My best friend told me something once that really stuck with me, "Everyone has pain, and everyone thinks that their pain is worse than everyone else's."
The point of this statement, is that your pain is important to you, but to others, their pain is important to them. That's not to say your pain isn't important, more so that, whenever possible, one should try to consider what other people are going through.
I politely disagree because my friends and I always feel like our feelings are invalid because others have it worse and we feel like it’s wrong to feel depressed because someone else has it worse.
That got deep really quickly. I've never suffer from a mental illness (I think) so I can't really relate to what you and the people in the comments are feeling, but I hope all of you find the strength and support to move forward and get out of those dark places. I also think that sharing all of that, whether it is on a video or in a comment is incredibly brave and very helpful to the people who are going through something similar. I hope all of you get better
+Vidisha Jha Thank you for commenting that. It made me stop and think. I have sometimes wondered if I have been close to having a mental illness or considered if I have, and the only thing that makes me think I don't is that it would make all those people who actually do suffer from one (or more), like it would be trivialising their experience, and almost stealing the limelight. I'm pretty sure I have a 'mild' one, or at least I have in the past, but I'm kinda in that limbo stage where I know it's not as serious or life-threatening than most, but it's more than being "normal". But yes, I think we can't get enough of the sharing, reducing the stigma is very important. :)
Is anxiety often considered a mental illness? Because I have it but I'm not really sure if I can outright say that I have a mental illness because a) i'm not sure it is one and b) i also feel like that would be like downplaying what 'mental illness' really is...
This comment makes me happy because it's so rare to find someone who has never experienced the pain of a mental illness but actually can sympathise with someone who has. I thank you for that
+Emma Mittleider anxiety certainly counts as a mental illness. A mental illness is anything that interferes with your daily life (not an official definition), and for most people anxiety does that. And as far as downplaying the term, how else would you define what it "really is"?
"Youll remember why you're alive" I have been to rock bottom, like you said, and I know exactly what you mean. Thank you for putting words on what so many are feeling and have felt. Love as always x
I swear, through the past 3 or 4 videos Dodie keeps looking like, increasingly beautiful. I don't know what it is?? Something different with her, or her hair, or her makeup??? But she just looks so amazing. Always has, but particularly blows me away lately.
she's so beautiful in this video! i mean, she always is, but something's different here, maybe the hair? it seems lighter and the hairstyle suits her very well. :)
Sprains often hurt much worse than brakes. Lol and I'm sure there's a metaphor for life in that, too (something about how big/obvious problems- even when really bad--are easier to deal with than the quiet/ small ones we keep to ourselves. Moral: always talk about things and seek help, even if maybe it's just a sprain. It still hurts. ?) anyway your hair looked so lovely in this💕
A Poem about a Cake (that isn't Really about a Cake)
Today I made a cake. Or at the very least I tried, Despite my lack of skill with things you need to bake. If I told you it worked then I would've lied.
Out the oven it came, Broken, bruised and cracked. It seemed to taunt my name, Reminding me of all the thing I lacked.
Ability to bake, people skills, Beauty, happiness, loyalty, trust, someone important to be.. So maybe, the voice says, just swallow those pills. I stood still while these words sank into me.
I then sat on the floor crying, As the voices in my head took the form of a cake. I cried because I knew they weren't lying. All thanks to my inability to bake.
I suffer from anxiety and my new doctor suggested I write the first thing in my mind after a panic attack. I've taken inspiration from this and wrote this poem today.
If you ever read this Dodie just know we're all so proud of you and we'll always support you.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL HOLY FLIP IT'S AMAZING but also I'm really sorry and I hope you're feeling at least slightly better. Stay strong, we're here for you. xxx
it's amazing how all of this came to you through an injury, a sprain. i love how art and creativity just flows through us and hits us at random moments in our lives. this is a wonderful manifestation of that phenomenon.
A poem about my foot (that isn't really about my foot) 0:00 - 0:35
Today I hurt my ankle, I passed out from the pain I thought that it was broken, turns out it's just a sprain I don't get any crutches, no bandages, no bruise A slightly swollen lump just isn't enough proof If you were to feel it, you'd expect it to be blue A mangled mess with a bone sticking out, you'd call an ambulance too But I'm smiling with my ice pack, this sort of goes to show People can feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know
Your openness and bravery to be vulnerable in front of thousands and sometimes millions of people in a medium that can often be cruel and apathetic inspires me every single day. I am always waiting for your videos because you are just so honest. Doddlevloggle, even when scripted, is so genuine that I have a yearning feeling to live and love the way you do. I'm so happy to hear that you are thinking more properly than before, and thank you for letting us know of your progress. It's never your obligation to share your life, and yet please know that what you do share always resounds in me. You are a true friend Dodie Clark; hope that ankle gets better soon!
I just couldn't agree more. Dodie, you are fabulous. I am so glad to hear and see that you are feeling better, And yeah, I can see how it is "a bitter-sweet company" to know that you are not the only one who feels bad.
first off I'm so so glad you are doing better. i hope your foot feels better haha. i couldn't thank you enough you helped me realize i what i was feeling and get help for it. you're so brave to tell us what you're going through, I'm glad you did. <3
You're so real, Dodie. I can relate to everything you've been talking about recently and it's like a breath of fresh air to know that I'm not alone and to know that I shouldn't be afraid to talk about it. I hope you feel a little less broken soon x
Fuck. I've been thinking this a lot lately and I just keep telling myself I'm making a big deal out of nothing, or who am I to feel bad, when so many people feel worse, so hell this hit home.
When dodie says 'jumping out of said loft bed' and points to the bed, the camera momentarily focuses on the bed. I don't know why, but this was satisfying to me lol
That was lovely, Dodie! I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I hope it only keeps getting better from here. You're an inspiration to me in so many ways.
im glad you're feeling better mentally dodie :) i could totally relate to your video about depression, i went through a time like that two years ago. But there is so much to live for, and i feel way more alive now. Your videos helped pull me through, so I'd like to say thank you so much xxx hopefully I'll get to meet you at sitc
You're so beautiful!! And your message is so beautiful. You slay at life. And make us all feel better. People like you are the reason I want to be alive.
Awwww Dodie, I'm so happy that you're feeling better. I know this probably sounds a bit weird, but it really hurt to see someone I admire so much go through so much pain and you were in my thoughts a lot. Lots of love xx
i'll keep coming back to your videos, because they remind me that we will make it out in the end, no matter how shit we're feeling at the moment. it will all pass, thank you for everything what you share here.
+Emka Nunubeesnest it's because liking a comment doesn't push it to the top of the comments section anymore, comments do, but people don't anything to actually say so they just put "+". I think that's it
+Emka Nunubeesnest it was an initiative of hank green (vlogbrothers ) to encourage better (less hateful & controversial) comments going to the top of the page
this is amazing and I love this and I love you Dodie so much. Dodie has helped me through so much of my mental illness challenges and it's amazing. thank you for all you've done Dodie <3
This made me so happy, thank you for updating us and I'm so glad that you're feeling better. Sometimes it's easy to slide back into not feeling "well" but if it's like sinking below water, it's always refreshing to finally come back up for air. Thank you for your sincerity and friendship <3
what a lovely little metaphor, I'm sad you had to go through a painful morning to think of it but it goes to show how you can pull the best things out of a bad situation! thank you for spreading some light on my day
This whole video was so beautiful! The message of the poem, your makeup, your hair and of course just you being in a video makes it so much more beautiful <3 Hope you feel better soon! <3
This is absolutely beautiful, holy crap. Invisible pain is the thorn in my side for all of my life and it's been perfectly explained here. Glad you're back in the light.
This is an incredible message, Dodie. Thank you so much for sharing! Very true and hard to realize that friends have been hurting for a long time but you've only just recently found out.
I'm so glad that you're feeling better! It gives me hope that maybe one day, I too will eventually feel better. Sending lots of love and virtual hugs! x
I'm so glad that you are feeling improvement! I can't imagine what is going on behind the scenes but you seem to be coping really well and doing exactly all the right things to help yourself! Well done! I hope that this is a rollercoster that only goes up, friend! Best wishes from someone who's day brightens when you see you have put a new video up! :) x
This was so creative and wonderful and was such a good connection to a very true topic; sometimes you cannot see someone's pain. I'm so glad you are feeling better, and I hope you only keep getting better❤️❤️PS I love your hair today
I'm so happy you're feeling better, Dodie! Also, you look really pretty in this video, Dodie. Like everything about you looks really good, your hair, your makeup, your smile, your nails, your dress. You look good. :)
I love this. I can truly relate to this as I have "invisible illnesses" mentally and physically. This definitely explains the feelings i have on a regular bases
I am so glad that you're feeling better!! And I'm very impressed that you made a poem about yer bloody foot so friggen deep! You're an inspiration to me and so many other people, and again, I'm so glad you're feeling better. <3
It actually makes me really happy to hear that you're getting better. I've been trough the same stuff aand I used to selfharm, but I've been clean for almost two months and I feel so much better now then I did back then. Ily Dodie 💜
Aw yay! Dodie's back! Great to see you again, lovely person ^_^ Glad you're feeling better and sorry your ankle isn't being a team player. Time will fix that! And lots of ice <3
I've been in pain so many times. Around four years ago I inured my elbow. Everyone I told just said to me that it was fine. For three years. Then around a year ago, my mom finally let me see a doctor, and it turns out that part of my bone broke off, and I needed to have surgery to fix it. Don't let people tell you that the pain is just in your head. Also, I hope your foot feels better. I know how it feels.
Dodie<3 you're so beautiful, I'm going through the same thing at the moment and its nice to know someone else can feel what I'm feeling, makes me not feel so scared<3
As someone with chronic pain as soon as you said "someone could feel like they're on fire and you'd never know' I was like 'god BLESS SO ACCURATE' I'm glad you're feeling better mental health wise Dodie <3
I absolutely love that your brain is feeling better! I do hope that your ankle feels better though, you should really move those cactuses. But I'm so glad that your brain is doing better, I'm trying, I'm better as well.
Dodie I love how honest and genuine you are on this channel. Most youtubers just don't seem as real as you. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better (seriously I am) and I really hope your ankle heals as quick as possible. Also sprains freaking hurt af right? Whenever I sprained my ankle/wrist when I was younger everyone would bash me for crying so much lol.
Dodie, you're such an amazing human and I'm so proud of you. I know how you're feeling, and I wouldn't want to wish it upon anybody because it's so crap. You're strong, and you're loved and never forget that, you're a beautiful human who has saved so many souls and you're so so so loved and worth so much xxx
dodie you are a wonderful, lovely human being and i'm so glad i found your youtube channel. you make me very happy. u inspire me to do music, art, whatever. u inspire me to create. i'm glad you're doing better.
My wife has Fibromyalgia and sigh it's hard for us both. No one understands and they say, "You look fine." But she's literally never fine. Not.for.one.minute is she without pain... it's lonely even when you have someone with you because it is isolating either way - <3
Sending much support! my mum suffers from Fibromyalgia and it's so hard but my family and me all try to be understanding and help her throughout this path of pain that may never end. Your wife, just like my mum, is not alone; and even if people can't tell they are hurting, that doesn't make it "unvalid".
Yep. Anyone interested in learning about silent sickness should read about The Spoon Theory. It really helps illustrate how much more difficult life is than you can see. :> Thanks guys!
My mum has it too and I know how you feel. It's hard sometimes even for me to remember that I need to walk slower for her etc. but I think she's finally accepting she is disabled even if you can't 'see' her disability. Sending love & support to you both and your wife & mum :)
I'm so glad you're feeling better ♡ that little "I will now hobble...." at the end reminded me of me attempting adult life, but isn't that all of us? :') Stay strong x
Thank you for making this video. It's upsetting to see someone I look up to go through this but also its good to know that you are feeling better. Rock bottom seems to just get progressively worse but knowing that someone who has experienced it is feeling better is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sending love and support.
Dodie! You are a wonderful wonderful wonderful person and I really just wish I could give you a hug and tell you how much I appreciate your hard work, your creativity, your honesty and openness, and your kind and giving nature. You are such a sweet person, and I'm so glad you make the content that you do and that you share these experiences with your audience so they know that they are not alone. <3
You're so amazing Dodie! Ilove you so so much; I think you're the only youtuber who has stayed genuine and personal with their audience whilst creating amazing content. Well done you slay.
I'm crying dodie I'm so proud of you for everything I love you so much it's so good to see you smile like that after you posted a video of you looking so sad. You're amazing and an inspiration never forget it.
this was a beautiful metaphor dodie. im so so so happy to see you're doing better brain-wise, even if it's just a little bit. you inspire me everyday and i hope that ankle (and brain) gets better soon :)
"Be kind to people, for everyone you meet is fighting a tough battle." Here's to many kind encounters for you, Dodie! Your courage and creativity are truly beautiful. ~ Sheep xx
Hey Dodie I really love you a lot. You're so open and honest and genuine with us and I wish I could be as positive as you. you've helped me a lot through some tough times. Dodie you belong on this earth and you're ankle is going to get better I promise :-)
I love the metaphor/poems and songs that you do, everything you do just shows that you work hard for your channel and it's straight from the heart. I'm happy to see that you're not masking pains and emotions, as you said, it's sad but it makes me feel less alone. Thank you
I really admire how honest you are, and it's so nice to watch a real person rather than a "youtube persona", so thank you :) Glad your in a better place :D
Dodie, you need to be protected. You are such a sweet and kind person and I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND AGH. You are so strong and you are the types of person I want to be when I grow up. And you are grounded, no more jumping off your bed. Give me your laptop.
I am so happy you are feeling better Dodie! I understand the deceiving cuteness of the plants and what pain they can inflict. Wonderful to see your cheery self again ❤️
This poem was so beautiful and had such a deep meaning. I was honestly struck. I relate to it a lot and I always contenplate this kind of thing. Im glad you're feeling better. Ive been worried about you. (Also, I'd like to say your hair looks lovely in this.)
Oh Dodie, that was gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing. I love you so much. My friend introduced me to you about a year ago and the first video she showed me of yours was Happy Ending and I was like, "WTH WHERE HAS THIS WOMAN BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!" I've been hooked on you and your vlogs, music, and coke TV ever since 😊 Also, YOU NEED TO COLLAB WITH COLLEEN BALLINGER YOU AND HER ARE LIKE TWINS. You're both GORGEOUS, you're both QUEENS and you both play uke and sing beautifully 😊 ILYSM DODIE PLEASE TRY TO COLLAB WITH HER OR AT LEAST RESPOND TO THIS EITHER WAY I'LL STILL LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND HOW BUSY YOU ARE 😊💕
1.this was a very very amazing little poem that could make anyone understand mental illness a bit better 2.you look incredibly beautiful in this video (which you always do but even more so in this) 3. i hope your foot is ok and won't hurt for much longer 4. you are amazing and a massive inspiration to me <3 love you dodie :)
So glad you're feeling better mentally, even though you have to deal with a sprained ankle now. It can be a lot easier to deal with physical pain I find, so even though you ended up trading one pain for another, hopefully it's a lesser pain for you too. Lots of love!
oh lord im so glad you're feeling a little more real because you really deserve it. also, your hair looks really nice, your freckles are adorable and that shade of lipstick really suits you omg. also, this video is wonderful and pain blows, but it's also a large part of life. so, we carry on with our blue ankles with the bone sticking out
oh i'm so glad you're feeling better. at the time it always feels completely impossible, but once you've recovered once from a really low point i think it's easier (still hard but slightly easier) to remember that it's not the end of the world. hope you continue to feel much better, both your head and your ankle :)
this is so real & raw & beautiful & cute at the same time! also, you are sooooo beautiful. your hair looks so long when you wear it this way :) I am so glad to hear your head is in a better place, but I will continue to pray for you & send positivity your way! you are incredible & strong & wonderful!!!
Thanks for uploading this video ❤ Thanks for letting us know you're feeling better ❤ Thanks for talking about recovery, bc it's very important!! I didn't believe in recovery because the people who told me it was possible to feel better didn't have the same problem as me, but when people who have been in the same situation tell their experiences and talk about recovery, it gives hope. Ily 😊
Thank you for this Dodie. I needed a good cry anyways hah. I'm so glad you're feeling better. It pains me to see you sad, it really does. The best people go through such pain and I see it happen all the time. You didn't do anything to deserve it, I promise you.. remember that. The concept of the mind is just poop and everything is sad and meaningful underneath. There's a reason for everything, so I hope you're growing and appreciating where you've come from in your past of sadness. Because I know that my sadness has made me grow as a human and helped me become more understanding and reasonable. Because of my sadness, I was able to help another friend get help for hers because I understood that she was truly in pain, and I didn't brush it off like people did with me. I have also developed a love for things that I never would have in the past; creating art. And that's what you did with this video. You created a form of art for others to relate to and it helps people like me. So thank you
I feel your pain Dodie! I injured my knee a while back and it killed like hell but they said it wasn't a major injury and I was like how did it hurt so much then. I did get crutches though but tbh I absolutely hated them so you're probably better off without them. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
I'm at rock bottom dodie, and I can't seem to figure out why I'm alive. I'm so happy that you're feeling better. You deserve happiness dodie! You're amazing ❤️
i am obsessed with her poetic lyrics. they baffle me and really make me think from a perspective id never would have thought of. plus she is so open about her sensitivity to life which makes mine feel more normal yet just smiles and gets on with life..argh she is such an inspiration💜
1. This is such an amazing metaphor and it makes so much sense to me💞 2. Your hair looks really nice👏🏻 3. Please could you do a video on tips on how to write songs❤️
Dodie, you beautiful human being you. I'm so happy that your mental state is better now. I know how it feels, and I'm glad you're working through it. Also, I hope your ankle feels better soon :)
OMG i love ya dodie!! Hope you feel better and I just love how real you are on your channel, like some people would not want to share that with their audiences and i think it makes youtubers seem more like real people! Also can you collab with dan or phil?? okay love ya!!
i always love your poems aaaaaa !! i'm sorry about your foot but i'm so glad your head is feeling better !!! i wish you all the best and i hope you stay in a good place for a long long time. love u <3333
I'm so incredibly happy that you feel better, because I honestly felt less alone when I found out I wasn't the only one going through what I was, and to hear that you're pulling through is so relieving, and I'm so proud that you're fighting. keep going Dodie! fight to be alive!
thank you for this. seeing genuine people speaking openly about their condition gives me a lot of hope. I'm not sure how and when I've grown so fond of you and your work, but every video that you upload makes me feel better about myself, the world and society. thankyouthankyouthankyou
I haven't been watching your videos for very long, probably only a couple of months, but I am absolutely in love with them. You're such a wonderful and talented person, and you've inspired me to keep going. I can never thank you enough.
Omg Dodie how do you always know what to say and what videos to put out when I'm feeling terrible. Going through a tough time myself at the moment and your lovely lovely words really help. Honestly, you're a dream and a blessing and I am just so appreciative of all your videos. I wish you such splendour and happiness in everything you do and I will forever be cheering you on from the comment section. Again, really, seriously, thank you.
I adore this metaphor ! I like the comparison. (Also, completely unrelated, your hair looks great!) I'm glad you're feeling better & people have reached out. You are loved!
I am so blessed to be able to watch your videos and at least know your name. You really are a gift and an inspiration to me and many other people. I have been through a lot and your videos really help me cope with it all. Thank you so much Dodie.
I'm so glad you're feeling better (apart from your ankle ouch) ilysm 💗 I know how hard it is, I recently told my parents that I have been feeling depressed for the past few years, but they didn't believe me and said I was ungrateful and said it is because I'm a teenager. Smh, but I've been feeling better in myself, a shout out to all of you battling any sort of illness, mental or physical, stay strong, you're doing great 💕💕
Okay 1) this analogy is amazing I love it I'll remember it forever it finally explains what I can't and 2) you look so good in this video. Your hair and your lipstick thing and your face you just look lovely. Dodie I love you so much thanks for making things makes sense when I cant
I'm so glad you posted this. I've learned this too not that long ago. I found out my friend was harming herself and I would have never expected it from her. she was always so happy and it broke my heart a lot. I think it's really important that more people realize this
Dodie, you genuinely look so extraordinarily beautiful in this video. You really seem to glow for some reason and idk you're just shining. :) Love from Germany!
1 i'm SO glad you're feeling better! you are so brave for sharing your experiences with mental illness ( you haven't called it that but i hope it's ok, that the umbrella term i use ) and it's so wonderful to hear that you're feeling well mentally. sorry about the ankle though 2 your makeup/hair/demeanor i guess? reminded me a lot of tessa in this video. i think both of you are lovely and your usual look is v cute and this look is also v cute. keep up the cuteness! :)
