So good to see you back and happy you're doing better. I've been watching your vids since WAY back. :) Can't remember if I've commented on them too much though... But I'm always interested in what you have to say etc. And I love the style in which you tell your life's story... :)

I don't know the Canadian system btw, so I may have misheard something you said... I heard you said you're going on "hey charlie". WTH? I must have heard wrong?? (lol)

Can't wait for your next vid. Srsly. :) -Sinkku

@bluesinkku Hahaha... in fact, I said I was going on HRLE. Which stands for Human Resources, Labor & Employment. Which is the polite way of saying welfare. Lol.

Thanks so much for the comment!! I definitely remember your username, for the record. :)

Bipolar ... thats my dx.

You said it yourself; you've seen all the numbers on the scale. And no matter what that bastard dial showed, you found no solace in it.

Don't let it trick you into thinking that 'this' time, a different number will mean a different life. It won't. Sadly, finding 'calm' is so much harder. You've done so much of the work already.

Find that motivation again. Focus on that. The money stuff and 'labels' cannot be made central.

Keep talking, and writing, it helps.

Peace, LS

Wow. So here I am trolling for laughing babies and reaction videos and YT puts this vid on my home page. You are speaking again. And man, you have a talent for it.

I listened real close to every word.

You, are smart. And brave. And beyond 'together'. Don't start doubting that now!

Go back, watch the first half of this video again. Remember, two months, eight weeks, 56 long hard days of putting yourself through the emotional wringer. THAT, is the real reason why those numbers don't matter.

Carolyn, did you ever think of teaching yourself to cook as therapy?

It can actually help.

always lovely to see a video from you, so glad that you're embracing treatment, you seem much, much more positive & hopeful than your last video! :-)

with love

i was a little worried about you

[thingsthatneverwere]

I was so happy to see you made another video and even happier to hear how you have been going. I have been watching your videos since you first started making them and seeing your ups and downs have been hard but also made me feel less alone.

I am so proud that you are moving forward in your recovery. i am really proud of you.

remember you are only human so dont feel too bad for any possible slipbacks, you can do this, i believe in you xxooxxoo
