  • Those drugs aren't designed to cure you. They are designed to get you addicted to them so that they can make money. I suggest a natural approach to dealing with your anxiety, such as a few double rye & cokes after work or before trying to fall asleep.

  • Y/T is all drama. It is part of the fun! hahaha nice to meet ya' Get away from the pills if you can.......good luck w/ it!

  • who are you? You got a lot of people watching your videos, you seem down to earth you should smoke weed if you don't man. It helps with a lot of problems in life

  • I think u would make a great thearapist yourself. I hope uve thought about it!

  • you look like taylor momsen :o

  • I like your videos but not when you got to the part of Obama. I don't think he is doing a good job at all & when talking about the health system reform, that is more like a government take-over than a reform. I'm glad I didn't vote for him. So many empty promises & lies that only a blind person or a child could not see it.

  • Hopefully people start seeing now his true colors & be more alert to other things to come from his administration & hopefully they are willing to make a stand against all his socialist reforms or government take-overs if you will.

  • Hi. I used to take Seroquel combined with Cymbalta for depression & Anxiety. Seroquel helps me quite well compared to other drugs I had been prescribed. But it did make me sleepy & gain weight. The Cymbalta make me nauseous all the time, so I told my psychiatrist & she changed them both for Abilify & Bupropion. They help but not much, compared to Seroquel. The good thing is that this ones now don't make me sleepy, but do get me in a bad mood often, though. They help a little but is not a cure.

  • I don't like bars mostly because they're noisy. Can't hear a darn thing if I'm trying to meet somebody. Plus I don't drink.

    I do claim to have drug free hallucinations though. If I get bored, I just try to start seeing weird stuff. Sometimes it works.

  • you shouldn't be taking drugs for anxiety!? doesn't your therapist help you overcome your anxiety rather than throwing drugs at it?!

  • I'm so glad to still see your beautiful smiling face on YouTube. Speaking of therapists, I can't stand mine either. I just canceled out of an appointment with my therapist because he is useless. Now, I do like my psychiatrist because she is so understanding and helpful. By the way, I am a big fan of Xanax and Ativan. They have helped me through many panic attacks. Anyway, you are a joy to watch and I think you are just the greatest for helping people. I hope everything is getting better for you!

  • Trust me, you are NOT the only one with bad luck with therapists. All the ones I've had SUCK.

  • Xxanex sucks. Well, it doesn't work for me, but everyones different. But for me it didn't do anything but make me feel dizzie and angry.

  • Why people want you dead. That's so mean. Karma is a bitch. Never wish death on someone because it will bite you when you least expect it

  • your too pretty to go to bars. when ever I think of theripists im reminded of the movie night breed.

  • No one wants you to die! We love you :]

  • I take Seroquel aka Quetiapine and it works but makes me sooo sleepy but some people it does'nt ask your Doc

  • Don't let therapy become a crutch.

  • So i guess the therapist doesn't have a job now !

  • aw no one wants you to die... i took atavan to sleep.....omg i would kill my theripist if she did that to me! you are not in debt to us we are in debt to you

  • they always distort what I say, and it makes me nervous. A lot of them try to manipulate and find out my secret. Me and Lovecraft. I've had a few try to cage me into certain things, and I've gotten away thus far, it seems +secret smile+ It's not like you're going to make them go away, and it's not like I always want you to. A few weeks ago was bad Of course, I'm an attention whore bc I have no worth, so anything I say is wrong anyway. I never have a right to be upset, but I must protect myself.

  • I've taken Xanax & it didn't really work.

    I felt tired like you were saying & it interfered with my school work.I've been to therapy, & honestly it doesn't help.I've been for anxiety, depression, & bi-polar issues.Xanax actually made me suicidal & wanna kil myself, so i don't reccomend it to anyone.

  • I completely understand. I've had the same issue. It seems like every time I find a really good therapist, I have to change because they move or whatever. And then it takes me forever to find another good one.

  • Love your videos, and btw, you are gorgeous.

