UR VOICE IS THE MOST COMFORTING THING EVER

petition for dodie to make another asmr video


To summarise:

Exercise and 'uncreak your bones'
-this doesn't have to be extreme or long, you can just put on some music and work up a sweat dancing!

Get prepped and feel prepped
-don't stay in dirty, smelly pj's all day, save that for weekends!

Mediate/think and listen in gratitude
-just sit, maybe listen to sounds or look out a window, and just...think

Find fulfilment and/or control
-organise something or move furniture, feel productive!

Combat loneliness (not just with FaceTime!)
-just have someone with you (not necessarily in person) and do nothing, maybe watch something together

Find comfort
-watch a comfort show or listen to comfort music

Pass time nicely
-spend time knitting, making a bracelet, doing a puzzle, etc.

'Quick fire round':

-Light candles in the dark

-Have a bath with candles

-Bake something

-Open a window/go outside in a garden/balcony (wash your hands after!)

I hope this helps someone x
Stay safe :)

I love seeing comments like this thank you ❤

Wait you're such a nice person! I hope you're doing well and stay positive! Lots of love 💓💚💘

Excuse you but my pajamas are clean and smell great

I've just come back to this comment - I'm sorry and i didn't mean to annoy anyone! I just wanted to be helpful for some people and I'm glad if it has 😊 I'm sure we'd all appreciate a bit of positivity at this time and I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone 🤷♀

alexandrinaaa as someone who doesn’t remember verbal communication too well and have executive dysfunction it is very helpful to have it written down. I can also put it as my background to remind myself then! I know it might come off as rude, but it is very helpful for some 💕 and I do still watch and appreciate the video regardless of this comment

@alexandrinaaa do you have to be so negative...

Do you have to summarize a 4 minute video...


At this point, dodie is not just a youtuber

She's a state of mind

She's always had a sweet peaceful presence about her. 🌸💗


"Have a friend to exist with." Hm. Yes. I heard it wisely said years ago that "we're human be ings, not human do ings."

Nice. I like that. Thank you I'll remember that. 😊♥🌹


Am I the only one who feels like they're listening to asmr while watching Dodie? Her voice is so freaking soothing!

asmr freaks me out but listening to dodie talk is like asmr but i don’t get freaked out

No cause asmr makes me feel uncomfortable but dodie is more calming

It also helps that there´s no background music in her vloggy stuff, at least for me personally to not overload. I´ve actually just started noticing that, it´s pretty rare

She did a couple of ASMR videos too, love her voice!


How is dodie so pretty? Isolation has turned me into a goblin, she’s still so pretty

i suggest watching dodie's other video, "my inner goblin"<br>she has her own goblin in her, and maybe that can help you love yours too :)

When we sit down to make a vid we also tend to find a visual we're comfortable with having on camera<3 Take some time to feel like a pretty goblin? <3 =)

I was thinking the same thing. My hair alone looks like it’s had a rough life😬


I am a doctor and I just wanted to say that your music is my comfort music and I've found myself revisiting your content lately after a couple of years. Thanks so much for doing your part in this crisis to provide comfort to some of us on the frontlines. I want you to know your work is so important.


Thank you so much. This helped a lot. I started feeling trapped a 3 days ago after 20+days in isolation. Was lying doing nothing now, feeling just worse. This motivated me to get out of bed. It's something. Thank you. Stay safe and take care of yourself as much as you can 🙏🏼

This is the most feel good thread this week. Y'all are magnificent!

that's ideal then, if you can't go outside you're in your own company

We can all share in being awkward introverts together! But how should we go about that?

Miss Ravenclaw i’ll be your friend my dude. if you’d like one haha

Let’s be introverted and awkward together?


i was really needing a video like this. my senior year has been completely ruined, so thank you for reminding me to take care of myself during a time it is the LAST thing i am thinking of.

A few of my closest friends are seniors and this is tearing them apart. Take care of yourself and be with the ones you love.

Taylor Lander i'm a senior too, and am having a really hard time with all of this. stay strong  💓💓💓


dodie has a way of being sooo calming 🥺✨


isolation’s left me alone with my thoughts and i think that’s the scariest thing, i keep getting worried and thinking about what i’ll do once this is over and where my life’s going. i think i just need to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, and that no matter where i choose to go next, what college i go to or what path i take, i’ll be ok. i get into this habit of wanting to know the future and wanting to have a set plan and goal, but life’s just not like that, i think i just need to settle in on the mindset of ‘whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will always work out’, i need to focus on the here and now and focus on the future when it becomes the present.

I feel you, I graduated University last year and I'm terrified of not knowing where my life is going - and since isolating I've definitely fallen into the trap of overthinking and questioning what next step would be "best" or the "right one". (Being left alone with your own thoughts can be a scary thing at times). Truth is, no matter what we end up doing, we'll be okay. I'm going to try and settle into that mindset of "whatever happens" too! Hope you're safe and well x

Absolutely! Thanks for taking time to read that and talk care of yourselves. ❤ keep going y’all!

@A lil’ Daisy this is so, so helpful. i always forget to do this even tho my therapist reiterates it everytime i see her, but since not seeing my therapist as im coping a bit better and ofc isolation, it slips my mind. ive always loved writing poetry so yeah, i should try and write poetry more for self care. tysm for this :')

@A lil’ Daisy Yeah I perfectly understand where you were coming from... Being a creative person but not being able to express... I understand it's a process and it takes time and is always advisable to find your own way around it. But I guess, letting go of the fear is a great way to start( hard to execute..but on it!) ...Thanks!!

Don’t get me wrong, my mental health issues are still on going as mental health isn’t a “phase”, but a lifetime. But I’ve felt exactly like that. TERRIFIED of being trapped with my mind cause I knew it would spiral me down. But what I learned to do, was to sit there, feel that emotion, sometimes even help myself to really feel it with movies or shows, and express it. I’ve always been creative, with incredible ideas, but poor execution. So once my situation improved for a while, I improved my methods of expression, and learned new ones. I’ve never been more proud of myself, because now that some new tough things have come my way, naturally I’m out putting a lot of creative stuff. Don’t get me wrong, the things are still really tough to deal with, but at least now I don’t give into the former temptation of “if I start feeling crappy, distract myself, until I can’t escape it anymore, then implode on myself.”

So here’s my tip: you may not be good at it at first, but when you start feeling bad, don’t pretend it’s not there or just stew on it/let your brain run away with you. Pull out your phone or a notebook, (maybe put some music on that triggers these emotions/thoughts if you feel inclined (this will also help if you were like me and used to be afraid of listening to songs/music that sent me down. It breaks the feeling of fear around those things.)) ,and just begin writing. Could be a song or poem with structure and very specific topic, or just a stream-of-consciousness style rant. No rules, no shame. Just you, letting those things go. Let them go. This helped me, and I hope it will help some of you guys. ❤
Ps: on my channels there’s a playlist titled “in my feels” and it’s what I use to help me express these things. Use it if you wish.

reading y’all’s replies has helped so much, it’s comforting to know i’m not alone, i hope we all get through this tough time x

couldnt agree more. bc i get so anxious, im always trying to prepare for whats coming and, in turn, trying to speed up the experience thats coming or whatever it is. constantly thinking and planning the next thing, but i cant do that because i have no clue what the next thing is or when itll be. scary.

tOaSt will do, i hope the depression gets easier to manage soon x

thinking about your life and the future doesn't have to be bad, it can be nice to dream about what sort of person you could to be, all the fun things you want to do Etc, Etc.
I say this because you said you need to, "settle in on the mindset of 'whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will work out alright'"
and people never say that about good things.
you also said "whatever collage I go to or what path I take, I'll be ok".
many older people I know say that there are always choices and chances to change your mind, you are never really stuck on one path.
Thoughts can be scary, but your mind is your own and quiet time for reflection isn't always a bad thing, it might give you a chance to untangle some of these thoughts.
I shall leave you with my favourite quote from Niels Bohr, "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future." :)

Oh I’m so sorry! I feel the same way, I sunk into a bad depression about a month ago and got sent to a mental hospital because of it. Just try and force yourself to do something that makes you happy like listen to good music or be productive so you don’t do anything I did

Not going to lie this is exactly how I’m feeling right now

Miss Ravenclaw , i appreciate this a lot, thank you :)

I feel you. I always believed I would know eXaCtLy what to do once I’m older, but now that I’m “older” I feel even more uncertain, but I’m happy with where I am(for now). So, what I’m trying to say say is: you’ll be fine. I’m not articulate, so I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense; but please know that thou art not alone.🙃❤


cheesy but this really did make me feel less alone. i'm going through a weird time with a break up and then regretting said breakup and it hurts not being able to see him and talk things out, or see my friends. i really do feel stuck and sad and feel a bit teary typing this lol but thank you for uploading this, calmed me down. x

I know it's not worth a lot but I really hope you will feel better soon and be able to communicate how you feel to them. All the best <3

me too!!!! very weird feeling, can confirm <3 we will get through this luv.

