Fun fact: never feel like you can't overcome the things that are negatively impacting your life. You absolutely can and you will. It will be difficult, but you're not alone. We're all battling our demons, but remember that our demons don't become nor define us. So make them work FOR you. Not the other way around. You have the power 💜
Don't forget you're not alone! Everyone carries their own demons. So let's talk about it, get obsessed with our therapists and bond over our restraining orders ❤️
Thank you 💜 x
Thank you so much for this video! 💜💜

THIS IS THE CONTENT WE'VE SIGNED FOR
"literally itching - I have a rash" solid pun solid pun
Rosie, I was making ramen and my roommates asked if I was gonna set the timer and I said “no I do it by eye”. Now they are making fun of me because they say that it makes no sense, but it totally does.😂
IT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE
Ramen by eye is very reasonable, don’t listen to them!!!
@@RoseAndRosieVlogs Totally heh :D
I will always remember when I met you guys at Back to Basics and I had a really tough time with anxiety that morning. I was like "I had a panic attack this morning 😢" then one of you was like "Don't worry, so did I" and that was such a big deal to me that not only was I not alone but also someone I looked up to so much was being open about mental health. That's why talking about it is so important and helpful!
This makes me so happy to hear! Last year I met Mamrie Hart on tour and I had had a panic attack that day. I didn't tell her, but I mentioned that I had been crying a lot. She was so sweet and comforting. Glad we look up to such awesome people :)
“She was brilliant... while it lasted” Rosie’s still obsessed
If you haven’t heard about the rash, who are you?
we know all about rosie's medicale file
😂😂😂
@@pitiful_sentence lolol
I have manic depression (which is genetic SO THANKS DAD) basically means my brain doesn't make the stuff that makes you happy (which is just funny to me tbh) and I really like how recently people have been talking about these kinds of topics more and more and make people understand each other and themselfs. I have massive respect that you giys do this so just thanks
My grandma has manic depression and recently it became bad again. And it was so sad. She was constantly crying about "nothing" and seeing your grandma cry is honestly the saddest thing. Well i am crying now... I hope the best for you, you are certainly not alone. Much love :)
@@OudeKaas98 aw hope your grandma feels well soon!
@@DanFrederiksen yea I have why?
lesbian jesus?
*singing inside head* girls like girls like boyyss do
Wtf are u even talking about. Why don't u leave ur pushy suggestions elsewhere and leave this woman (whom u don't even know) in peace
I'm a psychologist and I've also been in therapy. It's a journey but it's worth the effort!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 My therapist dumped me too 😀😀😀
OH MY GOD! How did it happen?! TELL ME EVERYTHING!
@@RoseAndRosieVlogs She told me I was done, we could go have drinks for Christmas..... If we won the lottery!! For real!! The real thing was that there were students on practice in our sessions (with my consent, obviously) and I was turning into my therapist's me!!! I could teach over my own issues... I did it and I didn't really want to admit it. I could never be so thankful! 😀😀😀
I think this has been the longest i've seen Rose talk without making a joke and honestly im so here for some serious real talk. This topic is super important, i cant wait to read all about it in your book and would love more videos about both of you talking about your experiences, things that help you recover and deal with your issues, and how it affects your relationship!
I'm going through a p shit mental health time currently and seeing this video from you two saying how you have felt things like this and also reading all these comments makes me feel SO much less alone. I'm not the only person in the world feeling like this, and we can all get through this together 💜
Oh my god that's so true. What's crazy is, when you are suffering you to tend to just think it's only you. But there are other people who are suffering, whether it's from the same thing or something different. Everyone goes through hard times xxx
phoebe h i am going through a lot of mental health issues e.g anxiety and pretty much I keep having panic atacks and I'm getting in trouble for having dyslexia witch is anoying
Also me with my anxiety and these constant panic attacks. Worst part is I don't know what triggers them. And I'm away from home.
Vuyolwethu Mtyapa same I have panic atacks and the majority of the time I don't know why and it's so annoying pretty much last wedensday I had a panic atack because my science teacher had said that I have to learn How to spell loads of words for this Wednesday ( I'm dyslexic) I told her that and she says that's not an excuse and that I have to know them other wise I would get marks taken off the test so I had a panic atack after that class and had to sit out for the rest of my next class as I needed to calm down. So on Thursday my guidance teacher had came up to me and had asked what happend and I explained and they said they can get stuff to help me with like notebooks( laptops ) and getting stuff printed of so I don't have to copy things of the board and now I'm still really anxious about my test this Wednesday so hope fully it should be fine
(Sorry about the long passage I just wanted to tell you my thoughts)
@@hannahhegarty3554 it's cool. Good luck, and also your science teacher is kind of a-hole. I had a panic attack studying in line to print out an assignment and it sucked. Public panic attacks are the worst, I prefer going through it by myself and then carrying on with life.
Rosie, you’re slaying that hairstyle!
Ahhh thank you so much! I never know if I'm too old to wear space buns but I do it anyway! xxx
It's my favorite on her!!
Hey guys...Possible future topic...
I suffer from FND Functional Neuro Disorder which is caused by trauma. 3 months ago I could not use my arms or legs, and today I have some use of my arms but can barely walk using a walking frame. The bizarre thing though is that there is actually nothing physically wrong with my limbs, it is a mental issue with messages between my brain and my muscles being mixed up.
