I’m overwhelmed with the amount of support I’m receiving on this video. I have no words. I want to thank you all for being here and sending me so much light. It means the world to me. To anyone who has shared their own struggles on mental health in the comment section, I appreciate you and your willingness to be open here on my channel. It's helping me immensely and I'm sure that it's helping others feel less alone as well. You guys give me a sense of purpose and for that I’m so so grateful. Thank you 🖤
We love you so much Sophie! You are not alone! We will always be here to hear you out! and being blessed in other areas of our life’s doesn’t make us less human! And is ok to not be ok regardless! We feel! And i want you to know that at least in my part, i see beyond the things you have! I see you! And thats why i will continue to support you! We love you! Sending you love and light to you always!
My husband is going through and describes depression exactly as you have, the self doubt, sadness, low self esteem, imposter syndrome (possibly for you too?). He’s been seeing a therapist for a year and it has made a huge difference. Don’t beat yourself up, more people are going through the same thing no matter their position/ situation. Sending you a virtual hug and love ❤️. You’ll get there 😘
I'm 53 and can relate with what you have shared been following you for many years. Continue sharing your thoughts and you be reaching more people than you can imagine. Much love and support
Do you pray? It’s been a rough 2 years and I know I would not be able to make it through without my faith. Please don’t hurt yourself if you are thinking like that. Please continue to reach out to people you love. I am praying for you 🙏🏻
I’m 74 years old. I’ve been watching you for over a year. You are so wonderful, authentic and full of life...an amazing woman. I wish I had been like you when I was young. I too was secretly very sad. I covered it by shopping. I wish I could go back an really appreciate being alone. I deserved to love myself. I always wanted someone else to do that. You are beautiful inside and out in SO many ways. Your job is to appreciate that with each breath you take.You look like a wonderful combination of your parents. Looking in the mirror, what could be more beautiful than that? “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all”. It’s a life challenge for most. Don’t wait until you are 74.
To say the words "I'm depressed", that's the most bravest thing ever, knowing the kind of judgemental world we live in. But seeing all these comments is proof that you are not alone. I pray for your mental strength and peace.
New subscriber here. As a 24 year old male, I too experienced loneliness when I was living on my own. I also don’t have close relatives nearby and my friendships had a fallout. I’m pretty lonely if you ask me. I too kept myself busy with work and working out, but to point out from the video, I do all that, just to not be in my own thoughts. I overthink a lot and being alone for a long time is scary. I’m too, a functional sad person but I try to work with myself slowly, opening up and talking to selective personnel, do my hobbies, and to just be patient with it. It’s a battle and there’s a whole lot of things for me to endure and figure out, but I remind myself that it will all be good one day. To end on optimism : There’s always something beautiful after the end of the war.
Completely feel you. I was in that stage. Journaling my feelings out, hug myself in front of a mirror & saying “I love you, I am your biggest supporter” has helped me a lot. Now I have such good relationship w myself & rarely feel alone. Of course I do feel lonely sometimes, but I’m not scared anymore about those times because I know I got my back & I can always reach out to ppl.🙏
I’m currently feeling similarly! I lost almost 90% of the friends I had during the pandemic. I’m on a journey of self discovery and enjoying my own company. Some days are easy, some are not. It’s hard to not compare. I hope you find your light at the end of the tunnel. Happiness does not last forever neither does sadness.
Sometimes just talking out loud is exactly what you need. It’s cathartic. I find that I get into these moments just before my birthday. Usually two or three months prior. ❤️ being open and in tune is a saving grace. Don’t ever let anyone stop you from expressing yourself. It’s the path to better days. Sending you love and light.
I love you, Sophia. You have made a huge difference in my life. I think about all the negative parts of social media often. If I wasn’t on CZcams, I wouldn’t have met you, though! Every time we talk, I am so glad that we met. ❤️
Sophia, I really appreciate you being honest. The first video of yours I ever watched was "My Self-Love Ritual | Going Through Hard Times" from Feb 2019 and it came to me when I was dealing with an excruciating breakup. I'm sorry you have to worry about people judging you when you're just keeping it real with us, which is what I would prefer, and I think many others do too. We all go through ups and downs and the internet should reflect that reality. Thank you for being vulnerable.
"I cannot help that I am feeling this way." Perfectly said, and I hope that when times are hard, you can remind yourself of this and give yourself the space to simply feel. The pain and heaviness that we feel when we feel sad is already hard enough, and laying guilt on top of that would be too much to bear. Feeling how you feel is completely within your right. Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability with us - it truly is an honour to get to know this side of you. I hope you'll find light and peace, starting in small pockets, and more and more as the time passes. All the best with the inner work you do, during and between your therapy sessions. I send you all my love Soph. 🤍
I love how open and transparent you always are with us. I appreciate your honesty and trust me you aren’t the only one feeling these ups and downs of life. Just remember you’re doing better than you’re feeling 💜💜
Just because you might ‘have it all’ doesn’t mean you can’t suffer with your mental health. As anyone knows, none of that stuff even matters when your health is suffering. Please know that you are an amazing person that so many of us admire! It breaks my heart to think you hate yourself. You are such an incredible person inside and out! Thank you for opening up to us, sometimes it helps just to speak openly about how you’re feeling. Your feelings are valid and you are so loved by everyone around you xxxx
I cried with you… I’ve been feeling quite unhappy with myself lately and lonely, hearing u voice our ur emotions made me not feel alone in a a way. Thank you Sophia
I can't even imagine what it must be like to feel exposed publically. I remember years ago when I was in a dark place and played your video on your heartbreak and it really helped me through one of the lowest times in life. You may not know but your vulnerability helped me so much when I felt so alone and broken. So now that I am feeling better and happier I want to thank you for giving me that strength when I needed it. You're not alone, sending you so much love and strength
Thank you for sharing and making us all feel less alone. A lot of times people ask why I watch vlogs on CZcams... and I think it is for that reason, you're able to find someone you can relate to.
I know how much easier it can be to only show yourself and your life as a highlight reel on social media, but I appreciate you being so transparent and open with the hard times too. It gives me perspective and helps me not glamorize your career or your life - A reminder that everyone is human. Thank you for your courage ❤️
This video is exactly what I needed and I commend you for being so vulnerable! I remember times when I would feel sad about life, and then get mad at myself for even being sad because I thought I was “privileged”. Thus, telling myself I didn’t even deserve to feel sad. It’s a vicious cycle that our brain makes up. I’m sending you so much love and I hope opening up on your platform can help with your healing ❤️
This video came at such a perfect time. For the past few months I've been dealing with a lot of intrusive thoughts as well as emotional numbness at the same time if that makes sense??? Recent life events have left me feeling like a failure especially in the last few weeks, but I also kick myself because I've had an objectively good life so why am I not happy? Sophia, thank you so much for opening up and sharing your feelings with us. It really made me feel less alone, and I hope we all can heal and grow stronger from this. Sending you all the love
Sophia, I’m so, so sorry to hear that you’re struggling this deeply, but do appreciate how transparent you’re being about your mental and emotional health. Sending good vibes your way ✨🌞
Girllll I've been feeling the same way. Such a strange and heavy feeling that you can't make go away. Soo amazing that you reached out to a therapist. I think it's super important to be have an outlet to talk about it because it can swallow you up and eat you whole. Don't ever lose contact with your loved ones - spend that time and even open up to them if they're willing. Sending lots of love ✨❤️
Hi Sophia - It takes courage, strength and being brave to be vulnerable with others especially publicly to a bigger audience. No doubt that this resonates with everyone who is watching this video in one form or another. The thoughts, feelings and emotions that you are experiencing are valid and do not need to be justified. It is part of your journey and part of being human. Unfortunately, there does come criticism, often baseless, unwarranted, unjust and lacking empathy and kindness, from others as well as how we speak to ourselves. You can be truly grateful for the gifts and privileges we have in life and also be tackling challenging times including dealing with anxiety and depression. It is important to find what works for us, and it is great to see that exercising has been providing a safe and positive space for you mentally, physically and spiritually. It is great that you are going to therapy as well. It seems that there are some triggering situations and circumstances that you are going through and in time you will be able to deal with these effectively. Wishing you all the very best in your journey and be as kind, compassionate, and empathetic to yourself as you can be. xx Stay safe and well xx
I really resonate with the particular struggle of dealing with mental health being a catch 22. Its like, often sparked by not being good enough to where you want to be. But then having good mental health is another thing to do a good job at, and another thing to feel shit about when you’re failing. But then that mindset of like “I need to do better at this” is what sparks a lot of pain in the first place. It’s so hard. I think at a certain point, you can use every tool you have, but sadness, anxiety, and depression, are just a fact of the human experience. You’re not alone ❤️ and you will feel better. Wishing you well
Your transparency is appreciated. Thank you for providing content, even when you’re not your best mentally. I’ve been in a state of consistent sadness for a few weeks. The advice that I’m getting is “your life is great, you have no reason to be unhappy.” But like you, I want to be happy and I can’t help that I’m feeling this way. Thank you a million times, I don’t know if this helped but it made me feel a lot less ungrateful. Sending well wishes ❤️
Sophie…words cannot express how hard you hit home with this video AND how much you are not alone. ~You grow through what you go through~ and you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability here and for being you. Thank you for letting us experience the highs and lows of life with you. Thank you for blessing us with your talent every time you create something no matter how big or small, because each time it helps one more person feel less alone and that makes all the difference in their world. Just like the difference it makes during the hour you feel at complete peace while hitting your PR’s. I’ve experienced the same recently with running and I’m so glad you’re feeling proud. Cause I too am turning 30 in March and I feel you. Loneliness, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, uncertainty, and fear. Feeling behind. Feeling not enough. Then feeling silly for feeling this way given everything we have. It helps to recognize that we have the choice to focus on what we have or don’t have. It helps to recognize that it’s okay to feel this way during such a transitional period in our lives, so actually we deserve to be kinder to ourselves. And it helps to recognize that although this self-work feels like purposely walking into fire, somehow we know that this fire will be so worth it in time. I hope in knowing this, it gives you strength 🤍 love you so much!
