As someone who has had endured and overcome depression and anxiety, I can truly relate to your experience and story. You are brave to share this story and I applaud you :) To me, its all been about getting to know God and have a relationship with Him, and through that everything has slowly took its place in my life. Thanks for

I suffered from a lot of self esteem issues, and meeting my husband really helped me turn it all around. I'm definitely not saying that a man will fix problems, but just the unconditional love he showed me really helped me become a happier person. So I definitely teared up with you when you mentioned Alex.

MEDICATION CAN HELP..it saved my life. Don't put off medication, anxiety and depression are illnesses just like any other illness. Your brain is a physical part of your body and you must treat it that way. If I had high blood pressure I would take medication for it, regardless of the "substances" it put in my body. Why should you treat a mental illness any differently? Do what helps you, but there is absolutely no shame in taking an antidepressant.

Mimi you are truly one of the most amazing and inspirational women in the world. Honestly I think that more people should be aware of you because you are the most wonderful person. You are caring, strong and positive which is incredibly inspirational, and I think many young girls in particular need women like you in their lives, whether that's in real life or online like this. I am so glad that you are influencing people over youtube etc. because we need your amazing and beautiful soul on here. I very rarely write something like this but honeslty I feel only love and gratitude for you and look forward to every single one of your videos because they are so positive and helpful. You are geniune and inspirational which is truly amazing! Thank you! xx

I went through anxiety and panic attacks. God has healed me 🙌🙏 doctor wanted to put me on medication i refused! God was the answer and is the answer for everyone. talking with God every day when i would feel anxious knowing that God is with me all the time has healed me. let go and let God work. theres a message for every trial we face i dont wish i never experienced panic attacks Im happy I experienced them God works in mysterious ways and he worked through the trials i went through to help me grow. God Bless

It's amazing how you overcame this. Medications aren't a solution but in some cases it is essential to go through the hardest stages. It is not about believing in it. It's science and it works. Of course the solution is beyond that. I'm really glad you could find you're way out. You are an inspiration.

"If you want to heal, you have to face it." So true! Thank you. <3

mimi! thank you so much for your interview tips! I put myself out there. I gave 100 percent to my resume and cover letter! I wrote a thank you more, I looked my best. I looked for a job that was right for me! I found one as a bookkeeper. During the interview, he asked about my resume. he suggested I work with the marketing director to help them build a social media presence. I said that I would love that project. I got the job! Mimi, I got the job that I love to do and it comes with salary and benifits so that I can afford to take care of my daughter without relying on my exhusband. I am soo happy! Thank you for your suggestions

[LilyFlower]

Mimi, I'm a clinical therapist and I work with children who have trauma. Everything you said is accurate and this video inspired me to look into meditation further. Thank you!!! I've been following you since the beginning.

I can't keep my greatfullness in myself this time. Every video of yours makes me want to comment and say how thankful I am that you make videos like this. By time, you truly changed my life. You truly made me Mimi a better person. Every video of yours is a hand of Life. I can't say in words how much I respect you and love you. This video made me so emotional that I started crying tears of joy. Tears of greatfullness. Because I realized that I overcame anxiety too. I fought since I was so little and it made me so happy to finally say that I am free. I wish I could hug you right now and pass my emotions to you. To let you know how much Iove I got for you and from you.

Just wanted to say that medication saved my life. I don't want someone to turn away from it because of negative comments here. I had panic so bad I couldn't leave my house. With medication I am now living a normal life and not wanting it to end like I did when I was depressed and anxious.

This was probably one of the most real videos anyone has posted and I have watched on depression and anxiety.

However, I do believe that pills can be beneficial and that they're worth a shot if you're really feeling terrible. Maybe not for everyone in every situation but depression and anxiety for a lot of people is also an imbalance in the brain which is what the pills help with to fix and once the imbalance begins to be corrected there's a significant difference just in how you feel overall. It's not mind altering or changes who you are or things like that. If anything, they will make you closer to how you should be feeling again. A lot of people think that when they take the pills and they "feel different" it's the pills changing your mind and how you think... No, it's the pills changing your overall mood and just taking away some of the clouds that were once there. It feels "different" because things aren't as dark anymore. I know for me I would not be able to overcome my anxiety and depression with just seeing a therapist. For me, there'll be days when I don't even know why I'm panicking or feeling upset I just do and when that happens, that's when the pills are useful.
No, they're not the complete solution but they definitely help in the right situation in conjunction with other things.

I also loved the way you began the video saying to stop concentrating on the "Why" in terms of questioning why this is happening and then how you ended the video by bringing it back to "Why" but this time in terms of finding your purpose and why you do what you do. I loved that for some reason

[nannalambert]

You said "I am not a doctor, just a human being." I say you are in many ways better than a doctor. You project kindness, caring and above all love for life and humanity. Big hug to you and Alex

[LuaStutzer]
