As a nurse, it breaks my heart that you had this experience! I’m appalled that the consultant told you it was all in your head and was so patronising about it!! Also, Imogen please rewatch this video and listen to own advice. You have the kindest heart and it’s not right that you’re struggling! I’m rooting for you gal! You WILL get back to feeling 100% amazing again 🥰💕
I went through something very similar except it wasn’t physical pain it was my mental health. After years of being invalidated by pretty much every person that I opened up to, I decided to take things into my own hands. The nhs failed me, so I decided to get a formal diagnosis. It was the best £400 i’ve ever spent. At least now I know whats wrong with me and I can finally understand myself. Thank you so much for sharing :) Its through the good of people like imogen and her story times that we can feel like we’re not the only ones. I love our lil community where we can feel safe and all relate together ❤️
Me too! Even an hour before my surgery my surgeon said to me 'don't be disappointed when I don't find anything', he had to sheepishly tell me after he found endo everywhere. Sadly he did a bad job so I'm still waiting for a second surgery with a specialist. Hope you're doing okay from one (drugged up on morphine) endo sister to another! X
Hi imogen, I don't know if you'll ever see this and can only hope that you do! But I just want to let you know just how beautiful you are both inside and out. I have severe anxiety disorder and yet, your energy, personality, charisma and everything you bring to your videos and photos have be in complete bliss in that moment. I don't want you to listen to any words that aren't positive going forward, because I am telling you here and now, that you are beyond special. You have helped people in ways you'll never even know. Please go to bed knowing that you're many peoples light, and that's exactly why jealous people try to dim that light so that you don't shine brighter then them. Stay the you that you are, and all the brilliance that comes with you. So much love to you and Spencer and hope you are safe and well ❤
Before I even watch this ... The last 2 years I have suffered from a stomach condition; so many times I was told “ it’s in your head” not only from practitioners but family and friends. It was so disheartening & the fact that those closest to me had no consideration to what I was going through, both emotionally and physically broke me. Thank you for sharing your story ! ❤️
my family always tells me that i'm a hypochondriac. but i'm constantly in so much pain. i have bad digestive problems, terrible back aches, i'm constantly dizzy and super weak, and i'm scared to eat because it always ends up hurting afterwards. i just wish people would listen to me.
alanariley same I’m just giving up at this point . My mum said to me the other day “ I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you “ so I don’t know what to do anymore part from deal with the pain cause that what I’ve been doing now for all most a year . No one ever listens. I hope it gets better for you though I wish you all best xx
Sorry I don't know you, but have you got your blood test done? I'm no Dr but I have low iron and vitamin D and I have the same symptoms. Maybe you should get it checked out?❤️
Please please please keep going. I’m not sure your age but keep making those doctor appointments, make sure they know how much it effects your day to day life. It’s such a long journey for diagnoses but it will be worth it! And people in these comment sections, including me are always here for support! I hope you get the answers you need 💜
First off thank you for sharing your story. I have just watched part 1 through to 4 after seeing part 4 in my notifications and going through a similar experience. My story is no where near as painful or horrible as yours so far but I have been told it is all in my head. Been through the camera tests you were on about and I remembered the time I had one down my throat and my goodness me it was horrendous. I still to this day at the age of 21 have no diagnosis and IBS tablets did not work for me either. I get my pains very randomly and actually got sent to the GP from school back in year 10 or 11 because they thought I was having panic attacks due to anxiety and stress. I have been to so many people for advice but do not know what to do because I am so much better off than so many people in these comments. I just want to let you all know, if you are still reading this, that your pain is no less and if you do not think it is in your head then fight for it.