It’s so interesting how we can look at others and not understand what they could possibly not like about themselves, why they would ever not see the value in themselves or their bodies. I mean that it’s easier to uplift others than it is ourselves sometimes. Like we Can wish so much that you could be happy, you could know how good your videos make us feel, you could know how many people admire your body, and you work hard, you’re talented at making videos, you are dedicated, shown by how you learned to skate. You have a lovely singing voice. You have an awesome personality, your goofy footage with your family is everything. And having said all that, your feelings are more than valid. Just a month ago I felt like the lowest creature on earth. It comes and goes for me basically. I have anxiety, when I get overwhelmed I can barely handle the emotions and it’s a terrible feeling to feel so unhappy and low. So I just wish you all the best, I hope the therapy does you well. Always supporting and watching! I know it may be lonely living alone. But I think so many positive things will come your way, for sure, hang on 🧡. And you’re enough as you are. Even if times are hard or easy, wishing you inner peace and calm, just as I wish it for myself 😊
I also want to echo a few here - pandemic depression, languishing, is real. In some cases it’s not you, it’s a reflection of what we’re going through as a society. Sending love and hugs to all going through this 🙏🏽
Girl, I feel you and I’ve been there. Honestly therapy has helped me so much. It’s a good outlet. Keep your head up❤️ things will be better, there’s no timeline for anything, you got this!!
Sophia, I'm also turning 30 this year and I related to a lot that you said. I've been feeling very down lately and have also become a high functioning depressed person too. But truly celebrate achievements, big or small. You deserve to be kind to yourself. Let's just blame this on it being a quarter life crisis.
I think our minds can trick us into thinking vulnerability is defeat. If we open up we are just opening the gates of judgment. But in reality, it is so so freeing. Letting out those thoughts and feelings that have been building up for so long is the ultimate sign of growth, strength, and healing. You are so inspiring, and beautiful inside and out. Letting your heart feel will only make you stronger. You’re not alone.❤️
oh sophie…🥺 your couch chat about being hard on yourself, those feelings of being lost, and denying yourself those feelings because you feel too privileged… i’ve been there. i’ve totally been there. looking in mirror and hating everything i see…i’ve been there. but there comes a day when you look in the mirror and you don’t hate everything that you see. there comes a day when the voice in your head is kinder to you. there comes a day when you feel proud of how far you come, and grateful for your privileges rather than letting it drive you into deeper depression. but it takes so, so, so much work and therapy and reflection and you’re doing *all* of that. as someone who struggled with those mental blocks (and will likely struggle again!) and that deep depression, i’m so grateful for your vulnerability. and i’m rooting for you. ❤️❤️❤️ love from a longtime viewer.
Thank you for being so vulnerable. I was feeling the same way, and to have been able to watch you open up about your obstacles made me feel less isolated. It’s so admirable that you have been so proactive about your mental health (exercising, going to therapy…). Keep finding the joy in the little things and the every day achievements. 💕
I feel this overwhelmed all the time and I’m glad someone is sharing it on this platform. There are days when you just feel sad and you just don’t what to do about it but cry it out. I’ve learned to just let myself feel, pray and try my best not to talk to myself negatively. I hope you’re feeling much better. It’s an every day process and training to get your brain in a positive place.
I’ve been watching you since the beginning of your high school days and I feel so grateful and proud of you that you shared your most vulnerable clips bc I know how much your privacy and vulnerability means to you. But I want to remind you that these videos hit more and shows how truly powerful of a woman you are. Thank you for sharing. I wish you the utmost happiness. Love you, Sophie!
Sending love. I enjoy your videos especially the ones with your family. I recently lost my dad and all I can say is this life is sooooo short, let it out. When we know what we don’t want we figure out what we do want, being able to be ok alone, embracing your inner introvert, becoming the partner you desire rids us of lack and self doubt. It’s a heavy process but it becomes lighter and lighter and eventually becomes a new normal. Everyday moments of happiness and gratitude ♥️ you got this
Happy is a big step, because with anxious thoughts and a heavy heart happiness is soured into bittersweet. Maybe a smaller more peaceful step is present, and then to content, and then happy. 2021 was an incredibly hard year and there are stretches of time I don’t really remember. Sending love and light your way, I hope you can rest and rebuild in a way that you’re proud of, like your physical strength 🤍
Crying with you. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable, it feels comforting to know that there is someone out there that feels exactly the same way I feel. You are so brilliant and special!
I really feel for you, and I see so much of myself in this video. It’s kind of a trip to see a version of me through someone else. One thing that helped me (and still does) was to release myself from thinking that my bad days are a failure of some kind on my part-trying to make myself happy when I knew I wasn’t made me exhausted, and the more I resisted my negative emotions, the more they took over my life. It’s okay that this is your life right now, and it’s okay that it hurts-go with it, not against it-don’t judge yourself, only nurture yourself. There will be another season in your life, so allow yourself to grieve the end of this one. It will get better, trust. I’m sending you lots of love, and light on your journey-I have so much faith in you that you will make it through this. 🖤
I want to share my sister's journey with depression. My sister is such a positive light in my life, my biggest blessing. She has mentored me throughout all of my hard times and is basically my 2nd mom. She is in her mid-30's and I'm in my 20's. She has a well-paying job, is happily married and has 5 beautiful children. And she suffers from depression. She told me depression feels like waking up some mornings and not having the will or motivation to do anything yet alone get out of bed. And that all of these negative thoughts just start piling up in your head until your in such a mental space it almpst paralyzes you. It would keep her from enjoying life at times. I have never heard her talk negatively about life to me, but after explaining how she would feel at times - I can see how it can be lonely. Because even though she is surrounded by so many people who love her, it really is a mental issue. It's not her fault. And she tries everyday, to get out of bed and keep nobing forward. Her toddler son who wakes her up every morning with a morning hug gives her reason. Her family who loves her more than anything gives her reason. And tries everyday. I pray for you Soph. I pray for your heart, your mind, your soul. You are so much stronger than you could ever know and you are so loved. And despite all of these feelings and thoughts ypu have - you still get up. And you move forward. Sending you an abundance of love and peace. ❤
I feel when we are alone we really get to see what goes on in our minds. I think it’s part of the process of healing our inner selves. Be patient with yourself and you’ll learn so much from yourself. Crying is very therapeutic and there’s nothing wrong with it. You are amazing, deserving of anything you want in life. Keep your head up Sophie! 💖
I’ve never related to a video so much. I couldn’t stop bawling my eyes out. Thank you so much for this. I really really really needed this ❤️ You’re such a kind soul and I wish you the very best!
Sending you and everyone who’s been dealing with mental health with lots of love! It’s definitely rough and may feel isolating, debilitating and overall rough. I’ve been officially diagnosed with OCD and for the past couple of months (almost half a year) I’ve been dealing with sexual intrusive thoughts. So I understand how it feels when those unwanted voices and feelings are loud. My hope for everyone struggling is to eventually find happiness again. It really hits home when you said “I just want to feel happy again”.. because I so want to feel that again 😔 stay strong all 💞
You are okay Sophia! You are great! You are powerful! Sometimes writing how I'm feeling and all my thoughts either if its good or bad down onto a paper and then go back to read it atleast 3 times, that makes me feel better about the situation. You are amazing and is okay where you're at. Be happy babe. Enjoy life! I love you! You're not alone. I am going through what you are going through too. This quote alway keep me going when I think negative of things " if you don't like it then change the way you think about it." Change that negative thought around and see the positive of it. I hope I helped you like you helped me throughout the years. I wish I can give you a hug and keep you company. Always remember I'm here with you. ❤ There is more to life than this.
Sending virtual hugs 🥺 this is so relatable, Sophia. Everything can be so fine and good when you’re around people, and it’s those times when you’re alone with your thoughts that it just comes crashing down. I’ve been watching your videos for 10 years now and I really wish nothing be the best for you. I hope you can get past this soon 💛
I can relate so much to everything you have said. In life there will always be someone happier or sadder, more privileged or less privileged. You have every right to feel everything you are feeling. I was feeling like this all of last year and am now only seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You are amazing and I know you will figure everything out ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Being vulnerable and sharing what you feel takes a lot of strength and courage. You make us feel like we are not alone and we want you to know, you are not alone. Sending all the love and positive healing vibes your way.
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your vulnerable thoughts, it really helped me to feel connected to others. I've been feeling the same way lately and so I just wanted to thank you for being a voice in times of loneliness, or struggle. I hope you continue to share your internal thoughts with us as much as you feel
Hi Soph, I’ve deeply struggled with negative intrusive thoughts for as long as I could remember and I suffer from anxiety & depression. It’s so incredibly hard to get out of that headspace but we can do it. I recommend actively reframing your thoughts to be more positive (easier said than done ofc) but it’s all about being consistent, and your mindset and thoughts will eventually shift. I’m still working on it myself. And remember to be kind to yourself on this journey. I also have the five minute journal and two quotes that stuck out to me were “this moment is not your life, it’s just a moment in your life” and “it gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day, that’s the hard part.” One last thing - your feelings are absolutely valid. It’s okay to be vulnerable, if people judge you, that’s them projecting their issues/insecurities onto you. Sending love ❤️
Honestly, I think being completely comfortable in your own loneliness is something really hard to accomplish, especially if you once were used to be surrounded with people. In my opinion, every single person has a phase in their life that's filled with doubt and negativity about everything including ourselves, maybe it's even an ongoing circle that's part of our lives during our time on earth. You're not alone Sophie, I've been through the exact same and many are going through it right now. But one thing is for sure and it's that it gets better with time, and just like going to the gym, you won't see the results every day but one day you'll realize that you are genuinely happy with who you are, you will look back at how tough the road was to get there and it'll make you prouder ❤️ while then, feel free to cry your heart out and come to share it us whenever you feel like doing it ✨
Thank you for being vulnerable. My boyfriend and I were watching this and he’s going through a rough patch right now mentally. Everything you said was really relatable. Keep your head up and we’re rooting for you!