you always manage to see art in everything, it's so inspiring to see you take this pain you're going through (both on your foot and in your mind) and turn it into a song or poem or even just find the moral of it and share that to help others. in this world where nobody ever wants to talk about their feelings, you're starting the conversations; reading through all the comments of people sharing their stories and people being so supportive in replies, you've created this lovely little community of viewers who genuinly care about each other and you. it's such a safe haven.
Dodie i just want to say I'm so happy your brain is feeling better and thank you for the parts of your life you put out on here when no one even has to. Someone going through hard stuff is sad but it's also great that when it happens, someone shares it because representation can do so much for so many people; I can't even express how much you've helped me. Hope your ankle's getting better, and I have to agree with you - house plants on straits are rly aesthetic but not v practical. Find a place even more aesthetic than the stairs tho! x
Honestly I really love this video because it doesn't seem like much. It's short and the title doesn't really suggest much, but then you watch it and it has this really important and meaningful message. I'm really glad you're feeling better mentally and I'm sorry about your foot. But thank you for sharing this because it's really a clever metaphor and a beautiful message
Your videos always make me feel so much better and less alone, thank you so much for them! Also you look really really pretty in this video (but to be honest you look really really pretty in every video) ♥
You are so amazing... and yeah get that feeling. And it is a great one to finally realize why you are alive. sure it doesn't fix everything but it helps! Keep it up. Hope everything feels better.
Sending love and comfort and understanding to you, Dodie, and everyone else as well! I believe in you, that you have the strength to pull through and that everything you're feeling is 100% valid.
you are lovely and wonderful and amazing. thank you for existing and for sharing your experiences with all of us. you deserve the world, and i really, really hope you keep feeling better. love you!
'People can feel like they're on fire.' I've described my anxiety as feeling like my mind is on fire so that really got me. Also in regards to why you're alive the boom Reasons to Stay Alive is a really great read and really helpful if you have any mental health issues (also I think I may have stole the description of being on fire for there).
Dodie, I am exactly where you are right now. I've been here several times but this time I really feel like this is the real deal. I am very glad your are doing well. Remember to practice self-care regularly and remember the reasons why you want to be alive.
Oh Dodie, I hope your ankle feels better! I've sprained both of mine as well during dance classes and it is no fun! It should be a speedy recover if you ice, elevate, and stretch it though.
Sending you lots and lots of love and warmth. I am so glad that you have lovely people who can help care for you when it may be a little hard to do all by yourself. Thank you for your incredible vulnerability and light- watching you gives others permission to do the same and I think our world could use a whole lot more vulnerability and empathy. You're fantastic and I am so glad you're feeling better. It's an incredible privilege to get to see little bits of your creative spirit ❤️
I have a real fear of feet so was worried about this 😂 but I just smiled that dodie is so beautifully okay at the moment - she has found a reason to live which made me realise anyone can. Life is wondrous (without those damn cactus)
I love you, thank you so much for being someone that I can relate to and inspires me. I know I'm not alone, and I know that I can always pull myself out.
I sprained my ankle when I was in 6th grade and I was so mad because all of my closest friends thought I was faking, even though I never faked any type of injury, in fact I usually hide it when I'm hurting or sick. Also, lovely video Dodie!
This poem just like made me like rethink my entire existence omg I love it djmsllsdhsjissnsks. I love how you made a poem about your foot into have an incredibly deep meaning. I'm also so so so happy to see you've gotten better Doddie, I love you!
but also i really love this video and the words and their meaning. so good to see you doing better, and hopefully if this happens again you'll at least feel more in control and prepared. i was the worst ive ever been mentally about 6 months ago so it's been more gradual but im better at the moment and it's nice to realise you just aren't thinking the same as you were. <3
Both this video and your one about depression really spoke out to me. I am glad that you are feeling better metally Hope that your ankle heals swiftly.
i saw this uploaded when i was comparing physical to emotional pain to one of my friends, and the significance of acknowledging pain either way- thank you for this it was perfect timing (but really it would always be perfect timing for somebody xo )
I'm so happy you're feeling a bit better, I 100% relate to what you're going through. I was at rock bottom last summer, and 1 year later it's already so much better (I still can't believe it sometimes) so I know that you will get through it <3 and remember we're here for you
I remember first listening to this when it came out and I thought it was about how people can be hurt and not tell anyone so be careful around and be nice to people but now I know it's about a lot more than that
Thank you so much for this. I have multiple chronic illnesses and they all impact on my life hugely, but I still don't look ill or in pain. Maybe a little pale and fatigued looking but that's all. And I have to say there is nothing worse than seeing people you haven't seen in a while and them tell you 'wow you look great' or 'wow you've lost weight, you're looking really good'. They would both be lovely compliments for a well person but when you spend your life going in and out of hospital and being told every time you see your doctor that you condition has got that little bit worse. That's when those 'compliments' hit you like a tonne of bricks. You start to think 'well if I look so well why do I feel this way' or 'they're basically telling me that I'm just faking it or its not as bad as I say'. I just wish more people knew that the majority of physical and mental illnesses are invisible and that you should trust in what people tell you.
I relate to this video on a literal level! Sprained both my ankles ( each on different days), and they hurt like a %&&^%$. Went to the doctor and he basically said "lol you're fine" even though it was immensely painful! Bought an ankle brace in Boots because the hospital wouldn't give me one
You're so pretty. And I totally relate to your video about depression and anxiety, and I just cried so much. You're a beautiful person Dodie. Don't forget that.
You look like a very different Dodie with straight hair, woah. I'm glad you're doing better mentally :) Sad you're hurting physically. :(
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), recently diagnosed. I used to give 130%, now I start each day at most at 70% energy/brainpower. I haven't found a way to stop comparing my 70 to my previous 130, so whatever I do now never seems like enough. But eventually I'll realize I can only do max 70 and be happy if I do even 60 in a day :) Ok bye! :)
Oh, and I share your shout out to the NHS. Having lived in lots of places (including across the pond) I am grateful for what they do. they have saved my life, literally, twice.
You look pretty today! :) It's true, people are in pain and you don't see it... some people have chronic illnesses/depression and you would never know about it unless they decide to tell you. I find it hard to know that I can't do anything to make it better.. except to listen, and let them know you're there for them
I can relate to this so much. I have anxiety and depression and one of my best friends doesn't understand it very well. One night he just goes "I wish I could just grab ahold of your depression and just take it out of you." I wish it was that easy. But a lot of the time I send him your videos and they help him understand what I'm going through, especially since I can't always put my feelings into words.
Can I just say, you can really see the freckles you have across your nose in this video and it's really really pretty! I hope your ankle/foot gets better soon and hopefully I'll see you at sitc in a couple weeks xx
I'm now writing a song on my mom's piano. All the same, I'm really glad you posted something. I've been worried. I know that may sound silly; we've never met (and boy do I want to) but I see you all the time and I feel connected to you. I know how hard depression is. I have a permanent tattoo to remind me why I kept fighting day to day. I'm so glad you're feeling better. I'm sending love, Dodie. ❤️
I am so happy to know that you are feeling better! I have been through depression and even though i'm better now, I have episodes where it comes to kick me back in the face. I deal with it pretty much everyday of my life but I'm good. And it is so true that when you start talking about this, you realize that there is so much more people dealing with this than you'd think. But it does get better. I used to not believe this. But now I get it. Anyway, I'm happy you're better Dodie! You really inspire me as a creator and I admire you a lot! Lots of love xxxx
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I have been praying for you since you posted your last video. You deserve only the best my dear. God bless, and may all that you do be filled with light and love.
(side note sorry: just wanted to say you made me really happy because your username reminded me I actually did my taxes early this year, semi-functioning adult ftw)
I see you comment on a lot of videos I watch and I really feel like we would become great friends if we ever met. Also that Hamilton picture gives me life every single time I see it
You're so very brave. I think that's something I need to say to you. It makes me very proud of you (a stranger! Who I do not know! But still!) to know that you're working so diligently on this, and feel brave enough myself to persist through my own...issues. Lol. Thank you for being an inspiration- although I'm sure that's your LAST thought now, while you try to get onto your feet. Good luck with your foot, too, by the way. Love from all of us, and from me in particular. c:
aww dodie youve done it again. this is soo good!! i, too have just massively sprained my ankle it does in fact hurt quite a bit. overall this was a wonderfully worded poem, and you are a wonderful person. its so nice to be able to watch someone like you on youtube because you're not only very relatable, but you're very real. i feel as if we're good friends, and i've only met you once. best of luck to you and your ankle. i hope that your brain feels better and better as your days go on. i love you sooo much!! best of wishes to you! 💞💕💖
Ooo a metaphor. I love it. This was very clever and powerful in a way I haven't seen before. Hope things get better for you. By the way, the cacti do look pretty cool.
You looked completely different in some way. Your hair looked really nice that way but you could also see the difference between the last video and this one. I don't know how to explain it but I could see it in your eyes. It's a good little change and it makes me happy to see it :) Also hope the pain goes away quickly!
Dodie I loved this, as someone who suffers with unexplained physical pain after cancer treatment, and at times I feel really low as I've just found out I have epilepsy too - I'm so glad you're doing better and I hope I get to meet you at sitc
heh.. I watched this without audio but I knew the back story so I felt ok to comments... and then I read the comments. whoops. i don't know everythib about this video then.
This is why you're so inspirational. Everything about the whole anxiety thing got to me and it made me feel like I'm alone (btw I love your hair straightttt)
Glad you're feeling better! Hope your foot heals. And even if you get back to the dark place, I hope you remember that there's a way out. I'm going to bookmark this for the next time I have a hard time getting out of bed, because I don't always remember that there are others who feel the same way I do, and it's a very lonely place. Thanks for being so open and wonderful about this. <3 <3
I've been learning something similar as my dad passed away in February. It's insane how many people have said "oh wow I lost my mom last year" or "my dad died when I was in college too". So many people have this horrible invisible pain and it doesn't go away once your finished mourning. People go on with their lives and eventually they quit asking if you're ok even though the pain isn't over, it's just different. It really helps with loving people, though, once you know their pain. It's easy to have compassion when we share and listen with one another.
i fell out of the door the other day and twisted my ankle and it honestly felt like i had snapped it so i know how you feel! keep it above your heart and don't over do walking (even if it feels okay, trust me i learnt the hard way!) i hope it heals soon! x
this was beautiful. it's very true that so many more people are struggling than we realise. but as sad as that can feel, something to remember is that it means we're all together in the hardest times.
beautiful vid. Thanks for the gorgeous poem. You make me want to write again!! EEP! :) Thank you for sharing this. Ever the helpfully honest vlogger <3
I'm so happy you're feeling better, even if it's only a little bit. you inspire me every day and when you're happy, I'm happy, but when you're sad, I'm sad. I love you. your pain is valid
this was a stunning metaphor and i think it can make mental health a lot more relatable for people when it is put into words of physical pain that more people may have experienced so good job and glad you're better brain wise <33 (also man i sprain my ankle so many damn times and it always kills so its especially damn relatable)
It's amazing how many people that this video will probably help. It will help so many people Dodie you're just so amazing and we all love you, you have great people to fall back on whether its your family, close friends, or even us as your audience. We love you and are happy you're doing better <3
Can't say I comment on videos too often but aren't you looking just beautiful dodie! Especially after your ankle ordeal 😂 glad to hear you're feeling better. I can't imagine how scary it is to be so open and honest and vulnerable in front of your audience but talking about mental illnesses is the only way to stop the stigma surrounding them! I've found myself talking more and confiding in friends when I haven't really felt myself and although in the past I thought bottling everything up was my way of coping with things, I can't even explain to you how much better I feel for just talking and I really owe a thank you to you - for beginning the conversation and making me feel that little bit less alone in the world ✨💕🌞 stay wonderful and never stop what you do because you really do help more people than you even know x
Your ankle may be hurting but your hair is gorgeous!! I'm glad you're feeling better. I recently had the "oh shit this is what I'm here for" moment when doing tech work for a local musical, after feeling like I didn't have a reason or purpose or destiny for fucking ages. I'm glad you're so open and ready to be vulnerable with your audience. It's 1, refreshing, and 2, reassuring to know that I'm not alone. (Speaking of not alone you should totally cover that song 😉😉)
haha glad to hear you've come good! ive been waiting for this video without knowing it since you posted the last one. keep on fighting the good fight :)
God, I love dodie so much..honestly sometimes I feel like she's talking directly to me..like when she says something like "you'll pull through" I feel like I can..idk ..maybe I'm just weird or whatever but she can make me extremely happy when ever I feel really down.
This was such a good way to explain something in a way that those not experiencing the pain can try to understand. I'm so glad you're feeling better, both mentally and hopefully physically. Also may I just say Dodie, you look outrageously pretty today (not that you don't always), please stop its lowering my self esteem!
I live in chronic ankle pain and also struggle with mental health issues. To have someone put into words what I feel everyday honestly left me speechless. I'm so happy you made this video!
Dodie I absolutely luv you're videos there hilarious and u teach all people different lessons your one of my favourite youtubers and I enjoyed you're song my face so much I had the opportunity to sing on stage and Rhys the song I sang keep making amazing videos xxx
this just struck me so much, i remember seeing a quote once that said "everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. be kind. always." and that has stuck with me every single day of my life. you hear constantly "you never know what people are going through" but it's SO TRUE. a couple of months ago i found out that a close friend of mine had been suffering from severe depression and another from anxiety, and all the while i'd just assumed that their outward personality meant i knew everything about them. i promise that every single human has secrets and have had something happen to them, or are going through something or thinking something, that you would never ever guess, no matter how well you think you know them. thats why it is so important to be your kindest and to smile and make time for friends and make exceptions and be considerate. everyone is struggling and trying their best.
YES DODIE! As a volunteer in the ambulance service I have learned that pain is a very weird thing. It can be visable, invisable and sometimes questionable. You will never know what someone elses pain feels like, or even be able to liken it to something you have felt. All you gotta do to be an awesome friend is listen, be that shoulder and call the ambulance when it's needed. Hope your poorly foot feels better soon, and you are back to your lovely bouncy self.
Random but when she finished the poetic bit, I was like unsure wether if she was still going or not and I went through many emotions. Otherwise I love the metaphor and awesome vid. Xx
I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and I just wanna say that I appreciate that no matter how much you may be feeling down that you can still make videos, update things like to twitter to let us know that you are ok (I hope you are) and make music that is really inspiring. Make sure to keep on doing whatever makes you smile or happy and stay positive. Know that if you ever feel alone that we will all be here to support you no matter what you do. x
First of all dodie...looks so beautiful here like wtf she is an angel and secondly im so so glad you're feeling better and it's so great to talk about mental illness bc there's so much stigma around it even tho sO many people are going through something and also your amazing ily 💖
I love you and I'm glad you are feeling better! I love you so much I still want to meet you and just give you a big hug!! I hope your ankle feels better! Have a good day!
Omg this is so powerful, I love the way you put it :) On another note, OMg your hair has grown SO much. I literally got mine cut yesterday to the length you got it when you first cut it.
This made me cry so hard. Maybe because I am one of those people that relate to you and today is the worst day so far. Thank you Dodie, you are so so amazing and wonderful and intelligent and I will be forever thankful for getting me through the day, everyday.
Might just be me but dodie looks really good in this video, it feels like she did her hair and is treating herself so GOOD JOB TO THAT!! ILU SO MUCH AND KEEP YOURSELF AS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY BECAUSE U DESERVED TO BE LOVE BY YOU
Dodie you look so lovely in this video and I just wanted you to know that you're the loveliest person I've ever seen. I'm feeling quite unwell lately too, but Idk if it's serious enough to seek professional help, even though ik that the concept of "serious enough" is stupid.
The bit at the end made me cry. You're so fucking brave, dodie. You're such a wonderful human being and I would love to be even half as amazingly beautiful as you are; inside and out X
This reminds me of how when I was younger I thought most people were mentally and physically healthy, but when I got older I realized that's not the case at all. (And then I felt like "Duh, self, why do you think there are hospitals and health facilities everywhere??") Everybody is taking some kind of medicine or therapy for something or other and nobody is 100% healthy for the majority of their time. It's kind of a sad thing to think about but yeah, also it's like "well I'm not alone."
<3 you Dodes. Feel better soon. In all aspects. Also please find another place for your plants to reside! No more breaking yourself.
I literally started crying when you said you were better because oh my God I am so so glad to hear this. you are my favorite YouTuber (and even though this may sound weird maybe even my favorite person on earth because 1. i don't have many people in my life irl and 2. you are so open and honest and comforting that I sometimes feel like you're the only person who's with me) and I've worried a lot about you the past few weeks. I know exactly how you feel (I've been in and out of several treatment centers for various disorders myself over the past years) and to hear you're feeling better makes me really really happy.. thank you for being you and for doing what you're doing, because in a way you could say you've saved my life <3 (also I'm getting some lyrics of yours tattooed soon because both this channel and your songs mean the world to me :))
If anyone knows how to help me get through a rough time it's dodie. I am going through the same thing she went through and I honestly have been feeling really alone and scared. No one seems to understand and they'd always say "it's just stress, get some extra sleep" but it's not that simple and it is very comforting to know that I am not the only one and that I'm not going completely mad. Thank you dodie for talking about such important things and making the pain not hurt so much😊😊
great metaphor, Dodie. I sprained my ankle horridly in May and I am just now being able to do a lot of physical activity. It sucks. Don't strain your ankle, it only makes it worse and last longer. Good luck.
I am so glad that you are feeling better. The bravery it must take to be vulnerable in front of thousands of people is truly inspiring, and the way you can always find beauty in the smallest things and little metaphors, inspires me to see my own life differently. every video I watch on this channel is so genuine and real, your ability to connect with your audience is a true gift. All the best x
I really like the little "the last five years" reference (I'm not sure if it was intentional) I just smiled when you said "see I'm smiling" also I really like the metaphor, it's a really good idea to compare mental health to physical health, I fell like it really gets the point across :D
ahhhhhhhh dude the end of the vid made me so fucking relieved because ive been so darn worried about u and i knew as someone who doesnt know you personally that i couldnt help you and i know things aren't totally fixed obviously but im so glad that youre getting help and you have wonderful friends and im so glad and proud of u man<3
Dodie, you face physical and mental pain and you manage to get through it and make thousands of people cheerful everyday. If I so much as get back pain, I rage quit. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others would agree. ❤️
Thank you... I have a form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis (I'm so proud of myself for spelling it right first time XD) which causes a lot of pain for me, but people can't see it. And people tell me to get well soon, but it's chronic so I'll never really get better... Sometimes it's nice to be reminded that people do think about invisible illnesses. So thank you :) I just subscribed to you, so I'm probably gonna go watch a load of your old videos now :)
I've never had someone word it that well; I suffer from chronic pain due to a condition that isn't visible. Its really tricky to try and get people to understand that it's real and that it's bad even if I'm laughing and jumping about. I think I might give them the link to this video in the future ;)
At the beginning of semester two of my sophomore year I lost all motivation. I was convinced that my friends and family didn't love me, that nothing I did mattered, and I was exhausted all the time. I had a 0.9 GPA and I gained fifteen pounds within the span of three weeks. After I actually talked to the people around me about what was going on I got in a really good head space, lost a lot of the extra weight, and I finished the year with a 3.4 GPA.
I cannot believe I just found you! Over the course of 3 days I have managed to watch SO MANY of your videos. I wish you lived in the US because I honestly think we would be buddies. You are so witty, funny, creative, lovely, and I enjoy your videos so much! I think your brain and my brain operate very similarly as well. Also, if we were friends, I would like to think that your accent would wear off on me a bit ;) Thanks for the videos!
Dodie, I am so glad you feel better now, but mental health illnesses often go up and down, so if you do feel down again you should really go and see someone, your mental health is so important. Please take care of yourself! xxx