Female pain can often be minimised or seen as “overdramatised” - I’m so glad you fought through it all but so sad it took so much to even be believed even though there was literally no evidence to say you were “fine” 💔💛💛💛
You do know Imogen how you feel RIGHT NOW will pass? Nothing is forever, this feeling isn’t forever and you will be feeling a lot better soon. Ride this feeling out, you’ll learn so much about yourself in this time. You will get back to being you when the time is right. It’s ok to feel low and I know it feels like forever but it’s not. It will pass. It always does. Chin up sweetheart xxx
Thanks so much for being such an inspiration and sharing your story. I was dismissed by so many doctors who would listen to me talking for about 30 seconds about my debilitating symptoms before gaslighting me and saying it was all in my head. Luckily I'm a biology student so was able to use the knowledge from my studies to discover a condition called POTs, which I was then able to be tested and diagnosed with. If I hadn't taken my health into my own hands, I would be pretty much bedbound by now, instead of pretty much symptom free through simple lifestyle measures. This is not an isolated event, as you're story has shown too. Disgusting the damage people can do through not just admitting when they don't know something or being open minded enough to trust the individual who is seeking your help. Sending love to you and hope you can see how much of a positive influence you are having on those around you 💜
I went through the exact same thing. I was taking a mediation and had severe back/hip pain. Every time I stopped the mediation I had the pain go away. I told my doctors about it and they said because they hadn’t heard of it it must not be real. The doctor then said ‘are you sure that it isn’t in your head?’ I literally was like so surprised as I knew the pain and my body and there must of been something wrong. I literally did not sleep for two weeks at one point, because The pain was so bad. I also had the issue of not going to the toliet but only for around 2 weeks because of the pain and evenly had a laxative and managed to go. I ended up having a huge tumour in my spine and luckily had it removed. If the doctors had listened and looked into it , it could have been prevented. It’s so frustrating. I know how you feel! Hope you going ok xx
I love seeing you so bubbly and happy. You will get back to your old self. You say at the end 'whatever you're fighting you can get through this' - mental struggles are just the same. LOVE YOU! Xx
I'm a nurse and I am absolutely speechless to the fact they discharged you when you hadn't opened your bowels for over 2 months! I'm so shocked! It's disgraceful, that clearly something was not right! Even if it was "in your head", being constipated for over 2 months is so dangerous! Genuinely can't get my head around why they would do that 🤷🏼♀️
Imogen you are strong and a positive person and I know what it like to have stomach problems because my dad has the same problem. Imogen what happened to you doesn't mean you should give up on the this you love I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I went through a very similar thing untill recently for the past year, I was throwing up and had really bad stomach pains after having a burning feeling in my stomach for MONTHS it’s taken a year after being on steroid medication and then being told it’s all in my head, turns out I have Crohn’s disease and they were telling me It was and then it wasn’t untill March this year I ended up in hospital again and then again 3 weeks later because of it for them to then now turn around and say definitely it’s Crohn’s disease and I need to go in a very intense treatment! Sometimes doctors don’t always know best they think they can feel what you’re feeling but they can’t! ❤️
Doctors tell me All of my symptoms are in my head and they are I know that but it sure as shit makes you feel crazy like so crazy it’s like how am I doing this to myself without even realising it uno , but love you your so strong 💕💕
You doing so well beautiful, you should be so proud of yourself for even building up the confidence to post a video! I know thing like this take time to get better, but trust me your doing amazing! ❤️ your so strong and you will get through this, you will always have us there supporting you every step of the way! I cannot thank you enough for being such a great role model for others who have struggled with mental health and also for speaking out on the BLM movement, it is so important to bring recognition to these issues!! I love you beyond words! xxx
I don’t know how you got through all this hospital trauma you’re such an incredible person!! Love you loads and I hope your mental health recovery is still progressing. You’re an angel ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sweetheart for still posting this. The first thing that struck me is whether retelling the “experience” has triggered PTSD? What you went through was horrendous and terrifying and confusing. I’m 45 and have had stomach issues for years and they’re are getting worse. My son has to be connected to a bowel flush ( mechanical enema) to empty his bowels. I recently got taken to hospital for severe pain, I hadn’t eaten for nearly a week.. I was told your bloods are fine, go home. I was devastated as I wanted to scream at the to help me but felt guilty due to Covid so dutifully left at 3am. That has impacted me mentally and physically. Please look into PTSD especially as its opinions that trigger you. That “Dr” who was in a position of trust gave you a very negative opinion and it may be a contributing factor. You’re real and you’re a warrior woman. Please don’t ever stop believing in yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
just looking at how good you was doing and how positive you were makes me smile so so much. i cannot wait till you find this part of you again, because it’s amazing seeing you being yourself xxxxx
Thankyou so much for sharing your story - I as much as many other people REALLY appreciate this! Ihave Gastroparesis and GERD, it took 6 years for me to finnaly get diagnosed being fucked over many times being told it’s in your head or “just ibs” I’m so grateful for you and I look up to you so much! Thankyou for continuing to be your wonderful beautiful self! I love you angel❤️✨xx
Bc I have anxiety since I was 11, it has always been used against me when going to the doctor. I was bed ridden in severe pain bc of hpylori for 2 years prior to being diagnosed because I kept getting sent to psychologists and given anxiety meds. I hope this never happens to anyone and am so thankful you shared your experience
Same because ive gone to the doctors for depression and anxiety from 11 as well everytime i go doctors with something they always say its down to my mental health. When i was suffering from some illnesses the doctor said its all in my head. Its made me not feel comfortable going to the doctors
I’ve been ill since I was a baby, I am gluten free, dairy free, I have dismotility, chronic pain all over my body, hypermobility, asthma, I have to take so many tablets and medication a day, and have recently found out after years of fighting that I have NTM which is a rare lung disease I am now eventually getting put on intense treatment for 2 years but it will make me severely ill, ive been told so many times it’s in my head and I’ve proved them wrong, I’m still very ill and I’m just getting worse and worse, it’s nice to know I’m not alone and I’ll eventually get there, your videos really help me get thru this, thank you so much
Really needed to hear what you said about not caring about what other people think. I love you so much! You're amazing! Please never stop being you Imogen! 💕
It must have been traumatic for you when doctors say it’s all in your head and the tests you had to go repeatedly through. You are so strong and amazing.