It's okay to feel like a mess and be sad. But remember that you're loved by your YT community and clearly by your fam and friends. Thank you for sharing what you're going through. Hope you feel good soon
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I resonate so much with you when you said “I just want to be happy”. I’ve been struggling with my own mental health for the last year and it just feels like a never ending battle. Know that you’re not alone and even in the most darkest times there will always be light. Sending you love from Australia.
never ever feel like you can't have your own mental problems or situations because you "have it all" we're all human and no matter how fortunate some people can be everyone is allowed to have emotions and struggle. i'm glad you spoke about this but never feel guilty. you can be appreciative of what you have and also acknowledge that you're struggling mentally. i hope you feel better sophie
Love how honest you are. Material things aren’t everything so your feelings/journey is valid. I hope you find that self-love within. Thank you for being vulnerable. It’s inspiring.
I feel you girl. I feel like life is getting tough esp when we don’t go out as often like before COVID happened. I hope you find your happiness. I’m so glad you opened up to your followers. You’ve shared so much before and I’m glad you’re finding something you get to do for yourself. You go girl! That’s amazing. I wish I could squat that much 💪🏼
Sophia my heart broke when you were opening up and crying. Its so crazy because whenever I feel really low and demotivated, I watch your videos and just always felt like you have your life together and you motivate me. You’ve achieved so much and all your genuine followers care for you and want the best for you! You’re so strong for opening up and being vulnerable x
Sophie, I can relate so much. I’ve been going through these craziness the last year and half. Cried for many unknown reasons. But you’re a strong individual and it’s ok to feel that way sometimes. We all go through it. You got this! ♥️
Oh girl, I feel the same and feel this from time to time. IT’S OKAY TO NOT FEEL OKAY. Allow yourself to feel any emotion, to feel sad, alone, depressed or down, not feel loved unconditionally, etc BUT please don’t blame yourself for feeling this way or for doing the stuff you did/felt. Allow to forgive yourself, be merciful to yourself. Self love is even more important than being loved. Life is a journey of growth, learning process and it’s also about falling and restart again. Without the hardship you wouldn’t be the current beautiful, genuine, kind hearted, witty, independent and hardworking Sophia! Be very proud of yourself. You are more than enough. Don’t be so hard yourself because you’re beautiful inside out. Bless you and may life grant you happiness, peace and self love. Many love from Belgium. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for being able to share your vulnerable side with us Sophia. It really means alot. I can relate to everything you've said and I cried when I saw you cry. I could feel your emotions and how raw they were. Thank you for being you, you're such a special and kind-hearted individual and I feel so grateful you're on a platform where your influence can change so many people's lives. You do you gurl!!! You got this!! xoxo
never had i related to a video until now. i’m 24 and dealing with the exact same thing. i’ve been watching you since i was 18 and i love everything about you. comforting to know someone else is going through the same thing
Hi there, completely feeling you, sending A LOT OF love and support!!! You are amazing! Thats why we’ve been following you since decades ago! I was literally thinking about the same thing yesterday, feeling down, dark, depressed, unhappy and ungrateful, then I started thinking why I have been like this, for me the main reason is constantly comparing myself with others, e.g others have a 3 bedroom house whereas i only own a one bedroom apartment. When my mindset is like this, I will never appreciate what I have already got… goal for 2022( i changed my phone background yesterday, make it bold and clear) is no comparing, no complaining, love it do it ❤️ being a happy person is a difficult journal and learning process, we are all here to support and be with you! Hope you fee better soon! Xoxo
Plus just some personal opinion, you could try other sports beside gym, e.g tennis, basketball, something that you learn and see the result/achievement if that makes sense. It works for me!
this morning I woke up not feeling too well mentally. this week I struggled with seeing the big picture and finding beauty in the world. i was having a tough time within my own mind. after I decided to finally get out of bed, I opened yt and clicked this video. it's moments like this when I feel like everything happens for a reason and signs are everywhere. I was meant to watch this video when I did. I didn't feel alone anymore. Everything you struggled with in this video, I struggle with as well and sometimes, I am hopeful and other days...I am not. thank you for making this video. thank you for being vulnerable. thank you for sharing some of your struggles with us. your impact is not unnoticed and I really appreciate this, especially at a time when I needed it most. wishing for your harder days to be shorter and better days to be longer 🤍
Sophie, you are a light and sometimes that light can’t always shine. And regardless of material things, you are allowed to give yourself grace and room to feel and express. Some of the most “well off” people in the world aren’t even happy, materialistic things aren’t what we should place ones values on. It’s a crazy time in the world at the moment and I think some of us are just dealing with it differently. The way you feel about yourself, is most times how I feel towards my work that I create, very overly critical so I get it. Keep pushing forward and sharing, we love you even more for it 💕💕💕💕
I appreciate you being vulnerable Soph! I have difficulties with being vulnerable as well. I find that the construct of happiness can be a very overwhelming unattainable construct to feel long-term. The constant chase to “be happy” can often lead to more anxiety. I wish for you to find peace and contentment and satisfaction with yourself in the present moment. Sending you positive energy!!
Sophie when I am feeling down I year myself to all of the things I love, that make me feel good. I good prayer, hot tea, a great meal, walk, pick up a new herb/spice for cooking, my favorite music etc. Then I am feeling better. I work on changing my negative thoughts to something more positive Although I know it may be difficult for some. I wish anyone love and positive vibes and strength.
Hello! I am so grateful you posted this video. I just made a huge move across the world from where I grew up all alone and honestly a lot of times I feel like I am overwhelmed with sadness even though I know there are good things coming for me. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Will be praying you heal ! Love your videos they give me so much peace ~
Hi Sophia , I have never struggle with my mental health so severely until 2019. I couldn’t relate to you more. But just know there is a light . No matter age, taking time to take care of you is so important. I ran from my self and was a high function depressed human for years and it shook me to the core. I sought help and the best way I could describe is is, when we break a bone we go to the doctor to see how we heal it, same for our mind . It took time to get our minds where there are but going for help becoming vulnerable is where real healing begins. Speaking to someone to release and feel heard makes a difference over time. You are strong and so loved . On those days you feel down and dark and can’t seem to do it for yourself, think of all those that love you and home you close to there heart. Sending so much love and light 🤎
Sophie, I love how open and vulnerable you are in this video and I know it's not easy sharing these darker times in life. I'm so sorry you're going through this, and I am sending you all the love and support in the world! I'm going through a similar phase in my life, and there are definitely lots of up and downs. I can completely relate to the part about not finding the right words to articulate what you're thinking/feeling, and just not knowing how to express yourself. I find that my anxiety/depression really isolates me and clouds my head always. We're in this together, girl!
I was working on an assignment but had to stop and comment while you’re talking about not having a safe space to be emotionally expressive. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you that whatever you’re feeling is so valid despite what others say and what negative comments come to your videos. This past December I ended a 4 year relationship because my ex kept dismissing my feelings and was almost getting to the point of gaslighting because he’d keep saying things like “you’re so sensitive” or “stop being in your head”. I am too now in therapy and doing the work to get better mentally so all we could do is to keep going and use the tools that we have to get better 💕 it’s okay to cry and even let yourself feel what you need to feel but once you’re done, pick yourself back up and run the world Soph! I haven’t been a long time subscriber but I love watching you as we are close in age and so relatable ☺️
Thank you for opening up about what you’ve been going through. It takes a lot for you to share your personal life on social media because of how people perceive it. But just listening to you and trying to understand what you’re going through, I know how you’re feeling because I feel it too. And I just want to give you a hug and thank you for sharing it because now I don’t feel so alone. And I understand more about myself and about you by you just sharing that. I hope you find your happiness and I hope that you can see there’s more to your life than you know it. ♥️
I’ve been watching you since your fashionista804 days and I’ve always been a big fan of your content! I usually don’t comment but I have to tell you that your esthetic and style for fashion and decor your creativity in your videos always gave me inspo. Even down to the music! (Also, I’m obsessed w mama Chang haha) Watching you talk about your inner struggles made my heart break. To see someone I watched for years and go through so much. Accomplish so much. I truly hope you can learn to overcome this! I also have these moments of sadness and self doubt. I taught myself that these feelings are just temporary and better days always always always come. Sending you positive vibes and all the hugs! 💖
Thank you for being vulnerable. I can relate to a lot of the things you were saying so much. I hope you find happiness in this self journey, and remember that happiness doesn’t equal to perfection! Sending my love to u 💕💕
So proud of you for sharing and being open and honest and vulnerable! Its not easy to do but I am glad you are taking those steps to help you be where you want to be. Sending you all the love and virtual hugs! I related to the part about feeling your emotions and feelings in general, I have been working on that in therapy and its not easy but its so worth it, and hopefully that lets you know, you are not alone in that!