    Thought I'd throw that out there. :p

  • I take valium and that works great! It's quite addictive though and I'm pretty sure your body builds up a tolerance to it as well, but it's great for crisis'. It takes maybe 20 minutes tro work, more or less depending on the individual. They seem to prescribe it a lot over here (Australia) so I don't know if it's even the same name over there I assume it is.

  • This is really off topic, sorry, but I love our hair like this. (:

  • Comment removed

  • you are really pretty. im jealous.

  • i went to therapy once...but i didnt know what to say....i just sat there staring at the lady...plus i find it kinda hard to talk to someone i dont know...i have to explain everything to them...

  • I can't find myself to talk to people, I'm used to being shy and keeping to myself that when I do talk to people, I have nothing to say, hopfully this changes, :(

  • You are really pretty. XD And ur videos are really helpful.

  • ive been listening to your video for a long time but have never written anything on here so using my mums accout (it sounds strange i know) thought id say hi and that...ive seen alot of your videos and they have helped...so erm, hey (lol)

  • my dad was on ativan for a while, like when he had his first job during nursing school. yeah it sucked, he had to take it way before whatever made him anxious.

    I'm 16 and I'm on xanax, at night for sleep and anxiety reduction. :/ My doctor was super hesitant to put me on that, since it's so strong, and she just didn't want to put me on it. but I am, it seems to be working okay, I guess...we tried like everything out there to help me sleep, xanax was the last resort.

  • Wow, anti anxiety medication doesn't really make me tired. So weird how things work differently for different people, I use ambien to sleep and it works great, I have horrible insomnia too. My doc didn't want to put me on ativan right away but he saw I didn't abuse it at all and took less than he even said I could take, it seems to work okay but sucks having to take it AFTER you feel anxious, it doesn't prevent it. Thx for the comment :)

  • im thinking of getting a therapist. but then i have to tell my mom all my secrets and i dont wanna do that so right now my ex bfs kinda my therapist cuz he help make me feel better just talking to him but then when we stop talking i get depressed agein and feel suisidel n go right back whare i started n its not fun and i bet allot of ppl know how i feel. so insted right now im writeing in my diary and it really helps so anyone who has trubule with that u should try haveing a diary it helps allot

  • Well, you could just tell your mom you have some private matters you would feel more comfortable talking to a therapist about and see what she says? I know it's hard. You have some really good alternatives though, I write in an online diary/journal and it really helps! I agree people should try writing about your feelings and talking to people who you can trust :) Take care!

  • i was alergic to ativan i freaked out big time. xanax does nothing.

  • Hey Sullengirl,

    You really, really, seem to have it together. I have anxiety and depression also and I can totally relate to you. I like your educational videos. Like the makeup, hair, etc. My mom takes Ativan.I take Xanax only when terribly stressed out.

  • but I also find it odd that it was prescribed to you for generalized anxiety verses anxiety attacks. Usually, ativan is used to slow the progression of, or stop anxiety attacks, especially when they have physical symptoms (i.e. heart palpitations, tingliong, hyperventilation) and that is why the effects are usually drowsiness, and a sort of "loose" feeling. Just thought I'd commnet and tell you in my treatment, ativan use was discontinued because of its addictive qualities. Great videos btw:)

  • Regarding the begining of the video: Im 15 yrs old and was diagnosed wiht anxiety disorder and severe depression about 1 1/2 years ago. I recently went inpatient and was treated there for a month. One thing I wanted to comment on was ativan usage. Prior to going inpatient, both my general dr and my ER drs (after being brought to the ER for sever panic attacks) prescribed ativan for me. I agree wiht your view about not wanting to have to anticipate anxiety , but I also find it odd..(continued)

  • I have also had reaaally bad therapists

    But I belive therapy can be good for everyone.. it helps you understand yourself... you can be the happiest person on earth and can stil get something out of it. But of course it's important to find someone that's good for you, hope you do... if you havent already ;)

    btw you look great!