Im going through a very similar experience. Me and my partner broke up the night before i returned home for isolation. Like you said, it was really hard jot being able to talk about the things i wanted to say, and to not have the comfort of being with my friends. Youre not alone in this and things will slowly get better xx

I’m sorry you’re going through this rn. I have no experience in dating, but I have had crushes and those are hard to let go of I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.🍩 Here’s a virtual donut to make you feel better. 💜


Who thinks that her videos are the best thing there is out there during this corona madness? ❤ Thank you so much my love!
I hope you're well and I wanna recommend you some super cool chill music for these days: Benedict Ammann - Love ain't cheap
Sending you all love from Italy ❤

Happy Birthday! my birthday was also a few days ago- remember to treat yourself! make your favorite food, watch your favorite movie, and find something nice to occupy you(i played piano and went on a walk in the park) also enjoy this opportunity to not stress about making your birthday amazing, and just chill with yourself, bc you're the best person to be with!! i definitely understand being sick of the people you're with,  (in this case, my family) but this day is about you and not about them, focus on yourself. I hope this helped in some way, have a great day <3

Happy Birthday! It'll pass and you'll celebrate ❤

thank you dodie ❤ you're literally like a big sister to me. you're so wise and your advice is so helpful to me and so many other people!

alsooo i love those little drawings 🥺


Dodie  72 years ago  Fred Rogers Mom talked about you!

''When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news my mother would say to me,  ' Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping..' To this day especially in times of 'disaster', I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers- so many caring people in this world.'_' - Mr Fred Rogers

You've been my go-to selfcare artist for years and years 💕 Thank you so much. I hope you're okay too 💖


THANK YOU FOR BEING THIS CARING ABOUT US DODIE WE LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH


I swear, dodie’s existence and her music just makes my brain chill.


dodie: "watch your comfort content"
me: yes that's what I'm doing right now 💅

love you dodie <33


i've always looked up to you for advice like this and I really appreciate it a lot. you're words are so comforting whether it's in the form of a song or not. i admire you for that. thank you for helping me get through rough patches Dodie


well this was lovely🥰 hope everyone’s staying safe! each day that goes by we are a day closer to going back to normal lots o love☺


Another tip: Read a book, it gives your brain something else to focus on.


To kind of add on to the last one, open windows!! It allows for nice ambient noise, and it just overall makes your room feel like enclosed and stuffy imo :)


please please make more videos of you just talking calmly like this. you’re voice is just so soothing


how to instantly feel better: watch a dodie video


"little things, all the stereotypes, they're gonna help you get through this one night"


I seriously needed and appreciate this video and the thoughtfulness behind it. I’m glad to know i’m not the only one.


Thank you Dodie for this helpful big-sister talk💗 It was needed🙌🏻


This video makes me feel like I’m sitting and talking with a friend. 💜


thank you dodie for lookin out for us in this tough time! i hope ur doin ok as well :) 🥰


Your videos and music are literally the only thing keeping me sane


i really need this, my boyfriend broke up with me last night (which was needed bc i was too codependent) but it’s soo hard to detach. (Human is literally the story of my life🥴) So thanks dodes 🤍

Alice James I feel you, some years ago, I was in the same situation. There is a hard lesson to learn, I trust you, you will make it! I send you a virtual hug. <3


Dodie's voice is so relaxing & her videos bring me so much joy


Doddie I loved that little streak of light that touched the side of your head, nose and fingers during the video! Good cinematography and comforting words for us all. :)


Dodie I can’t express how much I needed this video today. 🖤


Honestly this was just what I needed thank you so much dodie, love you! 💖💖💖


Thank you Dodie! This really did cheer me up, and I’m sure it helped others too! 💕


And again, Dodie has introduced us to yet another stunning music artist - Ethan Gruska. Thank you!!


i’ve been feeling especially depressed lately thank you so much dodie

Hi what helped with your depression during the isolation


Thank 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 Dodie! This is so helpful. I’ve watched a lot of these types of videos lately but they all just made me feel worse... now I think perhaps it is your calm and quiet voice that I needed all along. 💛


thank you for this, it really helps me in terms of things to get me up and makes me feel less alone during this pandemic. i hope that everyone is trying their best to help themselves and others in this struggling time, and here's a mini reminder to drink some water or grab something to eat as it may help you at least a little bit! <3


i was legit just crying about this when ur video popped up i love you dodie


ngl i really needed this & i got this notif when i was feeling sad, thank you dodie ❣


thank you so much for this, my birthday is at the beginning of next month and i've been crying for an hour because i know i'll be in quarantined, and this helped me so much. i love you

Happy birthday in advance. Know that I’ll be eating something sweet at the beginning of next month in HoNoUr of the day you were born. 😂💜


Not me 9 months later coming back to this video at 4am in an attempt to calm my anxiety...💛


Thank you for this, this was really wonderful ❤


dodie istg your music IS my comfort music. Ilysm <333 thank you for keeping me calm and keep doing what you do


Honestly just these little "chatty" videos are wonderful, your voice is very calm and casual, and it helps me feel calmer...gives me a fuzzy feeling inside. 🦔🌻


First also this video is so calming and helpful! You voice isn’t abnormally chirpy and wild, it is calm and soothing and understanding. All of these tips are so basic yet sound so needed and good coming from you. I love you so much! Please stay safe everyone!


was the tv in “exist w a friend” playing the tap dance duet scene in lala land ?


I'm literally freaking out because all I want to do is see all my friends who are back from uni even though a few of them have treated me like shit but that's fine!

Once I'd tell myself I need these sort of mates in my life whenever they treat me like a load of rubbish; then I opened up and realized I'd be better off without most of them. Its especially hard when your circle's close-knit. Those who stayed became my best mates in life, so what I'm saying is you'll gain some, you'll lose some. Best of wishes when you take the dive, dude. You seem like a reasonable lassie, too.

That is not okayyy. You seem like a lovely person, don’t let people treat you like shit. Dump them(that was InTeNdEd to be funny but wasn’t lol) Take care💜

Video calls are the best friend of the world at the moment!

@Ava Delarosa that's honestly so sweet thank you!

You deserve so much more than friends that treat you like that! You are wonderful 🌼


Needed this today, been feeling so bad being isolated from any of my friends and family. Thank you Dodie.


I’ve been making music on fl studio but I have been struggling and the way I help myself is by being kind to others sooooo

If you’re currently struggling in these weird times stay strong we can get through this together
Anyone struggling with depression in these current times you can do this I know what depression is like and how lonely it is but remember your not alone
Anyone with anxiety it’s gonna be ok keep moving and keep going
This is to everyone take care of your mental health, for example
Try to do a small bit of exercise even if it is just dancing like dodie said or even running laps in the garden

Maybe try some new things during this time like I don’t know playing a instrument or something idk 😐

But overall look after yourself and stay strong everything will be ok in the end keep smiling and being yourself because that’s when your most beautiful

That includes you dodie 💙

This is amazing & i hope you can continue your music when you feel ready 💜


i only started watching/listening to you recently, but you always make me feel so happy since. you are one outgoing, yet unique human. can you make more asmr and original songs plz?


i do all of these and its so refreshing to see it on a list~ im glad to see this bunch of exercises being shareable to friends of mine who might need it~


Honestly getting dressed helps me feel so prepared for the day, even if I don’t have anything real to do


Your voice is so calming, thank you for this dodie 💕 x


thank you so much dodie, i really needed this


This was so lovely. It felt like a caring hug. Thanks for making this, Dodie.


This made me feel like I'm talking to a friend. thank you dodie <3


Thanks to Dodie, Tessa, and Orla and all of the other wonderful people doing streams, and what not self isolation has been a lot better than it could have been. I have had things to look forward to this whole time!


this was absolutely lovely! so so helpful and i love the little animated drawings! very comforting 😊


This was so lovely, helpful and calming. ❤


Saved this to my “watch this when ur sad” playlist 💜


This is so helpful - thank you so much Dodie! I have been struggling a lot recently with my mental health and of course, self-isolation has not really improved the situation. It helped to hear someone else say that getting up and ready for the day, instead of "sitting in smelly pijamas" is a simple way to feel better. I have been in a constant state of dissociation for about a fortnight and putting on a very me outfit and washing my hair so I smell of my familiar coconut shampoo, really helps me to feel like me again.
Thank you and stay happy and safe everyone!
Win ;)


Dodie, you're a lovely person. Thank you for this <3


She’s my comfort music & my comfort video person 🥺💛 I love going back and watching all of her covers and vlogs


The messages are great, and also it's so soothing just to listen to your voice 💖 thanks for taking the energy to make this


The only good thing about the lockdown is having Dodie back 💓


ADDED to my "videos to feel calm and safe" playlist💛💛💛


i’ve been listening to your music a lot recently in lockdown and it’s really soothing and makes me feel so calm. also, this gave me very soft and happy vibes, thank you dodie <3


Favorite video for this hard times. Thank you so much dodie, you bring a genuine chill vibe and it's just what i need it.