Sophia, I have been depressed for what’s felt like my entire life, since I was a young child. Really dark thoughts that eat at me all the time, every day. My depression got deeper and darker about 6 years ago and although it waxes and wanes, I’ve stayed in that depression all the while. I crave to feel normal and happy, I exercise, I practice self care, I cook myself healthy meals full of love. I know what you are feeling, and if anything I hope that makes you feel less alone. It’s hard to see friends or people around us seeming to live such happy lives. Love you Sophia. Something that always brings me comfort is the saying “this too shall pass”. Thinking of you. 🤍
Your feelings are valid Sophia! Thank you for being vulnerable with all of us and I’m sure you’re helping others who are feeling the same way. I’ve been there before where you feel you are just stuck in this sadness and it does not fade. You’re so strong and you will get through this. Sending you so much love❤️
Thank you for opening up and speaking about things you struggle. I had been also struggling these couple months a lot. I tried to meditate more, read more and spend time outside. It helped me a lot but of course there are times I still struggle. But I always keep in mind when you struggle in life it’s because it’s the time you are growing as a person. It’s uncomfortable but it’s a next chapter in life. The book „how to master your emotion“ helped me a lot. Stay strong better days are coming ❤️🌷
Thank you so much, Soph, for being vulnerable and courageous at the same time. Showing the whole picture of being a human. I have a great job in a early age, loving partner, amazing friends and family. But sometimes I still depressed and feel so lonely. I feel guilty to feel so, and some part of me really hate myself. I tell myself, because I’m in this process of discovering myself and tidy up my life, all these thoughts are the must. From your video, I feel I’m not dark and lonely anymore, and it’s an ongoing journey. I can do it. Love you sophie❤️ your vulnerability and bravery inspired me more than you can imagine.
Hey sophie! Been following for a very long time and I wanna say you’ve been a big part of my life. I started watching when I was at my darkest times and your videos then really thought me a lot about loving myself more, accepting my emotions and all that. Seeing you go through this phase of your life, I hope you the best! Hope it all goes well and you can finally find happiness again. Thanks for coming out and being vulnerable on video, I’m sure it wasn’t easy. 💙💙
To Sophie & anybody else reading this - you are so loved and nobody judges you as harshly as you do yourself. Thank you for filming these videos for us. It is so helpful to see other people struggle with the same demons. I want to send you so much positive energy and love and I feel like that helps me love and understand myself more too even when it's really hard.
oh hunny im so sorry and totally feel you, i turned 30 and got very sick and havent worked now for 4 years, feelings of being useless, not worthy if not being productive, cant trust my own body, possibly dying, loss of independance...therapy was and is soooo good for me! i hope you feel better soon! im on the other side of the world if you wanna reach out *hugs*
Literally, every word you said is spot on with the way I’ve been feeling the past few years. In 2019, I really wanted to end my life. The constant anxiety, depression, comparisons, feeling lost and worthless, it sucked. I still feel this way sometimes, but not wanting to end my life. You are not alone and we will all get through this together. My boyfriend doesn’t understand my anxiety and depression, but he does what he can to help me. He recently got me a journal to help release any negative thoughts, and it’s been helping so far!
I’ve been in this headspace before and my heart goes out to you. It’s a funk, but it will pass. What helped me was picturing myself as a child and helping nurture that child. Like the way you treat Luna and Leo! You would never say those negative things to them, so try to look at it that way. I don’t know the YOU you, but I can resonate with these feelings. Wishing you all the best boo and try to surround yourself with encouraging friends and community and cuddle those pups!!
Wow. I can relate to this soooo much. I used to think something was wrong with me for feeling sad when I have so much to be grateful for. I also find myself trying to avoid being alone, because I haaaate being alone by myself. I know exactly how you feel and things will come together and you'll love yourself - just keep doing what your doing and pushing yourself to work on your mental health. 💕
Sophia! Been watching your channel for years and years and I am so proud of YOU and YOUR CONTENT and the incredible lengths you go to every week to put out something thoughtful, considered, beautiful and meaningful. I felt for you so much in this video, as someone who can be overly self-critical as well. I know it can be hard to remember your strengths and your achievements when focussing on the negative is so magnetic. It's not your fault! Wishing you all the best, and remember that even if you are struggling to reflect positively on yourself, we are all looking at you with admiration and know that you will overcome this period in your life.
I’ve been watching your channel for so many years and this would be the first time I leave a comment. Your feelings are valid! Sometimes we feel like we’re in a rut without really knowing why, and that’s okay. But, we must not forget to be gentle and kind to ourselves while we figure it all out. And you will. I love you Soph!❤️ Everything will be okay :)
Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable and honest. I want you to know that you are definitely not alone in your struggles and your feelings. You sharing your experiences made me feel so seen and heard and I know how tough it is, but I know that we can overcome it! Cheering you on and sending you so much love and light
Hey Sophia, I came across your channel last summer and have stayed ever since. I really love your content. I also wanted to express to you as a counselor and as a person who has also struggled with depression and anxiety the majority of my life, it does get better. I also wanted to thank you for your transparency, that can be very healing. However, I also want to comfort you by saying that you can also heal in private if you want to (completely dependent on how you feel) just dont want you feeling any added pressure to do so. You’re already taking the necessary steps to heal, so I have no doubt you’ll get better in time. Pain is temporary, also remember this too shall pass. Your feelings are valid, even the bad ones. But once you come out of this, you’ll be incredibly proud of yourself and you’ll have all of the coping skills in your toolbox to deal with these feelings and you will feel more confident that you can. You have touched so many lives through your channel I hope that brings you comfort. You’re the reason I started CrossFit! So I completely understood that 105 PR accomplishment, so congrats! ♥️🤙🏽 May God bless you during this difficult time. Your time is coming hun. Take care ♥️
You mentioned that you found it hard to articulate your thoughts and that your mind carries a lot throughout the day. Regardless of that, I'm only 12 minutes in the video and it has already had an impact on me. Knowing that I am not the only one feeling like this, knowing that there is at least one other person who feels the same, who has a busy mind. Your raw emotions, which is so brave, unlocked mine. And it's such a relief, it feels like a weight off my shoulders. So thank you, thank you for sharing some of the most vulnerable parts of yourself with the world.
Yo Sophie, I can relate so much. Sometimes we need the reminder if we're doing whats right in our life. Guess what? You're doing great. You realized where u need to improve on and u slowly made changes. Those changes takes time. Dont forget it. You are on the right path& that path is focusing on your mental health and happiness. Dont forget to love yourself a little more each day & give yourself more credit.
I am a new viewer, and I want you to know that I enjoy your videos because they help quiet my mind and make me want to get up and be productive. I’ve been having a rough mental health time, and this video inspired me to get up and clean my house. I hope your healing journey gets a little easier for you. Healing truly is a journey and the hard times ebb and flow. Thank you for being vulnerable. It’s inspiring, truly.
I get how you feel and I could somehow sense the loneliness and depression in your videos for a while now without being able to put a name to it - I so relate to overworking yourself as a form of escapism
Sophia, i just simply want to say thank you. Even though you said you have a hard time expressing your feelings and putting them into words, you just described exactly how I have been feeling over the past 2 or so years. Now that I finished watching the video, I'll grab my journal and I'll try to write these thoughts down. This is definitely what I'll be talking about next time in therapy. A big-big thank you and sending you all the love, no matter how you feel just know that you're never alone 🤍
Sending you all the love! I've been following your content for years and you're one of content creators I look up to who has such a beautiful and genuine soul. I've definitely been on the same boat lately, so I hear you and I see you. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us 🤍
Soul work is never done. It will always be something. Mind and ego are strong and take the better of us, just know you are not your mind and thoughts. Try to give yourself some grace, practice gratefulness and the rest will follow🙏🏻♥️
This was comforting. I’ve been feeling down lately and nothing seems to cheer me up. Thank you for making me feel I’m not alone. It’s been a tough few years, hasn’t it? I hope you find joy❤️
what you’re feeling is completely valid and i can totally related to how you’re feeling. being alone in your thoughts can be scary with all the negative things that come to your head and you feel like you’re being suffocated and have no motivation whatsoever. it truly hurts, but i’m proud of you that you’re trying to be more vulnerable and acknowledge how you’ve been feeling. bottling up doesn’t benefit anyone, especially you. you’re taking such amazing steps of taking advantage of all your resources! sometimes you just need that time to feel what you gotta feel and try to understand what you could do little by little to find the little joys in life to enjoy everything else. (if that makes sense lol). i was really stuck in this emotional rut for a few weeks, but it comes back from time to time for so many years. i always had to be surrounded or talk to someone so i’m not alone in my thoughts. but i realized that i’m the only one that i have to live with my whole life, so i try to see what i could do take make life so exciting to wake up to. you’re definitely not alone and we’re all here for you. i know you’ll get through this
Sophia, openly sharing how you feel take a lot of courage and a lot of people bypass this feeling without knowing the depth of it. I am super proud of you opening up and doing the best you can to break out of your sorrow and shell. I am sure these times will make you stronger and happier very soon. You are an amazing person and lots of love out to you
I have been watching your videos since you've started, almost 10 years! As you have grown, I have grown to resonate with your authentic storytelling. Thank you for sharing your journey!
thank you for opening up to us queen! sending you all the love and positive energy. I understand how you're feeling, just a few months ago I was in a similar place and though I still struggle to this day, I see little bits of progress and that helps so much. I'm glad you have things like going to the gym that help you in that way and I truly hope the emotions you feel from going to the gym will someday bleed into your everyday tasks ❤
I’m overwhelmed with the amount of support I’m receiving on this video. I have no words. I want to thank you all for being here and sending me so much light. It means the world to me. To anyone who has shared their own struggles on mental health in the comment section, I appreciate you and your willingness to be open here on my channel. It's helping me immensely and I'm sure that it's helping others feel less alone as well. You guys give me a sense of purpose and for that I’m so so grateful. Thank you 🖤
We love you so much Sophie! You are not alone! We will always be here to hear you out! and being blessed in other areas of our life’s doesn’t make us less human! And is ok to not be ok regardless! We feel! And i want you to know that at least in my part, i see beyond the things you have! I see you! And thats why i will continue to support you! We love you! Sending you love and light to you always!