I had nasal tubes on and off for a few years and then solidly for over a year and it honestly gets better! I went from having panic attacks at the thought of them to inserting them myself.
I could watch you all day! I swear I go into a trance during your story times, when it ends I can’t believe it! You are amazing and in your words you can get through this! Love you xx
Watching this video made me so sad really shows how mental health and trolls turn things from u being such a happy bubbly person and then a few weeks later can change ur whole life, I'm so so sorry but u will get back there, u always are bubbly even at your worst it just hidden waiting to pop out again. U will get through this and u have come so far. Please continue to fight as u are beautiful sending my love xxxx
I hope when you uploaded this you listened to what you were telling everyone about being strong and how the inside matters. You’re amazing and can get through this xx x
My enema experiences have been horrendous too. The last time I was bent double and my whole body was jolting and dripping in sweat. It was so painful I almost passed out in the toilet and I was basically screaming in pain. Never felt anything like it!! But I didn't realise they'd compared it to a mini child birth! That makes a LOT of sense now lol Literally these videos are so relatable and help me so much knowing others are going through these things and it's not just me and my weird body! Obviously it's not good that people are suffering but it helps mentally when you know you're not alone 💞
Being told it's all in your head is THE WORST. I was told the same about a condition I have and it's SO unbelievably frustrating.. I'm so with you! On a side note, FYI, you totally need to remember to listen to your own brilliant advice - who cares what anyone else thinks?! Beauty is internal 💕
Just be you,that all that matters. When you smile, we all smile. ☺️ Honestly I enjoy watching your CZcams channel as you speak honestly and your bubbly, lovely and funny. We all need imogen in our lives. ❤️ Hope your better than before. Just be you, that's all that we want. Nothing else ❤️😊😘💕💎💗💖💝💓💞🌸🌼❣️💋🦋😍
ugh its so awful to be told "it's all in your head". It feels like the doctors are just giving up on you. It took me several doctors before one finally gave me a diagnosis and it was the exact illness i had asked doctors about years ago.
You have been through so much both physically and mentally. I know you're going through a tough time know but oh my god you should be incredibly proud of yourself for how brilliant and brave you have been. Fuck the haters, you're such a wholesome, warm person xxxx
You’re helping so many people Imogen! I wanted to tell you that you inspire so many people! You’re so lovely and always want to please everyone! Btw I’ve been binging your whole channel in lockdown and you 👏 are 👏 getting 👏 me 👏 through gurrlll! Also where did your mock tail video go? I ADORED that vid 😍 love you ♥️x
Hey Imogen! Your story has upset me sooo much as it resonates so much with me. I have dedicated my channel to being diagnosed with ‘somatic symptom disorder’ which lead to me being suicidal. It’s the worst thing being told that it’s ‘all in your head’. You’re so strong and I am so proud of you!! Xxx
Firstly, WOW your eyes, please can you do a tutorial for your eye makeup?! Also so sorry to hear of your horrific experience. I've experienced doctors saying I'm making it up and I'm 'too young for anything to be wrong' and just to 'take ibuprofen til it goes away' when I had severe hip pain for over 5 years. It took going to A&E in agony and desperation begging for an xray for them to see that yes there was something seriously wrong. Another 2 years later and I finally got surgery to sort it out. It shouldn't take that though.