i was in a wheelchair for four or five months last year and from then to now ive been on crutches, and even then people still thought i was faking injury. i got bullied and teased even though if they had just seen my xray of a metal rod going through the bone in my leg and the multiple screws and seen my tears from the hours upon hours total of physical therapy, they would have known i would have never even WANTED to fake something like this. i was in such a pit of sadness and depression while in my wheelchair that i literally considered suicide. nobody should have to feel like that and nobody should ever have to be accused of faking anything, be it physical or mental illness. i couldnt prove to them my problems existed, but my paranoia was validated by their teasing, so now i feel like if i dont get better soon, it will never stop. i physically cannot walk without my crutches for long periods at this point in time as my entire body just ACHES. i really wish that ppl werent so ignorant
i love the message you are sending! my mum has an illness called ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and i am her young carer, her illness is basically invisible apart from her limp and walking stick. it is many symptoms mixed together with added things like fibromyalgia and arthritis in the lower spine, but it is very difficult to see the illness when we are in public because the fact is that the only reason she is in public on those days is because she is having a good day. if you saw her bedridden on the bad days, which is like 5 of the 7 days in a week, you wouldn't be able to deny that something was wrong with her. and it annoys me that the kids at my school don't believe that i am her carer because they don't see me look after her. and lastly, she has to take a test when she needs to get a disabled badge and she recently was denied for one because they didn't believe she was ill enough. so you are completely right, Not All Pain And Illness Is Visible.
Dodie, I will say that back in March, I hurt my back really badly, and when I went to the doctor, they said it was just a really bad sprain. Something tells me, 4 months later, that isn't not just a sprain, considering that it still hurts pretty badly.
The fact that you're doing better made my day. Hell, made my week. You don't deserve this depression bull shit. No one does. Continue that wellness train, Dodie :D
Hi dodie, I think it would really help if you read "Reasons To Stay Alive" it's a beautiful and incredible book. I read it in a day and it really helped me, I'd really recommend it to anyone and everyone who's struggling with depression or anxiety. Whether it's severe or not. However I do feel it requires a trigger warning x
i love the poem (struggled with people who didn't belive me for a long time, and when you're suddenly in a psychiatry, they start to believe you) and i hope your food gets well soon but...
CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR HAIR IN THIS VIDEO? I LOVE IT!
Dodie we are sore-foot twins! I broke my foot in five places a week ago.... just in time for my birthday too (yesterday). Still had fun though, I get a wheelchair for school and it's fun
I've never really suffered from depression or anything but I can still relate to the thing about looking fine on the outside but not being okay on the inside. I suffer from really intense pains throughout my legs and arms but I still look fine and can do stuff normally even though it kills. Not many people realise until I mention it and even at times my own mum thinks I'm just using it as an excuse.
I know this isn't the point of the video (even though it's amazing, as always) but I would like to say I really like the way you did your hair, it looks very nice :)
This hit me really hard. Today I found out that some of my closest friends struggle with depression and high anxiety. It's so scary because I suffer the least mentally and I still have breakdowns and struggle with getting myself to do things. It's just scary how many people are suffering.
I actually fell down the stairs in April and sprained my ankle then 😂 I almost passed out but glad I didnt. went to the doctor and they gave me a splint and crutches. My parents were on Vacation though which topped it all off
One time I landed hard on my ankle during a track event. There was a loud crack and i was in so much pain. I went to the doctor and she asked me where the pain was. I gestured to around my ankle area bc basically the whole thing hurt and she instantly told me that it was not broken bc I would be able to pinpoint the pain. Didn't offer an x Ray, or even a brace. She said it'll be completely healed in 1 month, but here I am 4 months later and I can't wear heels anymore because of the pain, it's still swollen, and I can't run on it.
I relate to this so much. Even in the literal sense. I got a grade 3 ankle sprain and I did need crutches because it was so bad, but when it happened, I was laughing and smiling because I didn't want to worry anyone. Like, I want people to understand that I am genuinely in pain, but I also don't like feeling vulnerable so I make it seem like it's not bad. The injury happened at school and my friends took me to the nurse's office, so I waited until I was all alone in the room to sob my eyes out. Then when I heard my friend come in, I wiped my eyes as fast as I could and told her my eyes were just red because I fell asleep. And like, my sister died recently and I never told anyone- not even my best friend. I hate making people feel uncomfortable so I hate bringing up things that make me sad or tribulations on my life.
So glad you are doing better! Please go ahead with your plan to see a doctor. Use the time with the Dr. to learn coping skills for when things take a bit of a turn again. I hope your ankle feels better very soon!
i love you so much. you're so inspiring and beautiful and you don't try to act perfect, and you're just so very comforting. i am so so happy you exist. and to anyone reading this, stay alive. it's worth it, i promise. 💙💐
I relate so hard to the way you feel right now. It's that weird feeling after such a long time of negative emotions and one day you wake up and realise, you don't feel as bad as you did before. And from their you build; after all, the only way you can go from rock bottom, is up!
I've had on again off again bouts of depression since middle school. I hit my rock bottom last summer and finally went to a therapist. I know that everyone's experience is different but I also know about locking the door and crying as you google symptoms and pull up endless pages trying to figure out why you don't feel like yourself anymore, why you don't have fun doing the things you used to love, why you're so numb and isolated when everything on the outside is fine. I went to therapy. I talked a lot. I learned a lot. I figured out how to be less hard on myself and how to take it one day at a time. I remembered why I'm here. And I'm lucky. For me it went away and I feel good now. It may come back, but if it does I know how to deal with it better. Watching you talk about your experience reminds me of where I was back then, and seeing you seek help and learn how to understand what you're feeling gives me so much hope. It doesn't get better overnight. It's a process. It's a lot of coping and pushing through and being thankful for the little things. It sounds weird to say I'm proud of someone I don't know but I am so proud of you Dodie.
Dodie Clark, you are a very sweet and unique kind of human, and I'm happy that I'm spending my time watching your pretty face. A proof that I like spending my time on you is, that I just got auto corrected about 50 times whilst writing ''Dodie'' as it got changed to ''Jodie''.
You just made a poem about a sprained ankle become a poem about mental illness and for that I love you. For real though, that's so clever and amazing. You're fantastic! :3
I am a complete stranger but wanted to thank you for this video. We are all a bit broken and we all need to look after each other. Gentle stranger internet hugs.
Well lucky you, my hip's definitely broken, except I was the other way round, didn't want to say it was bad so didn't go to the hospital for 5 hours...besides the point aha, I'm glad you're feeling better :)
I have sprained both of my ankles in my life time and I got on crutches and no cast either. I had to wear my big walking boots for support ( that were my school shoes at that moment ) and had to cope like a normal human being would. Although it was extremely hard beginning to walk, I did do it with no support from anyone or anything. I did get some ankle therapy to strengthen them up a bit and they are now very strong. Now I am a very happy Abbie :)
That sucks :( A few months ago during PE I rolled my ankle over a soccer ball, spraining it, and I wore an Ace bandage for about a week and sat out of PE (while every day my teacher harassed me about it) and then when I could walk on it without it hurting too too much i stopped wearing the bandage and started PE again. Without any treatment or proper rest, it still hurts when I turn it inward. I'm not exactly sure how long it'll take to fully heal xD
I love the way the camera focused quickly onto the plants then back to you when you were talking about having to jump off your loft bed. Not sure if it was intentional or not!
I THINK YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE SO INSPIRE RING THEY HAVE HELPED ME TO COPE WITH DEPRESSION I AM NOT GOOD AT WRITING SO I CAN'T SAY ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS FOR YOU'RE VIDEOS
I THINK YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE SO INSPIRE RING THEY HAVE HELPED ME TO COPE WITH DEPRESSION I AM NOT GOOD AT WRITING SO I CAN'T SAY ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS FOR YOU'RE VIDEOS
I wanted to comment on how utterly stunning you look, but I don't want to appear as though I didn't appreciate the wonderful message of the video (because I really did). So a) I loved this video and its message, it's v important and I appreciate it, and b) I am a bit blown away by your gorgeousness here. I literally stared at your face the whole way through no lie
This is me at the moment. I have osteo necrosis in my toe (the bone's dead), but there is no proof on the outside. People think I'm over-reacting hobbling around on crutches... until I tell them there's a dead bone in my foot.
I have sprained my ankles tooooo many times, make sure you're elevating your foot every night when you go to sleep with some pillows, and wear loose shoes if you must wear shoes at all! I'm really good at hopping up stairs now as a result of my injuries
I'm using this for a school project (I'm giving you credit don't worry) because I really loved this little poem and I think I could write an essay about it (which is what I need to do so that's good). Glad you aren't hurt badly Doddie 💜
Earlier this year, I was playing competitive volleyball. We were in the finals of our tournament, and I came down from a block and turned, and immediately fell over. I had sprained my ankle. I assumed that I would be fine and dandy for the next tournament, but I wasn't, my doctor said I couldn't play for the rest of the season. I spent week after week on the bench, watching everyone else do the only thing I wanted to be doing. Now, its healed, but from time to time it still hurts. Last week as I was walking out of my voice lesson, i found myself on uneven ground, my ankle collapsed, and I fell, in the middle of the parking lot, alone. I was fine after a few minutes, but it reminded me that the damage, though I was no longer in constant pain was still there. I feel like this applied a lot to mental health as well.
I know how it feels when you're so hurt inside but nobody sees it or can understand why and attempts to explain it away as easily mendable. Depression/anxiety/ugh is something you have to live around and I know it's unpredictable and can come out of nowhere even after a sea of good days but everyone experiences peaks and troughs and things will not be engulfingly painful and terrible forever ❤
I recently really hurt my foot on a bike ride and had to stop cause I thought I was gonna puke and my friend just said "you're fine keep going lets go"
I also suffer from acute social anxiety and get told to get over it. Yanno.
I felt very poorly last week. I felt just how you said in your last video. I felt as if someone was about to kill me. or even someone was strangling me. this week however, my family is visiting. I feel SOOOOO much better. some people have that effect on you. never give up because things will get better.
I'd just like to say that i really like you, hope you get better, i used to be very depressed to and completly lost about everything, living in darkness but you know there's so much to experience yet.
I had the same case in a skiing accident, I had a rescue team and I was in so much pain but there was no proof, no break or bruise. I felt humiliated as I felt I was lying even though i was in so much pain.
She looks so good in this vid, so much better than she was the past couple weeks. I'm genuinely so very happy she pulled through. Keep singing, Dodes. :)
You are a pillar of strength that inspires so many people, Dodie, and I hope you know that! And I'm not saying that to make you feel some kind of weird pressure, but just so you know that you really do make people's lives BETTER. By sharing your struggle with so many who share the same struggles, that feeling of not being alone goes both ways! You're just the best and I hope you feel better soon <3
Today I hurt my ankle I passed out from the pain I thought that it was broken Turns out, it's just a sprain I don't get any grudges No bandages No bruise A slightly swollen lump Just Isn't enough proof If you were to feel it You'd expect it to be blue A mangled mess with a bone sticking out You'd call an ambulance too But, I'm smiling with my ice pack This sort of goes to show People can feel like they're on fire And you'd never really know
I have an ED and was only recently diagnosed because I waited till 18 so i wouldn't get my parents involved. Even so I've been having the behavior intensely since 13, and this poem homed in on how it can feel internally when things are going haywire with something you can't explain. But because you don't want to worry people you just smile or try and hide it the best you can, because you can't make them understand. When your world is crashing but to others it's something small. I don't even know what I'm trying to bring across other than I appreciate you and this poem and it's ending note, and I'm glad your feeling better than before. I wish you the best, and thank you for existing.
I suffer with mental health issues and I have had friends talk with me about it and they talked about how this is such a small problem in the population and I had to tell them it isn't in fact its a big problem. People are cleary too distracted to notice.
so glad to hear you are better!! you had everyone worried for a bit. on a side note you look SO different with your hair straight! i feel like it's been ages! i love it!!!
I completely understand that this was about mental illness, yet I related to it so much in a different way. I have a joint condition that causes me chronic pain. Every day is a struggle and I never know if one day it'll just be an annoying ache or I'll be bedridden from the agony. But guess what? I look FINE :)) I look like a normal 16 year old, a normal college student, a normal daughter, friend... I look 'normal' but I feel, like you said, absolutely on fire. But because I look ok, like there's nothing wrong with me, most people don't get it and I'm called selfish for being in bed all day or lazy for not wanting to go meet people in town. If they could feel what I feel every day of my life just for a few minutes they wouldn't be so quick to judge. So thank you Dodie. Thank you for writing this and spreading awareness that even if people look totally ok, inside they feel like they're dying. People just need to be open-minded and respectful to physical and mental conditions alike <3
I'm so glad you're doing better, Dodie, not just physically but mentally. It makes me happy when you're doing good (and it gives me hope for my own shitty mental situation). I love you, Dodie. I hope your foot heals soon lol... <3
DODIE! You could hang the plants off of strings, off the side of the upper bed, like swings. Off strings like swings. Rhymes with things. Like fiends and means. And mean fiends. A king's dreams means many things. Words are wings and blessings and playthings. Have a nice day, Dodie.
I ofter wonder what my friends think of me. I give of this friendly, funny, smiley demeanour but I am basically just putting that on a lot of the time. If I can tell myself that I'm happy, then it usually pushes through and I start to believe it but sometimes the sadness just rises to the surface when I'm alone. It sticks to me, what you said in your recent video 'I'm trying to fight it but how can you fight something with the thing that is fighting back'; I'm paraphrasing of course.... I'm fighting anyway :) I really enjoyed your poem x
I was watching dodies videos and after I watched this one I went outside and used my skateboard and I just got back from the hospital to learn I have a sprained ankle
A couple months ago I was walking through the school yard to my classroom, I stepped on something in attempt to jump because I was being loony. I wasn't alright. I convinced my self I was alright. I walked to my classroom and felt dizzy. I hit my head against a pole and fell on the floor. I got back up. I was about to crack my head open on a stairwell but a teacher caught me. I thought I actually broke my foot. It wasn't even a hairline fracture.
I almost blacked out when I twisted my ankle and sprained it -_- not really much but I remember my vision going out for one second. It was just like yours; when I took my boot off it was not my ankle! I got an "aircast" (really just a slightly inflated splint) and crutches tho. It is crazy how something so small and internal can mess you up BIG time, since you can't even walk. GREAT metaphors, I loved everything you said <3 also sorry to be off topic but your hair looks super mega cute btw :3
This relates to my foot so much though, I was being really stupid and I was rocking a table back and forth and then it fell on my foot, it’s just swollen but it feels like there’s a bone sticking out lol
I've recently only had panic attacks when I'm alone and I feel like people believe my anxiety is a lot better and idk man someone validate me like a ticket
One time me and my friend were at the park and, I have NOT a clue how to describe it but we were on this thing that looked like a huge metal umbrella but the thing that covers you from the rain is a metal fram that spins, so you hold on and spin from a bit of a height. I decided it would be a good idea to do this with my back to the pole spinning facing outwards,now, my friend pushed me to fast and couldn't slow me down PLUS you can't see the ground, so I just let go whilst spinning and land on my back, hear a crack and then lie down and cannot for the life of me move. I was screaming and crying in pain and passed out more than 3 times. There was an older man in the park who tried to help and kept an eye out for my mother who we rung to pick us up. When she finally arrived she made me get up and I couldn't breathe from the pain I was in, sit in a car with a aloot of speed bumps during the journey and took me home then made me go to school the next day. Worst. Day. Ever. Lol
I tried to direct message Dodie to talk about mental wellbeing, and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can talk to her... Just confused and feel comfortable reaching out to her
Your hair 😍😍😍 it looks so different like this you look like a whole new person I don't understand my strawberry cream puff looks beautiful with curly and straight hair you look so grown up like you could have a child and not accidentally kill it you look amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I relate to this soooo much.. I have snapping hip syndrome hashimotos and scoliosis so im not comfortable standing up for a long time but its not visable.. And when your diagnosis is invisable people dont care..
I sprained my ankle a few months ago and the swelling and bruising was so bad that the physical trainers for my school ( I play soccer) made me get a x-Ray to make sure it was not broken
I'm actually in a cast right now because 4 weeks ago I broke my foot and I didn't cry so no one believed I was in pain and when I said it hurt they were like but you can walk on it and it doesn't look that bad and they made fun of me when I said it hurt or I limped and they didn't take me to the doctor for a week and I think this shows a lot about human nature and how we don't believe someone unless they show they're in pain but we also make fun of them when they do
I had an operation on my ankle to put on a frame with pins through my ankle and through every doctors appointment, hospital visits people still assumed it was about my ankle. if I was acting differently it was because of my leg and nothing else. aaaaa sorry that's random, great video ily
This is completely irrelevant to the video, but I don't want to make a comment about experiences I've never had or lie about it being relatable, so I just want to say that Dodie looks like a beautiful, flowy, fairy princess here and I hope that you'll be able to treat yourself like one soon <3
So many people in the comments section have said what I think. I won't repeat it other than to say you are fab. You are a spectacular young lady. An inspiration to a lot of people. Including 34 year old gits like me!
Last year in gym class I sprained my ankle, and the gym teacher told me to go walk to the nurse. I told him I couldn't walk on it, he said take your time. All the nurse gave me was ice, and I had 2 hours left of school. I limped around the school and eventually made it home. My mom told me it wasn't sprained even though I couldn't walk on it. She was finally convinced when it was swollen and bruised
Today I hurt my ankle. I passed out from the pain. I thought that it was broken. Turns out it's just a sprain. I don't get any crutches. No bandages no bruise. A slightly swollen lump just isn't enough proof. If you were to feel it you'd expect it to be blue. A mangled mess with a bone sticking out! You'd call and ambulance too. But I'm smiling with my ice pack. This sort of goes to show.
I wouldn't say you're "Back" you're just more comfortable being a person, you didn't go anywhere. I'm glad you're feeling better. Hobble around and get up to some trouble now that you're feeling better again!
I hate feet, but I love this! (Guess its cus it's not really about feet....haha!) But I relate a lot to this, both from my own personal struggles with mental health and from those of a close friend. This friend is loud, popular, confident and the last person you'd expect to have mental issues, but she struggles a lot with them, and its sad to see her when she's at her worst, but those bad times we've been through make the good times even more beautiful. I don't really know where I'm going with this...I guess I'm just thinking out loud....basically this was great, love you Dodes lalala bye xx
she's such a babe. Literally the nicest person I've ever met (I haven't met her though, even though it feels like I have, I haven't) but she cares about everyone even if she hasn't met them or not. Seriously what a babe.
I had a nasty bike accident on the very last day of finals week, at an awfully constructed bike circle (it was really an ellipse) literally a couple hundred feet from my dorm, right before the winter holidays (it was my first year at uni - what an awful end to the term and the beginning of Christmas). I thought I had sprained my ankle, because my ankle was just sore and swollen and I couldn't walk. Turns out, I broke my fibula and shifted a couple bones in my ankle, which required surgery and the insertion of screws (cringe). The few days after surgery were incredibly painful (it was my first major surgery). I felt like my foot was literally on fire, and my calf constantly itched from the cotton lining of the cast. I have since had the screws removed, but my foot is always slightly numb and stiff. Apparently, a nerve in my foot suffered some trauma during the surgery. I have no clue how long the numbness is going to last; the screws were removed about three months ago, and my foot hasn't been the same since.
If you have read my long story, I commend you. And Dodie, I wish you a speedy recovery!
When I got a sprained ankle it turned out to be a stress factor and there's a hole in my bone. I had to be in a boot for 3 weeks and crutches for 3 weeks before that. So... good luck.
I sprained my ankle(a football was coming and when I kicked it, my foot landed on it rolling my foot and apparently doing the superwoman pose while doing it:P) and I've got a permanent lump on my foot from it and a&e didn't give me crutches and PE teacher hates me even more(even though it was about a year ago) and every time I tried to walk on it it felt like an electric shock and pins and needles up my leg. From my incident I lightly sprained my other ankle and with the one before, as it wasn't really that healed- after about a year, I sprained it again and nobody believed me. So in the last 2 years I've sprained my ankle(s) 3 times. yay!:)