I have spent 11 of the past 18 months in hospital, and discovered that this is way more common than you would ever imagine. The big downside is that I need physical help and therapy. but because this is deemed as not being a physical illness, the help just isn't there. The mental health departments can't help because they see not being able to walk as a physical issue.
I have now accepted that my condition will not get better and have to live an adapted life accordingly.
Sorry to ramble on but wanted you guys to have an insight, and also show other sufferers that they are not alone.
Love the channel
Cheers

It's such a shame that there are these conditions even many mental health professionals are misinformed on, but I know for sure that there are also those who would take you seriously and do what they could to help you. please don't give up and keep looking for someone who can help, maybe a somatic symptom disorder specialist! Best of luck to you!!!
I am sorry to hear you are suffering & hope that you continue to improve. FND is categorized as a mental condition & (in the DMV 5) one of the few treatments available is therapy, so you really should be entitled to it. Considering you went through a trauma & now are suffering with distressing physical symptoms, someone without FND would need therapy anyway!
While there are indeed a lot of people who's body produces physical symptoms as a manifestation of psychological distress I do want to point out that also doctors are too quick to make this diagnosis. I have autonomic dysfunction & Ehlers Danlos syndrome (which are both physical illnesses) but a doctor tried to diagnose me with FND because he was not aware that autonomic conditions existed & thought I was making wild explanations up about my symptoms, rather than relaying what my neurocardioligist told me!
I am sure you have an accurate diagnosis but I know a lot of people who were given that diagnosis when they actually have a physical illness. As with all invisible illnesses people do not take them seriously & understand the detrimental impact of them, what I found shocking is that medical professionals are often the worst at this because they think they are educated & informed about everything. I was told for years I was healthy because "tests" showed I was fine, when in reality all the minimal blood tests did was rule our certain physical conditions. There are hundreds of health conditions that can not be proven by one physical test, unfortunately people are unaware, ignore or refuse to explore other options. Despite me complaining of a lot of joint pain & having to push joints back into place, it was only when my physiotherapist saw my hip dislocate that she actually screamed & believed me. Turns out a lot of connective tissue conditions are diagnosed on symptoms & the beighton scale, not just inflammatory markers in the blood. Since I got my Ehlers Danlos diagnosis it turns out the physiotherapy I need is completely different as my large muscles are fine, larger than average, but it is the small muscles that need to be worked on. Without my diagnosis, which would have come sooner had people believed me, I would not have accessed the appropriate treatment. Although I know the NHS is incredibly strapped for cash & many do not get the appropriate treatment anyway, which is awful.
Admitting we do not yet understand all of the human body or how it works is incredibly hard for doctors to admit, if their treatment does not work or their assumed diagnosis does not fit, many are given a psychological label instead. My friend was diagnosed with IBS in relation to "stress" when years of suffering later she actually has IBD, is on medication & her symptoms have practically vanished. Another friends back pain was diagnosed as "stress making pain worse" a-ignoring what was causing the pain initially & b-she had a cracked spine! My friends daughter was told she has pain because she was stressed about her school, exams, which she was but it turns out she also has juvinile arthritis! Doctors put the cart before the horse too, often assuming a mental problem is causing a physical problem, when the opposite can also be true.
There is a large proportion of people who are diagnosed with CFS (which is currently thought to be purely psychological) when in fact they have a physical problem caused POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a percentage of CFS patients are helped by graduated exercise, which is also a treatment for POTS, so this outcome backs up their inaccurate assumption that GET greatly reduces certain symptoms in psychological conditions, when they are literally missing the people who have a physical condition instead. This cycle if misinformation & conformation bias has lead to doctors being more aware of & diagnosis people with psychological problems without looking further or even considering other possibilities.
Sorry for that incredibly long comment but I think it is an incredibly complicated topic for anyone to cover, especially with no or little knowledge about. I am sure you must have learned an enormous amount over the last 18 months.
Plenty of people with FND get better, do not give up! You have made huge progress & you can continue to do so, I am sure you know that not everything about FND is understood & so prognosis is different for many, the fact that you have improved shows it is likely that you will continue to do so. I wish you the best of luck!
Great video Rosie. I deal with multiple anxiety disorders personally. Before getting treatment it was even more challenging to operate day to day. Medication definitely helped. But I've been able to start lowering that by using a natural supplement and meditation to help me deal with anxiety. I can't promote meditation enough. I'd say it responsible for as much as 50% of my anxiety staying under control. It's also helpful having content creators like yourself that you enjoy watching. Because sometimes that respite you have while watching is the only break you get.
I'd love to hear more about your meditation Phil! I think I have anxiety but I haven't been diagnosed with that yet. I also use CZcams as a way to calm down and relax a bit, that's where ASMR comes in for me. At what point in the day to you meditate? I find it hard to find the time but would love to start a daily routine of it x
Rose and Rosie Vlogs Personally I use the Headspace app for mindful meditation. So its only ten minutes a day I meditate generally. It's a subscription service but def worth it. And they have meditation packs for a broad spectrum of specific topics you can work through as well as just a normal session. Really it depends on the day for when I do meditate. Sometimes I meditate before work in the morning. Sometimes during break at work. Sometimes when I get home from work and sometimes its before I go to bed. But if I'm doing it consistently I see a definite difference in my anxiety levels. Also sleep better and remember more dreams. It's really fascinating when you research all the positive effects meditation has on the body and brain. I've also on a number of occasions been able to stave a panic attack by meditating.
