How I Became An Extreme Minimalist | Part 2

This was NOT how I had planned this video but after numerous issues with it, I've left it simpler than I hope. If you have any questions about any of the topics I mentioned, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will make a future video on them.
There is so much I left out, from people dying to complexities among other relationships and the occasional dips in mental health and doing some really dangerous things, within this and the previous video.
I had to be careful to respect other people, not trigger anybody and keep the videos to the point.
It's a balancing act telling my story, and it would probably be better that I told the main points and then smaller points in seperate videos in the future.

You should be so proud of yourself 🩷 You have put a lot of hard work in to better your life for you and your children and it's lovely to hear that you are enjoying life so much now 😊 So brave to share your story and I've enjoyed learning more about it x

You may not have a garden or a car but you do have people, we may al be on you tube but I think I speak for all your subscribers when I say that we all think that what you have achieved is amazing. Your honesty and candour is refreshing. Well done for your achievements. Love from peculiarlyhookedonpendle x

Thank you for sharing your story with us all. You have gone through so much, but I am so happy to hear that life is better. Life is hard, especially these days, and there are always going to be tough times, but I think that knowing the things that we can and not handle can help in so many ways. One of the things I love about minimalism is knowing I have full control over (at least my) things that I bring into my life and home. There are things in our home (as I know you have seen) that I can’t control as much as I would like, and it drives me crazy. But I am slowing trying to work my way through the house even more, and at least, trying to keep my family’s things in their own spaces. I get really claustrophobic and very overwhelmed by other people’s things and there’s not a lot I can do about it.

Also... i was curious about your bullet journal and you buying books. How do you do your bullet journal (like, what do you tend to use it for wtc). I love bullet journals, so im always curiouse. And with your books, you said you buy them, read them and pass them on. Do you see books similar to when you buy flowers? Like something you treat yourself to? The reason I ask is that even as a minimalist, i still enjoy buying things, but don't like buying things for the sake it buying. If you know what I mean. I thought that buying a new book would be a way to enjoy the process of a purchase but to enjoy the hobby of reading,and like you, passing it on. I don't like digital reading/books, and don't do things like drinking, smoking, drugs or betting/gambling etc so I think books would be a great on going hobby.

I really enjoy your realistic approach to minimalism. Do you find that it has given you more control over your life now, especially with your toddler? Did you realise you had OCD before you were pregnant, like when you were a child? I think my 7 year old is developing it but we’ve had so little help from the doctors.

How does foster placement work? Do they foster you and your child, or do they foster your child and you are living there? It sounds so overwhelming but it seems like it has worked so well for you xx

Do you find being open online is helping your recovery and growth as a person ? Asking because I feel like its a double edged sword, being open is a desirable trait in me and others but means rejection is more possible. You are very honest and sincere in your videos and I believe it's possible you've adapted to share your experiences on here as it feels better to no longer hide Equally though I find it hard to believe others and trust their words when I don't know them. That is also hard to fully navigate online, when we cannot see whats truly going on in peoples lives. I hope for this not to come across as dismissive of your current situation, but thinking about it I can see why people may have believed I haven't changed my mindset or way of living if they weren't to know me so well. So maybe that's the thing I'm saying here than not believing something. It's more not knowing the consistency until you get to know someone ? Does this make sense ? edit: spelling