I know this was about like mental health and everything but I have a pain syndrome that makes most things hurt. I have spots on my body that if theyre touched my nerves overwork and cause so much pain and it just lasts forever. Im in constant pain essentially even when i havent been touched or anything , especially when im overactive and stuff which rly sucks cause im 16 and all my friends wanna go out and explore and do things but if I do too much i just feel like dying. And when I tell people that i need to sit down or go back home cause im in pain they just don't believe me and I feel like I should just put up with the pain and not tell anyone. I just really connected to the line here you said theres a lot more people in pain than you might think. i know this was supposed to be about mental illness, i know this was supposed to be about mental illness (which I also do suffer from) and I don't wanna take away from that but this video just gave me some comfort because pain is not always in the form of a broken arm or leg or something and I'm glad someone said it :) ily dodie
I have a disability called hypermobility that you can't see and it really hurts to walk but literally nobody outside my CLOSE family believe me (not even my friends). It is hard because I can't keep up to them all the time when we are shopping or walking to school so I'm generally left out because I can't go as fast as they can.
this was so good omg, hey wait will you be doing VEDA this year??? Ngl I've been looking forward to it bc last years August Veda was so good and I just can't get enough dodie yno
please remember this goes for all invisible illness, not just mental illness. We often separate physical and mental illness into two totally different things, but I assure you, invisible physical illness is met with just as much ignorance as mental illness is. This isn't meant to be aggressive btw! I know dodie has only struggled with mental stuff so she's just speaking about her personal experience, but I just wanted to bring up the other side of it as well.
dodies wearing eyeliner again I didn't even notice until I watched it a second time. btw this video is so relatable leave it to dodie to make this metaphor
OHHH I know the sprained ankle drill. Hmm not fun. Although at least yours has a reasonable story, unlike mine, which reaches the limits of 'Well I was walking along a flat surface and then my foot went flat to the floor and my leg stayed straight.' The thrills..... And then I tried to walk back to school, which resulted in my friends becoming crutches. I got an x-Ray though, and a pair of crutches for a week, but for the pain I don't think it was really worth it. It's still kinda stiff and weird even though it was 9 months ago. I'm so good at injuries with no real cause. Moral of this story: Don't walk.
so today in pe i fell over (whilst attempting to play netball) and i think i may have sprained my ankle? it's bruised and swollen and rlly sorta painful but i've been walking around on it all day oops lmao. anyway at least the upside is that now dodie is even more #relatable to me :))
Invisible illness and mental illness are incredibly difficult to manage. Just because you can't see my pain, just because I'm not using a mobility aid, doesn't mean it's not difficult for me to get around. I have a connective tissue disorder, which actually means that I sprain very easily (among so many other things). I sprained my ankle earlier this year and it hurts like absolute hell! I was sure it was broken - how could I be in this much pain, unable to put any weight on it, and have it be 'just a sprain'? Such an important message, Dodie. Thanks for spreading awareness about invisible illnesses! x
You were like an angel at the end with all dat whitenesss. I relate to your foot. A few years ago I was at kingswood, for a week with my school, and there was this idiotic group of people in the dorm next to me, and thought it would be funny to set the fire alarm off in the early hours of the morning :/ The fire bell happened to be right above me, alas I sat straight up on my bunk, slammed my head into it, jumped off the bed over my friend and sprained my ankle. Why I'm telling you this, Idek
Does anyone else with eds relate to this! Invisible pain is the worst and I wouldn't wish it on anyone "Just because you hear hoofs don't just think horses because zebras do exist"
Please remember never judge people by age im 11 and have more go on in my life than my 83 year old grandad. had something happen today please comment X if you agree xxx
I have weird thoughts too and music really helps! U should listen to truce by twenty on pilots, it's beautiful and has an awesome message, hope u like it❤️
A girl I went to highschool with just killed herself recently. I didn't really know her at all. I just saw her around and built up this image of her in my head where she had a perfect life and no real problems. But just this past week, two years after we graduated, she killed herself. Just goes to show. People can be in alot of pain without others ever really knowing.
Hey, I suffer from depression. Or at least, I think. And I think that can't be anything else. I was waiting waiting waiting to feel better, I was trying do stuff that I like and go out and stuff to feel better again in my life and in my head. Wasn't enough obviously. So I was getting bad, so bad... And last Sunday, I didn't had other solution than going to a psychiatric hospital, I talked to a nurse, and then a doctor. Now I am feeling a little better, but only if I am not alone or with the internet. Then I have to go to kind of a psychologic center (in France it's a CMP : centre medico-psychologique). I really hope I am gonna be better, I want to be better.
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT VALID Correct, but as Thom Yorke says sometimes problem is totally different. JUST CAUSE YOU FEEL IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S THERE.
While I have luckily never sprained my foot I do have bursitis in my shoulder that often causes me pain.
I'd recommend google bursitis if you don't know what it is as I'd probably not explain it very well (to put it simply your body has things called bursa which are near muscles and stuff in your body. When you have bursitis this bursa is inflamed and moving your shoulder, knee etc is very hard and painful.)
As Dodie says just because you can't see that persons pain doesn't mean it isn't there or valid. I have had shoulder pain for the past 2 or more years and as it was something that people could physically see they would treat it differently to something visible they a burn or broken arm. (It is sad that the same can be said about mental illnesses too)
+doddleoddle ah i see, it's good you're doing a lot better now!! little by little I'm sure things will get better, I've read that it doesn't last forever, but still good to seek help
In the recommended for you section, there's a video about pain reliever for the balls of your foot. But it's not my foot that's in pain. It's my emotions.
I really hope it does get better and I guess it does because I mean it has for other people. I've been suffering with depression for 3 years now and I used to self harm a few times a week but recently I haven't really been doing it as much I've been clean for about a couple months twice but relapsed both times. Although I've been doing better I still don't really ever feel 100%. I can feel good for a little bit when I'm distracted by something I love (for example, I know it sounds stupid but TV shows because I just love escaping you know and pretending that these things are real because all the people in TV shows can actually feel like people I know and can relate to). But anyway I always go back to that sort of empty feeling but - and here's the cute part - I had a friend who once said to me they thought it would never get better and we were both in a kind of rubbish place but about a month later I asked them if they thought it'd ever get better and they said yes. I don't know if you think that's cute but it just makes me happy to know that people can go from that awful a place to that hopeful state in such a short time.
Also sorry it's so long, you probs don't want to read it, aha sorry.
Been there, done that, didn't get the t-shirt. Tore every ligament and tendon in my left ankle, while in the U.S. Army. 0 out of 10, do not recommend. The upside, free medical for life. So, not all bad. Love you, Honey. Hope your back on your feet quickly.👍👍😘
oh dodie. today i sprained my neck and i couldn't move my head. i started crying and frantically texting my mom so that i could go to hospital. she said put a hot rag on it and lie down. it still hurt. i could barely move. when she got home she told me i was throwing a temper tantrum (aka me having a mental breakdown being immobile) and i should stop exaggerating the pain. expect, it's one of the most intense pains i've felt for a very long time. she said "it's only a sprain. stop complaining" and sure, a sprain is very small compared to severed limbs or being stabbed, but if it's really nothing then why is it so painful and unwanted? is this how everyone feels? painful an unwanted?
lol i sprained my ankle and passed out too- yesterday!!! i didnt call an ambulance tho and I had to walk around london the rest of the day to complete the 'monopoly board' challenge cause......i mean, it's the monopoly challenge. anyways im rambling i guess what im saying is i feel u. xxxx
OMG TOTES last year I sprained my ankle badly and I was like FUCK IT'S BROKEN IT'S REALLY BIG AND LOTS OF PAIN HALP and then the doctor was like lol yeah just a sprain
Okay. I knew what this would be about as soon as I heard it was a metaphor and I almost didn't watch the video. I did, but had to turn off half way through when you mention the video you uploaded on...your mental health. I can't even say the words. They are massively triggering to me and I start to panic as soon as I hear them. I couldn't watch your last video on it, and i had to distance myself from your twitter and instagram and snapchat until you stopped talking about it. I'm aware of how insensitive and selfish and silly that sounds, but I just can't cope with it. The only way I get through is by ignoring...stuff, and pushing it right to the back of my mind. And hearing other people talk about going through the same thing makes me..I can't. This comment has no point, I just had to ramble about it because I've been panicking since I clicked off the video, so I came back to write this down. I feel so guilty for missing your videos. Its the first time I've missed one in almost two years that I've been subscribed. I'm glad you seem to be feeling better. Luv you, sorry x
My mom has a migraine disorder meaning she's almost always in excruciating pain, but a lot of people don't believe her. It's hard enough just to get help from professional doctors, let alone sympathy from others. I have endometriosis, so I get cramps so horrible I often have to go to the hospital, and I also constantly have teachers and doctors and classmates telling me to suck it up and stop complaining. Invisible pain is really difficult to deal with. sorry about your ankle!!
Thank you so much for this Dodie. I feel like when I actually talked to someone about what I'm going through they didn't really understand it and it kind of shocked them. I'm too good at hiding what I'm feeling. Your videos help me be okay with what I'm feeling. Thank you so much <3
I actually have a grandmother who tried to commit suicide 3 times. She drinks, and then drinks. She has been to the hospital to many times. Rehab once or twice. All because her husband left her. This is how my grandfather died. She doesn't see two of her grandchildren, and one of he children anymore.
My dog attacked a woman, was labeled a dangerous dog and now we have to get rid of him. I love dogs, I love dogs with a lot of my heart. To see my childhood dog have to go, is painful. If we would keep him it would be over $500,000 to keep him. The lady also doesn't have insurance, because edge is from India.
School started and I nearly failed last year, I'm stressed out. I somehow ended up in Honours English and Honours Math. I need to stay on top of my grades.
I am questioning my sexuality, which is hard enough. I almost outed my friend, whose parents are homophobic, and came out for something I might not be. I saved it.
To top it off I play two instruments and play softball. That alone is enough, games every weekend. Band rehearsal every day, and jazz band.
Yet, I still smile. As if nothing was wrong. As if I have no problems. Almost like I don't care, I have no emotions. That's the problem. I laugh, smile, and do whatever to make other people happy or laugh. I don't share misery, I turn my misery into something happy. To make people laugh which makes me smile.
A poem about your foot, that is really about your foot... This is one of those symbolic things isn't it? Ahhhh I see, it's about communism isn't it? It's always communism when it's a subtextual thing.
Talk about people not being able to see pain. I have an invisible illness. I sometimes need a wheelchair. Pulling up in a disabled car parking spot gets me awful looks.
I actually think those plants are a great idea. but what if you put them up there when you wake up in the morning. it would be away to not go back to bed after you get out.
Kind of relatable but not really. We were at scout camp and we wee doing kiddie backs and me and my friend both had our camped rucksacks on and the are HEAVY. Now I'm quite a small, fragile light person, but, when I'm on top of my giant friend poppy... yeah. So basically she's scared of wasps and one flew onto her face. She panicked fell over in top of me and I think I can save us and our rucksacks by landing on my ankle. Yep. I twisted it and ' bruised my bone ' and I still had to be there for the next two days. Oh ad I also had a school drama performance that I had to do. So for like only 3 days I git to wear a boot on stage. ( yay ) and that's how my friend poppy had to carry me back to my tent
My anxiety is getting the better of me and I don't know what to do. I need help. I've tried counsellors and it didn't work. My mum doesn't really seem to understand. The only people who could get me through were my teachers. Now it's summer and obviously I can't see them or talk to them. Please help me. Dodie I doubt you will read with but if you do please just give me some advice or anything to help. I'm desperate. Please. I want to feel normal again.
I've had about five sprains, they are awful, they hurt as bad as a break. And the way they tell you to treat them is all wrong. Go to a physiotherapist if you can because they actually can not heal properly.
I love how open you are and how you talk about topics others might be scared or worried to speak of. I'm more than sure your words help people all the time. I know they have helped me think more about things. Your videos are always a joy and a pleasure. Thank you.
you look so pretty, dodie! love this look and love your honesty, openness and bravery!! hope your foot gets better soon and i hope you feel happy soon too!
You remind me so much of someone that left that I used to love so much(and still do) It Left me so broken and depressed til now. I guess thats why I just love your song 'sick of losing soulmates' so much. Hearing these things from you is really refreshing, It lets me know that im not alone and that people that get depressed or hurt, can still push on and live. Thank you doddie :)
I'm so glad you're feeling better! And I was just thinking "ooh, pretty cactuses.....but how does the whole bed thing work then, cause it would be a pain for me!" Hope your ankle heals fast! <3
You're such an inspiration to me, thank you for making videos. I'm so glad to hear that you're doing better mentally. So sorry about your ankle. My sister sprained her ankle last year and it took a few months to heal, but hopefully yours will heal up quicker. <3 Love you, Dodie.
Firstly i love this and i'm happy you're doing better mentally, secondly that totally sucks about your foot and i hope everything is okay, and thirdly your hair looked really nice in this vid <3 ^_^
you're so motivational, i can't get enough. i binge watch your videos for hours for inspiration. i love how you're so genuine, so real with all of your viewers and it's somewhat comforting. i hope to meet you one day, even though we live in different countries:( keep doing what you're doing, and i greatly appreciate the content you put out. love you dodie<3
When I watched your depression, anxiety and depersonalisation video I started to cry. Everything you said was everything I have been feeling for the past three years of my life. Feelings that have been completely bottled up until I began to think I was going mad. Seeing you being at ease from that time really helps and gives hope to others out there to speak out and seek help. You really are a lovely person. Hope your ankle gets better soon! x :D
Dodie 💕 Yes! This is amazing! Thank you so much 💖 As someone with multiple chronic illnesses which are invisible, people often discredit my pain because they can't see it. Having a heart condition, and a neurological condition is debilitating, but because I don't wear a cast, or use crutches or can put a Micky Mouse plaster over my injury people can't understand that there's something wrong, simply because they can't see it. So thank you so much for posting this for such a wide audience to see, and helping to educate people and spread awareness of invisible illnesses 💕
Such a beautiful poem. It is so true! It's easy to understand/ focus on our own personal problems because we understand the depths of them and know what they are, but we forget that other people are going through their own issues too. Great reminder <3
Dodie it makes me so so happy that mentally you're starting to feel better. You are so so brave, I love you a lot and I really hope your foot gets better soon <3
I just wanted to say thank you for being open about these kind of things. When you don't really feel quite there t can feel a bit lonely but it's a nice thing to hear creative, kind and genuine people who you admire talk about these things. I met you two years ago at one of Bry's shows in Ireland and you were very kind and just generally really positive to the people you met. It's comforting to know that real people who can make people happy are going through the same things as you are . I wish you the absolute best in your mental health, I'm glad to see you feel a bit better. On a less deep note I also hope your foot feels better soon!
i love this and your recently more vulnerable vids, dodie. it's nice to feel like you have someone who might not be able to pull me out of a deep well, but who will come sit with me at the bottom and have a chat...that's what these vids seem like for me <3
I loved your poem, you managed to articulate what I feel every day in such a cohesive and attractive way. I often feel like my pain is less valid if there is no outward sign of it be it bruises, injuries or cuts. As someone who plays rugby I think that also helped to reinforce it thinking that if I could still walk or the bruise wasn't that bad then I was being a wimp and should get on with it. Now that you've said it as well I feel like it's okay to feel like that now. I'm not the only one who feels that, thank you for sharing it means so much.
Dodie I simply love your openness while doing videos even when it's scripted you're just truthful and genuine. Quick question. Why are the flowers still on the ladder. I know aesthetic are important but really 😂. I hope you're leg feels better soon. You're really are a inspiration to me. You're always so genuine and kind and adorable. I understand the brain thing and you described it perfectly it feels lovely to know that I'm not alone. Sending lots of love
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH because I've suffered with major chronic pain in my legs since i was 10 and my whole body since last year, and people can't see why I'm in pain. i also suffer from anxiety and stuff too so it works in that sense. hope your ankle gets better soon!!❤
Aww you're like a lil penguin waddling around. I'm glad that you're doing better mentally and I hope you start getting better physically too. Stay safe you cute penguin!
thank you so much for this. your videos always make me less sad and lonely. needed this right now. nice to know you're getting better. good luck, you are amazing.
I am so glad that you feel like you're in a better place (I cannot relate to what you're going through, ankle and mentally) but I am so happy to hear you say that you're slowly on the mend❤️
I feel like you are honestly one of the most genuine people and I admire your words and songs and videos so much.. And you also look gorgeous here ❤️❤️
In so glad you're feeling a little better :3 I know this will sound weird and rude but knowing that other people feel the way I feel is very comforting. I don't want other to feel like this but knowing I'm not alone is so nice. Dodie, I went to a hospital for 8 days because I attempted to take my life and I watched your videos as often as I could while I was there because they made me feel safe and happy so thank you for helping me and so many other people. I hope everything is going well for you m8 <3
I think you've been really brave talking about these issues. Lord knows, there is precious little conversation about it at present in the public consciousness, at least so far that I've seen.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This video and your depression and anxiety video have helped me to show me that I am human. Other people share the same things as me and I am not alone. I may feel like I am alone at times but now I have people who suffer from the same diagnosis as me to look up to. And now all I have to say is… Thank you And I love you💞
Dodie your so open with us, it's amazing to see you be very comfortable and uncomfortable talking about this stuff with us. I glad to see that your mind is feeling a bit better, I can tell you that since your video on depression and anxiety I have probably gone deeper into my hole of depression and anxiety but your video still manage to keep spirits up. I hope your foot feels better. I wish I can met you one day and be able to tell you all of this in person. -Brenna ❤
I'm watching this on a hammock in Mexico on holiday! Love you so much you are sooo inspirational and I hope your ankle gets better soon! I sprained my ankle trampolining just before I moved schools and it sucks
i read your tweets this morning and felt a bit worried, glad you're okay and everything.Your last video was very helpfull because i'm suffering with some of the stuff and I loved how open and brave you were to share that things with us.
I'm so glad that you've decided to be open with us about whatever's going on with us. It really helps to know that someone I admire and look up to deals with her own things too, and that it's (very cliché line coming) okay not be okay. I've been a fan for around a ywar and I half now, and from what you've shared, I can relate to you a lot, which has made me love you even more than before. (which was already a lot) Every video you post is truly fantastic whether it's a fun 'not worth watching' type thing or something serious like the last video. It was great to wake up to one of your videos, either way, and I hope that you continue you to put out amazing content. ♡
Happy birthday to me! I didn't think you'd post a video today but instead I got two videos of you, and boy, am I happy. ❤ also I loved this, and even though the poem wasn't exactly a happy one, it makes me happy that you're starting to feel a bit better. keep doing things that make you happy, take time for yourself and remember your daily meditation. 😊
I sprained my ankle when I was seven and I was sobbing and it was so painful and all of the teachers thought that I was lying about it but NOPE I got an x-ray and it was extremely badly sprained. I know how you feel. Also, I'm so happy that you're feeling better mental health wise! 💙
I suffer with depression and anxiety and I don't know what to do anymore because I keep trying but I never get anywhere. Your videos have made me smile and I'm so thankful for that X
I respect you so much, your kindness and willingness to share, to help other is such a fantastic quality. Your videos legitimately brighten up my day. I have met you twice before and though both were short periods of time and I was so anxious that i barely said a word and may have came off distant but those memories will stick in my mind cause just seeing you smile next to me had me over the moon as you are one of my idols. I wish you all the best and that your ankle gets better Xx
that really is a great metaphor; it hurts so much you think you might die, and then someone tells you it's "just a sprain" and then you feel kind of bad for hurting so much, but it's still the same pain, you know, and it hurts even if... you know. it was good. good, dodie, thanks and get well asap <3
My bestfriend passed away from Hodgkins Lymphoma last November, the day after I found out that she was in love with me for over a year. I don't think i've ever felt pain on a level similar to what I did that week, and the pain is still just as bad. Your depression video really helped me, I have depression and anxiety and have been on medication and counselling for a few years now. But that video inspired me to get more help, so thank you. Invisible pain seems to be worse than obvious pain, but we are all always here for you Dodie. Love you lots xxx
I'm so happy that you feel better, and I hope one day I can feel better as well. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration to me. I actually want to try to get better now, which is pretty cool. Life can be pretty cool, I guess. :) (does anybody else feel like smiley faces are really sarcastic even if you're not trying to be)
This was really nice Dodie. I have chronic pain which (no big surprise) causes pretty severe depression. It is harder to reclaim my life because I will always be in pain, forever, until I die (Unless they invent bionic spines in my lifetime, I'm so ready for that!!). Not only is my spine invisibly on fire, but my brain is too. Your videos are a lovely thing to look forward to, thank you for talking about the real crap that some people are scared of. It matters.