This video is incredibly soothing and just makes me feel safe. Thank you for this little reminder that I'm still a person <3


Thank you so much dodie, this honestly made my day. Take care of yourself and stay safe <3


Dodie is my comfort content <3

Thank you for making this, I need the reminder to look after myself because I've been finding myself slipping into Goblin mode more often than I feel comfortable realizing.


This video is incredible I really needed this thank you. I love Dodie and she has such a calming voice. 💛💛💛


Love this ❤ can I make a request? I’d love it if you could do another asmr video, you were so good at it and I find your voice so calming and soothing 😊


thank you, dodie! you offer such comfort and calm in my life and i really appreciate you


I love you, Dodie! Thank you! This definitely helped, especially because I do often forget the outside still exists haha


Dodie oh how nice it is to see you. Freckles and constellations is a favorite song of mine


its week 4 of quarantine and ive been starting to feel really weird and depressed,
but thankfully my mom is very helpful and caring.
also today there has been such lovely warm weather and that ALWAYS helps to change my mood for the better :)
stay sane and healthy everyone ♥


dodie makes me feel nervous and my brain stops functioning when I see her, and yet also calm. What magic is this?


dodie, your voice is so comforting and i love you so so much for making this video. sending lots of love and warmth and hugs. take care <3


I love your comforting vids, Dodie! You inspire me to make my own content :)


It helped a lot! Thank you for the reminder! You’re so lovely ❤


This is amazing. I’ve missed videos of dodie talking SO MUCH💕 instant happiness xxxxxx


I love the thought of calling a friend just to exist with them. I'm so lucky that I have my love home with me, but that is another beautiful thought. Also making nice things, to look on the bright side, this can be a beautiful time for creativity for some of us in the right head space. <3 I wish I had the presence to make a chill and comforting vid, but I don't know how to share that energy on camera yet, so personally just hoping to bring some smiles.


Thank you for this, Dodie. I needed it, and I think a lot of others did, too.


thank you so much, i know i needed this, as well as many others. sending love and good vibes to everyone. have a wonderful day <3


Such a sweet and cozy video! And I love your drawings, they’re so cute ;)


Thank you for making this dodie ❤❤ I really needed this


Thank you for making this video! It was a really good reminder to me, I wasn’t doing very well.


🔆Thanks dodie, this really helps. Especially took the dancing in my room on board, loving that so much. Especially love acting out and dancing to musical songs. I get to express every emotion during this time. Thank you 🔆


i feel like this is great advice that i definitely should follow, quarantined or not. thanks dodie💖


Dodie, I would like to thank you so much I feel like in the times my mental health has been the worst you have been such a light in the tunnel, it doesn’t pull me out of my feelings but I makes the fight a little easier to know I’m not the only one who has suffered


Dodie I have been reading your book, watching YouTube and dancing to your music in my bedroom, all in all you put a smile on my face 😄 xx


Thank you for making me realise that someone understands exactly how it feels right now, trapped, losing control, lonely. Thank you for helping


dodie literally has the most beautiful and gentle voice, I love it


this is really helpful dodie ! love you lots, i hope you’re doing okay. as much as this time sucks, it’s nice to know that people all over the world feel the same way as me right now. thank you for your encouragement and care <3


This is going to be so good when I feel crap which is often so thank you so much trying not to cry xx


Literally just listening to your lovely speaking voice and seeing your peaceful looking backgrounds is sort of like asmr for me and brings me a sense of calm :) thanks for this


This is such solid advice and I really needed it right now, as even though I’m not self isolating and so can technically leave the house to walk or get food, my anxiety stops me from doing that a lot of the time and I’ve found myself feeling lost and just generally bad. So thank you for this 🥰


dodie I just have to hear you speak and it soothes my soul ❤❤❤


This made me feel legitimately so much better just even listening to your soothing voice helps ugh thank u


dodie you’re so amazing, thank you for this


Dodie I genuinely needed this. I'm watching this before bed and it's so relaxing. Thank you. <333


Thank you Dodie, this DID help. A lot. 💙


this made me pick up my coloring book in a while and i discovered new blends. thank you, dodie 🤗


Definitely needed this! Thank you Dodie 💖


Dodie, this is so wholesome and nice. Honestly, thank you, thank you for this nice video, thank you for making music that I listen to when I'm sad/happy/exited or simply feeling fine, thank you for your calm aesthetic and the nice voice, thank you for inspiring me, inspiring us, for making mental health normal to talk about.

And thank you for getting us trough this weird time ❤❤


the color tones of these vlogs never fail to catch my eyes and i'm always curious if it's graded a certain way or if it's just a result of using natural light.


Mostly I listen to your music to calm down. It always makes me feel so dreamy and attentive?


dodie: "listen to your comfort music or watch your comfort show"
me: runs to my dodie playlist on spotify

Thanks so much for the ideas dodie! Wishing you peace love and positivity


I love the empathetic tone you shared your advice with. somehow makes me feel less alone. ty x


I never realized how much I love to just listen to dodie talk like this until this video wooowwww it’d be so cool if there’s dodie podcasts?? 🤔


ive been feeling so shit and this video literally brought me to tears dodie i love you so much thank you for being you  :)


THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tips doddie  !! ❤.  I'm gonna write this down & save this video. There definatally ones I will REMEMBER though!! Hope your doing ok ❤


Your voice feels like a warm hug. I needed one of those thanks <3


this reminder was exactly what I needed, thank you dodie:)


I was feeling pretty down today and just seeing that Dodie uploaded and then clicking on the video and hearing that soft, calming voice made me feel so much better. Love you Dodie ♡


love this so much
i really wish i'd found it earlier

you're an inspiration


This was very helpful today i appreciate it very much thank you for reminding us to be nice to ourselves (make sure you’re nice to yourself too!!) <3


This video was very comforting since I’ve been stressing about a lot of things like school and people who are being heavily affected by the virus.

This was just so lovely ugh I love it


i paused netflix to watch this and i was binge watching brooklyn 99 from the start because it's my emotional support show<br>but this video is so helpful thank u dodie <3

but this video is so helpful thank u dodie <3

Oh cool! My brother has been pestering me to watch Brooklyn 99 for months. Is it any good?


Thank you for all that, dodie. I needed it <3


you make me feel the same way crackling noises and cafe background music makes me feel. thank you dods <3


Honestly, Ive needed these small reminders for a long time now... Thank you Mama Dodie


I forgot how badly I missed just having sound around me. Chucking on a bit of background chatter has soothed me to no end, thank you!


Dodie Just posting a lot makes my days better. Thank you girl!


You are so comforting and you always seem so kind. This made me feel a lot better. Thanks.


This was so incredibly helpful thank you so much!


Dodie, thank you. You don’t know how much I needed this. Thank you.


this video and... basically your entire channel is so comforting. I love this!


just listening to your voice helps🥺 stay safe dodie. x


thank you so much i really needed something like this right now


I love you dodie , watching your videos is like talking to an old friend who always knows what to say to bring me out of my head


Thank you so much. You have such a calming presence. Watching this video made me finally feel like I have enough energy to take care of myself


Thank you so much for this video. It's weird but you seemed to know exactly how I was feeling and exactly how to fix it, so thank you or this :)


watching your videos really give me that sense of comfort i need in my life


I really needed this rn so thank you dodie 🥺


Thank you so much dodie that was that comforting video that I needed to see today :)


Thank you so much dodie!! this is such a calming video in itself


this made me, literally, cry. thank you dodie. :)


Your voice is just so soothing so hearing this list itself is making me feel better


You know what helped? Listening to your voice, just going through that list. It really did.

EDIT: I've just realized I repeated the sentiment of most ppl's in comment section 😁 Dodie, we need you to read us a book or something!


Thank you, needed this now, it helped calm me down from one of my anger and frustration episodes.


Thank you for this. I love listening to you and you reminding me of some very nice coping techniques in quarantine times really calmed me down a bit. Also I am having a total (in Germany we call it) EAR WORM of Lettuce <3 It's just such a jam in the kitchen :D


I didn't really need this, but it's just really nice seeing Doddie ^_^


dodie: “something that you always return to, to make you feel calm”
me: watching dodie “i am currently doing said thing”

dodie: “something that you always return to, to make you feel calm”
me: *watching dodie* “i am currently doing said thing”


Just the care in your voice helped me feel a bit better, this whole video feels like you're talking to me specifically and i love it. Thank you


I needed this a lot. Thank you dodie 💜🤧🙂


thank you for this, you fantastic human. i needed this...times are hard and scary and this video was like a warm hug.


