thankfully therapy helps a lot â€ïž
I already know imma cry while watching this one I struggle with mental health issues as well. love you guys!! đ
Jaycee- hope you are doing ok
@@JC-bq3vd can I do anything to help?
@@JC-bq3vd you are not alone in how you are feeling. Many have been in and are in same situation as you. We can get through whatever you are going through together.
@@JC-bq3vd you would be missed. Missed greatly. You are special and touched many people in this world!
@@JC-bq3vd I care! And I know many others do.
Omg I feel for Kathrine. I've also dealt with depression, social anxiety, and grief. Losing someone can have a big impact on your life and mental health. It was so hard to deal with that my mom had to deal with it too.
I literally have to pause and breathe when Lauren was telling her story because of how much I relate to her. I hope we both feel genuinely okay someday. Thank you for this, Cimsđ
I really relate to the experiences Lauren & Christina shared, especially not feeling safe or things feeling extremely negative and stuck. I was JUST talking about this last night. Feeling safe is everything. And Christina & Lauren are so right on about not all therapists being good for us! It's really important to find the right one for YOU. I've had to recognize that and find new therapists who specialize in my specific traumas and sensitivities. It makes all the difference. Thank you all so much for sharing really difficult challenges while also sharing some practices and possibilities of support. I hope to find friends like you in my lifetime. You're such incredible souls! Wishing you all continued Blessings đ
I have social anxiety disorder. I use to have panic attacks every week and that resulted in me hurting myself. I now have to take medication for my anxiety, so I can manage day to day tasks. My panic attacks would make me that breathless and on the verge of fainting that Iâd have to go to hospital.
Iâve also been through grief. I lost my best friend to a unknown heart condition. He was 21 years old when he passed away and that really pulled me back.
Oh God I felt every single one of Lauren's words. It is so hard to explain that you literally freeze and blank out around people. And it's not just being shy it's being completely unable to move and do certain things. The bigger problem that emerged from this in my case was when I learned that drinking "helped" because I no longer had the capacity to overthink. I noticed people liked me more when I was tipsy because I was easier to talk to, more approachable, more "normal".. I'd have a drink whenever I needed to prepare myself for human interaction. The most important thing is to have a circle of friends and family who accept and love you, where you feel safe to open up about your struggles. Don't rush or push dating, I promise you it won't be like that with everyone! You can take as much time and space as you need :)) THANK YOU LAUREN
I am bawling my eyes out at Katherine, Iâm not even 6 minutes in.. I love you all for this so much.
Hearing Lauren talk about her eating struggles was so powerful for me because thatâs where I am right now. I love opening up about mental health and Iâm so proud of the girls đ„°
Dealing with your mental health whilst being famous and with everyone watching your every move can't be easy. This video is going to make us all emotional and it must be hard sharing your struggle with us, but always know that you will always have us, the CimFam to support you and understand you. Your music saved a lot of young people who are dealing with challenges and problems, it even saved me too. So thank you Cimorelli, for saving us, for being there for us when we needed someone to be there. I hope whatever you're dealing with will heal through time and will teach you a lot of things. I wish I could save you like you saved me. Sending hugs and loveđ
I really related to Lauren. I have GAD, panic disorder, and extreme emetophobia. Emetophobia makes it so difficult to function and it feels so isolating because itâs hard to talk about and explain. Thank you all for sharing this topic, even though itâs hard.
That thumbnail or Lauren crying is making me cryđ i already know i am going to cryđ I love you guys!
"But it made you stronger" have my whole family said to me. And maybe it did, but I was 11 years old when my depression started and this year I'm turning 15. I WAS A CHILD!! I am still a child! I don't wanna feel strong, all I wanted was to be loved and to be safe. And through these years my mental health just got worse and worse, I've tried to end my life multiple times. And I'll never forget the first time, I was 12 I won't go into details but I took a lot of pills and I remembered laying down and just feel myself fading away
You are not alone. Sending you hugs!
Cimorelli,
Throughout my life, I have struggled with moderate clinical depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD , suicidal ideation, and childhood trauma . What has helped me is a combination of therapy and a Christian program called Celebrate Recovery. Also , I get a lot of strength from listening to uplifting songs , and I almost always listen to I Am Enough whenever Iâm feeling down , and it always gives me the strength I need . I just wanted to thank you girls for being who you are and for sharing your mental health struggles with all of us .
Love ,
A fan since 2009 đ
You're worth it girl.