The first thought that came to my mind whilst watching this (something that I could comment) was,Love ya Dodie! That sentence pretty much sums up what I wanted to say so I am going to leave this comment there.
Dodie how do you do this. You're so open with the world and make us all feel like we're you're friends. I find it hard to be this open with even my family let alone the world! I am so glad you're feeling a bit better, I know how tough it can be. I hope one day to be able to meet you and have a grand ole chat, I feel like we'd get along really well xx
Also as a makeup artist, I really want to do your makeup haha. I just love your eyes, they're so pretty! x
Dodie, your openness has really helped me open up to people close to me, like in the poem I tried to act normal but my anxiety felt and feels like it was ruining my life, I am now with the help of friends and family learning how to cope and now thanks to you I feel less of an outsider with my problems outside and in. My anxiety about what people think of me has gotten worse because I have a disability in my right hand and i always ended up with the anxiety of everything a million times worse. Now knowing it's not just me with anxiety and realizing I shouldn't care what others think has helped me become a better person from it, thank you dodie Clark :) and best wishes to your sprained ankle :^
Dodie you are such a doll. You are so genuine and sweet. Sometimes I just want to a great cup of tea with you and have a nice chat, and then I remember that I kind of live in Texas in America. Yikes. But I would just like you to know that we all adore you very much! And there are always nice people to hug, warm bubbly baths to take, and fluffy cats to pet when things aren't going right. Bye bye! P.s I would love to chat with you sometime :) -Madi <3
Thank you Dodie, you help a lot- how is it that you make people who you don't even know feel less alone?<3and also I've heard that sprains can often be more painful than breaks, so I do hope it feels better soon<3
God, Dodie, you are so genuine and pure and honest. I know you're not perfect, and that you're human like the rest of us, but you're just so wonderful for everything you are. I think I'm going to make more fan art of you since I've just got some new art supplies for my birthday. I've even made an Instagram now to put my artwork out there. You inspire me, Dodie. I've even been writing more songs since I started watch your videos. I never miss an upload! You're so special and important and wonderful. <3
I'm glad you are in a better headspace and I hope your foot feels better soon aswell. the way you did your hair and makeup in this video looks really nice I love it :) love you dodie
This reminded me of my cousin. She has a form of arthritis (I think?) but it has caused her a lot of trouble over the years, along with other medical conditions I think, however you wouldn't know to look at her - it's not a visible condition at all and I think she has had experiences in the past with people not taking her seriously as disabled, despite all the pain she goes through What's awesome though is that she is about to compete for Canada in the Paralympics :)
I hope everyday you have those little moments that make you feel your life is worth it, simply a great cup of tea or a eureka moment about where to safely but your cacti because my god dodie you are a beautiful a lot of people can't even imagine and I hope one day you'll have a whole day of just those little moments❤️🌟
i actually sprained my ankle a couple of days ago and now i'm looking at it in a much deep context bc no one took me seriously when i said i had hurt it.
"there are a lot more people in pain than you think" also applies to chronic physical pain as well. so many don't understand what it's like to have a chronic illness/invisible disability even thought it's purported to be less stigmatized than mental health. in general, I think the lesson here is to have more compassion for people.
My first thought was "why are the plants still there? Aesthetic isn't worth it!" 😂aww , I'm glad you're better! I'm also getting there now that my best friend is back in the country and I have somebody to talk to 😊
This is a brilliant message about mental health but it is a great message about physical pain and invisible illnesses as well. I am dealing with both so I know how both can make you feel this way and how much people are ignorant to invisible pain and mental health issues....
Being a person who cannot even open up about her mind to the closest people, it is really inspiring to see you do it so effortlessly ( which i know is not the case ). I really want to thank you to talk about issues like these in a ‘normal’ way. It makes me feel a little better.
this means a lot to me because I have hyper extension in my knees, which means they bend to far back, which hurts a lot. I used to play Gaelic football for my county and was doing really well but everyday after training I would sit on the couch in tears I was in that much pain. sometimes I couldn't even move for a full day afterwards. I got so many " oh it's just growing pains" "you'll grow out of it" it's unreal. ive played football since I was 6. that means I've been playing for 9 years. I had to give it up this year because the physio told me I had to because I was doing more damage than it was worth. this broke my heart and i don't play any other sport. my knees are still horrible and even going to a convention is a big risk because after an hour of walking/standing my knees are on fire. but because this isn't a "proper" illness I don't get treated any different. ive had PE teachers force me to run laps of the pitch because I've asked to sit out of doing the long jump because it jars my knees in the mist painful way possible. I also have a problem with my stomach that causes me to have crippling pains all the time but because the doctor cant put a name to it, it's not real. it's horrible and everyone just passes it off as "eating too much". there's days were I can't eat anything without suffering horrible pains or on some days being sick. anyway, the point of this is, just because someone " isn't sick" doesn't mean they're not in pain. ... 'nuff said
One day I hope I get to have a lovely chat with Dodie ( not that she's ever gonna come to Scotland), she's helped me through A LOT. I've had a hell of a lot of disasters these past two years and Dodie has been there for me when my own friends and family weren't. Whenever I heard her voice I felt happier, I felt like I finally had someone who would love me, for me. I thought of taking my own life at one point but I thought "no, Dodie wouldn't want this. She would want me to fight on". Dodie is living proof things get better, that you can do this. This year is MY year, I'm going to make sure, whenever I get the chance, I'm going to go and reach for my dreams (I wanna be a singer). I'm sorry for my rambling, pretty much I just wanted to thank Dodie for being the Angel she is and to tell you that things DO get better, you just have to keep fighting and stay alive to make sure you see it! Thank you so much Dodie, I hope your foot gets better!
I wanted to comment on your other video but I didn't really know what to say and I wasn't really sure how comfortable I was sharing super personal things about myself in a comments section with a bunch of random people. But you have been brave enough to talk openly and to really help people in doing so. Plus you are such a lovely person you seem to just attract lovely people as fans so I'm sure I'd be fine. I've struggled with depression and anxiety 'officially' for about 3 years and 'unofficially' for a good few years before that. I've hit the rock bottomest rock bottom twice. But I'm still here. Somehow. And some days I feel fine, I feel great, I feel happy even. I feel like I might be able to leave all this behind. Sometimes I'll be with my friends and just feel so empty. I know I should be happy but I just feel like I'm not even needed there. Still other days I can't even get out of bed. Other days everything just feels so huge and I feel so small and so alone and so unimportant. I have found that expressing those down times through art (a poem, a song, a drawing) can be very helpful in processing things but it won't really make it go away. I still feel down. A lot of times I go on youtube for my temporary happiness, because there are people on here that can still make me smile or laugh. You are one of those people, plus sometimes your songs make me feel less alone. I guess I still don't know what I'm saying and I'm rambling but the point is, I am incredibly proud of you for sharing with us and I thank you for it as well. You are such a beam of light to so many people, and I hope more than anything that you get to see that someday. (sorry for the little essay thats basically just a ramble)
I'm really sorry about you ankle. At my first year at a new school, on the first day of soccer (or football), I stepped on a soccer bell and sprained my ankle. Then, i had to hop across campus to get back from the Gym to my 5th grade building. (This was years ago). I'm glad you feel better! ❤💙💜
you look lovely. i hope feel as lovely as you look. feel as lovely as everyone thinks you are. I'm not religious but I'm going to try praying for you partly because I can't relate to what's happened to you and I've not experienced something that awful, and partly because a small part of me hopes someone might do it for me one day, like some kind of luck-karma-belief thing. if theres anyone out there then fucking hear me please yep thanks
1 I hope your foot gets better soon. 2 I'm glad your brain is feeling a lil better. 3 your loft bed is so aesthetic but maybe the plants aren't that practical? They look super cute tho. 4 you look so pretty in this, teach me your ways.
Crazy that you can even consider called an ambulance for a broken foot in the UK. In the US I wouldn't risk that kind of bill unless I was literally dying
I've felt so weird lately. I'll have an amazing day, spend time with friends and family, I'll be happy. Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason I feel so so sad; nothing I do helps when I start to feel like this. Any advice or information would be much appreciated, I'm too scared to google about it.
Lol I feel ridiculous cause while everyone else was relating with their really serious and insightful stories about their own depression, I'm relating to my experience with... my sprained ankle. As funny as it sounds I had a sprain that actually lasted for like 4 months and then I reinjured it a bunch of times. It was only a sprain but it put me in such a shitty position cause I play soccer and was in between teams. And that sounds kinda insignificant, but I definitely think it translates to people shrugging off more serious problems when you open up about them. Anyway I loved the video and I liked the metaphor, please keep inspiring people and being so strong and beautiful. I hope you keep feeling better : )
This sadly represents the still present stigma against mental health and how unless you are physically in need of aid your health is not considered as much of a priority. Really sad 😢😢 Shout out to those with anxiety called 'crybaby's' or those with depression called 'lazy' and to just 'be happy'. Mental health is just as valid as physical health and those who think otherwise are just ignorant and selfish. You wouldn't doubt someone if they said they had a broken leg for a second so why is it not the same with a mental disorder?
Just adding on the the pain of a hurt ankle i tripped and my ankle hurt for over two months after that... Nothing was done about the pain i was just told i was making up the pain and a couple friends made fun of me for how long it hurt and said i was looking for attention. A lot of people DO hurt and dont show any signs of it. anytime anyone hurts just comfort them plz to anyone reading
once, I was drinking water and I stupidly laughed and i inhaled some water and I wasn't able to breathe so i jumped up and ran into my mom's room while crying bc i was terrified bc i couldn't get air in or out. Eventually i coughed out all the water but it hurt to breathe and I couldn't talk for a while, but everyone in my family just said that the water went down the wrong way and that i was being over dramatic. And I have swallowed water the wrong way before, but it wasn't nearly as bad. I couldn't breathe at all, but no one believed me. not even my mom.
+ItsQuinlyn nO OMG THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME and everyone was like lmao over dramatic much bUT DUDE I know exactly how it feels, like you can't breathe - choking on water, as weird as that sounds? It's terrifying!
The fact that so many people open up to you is just another sign that none of us are alone. It often feels that way because we don't here others talking about their own struggles, but everyone struggles with something difficult in their life wether it's the loss of a loved one, or just being sad for no reason, everyone experiences pain. It sounds very sad but when you think about it that's just what makes us human. Being sad isn't fun, but neither would being happy if it wasn't for the dark times throughout our lives. It sounds really cheesy but it is so true and I know you are sad about all the messages Dodie, but just try to remember that all those people will be even better people when they come out of it. Also try to remember that the reason so many people open up to you is because you make people realize that they are like this and that they need professional help. You actually help people. I'm just jumbling my words now but I think you get the point.
Can someone put the poem in the comments or a link to the poem because I wanna send it to my crush with "~Dodie Clark" at the end and see what she thinks about how fucking creative you are and how amazing and realistic and amazing and not to mention A HOT DAMN PIECE OF ASS
OMG you look like a literal cartoon character in that thumbnail. But like in a good way. You look like a really fab cartoon character with feelings and brains 'n' stuff.
every day I try being normal is hard I eat and sleep and breathe but I vary on the first part if I eat too much my body tells me no I head into the bathroom and back up it goes food is like a tyrant slowly taking over my life my wrists are clean now. smooth. I've given up the knife instead I choke myself and have a silent battle with the enemy they say eat healthy and you'll be fine but my fat disagrees so here I am under a blanket of words hurtful words said by mean people under a mask a mask that hides the pain anger and tears here I am bulimic
Where a lot of channels are about fake people being fake, nasty people being nasty and negative people being negative, there are channels like these who are just about human being human.
you're so amazing and talented. this is such a beautiful metaphor. we all love you dodie. also i love your makeup and hair! also yeah i broke my foot last year and i didnt feel the pain for 25 minutes. i sobbed and sobbed for like 15 minutes after that. it was the exact opposite. you could show no signs of pain but be in a LOT of pain nevertheless. i love your videos !!!
Dodie, thank you so much for making such good, meaningful and relatable content. Sometimes I feel really lonely and your videos lift me up. Get well soon <3
Dodie, thank you so much for making such good, meaningful and relatable content. Sometimes I feel really lonely and your videos lift me up. Get well soon <3
I'm so glad you feel better, beyond happy. I've been going through such a rough messy emotional time recently and I don't know why, but this video is really inspiring. I'm feeling better today, maybe because I get to see someone I care deeply about and I know I will feel better. Love you Dodie <3
Thank you so much. This is honestly perfect timing as my mom had just found out about my depression and/or anxiety and she's going to soon get me some help. I just wanna thank you because you make me smile when not much else can and just feel great. (Good luck with your foot)
I really needed a vid from you today ❤ thank you for making a crappy day so much better. You always calm me down and cheer me up. You inspire me so much and remind me it's ok to feel down sometimes. Ily Dodie ❤
dodie, you're amazing. you are such an inspiration to me, both musically and as a person. not to mention you're gorgeous. i'm so glad your brain is doing better, though it sucks about your foot. anyways, you're lovely dodie, you're so damn great. and i doubt you'll see this, but i love you. thank you for being you. ❤
You are such a brilliant and kind human <3 Hoping for a quick recovery on your ankle and I hope you have an amazing and lovely day, week, month, lifetime (all of the above) ^-^
I can relate so much to your poem because everytime I mention to my friends that I feel like crap they brush it off as if it was only a bad day. Somehow I feel a lot better just by someone else knowing how that feels like. Thank you Dodie. 💜 By the way that lip colour looks fantastic on you as well as your hair does when it's straight.👌
as lonely as I feel currently. I'm going to try to remember that I'm never alone. thank you 💕 i hope you remember that we are all with you as well. love you dodie
So good! It describes mental illness so well omg it feels bitter sweet to be understood, but at the end we know we are not alone. I'm so proud of you for resisting. I'm a bean with anxiety and it's hard to find a way out sometimes, you help so much and you deserve to be understood Lots of love from italy babeee hope your foot is a strong as you lol
I read your tweets and stuff about what happened and then you made this freaking amazing metaphor about it and just yes. I hope you feel better soon. Also your make up is on fleek, just wanted to get that out there.
I'm really glad your doing better, when you uploaded your depression, anxiety and depersonalization video I was in horrible place and I just felt really alone and like no one got it and then I watched your video and I was like "okay i cant just wallow like this anymore" so i went and got myself some help and its done alot of good, so thank you so much
I love this so much 💕 it's so true that people can be ill or in pain and no one could know. My mum has had MS for about 7 years and to anyone who didn't know she looks perfectly fine. The annoying thing is though when people presume she is perfectly fine like once we were parking in a disabled space (she has a blue badge as her legs get really tired and sore) and someone shouted at her for taking up a space when she wasn't disabled. I think more people need to see this video as it shows people can look perfectly fine but still be ill or in pain ❤️ hope you're feeling better and that your ankles okay Dodie xx
I've recently also had very similar thoughts about how so many people are in pain but you can't tell just by looking at them. I realized this after a longer episode of depression (2 weeks straight). Again, you always make me so happy Dodie, because I relate to you and you are so honest about things that not many talk about❤️❤️❤️
I. Love. You. everything you do, everything you say, everything you stand for, i love. it hurts that i will probably never meet you and tell you how much you have impacted my life, but that doesnt change the fact you have impacted it all the same. so thank you, Dorothy Clark. thank you for being an inspiration to me to look for the high points in life, where there are so many people who drag me to the lows. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I did the same yesterday Dodie, it's sprained aswell, no crutches either! I relate to this poem in so many ways!!!!!! I think it has a lot to do with depression and anxiety aswell! Love you Dodie! Thanks for this!<3
I was just talking to my mom and you tweeted 'suprise' so I was like 'asksjska' and she was like 'what the hell is wrong with you' lolol anyway, I hope your ankle gets better soon 💘 and I'm glad you're doing better :-) x
Dodie, this is an incredibly creative way of talking about mental problems - you are so clever and thoughtful. You have no idea how grateful I am that you make videos, I don't know who I would be without them because you always make such wonderful and helpful pieces of work. Thank you <3
i know this wasn't really about your foot, but make sure not to over work yourself even though you can walk. i've sprained my ankle three times (i think?) and i know how much it hurts so sending all the healthy healing energy towards you :) love you <3
like the weird girl I am, I wrote a poem that had the same point. I was on fire but people are made out of mostly water, so for them I was just fine. Dodie you are god, and the rain you make, makes me feel much better♥ love ya
I'm really glad you're feeling better, did therapy work? -Also that's why it's very important to treat people nicely all the time, they might be going through some rough stuff and words could have a much bigger impact in them (:
Love the waddling toward the camera at the end, could be a new dance "the Dodie sprained foot shuffle". (sorry to make fun, but I've had so many running injuries like that I have my own personalized crutches)
I often find that hitting rock bottom is the best thing to motivate me to feel better, which I do find comforting while I'm down. Hunger makes you eat, stress makes you get things done, boredom makes you try new things, and a crippling sense of complete hopelessness makes you look after your mental health.
My dad checked himself into the hospital a few days ago. He's a war veteran, and already has PTSD and depression. His dad also died last year around this time. He's so sad, and I wish I could make him feel better. But I know how depression works, and I know that it's hard to feel better when you have all those waves crashing down on you. I've been through it a lot before. But I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now! I always look forward to your videos and this one is so thoughtful and spot-on. By the way, your hair is very nice :)
Dodie make sure it is a sprain make sure they have checked those x rays my mum did the same to her foot she got told it was a sprain . two weeks later turns out she had actually broke it she still struggles after 10 years and 8 operations on it she might be having her leg amputated knee down soon .just make sure I don't want you to end up in the same situation
Recently I've been having really bad head aches, to the point where I feel like I'm dying. People tell me to just shake it off and get out of bed but I can't even walk bc of the pain?? So yeah, people might be in pain and you might not even notice.
Dodie, i don't know if you'll have the time to reply but i know you read your comments and thought i should tell you this. Yesterday, i had a pretty weird dream, and you were in it. You were crying because you had hit the lowest point in your life and thought you'd never get back up and i stayed with you, and in you, i saw all my friends and relatives who seek happy but are in an invisible pain. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone, and when i woke up today, i talked to many friends and helped them feel better (i even convinced one to start therapy because of their mental health problems). Thank you for making me realize that in many cases, suffering can be invisible. You're making me a better person. 💙
You (300k subs on this channel) and cutiepiemarzia (6m subs) released a vid at the same time and they grew at the same rate: Likes, dislikes and views up to 6k views. HOW COOL IS THAT!
Seriously tho let's try to make it happen. Don't bother tweeting dan and phil, you'll get lost in other tweets, but dodie reads some tweets and comments sooo....
+Emma Steffes it could be om her channel and then on their channels they could do something that fits their brand more. Dean has been on Dodie's channel and joined her style :) Dan and Phil can do it too
+4everFinnick.CFBeautiful I would love to see dan and Phil singing and playing piano with Dodie but can you really see Dan Howell who made a roast yourself challenge like that singing a cute fluffy song? I feel like dan especially would be uncomfortable singing in a video and spamming him with tweets wouldn't do it
@Sophia Edelstein yes, i know :) they all are. but dan and phil's videos are starting to feel fake, imo, and i feel that the phandom doesn't need to be infiltrating everywhere, even the phandom knows the phandom is often cringey. i just don't think it's a very good idea, and i also feel it's kind of annoying people being like 'you should do this', 'you should do that', etc. and also mentioning phan is an instant way to get likes, i just don't like this kind of thing. didn't mean to ramble this much, sorry!
+isabel I don't think their videos are starting to feel fake...I'm in the phandom and I love dan and phil! and the fact that they're everywhere almost makes it cooler because I see people that love the people I love too! I don't think their videos are becoming cringey, they're funny
+isabel i definitely see where your coming from! Some of theyre videos are a little extra but i still think they're videos are great. and yES i know the phandom is annoying oml 😂😂
Your plants look so pretty but they seriously need to be in pots with drainage cause they're succulents and they shouldn't be submerged in water in such a way
I've suffered from a chronic illness which is invisible and it sucks because you look fine but feel like shit and people think you're faking it because "if you were I'll you'd look it"
My best friend told me something once that really stuck with me, "Everyone has pain, and everyone thinks that their pain is worse than everyone else's."