Such. A. Good. Video. Thank. You. Also I love you. I know I always say that but I always mean it. BTW thank you for writing about ASMR in your blog Rosie. It's been super helpful. Not clickbait: after I read the book I'll probably write about the time I cried during an ASMR video on Tumblr.
I also have very bad anxiety and that causes me IBS. I am just now starting to get it under control using probiotics, a low fodmap diet (I'm also lactose intolerant) which really hleps, and of course meditation. I meditate on the days I feel off, especially the week before a really important event that is stressing me. I also use an app but it's completely free and has thousands of meditations and thousands of categories to chose from. It's called Insight Timer and I highly recommend it, especially if you are a beginner. You can also chose the length of the meditation so it fits your schedule. I usually meditate when I wake up and before going to sleep (there are specific meditations for these part of the day, and also meditations for anxiety, for feeling greatful, for overcoming fear etc). Meditation changed my life. Also it teaches you how to overcome stress using breath patterns. It may seem like it's not helping at first, but just keep trying. You need to believe it's helping for it to actually help
I’m really curious at how ‘gorgeous’ Rosie’s therapist was 😂
same i wanna see the picture now xD
I get you guys so much. I suffer from depression.I am 21, I haven't come out of the closet and I don't think I ever will. I studied a degree I didn't like for several years and that really affected me badly. Once I went to a therapist and I felt completely judged when I told her about my issues so I never came back. But now I feel encouraged to try another one because I'm going throught a hard time right now and I think my depression got worse. Also, I found you guys this year and you helped me a lot, you really cheer me up when I feel bad.
Yes! Keep looking for the right therapist. I had been working for the last year and a half trying it to find the right person for my son who is dealing with depression and self esteem issues. It was stressful, but he now has a therapist who is the right fit for him and he is no longer scared to open up. Good luck!
BridgieOh thank you! I will keep trying
I relate to you so much. I have depression and anxiety disorder and opening up to a professional was so hard cause i thought noone would believe me and everyone would just judge. I also studied a degree that i didnt like and desided to quit that school which made me feel like a failure. which isnt true at all. I didnt like my first therapist and i worked with her a year cause i didnt know there was an option to switch untill she noticed our chemistry was off and offerder it herself. after her i got a new therapist and nothing worked with her eather so i switched again. now I have an "alright" therapist that im trying to work with and things are finally looking OK. I totally cheer you on trying to find help and please please dont stop untill youre satisfied. ive learned that things heal with time and even tho for me that was really hard to accept now ive come to realise that thats true. Some people take longer to come out then others. first time I started thinking im gay i was 13 im 17 now and only a year ago i told my friends that i like girls and i still havent told my family. the only help i can give for that is... dont worry about it too much let the "need" to tell someone come naturally and dont rush it. dont stress about it too much and one day youll realise that "oh i accidently told that person im gay.. oh well" and not even feel bad about it. sorry for the long text, when i start typing its hard for me to stop sometimes. good luck i believe in you and i dont judge you at all :)
Gen thank you!! It's incredible to know there is people out there that has been through similar things. There is so much beautiful and supportive people in this channel. I wish I could go to at least one show and meet such nice people shame I can't because I'm fron Venezuela. But you guys help me a lot day by day. Ps. Excuse my english, It's not my first language.
lets talk
"Isn't that the same thing?" Oh Rosie.
I have horrible OCD, anxiety, and depression. (not to mention the physical problems) And self harm has came along with it. I fight this battle alone everyday. My mom doesn't know how to help. And she wont really help me get a therapist because I didn't vibe with the ones I had. So I am very lonely and I stress because I fight it all by myself. So this video really helped. I love when my favorite CZcamsrs talk about their mental health, definitely when I can relate. Y'all are amazing and are making a difference. You bring light into peoples life with each and every video. Thank you Rose and Rosie, you bring comfort into my life. I LOVE YALL!!!!
Anxiety and the ensuing depression have literally ruined my life for the past 3 years. This month I started going to counselling and just this morning I finally made a doctor's appointment. Currently I honestly feel worse with the amount of emotional effort that's going in but I know that this is better than wasting my days hiding from the world. Thanks so much for sharing, it really helps.
I loved hearing we are not alone. When you are in the state of mind of your mental health your mind comes over powering like a brainwash to your normal daily thinking. Hearing you ladies or anyone speak about their mental health and open up is a good help and reminder we are not alone. I suffer from 4 mental illnesses and now getting looked at for another. Therapy helps major, and talking to people who go through mental health as well is always a great help.