You always look so beautiful hun! Thank You for sharing this with us all! I am sure this video will help so many people who suffer the same condition or maybe is investigating it! You are an absolute angel! So sorry you do suffer with this condition though hun! Chronic conditions are sometimes so awful to live with, I have endometriosis and I know how hard some days can be for me! Sending you a big virtual hug 💕
Had the exact same thing! Went to hospital a few weeks ago for stomach pain and the surgeon told me I was imagining it! Made a complaint and thankfully he had a talking to by his boss on how to treat patients
My mum is bed-bound needing 24/7 care with a chronic illness and doctors still tell her it’s in her head despite her not being able to walk. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve have the same experience :(
Imogen im glad you have watched this back becuase if there is anything that will help its yourself, the advise you goving in this video you need to play on repeat it may be upsetting for a while but then it will start to sink in. You an amazing person who is very beautifull and smart 😘 everyone needa to be kind but we all need to be kind to our selves sometimes i honestly know how your feeling and if i had 1 little bit of advise it would be start to accept how you are now and when you start feeling a little bit better enjoy the day and it will get better i punished myself for a long time for feeling the way i did i didnt think i deserved to feel low and anxious when there was so many people in worse situations but everyone is on their own path and you carnt judge others for yourself. Love always xxxx
This made me cry . I’ve been in hospital for my ed and depression quite a few times . And no exactly how you feel . Im still insecurebut this video has made me wanna change and not give a fuck what others think of me 💪🏽🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 we can be strong and positive and healthy together 🙏🏻
Oh imo I’m sending you so much love. You don’t even know how loved you are. We are with you along the way to get you back to this again. Sending a massive cuddle 💕💕
this is the imogen we love to see! you happy makes us happy😘 i know it shouldn’t but listening to this makes me apprehensive about this illness, are there any causes i could prevent from doing or is it just rare that you can’t help. remember we love you imo 💜💜
i love you queen, the mocktail video was so good!, this serious makes me feel so not alone with my own stomach issues. you're an angel and i look up to you so much ❤️
om i feel you , i was on and off having constipation for over 9 years . it was awful i was literally on the exact same medication as you ! your so strong and beautiful
I know exactly how you felt, i had a doctor saying that to me too. Sitting in the hospital with a head as big as a melon and the doctor told me that i was perfectly ok. I also left the hospital, went directly to my house Doktor and he sent me to a bigger hospital and after 3 Weeks i knew what i have, and it was not in my head. Love from Switzerland
Always watch your videos as soon as I see them go up! I'm so glad you are starting to feel a bit better and have been uploading again. I'm sending all my love and positivity your way Angel. Alway remeber that rainbows can only exist if it rains🌈 🦋💕
I love you so much you have changed my life for the better and your so inspirational and show me that times can be tough but you can get through things if your stay strong and positive. I have mental health issues so I get very depressed and I'm in a really bad place at the moment, your doing amazing and I just want to let you know that I'm here for you no matter what and we will get through this together. Your the strongest person I know and your videos make me smile when times are tough. I love you so much x
Imogen you should be so proud of yourself. i know i am proud of you. you are always looking stunning and so real. you dont realise the impact you have on people! you truly are an inspiration and a gorgeous well brought up Women!! xx
I love imos videos so much, and her hair in this video looks amazing. as someone that suffers with anxiety her videos are so inspirational to see someone progress like her ❤️
You explained the tube situation so well - I have had that tube down my nose and throat before several times and it’s so horrible. You just want to swallow it or take it out!! You are so so so strong 💜
I was also told it was all in my head (by my school and gp) with my year group head saying I was causing her trouble being unwell. I finally got a diagnosis after lots of waiting and testing! Someone telling you you’re making it up when you feel so unwell and know something isn’t right, makes you feel crazy. Thank you for sharing your experiences xx
Can I just say, how gorgeous you and your makeup is in this video, it’s stunning! Your doing amazing and you can get through this! I/ we all love you 🥰 xx
I really wish you could look at yourself and think “no I am beautiful and nobody will ever put me down” your gorgeous inside and out and you don’t deserve any of this hate from nasty people💗we all love you Imogen👑
Hey Imogen, I hope you are doing OK. I just wanted to say that I got my hoodie on Friday, I am so delighted with it and I really admire you for selling your remaining stock for Mind Charity. I am really glad that I got to donate with you. I only got a chance to watch your video today. It was great, you were great. I know it was before everything happened, but I know that you can get back to yourself. 💜 Take care and Stay Safe. 💜