The point of this statement, is that your pain is important to you, but to others, their pain is important to them. That's not to say your pain isn't important, more so that, whenever possible, one should try to consider what other people are going through.

3 likesI have sometimes wondered if I have been close to having a mental illness or considered if I have, and the only thing that makes me think I don't is that it would make all those people who actually do suffer from one (or more), like it would be trivialising their experience, and almost stealing the limelight. I'm pretty sure I have a 'mild' one, or at least I have in the past, but I'm kinda in that limbo stage where I know it's not as serious or life-threatening than most, but it's more than being "normal".
But yes, I think we can't get enough of the sharing, reducing the stigma is very important. :)

1 likeIs anxiety often considered a mental illness? Because I have it but I'm not really sure if I can outright say that I have a mental illness because a) i'm not sure it is one and b) i also feel like that would be like downplaying what 'mental illness' really is...
0 likesThis comment makes me happy because it's so rare to find someone who has never experienced the pain of a mental illness but actually can sympathise with someone who has. I thank you for that
2 likes+Emma Mittleider anxiety certainly counts as a mental illness. A mental illness is anything that interferes with your daily life (not an official definition), and for most people anxiety does that. And as far as downplaying the term, how else would you define what it "really is"?
6 likes@Vidisha Jha I'm not really sure, just things like OCD, bipolar disorder, etc.. I'm not sure exactly lol but thanks for helping! <3