You're very strong, girls. I've been fighting against the depressive & anxiety disorders with the PTSD, and also had an extreme depression in the past. It costs so much patience, but luckily medicine's progressing and there are way more modern ways appearing to fight such things
i suffer from ptsd, anxiety, ocd & depression⊠thank you girls so much for sharing with us đđą
honestly thank you guys for this. i am immensely proud of you for being open and vulnerable bc iknow how hard it can be. im 17 and iâve struggled with mental health since i can remember. iâve been on and off therapy. on and off medication. and on and off psychiatric clinics. its a tough journey. i struggle with disordered eating, severe depression and anxiety disorder, symptoms of bpd and ocd, and recurrent suicide attempts. but im here and still fighting. its not easy at all, but to anyone reading this, i promise its worth it. i even made a video of my own sharing my mental health story in hopes to help at least one person, you can watch if you wish. moral of the story is: you are strong. you are loved. you deserve to be here. and- i am so proud of you. i love every single one of you â€ïž
I am 14 and have dealt with a fear of choking, so I couldnât eat when I was 11-12. I still have that fear , and I deal with a ton of anxiety about my health. My parents just think Iâm trying to adopt habits of checking my temperature or asking to go to the doctor, but I feel like I NEED to. I feel like they invalidate my emotions, but you guys make me feel like I am accepted and can get through anything!
Tbh I wish I could go to theraphy but my parents don't believe in that. They don't even believe that mental health illnesses are real, that "it's all in our heads" and "If you stop being depressed and anxious, then you're gonna be good". It's hard being a teenager with parents like mine because I feel like I have some type of mental illness like social anxiety disorder but I don't want to self-diagnose. When I get older I'm gonna reach out to someone who can help me with my mental health problems but right now, I just want to say to everyone who has access to medical professionals that deals with mental health problems, please take advantage of that priviledge if you can because not everyone has that. Take that chance to help yourself and to reach out to others. I hope you all heal through timeđ
I very much closely relate to Lauren's story but Kath's as well from the fact that the Issues I dealt/dealing with (anxiety, social anxiety and Major Depressive Disorder) stemmed from a young age! from age 6 onward I would always assume I had anxiety and asked for YEARS that i need help but no one would help me...until I turn 18 and our dad was getting sick and I knew something was wrong. Finally, after I turn 21 in 2019 and our dad had sadly passed away from Colon Cancer, I knew it was time. so Therapy truly helped/helps me become a better person but also medication!
What i will say is: Don't be afraid to go after whatever you're going through! because If you don't face your problems head on, then nothing good will come from it and you won't feel better at the end of it all even though it is hard to deal with continually. :) I love you, I'm proud of you guys and you made it!
This video made me realize how bad my anxiety and ocd is đ„ I relate a lot to this though and I don't feel so alone. I also have something where I can't be happy until everyone around me is smiling and in a good mood and also I never wanna tell anyone I'm anxious because I tell myself they are gonna get anxious and feel sad if I tell them what's wrong with me. I hate it and wanted to know if anyone else got that. đ„
Yes i also felt like if i tell other people im anxious they are going to be anxious too and im going to hurt them but thats not true. Trust me.
I struggle with depression, anxiety, adhd, bipolar, and suicidal thoughts. Seeing you guys talk about this stuff helps me feel a lot better that Iâm not alone. Thanks and Iâm such a huge fan
Youâre not alone! đ Weâre in this together.
Lauren's explanation broke me. I'm sitting here sobbing because I relate to absolutely everything she has said. I hate that anxiety exists. I hate that it stops us from experiencing the world to our fullest potential. I wish it was possible to deal with but its not always as easy as it seems. I hear you and I hope we're going to be okay, Lauren
This is why you are able to write lyrics that touch our soulsâ€. So glad I recently found you.
I struggle with axiety and depression and it is nice to be reminded that I'm not alone in my struggles. We're all in this together!
i love that you guys show what has really happens/happened behind the scenes because no social media influencer is perfect and itâs good for people to know. Just like the quote I heard from Amy (donât known who itâs from): âReal girls arenât perfect and perfect girls arenât real.â
I love this quote because it is so relatable! I relate to all of your stories in one way or another. I love you girls tons! â€ïžâ€ïž
Ahh this is probably gonna make me emotional but hey, i am a proud member of the Sad Girls Club! But in all seriousness, I love you girls and all that you do because you guys really help me and uplift me!
Thatâs interesting that you talked about worrying about people close to you dying. My 4 year old went through this thing where whenever I put her to bed, she would be scared and telling me âmommy I donât want you to die!â And I just thought it was the craziest thing, I donât know where she got that fear from. So I held her and kept telling her âIâm not going anywhere. Iâll be here for you for a long time.â I know itâs bad to promise something like that, but she was in tears. We would pray together about it. She hasnât said anything about it lately, so Iâm hoping for her it was just a phase? But I do want her to feel like she can tell me when sheâs struggling with things like that so I can try to help her.