Okay. Two words: Thank You. For using your voice and thank you for being vulnerable human beings. It’s still a huge no, to speak about mental health issues, BUT we NEED to talk about it. We need to support those who struggle. So thank you for bringing awareness to it. Much respect for you guys and I am happy I am subscribed to some smart and absolutely truthful humans 🙏🏼🙈
I’ve dealt with housebound agoraphobia for years, to the point where I still struggle to travel more than 20 minutes away from my flat. Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky people that fell through the system and the NHS couldn’t help me. I was 18 when I first tried to get help and it wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I was able to get therapy privately. I’m 21 now, it literally took 3 years to finally access the support I need and it makes me sad that I’m not the only person that’s been in a similar situation. But thank god I got there in the end, my therapist is wonderful and is helping me through it. But thank you both for talking about mental health! It’s so so important, people don’t talk about it enough, it helps to know that we’re not alone in the world. You have no idea how much your videos help not only me but so so many others going through tough times. Thank you both so much for spreading so much love, positivity and laughter. I admire you both 💛💛
I have had ocd and anxiety since i was little i even had panic attacks when i was 4 or younger my episodes of ocd got triggered nore when some people in my family passed away im in care and living with my nan and social workers didnt understand and would get mad because they couldnt use their bullet point lists to fix everything i had thearapy through CAHMS and went to a 'hospital' school for people with different mental health issues with and extremely small amount of students for nearly 4 years i didnt realise how much all this helped me along with the support from my family during thus timw i felt very issolated and extremely lonely but now im in collage with friends around me and and you guys make me realise how thankful i am youtube has helped me through some tough times and in my recent ones regarding my gender disphoria u guys helped me i have been living as a guy for close to three years now and i told no one that I used to be a girl from fear of judgement now im out and proud and i am happy say that i think im becoming the man im supposed to be x
Actually love this! It’s like if your mate has a broken arm you can’t be pissed at them for not being able to use it as ‘normal’ same as if someone for what ever reason has a mental health issue there shouldn’t be any judgment or shame on them for not being able to perform ‘normally’ and coming from where even going to a dr is seen as pretty weak it’s good to see change happening where it’s becoming encouraged to seek help when you need it!
I’m so excited to watch this, you guys help me cope with my OCD and Anxiety. I’m happy knowing that two people that inspire me can also struggle with the same problems I do. Thank you for this ❤️
itstashathings o
Such an important video and the timing of it too x thank you so much for sharing. You words have meant so much x thank you xxx lotsa love to you both xx
I think people are afraid to admit they need therapy because they think it could mean they are broken or weak or 'crazy’. The expensiveness of therapy is also a deterrent. The feeling of being vulnerable with a complete stranger can cause even more stress. It takes time and effort to find the right mental health professional to work with too. People want a quick fix sometimes too and than can be counterproductive. It’s great that you’re all so open about your struggles as that could help someone say ‘you know something, I may need help with this.’ Thank you for this video.
I have had ocd my entire life, and at age 14 it got so bad that I was hospitalised. I am on medication now and I am getting better, and its helpful to see youtubers and influencers with similar problems talk about getting help. Thank you rose and rosie!
My husband literally last week admitted to himself that he has ocd and it helped me so much to watch how Rosie handles things with such support. Like exactly what rose needed to hear at the time. This couldn’t have come at a better time! We’re gonna watch it together when he gets home 😊
„Stop trying to steal my condition!"
I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to content creators like you ladies for opening up the conversation for your viewers including myself. Love you both!
seeing a therapist helped me so much ive had depression for 4-5 years and i began going to therapy a year ago it has literally helped me so much im the most mentally stable ive ever been!!
Rose, Rosie, I can’t express how much this video means to me. You truly have an immeasurable wisdom for this kind of topic (among others!) and you both approach this with such compassion and kindness that it makes me so happy. This has given me the boost I need to try to find some form of diagnosis for what I think may be OCD, along with my anxiety, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for you putting out this video. Sending so much love! 💕🎉🌸
This is such an important conversion!! Thank you both for sharing and I'm so excited for the book❤💕
I am actually really happy that these amazing you tubers can be silly and out going some times but also very serious and talk about mental illness
Watching your videos is one of the only things that really helps calm my anxiety. And I don't say this lightly. Rose and Rosie, thank you for always being there. I've been there from the start, 7 years ago now, and subscribing was literally one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I really love the way you two talked about this, seriously but also a bit comedic because that’s just who you are and it is easier to listen to serious topics that way.
I’m working on my mental health and hope awareness grows and we all realize that mental health issues shouldn’t have a negative stigma to them
I really needed this I've been super anxious everyday due to college even the two months before starting college and I've been struggling with OCD since 9th grade. It's nice to know that amazing ppl like Rose and Rosie can get through it because then maybe I can
I love how you mention you can “on the next” with your therapist/counselor... I was told to “interview” my therapists like as if they were applying for a job. A job to help me with my life.. and if I didn’t Vibe or I got a bad vibe or if they didn’t fit, on to the next... and don’t feel upset by doing so. Therapists want to help you, and if you don’t jive with them, they WANT you to find someone who will jive... trust me, I asked my therapist if it hurt their feelings and they said No! They want people to find someone that relates/or makes them feel comfortable because if you don’t, then you won’t accomplish what you need to start to live a healthier life.... okay, stepping down from soap box. Awesome video! Hope this helps people out there!!