0 likesSprains often hurt much worse than brakes. Lol and I'm sure there's a metaphor for life in that, too (something about how big/obvious problems- even when really bad--are easier to deal with than the quiet/ small ones we keep to ourselves. Moral: always talk about things and seek help, even if maybe it's just a sprain. It still hurts. ?) anyway your hair looked so lovely in this💕

4 likesA Poem about a Cake (that isn't Really about a Cake)
120 likesToday I made a cake.
Or at the very least I tried,
Despite my lack of skill with things you need to bake.
If I told you it worked then I would've lied.
Out the oven it came,
Broken, bruised and cracked.
It seemed to taunt my name,
Reminding me of all the thing I lacked.
Ability to bake, people skills,
Beauty, happiness, loyalty, trust, someone important to be..
So maybe, the voice says, just swallow those pills.
I stood still while these words sank into me.
I then sat on the floor crying,
As the voices in my head took the form of a cake.
I cried because I knew they weren't lying.
All thanks to my inability to bake.
I suffer from anxiety and my new doctor suggested I write the first thing in my mind after a panic attack. I've taken inspiration from this and wrote this poem today.
If you ever read this Dodie just know we're all so proud of you and we'll always support you.

58 likesToday I hurt my ankle, I passed out from the pain
I thought that it was broken, turns out it's just a sprain
I don't get any crutches, no bandages, no bruise
A slightly swollen lump just isn't enough proof
If you were to feel it, you'd expect it to be blue
A mangled mess with a bone sticking out, you'd call an ambulance too
But I'm smiling with my ice pack, this sort of goes to show
People can feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know