Always here for you Imogen, you’re amazing! I can relate to you so much, I have ulcerative colitis, your videos really help bring light into my life. I love you❤️
This was so weird for me to watch. I have such a similar story to you of people saying it's in my head and stuff but it's about something completely different. I have spinal problems. The fact that we have such vastly different problems but were told the same thing is awful and it must happen to so many more people out there. For anyone else reading this that's going through something similar....never give up on yourself, you know your own body!! Imogen you need to watch this kind of stuff back and realise you've been through so so much and are so strong so what you're going through right now...you WILL get through and come out the other side. Lots of love xxx
You are so amazing. I am proud of you, I believe in you and I know you will get through this. You look so beautiful as always. Your eye makeup looks stunning❤️🥰
Watching this back makes me sad, I look so bubbly and happy here! THANKS FOR STICKING BY ME! I love you ❤️
Love you Imo so much xxxxxxx
I love you so much angel ❤️❤️❤️
You’ll get back to you, a little tlc & time 💗💗
we love you babyyyyy
We're so proud of you :))) xxx
As a nurse, it breaks my heart that you had this experience! I’m appalled that the consultant told you it was all in your head and was so patronising about it!! Also, Imogen please rewatch this video and listen to own advice. You have the kindest heart and it’s not right that you’re struggling! I’m rooting for you gal! You WILL get back to feeling 100% amazing again 🥰💕
I got told for 10 years the my pain was all in my head turned out it was endometriosis so I completely sympathise! Sending all the love 💜
I went through something very similar except it wasn’t physical pain it was my mental health. After years of being invalidated by pretty much every person that I opened up to, I decided to take things into my own hands. The nhs failed me, so I decided to get a formal diagnosis. It was the best £400 i’ve ever spent. At least now I know whats wrong with me and I can finally understand myself.

I have a family history of Endo and every symptom that comes with it. It is agonising. But the doctors don’t want to do anything 😔
I really wish you still had this mindset that you're talking about in the video, you're worth so much more than the trolls❤️
Hi imogen, I don't know if you'll ever see this and can only hope that you do! But I just want to let you know just how beautiful you are both inside and out. I have severe anxiety disorder and yet, your energy, personality, charisma and everything you bring to your videos and photos have be in complete bliss in that moment. I don't want you to listen to any words that aren't positive going forward, because I am telling you here and now, that you are beyond special. You have helped people in ways you'll never even know.

Have you ever been tested for coeliac disease? Just a simple blood test

my cousin actually just got diagnosed with it yesterday. my mom is finally taking me to get tested soon.

I just love how she is so chatty and always goes off on little tangents lol. It's so entertaining and cute! ♥️💕💖

That speech about how what you look like isn’t what defines you is the most inspiring thing! You are amazing xxx
I love your story times so so much, I've missed them a lot ❤
Watching this video shows how strong you've always been and proves you can navigate your way through anything.. Just remember that ♥

I cannot thank you enough for being such a great role model for others who have struggled with mental health and also for speaking out on the BLM movement, it is so important to bring recognition to these issues!! I love you beyond words! xxx
I don’t know how you got through all this hospital trauma you’re such an incredible person!! Love you loads and I hope your mental health recovery is still progressing. You’re an angel ❤️❤️❤️
thankyou for the "we can get through this" at the end. i needed that today. my mental health has taken a pluuungeee so thankyou! 😔🥺💖💖
Thank you sweetheart for still posting this. The first thing that struck me is whether retelling the “experience” has triggered PTSD? What you went through was horrendous and terrifying and confusing. I’m 45 and have had stomach issues for years and they’re are getting worse. My son has to be connected to a bowel flush ( mechanical enema) to empty his bowels. I recently got taken to hospital for severe pain, I hadn’t eaten for nearly a week.. I was told your bloods are fine, go home. I was devastated as I wanted to scream at the to help me but felt guilty due to Covid so dutifully left at 3am. That has impacted me mentally and physically. Please look into PTSD especially as its opinions that trigger you. That “Dr” who was in a position of trust gave you a very negative opinion and it may be a contributing factor. You’re real and you’re a warrior woman. Please don’t ever stop believing in yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
just looking at how good you was doing and how positive you were makes me smile so so much. i cannot wait till you find this part of you again, because it’s amazing seeing you being yourself xxxxx
Thankyou so much for sharing your story - I as much as many other people REALLY appreciate this! Ihave Gastroparesis and GERD, it took 6 years for me to finnaly get diagnosed being fucked over many times being told it’s in your head or “just ibs” I’m so grateful for you and I look up to you so much!