i’ve been struggling with OCD, anxiety, adhd and depression for a while (not all at the same time thank god but sometimes i get ocd and adhd at the same time, it’s awful) it helps to know people relate to it, thank you for making these types of videos
i'm so happy you made this video. right now I'm going through the hardest time in my life mental health wise, and it's never been this bad. i'm struggling so much, but I also have started seeing a therapist and taking medication for the first time ever. so far it doesn't seem like it's helping, but I'm hoping progress will be made and these mental health issues won't be so bad and I'll finally be able to be happy. thank you rose and rosie for talking about these things because it really does help so many people
You really do improve with therapy and it's really important, i recently stopped my medication (anti depressants ) that i've been taking for almost a year, and little by little i got to that satisfaction and motivation that are not the effect of the medicines but my own mental state. Wow i can't believe i'm saying this but i've actually progressed and been working on myself more and i feel like this time i'm gonna be depression-free (lol) once and for all 💕 btw keep talking and breaking the stigma around mental health it's really important & helpful and means a lot to us xx💖
Love you guys!
You nailed it by stating, you’re not alone. I’m an agoraphobic. Was diagnosed in my 20’s but after therapy it was so obvious that I’d been agoraphobic all my life. My parents never understood the tantrums I had as a small kid whilst hiking! I’m now in my 40’s and although there are so many things I struggle with, I can honestly say, I accept it. I accept who I am and my limitations. I don’t hide my mental health away, as I believe the more people talk about mental health, the more they will realise that it’s just as bad as a broken limb; in fact probably harder, as the limb will quite possibly take less time to heal.
Your videos bring me so much joy and laughter! Well done Rose and Rosie, you’ve taken your already amazing channel to a new platform with this one! ✌🏼 xxxxxx😘
This video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Yesterday I was diagnosed with OCD and General Anxiety Disorder and I just want to say thankyou for so openly talking about Mental Health issues.
I am so happy you guys have posted this video right now. I was diagnosed with OCD 10 years ago and started therapy, I didn’t vibe with my therapist and they kept changing my therapist weekly, so I decided to stop going, ever since then it has made second guess going to therapy. Thank you for posting this it has made me decide to go back to therapy especially now because my OCD has been controlling my life and I needed the boost to go seek help again.
I thought I was alone too, until I found your first video that you spoke about OCD and you made me realise that I wasn’t alone and that my obsessions and intrusive thoughts etc didn’t make me weird. So thank you for that too!❤️
this was such an important message, and it really helped me come to terms with my mental health issues. thank you ❣️❣️
This was like watching my own therapy session, a few laughs, a few tears, but everything was 100% honest and raw. I am so glad you don’t avoid these topics or make them seem ROSE tinted (😉) or sugar coated, but you approach them authentically and honestly and 1. Help us to see that we aren’t alone and 2. Make us see a positive way forward. Finding you two was one of the best things to happen to me, I have been a different (and better) person since I started watching your videos, and I’ve been more myself than ever before. I can’t wait to see you on tour next month and thank you so much for simply being yourselves and sharing it with us online; a choice you didn’t have to make but chose to do anyway. Thanks to you, my days are always a little more joyful and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep being you ❤️
Absolutely love that you're raising awareness on this topic and offering a place that can actually help without needing to be a billionaire. So much stigma surrounds mental health issues and I think it should be treated as serious as a physical condition. If someone broke their arm. People wouldn't question if "it's really broken" or " if they broke their arm for attention" mental health is serious and it's about time we started addressing it and making it feel a little less scary for those who live with conditions.
Love you guys 💙
Rose being serious 0_0 But now I'm being serious. I started to have ODC 4 years ago and spent 8 months in a mental health unit and ended up having to miss YEARS of school (Left in year 8 and I'm now in year 12) and it really takes a toll on me but just gonna keep going. It's hard at times but just think all the things that will happen in your life that are amazing.
Emily Turpin hey it sounds like you have a similar story to me. I missed years of school and kept being told id never finish high school. Just want to say that I’m older now (24) and I’ve really gotten over the majority of my OCD over time. It didn’t happen all at once but things that used to trigger me tend to not anymore unless I’m already super stressed. I can function normally again most of the time, I recently got my degree, and I’m travelling the world alone and living in foreign countries and feeling relatively comfortable. Your future is looking bright !
Nice! I hope to someday move to LA!
i can relate to feeling better months later after therapy!! i didnt realize how much i had to say about my feelings until after it was done and i felt much better.
for a while now i've been feeling the need to go to therapy but haven't had the motivation to get into it. for some reason imagining you going to therapy and keeping your life normal, without making it a big deal, is so inspiring. thank you for motivating!
i thought i was the only person who's struggling with mental health. i never talked to anyone about how difficult it is to deal with. thankfully i still can manage. but sometimes it is hard to handle when im starting to think bad about something. thank you for being such an inspiration
, Rose and Rosie. love yourself is the best thing to do when you had issue about mental health. xx
This is SO important, thank you so much both of you for helping me overcome my mental health illness. I have struggled with an eating disorder for a long time now, which is accompanied by extreme anxiety, depression and OCD. Thanks to your videos, I’m able to switch off from all those pesky thoughts and just enjoy chilling with you guys and having a right old laugh. This was so informative, thanks so much for all the information and thank you for raising awareness. It’s so so important to raise awareness for these conditions...just because you can’t see someone is struggling if it’s not physical, doesn’t make their illness any less valid. We can do this! You’re never alone if you’re suffering with mental health issues, reaching out is definitely the best thing to do. Speaking really does save lives and therapy really can help SO much. Keep being amazing you guys, thanks again for reminding me that I’m not defined by my disorder.