  • Ive watched all your videos. Ive fired about three therapists myself. Dated one. Its a flawed system but we have to listen. Yes we know more than they do but unless we get help from someone else we are not going to get any better. WE are the experts on pills not them they only know what they read about side effects. But this is all we have to work with. If we fight therapy then were fighting to remain the way we are

  • You're right, it is flawed. I did say that I recommend therapy and that I will not give up on finding help and I mean that. There are good ones out there and no, we can't do this alone. I didn't want to stay on medication because my Therapist gave me the wrong dosage & couldn't remember I was even taking it, so I didn't feel comfortable with it. I think I'd like to go the natural route if at all possible before pumping the meds in. True, we do know more, that's why it's frustrating.

  • Actually Im full of crap. Ive been thinking about this all day and we ARE on our own. Im sorry. I dont believe in the sysytem and our families in many cases helped put us where we are. Its just a job. I doubt they start out not caring but the burn out is pretty bad. What we need hasnt been inventyed yet. remember teh vid you did about not being able to get help? Psych is an EXPERIMENTAL science. *hugs*

  • My therapist was almost an hour late for me once. The person before me had a complete psycotic breakdown during thier session. You dont know why he kept you waiting. I think you are being selfish. In my experience the people who change therapist soften and complain are the ones who are in fact "bad patients" Also in your videos you hav emetioned a lot about your pills, thats how I found you. You need to take them for the length and at the quantity you are instructed. You are not impartial here

  • You obviously are making assumptions based on ONE video, in which I definitely did not go into all the details of the situation. My therapist was late EVERY single time I had went, I had voiced the concern to him many times and he promised it wouldn't happen as often. I gave him many chances, doubtful that EVERY patient had a psychotic breakdown. Also, I have taken medication for required lengths of time in the past, wellbutrin made me too sick. But, thanks for the opinions.

  • I was forced to go to therapy by my school.

    When I got there I got told to stop being such a emo and to just live with it.

    I didn't want to go back ever again so I kept skipping school.

    They eventually gave up and couldn't be bothered trying to make me go any more.

    I don't really think therapy is for me.

  • you look amazing :)

    I really hope you'll find a new therapist

  • i dont blame you for firing your therapist

    i would but im only 13

    soooo im just kinda forced to go..

    and if i dont i have to go to wellstone

  • When I used to go to therapy sessions, it was normal for me to have to wait 30 minutes or more almost every time, even when I had a therapist I liked. I don't know, to me it's just a normal thing? But yeah, it was completely unprofessional for him to tell you to "get over it". What an ass.

  • ok first off i just want to say your reaallyy pretty and i wish i could have eyes as gorgous as yours second of all my therapist story is that she fired me, i came in happy one day, the first time i was happy in weeks and she said i didnt have to come in anymore because i seemed all better so my therapist fired me which kindof sucked because i liked going to her cause i finally found someone to vent to and trust me i need to vent but anyways thats that my therapist fired me

  • even therapists go to therapists. lol

    I know your were being serious, but the words just went into my ears hilarious.

  • you're pretty :)

  • Looking gorgeous hun! Love the eyes! :)

  • Therapy is just a waist of time for me. :/ I've had about 8 different therapists in my life, none of them have really helped me, the best therapist you could ever have is someone who is going through or has been through the same problems you've had.

  • I've met at least 30 and the ones that have a private practice and offer a sliding scale, they are the better ones esp if they work with those who SI.

  • That's so unprofessional.

  • I refuse to take medication and once the therapist finds out that I still have my own free will they give up on me. Stay strong xxxx

  • Man, he soundslike a total inconsiderate asshole. You shold definitely not have to put up with that shit. And don't stress and haters. =) Chin up.

  • taking medication is not like taking tylenl or advil. You'r suppose to take it consistantly until it's in your system and then don't go off it and things'll be cool. =)

  • citalopram. =)

  • yeah but therapists aren't allowed to give out medication :/

  • thanx

    i totally love u

    u inspire me

  • i saw a theapist like 2 years ago. basically they get paid to listen to u and try to answer some bs questions.

    aniexty never goes away until you figure out what it truley causes it. if anything talking to someone else makes you hold your emotions off so u dont look like a fool

  • i kno what you mean!!!

    i hate therapists!