I’ve been gardening and it’s been so so helpful for my mental heath. I’m outside, exercising and I can get lost in the activity. My garden is a complete mess, I moved in a year ago and never bothered to touch it since it’s so overgrown. I love seeing it slowly change and discovering more things each day. If you have a garden it’s a really nice thing to do. If not get plants! I’m so excited to get some little houseplants


This lockdown takes me back to when I decided to put myself into isolation for 2 years and build myself up to independence while finding out a lot of things I could do. It feels strange to be back, but I also feel like I'm the experienced one while everyone else is losing their minds.


I don’t think you know how much I missed you posting talking vids like this❤


Aww Dodie this is very good, thank you <3


THANK YOUUUU I feel calm now thanks 🥦🤷🏼♀❤❤❤


Dodie be like "Listen to your comfort music or watch your comfort show - something you always return to to make you feel calm."

I be like "I'm always returning to your videos and music to make me feel calm."


You don't understand the good you do by making these videos during this time, you're amazing 💛💛💛


It's great to hear you talk on youtube again! Like a reunion with an old friend :)


please post more stuff like this!! your voice is so comforting and you feel like a caring mother ahahah but like seriously you make me feel warm inside :)


you're so soft and warm, and calming, i love it


The "Have a friend to exist with" one resonated with me so much.<br>I've been sewing and folding laundry while talking to my friends and I felt way less edgy !

The "Have a friend to exist with" one resonated with me so much.
I've been sewing and folding laundry while talking to my friends and I felt way less edgy !


me: i wonder what i usually watch to make myself feel calm
(realizes i’m watching a dodie video)
me: oh yeah


gosh, isn’t humankind weird. but i love it. we can do this. ♥


This is the best video, exactly what I needed in this time of uncertainty


This is such incredible advice. Thank you so much!


I’ve really felt over quarantine my mental health deteriorating and I’ve never felt more isolated, I haven’t been able to see my friends or my girlfriend (which is especially sad as we had loads of plans over Easter) and being trapped inside a house really really sucks! I’m looking forward to trying to put some of these into practice more to try and improve and have hope for the future! Thank you Dodie :)


Thank you. I <b>really</b> needed this today. I think I've mostly been doing okay. I've kept busy with exercise, uni work and cuddling my guinea pig, but today really wasn't my day. I'm tired, hormonal and feeling very anxious about everything. My dreams are strange and scary and my head hurts. Although deep down I knew how to calm myself and take control of my emotions, this video pointed me in the right direction and made me feel a little more normal and sane. Thank you xxx

Dodie you're  such an nspiration to me and honestly just hearing this small message got me out of a depressing funk to feel motivated to do things again during quarantine.
Thank you so much for all that you do <3
I hope this video helps many others too.


When you sing a song I listen. When you make a video I watch it. When you give advice I take it. If you decide to you write a book I would LOVE to read it. (Or listen if you're on audible) lol 😁 I've always thought you were great Dodie!


dodie you are amazing and this helped me a lot. thank you


dodie makes quarantine a bit better for me :)
with her amazing songs and calming voice.
she helps me so so much <3
I love u dodes


idk why but watching this made me realize how much I missed your older videos where you just sat and talked "with" us ♥


I was having a panic attack and this made me feel so much better thnx Dodie (:


I love the sound of your voice and the little glimmer of light that moves on your nose is adorable


thank u dodie, i needed this <3 love from italy


I think this is why I love Dodie so much. I always wanted that open and insightful older woman role in my life. I didn’t have the best relationship with my bio mom growing up, and the family I did grow up with was closed off about stuff like this. She is so like idk Human™ I love her sm


I am absolutely not ashamed to say I put this on loop so I could listen to dodie's voice as my comfort noise while I read.


thank you dodie it was really nice to have this reminder ♡


Such a good thing!!! Thank you for making it! <3


These little animations are so cute ! This whole video is..thank you <3


Dodie gave an emergency kit but tbh her voice just immediately soothes my chaotic brain


You are one of the kindest individuals on this platform. Thank you, seriouly, I deeply thank you


thank you for being mine human first aid, i feel like it bandaged my soul


I return to this video like once a month and remember the beginning of quarantine and how it made me feel so calm during that stressful time. This is power, dodie. The way you can make someone else feel. I feel with your voice, with your words just the calmness or the willingness to have a better day, a better quarantine.<br>Thank you so much, I wish you could see this comment and remember what a special human being with the most wonderful gift you are. Ily, hope everything is good inside your brain and out.

Thank you. For this helpful video. For just being present with us while we're all where we're at. You're exactly what's needed right now. Meeting us where we are from where you are. Peace. :)


this is adorable T^T

could you update your tea video? those are always fun to watch and i hope you're not too bored in isolation right now !


This quarantine is so bad for my mental health, and you just made it a little better. Thank you💞


dodie your videos are seriously one of the few things getting me through this shit times. thankyou fot making content like this. without it i would've fallen apart


Dodie is definitely my comfort music. 💗🎵🎶


Thank you Dodie for reminding me that I am not alone


you have the softest and sweetest voice dodie, I love you so much


I listen your voice from France just before sleeping and i'm sure to have a very good night.<br>thank you.

thank you.


thank you for being you.  some of your songs with these undertones i think have actually saved my life in high school.  listened to 6/10 on repeat for months.  thank you.  I hope you feel better soon too.


I love you so much and this video is so important. I‘m uploading a new video on my channel soon about this but everything you said is so important. For someone who struggles with MH, there’s so many things that seem ‘easy’ but during this time but are so hard, and your voice / videos make things a little bit easier 💛

Make sure to look after yourself and I’m sending lots of love 💛


dodie, thank you so much for shining some light and positivity in these strange times! This is a very new situation for people to be stuck in, and it is not easy, but taking care of ourselves is super important right now.<br>For me, I am inside most of the day studying. I graduate from Nursing school next month, and there are some scary tests coming up. I find comfort in listening to empowering music before the exams, and then I love to listen to your music to unwind! Thank you dodie, for all that you do! Stay safe, just be, and know that we love you! :) <3

This was so helpful, and I loved the little drawings :)


"Find a friend to exist with." I love this point and haven't heard it anywhere else. I love connecting with people, but lately, I've just been isolating myself and not having the energy to talk or do much of anything. I'd like company, but not the pressure to hold a conversation or try to explain myself when I feel like I have nothing of substance to talk about. Thank you for this video and the warm words, dodie.


Dodie, you are just absolutely lovely, i hope you know that :)


dodie, just thought i’d drop by in the comments to let you know that your presence on YouTube brings me so much joy. even if only for a few minutes. thank you for these videos and for sharing little bits of yourself with us.


dodie is the love of my life she’s so precious and lovely

"put on your favorite song and dance until you get sweaty and your heart's beating"
how can she make the simplest things so poetic?

This was so so so soothing (also your hair looks beautiful and I noticed you in the Jay Foreman video!)


This was so unbelievably comforting. I would go to war for this girl that I’ve never met lol


You're my comfort content  ☁ thanks for being here 💕


I just cried because it’s my birthday and I’m lonely as fuck. Thank you for making me feel less alone ❤


this was much needed right now, thank you 🥺❤


thank you dodie :( I wasnt practicing enough of these... hope you're okay too cuz i love you way too much! A promise of hope it enough to feel freeeeee. i miss solo cafe dates too hehe


thank u your voice is so comforting i could listen to you read out loud for hours


i'm a bit late, but ... you seem so nice and calm and peaceful in this video, it instantly made me feel a lot calmer, better as well. thank you, dodie.


an asmr video from you would definitely help with insomnia caused by anxiety about all this :)))


i'm so thankful to say that i've done all of this but at the same time because i have, i feel like i've finished all that i could do<br>also, my comfort music is u dodie ♡ what a surprise

thank you so much for making this dodie x


I love you, thanks for being so sweet and kind 💜


It's so hard to have to be the one to remind myself about these things. Sometimes remembering self care is even harder than just forgetting about it. So it is so so sooo nice to, for once, not be the one trying to tell myself what's good for me. I can listen to someone else reminding me that it will make me feel better, and that trying to feel okay doesn't have to be painful.


This made me cry. It reminded me that I'm not actually doing very well right now. I try to stay busy and not feel it, but it's there. I'll try to do some of these things, but I think the main good thing this video did for me is that it made me aware that I'm not okay. Awareness is important sometimes.


