Hey. I just found your videos and this is the second one I've watched (the other one was your self-injury support site) so excuse me if I sound ignorant to your situation because I really don't know much about you at all.

With the therapy... once a friggin month? That's basically pointless unless you're in recovery or doing relatively well (which I'm not sure if you are or not as I don't know you.. lol). I wouldn't stand for once a month appointments. Fortnightly at the minimum!

xxoo

Yeah, the therapy IS only once a month at best. If I am lucky it's once every 3 weeks. I had a month and a half span this time around, and that was RIGHT after they put me on new meds. It's SO unprofessional. :( I am not in recovery, not really no, so it doesn't do a bit of good!

WOAH, I watch Lost too! (NOBODY seems to watch it around here...) :P

[xsullengirlx]

I have no idea how people can NOT watch that show, I am addicted. All the stuff that's been happening lately is just... Blowing my freakin' mind!

as someone who has dealt with anxiety and depression for most of my life, the best thing you can do is stop watching the news. spend about a half an hour updating yourself with headlines during the day but don't fall in with any of the 24 hour news networks. And if you need something funny go on hulu and watch arrested development, it's probably one of the funniest shows of the past decade.

I watch MadTV, SNL, or The Onion clips on YouTube. Or comedians doing skits on Comedy Central. It really does relieve my stress. I used to listen to news and shows on politics, and it would just increase my anxiety and anger. I also avoid engaging with toxic people on the Internet. I used to let a**holes on the net get under my skin; I've learned to ignore them. All of these things have helped me. I'm proud of you for taking steps to meet your challenges! You're a good example to others.

I watch youtube puppy and kitty cute animal videos or funny videos whether I like them or not. It seems to help. Or I focus on working on pics and art on photoshop on my computer. I have super anxiety and PTSD from years of trauma unchecked.

[Christopher711]

Yeah , I end up watching a lot of true crime shows such as American Justice , North Mission Road , as well as others. I need to watch more comedy , but these shows have such a strong pull on me even though I am not sure watching them is good for my psychological health.

[xsullengirlx]

I appreciate people's opinions, I think it's important to share them. I think there are too many people who use SI as a stereotype (ie: emo), and glorify it by being graphic and supporting self harm. I think it's good for people to spread awareness without being graphic, it's always helped me to read about other's experiences, so I just thought I'd share my own here, that was my only motive when I set out making videos. :)

[xsullengirlx]

Why are you being negative nancy on all my videos? I have described in detail in other videos what my disabilities and mental illnesses are, and no it's not just social anxiety. I am sorry you have had to go through anxiety, I only started really struggling with that symptom about 3 years ago and it's really hard. I am in therapy, and not taking any drugs. I agree with you. None of my videos, btw, are a pity party.

[jessicahanson]

The once a month thing is really dumb. No one can make progress in once a month. I hope you can find a therapist or counselor that you can see more than that. Luckily for me all of my counselor's I've been able to see once a week or sometimes even twice a week.

[lilmommax]

btw dont let that asswipe make you feel bad about not working.. i watched your other vids and commented on my similar problems with keeping a job so i can relate. i wish i could get disability... it would probably pay more than my crappy job does anyway : ) keep your head up honey its all going to be alright.

[lilmommax]

sorry you got such bad advice from your counselor, rob and big sucks its stupid!!!

[xGreyDayx]

Aww what a sweet dog. I awwed out loud. That'd be interesting though, "Despite your panic attack during the evaluation, based on color of clothing you wore, you're denied benefits, I hate blue." Wouldn't put it past the government to do something like that. Hope you're having a good time at your parent's house.

[87blahh87]

No prob, any time :) I just really hate when people judge others without knowing or understanding. It's just ignorant, so I couldn't knowingly let that happen. On a lighter note, I hope you had fun with your doggy this weekend :)

[xsullengirlx]

Thank you for sticking up for me, 87blahh87, i appreciate it. Some people really don't get it - and they analyze things to death, and then don't understand and try to twist my words. I needed to be approved for my disability again, so "having it in the bag" was an offhand comment but it's true, I NEEDED it, so it was a good thing not an underhanded thing. Anyway, thanks again.

[xsullengirlx]

had it in the bag was an expression I used based on how MORTIFIED I was at what happened when I had the actual evaluation, if you watched that video you would know. If you watched ANY of my videos you would know I do not LIKE being unemployed, which is due to a mental illness which I have a hard time controlling. How DARE you talk to me like that, if you don't like me then don't watch my videos, pretty simple concept. Don't put words in my mouth, YOU need to try a little TACT honey!

[Starchild91]

Oh my god, your dog is adorable.

Give her a little kiss from me, will ya? :D

[87blahh87]

There's no way that I can just ignore this comment...where the hell do you get off saying shit like that to someone? If you don't like it don't watch it, cause I can assure you that pretty much anyone else who watches Christie's videos regularly is pissed off after reading your comment.

[supercas29]

'had it in the bag?' Sounds like you like being unemployed huh? Get a grip! Try a lil self esteem honey! what do you have to be so damn down on your self for? Either slit yer wrists and get it over with or get outta that damn house by yourself and do something with some people that think your valueable, and take a few tips from them!!!

[xsullengirlx]

I am house sitting for my parents. In a big house. I usually live in a small apartment, so I was just saying that it's a weird adjustment at the moment :P

[xNikkinightmareXx]

I probably spaced out

and randomly stopped listening,

but..wht are you in a big house?

*slightly confused*

I love your doggie :D!

Imma marry it!

[leighannenoelle]

I LOVE Rob and Big! How could you think it's not funny??? Ha ha ha, they're so cute together! Maybe you just saw a bad episode. Anyway, your dog is cute! She looks like an Ewok!

I've heard about the b12 as well- I know sometimes I have depression issues and I find that when I take a multivitamin (and it does have b vitamins in it) regularly I do feel better.

Also, Exercise is great cause it promots the production of dopamine and endorphins- which makes you happy.

maggie = cute!