My husband is going through and describes depression exactly as you have, the self doubt, sadness, low self esteem, imposter syndrome (possibly for you too?). He’s been seeing a therapist for a year and it has made a huge difference. Don’t beat yourself up, more people are going through the same thing no matter their position/ situation.
Sending you a virtual hug and love ❤️. You’ll get there 😘
I'm 53 and can relate with what you have shared been following you for many years. Continue sharing your thoughts and you be reaching more people than you can imagine. Much love and support
Do you pray? It’s been a rough 2 years and I know I would not be able to make it through without my faith. Please don’t hurt yourself if you are thinking like that. Please continue to reach out to people you love. I am praying for you 🙏🏻
Love you Sophia! Don't over think things. Live in the moment. Be strong for me!
I’m 74 years old. I’ve been watching you for over a year. You are so wonderful, authentic and full of life...an amazing woman. I wish I had been like you when I was young. I too was secretly very sad. I covered it by shopping. I wish I could go back an really appreciate being alone. I deserved to love myself. I always wanted someone else to do that.
You are beautiful inside and out in SO many ways. Your job is to appreciate that with each breath you take.You look like a wonderful combination of your parents. Looking in the mirror, what could be more beautiful than that? “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all”. It’s a life challenge for most.
Don’t wait until you are 74.
This comment 😭😭😭😭 appreciate your wisdom.
Beautifully written 💗
This is beautiful. So true.
It’s never too late to learn to love yourself. 💕 sending love !!
beautiful words.
thank you for that💛
To say the words "I'm depressed", that's the most bravest thing ever, knowing the kind of judgemental world we live in. But seeing all these comments is proof that you are not alone. I pray for your mental strength and peace.
New subscriber here. As a 24 year old male, I too experienced loneliness when I was living on my own. I also don’t have close relatives nearby and my friendships had a fallout. I’m pretty lonely if you ask me. I too kept myself busy with work and working out, but to point out from the video, I do all that, just to not be in my own thoughts. I overthink a lot and being alone for a long time is scary. I’m too, a functional sad person but I try to work with myself slowly, opening up and talking to selective personnel, do my hobbies, and to just be patient with it. It’s a battle and there’s a whole lot of things for me to endure and figure out, but I remind myself that it will all be good one day. To end on optimism : There’s always something beautiful after the end of the war.
Same no relatives and I only have like one friend, don’t even feel like going to the gym anymore bc i don’t have the energy anymore 😭
Completely feel you. I was in that stage. Journaling my feelings out, hug myself in front of a mirror & saying “I love you, I am your biggest supporter” has helped me a lot. Now I have such good relationship w myself & rarely feel alone. Of course I do feel lonely sometimes, but I’m not scared anymore about those times because I know I got my back & I can always reach out to ppl.🙏
I’m currently feeling similarly! I lost almost 90% of the friends I had during the pandemic. I’m on a journey of self discovery and enjoying my own company. Some days are easy, some are not. It’s hard to not compare. I hope you find your light at the end of the tunnel. Happiness does not last forever neither does sadness.
Sometimes just talking out loud is exactly what you need. It’s cathartic. I find that I get into these moments just before my birthday. Usually two or three months prior. ❤️ being open and in tune is a saving grace. Don’t ever let anyone stop you from expressing yourself. It’s the path to better days. Sending you love and light.
I love you, Sophia. You have made a huge difference in my life. I think about all the negative parts of social media often. If I wasn’t on CZcams, I wouldn’t have met you, though! Every time we talk, I am so glad that we met. ❤️
Sophia, I really appreciate you being honest. The first video of yours I ever watched was "My Self-Love Ritual | Going Through Hard Times" from Feb 2019 and it came to me when I was dealing with an excruciating breakup. I'm sorry you have to worry about people judging you when you're just keeping it real with us, which is what I would prefer, and I think many others do too. We all go through ups and downs and the internet should reflect that reality. Thank you for being vulnerable.
"I cannot help that I am feeling this way." Perfectly said, and I hope that when times are hard, you can remind yourself of this and give yourself the space to simply feel. The pain and heaviness that we feel when we feel sad is already hard enough, and laying guilt on top of that would be too much to bear. Feeling how you feel is completely within your right.
Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability with us - it truly is an honour to get to know this side of you. I hope you'll find light and peace, starting in small pockets, and more and more as the time passes. All the best with the inner work you do, during and between your therapy sessions. I send you all my love Soph. 🤍
I love how open and transparent you always are with us. I appreciate your honesty and trust me you aren’t the only one feeling these ups and downs of life. Just remember you’re doing better than you’re feeling 💜💜
Just because you might ‘have it all’ doesn’t mean you can’t suffer with your mental health. As anyone knows, none of that stuff even matters when your health is suffering.
Please know that you are an amazing person that so many of us admire!
It breaks my heart to think you hate yourself. You are such an incredible person inside and out! Thank you for opening up to us, sometimes it helps just to speak openly about how you’re feeling. Your feelings are valid and you are so loved by everyone around you xxxx
I cried with you… I’ve been feeling quite unhappy with myself lately and lonely, hearing u voice our ur emotions made me not feel alone in a a way. Thank you Sophia
I can't even imagine what it must be like to feel exposed publically. I remember years ago when I was in a dark place and played your video on your heartbreak and it really helped me through one of the lowest times in life. You may not know but your vulnerability helped me so much when I felt so alone and broken. So now that I am feeling better and happier I want to thank you for giving me that strength when I needed it. You're not alone, sending you so much love and strength
Thank you for sharing and making us all feel less alone. A lot of times people ask why I watch vlogs on CZcams... and I think it is for that reason, you're able to find someone you can relate to.
I know how much easier it can be to only show yourself and your life as a highlight reel on social media, but I appreciate you being so transparent and open with the hard times too. It gives me perspective and helps me not glamorize your career or your life - A reminder that everyone is human. Thank you for your courage ❤️
This video is exactly what I needed and I commend you for being so vulnerable! I remember times when I would feel sad about life, and then get mad at myself for even being sad because I thought I was “privileged”. Thus, telling myself I didn’t even deserve to feel sad. It’s a vicious cycle that our brain makes up. I’m sending you so much love and I hope opening up on your platform can help with your healing ❤️
This video came at such a perfect time. For the past few months I've been dealing with a lot of intrusive thoughts as well as emotional numbness at the same time if that makes sense??? Recent life events have left me feeling like a failure especially in the last few weeks, but I also kick myself because I've had an objectively good life so why am I not happy? Sophia, thank you so much for opening up and sharing your feelings with us. It really made me feel less alone, and I hope we all can heal and grow stronger from this. Sending you all the love
Sending you happier thoughts and peace 🤍
Sophia, I’m so, so sorry to hear that you’re struggling this deeply, but do appreciate how transparent you’re being about your mental and emotional health. Sending good vibes your way ✨🌞
Girllll I've been feeling the same way. Such a strange and heavy feeling that you can't make go away. Soo amazing that you reached out to a therapist. I think it's super important to be have an outlet to talk about it because it can swallow you up and eat you whole. Don't ever lose contact with your loved ones - spend that time and even open up to them if they're willing. Sending lots of love ✨❤️
Hi Sophia - It takes courage, strength and being brave to be vulnerable with others especially publicly to a bigger audience. No doubt that this resonates with everyone who is watching this video in one form or another. The thoughts, feelings and emotions that you are experiencing are valid and do not need to be justified. It is part of your journey and part of being human. Unfortunately, there does come criticism, often baseless, unwarranted, unjust and lacking empathy and kindness, from others as well as how we speak to ourselves. You can be truly grateful for the gifts and privileges we have in life and also be tackling challenging times including dealing with anxiety and depression. It is important to find what works for us, and it is great to see that exercising has been providing a safe and positive space for you mentally, physically and spiritually. It is great that you are going to therapy as well. It seems that there are some triggering situations and circumstances that you are going through and in time you will be able to deal with these effectively. Wishing you all the very best in your journey and be as kind, compassionate, and empathetic to yourself as you can be. xx Stay safe and well xx
I really resonate with the particular struggle of dealing with mental health being a catch 22. Its like, often sparked by not being good enough to where you want to be. But then having good mental health is another thing to do a good job at, and another thing to feel shit about when you’re failing. But then that mindset of like “I need to do better at this” is what sparks a lot of pain in the first place.
It’s so hard. I think at a certain point, you can use every tool you have, but sadness, anxiety, and depression, are just a fact of the human experience. You’re not alone ❤️ and you will feel better. Wishing you well
Your transparency is appreciated. Thank you for providing content, even when you’re not your best mentally. I’ve been in a state of consistent sadness for a few weeks. The advice that I’m getting is “your life is great, you have no reason to be unhappy.” But like you, I want to be happy and I can’t help that I’m feeling this way. Thank you a million times, I don’t know if this helped but it made me feel a lot less ungrateful. Sending well wishes ❤️
Sophie…words cannot express how hard you hit home with this video AND how much you are not alone. ~You grow through what you go through~ and you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability here and for being you. Thank you for letting us experience the highs and lows of life with you. Thank you for blessing us with your talent every time you create something no matter how big or small, because each time it helps one more person feel less alone and that makes all the difference in their world. Just like the difference it makes during the hour you feel at complete peace while hitting your PR’s. I’ve experienced the same recently with running and I’m so glad you’re feeling proud.