You are the mental health mom we all need thank you sm


This was a a wonderful video ☺ Thanks dodie


you're just so wholesome. honestly you're my comfort content. i don't know how many times i have rewatched your vids and listened to your music while feeling sad. thank you for being a place i can turn to when i need to calm down and thank you for being one of the few things that stop my never-ending thought spirals :) <3


thank you dodie for lookin out for us! love u!!


coming back to this in september when i still feel this way<br>i cannot believe it’s been 5 months since this but thank you for this wonderful care package

coming back to this in september when i still feel this way
i cannot believe it’s been 5 months since this but thank you for this wonderful care package


does anyone else just love listening to her voice? like i’ve listened to this in the background like 3 times now haha


My shoulders did a solid drop over the course of this video - thank you <3


this was insanely helpful and will deffo be watched a couple hundred times over the next few months :)


I was still finishing uni when this came out & everyone was going insane from boredom

now I've finished my degree (!) and am beginning to get a lil bored and a lil crazy

these are good reminders thank you <3


My insanity levels have dropped by 999999999999999999999x9 thanks to you girl. Keep being awesome 👏


Thank you for making this video. I shared it to a Facebook page I created called Elderly Lives Matter which is help seniors citizens with information, suggestions, health news etc, during the pandemic. I have been your fan for a long time and I was elated to see this video because it fits so perfectly as a post on the page. I  love your music!


I think everyone is feeling weird right now xxxx


you really are making this lockdown less awful <333


me crying the entire thing because i felt so bad these past few weeks but thank you for these advices <3


thank you for blessing me. i have to go very far away for a very long time to stay safe from a bad situation and today is my last day with internet and the last day i get to talk with my lovely partner... i needed this soft energy after crying so much. i appreciate you dodie, very very much <3


this made me finally do yoga again, i feel better. thank you


definitely miss this kind of vloggy content. thx for the lovely comforting vid doddlepoddle <3


hey dodie i just hope you know that your music is my comfort music. I always go back to your musssiccccc :)


i really needed this 🥺🥺<br>thank u dodie ❤


The best advice that I would advise to do during this challenging time is this: "Learn how to exist with yourself" . If you can do that, then you can do most anything~

dodie thank you. you always help me feel better


I can confirm that jumping around your room to come on Eileen does help lift your spirits


you're a gem for this. Thank you so much!


"Me and a bunch of friends watched Jaws the other day. It was nice." Next sentence - "Listen to your comfort music or watch your comfort show...something that you always return to to make you feel calm." Jaws is literally one of the most un-calm movies ever!! You might feel a lot calmer for simply having skipped that!!

If I could spend isolation stuck with one person, I might just choose you Dodie. My Art has been my person and for that I am grateful 😊


Who needs ASMR when you have dodie's voice.


For a hot second at 3:22 I thought you said "Ive spent 100 pounds on rum" and I was like ARE YOU OKAY


Oh thank you dodie !<br>As you say, those things are hard to keep in mind... But thank you, now I know where to find them all in one place. Take care of yourself, you who is reading this \o/

Oh thank you dodie !

this is so comforting and sweet, thank u :)


I went down an "old days of YouTube" rabbit hole last night and it made me sad. Friendships that disappeared, creativity shoved aside in favor of views, and so on. Dodie's right, just take some time to be silent and at peace


Seeing this video is perfect timing. Thanks so much 💛


Im lucky where i am as i live in the countryside with a big field on a cliff, so i can see the sea fron my open window, listening to the waves crash on the sand and the birds tweet or go on a fun little run around on my field with the friendly fox that follows me outside lol

soo jealous. i live in a tiny cramped studio flat in london

@Izzie Music oh it truely is, i feel so lucky


Thank you Dodie... I needed this video so much


these tips are literally my new bible. Paint those lovely words on my soul. also i will never get over how beautiful of a human u are💚💛💛


My aunt who live with me tested positive for corona and ive recently come down with all the same symptoms ☹


Currently confined to my bed because I've apparently sat so much that I've bruised my tailbone. It really hurts. Try to avoid it, it'll take four or more weeks to heal. Listen to her tip about uncreaking your bones.

@Marc Tayson I didn't either and I'm home  4/7 days a week on a slow week. Mostly sit on soft surfaces in fact. That's why it's so surprising! Thanks for the well wishes =D

Didn't even know that was possible. You must be sitting straight on a hard-ass chair but I'm just speculating. Hope you'll have a speedy recovery dude.

Chikorita2Chante  hope your feeling better soon!

@an anonymous idiot Thank you so much! 💗

Aw so sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon💜


Thank you, this was so sweet and lovely.


dodie is like the human embodiment of a warm hug, and idk, im grateful for it 🥺


This is the best ❤ dodie, you're the best.


first ten seconds and i already hard core relate


You were there when the world was still normal but I was trapped inside myself (going through a long period of depression), and not even being conscious of the situation, made my days a little bit better only with your words and songs of support. I love that now you are reaching a lot more of people who need a lift, just the way you know how to make people feel safe and hopeful.


Dodie's like the nice neighborhood lady that's always so friendly and shares her food with you when she makes too much. I love her so much <3


a dodie video is all i need in these trying times


This came at the perfect time thank you so so much


thankyou...dodie. just listening to your voice calms me a lot


most self isolation videos are so loud/energetic which makes me anxious for some reason, but this video is so calm. i feel more grounded now with your soothing voice and the vague white noise in the background. thank u!


I've been practicing my ukulele (which you were a big part of inspiring me to play!), and working on my writing. I've found that writing a "To-Do List" with the things that I'd been doing anyway. Makes me feel productive and gives me things to do when the day feels empty. :)


It's no surprise to me that Dodie's vid's display some of the most wholesome comments section i've been to on youtube at the moment. Stay safe, everyone. Love you all to bits.


Your music is my comfort music. It has comforted me A LOT over the past couple of years. So thank you <3 =]


regardless of whether i do anything mentioned, i feel better just from the video itself. lovely


the biggest thing i do when i’m depressed is isolate which really just allows everything to fester. i’ve been loving quarantine because i’m self destructive like that and am consistently making myself more depressed by isolating, which makes me want to isolate more. it’s a habit that i was starting to break out of when this whole mess started. this video has helped. thank you.


i got out an old teen magazine and it had a poster of u so i put it up on my wardrobe then realised last night that 7 dodies watch me while i sleep lmao


dodie, remember it’s only okay to “exist with friends” if they live with you! Social distancing means actual distancing – otherwise it’s a risk to both of your healths! Stay safe xxxxx


Honestly think having a child has helped me keep sane during this. The routine with him has kept me busy and spending time with him has helped so much. But when i need to be alone, he's at that age he can go independant play or play his tablet (hes 8) or read or whatever. Same with my cat. Hes my clingy boi


thank you very much i have been Struggling


*ONEfunnyTHING*:

Since summer 2019 i've been turning back to songs and videos of yours to comfort my messy mind during the stressy moments of life
Your creations are the cure

So a huge thank you for sharing all of these

Yesterday I went and sat on the ground, in the forest and listened to the songbirds sing and watched them fly around in the trees.

I pity the poor people who live in apartments who can't even go for a walk around the block in the city or go out and just walk around the forest and sing to the trees in the country.


Comfort content:<br>Animal crossing and dodie songs

Dodie, your music is my comfort music :)


“Listen to your comfort music” dodie, you are my comfort music


Dodieee thank you for this, and I'm just saying, those drawings are dope lol did you draw them?


praise be! praise be! our godess hath returned


I literally JUST asked around, what my people are doing for selfcare, cause that's something I have to learn alot. You just got me so many answers at the rightest of times dodie :)))


I was feeling surprisingly good and now I realized I was doing most of those things


I just tested positive for covid and I'm isolated to my small ass room in my parents house. Your videos always make me feel so much better, but I feel like nothingness since this happened. Everything is boring, all food makes me feel sick, I have all this energy to do something but everything I go to do makes me even more bored. I'm going to go try to read a book but idk, this was my weird little vent while I try to feel better. Thanks for reading. I'm probably going to go steal the kettle from the kitchen now so I at least have tea in my room.


I'll tell you one thing, today I slept at 8am to 5pm for my night's sleep 😂 I'm jet lagged 😴


I always look forward to nice and happy things in times like these. For example today is my 16th birthday and I was waiting for it for months cause I bought myself my first guitar. Its things like these that will make you happy and look forward to things instead of feeling completely useless.


when dodie is your comfort content/music 🥺


Thanks for that Dodie. It was at the right moment for me


OMG HI DOIDE! i love, love, love your music and tomorrow we get out of quarentine so yay? we go back into a house and don't get to see anyone


YOU UPLOADEDDD TODAY AND IT’S MY BIRTHDAY, 😭😭❤❤ I love you.