  • im currently seeing a girl who suffers from depression anxiety and panic attacks.its not easy sometimes because every remotely serious conversation we have she starts crying.its tough not being able to help her all the time but i just wanted to say that your videos really help me try to understand her better. just wanted to say thanks!

  • YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!! CAN I BE YOUR FRIEND?

    when I was a teenager I had a bad experience with a therapist. I asked my parents if I could see a therapist, I was able to get a 6 week consult and the first 5 weeks I assumed went well, but on the 6th week I went to the office my start time came and after waiting about 30 min I asked the receptionist where she was and she said she quit and wasnt even in the building anymore

  • That was a really great video, I live in Australia and am kinda new to stress and depression therapy. And I was just wondering if you had any advice for me as I have year 10 exams this week and I get really stressed (and deprived of sleep!).

    Thanks!

  • your eyes are so pretty xx

  • dude. good therapists are hard to come by. that guy needs to be shot.

  • u are doing the right thing. he was such an arse and shouldnt be a thearapist maybe if he cant be right about itx

  • my docs won't give me anything. as far as my anti-D's they won't give me anything that stronger because i have my kids. It's like what u said I'm okay and suddenly i crash, tired, anexity, dreppression to the point i start getting suicidal. most i've been offered is to take me off anti'd's all together...like fuck where would that leave me right. grr. hope things work out for you

  • I love your videos so much! Keep it up! You're helping lots of people including me and you're my favorite subscribtion =]!

    P.S. I love your make-up.

  • I'm the same on benzos (like adivan/xanax). Does squat for me cause it doesn't change the thoughts. It just slows the central nervous system, so slow things down if u have physical symptoms that make u more nervous. If you're not worried about the physical symptoms then it's not going to do much.

  • wow. such a good video. and you are looking so pretty these days!

  • Have I mentioned that your make-up is always perfect?

  • I don't blame ya for not going back to that therapist, I would have done the same..I hope you have better luck with the next one! Whoever is causing the drama should grow the fuck up, I'll find them and kick them :) Anyways, again thank you for making your videos and I'm definatly going to keep watching them! Have a good week!

    Amanda

  • I refuse to take anti-anxiety meds they just seem bad, they're addictive and if you're pregnant can cause birth defects and side affects are depression suicidal thoughts and wanting to hurt yourself, they also say changed in appetite may occur, to me that's the "good way" of saying you'll be hungrier and will gain weight, but i'm kind of paranoid lol, i stick to my one medication Wellbutrin cuz it has no bad side effects only good ones, like weight loss : )

  • That Therapist is awful! It's a good thing you stopped seeing him! Well good luck with finding a new Therapist!!

  • wow thats sucks that your therapist didnt come out what a jackass its his job to see people not just bail

    btw you look so amazing i love ur makeup

  • It sounds like you did the right thing. The therapist should be working for you not ignoring you. I have taken xanex before and it works really well, but it makes me really drowsy too.

    Shawn

  • Keep making the videos...you help a lot of people!!! :)

  • Youtube hates me. I can never send a comment or reply ONE time. It never goes through so I have to do it again. :(

    I don't even remember what I said, lol. Something about sucky therapists...suck! I had a similar experience with a counselor at my school so I know how frustrating it can be. I'm glad that you still advocate therapy even though you've had bad experiences. I agree that it is definitely beneficial if you find yourself with someone who gives a crap!

  • Plus, who are these douche bags giving you trouble? I'mma have to kick some flamer butt!

  • i was hopping to see a video from you soon!

    that it really horrible that your therapist did not come out to meet with you!!!!! thats his job!! not kool

    totally time to find a new one!!!!

  • you look beautiful here doll. i always watch your videos, although i don't think i've ever given you a comment. you're such a capricorn! keep doing what you're doing, please. although i don't have the problems you, or many of your subscribers do, i still enjoy watching your enthusiasm and your views. love from the u.k; beckie xxx.