Oh yeah, and chronic back pain is the BANE of my life, I really think it might stem from the constant stress due to the anorexia and anxiety! Thank you for reminding me of the connection between mental/physical symptoms. I’m definitely going to work more in self care and recovery. Thank you, beautiful girls xxx
You guys are so inspirational and helpful!
I love how you guys are always here for us!(fans)
It’s also really nice that you share your own stories so people (edit) don’t feel alone!
Love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Edit ( you guys are so amazing)
Yes. Thank u for sharing. Makes me feel like someone out there really does care about u...
I've struggled with mental health issues for a long arsed time. It got to the point where I had to take a break from Uni, I tried to go back part time this semester but the stress of uni triggered my mental health issues. I am seeing a Psychologist and am continuing to try to get better, or at least manage better.
I really needed to hear this, especially the 'Fun fact'.
I have so much love and respect for these two.
Clever and honest approach to opening up about mental disorders, therapy and the sometimes dependence on your therapist . You are so mature and accepting. Thank you!
Thank you for speaking about topics like that
Thanks I really needed this today love you guys
You two are SO special!
About 25% of my nursing degree was spent on studying the links between physical health and mental well being. It was to prove the most valuable part of my training and has actually helped me personally in all the years that followed.
During my career as a nurse I spent so much time trying to help patients see that their mental health was the key to their physical health improving. Videos like this are so powerful and the impact can never be underestimated. Thank you for posting this 💕
This type of video is so important. I haven't been okay for a while. I'm tired of trying to fake it til I make it. I had a dark moment recently where I looked up whether life insurance covers suicide because I started believing my husband and kids would be better off without me.
I'm seeing a doctor now because I'm lucky enough to have people in my life that forced me to go when I felt too ashamed to admit I need help.
We need to talk about this and remove the stigma. The mind is an organ just like the heart and illness in there needs to be taken as seriously as a heart issue.
Much love to you and thank you again for talking about this.
Very important conversation!
Hello from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ❤️
Thanks for talking about this,I'm dealing with suicide thoughts and depression and it's not easy living in Venezuela to cope with that,it got worse after my dad passed away (almost three years ago) I need help and I can't get it here,a couple of days are better but right now all I want to do is cry and cutting me (haven't done it but I want it ) las amo, thanks for everything you do,you help me not to think about the situation here
Your story touched me. I am so sorry for your loss and for what you're going through. It sounds very difficult. It is okay not to be okay. Do your best to take care of yourself at this hard time, and know that people care about you. Reach out to friends and family as much as you can, tell them how they can help. Try not to cut- good alternatives are snapping elastics on your wrist, drawing on yourself, squeezing ice cubes, making art, and taking some exercise. I wish you all the best.
@@NovacaineDoll93 thanks,I wanted to cut for a long time but I manage to do something else to avoid it but it's been hard with everything that's happening, can't wait to leave this shitty country behind and start all over in a new place
My girlfriend and I both have quite bad OCD and we could never have coped as well as we do now without your videos, it’s so important to talk about Mental health and you inspire everyone to feel comfortable talking about it which is amazing!!
I deal with all kinds of mental health shit and I hate it but I'm slowly becoming better. watching this video is like being at therapy and is so damn helpful. I spoke to my therapist about you guys as one of my coping mechanisms. I have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self harm, an eating disorder and not so long ago I was diagnosed anorexic. the world needs more people like you guys and I was beyond lucky to have randomly met you both on the streets. thanks for everything :))
Omg literally this video needs to be shown to so many people, this has video has explained my mental health better than I have. Thank you for this video ❤️❤️. You guys are honestly the people this world needs. Thank you girls ❤️🏳️🌈❤️🏳️🌈
Awww so glad you liked it! I'll definitely be doing more like this! xxx
Weird that you guys posted this today. As I had my last therapy session of 12 offered free by the NHS for my depression. I used to be someone so adamant that I was 'past help' and was so scared of judgement, but therapy is one of the best things Ive done in my life. You need to heal your mind and soul not just your body.
Loved this video. I'm autistic, and I wasn't diagnosed until my late-teens because people weren't talking, and the people around me weren't taught the signs of what someone with autism would look like in terms of communication, mannerisms, behaviour etc. I'm so glad to see that these conversations are happening more and more, and that people are being taught about a whole variety of mental health issues. It's going to/it already is having such a positive impact. Thank you for opening up this conversation. ✌🏻
I keep having episodes where I wake up in the night and I lie there for a while worrying then I have a really upset stomach and start fainting on and off (according to my ex) and the doctors can't find anything wrong with me. It's only because of this video that I think it must be mental health related!!! Sharing your experiences is so important because it can encourage people to take a step in the right direction !