Thank you kerry Irving and Miss Ravenclaw ❤💛


Ok so basically how would you feel about playing live at my wedding 20 years from now


this was the nicest and most comforting thing ever thank u


Isolation has been hard for me lately because it’s been heightening my mental illnesses. Recently I went through a period of intense derealization and paranoia and i felt so trapped and alone that it was like I was in another dimension. It is hard! I know a lot of people are also probably feeling this way, but we will get through it. Dodie, I want you to know that you have been my comfort content. When I feel like I’m not real and I can’t see and I’m alone I’ll read your book and watch your videos, or I’ll sit and close my eyes and listen to your music on repeat until I calm down. Thank you for making me feel less alone and insane in these times :)


Petition for Dodie to make a podcast? I would love it so so much. <br>Or even a long video of her just hanging out, Dodie would be such lovely background ‘noise.’

Will she reply? Who knows the ways of the dodes..


Thank you so much, you don't know how much I needed this


I don't think there are enough words to describe exactly how much I appreciate this video


also just sitting by an open window staring at the clouds and hearing the leaves in the wind, makes me feel freshh.


“All your Organs get stagnant” hekaudhakdha whattt I’ve never thought about it like that


Thank you these tips are all quite good. My number one tip is to turn the news off and don't spend too many hours on tech.


thank you. your videos seem like a comfort in itself


it’s weird how much i love quarantine. and I feel bad for feeling that way, cuz people are upset and people are dying, but i feel like I can take a breather for a sec.


your show at the granada in dallas was the time of my life


your voice is like this warm, wierd, relaxing, soothing sound


Almost a year later and I still try to stick to that in order to feel somewhat alive.


I loved the little doodles!! They were so aesthetically pleasing.


"Listen to your comfort music"<br>Ok, so your music!! ❤👌

"Listen to your comfort music"
Ok, so your music!! ❤👌


Hearts out to yall that are really struggling right now. Maybe it’s just how I’m wired but being quarantined hasn’t negatively affected my mental health nor do I feel bored, I’m always busy with projects and hobbies and video calling my friends and I guess that’s enough to fulfil me but that’s obviously not the same for everyone


i didn’t realize how much i needed this until now. thanks.


ily Dodie, seriously you have been such comfort through so many bad times and you've always helped so much, i hope you know you deserve the world and you're amazing💖


Treat yourself like you're someone you're looking after :)


dodie you’re like my safety blanket not even going to lie. when I feel crappy this is where I go to feel at home and safe


it’s july 2021 and here i am so yeah i guess dodie is my comfort content i always return to :’)


Halfway in I just started crying happy sad tears and I don’t know why. This helped though.


I think another thing to add to the list is just listening to this video on repeat because your voice is the most calming, comforting things in the world


My OCD and anxiety have been really bad recently. I've leaned into painting while listening to audiobooks, which has been really nice. Writing some for my uke and playing it more. I've been walking but I sprained my knee, so I haven't been able to do that for a while. The other day I took a towel out to my balcony and just laid with my eyes closed absorbing vitamin D. It was cold but nice. It has been fun exploring all the services that have opened up free trials or offers because of COVID. Trying to take advantage of those. I'm glad I'm not close to the only one struggling or worried. This video was a good reminder of that.


Your vids and hazels vedisi are the only thing keeping me going during this lol :')


"listen to your comfort music" arite time to whip out that dodie playlist


I love this new surge of videos from you.


You know, I completely get that dodie doesn’t love vlogging or making videos anymore, but I’ve felt so...comforted? By the return of her short, speaking or singing at the camera casually. It’s like seeing an old friend when you’ve been thinking about them recently. It’s quite lovely.


you’re an angel your vibes are so good i love you


remember (i needed this tonight), being depressed while clean is vastly superior to being depressed while unclean


Just wanted to make a comment in regard to meditation during this time - I mentioned to my therapist that I was experiencing a lot of derealization and they told me that meditation could have the opposite effect (to relaxation) as I'm too deep in my head at the moment and need to find something outside of my brain to focus on. So instead of taking time to meditate and relax, I've been focusing on something that allows me to fixate on it for a bit (I've been playing a lot of animal crossing, or some of my other favourite video games).


the longer i watch dodie the tireder i get of everything she does


my comfort music is your voice, honestly, and I mean your songs but I also mean just your voice, listening to you talking is so soothing, I hope this doesn't sound creepy, you just have a really really nice, soft voice?? I love it. And thank you for this video it was really helpful💕✨


Thank you for this. Wow you know. Thank you for the emergency care package 💓💓🦋💫it's true exercise is what is everything. I also miss coffee shops. Waves. And open nothingness with windows and breath. Yep. Also reorganizing...I will try reorganizing furniture...existing together🌏I miss that.air walks outside exists. We'll be okay!


I am a huge introvert and a hermit.  Self-isolation seems like Heaven to me, but my job requires me to go in.  I am so super envious of all the people who get to isolate at home.  Their anxiety and loneliness would be my comfort zone.


First of all, thank God you put subtitles in the video, my sister is playing Mario Kart and it's just blasting car noises.
Second, I should probably be doing these. I'm so bad at the corona virus thing! I don't wash my hands after I use the restroom and I haven't showered in at least 3 weeks!
I wouldn't be surprised if I caught the corona virus and died lol


When you spend home alone depressed and in self imposed isolation, this pandemic lockdown thing doesn't phase you that much


“Slobby, sleepy and sad” the story of my life 😂😂


I only found your music a couple weeks ago. Real late to the party, I know. But it truly was serendipitous that I found your music right then because, about four hours later, I had the worst panic attack I've had in years (strangely, completely unrelated to the current health crisis). Just before I completely shut down I remembered seeing a playlist of "calming dodie songs" and I put that on.

An instant cure to a panic attack like that is impossible, I am quite sure, but hearing such beautiful, touching, heartfelt music brought me to a place of... stability again. It quieted my racing thoughts, deadened my shaking hands, and loosened the knot in my stomach. It brought me back to a place where I could regain the controls and break out of the tailspin.

I don't believe in a higher power or divine intervention, but I'm rather certain that there's at least one angel on this Earth.

And now, with the world in the state that it's in, I find myself playing the same three EPs on repeat. In this uncertain, ever-changing, and increasingly frightening world, I've found a constant. A tether. And I doubt I'm alone in my findings.

I guess I say all that to say thanks.

Thank you dodie.


I’ve returned to rewatching Jane the Virgin for the 3rd time because that show always manages to make me happier and takes me out of head. I always used to watch it when I’d wake up in the night feeling sick or when crippled with period pain, because while it didn’t change how I felt physically, it helped me be distracted a little. It’s like a plaster and doesn’t solve anything but it makes me happy in the short term and that’s the kind of thing we need right now I guess.


thank you so much. i really needed this ❤


I’m going through a breakup during quarantine and i feel lonely, obssesed and stressed as hell :(


Could you do more videos of you just talking, it's so soothinga and I don't really have anyone to do that friends thing with so it would help me feel less lonely haha<br>(I have family don't worry but it's just different ya know)

thank you dodie, luv you <3 good to see you!


Thanks love. Things have been really tough. And ive missed you


This came in the perfect time

I needed this


Dodie is my comfort music💕💕 basically all i listen to now


your british accent and the calmness in your voice helped me today so thank you


you make me feel less alone thank you dodo


I was holding up really well, being busier than ever with assignments and doing all of these, except do nothing time, will do that. But then I still get depressed. But depression feels normal, isolated or not, there are always ups and down. It's good this time that I know I'm not alone.


i have never been so free of anxiety holy moly <3


The whole listen to your comfort music just opened my eyes as to why I've been only listening to musical theatre songs and starkid


"Watch comfort Content."- Well, that content is you, Dodie. :) Thank you!


Watching this video in itself has helped ✌


I honestly didn't know how much I needed to hear this


You’re actually the only YouTuber I’ve heard say covid-19. Everyone else says “this weird time” like just say it it’s ok !


This was great! I loved how quiet it was. You also remind me of the Youtuber Charlieissocoollike.


ive felt like ive been drowning all this time i really needed this thank u


i've been returning to this video every time i feel Bad (which is a lot lately)


thank you so much for this <3 i cant wait to organise my kitchen today hehe


You made a cover a couple of years ago, by Matt Maltese. I listen to him all the time, and that cover was absolutely beautiful! I would love to hear you sing more of his songs, especially “Studio 06”, it’s my favorite song from him. Thank you for your music and voice, it makes me so much more calm about this pandemic :)


i want dodie to make a mental health podcast. or any podcast. literally just talk into a mic please. her voice is heavenly


I genuinely appreciated that video. Cheers 👍🏻


aw thanks dodie this was really helpful actually


I'm in a place where I can't stand for more than a minute or two because of my health, I can't really breathe and feel really ill but I had a shower for the first time in a week yesterday and washed my hair. It really fucking hurt at the time but I feel a lot better for it. Otherwise I have been distracting myself from the massive piles of anxiety by watching old videos of yours and other people's and even played games with my friends!<br>And yeah by the way you stay home for people like me. We are the vulnerable, I'm not even 20 but I don't stand a chance. Stay at home, wash your hands.

yeah i've heard of these things but it truly hits different to hear dodie saying them


moving my body everyday is the only reason i can stay vaguely sane. i make myself go for at least a walk everyday, and even though i might not want to at the beginning, as soon as i get home i feel LOADS better.