Cause I too am turning 30 in March and I feel you. Loneliness, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, uncertainty, and fear. Feeling behind. Feeling not enough. Then feeling silly for feeling this way given everything we have. It helps to recognize that we have the choice to focus on what we have or don’t have. It helps to recognize that it’s okay to feel this way during such a transitional period in our lives, so actually we deserve to be kinder to ourselves. And it helps to recognize that although this self-work feels like purposely walking into fire, somehow we know that this fire will be so worth it in time. I hope in knowing this, it gives you strength 🤍 love you so much!
It’s so interesting how we can look at others and not understand what they could possibly not like about themselves, why they would ever not see the value in themselves or their bodies. I mean that it’s easier to uplift others than it is ourselves sometimes. Like we Can wish so much that you could be happy, you could know how good your videos make us feel, you could know how many people admire your body, and you work hard, you’re talented at making videos, you are dedicated, shown by how you learned to skate. You have a lovely singing voice. You have an awesome personality, your goofy footage with your family is everything.
And having said all that, your feelings are more than valid. Just a month ago I felt like the lowest creature on earth. It comes and goes for me basically. I have anxiety, when I get overwhelmed I can barely handle the emotions and it’s a terrible feeling to feel so unhappy and low. So I just wish you all the best, I hope the therapy does you well. Always supporting and watching! I know it may be lonely living alone. But I think so many positive things will come your way, for sure, hang on 🧡. And you’re enough as you are. Even if times are hard or easy, wishing you inner peace and calm, just as I wish it for myself 😊
I also want to echo a few here - pandemic depression, languishing, is real. In some cases it’s not you, it’s a reflection of what we’re going through as a society. Sending love and hugs to all going through this 🙏🏽
Girl, I feel you and I’ve been there. Honestly therapy has helped me so much. It’s a good outlet. Keep your head up❤️ things will be better, there’s no timeline for anything, you got this!!
Sophia, I'm also turning 30 this year and I related to a lot that you said. I've been feeling very down lately and have also become a high functioning depressed person too. But truly celebrate achievements, big or small. You deserve to be kind to yourself. Let's just blame this on it being a quarter life crisis.
I think our minds can trick us into thinking vulnerability is defeat. If we open up we are just opening the gates of judgment. But in reality, it is so so freeing. Letting out those thoughts and feelings that have been building up for so long is the ultimate sign of growth, strength, and healing. You are so inspiring, and beautiful inside and out. Letting your heart feel will only make you stronger. You’re not alone.❤️
oh sophie…🥺 your couch chat about being hard on yourself, those feelings of being lost, and denying yourself those feelings because you feel too privileged… i’ve been there. i’ve totally been there. looking in mirror and hating everything i see…i’ve been there. but there comes a day when you look in the mirror and you don’t hate everything that you see. there comes a day when the voice in your head is kinder to you. there comes a day when you feel proud of how far you come, and grateful for your privileges rather than letting it drive you into deeper depression. but it takes so, so, so much work and therapy and reflection and you’re doing *all* of that. as someone who struggled with those mental blocks (and will likely struggle again!) and that deep depression, i’m so grateful for your vulnerability. and i’m rooting for you. ❤️❤️❤️
love from a longtime viewer.
Thank you for being so vulnerable. I was feeling the same way, and to have been able to watch you open up about your obstacles made me feel less isolated. It’s so admirable that you have been so proactive about your mental health (exercising, going to therapy…). Keep finding the joy in the little things and the every day achievements. 💕
I feel this overwhelmed all the time and I’m glad someone is sharing it on this platform. There are days when you just feel sad and you just don’t what to do about it but cry it out. I’ve learned to just let myself feel, pray and try my best not to talk to myself negatively. I hope you’re feeling much better. It’s an every day process and training to get your brain in a positive place.
I’ve been watching you since the beginning of your high school days and I feel so grateful and proud of you that you shared your most vulnerable clips bc I know how much your privacy and vulnerability means to you. But I want to remind you that these videos hit more and shows how truly powerful of a woman you are. Thank you for sharing. I wish you the utmost happiness. Love you, Sophie!
Sending love. I enjoy your videos especially the ones with your family. I recently lost my dad and all I can say is this life is sooooo short, let it out. When we know what we don’t want we figure out what we do want, being able to be ok alone, embracing your inner introvert, becoming the partner you desire rids us of lack and self doubt. It’s a heavy process but it becomes lighter and lighter and eventually becomes a new normal. Everyday moments of happiness and gratitude ♥️ you got this
Happy is a big step, because with anxious thoughts and a heavy heart happiness is soured into bittersweet. Maybe a smaller more peaceful step is present, and then to content, and then happy. 2021 was an incredibly hard year and there are stretches of time I don’t really remember. Sending love and light your way, I hope you can rest and rebuild in a way that you’re proud of, like your physical strength 🤍
Crying with you. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable, it feels comforting to know that there is someone out there that feels exactly the same way I feel. You are so brilliant and special!
I really feel for you, and I see so much of myself in this video. It’s kind of a trip to see a version of me through someone else. One thing that helped me (and still does) was to release myself from thinking that my bad days are a failure of some kind on my part-trying to make myself happy when I knew I wasn’t made me exhausted, and the more I resisted my negative emotions, the more they took over my life. It’s okay that this is your life right now, and it’s okay that it hurts-go with it, not against it-don’t judge yourself, only nurture yourself. There will be another season in your life, so allow yourself to grieve the end of this one. It will get better, trust. I’m sending you lots of love, and light on your journey-I have so much faith in you that you will make it through this. 🖤
I want to share my sister's journey with depression. My sister is such a positive light in my life, my biggest blessing. She has mentored me throughout all of my hard times and is basically my 2nd mom. She is in her mid-30's and I'm in my 20's. She has a well-paying job, is happily married and has 5 beautiful children. And she suffers from depression. She told me depression feels like waking up some mornings and not having the will or motivation to do anything yet alone get out of bed. And that all of these negative thoughts just start piling up in your head until your in such a mental space it almpst paralyzes you. It would keep her from enjoying life at times. I have never heard her talk negatively about life to me, but after explaining how she would feel at times - I can see how it can be lonely. Because even though she is surrounded by so many people who love her, it really is a mental issue. It's not her fault. And she tries everyday, to get out of bed and keep nobing forward. Her toddler son who wakes her up every morning with a morning hug gives her reason. Her family who loves her more than anything gives her reason. And tries everyday. I pray for you Soph. I pray for your heart, your mind, your soul. You are so much stronger than you could ever know and you are so loved. And despite all of these feelings and thoughts ypu have - you still get up. And you move forward. Sending you an abundance of love and peace. ❤
I feel when we are alone we really get to see what goes on in our minds. I think it’s part of the process of healing our inner selves. Be patient with yourself and you’ll learn so much from yourself. Crying is very therapeutic and there’s nothing wrong with it. You are amazing, deserving of anything you want in life. Keep your head up Sophie! 💖
I’ve never related to a video so much. I couldn’t stop bawling my eyes out. Thank you so much for this. I really really really needed this ❤️ You’re such a kind soul and I wish you the very best!
Sending you and everyone who’s been dealing with mental health with lots of love! It’s definitely rough and may feel isolating, debilitating and overall rough. I’ve been officially diagnosed with OCD and for the past couple of months (almost half a year) I’ve been dealing with sexual intrusive thoughts. So I understand how it feels when those unwanted voices and feelings are loud. My hope for everyone struggling is to eventually find happiness again. It really hits home when you said “I just want to feel happy again”.. because I so want to feel that again 😔 stay strong all 💞
You are okay Sophia! You are great! You are powerful! Sometimes writing how I'm feeling and all my thoughts either if its good or bad down onto a paper and then go back to read it atleast 3 times, that makes me feel better about the situation. You are amazing and is okay where you're at. Be happy babe. Enjoy life! I love you! You're not alone. I am going through what you are going through too. This quote alway keep me going when I think negative of things " if you don't like it then change the way you think about it." Change that negative thought around and see the positive of it. I hope I helped you like you helped me throughout the years. I wish I can give you a hug and keep you company. Always remember I'm here with you. ❤ There is more to life than this.
Sending virtual hugs 🥺 this is so relatable, Sophia. Everything can be so fine and good when you’re around people, and it’s those times when you’re alone with your thoughts that it just comes crashing down. I’ve been watching your videos for 10 years now and I really wish nothing be the best for you. I hope you can get past this soon 💛
I can relate so much to everything you have said. In life there will always be someone happier or sadder, more privileged or less privileged. You have every right to feel everything you are feeling. I was feeling like this all of last year and am now only seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
You are amazing and I know you will figure everything out ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Being vulnerable and sharing what you feel takes a lot of strength and courage. You make us feel like we are not alone and we want you to know, you are not alone. Sending all the love and positive healing vibes your way.
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your vulnerable thoughts, it really helped me to feel connected to others. I've been feeling the same way lately and so I just wanted to thank you for being a voice in times of loneliness, or struggle. I hope you continue to share your internal thoughts with us as much as you feel
Hi Soph, I’ve deeply struggled with negative intrusive thoughts for as long as I could remember and I suffer from anxiety & depression. It’s so incredibly hard to get out of that headspace but we can do it. I recommend actively reframing your thoughts to be more positive (easier said than done ofc) but it’s all about being consistent, and your mindset and thoughts will eventually shift. I’m still working on it myself. And remember to be kind to yourself on this journey. I also have the five minute journal and two quotes that stuck out to me were “this moment is not your life, it’s just a moment in your life” and “it gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day, that’s the hard part.” One last thing - your feelings are absolutely valid. It’s okay to be vulnerable, if people judge you, that’s them projecting their issues/insecurities onto you. Sending love ❤️
Such encouraging words. I also needed this 🤍 we’re all in this together and thankful for a platform like this to be able to encourage one another.