I was diagnosed with OCD, stress and anxiety some years ago. I was going to therapy but then my therapist changed hours and I have yet to find another one. But, sort of like Rosie described it as the filing cabinet effect, I was told when I get a panic attack it might not be from something that happened that day it could of happened a couple days ago, a couple weeks or even months ago. It's just that something triggered it in me and then it comes out, not that easy to pinpoint at times. So I do understand where it is that you are both coming from, because I suffer also. Usually with me I have trouble breathing and think I'm having a heart attack, which is the worst feeling in the world because I think I'm going to die. But, I have learned to talk myself down from this situation which has been a big help. Great video and you are correct I thought I was the only one that suffered from this but I'm not alone. I just wish some of my friends and family would understand this, they think it's funny and and they make fun of me, I tell them you wouldn't find it funny if it was happening to you.
I'm currently having some life problems, and I just wanted to say thank you for just being you and helping me through it.
life is full of ups and downs, youll get through this rough batch even tho its really afull. get better
@@Genonic Thanks :)
this video felt like a warm hug ❤️ the love and support between you to and towards us is so inspiring and helpful
There were so many good points that were made in this video! I have major depression and anxiety and the points about how mental health affect your physical health is so true and it's so nice to see major influencers promoting something in a positive way.
I'm sure the crush with therapists is similar to if a person where to get get hurt and have a nurse take care of them.
hi! i love all your videos !! i was wondering if you would talk about any mental health issues + dating? im going to university next year, so i can finally date people, but i dont really know what a healthy relationship is like when dealing with anxiety and depression- like, for instance, when rose's ocd gets bad or rosie's anxiety, how do you two work through it and make sure to keep the relationship healthy?
thank you both for talking about this! you two helped me come out and convince my parents that my anxiety is real, so now i am medicated and getting therapy. thank you both, and keep being wonderful 💕
I’m diagnosed with BPD but I struggled for 8 years before I was diagnosed, talking to someone and getting the help that I need was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. Even if you think that therapy won’t work for you, i believe it’s worth trying.
Omg I'm so glad therapy worked for you! It's helped me sooo much but it's so strange that I didn't realise until a little while later, but I still notice the effects everyday! I;m glad you're feeling better xxx
Hello! Fellow borderline here 👋
Rose and Rosie Vlogs change happens so slowly, you don’t notice until you look back and compare how you were and how you are now. That’s when I realised even though I’m not fully recovered I’m on the right track and it’s been worth it.
fourforaboy hello there 😎
I'm so glad that you made this video! I look up to the both of you so much and you never fail to put a smile on my face. I was having a pretty bad anxiety-filled day today, and this video came in the nick of time!! I also suffer from physical symptoms when I have anxiety, and you're both so right when you say that you have to treat mental health like you would any other physical condition. Thank you so much for having this discussion and sharing your experiences!!
I love how honest you are about mental health and that you bring awareness to programs that can help with mental health. Love you both and I can’t wait for the book! I’ll buy multiple copies for all my loved ones
A sponsored video... yay get that money whoop whoop❤️
I think my most idiotic anxiety related delusion was having a panic attack on the bus because I was sat amongst a Portuguese speaking football team and instead of 'oh they're speaking another language' my brain jumped to 'Those aren't words. I’m having a stroke.’ Which is RIDICULOUS (and even arguably a little accidentally insensitive) but my body bought into it entirely - the shakiness, the numbness and pins and needles and disorganised speech. I was swallowed whole. The logical voice at the back of my mind couldn't possibly fight the debilitating physical symptoms. (and then the self-hatred afterwards was even harder to swallow.)
I've been suffering from GAD and panic disorder for as long as I can remember, which very recently has fallen into Agoraphobia. Thank you for talking about this! I refused to believe that everything I was feeling at the start of my diagnosis was JUST anxiety. It seemed far too extreme. I'd love hear how you guys fell back into routine after you felt like the extremities were over. It's something I'm still battling. Even brushing my teeth can feel like too large of a routine sometimes.
