not gonna lie lately i’ve been feeling a off... i've had a bad mental health week which was so confusing to me because life is SO good right now.... nothing is necessarily wrong but i've still be struggling. but instead of trying to force a fun and happy vlog i thought i'd just bring you guys along for the day as we try to find little ways to get out of this slump together. i guess this is your reminder that bad mental health days can still happen even in good seasons of life 🤍 i hope this video helps even just one person feel less alone.

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm normally such a lurker but I wanted to pop in and say that I really appreciate your vulnerability here and I'm sending you such calming and positive energy. I have bipolar disorder so I definitely understand that feeling of being in a bad mood contrasting with how great life is all around you. It sounds trite but you really are not alone in this and we're all in this together 🙏🏼
You’re gorgeous in this video. Both internally and externally. Watching you navigate your mental health was such a beautiful thing. Don’t forget to give yourself grace and appreciate that - yes, your feelings are overwhelming sometimes but it’s such a blessing to be able to feel this hard. I hope you’re feeling better🩷
Watching you talk through it so honestly made me feel seen in a way I didn’t expect. Thank you for sharing the little moments and the messy parts, it genuinely helps to know we’re all just trying our best to find our way back to ourselves.
Needed this badlyyyy. My mental health has been deteriorating for a few months now & I feel like I can’t get out 😢
This is the best video you’ve ever made, just because of how real and personal and relatable it is. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us. I suffer from anxiety and depression, and it can be a vicious cycle. Thank you for giving us lots of ideas to break the cycle!
Well first off I hope you're feeling better. I personally get tired of people talking about being productive because if you work a job you're productive if you have made your bed you did something productive iyou washed your clothes you have done something. I hate when a thing becomes a thing and everyone jumps on it. I have sat on my couch and read my book I have gone outside and watered my plants because I'm tired and being productive is taking care of me and my body. Awesome video as always. One day at a time. Yesterday is gone tomorrow doesn't exist yet so we have today and we have the strength we need for today.
Productivity can mean anything from making your bed, doing a load of laundry, vacuuming, going for a walk, or reading a book (plus a lot more etc). We also have to learn that it’s unrealistic and unhealthy to be productive 24-7 as downtime is ok as long as it’s balanced.
I always tell people that my mental health is no different than my MS. They are both illnesses. No one would expect me to be productive if I had an MS relapse, so having a mental health relapse needs just as much care. Be gentle with yourself, please.
I’m currently feeling burnt out from work and my mental health is suffering, I’ve been trying to get out the funk/burn out, this video came at the right time. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable! Hope your mental health continues to improve!
Anxiety is no joke!! It can feel debilitating. I like to remind myself that those feelings and thoughts are almost like visitors and they come and go. Sometimes I let them linger because it feels like they won’t ever leave but they always do!
CARTERR - Theon Von is not just come random dude 😭😭😭😭 that made me LOL - love your videos & your realness as always. These videos get uploaded at the best times, as I feel like this lately.
Are you hosting a barbecue with all those hotdog and sausages you got or is that just normal?
Carter, I'm right there with you. I'm sending you a big hug!! Remember that you're already doing great working on those little 5%s of trying to move forward. Thanks for being so vulnerable and real with us xo
Carter, you should be so incredibly proud by how you took care of yourself in these harder mental health moments girl! You’re incredibly self-aware which I’m sure is a blessing and a curse. I myself have been struggling and just got myself back into therapy for a little “tune up” as I call them every few years to get myself feeling like myself again. I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling down (but not out) though truly. I know the feeling all too well and it hurts… Sending love my friend thank you for sharing your journey with us 🩵
Carter, wow did I need this!! Thank you for posting and for sharing your real and raw experience. I literally just talked to my mom about what “productivity” looks like. And today, productivity looks like “I tried.” Trying is the success for today. Visible output isn’t it today. Maybe tomorrow, and maybe not. ❤❤
This video has helped me so much. I too have been having a bad mental health month and knowing that it’s depression scares me because truth be told I haven’t felt this empty in some time. That’s scary for me! And it’s bright and sunny out so I really thought something was wrong with me and that why am I so depressed!!?! And seeing that you’re going through the same thing definitely makes me feel less alone and less hard on myself
Those swing days are always sooo hard. I try so desperately to get that upward momentum going the second I feel like it might happen. Doesn’t always work, but I’m always very grateful when it does. I so appreciate you sharing your experience because it is SO REAL and SO RELATABLE! I hope you continue to feel that 1 to 10% better each day until you feel good again🫶🏻
I’m glad you posted this. Have been struggling with some mental health issues and this came at the perfect time. ❤