Yâall have the same things I do!! I love how yâall posted this! Iâm 17 and a senior and have struggled with anxiety and depression for a while and suicidal thoughts and everything. Thank yall for posting!
It is really brave of you to open up about your struggle with different types of anxiety. It's to cry, because everyone do that sometimes through their lives. I love you so much and I appreciate that you all are yourselves and also show that the life is not always what it looks like on social medias. It is so sad to hear so often on the news that so many people are struggling with different types of anxiety and depression. Sometimes I have felt the feeling of anxiety, that feeling is horrible. No one should experience that at all. I am so proud of all of your journeys with struggling. I'll always be there for you, no matter what. Btw, my English is not the best, I am from Sweden, so don't judge me lol. A LOT OF LOVE FROM SWEDEN!
I might start crying tomorrow when I see this because even though I don't have any problems with mental health but I just feel a lot more down about myself and everything you girls have changed my life so much and I wouldn't be anything without you girls
I 100% related to Catherine talking about intrusive thoughts- loved ones passing away, getting into car accidents, and even the dropping a knife in the kitchen. Itâs so hard to deal with, I really feel you. It makes me feel better to know Iâm not the only one. Sending love and strength to all of youđ
what lauren said about not feeling save with anyone really hit me because iâve always felt exactly like that, and itâs kind of comforting because iâve never believed that someone else had gone through the same as me. thank you for doing this video and making us feel less alone
This video has me crying. Laurenâs story is so relatable to me and Iâm so glad I got to hear it. Iâm just so grateful to hear all of them but Laurenâs in particular has hit me. Thank you for the video guys â€ïžâ€ïž
I love how Christina specifies that it's okay to give up momentarily/take a break as long as you don't let it consume you. I have high-functioning depression (this is just an assumption from what I've noticed- I haven't been formally diagnosed quite yet), and I have a tendency to ride these crazy highs until I inevitably burn myself out, which causes me to spiral into horrible depressive episodes where I literally cannot do anything. Sometimes all you can do is exist- and that is more than enough :)
Aww. Lauren looks so sad đ
Cimorelli sisters â€ïž Been here for a few years and you remind me so much my sisters and I. A million thanks for sharing this with us all! I am currently reading a book called âIt didnât start with you: How inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how to end the cycleâ and I cannot even begin to tell you how instrumental it has been for me. From someone who would have never said in a million years that I underwent family trauma to truly realizing how things that happened generations before have deeply affected me mentally. Couldnât recommend the book more! Bless you all xX
This is amazing this is the sort of role models people today need. Making people know theyâre not alone can help mental health so much. Thank you girls â€ïž
I relate so much to you Lauren. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories. I grew up with horrible anxiety as well and stressed out over meeting new people, driving to new places, and ordering food. I dreaded large gatherings where Iâd have to talk to people and let them get to know me. I felt alone through all of this because no one understood how I felt and why I felt anxious about seemingly everything. I hated being the center of attention. 24 years later, Iâm a math teacher and still deal with anxiety, but now I feel like I can work with it because I have a purpose in life. My students keep me going so that I can keep them going.
I can never be this open, especially on the internet. Wow, you guys are brave!!! I'm sure I can relate to a lot of the things that you are going to say and that's just going to tell me that I'm not alone so, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
âThroughout my life I have dealt with anxiety and depressionâ-Lauren
I could hear the emotion in her voice, she sounded like she was about to cry â€â€â€
Wow. I always thought i was the only one who had the eating thing. People used to ask me if i was anorexic or if i had a eating disorder that i became so scared of eating with people in case they noticed i wasnât eating. Thanks for sharing!
This rang a bell to me I had my mental health anxiety and afraid of matching with someone not being able to have a relationship or depressed
Oh so tomorrow is going to be a crying Saturday
Update:
I indeed cried, sometimes I forget that I'm not the only person in the world struggling and so this was deadly comforting to watch
it's okay to feel that way.
it's okay to cry from time to time.
write it down if u have no one to talk to, but don't ever keep it inside. you're gonna be okay :)
I relate to Lauren sooo much! Itd madness how similar we are! Thank you for sharing! Really appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing!