Thankyou for continuing to be your wonderful beautiful self! I love you angel❤️✨xx
These story times help me so so much as someone who struggles with a chronic condition its really rare to be able to relate to people! Thank you!!
Bc I have anxiety since I was 11, it has always been used against me when going to the doctor. I was bed ridden in severe pain bc of hpylori for 2 years prior to being diagnosed because I kept getting sent to psychologists and given anxiety meds. I hope this never happens to anyone and am so thankful you shared your experience
Same because ive gone to the doctors for depression and anxiety from 11 as well everytime i go doctors with something they always say its down to my mental health. When i was suffering from some illnesses the doctor said its all in my head. Its made me not feel comfortable going to the doctors
Katariina Alvez so sorry that happened to you as well but relieved I can relate to someone!
I’ve been ill since I was a baby, I am gluten free, dairy free, I have dismotility, chronic pain all over my body, hypermobility, asthma, I have to take so many tablets and medication a day, and have recently found out after years of fighting that I have NTM which is a rare lung disease I am now eventually getting put on intense treatment for 2 years but it will make me severely ill, ive been told so many times it’s in my head and I’ve proved them wrong, I’m still very ill and I’m just getting worse and worse, it’s nice to know I’m not alone and I’ll eventually get there, your videos really help me get thru this, thank you so much
healing takes time, you got to go through your bad days to see the good. I’m so incredibly proud of you everyday❤️
Really needed to hear what you said about not caring about what other people think. I love you so much! You're amazing! Please never stop being you Imogen! 💕
You poor angel. I have IBS and it's been really bad lately. Constipation is absolutely horrific. Love you ❤️ stay strong xx
It must have been traumatic for you when doctors say it’s all in your head and the tests you had to go repeatedly through. You are so strong and amazing.
Let the haters hate don’t let them get you down you are a beautiful woman with a good and kind heart I find your videos really inspirational ❤️xxx
I had nasal tubes on and off for a few years and then solidly for over a year and it honestly gets better! I went from having panic attacks at the thought of them to inserting them myself.
Why did you delete your mocktail video? It was so good and I wanted to watch it again! Made me laugh so much ❤️❤️
I agree. It was so nice to see you starting to become you again!!
I missed it 😣😣😣😣😣
Mary Isaac it was really good, just a silly video. Shame she’s taken it down :(
Oh thats a shame:-( and I missed it
I missed it ☹
I could watch you all day! I swear I go into a trance during your story times, when it ends I can’t believe it! You are amazing and in your words you can get through this! Love you xx
Your story is so crazy and the fact the told you it was in your head..love you angel 🤍
Watching this video made me so sad really shows how mental health and trolls turn things from u being such a happy bubbly person and then a few weeks later can change ur whole life, I'm so so sorry but u will get back there, u always are bubbly even at your worst it just hidden waiting to pop out again. U will get through this and u have come so far. Please continue to fight as u are beautiful sending my love xxxx
I hope when you uploaded this you listened to what you were telling everyone about being strong and how the inside matters. You’re amazing and can get through this xx x
So lovely to see you being your normal self ! Cannot wait to see you better than ever!
Storms are only temporary, the sun will soon shine ❤️❤️
Looking forward to watching! So so proud of you and how much you’ve gone through makes you so much stronger xxxx I love you💘
I had such a good day yesterday. Finally feeling content ❤️ filling my day with laughter always helps xx
Always believe in yourself and don't listen to the horrible people. All the huns are here for u. Love u xxxxx
Ahhh what a cliff hanger Imogen! I love you're videos and the story times especially!
You’re so beautiful I love all your videos and will be here supporting you through all of them, the highs and the lows. Be proud of yourself Imogen xx
My enema experiences have been horrendous too. The last time I was bent double and my whole body was jolting and dripping in sweat. It was so painful I almost passed out in the toilet and I was basically screaming in pain. Never felt anything like it!!
But I didn't realise they'd compared it to a mini child birth! That makes a LOT of sense now lol
Literally these videos are so relatable and help me so much knowing others are going through these things and it's not just me and my weird body! Obviously it's not good that people are suffering but it helps mentally when you know you're not alone 💞
Girl I’m always here to support you forever and we all are 💗💗💗
Being told it's all in your head is THE WORST. I was told the same about a condition I have and it's SO unbelievably frustrating.. I'm so with you!
