  • Oh ya! That "what do you have to be depressed about" thing pisses me off!! I have dealt with depression for 20+ years and that has been said to me so many times! Thanks for this video!
  • @CharaBui
    I'm glad someone is speaking openly about their mental health. thanks
  • These were 2 amazing videos you've created! Sometimes the stigma is the hardest part. I've struggled with mental illness for ages and i've discovered that being transparent about it has helped me so much! People who just don't get it will naturally fade out of your life. It hurts but you learn to accept it.
  • I'm so impressed with you. I think it was an important video not only for people with mental/health issues but for all of us who might be beating themselves up for being moody or not particularly social on certain days or whatsoever. Like you said, sometimes it's enough to just get out of bed and it's fine! Thank you, sending you muchos good vibes for today, tomorrow and whenever you might need it.
  • Been binge watching all your old videos because your lovely and hilarious but had to watch these past two videos as they resonate strongly with me and my family thank you so much. It's nice to know your not alone x x x
  • I dropped all connections with a close friend I had because when I told her I was suicidal, she told me I was being shallow. I thought about what she said at first but I was hurt because in the past, no matter how small her problems were, I always helped out and supported her, but now that i'm the one who needs a listening ear, I get told I was being shallow... I feel guilty sometimes, but then there were also times in the past where she was...insensitive..? Anyway, I loved this video, Rhi... I ugly-cried for a while, but it kinda felt like i was cleansing my soul as weird as that sounds XD
  • aww! rhian, i can tell this video took a toll on you. you seemed like you had given so much and you have! thank you
  • This was an amazing video. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
  • 💜 thank you for talking about this... I adore your attitude... point of view... and style... you are a lovely lady and I absolutely adore you! 💜
  • I applaud you for making these videos. It's so brave to put yourself out there and the fact that you can help someone doesn't make it less hard. Living with a mental illness is not easy and people are not aware of that. Making jokes and irony is also my way to deal with things :-)

    Hi! I've only recently started to suffer with panic attacks and anxiety ( it started when I got a bad chest infection and my asthma got bad) and I'm still figuring it all out but your videos have helped a lot. I also lost my dad 3 weeks ago and I'm finding that difficult too. Thank you for these videos though as I now realise I'm not just the only one to suffer!
  • you answered my question!! aaaaah thank you ❤️❤️❤️
  • I agree with sleeping, if ive had enough sleep i seem to feel better about situations :)
  • I love your lipstick!!! What kind is it?? I do too have horrible anxiety that's why I seen your videos
  • @133smith
    Fantastic video. Sorry if I missed it but are you on any medication? Hope u are well xx
  • Thank you for both videos Rhian, for being so open and honest...lots to think about. Been on a 'pram' for years! ( Wonder if I still feel? Not sure I do.) Took an anti-depressant from Dr years ago that told me to kill myself! I'd never had suicidal thoughts before that, came off it right away. x
  • What are those nail varnishes in the background? I'm intrigued by the packaging! P.S. awesome video!