Honestly, I think being completely comfortable in your own loneliness is something really hard to accomplish, especially if you once were used to be surrounded with people. In my opinion, every single person has a phase in their life that's filled with doubt and negativity about everything including ourselves, maybe it's even an ongoing circle that's part of our lives during our time on earth. You're not alone Sophie, I've been through the exact same and many are going through it right now. But one thing is for sure and it's that it gets better with time, and just like going to the gym, you won't see the results every day but one day you'll realize that you are genuinely happy with who you are, you will look back at how tough the road was to get there and it'll make you prouder ❤️ while then, feel free to cry your heart out and come to share it us whenever you feel like doing it ✨
Thank you for being vulnerable. My boyfriend and I were watching this and he’s going through a rough patch right now mentally. Everything you said was really relatable. Keep your head up and we’re rooting for you!
It's okay to feel like a mess and be sad. But remember that you're loved by your YT community and clearly by your fam and friends. Thank you for sharing what you're going through. Hope you feel good soon
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I resonate so much with you when you said “I just want to be happy”. I’ve been struggling with my own mental health for the last year and it just feels like a never ending battle. Know that you’re not alone and even in the most darkest times there will always be light. Sending you love from Australia.
never ever feel like you can't have your own mental problems or situations because you "have it all" we're all human and no matter how fortunate some people can be everyone is allowed to have emotions and struggle. i'm glad you spoke about this but never feel guilty. you can be appreciative of what you have and also acknowledge that you're struggling mentally. i hope you feel better sophie
Love how honest you are. Material things aren’t everything so your feelings/journey is valid. I hope you find that self-love within. Thank you for being vulnerable. It’s inspiring.
I feel you girl. I feel like life is getting tough esp when we don’t go out as often like before COVID happened. I hope you find your happiness. I’m so glad you opened up to your followers. You’ve shared so much before and I’m glad you’re finding something you get to do for yourself. You go girl! That’s amazing. I wish I could squat that much 💪🏼
Sophia my heart broke when you were opening up and crying. Its so crazy because whenever I feel really low and demotivated, I watch your videos and just always felt like you have your life together and you motivate me. You’ve achieved so much and all your genuine followers care for you and want the best for you! You’re so strong for opening up and being vulnerable x
Sophie, I can relate so much. I’ve been going through these craziness the last year and half. Cried for many unknown reasons. But you’re a strong individual and it’s ok to feel that way sometimes. We all go through it. You got this! ♥️
I remember feeling this way living alone also. Sending you lots of hugs. You’re going to get through this, it does get better ❤️🩹
Oh girl, I feel the same and feel this from time to time. IT’S OKAY TO NOT FEEL OKAY. Allow yourself to feel any emotion, to feel sad, alone, depressed or down, not feel loved unconditionally, etc BUT please don’t blame yourself for feeling this way or for doing the stuff you did/felt. Allow to forgive yourself, be merciful to yourself. Self love is even more important than being loved. Life is a journey of growth, learning process and it’s also about falling and restart again. Without the hardship you wouldn’t be the current beautiful, genuine, kind hearted, witty, independent and hardworking Sophia! Be very proud of yourself. You are more than enough. Don’t be so hard yourself because you’re beautiful inside out. Bless you and may life grant you happiness, peace and self love. Many love from Belgium. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for being able to share your vulnerable side with us Sophia. It really means alot. I can relate to everything you've said and I cried when I saw you cry. I could feel your emotions and how raw they were.
Thank you for being you, you're such a special and kind-hearted individual and I feel so grateful you're on a platform where your influence can change so many people's lives.
You do you gurl!!! You got this!! xoxo
never had i related to a video until now. i’m 24 and dealing with the exact same thing. i’ve been watching you since i was 18 and i love everything about you. comforting to know someone else is going through the same thing
Hi there, completely feeling you, sending A LOT OF love and support!!! You are amazing! Thats why we’ve been following you since decades ago! I was literally thinking about the same thing yesterday, feeling down, dark, depressed, unhappy and ungrateful, then I started thinking why I have been like this, for me the main reason is constantly comparing myself with others, e.g others have a 3 bedroom house whereas i only own a one bedroom apartment. When my mindset is like this, I will never appreciate what I have already got… goal for 2022( i changed my phone background yesterday, make it bold and clear) is no comparing, no complaining, love it do it ❤️ being a happy person is a difficult journal and learning process, we are all here to support and be with you! Hope you fee better soon! Xoxo
Plus just some personal opinion, you could try other sports beside gym, e.g tennis, basketball, something that you learn and see the result/achievement if that makes sense. It works for me!
this morning I woke up not feeling too well mentally. this week I struggled with seeing the big picture and finding beauty in the world. i was having a tough time within my own mind. after I decided to finally get out of bed, I opened yt and clicked this video. it's moments like this when I feel like everything happens for a reason and signs are everywhere. I was meant to watch this video when I did. I didn't feel alone anymore. Everything you struggled with in this video, I struggle with as well and sometimes, I am hopeful and other days...I am not. thank you for making this video. thank you for being vulnerable. thank you for sharing some of your struggles with us. your impact is not unnoticed and I really appreciate this, especially at a time when I needed it most. wishing for your harder days to be shorter and better days to be longer 🤍
Sophie, you are a light and sometimes that light can’t always shine. And regardless of material things, you are allowed to give yourself grace and room to feel and express. Some of the most “well off” people in the world aren’t even happy, materialistic things aren’t what we should place ones values on. It’s a crazy time in the world at the moment and I think some of us are just dealing with it differently. The way you feel about yourself, is most times how I feel towards my work that I create, very overly critical so I get it. Keep pushing forward and sharing, we love you even more for it 💕💕💕💕
I appreciate you being vulnerable Soph! I have difficulties with being vulnerable as well. I find that the construct of happiness can be a very overwhelming unattainable construct to feel long-term. The constant chase to “be happy” can often lead to more anxiety. I wish for you to find peace and contentment and satisfaction with yourself in the present moment. Sending you positive energy!!
Sophie when I am feeling down I year myself to all of the things I love, that make me feel good. I good prayer, hot tea, a great meal, walk, pick up a new herb/spice for cooking, my favorite music etc. Then I am feeling better. I work on changing my negative thoughts to something more positive
Although I know it may be difficult for some. I wish anyone love and positive vibes and strength.
Hello! I am so grateful you posted this video. I just made a huge move across the world from where I grew up all alone and honestly a lot of times I feel like I am overwhelmed with sadness even though I know there are good things coming for me. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Will be praying you heal ! Love your videos they give me so much peace ~
Hi Sophia ,
I have never struggle with my mental health so severely until 2019. I couldn’t relate to you more. But just know there is a light . No matter age, taking time to take care of you is so important. I ran from my self and was a high function depressed human for years and it shook me to the core. I sought help and the best way I could describe is is, when we break a bone we go to the doctor to see how we heal it, same for our mind . It took time to get our minds where there are but going for help becoming vulnerable is where real healing begins. Speaking to someone to release and feel heard makes a difference over time. You are strong and so loved . On those days you feel down and dark and can’t seem to do it for yourself, think of all those that love you and home you close to there heart. Sending so much love and light 🤎
Sophie, I love how open and vulnerable you are in this video and I know it's not easy sharing these darker times in life. I'm so sorry you're going through this, and I am sending you all the love and support in the world! I'm going through a similar phase in my life, and there are definitely lots of up and downs. I can completely relate to the part about not finding the right words to articulate what you're thinking/feeling, and just not knowing how to express yourself. I find that my anxiety/depression really isolates me and clouds my head always. We're in this together, girl!
I was working on an assignment but had to stop and comment while you’re talking about not having a safe space to be emotionally expressive. I wish I could give you a hug and tell you that whatever you’re feeling is so valid despite what others say and what negative comments come to your videos. This past December I ended a 4 year relationship because my ex kept dismissing my feelings and was almost getting to the point of gaslighting because he’d keep saying things like “you’re so sensitive” or “stop being in your head”. I am too now in therapy and doing the work to get better mentally so all we could do is to keep going and use the tools that we have to get better 💕 it’s okay to cry and even let yourself feel what you need to feel but once you’re done, pick yourself back up and run the world Soph! I haven’t been a long time subscriber but I love watching you as we are close in age and so relatable ☺️
Thank you for opening up about what you’ve been going through. It takes a lot for you to share your personal life on social media because of how people perceive it. But just listening to you and trying to understand what you’re going through, I know how you’re feeling because I feel it too. And I just want to give you a hug and thank you for sharing it because now I don’t feel so alone. And I understand more about myself and about you by you just sharing that. I hope you find your happiness and I hope that you can see there’s more to your life than you know it. ♥️
I’ve been watching you since your fashionista804 days and I’ve always been a big fan of your content! I usually don’t comment but I have to tell you that your esthetic and style for fashion and decor your creativity in your videos always gave me inspo. Even down to the music! (Also, I’m obsessed w mama Chang haha) Watching you talk about your inner struggles made my heart break. To see someone I watched for years and go through so much. Accomplish so much. I truly hope you can learn to overcome this! I also have these moments of sadness and self doubt. I taught myself that these feelings are just temporary and better days always always always come. Sending you positive vibes and all the hugs! 💖
Thank you for being vulnerable. I can relate to a lot of the things you were saying so much. I hope you find happiness in this self journey, and remember that happiness doesn’t equal to perfection! Sending my love to u 💕💕
So proud of you for sharing and being open and honest and vulnerable! Its not easy to do but I am glad you are taking those steps to help you be where you want to be. Sending you all the love and virtual hugs! I related to the part about feeling your emotions and feelings in general, I have been working on that in therapy and its not easy but its so worth it, and hopefully that lets you know, you are not alone in that!