  • Yeah waiting rooms are like elevators in how uncomfortable they can be. I've had one experience with my therapist making me wait, but that was because she was having a crisis with another client. Did your therapist give you an explanation for the wait? I think it's crazy how you keep having bad luck with therapists. You seem like the ideal patient who any therapist would love to talk to.

  • you look really stunning. missed you for a while. im really glad youre back. i cant believe your therapist bailed on you like that. he does have a responsibility to his job and to keep his word. it sounds like he just took advantage of you--your time, your patience, etc. you do have a right to be pissed about that because you wouldnt see a therapist if you didnt need to/want to, and its only once a month. its not your time is any inconvenience to him. better luck finding a better therapist

  • man what a jackass. makes you wait for an hour? that's insane. :/

    i'd love some ativan though. or other tranqs. why don't they prescribe valium anymore?

  • I don't blame you at all for leaving that therapist, I think you have every right. Therapist should be there for their patients when they say they will. So, I think you did do the right thing by leaving.

    I have that same problem in waiting rooms, etc. I usually bring along my iPod and listen to music and even still people will try to talk to me, ear buds in and all.

    Thank you for making these videos. you are a huge inspiration and i always look forward to your videos, don't stop.

    -Alyssa

  • If making videos/vlogging helps you to feel better, that's excellent! Sounds like you have some therapy going as you speak. Onward and upward, right? I'm the mysterious barefoot cowboy & notorious tickle master. I'm my own therapist. lol I say that partly in jest. Barefooting and tickling can work wonders. Very effective stress relievers. Nice to meet you, SullenGirl.

  • I mean, nice to meet you, Christie.

  • ativan was GREAT for me........until i overdosed on it......

    but yeah it just mellowed me out and made me tired, but hey, that's good compared to full fledged anxiety.

  • Good to see you again!

    I don't blame you,I would have left too!

    I also agree that therapy is good,not just for us 'crazies',but for any/everyone..It's good to have someone who is 'neutral' to talk to about things,A different perspective is always a good thing.

    Take care! *hugz*

    P.S.-You do seem happier. :-)

  • But you seem a lot happier in this video. I think that going out with your friends has done you good :)

    My counsellor would always show up like 40 minutes late or forget to put my app. in for that day -_-

    Im going to a psych now ... only been once, we shall see...

  • Awh I've missed you, been checking youtube for your vids :)

    I was thinking about you on the bus the other day, and I think that sometimes you get so anxious because you take all the worlds problems onto your own shoulders, yknow? And if anything bad happens, you take it as a personal attack ... I know a lot of crap happens in your life, but i think you take on too much for one person to handle yknow?

    Maybe sometimes you just need to let it all go. I know its not that easy but its worth a shot

  • I hate it when someone in the waiting room will start up a conversation, especially when I am reading a book. If they start talking to me, I just smile and go back to my book. My doc office waiting room is so small, people sit behind me, in front of me, on the sides of me, I often just want to leave and say muck it all. The doc office is the most stressful thing for me.

    BTW, you looked really pretty in this video (you usually do!)

  • I am glad that you still trying. It is hard to find someone that you have a rapport with. That was rude of the Therapist to treat u that way and I would have been angry too.

  • When I was hospitalized the nurses would come around every night and ask the mental patients if they wanted Adivan. I took it once or twice and it didn't do a thing for me.

    As for doctors being late, I had a terrible one for about ten months. I only got rid of him because we moved several health districts away. He was always two+ hours late.Thankfully when we got back my doctor talked an adult psychiatrist to see me, as I was seventeen. He's the only one who can treat kids in the area

    Love

    Amber

  • My medicine Lamictal makes me tired too. I've taken xanax, it helps me alot. My anxiety is probably as bad as yours and xanax works fast and doesn't make me tired. I take it once a day sometimes twice a day. Lately work is killing me and so it's very helpful. Where do you live? can you see anyone anywhere? i tend to wait 30 mintues till my appointment. it's frustrating waiting in a room too. makes me cringe. I can do a search for you. so let me know ok. :)

  • how do ou get a border thingy with your name on it? do you have to pay for it or something please respond

  • Your hair looks so pretty!