I have never in my life heard someone verbalize my inner battles the way that Katherine just did! Iâve been dealing with the same intrusive thoughts about death for as long as I can remember. Iâm just so amazed right now because I really thought that I was the only one going through this. Thank you Katherine for sharing your testimony. May Yah heal you and bless you with a sound mind. You are divinely protected. đ
I just watched their testimony video yesterday..was about to ask for a part 2 ....thanx cimorelli.....lauren don't cryđ„
Lauren, I really relate to what you were going through. I struggle so much with not speaking up for myself, being afraid to speak my feelings about any negative situation, etc. itâs so hard for me to do. I feel so guilty if I do because when I do all filters are offâŠand thatâs not what God wants me to doâŠIâm so thankful for Cimorelli!
You guys have troubles but guys still post videos for us every week and I am grateful for you guys. You guys are my role models. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Ahh you guys hearted my comment!!!!!!â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Iâm definitely going to cry watching this video but I canât wait! Thank you guys for sharing this with us itâs going to help so many people out realize that they arenât aloneâ€ïž
Mental health blows. Props to you all for being able to reach out for help. I canât do that, but Iâm glad you guys did. I will pray for you girls. âI have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.â -John 16:33
Im in my spiral season again. You dont know how grateful i am because with this video i know you guys will help me feel better again. Thank you guys so much â€ïž
Same Iâm also struggling rn again and Iâm so grateful for this video. Hope youâll feel better againâ€ïž
@@annregnitue1641 same as you hun, i hope you'll feel better soon sending you lots of love â€ïž
Same here.
@@LPSAANDLPSLVids hope you'll feel better soon, love â€ïž
Katherine talking about having intrusive thoughts is so so so relatable.
Christina's description of her depression is so incredibly similar to mine. Definitely relate to her on a deep level.
I can seriously relate to all of them in some ways. Thank you guys for talking about these things that a lot of people struggle with. đđŒ đ€
I'll be 17 on Monday. Ending my year of being 16 with an emotional and helpful lesson. Thank you â€ïž
I really relate to Katherine, I often have a fear that someone I love will die, its uncontrollable and I deal with it by praying for them, that God will keep them safe because He has control unlike me. Thanks Cimorelli for sharing your experiences. I cope with my depression and schizophrenia by taking prescribed medicines from my doctor. I do wish Lisa was there too
I just saw the thumbnail and the video title, and Iâm already crying. I love you guys so much 5ever! Iâm just so grateful to be in this community, the CimFam, because I know weâre all in this together. đâ€ïžđâŁïž
i have extremely severe ocd panic disorder anxiety and spd. i am also dealing with childhood trauma and recent trauma. my symptoms started when i was a baby. i feel like crying because watching this has made me realize for the first time in over ten years that i am not alone. thank you for sharing this with us.
Mine would be Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD.) November 16, 2020, I tried taking my life out of impulse and depression. I've recovered a lot, though! I'm really proud of you all and grateful that you're sharing your experiences and shedding a light on a topic that needs to be talked about much more đ„° sending much love to you all
I'm so excited to watch the video! I will graduate as a doctor by the end of the year, and I want to become a psychiatrist! â€ïž Thank you, girls, for sharing such an important content! Thank you for helping us to share that it is okay to struggle with mental health and ask for help, and that all of us deserve to feel happy! đđđ»â€ïž
To all person who struggles, who gets anxious, to all sleepless nights and silent cries, I want to give you some big hug. You made it this far, i'm so proud of u, of us.
Speaking about mental health openly is what will soon normalize these discussions. It is not easy to start such a change but itâs a step we all need to make to give each other strength and hope. Thank you ladies â€ïž
ive struggled with severe anxiety, social anxiety separation anxiety panic disorder and depression for a longggg time some of those my whole life and they are difficult to talk about so i really applaud you, very brave of you to open up about and honestly this was a video i needed to watch today
Wow. Hearing Katherine talk about her ocd and anxiety experiences was so relatable. The obsessional intrusive thoughts about loved ones dying really hit me. Iâve got severe anxiety around my health and the idea of my loved ones dying. I got so anxious I couldnât eat, sleep or function at all. Words are meagre things. They donât come close to expressing how horrendous these illnesses can be. It can feel like youâre dying. That you wonât survive it. Iâm sending so much love to anyone in the thick of it. Iâm holding your hand in that dark place. Iâm standing with you. â€
Another thing that has helped my anxiety was understanding and learning to activate the vagus nerve which controls your nervous system.
Thank you for talking about it its so important.
I have suffered from severe depression (currently a lot better, but still have work to do). I also have anxiety, ptsd, phobias, ocd (the kind Amy has), low self esteem and food addiction. I have seen so many therapists over time and a lot of them helped me. What I struggle with the most is keeping up with good habits and routines. I can do really good for a while like having a routine where I journal, take my meds everyday, do breathing exercises and physical exercises, but then I have a bad day and break the routine and cannot go back to it for months.