Dodie saying take a shower makes me realize how hard it is to take a shower


this was very needed, a small joy for the day


please make more talking vids like this. I miss these.


Little things, all the stereotypes, they're gonna help you get through this one night-- and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it. I promise you it'll all make sense again.


Maybe someone would like to bond over dodie and just chat... past time during this stressful period lol


when doodie gives an advice,i actually listen lol otherwise


dodie: "refer to something that makes you feel callm"
me: looks at dodie's videos

dodie: "refer to something that makes you feel callm"
me: *looks at dodie's videos*


I just came here for a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now

But also thank you. You are the influencer mom we all need right now ❤


Really sensible advice. The challenge is to just do <b>stuff</b> rather than mope. I'm fortunate enough to have a garden, so there's been a lot of pottering this weekend. Also cooking is really fulfilling. Spending time on something that has an end result (ideally which tastes good!) lifts the spirits. Stay safe everyone.

Nicer problems to have Dodie. I’m a key worker and have been out there 5 days a week on public transport for 2 hours a day. No sadness or loneliness for some of us. No perks from work either 👍🏼 Literally holding my breath as I walk past strangers and praying I don’t get the covid from a colleague. I’d love to sit at home and light some candles whilst cooking some pasta from scratch 😂


please if any of you are feeling not as good as usual, take care of yourself! all of these tips are really helpful, and a great way to stay present with yourself and the things around you. remember to try and stay optimistic, wash your hands, and put a wee bit of effort into making yourself feel less sad and scared each day. stay safe, and try not to spiral in these unexpected times :)


soft soft vibes, very lovely<br>ps. you are my comfort music

soft soft vibes, very lovely
ps. you are my comfort music


do does voice is so aesthetic and calming


YOUR music is my comfort music that I go back to all the time, so you will be getting a lot more views very soon


Dodie is my comfort content.

Girl I've been in this strange unexplainable mood for a long time and it's been especially bad today. Literally was lying on my bedroom floor doing nothing but trying to comprehend my feelings. When I finally felt like doing something I started watching this and was almost instantly in tears again. You're just so perfect- like- fkskoaskdcbsl

(Also I just ordered your book 😊 first time I've bought something in a while. Can't wait to read it 💕)


That's a really cool vidéo, thanks for your adviced. I will look forward to do some of those !


If anyone wants a magical calm song I recommend simply the best sung by Noah Reid (aka Patrick from Schitts Creek) It's so nice :)


i feel like i've just been wrapped in a warm hug


dodie: don’t sit around - in your pajamas- all day<br>me at 7 pm: 😳

My quarantine hasn’t been difficult because of the isolation, but because of my situation. My niece and nephew (8 and 4)  stay with my family from Friday to Monday every week due to my sister’s (their mum’s) alcohol problem. Because my parents are in their 50s they’re not fit for dealing with two very very hyper energetic children, and are always mad at them. So I (15 years old) try my very best to help out at all times. My parents are also very stressed over my sister and are usually yelling at her on the phone, arguing about her to each other, or just arguing with each other for no reason. The house is very angry a lot of the time, even during the week. It’s not nice for me. I’m always tired and drained and stressed from the kids. (Plus I have an iron deficiency which doesn’t help) so keeping up with countless assignments all due very soon is getting tricky. Especially considering the kids might be living with us full time soon if the problem gets worse. I’m worried


You should do ASMR dodie, your voice i so calm and peaceful


I'm usually super neat and clean but I'm using this time to care less.  I brought out all the art supplies and they're splayed all over my room and it's making me feel so much better


I like to talk to my stuffed animal dog Butch and my nameless Ferret. I have each of them rest their faces on my knees, they look at me intently listening to me express myself. I also use this wheel of emotions so I have more ways of expressing how I feel to better understand myself. It's a fun time. I cuddle them after we chat.


one thing I've realized since isolation has begun is how incredibly touch starved I am. school distracted me so I never noticed and I usually got quick hugs off and on during the day. but now that I'm in a home where hugs never happen, and family affection and closeness has never been a thing, has made me realize how much I want to be hugged and cuddled. I just want a warm embrace, and to talk to someone who understands and expresses care for me. I sound pathetic, but I'm a huggy person and I'm getting antsy. god I babbled. I hope you all are staying safe and cozy. remember to wash your hands. take care!


thank you so much i really needed this right now :'))


thank u this was what I really needed to hear :))


I always feel guilty after existing with friends. I don’t know the balance. But all I want to do is be around them.


"listen to your comfort music"
Me: plays an entire dodie clark playlist

Am I the only one who thinks that she could record with headspace, and be amazing, because that voice! Boi!


not not not happy that I'm here again

but happy that dodie is still here

thank you dodie


Honeslty needed this so so much now that I have to miss my friends :(


loneliness has been a big problem for me because im quarantined with my family and they usually don't pay attention to me that much and apart of me was honestly hoping that with this extra time inside i would be able to hangout with them more but it seems that they were just thinking of ways to fill those extra time slots and i just wasn't really a thought<br>i know that work is busy for them right now and they have to deal with money and everything but even with that whenever they aren't doing work they're just distracting themselves with other things and say they're still too busy for me

My self-care consist on putting SPF at day and go to bed again, and a serum at night and go to bed... kinda need help. I'm gonna try and do that coffee place sounds thingy. Love you dodie


I personally do a 30 day yoga challenge with Adriene and the results I‘m seeing are amazing, both physically and mentally. This is really needed these days, because while everyone is chilling at home I‘m writing my Bachelor thesis while working 40 hours a week 😅


The main struggle for me so far is figuring out uni work without any tutors


your frequent appearance on youtube makes me feel better :з

Диана Нарышкина


I wish I had any friends that were willing to just exist with me


this is so useful, focusing on what you enjoy is so important I'm trying to make my album, and I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark I sung background vocals in on 6/10 many moons ago and wondered in the spirit of positive thinking and manifesting that you'd be interested in even the smallest chance of potentially possibly singing on one of my own songs with me?


Dodie, when you smile we smile. If we smile you should smile with us. A circle of love and friendship. This time is unsteady and we are wherry of the future and what it will bring, hopefully it will be humans coming together as one species.


dodie i found gruska through you and he’s my new obsession. thank you<br>(also you should listen to mogli she sounds very nice)

dodie i found gruska through you and he’s my new obsession. thank you
(also you should listen to mogli she sounds very nice)


dodie feeding us during this stressful time


Dodie I feel like you would really like slow TV i think their are some videos of it on YouTube so you should check it out and watch it in the background for your meditation time


this video was simple but so fucking helpful:( thank you. it still hasn't hit me whats really happening so my brain is kinda fucking itself up being stuck inside :")


Half the things you've listed i havnt been doing and thats probably why i feel so low, im lucky enough to still be able to go out and work ( i work in a onestop in my town) but when im not there im not doing much else, after watching this ive decided to dig out my old Nintendo wii and play some games on it and use the sports games i have for it to get some exercise ❤❤


Moved my furniture, kinda dead now but it occupied my mind for two hours😂😭 exercise and moving stuff at the same time 👏🏼💪🏻


dodie's little doodles are the best thing to happen to youtube since old life hack videos


I've been missing cafes SO much. Love your idea!


Stick to your regular sleep schedule, I know when you don't have anything to get up for it's difficult but you'll feel a sense of normal to get up, shower, have breakfast and dress and when everything's back to normal you won't feel the difference in having to get up at 7am after spending months staying in bed till 2. Open the curtains and the blinds and the windows once you're decent and don't close them until the suns gone down. Bring the outside in. Buy a plant or flowers when you're buying your essentials (if you're in lockdown and not quarantine). All of this will help fight off depression before it gets hold of you, and it could help alleviate some if you are already depressed. There's not expectations, no rules, no plan, you create those. You are now in control of what you do, so do everything for you - just wash your hands afterwards :)


If nothing else good comes from this. Dodie is temporarily back on YouTube


I am a very active person and day 1 of lockdown I injured my knee and now walking hurts so bad and honestly not being able to walk around much is what I miss the most, just the ability to stretch my legs. I should probably get it looked at because it has been weeks however I don't want to go to the doctors unless it is an emergency because they are already very busy


I think a lot of people can relate, but I've been spending wayyy too much time on my phone or computer. Too much screen time is starting to melt my brain, I think just cleaning up the space you live in helps a lot with environmental distress. Hope everyone is doing well! 🙏


This one's random, but if you live alone (or are alone) during this time, just be naked for a bit! It's very liberating and there's no social pressure to be decent.