On a side note, FYI, you totally need to remember to listen to your own brilliant advice - who cares what anyone else thinks?! Beauty is internal 💕
I totally agree with you, beauty comes from within and I really needed to hear that. Love you Imogen 💗Sending you the biggest of hugs xx
Just be you,that all that matters. When you smile, we all smile. ☺️ Honestly I enjoy watching your CZcams channel as you speak honestly and your bubbly, lovely and funny. We all need imogen in our lives. ❤️ Hope your better than before. Just be you, that's all that we want. Nothing else ❤️😊😘💕💎💗💖💝💓💞🌸🌼❣️💋🦋😍
ugh its so awful to be told "it's all in your head". It feels like the doctors are just giving up on you. It took me several doctors before one finally gave me a diagnosis and it was the exact illness i had asked doctors about years ago.
You have been through so much both physically and mentally. I know you're going through a tough time know but oh my god you should be incredibly proud of yourself for how brilliant and brave you have been. Fuck the haters, you're such a wholesome, warm person xxxx
You’re helping so many people Imogen! I wanted to tell you that you inspire so many people! You’re so lovely and always want to please everyone! Btw I’ve been binging your whole channel in lockdown and you 👏 are 👏 getting 👏 me 👏 through gurrlll! Also where did your mock tail video go? I ADORED that vid 😍 love you ♥️x
I appreciate this video having crohns disease myself, knowone talks about issues like this enough love you xxxxxxx ❤️
Hey Imogen! Your story has upset me sooo much as it resonates so much with me. I have dedicated my channel to being diagnosed with ‘somatic symptom disorder’ which lead to me being suicidal. It’s the worst thing being told that it’s ‘all in your head’. You’re so strong and I am so proud of you!! Xxx
Firstly, WOW your eyes, please can you do a tutorial for your eye makeup?!
Also so sorry to hear of your horrific experience. I've experienced doctors saying I'm making it up and I'm 'too young for anything to be wrong' and just to 'take ibuprofen til it goes away' when I had severe hip pain for over 5 years. It took going to A&E in agony and desperation begging for an xray for them to see that yes there was something seriously wrong. Another 2 years later and I finally got surgery to sort it out. It shouldn't take that though.
i could listen to you speak for hours omg, cant wait for the next one! i cannnot believe the hell you went through, it sounds absolutely horrendous :(
You always look so beautiful hun! Thank
You for sharing this with us all! I am sure this video will help so many people who suffer the same condition or maybe is investigating it! You are an absolute angel! So sorry you do suffer with this condition though hun! Chronic conditions are sometimes so awful to live with, I have endometriosis and I know how hard some days can be for me! Sending you a big virtual hug 💕
I know you’re not in the same mindset right now but please stay strong. You have so much support around you 💛
Had the exact same thing! Went to hospital a few weeks ago for stomach pain and the surgeon told me I was imagining it! Made a complaint and thankfully he had a talking to by his boss on how to treat patients
i rly hope u get back to feeling this way soon, u are amazing
My mum is bed-bound needing 24/7 care with a chronic illness and doctors still tell her it’s in her head despite her not being able to walk. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve have the same experience :(
Thank you for sharing this with us, it really helps 🥺❤️❤️
AAAHHHH THE CLIFFHANGERS I CANNOT!!!! such a strong woman you’ve done amazing Imogen! 💙💙💙
Imogen im glad you have watched this back becuase if there is anything that will help its yourself, the advise you goving in this video you need to play on repeat it may be upsetting for a while but then it will start to sink in. You an amazing person who is very beautifull and smart 😘 everyone needa to be kind but we all need to be kind to our selves sometimes i honestly know how your feeling and if i had 1 little bit of advise it would be start to accept how you are now and when you start feeling a little bit better enjoy the day and it will get better i punished myself for a long time for feeling the way i did i didnt think i deserved to feel low and anxious when there was so many people in worse situations but everyone is on their own path and you carnt judge others for yourself. Love always xxxx
This made me cry . I’ve been in hospital for my ed and depression quite a few times . And no exactly how you feel . Im still insecurebut this video has made me wanna change and not give a fuck what others think of me 💪🏽🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 we can be strong and positive and healthy together 🙏🏻
Oh imo I’m sending you so much love. You don’t even know how loved you are. We are with you along the way to get you back to this again. Sending a massive cuddle 💕💕
I love your storytimes so much!! You are so brave and these storytimes literally highlight it ❤️❤️. I love you so much xx
So sorry that you went through, and still go through this😔 so so so proud of you for sharing this story. Keep shining baby girl, love you xxx
I would love it if she maybe did a story time on her dancing as I’m a dancer so would love to see that 💓