Iâve never related so much to something until this video! Iâve always assumed I had OCD but hearing talk about her experience as a child is word for word what it was for me. Thanks for being so vulnerable and normalizing this conversation!
I went through exactly what Lauren described when I was younger. Especially the relationship/ food anxiety. I couldn't eat, and I went through periods where I threw up from anxiety and lost tons of weight. I was so hungry but it wouldn't stay down. It was horrible. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend doing neurofeedback. Please look into it. It's so easy to do, and it helps tremendously. It helps to calm overactive brainwaves that cause that anxiety and torture feeling. And it helped so much with sleep. I'm a walking testimony to how well it works!
sending so much love to whoever needs itâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder and Schizo-affective. I've struggled with selfharm since 2012 and I am currently 9 months clean as of February 15. I've dealt with suicidal thoughts and attempts and have been hospitalized 10 times in the past 4 years. I can totally relate to each and every one of you. I also noticed Christina brought up cognitive thinking.
Ever since i started watching the girls since 2012, over the years theyâve shared so much vulnerability and insight on emotions. They HONESTLY helped me discover so many things about myself through their strength in order to share their struggles to help other people. I was 16 then and now Iâm 25. Theyâve always helped me grow and build my emotional energy. I can never thank you girls enough for your incredible vulnerability and openness â€ïžâ€ïžđđ
I watched all of your videos growing up and in that time i also struggled with OCD. Back then it would have helped me so much if you had posted a Video like this. Thank you for Posting this Video so people who struggle with it know they are not alone. I can only imagine how much this will help others â€â€
Big sis is so smart! God really does talk to u in those darkest moments! I want some good books to read! I'm also going to start journaling! Love u ladies.
I feel like Laurenâs been waiting to get this all out.
And she obviously needed to â€â€â€
For me, everybody sees me as a happy girl. Like inside and out, im always the girl who knows that can make anyone smile in just a second.
But there is this part of me that i truly hate. I sometimes dont really like myself. For example, my face , my body, my personality, just everything. Everytime i think about myself, i cant help it but cry.
But i dont know what to do, but just keep smiling for others when im not happy insideđ
I have Generalized anxiety disorder and Iâve have random spouts of depression since I was a teen. Thank you for being so vulnerable and real for all of us!
At the very beginning, all the other sisters spoke in very somber quiet tones. And then, there's sweet Amy. She speaks through a happy smile. And I started to cry. It's so relatable to me. Sometimes, just because someone looks bubbly or can be joyful, doesn't mean they don't carry really heavy hurt. You never know the things we carry. Amy just spoke to me so much in that, and it touched me.
Thanks so much for this segment and for sharing something so unequivocally personal, Cimorellis. All the
I relate so much to Katherine and Amy talking about OCD. Thanks for talking about it, it's good to know that no one is alone in this or in any mental health issue
Talking about Mental Health is SOOO important. Even if itâs difficult to share. I know for me, with anxiety and depression, if I keep everything bottled up, it overflows and I tend to lose sleep, lose my appetite, and have panic attacks, to name a few. I could write a novel about my MH. But talking about it is so cathartic and relieves such a weight. I applaud yâall so much for talking about your MH journeys. Keep fighting, keep Regrounding, keep praying, keep talking. Love yâall
I never understood why I felt so connected to Lauren but hearing her talk about her anxiety confirmed it. I feel connected to her because I deal with the same things as her. To each of you ladies, thank you for sharing something that could be difficult to talk about. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you guys put into creating something so beautiful.
It's amazing that you guys are able to share something so important to talk about. On behalf of many many people, thank you guys. We love and appreciate youđ€
As someone who has PTSD, Anxiety, and Social Anxiety and that I have been struggling with it since I was 10 it was so hard to speak up for myself and talk to people because for me all I ever wanted was to make everyone around me feel comfortable that sometimes I would forget to make sure that I felt okay and comfortable. I now know that I can speak up for myself and make myself be heard by others. Also that I can stand up for myself. So if you are someone that struggles with any sort of mental health issue just know that it never truly goes away but it does get better. I am so happy that Cimorelli has made this video because then people can know that they aren't alone. So, thank you, Cimorelli!
thanks for posting this, i deal with anxitety and depression and i feel like i will never get better. i might need to got see my doctor to see if i have any other mental illness as i am showing symptoms of other mental illnesses. i hope i can get answers and more answers. love you guys

I love what Katherine said for her turning point. It was so freeing for me to be able to share my struggles with others. Like Katherine, I used to carry it alone.