"i hope this helped"....ma'am you always help


My friends and came up with daily challenges to give us purpose. Like, makeup looks or outfits or edits. Getting up, knowing I have to get up and put on nice clothes to take photos for my friends makes me so much happier than just sitting around all day.


I get stuck in real life
I just forget how to exist
I genuinely do lol


thank you thank you thank you thank you so much i needed this so so much thank you from the bottom of my heart


Pasta is bad, life is bad- oh man.. 😅<br>But i'm glad your doing your best to stay sane 💖

I’ve been feeling very distant today like I’m not really here and for some reason I feel like I’m constantly on the verge of tears. I don’t knew why I’m commenting this but I just feel like it might help some people to see what they feel like in words.


2:44 oh my god she totally drew the "Lovely Night" dance break scene from La La land on the T.V. AAAAh I love her so much


I live in the Finnish countryside and when I go out I literally see no people out of their cars, no matter the time of day. So it's safe to be outside and that's nice but I still feel lonely and bad. My mom lets me buy the groceries so that I can get out of the house and that, too, is nice. I'm lucky but I still feel not so great. I can't imagine what people living in crowded places must feel like, trapped in their apartments unable to go outside without limits. TELEPATHIC HUGS TO ALL OF YOU


One thing is really cool to do is call a friend and google "weird questions". Me and my best friend had a very interesting debate about hotdogs the other day.


Dodie I hope you're doing great yourself and I hope the isolation isn't too depressing for you! I hope everyone is doing great!


I miss the times when I had a reason to feel bad.

you know, quarantine ends and the shit that started during it doesn't is kinda heartbreaking


gonna make a list of these in my bullet journal ily


anyone else remembering their dreams? I feel like I can remember almost all of my dreams from this past week. I should make a dream journal!!


Singing has saved me and most of what I chose is by Dodie. So many sad tears but this week, I had some happy tears so TY. A month ago I didn't think I'd still be here. Please open up to anyone you trust and as Dodie sings "There are a 100 people who will listen to you cry" 💜💙💛


"Emergency self package" Gamers riseeeeeee

To be real tho we can get through these weird times together and help each other.


thank you i really needed this right now :(


me, watching this, knowing I will do absolutely none of it: nice


What I have been doing is finding hobbies! Whether it's playing animal crossing while on a call with my friends, knitting while watching youtube, drawing with a podcast on in the background, dusting off my keyboard or that journal, getting out the yoga mat, or even playing around with makeup!


This video is giving me major ASMR vibes


my manly pops and I video call each other whilst we're playing games or just chilling, I found that it helps with feeling less lonely


Oh I like the cafe sounds. What a great idea!


Jump on a video chat with some friends and just go for a walk together. You keep your distance, go for your daily allowed exercise, and you get to share scenery.

Today I got to share a squirrel who came really close to me. I got to share it with everyone on the call! It was a nice moment where I was alone, but not alone.


2:48  ...dodie thats self promo :,)
but yea i listened to your old songs today and felt so so better <3


Im stuck at uni and for some reason still have essays to write<br> I get distracted in my flat so I usually take myself to a cafe and sit Alll day writing. A good tip for people in similar positions is to really simulate that environment. I put up some lights, I brought my desk plants into the kitchen, I even made a playlist with all the groovy music I hear in cafes. Close my eyes for a bit and I'm in my favourite coffee shop down the street. It's open and sunny and makes the process much more intriguing :)

this might be a weird place to say it, but i've made six loaves of bread in two days. and i plan on making a lot more tomorrow. i'm really really proud of myself as it's the only thing getting me through this isolation. i've given away most of the bread to neighbors, as well as many many muffins i've also made from scratch lol (setting the bags down, ringing the doorbell and running away has almost become a fun game tbh)
i think i need to get back into my schoolwork soon, but i figure since my next culinary class was cancelled due to this madness this technically counts as school, right?
anyway thank you dodie for the wonderful video as usual) and thanks to anyone who decided to read this comment :-) i hope everyone's not just surviving, but thriving. we can do this !


I'm 22 days into social distancing and surprisingly I don't feel much different than before. I do prefer the life before the lock-down obviously, but I'm not hugely bothered by the fact that I have to stay home now as much as possible.


I love how we are talking about a serious topic here and i just can't stop thinking about that light beam going <b>boop</b> at her nose

I love how we are talking about a serious topic here and i just can't stop thinking about that light beam going *boop* at her nose


Damn I'm seeing this video a year late but also right when I need it. Thanks :)


i think i needed this more than I realized


These are great. I really miss café’s too.


my problem is that i haven't fully processed what is happening, i went to Tesco the other day and cried when i got home because of how apocalyptic everything was. I have a nice routine going but i struggle dealing with the fact that this is real and that im scared


my dear dodie..you're so very lovely ahaha♡


Tbh just listening to her read this list makes my shitty day feel a little better.


You are my comforting content ily so much


About what artist did you say when you were talking about music? I'm curious. Besides, thank you for that video, it helps ❤🤗


the soft sound of your voice made me cry


Intelligent articulate Gorgeous woman!  Well said.


For any Nurses in the room, Student, Auxiliary, Trained (Staff), Doctors, Physios, Paramedics, ECA, EMTs etc  especially people who are new to the profession like me.

Times are hard at the moment so remember to talk to your colleagues and family (Especially if you have a medical family like me) about work, unload that shit and don't be afraid to be valuable.

I broke down in the shower after my last shift, spoke to my mum about everything and felt pretty good afterwards.

My point is don't bottle it up like I have over the last few months, talk to people that'll understand, if that's not family then it'll be your colleagues and work mates because honestly only people that have experienced all of it will understand.


Is it just me who got shocked when the intro wasn’t Dodie clapping?😂


A bit off topic but your teeth are so lovely to look at. It’s like you just got your braces off and it brightened my day to see you smile such a free smile <3


Does anyone have any advice on how to actually do the work from home thing? I keep trying to do the stuff but always end up getting distracted.


didn’t sleep at all last night so after the sun rose I made some tea and learned how to make some origami friends


I know this is far from the point but you look so beautiful in this


Did you change your room? No more bunk bed or is this the living room or something? Would love an updated room tour if so <3


I was just catching up on some videos... Saw I had one from you and one from Jay Foreman...

I didn't expect you to feature in both! lol! Great phone technique Dodie!


“Have a bath with said candles. Cover your chilly, worried body in warm and comfort” ooh that sounds nice. Oh WAIT, the hot water is broken so I can only have a freeeezing cold ice bath that’ll be relaxing 😂

@P Lestrange it should be getting fixed today but thank you! :)

If you can, try boiling some water with a kettle and adding a few to make the water warmer! (Obviously test its not too hot b4 getting in) 💙


I know you probably won't see this lol, but i was wondering if you had any good tips for how to deal w dissociation / feeling spaced out a lot at the moment? I keep feeling really disconnected from my feelings and I think it's my brains way of trying to deal with anxiety and i didn't know if you had any advice? Thank you so much for this video as well you've made me want to paint my nails and put a cheesy film on in the background lol <3


I love how some ppl accidentally held their phone upside down when they liked the video haha


I looked up Ethan Gruska and oh my god he's so good, and so underrated!!! Only a few thousand views.. I'd love to hear your cover of one of his songs Dodie, maybe it'd get him more attention :o


I'm so stressed about school and just nervous about how to do the work at home, not being motivated to do said work, missing my friends (even tho I only have like 2 bc I'm a loser lol), and everything feels like it's building up

@Miss Ravenclaw I really needed that, honestly- thank you so much

I understand how you feel, but remember to be kind to yourself. You’re living through a very weird time and not everything will be normal. Take each day as it comes and try not to think of the problems that your brain thinks will happen. I hope you feel a better tomorrow. Sending tons of love your way💜


Dodie's vibes >>>>>> even when she's sad, somehow


little things, all the stereotypes are gonna help you get through this one life


I feel like I can’t relate to everyone going crazy from isolation. My job is still going full force and nothing has changed. I kinda wish I was in isolation, it’d be a lot safer


Listen too something that makes you calm

Binge watches all.of your videos


u have no idea how much we’ve missed our internet big sister!!


*find comfort*
dodie, you are my comfort


Most things are as she said repeated here and there but those simple things are really helpful. Thanks for the reminder


just noticed my life's been a self-isolation for the past 4 years
