***IMPORTANT*** If you are currently prescribed anti-anxiety, or anti-depressants, do NOT stop taking your medication as a result of this video! These are methods that personally worked for me, but they are not meant to be exercised in lieu of your medication. If you wish to stop taking your medication, consult with your doctor FIRST so he may safely wean you off your medication OVERTIME!
The three top mental illnesses/issues people write to me about most is anxiety, depression, and relationship troubles. Today, I decided to really put myself out there, and share my personal experience of combating anxiety.
The main takeaway from this vlog, is to let those know who are experiencing anxiety that they are NOT alone, and help is out there! Additionally, it is to provide a better understanding of what anxiety is for those who may not understand it.
Below is a list of resources, such as trained crisis counselors, and books that I have found to be personally beneficial during my struggle with anxiety. If you feel that talking on the phone to a crisis counselor may be too much for you at this time, they do provide text-messaging services as an alternative. Rest assured, you will remain anonymous in either avenue.

mfw you describing your depression is my daily life. welp.
I know I’m watching this 5 months late, I found you like 5 days ago and I’ve watched all of your videos. I usually don’t comment much but I felt the need to tell you that your videos are motivating me to get out of the hole that I feel I’m in, you make me feel the hope of a better tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your struggles and solutions, it makes a big difference. I hope you don’t stop making videos.
It might work for some people, but for me , I only feel worse when I talk to people, so I try not to do that anymore, one day i talked to a girl from mental health one day on the phone, I rambled on and on , probably from keeping it inside for so long, then the next day I felt worse because I told her a bunch of stuff I probably should have kept to myself,I never told her everything, There was another woman that I didn't feel to weird talking to, although I never told her the real bad stuff. I don't think I've told anybody the worst stuff, it's not something to be told, it's a nightmare to be acted out , i am just the medium and their are a lot of actors who don't even realize they are going to be in his movie, I'm rambling again, I forget what we were talking about in the first place
it is great to hear your open heart comments regarding your life and topics so deep as depression, stress, sadness, anxiety. Eventhough people try to hide their weakness, everyone must know that it is a human thing, commum to everyone. It is so great to share thoughts like you did on this video, it relates to lots of people and as a result you heel yourself, and help others to get heeled in the process as well.
I've discovered your chanel about 3 day's ago and watched all your video''s. And WOW i really think we have soooo much in common. But you probably hear that alot from other people. Would love to talk with you just because i think we've understand each other with almost anything. I don't know if you're going to read this i really don't know why i'm even posting this. Kinda burned out and hiding alot not mentally feeling great. So i can totally relate to this video. But i can post this below every of your video's cause i can relate to all of them. A well maybe some day we can talk and if not i enjoy watching your video's.
I'm so thankful to have found you, and Therapy Thursdays! You're amazing Blaire! Keep up the fantastic videos and ride safe!
Big booty ass
Your such a clever and strong woman, judging by your latest video's in Hawaii it seems your on the right path to happiness! I agree with you, finding the source of what makes you unhappy and change it. I did and Im on the right path. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a depression in my case, more a period of sadness – how you call it, it was there in the hotel to check in for a couple of months :). Now I changed a couple of things and I feel Im getting back to my old self, which was a guy enjoying each minute of every day, waking up with I smile, no care in the world. I have some new goals now and 1 of these is getting a bike and start vlogging like you do. I wish you well in Hawaii!
Thank you for sharing this, it really help me a lot. May God bless you💜
Interesting video. You have lots to say… Keep up the great work.