And your cupboard opening, 😂 sounds like my over packed wardrobe lol
this is the imogen we love to see! you happy makes us happy😘 i know it shouldn’t but listening to this makes me apprehensive about this illness, are there any causes i could prevent from doing or is it just rare that you can’t help. remember we love you imo 💜💜
i love you queen, the mocktail video was so good!, this serious makes me feel so not alone with my own stomach issues. you're an angel and i look up to you so much ❤️
om i feel you , i was on and off having constipation for over 9 years . it was awful i was literally on the exact same medication as you ! your so strong and beautiful
I know exactly how you felt, i had a doctor saying that to me too. Sitting in the hospital with a head as big as a melon and the doctor told me that i was perfectly ok. I also left the hospital, went directly to my house Doktor and he sent me to a bigger hospital and after 3 Weeks i knew what i have, and it was not in my head. Love from Switzerland
You look absolutely stunning in this💜💜
Always watch your videos as soon as I see them go up! I'm so glad you are starting to feel a bit better and have been uploading again. I'm sending all my love and positivity your way Angel. Alway remeber that rainbows can only exist if it rains🌈 🦋💕
I love you so much you have changed my life for the better and your so inspirational and show me that times can be tough but you can get through things if your stay strong and positive. I have mental health issues so I get very depressed and I'm in a really bad place at the moment, your doing amazing and I just want to let you know that I'm here for you no matter what and we will get through this together. Your the strongest person I know and your videos make me smile when times are tough. I love you so much x
Imogen you should be so proud of yourself. i know i am proud of you. you are always looking stunning and so real. you dont realise the impact you have on people! you truly are an inspiration and a gorgeous well brought up Women!! xx
I love imos videos so much, and her hair in this video looks amazing. as someone that suffers with anxiety her videos are so inspirational to see someone progress like her ❤️
You explained the tube situation so well - I have had that tube down my nose and throat before several times and it’s so horrible. You just want to swallow it or take it out!! You are so so so strong 💜
I was also told it was all in my head (by my school and gp) with my year group head saying I was causing her trouble being unwell. I finally got a diagnosis after lots of waiting and testing! Someone telling you you’re making it up when you feel so unwell and know something isn’t right, makes you feel crazy. Thank you for sharing your experiences xx
You look beyond beautiful in this video😍I hope your doing ok💕we’re all behind you xx
Can I just say, how gorgeous you and your makeup is in this video, it’s stunning! Your doing amazing and you can get through this! I/ we all love you 🥰 xx
I really wish you could look at yourself and think “no I am beautiful and nobody will ever put me down” your gorgeous inside and out and you don’t deserve any of this hate from nasty people💗we all love you Imogen👑
Hey Imogen, I hope you are doing OK. I just wanted to say that I got my hoodie on Friday, I am so delighted with it and I really admire you for selling your remaining stock for Mind Charity. I am really glad that I got to donate with you. I only got a chance to watch your video today. It was great, you were great. I know it was before everything happened, but I know that you can get back to yourself. 💜 Take care and Stay Safe. 💜
I totally understand you! My dad is disabled and told it was all in his head. You’re doing so well sweetie❤️
I’ve said this before but I am so so sorry you’re going through this 💗 thinking of you and sending you so much love. Stay safe 💜
This video was just what I needed (going through some health issues right now so I can relate a lot). Love you so much ❤️, Imogen!
It‘s Crazy... I think I am experiencing it right now. I am in so much pain.. headaches, stomach aches, idk. Needed this video! Love u
Always here for you Imogen, you’re amazing! I can relate to you so much, I have ulcerative colitis, your videos really help bring light into my life. I love you❤️
Hearing this just emphasises once again how strong you are. Love you xx
This was so weird for me to watch. I have such a similar story to you of people saying it's in my head and stuff but it's about something completely different. I have spinal problems. The fact that we have such vastly different problems but were told the same thing is awful and it must happen to so many more people out there. For anyone else reading this that's going through something similar....never give up on yourself, you know your own body!!
Imogen you need to watch this kind of stuff back and realise you've been through so so much and are so strong so what you're going through right now...you WILL get through and come out the other side. Lots of love xxx
I love that you are slowly getting better and better and stronger and I love you so much 💞💞
You are so amazing. I am proud of you, I believe in you and I know you will get through this. You look so beautiful as always. Your eye makeup looks stunning❤️🥰