Awesome video ladies 🙌🏻 love seeing youtubers using their platform to genuinely help others with the same issues! I suffer with anxiety and ocd, but as you said I am lucky I have the resources to get the help I need but others can’t. Amazing keep up the amazing work!! 😊😊😊😊
This is such an important video, and one that could really help a lot of people. I'm glad you decided to post this. Also, it's so true what you said about therapy - you don't realise just how much it's helped you until after you stop going. In your next video maybe you could talk a little bit about mental health and relationships, because I feel a lot of people seek relationships to gain the validation and love they fail to show themselves; convincing themselves a relationship will give them worth and cure their mental health, and that's seldom the case. I think it's so important for you to find your own self worth and learn how to make yourself happy, before turning to someone else. Of course having someone by your side who loves you unconditionally can do wonders for your mental health and self confidence in general, but you don't want to be in a position where you rely on someone else too heavily for your own happiness and well being. I know a lot of people look to your relationship as inspiration, but you've still had your own individual, internal struggles over the years and that's important to note. At the end of the day, the most important relationship you have is your relationship with yourself. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that
Jenii Rose I understand this completely. Recently suffered from 3 breakups within the month w the girl of my dreams. We were in a long distance relationship for 8 months now, and I flew all the way to her just 2 months back. When I visited her, we came to a consensus that yeah we were now absolutely sure about wanting each other for life and that made me feel so validated. She made me feel so validated and loved. Before her, I had depression and never really believed in love. But she slowly lost her feelings for me after and we tried several times but it all ended w her breaking up w me cause she just couldn’t feel more for me. I feel lost and afraid because what happens when your future just gets ripped out from under you like that. She promised me a future from the start and I started opening up and believing. With the break ups, she told me that I can’t not move on and say that I’ll never recover from her, that I am my own person and that I should not rely on her for my happiness. Makes sense as you say that we should be our own happiness. But when a person has been your happiness for as long as you can remember, you can’t help but lose trust and love in yourself when the only person making you feel so loved and validated walked out on you just like that, and your future becomes bleak again
Sadly we can't determine the role others play in our lives, and we can't control how they feel about us or make them stay with us, but what we are in complete control of is how we respond to these situations and how we choose to move forward. Naturally you're going to feel upset and hurt, and those are completely justified feelings, but by letting it affect your entire attitude towards life, you're actively choosing to let your worth be defined by someone else and you're giving away all your power. Your past relationship has shown you that you can let down your guard and allow yourself to be loved, and although having your heartbroken is unbearable, you handled it, and you've proved to yourself that you could handle it again. You are stronger than you think, and I think you should use this time whilst single to focus on yourself and show yourself the self love you deserve. It's cliche but how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you. Take back your power, remind yourself of all the things that make you great, do the things that make your heart happy, and show others how you deserve to be loved. I believe in you. x
I'M WATCHING U GUYS FROM MOROCCO I LOVE U BOTH SOOO MUSH ... I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SINCE 2015 ... AFTER 4 YEARS OF MEDICATION AND BECAUSE OF U I'M UNDERSTANDING A LOT BETTER MY MENTAL ILLNESS. ... I WANNA SAY THANK U BOTH FOR BEING U AND MAKING ME LAUGH PS: HOPE U NOTICE ME HAHAHAHAHAH ❤💚💙💜💛❤
You two are the best people on earth I swear. As a gay woman in graduate school to become a social worker, I want to thank you for being so open about your mental health and the importance of finding ways to improve it. I hope to make an impact like you have someday
Both of you are two of my greatest role models and I'm so glad I have you in this period of my life. Rosie, you are so strong and resilient when it comes to overcoming mental health problems and I really admire that; Rose, I'm struggling with OCD and as a shy 16-year-old I find it hard to talk about it with ANYONE, let alone get help, so to have you talking openly about your own experience and being able to relate is very important to me. Thank you for using your platforms for such good things. I can't wait to read about all this in your book!
Thank you so much for talking about this! I started therapy in August and I was so scared of going but now I love going and talking about everything I need to get out.
Uhh I LOVE when you get to that point in therapy! Where it's no longer weird because you've got used to it a bit and you can finally get things off your chest! I'm glad it's going so well xxx
@@RoseAndRosieVlogs I don't have many friends so Everytime I go to therapy it's like spilling all the tea with a friend 😂❤️
FINALLY! notification squad where u at 👀
this video has really hit hard. for the longest time i’ve been telling my mum and dad how i feel but they always brush it off and come up with excuses to why they’re not gonna book appointments. thank you for this.
I love this video (btw i love all of your videos). You two help me feel safe and I can’t ever repay you for the help and support, even if I have never seen you in real life, you guys kind of were there for me. Whenever I’m having a bad day, or just a normal day, I watch one of your videos and I get happy, happy because I know now that there is love like yours, and I never thought there was. So thank you ❤️❤️
Lots of love from Belgium 🇹🇩
I'm struggling right now and this is important to me
Omg Rosie, you look so beautiful ❤
Over the summer, I was diagnosed with severe anemia. My stress and anxiety had gotten so bad that it had literally torn up my stomach lining and made it almost impossible for my stomach to absorb iron and other nutrients properly. I did everything I needed to do to sort out my physical health. I had blood work done, starting taking medications, etc. As much as I know I SHOULD do something to work on the actual root of the problem, my mental health, I haven't. I'm a psychology major who wants to be a clinical psychologist, so I constantly preach to people the benefits and importance of therapy. Even still, it's hard for me to take my own advice and seek the help I urge others to seek. Thank you both for talking about this issue and for reminding everyone that there's no shame in taking care of yourself. ❤
I was just diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and have previously had depression, which has been really difficult but now knowing what the issue is, how I can begin to resolve my problems and start discussing it, it has really helped. I’m so glad you two are being open about this and are discussing these issues, you will really help so many people. ❤️
She was a therapist, so yea Rosie maby she had a clue about your feelings 😂
LOL
Rosie is stealing the plot from Gypsy
I have no words. What an amazing video. I can’t thank you enough for talking about everything like you did. I relate to a lot of this stuff so much, I do with all of your videos but this one was particularly special. I will forever be in awe of the strength you girls have and the care you have for your audience. It really does come across, I want you to know that ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 you two are beautiful humans who are so compassionate, empathetic and intelligent! Can’t wait for your book ❤️
Can you talk about your OCD a little more?
ochjules they have a #realtalk video about it on this channel!
Oh okay, I didn’t know thanks!