    Sorry about your therapist. It must be so hard to find one that's good for you.

  • I took Ativan for a bit but the same thing happened to me so I don't take it anymore. it make my anxiety seem worse.

  • I like your videos, please don't die. :]

  • I take Ativan and does make you tired. Actually its used to put hospital patients to sleep. I know because I've had to help people take it. I would suggest not taking it with alcohol. If really had to sleep I took 4 mil of it. But I would not suggest that either. I've had a fair amount of experience taking it and giving it to people so, if you did have a question or something message me.

  • i missed u!

  • i take gabitril ..it dosent work

  • No, you aren't being petty....firing your therapist because you don't like his hair piece, THAT is petty :)

  • My psychiatrist put me on ativan for food anxiety because of anorexia. I was supposed to take it "as needed" but it altogether did nothing. My friends have had similiar issues with it, so don't worry. I stopped taking it because (like you) it made me really lethargic and someone out of it. It's kind of a problem, seeing as I'm in school.

  • I'm glad for you! You can find a better therapist. By the way..Your hair is amazing :)

  • I think therapists make their patients wait for hours on end is hazing. If you just sit and wait and then wait so more, the therapist knows you really want this. Have you watched the "In treatment" series on HBO? Its really excellent.

  • Wow, I didn't know that. I would have sat and waited as long as it took had he been a new therapist, but since this has happened continually and I have been seeing him for quite a while, I didn't think anything of it. I haven't seen the "in treatment" series, but I will try to catch it because it sounds interesting.

  • I watch that show. Was there an episode where Paul did that to a patient? I really don't remember.

  • Hmmm, I really dont know what you mean when you say there's been lots of drama lately on youtube. I guess I missed it. Anyway, I don't what you to think that I'm hitting on you or anything but I've gotta say, you look really good in this video. I've always thought you looked nice but you look exceptionally great today.

  • I'm not sure but I think she was referring to her last couple videos about the election. There was a lot of drama in the comments section.

  • I feel bad for you. The phychiatric health system in Scotland is so good for us. You should come here (:

  • Terribly unrelated as I'm only about 2 minutes into your video, but I missed your videos! And I cannot wait until you put up your Christmas tree!! I love the Marilyn Monroe decorations you use!

  • long hair suits you best

  • Good luck on finding a therapist. My current theraist never more than 5 minutes late when see her.

  • Good for you. Don't let them push you around.

  • klonopin really helped me with anxiety and it works almost immediatly. You should check that out if you haven't yet.

  • i really hope you find a good therapist :). i agree that it's ridiculous to have to wait in a waiting room for a hour. i also agree that he should have notified you if he would be busy or something and just re-schedule instead of making you wait that long

  • 5th comment! :D

  • I have "counseling" *cough*therapy*cough*for the first time on the fourth for grief/SI. I am really not looking forward to it. I just don't think it'll be right for me. And, also, therapy is really looked down on where I'm from. Well, your video convinced me that I might as well just try it. Thanks.

  • Well I am glad you are deciding to give it a go :) It could be a really good thing. Like i said, you don't have to go if you hate it. It is hard when people look down on therapy, but as a whole it is becoming somewhat more accepted, and you just need to do what's right for YOU and not think about anyone else's opinions. Good luck, I hope it helps!

  • I used to go to counselling, I think that's therapy. Didn't really help me, they told me to 'just stop', which I didn't appreciate...I guess it's hard to know what to tell people to do. By the way, I love your hair and I adore your necklace :]

  • I wish you luck with that. I know the feeling. At least you had the strength to walk out and not take shit from people like that. I hate waiting in waiting rooms myself. makes me so anxious and critical or others and that's just not me. love the video as always. thanks

  • Heya hun! Ya I don't blame you for firing your therapist. There is a lot better out there for you :) And that's weird about ativan, been a while since i've taken that one, but xanax which I take now takes positive effect within a minute or two of taking it.

    See my email ;)