Sophia, I have been depressed for what’s felt like my entire life, since I was a young child. Really dark thoughts that eat at me all the time, every day. My depression got deeper and darker about 6 years ago and although it waxes and wanes, I’ve stayed in that depression all the while. I crave to feel normal and happy, I exercise, I practice self care, I cook myself healthy meals full of love. I know what you are feeling, and if anything I hope that makes you feel less alone. It’s hard to see friends or people around us seeming to live such happy lives. Love you Sophia. Something that always brings me comfort is the saying “this too shall pass”. Thinking of you. 🤍
Your feelings are valid Sophia! Thank you for being vulnerable with all of us and I’m sure you’re helping others who are feeling the same way. I’ve been there before where you feel you are just stuck in this sadness and it does not fade. You’re so strong and you will get through this. Sending you so much love❤️
Thank you for opening up and speaking about things you struggle. I had been also struggling these couple months a lot. I tried to meditate more, read more and spend time outside. It helped me a lot but of course there are times I still struggle. But I always keep in mind when you struggle in life it’s because it’s the time you are growing as a person. It’s uncomfortable but it’s a next chapter in life. The book „how to master your emotion“ helped me a lot. Stay strong better days are coming ❤️🌷
Thank you so much, Soph, for being vulnerable and courageous at the same time. Showing the whole picture of being a human. I have a great job in a early age, loving partner, amazing friends and family. But sometimes I still depressed and feel so lonely. I feel guilty to feel so, and some part of me really hate myself. I tell myself, because I’m in this process of discovering myself and tidy up my life, all these thoughts are the must. From your video, I feel I’m not dark and lonely anymore, and it’s an ongoing journey. I can do it. Love you sophie❤️ your vulnerability and bravery inspired me more than you can imagine.
Hey sophie! Been following for a very long time and I wanna say you’ve been a big part of my life. I started watching when I was at my darkest times and your videos then really thought me a lot about loving myself more, accepting my emotions and all that. Seeing you go through this phase of your life, I hope you the best! Hope it all goes well and you can finally find happiness again. Thanks for coming out and being vulnerable on video, I’m sure it wasn’t easy. 💙💙
To Sophie & anybody else reading this - you are so loved and nobody judges you as harshly as you do yourself.
Thank you for filming these videos for us. It is so helpful to see other people struggle with the same demons. I want to send you so much positive energy and love and I feel like that helps me love and understand myself more too even when it's really hard.
oh hunny im so sorry and totally feel you, i turned 30 and got very sick and havent worked now for 4 years, feelings of being useless, not worthy if not being productive, cant trust my own body, possibly dying, loss of independance...therapy was and is soooo good for me! i hope you feel better soon! im on the other side of the world if you wanna reach out *hugs*
Literally, every word you said is spot on with the way I’ve been feeling the past few years. In 2019, I really wanted to end my life. The constant anxiety, depression, comparisons, feeling lost and worthless, it sucked. I still feel this way sometimes, but not wanting to end my life. You are not alone and we will all get through this together. My boyfriend doesn’t understand my anxiety and depression, but he does what he can to help me. He recently got me a journal to help release any negative thoughts, and it’s been helping so far!
I’ve been in this headspace before and my heart goes out to you. It’s a funk, but it will pass. What helped me was picturing myself as a child and helping nurture that child. Like the way you treat Luna and Leo! You would never say those negative things to them, so try to look at it that way. I don’t know the YOU you, but I can resonate with these feelings. Wishing you all the best boo and try to surround yourself with encouraging friends and community and cuddle those pups!!
Wow. I can relate to this soooo much. I used to think something was wrong with me for feeling sad when I have so much to be grateful for. I also find myself trying to avoid being alone, because I haaaate being alone by myself. I know exactly how you feel and things will come together and you'll love yourself - just keep doing what your doing and pushing yourself to work on your mental health. 💕
This edit was INTENSE! Making this must have been a journey. Hope you're in better spirits, soon.
Sophia! Been watching your channel for years and years and I am so proud of YOU and YOUR CONTENT and the incredible lengths you go to every week to put out something thoughtful, considered, beautiful and meaningful. I felt for you so much in this video, as someone who can be overly self-critical as well. I know it can be hard to remember your strengths and your achievements when focussing on the negative is so magnetic. It's not your fault! Wishing you all the best, and remember that even if you are struggling to reflect positively on yourself, we are all looking at you with admiration and know that you will overcome this period in your life.
I’ve been watching your channel for so many years and this would be the first time I leave a comment. Your feelings are valid! Sometimes we feel like we’re in a rut without really knowing why, and that’s okay. But, we must not forget to be gentle and kind to ourselves while we figure it all out. And you will. I love you Soph!❤️
Everything will be okay :)
Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable and honest. I want you to know that you are definitely not alone in your struggles and your feelings. You sharing your experiences made me feel so seen and heard and I know how tough it is, but I know that we can overcome it! Cheering you on and sending you so much love and light
Hey Sophia,
I came across your channel last summer and have stayed ever since. I really love your content. I also wanted to express to you as a counselor and as a person who has also struggled with depression and anxiety the majority of my life, it does get better. I also wanted to thank you for your transparency, that can be very healing. However, I also want to comfort you by saying that you can also heal in private if you want to (completely dependent on how you feel) just dont want you feeling any added pressure to do so. You’re already taking the necessary steps to heal, so I have no doubt you’ll get better in time. Pain is temporary, also remember this too shall pass. Your feelings are valid, even the bad ones. But once you come out of this, you’ll be incredibly proud of yourself and you’ll have all of the coping skills in your toolbox to deal with these feelings and you will feel more confident that you can. You have touched so many lives through your channel I hope that brings you comfort. You’re the reason I started CrossFit! So I completely understood that 105 PR accomplishment, so congrats! ♥️🤙🏽
May God bless you during this difficult time. Your time is coming hun. Take care ♥️
You mentioned that you found it hard to articulate your thoughts and that your mind carries a lot throughout the day. Regardless of that, I'm only 12 minutes in the video and it has already had an impact on me. Knowing that I am not the only one feeling like this, knowing that there is at least one other person who feels the same, who has a busy mind. Your raw emotions, which is so brave, unlocked mine. And it's such a relief, it feels like a weight off my shoulders. So thank you, thank you for sharing some of the most vulnerable parts of yourself with the world.
Yo Sophie, I can relate so much. Sometimes we need the reminder if we're doing whats right in our life. Guess what? You're doing great. You realized where u need to improve on and u slowly made changes. Those changes takes time. Dont forget it. You are on the right path& that path is focusing on your mental health and happiness. Dont forget to love yourself a little more each day & give yourself more credit.
I am a new viewer, and I want you to know that I enjoy your videos because they help quiet my mind and make me want to get up and be productive. I’ve been having a rough mental health time, and this video inspired me to get up and clean my house. I hope your healing journey gets a little easier for you. Healing truly is a journey and the hard times ebb and flow. Thank you for being vulnerable. It’s inspiring, truly.
I get how you feel and I could somehow sense the loneliness and depression in your videos for a while now without being able to put a name to it - I so relate to overworking yourself as a form of escapism
Sophia, i just simply want to say thank you. Even though you said you have a hard time expressing your feelings and putting them into words, you just described exactly how I have been feeling over the past 2 or so years. Now that I finished watching the video, I'll grab my journal and I'll try to write these thoughts down. This is definitely what I'll be talking about next time in therapy. A big-big thank you and sending you all the love, no matter how you feel just know that you're never alone 🤍
Sending you all the love! I've been following your content for years and you're one of content creators I look up to who has such a beautiful and genuine soul. I've definitely been on the same boat lately, so I hear you and I see you. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us 🤍
Soul work is never done. It will always be something. Mind and ego are strong and take the better of us, just know you are not your mind and thoughts. Try to give yourself some grace, practice gratefulness and the rest will follow🙏🏻♥️
thank you being vulnerable even when you dont have to be 💕 know that you are love sophie, keep going, you're doing great
Your videos are just the best parts of my day! Love you and your videos!
This was comforting. I’ve been feeling down lately and nothing seems to cheer me up. Thank you for making me feel I’m not alone. It’s been a tough few years, hasn’t it? I hope you find joy❤️
what you’re feeling is completely valid and i can totally related to how you’re feeling. being alone in your thoughts can be scary with all the negative things that come to your head and you feel like you’re being suffocated and have no motivation whatsoever. it truly hurts, but i’m proud of you that you’re trying to be more vulnerable and acknowledge how you’ve been feeling. bottling up doesn’t benefit anyone, especially you. you’re taking such amazing steps of taking advantage of all your resources! sometimes you just need that time to feel what you gotta feel and try to understand what you could do little by little to find the little joys in life to enjoy everything else. (if that makes sense lol).
i was really stuck in this emotional rut for a few weeks, but it comes back from time to time for so many years. i always had to be surrounded or talk to someone so i’m not alone in my thoughts. but i realized that i’m the only one that i have to live with my whole life, so i try to see what i could do take make life so exciting to wake up to. you’re definitely not alone and we’re all here for you. i know you’ll get through this
Sophia, openly sharing how you feel take a lot of courage and a lot of people bypass this feeling without knowing the depth of it. I am super proud of you opening up and doing the best you can to break out of your sorrow and shell. I am sure these times will make you stronger and happier very soon. You are an amazing person and lots of love out to you
I have been watching your videos since you've started, almost 10 years! As you have grown, I have grown to resonate with your authentic storytelling. Thank you for sharing your journey!
thank you for opening up to us queen! sending you all the love and positive energy. I understand how you're feeling, just a few months ago I was in a similar place and though I still struggle to this day, I see little bits of progress and that helps so much. I'm glad you have things like going to the gym that help you in that way and I truly hope the emotions you feel from going to the gym will someday bleed into your everyday tasks ❤