0 likesI, too, sprained my ankle this week. I love you Dodes. (: Glad you're feeling okay. Maybe not better, but okay.
0 likesoh i'm so glad you're feeling better. at the time it always feels completely impossible, but once you've recovered once from a really low point i think it's easier (still hard but slightly easier) to remember that it's not the end of the world. hope you continue to feel much better, both your head and your ankle :)

0 likesThanks for uploading this video ❤ Thanks for letting us know you're feeling better ❤ Thanks for talking about recovery, bc it's very important!! I didn't believe in recovery because the people who told me it was possible to feel better didn't have the same problem as me, but when people who have been in the same situation tell their experiences and talk about recovery, it gives hope. Ily 😊
0 likesThank you for this Dodie. I needed a good cry anyways hah. I'm so glad you're feeling better. It pains me to see you sad, it really does. The best people go through such pain and I see it happen all the time. You didn't do anything to deserve it, I promise you.. remember that. The concept of the mind is just poop and everything is sad and meaningful underneath. There's a reason for everything, so I hope you're growing and appreciating where you've come from in your past of sadness. Because I know that my sadness has made me grow as a human and helped me become more understanding and reasonable. Because of my sadness, I was able to help another friend get help for hers because I understood that she was truly in pain, and I didn't brush it off like people did with me. I have also developed a love for things that I never would have in the past; creating art. And that's what you did with this video. You created a form of art for others to relate to and it helps people like me. So thank you

0 likesExcellent metaphor, Dodie. I've always believed that mental illness should be taken just as seriously as physical illness. Hope you're ok.
0 likesI remember first listening to this when it came out and I thought it was about how people can be hurt and not tell anyone so be careful around and be nice to people but now I know it's about a lot more than that
0 likesThank you so much for this. I have multiple chronic illnesses and they all impact on my life hugely, but I still don't look ill or in pain. Maybe a little pale and fatigued looking but that's all. And I have to say there is nothing worse than seeing people you haven't seen in a while and them tell you 'wow you look great' or 'wow you've lost weight, you're looking really good'. They would both be lovely compliments for a well person but when you spend your life going in and out of hospital and being told every time you see your doctor that you condition has got that little bit worse. That's when those 'compliments' hit you like a tonne of bricks. You start to think 'well if I look so well why do I feel this way' or 'they're basically telling me that I'm just faking it or its not as bad as I say'. I just wish more people knew that the majority of physical and mental illnesses are invisible and that you should trust in what people tell you.

Sad you're hurting physically. :(
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), recently diagnosed. I used to give 130%, now I start each day at most at 70% energy/brainpower. I haven't found a way to stop comparing my 70 to my previous 130, so whatever I do now never seems like enough. But eventually I'll realize I can only do max 70 and be happy if I do even 60 in a day :) Ok bye! :)
It's great to know your feeling better because mental pain is just as important as physical pain❤️

Dodie I loved this, as someone who suffers with unexplained physical pain after cancer treatment, and at times I feel really low as I've just found out I have epilepsy too - I'm so glad you're doing better and I hope I get to meet you at sitc

0 likesGlad you're feeling better! Hope your foot heals. And even if you get back to the dark place, I hope you remember that there's a way out. I'm going to bookmark this for the next time I have a hard time getting out of bed, because I don't always remember that there are others who feel the same way I do, and it's a very lonely place. Thanks for being so open and wonderful about this. <3 <3
0 likesI've been learning something similar as my dad passed away in February. It's insane how many people have said "oh wow I lost my mom last year" or "my dad died when I was in college too". So many people have this horrible invisible pain and it doesn't go away once your finished mourning. People go on with their lives and eventually they quit asking if you're ok even though the pain isn't over, it's just different. It really helps with loving people, though, once you know their pain. It's easy to have compassion when we share and listen with one another.

0 likesCan't say I comment on videos too often but aren't you looking just beautiful dodie! Especially after your ankle ordeal 😂 glad to hear you're feeling better. I can't imagine how scary it is to be so open and honest and vulnerable in front of your audience but talking about mental illnesses is the only way to stop the stigma surrounding them! I've found myself talking more and confiding in friends when I haven't really felt myself and although in the past I thought bottling everything up was my way of coping with things, I can't even explain to you how much better I feel for just talking and I really owe a thank you to you - for beginning the conversation and making me feel that little bit less alone in the world ✨💕🌞 stay wonderful and never stop what you do because you really do help more people than you even know x

I'm glad you're so open and ready to be vulnerable with your audience. It's 1, refreshing, and 2, reassuring to know that I'm not alone. (Speaking of not alone you should totally cover that song 😉😉)

0 likesthis just struck me so much, i remember seeing a quote once that said "everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. be kind. always." and that has stuck with me every single day of my life. you hear constantly "you never know what people are going through" but it's SO TRUE. a couple of months ago i found out that a close friend of mine had been suffering from severe depression and another from anxiety, and all the while i'd just assumed that their outward personality meant i knew everything about them. i promise that every single human has secrets and have had something happen to them, or are going through something or thinking something, that you would never ever guess, no matter how well you think you know them. thats why it is so important to be your kindest and to smile and make time for friends and make exceptions and be considerate. everyone is struggling and trying their best.

0 likesYES DODIE! As a volunteer in the ambulance service I have learned that pain is a very weird thing. It can be visable, invisable and sometimes questionable. You will never know what someone elses pain feels like, or even be able to liken it to something you have felt. All you gotta do to be an awesome friend is listen, be that shoulder and call the ambulance when it's needed. Hope your poorly foot feels better soon, and you are back to your lovely bouncy self.

Make sure to keep on doing whatever makes you smile or happy and stay positive. Know that if you ever feel alone that we will all be here to support you no matter what you do. x

0 likesThis reminds me of how when I was younger I thought most people were mentally and physically healthy, but when I got older I realized that's not the case at all. (And then I felt like "Duh, self, why do you think there are hospitals and health facilities everywhere??") Everybody is taking some kind of medicine or therapy for something or other and nobody is 100% healthy for the majority of their time. It's kind of a sad thing to think about but yeah, also it's like "well I'm not alone."

If anyone knows how to help me get through a rough time it's dodie. I am going through the same thing she went through and I honestly have been feeling really alone and scared. No one seems to understand and they'd always say "it's just stress, get some extra sleep" but it's not that simple and it is very comforting to know that I am not the only one and that I'm not going completely mad. Thank you dodie for talking about such important things and making the pain not hurt so much😊😊

0 likesI just subscribed to you, so I'm probably gonna go watch a load of your old videos now :)
I've never had someone word it that well; I suffer from chronic pain due to a condition that isn't visible.

After I actually talked to the people around me about what was going on I got in a really good head space, lost a lot of the extra weight, and I finished the year with a 3.4 GPA.

0 likesi was in a wheelchair for four or five months last year and from then to now ive been on crutches, and even then people still thought i was faking injury. i got bullied and teased even though if they had just seen my xray of a metal rod going through the bone in my leg and the multiple screws and seen my tears from the hours upon hours total of physical therapy, they would have known i would have never even WANTED to fake something like this. i was in such a pit of sadness and depression while in my wheelchair that i literally considered suicide. nobody should have to feel like that and nobody should ever have to be accused of faking anything, be it physical or mental illness. i couldnt prove to them my problems existed, but my paranoia was validated by their teasing, so now i feel like if i dont get better soon, it will never stop. i physically cannot walk without my crutches for long periods at this point in time as my entire body just ACHES. i really wish that ppl werent so ignorant

0 likesWhat??? You wrote a poem about me Dodie? That's so sweet!!
0 likes😂😚
i love the message you are sending! my mum has an illness called ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and i am her young carer, her illness is basically invisible apart from her limp and walking stick. it is many symptoms mixed together with added things like fibromyalgia and arthritis in the lower spine, but it is very difficult to see the illness when we are in public because the fact is that the only reason she is in public on those days is because she is having a good day. if you saw her bedridden on the bad days, which is like 5 of the 7 days in a week, you wouldn't be able to deny that something was wrong with her. and it annoys me that the kids at my school don't believe that i am her carer because they don't see me look after her. and lastly, she has to take a test when she needs to get a disabled badge and she recently was denied for one because they didn't believe she was ill enough. so you are completely right, Not All Pain And Illness Is Visible.

0 likesOne time I landed hard on my ankle during a track event. There was a loud crack and i was in so much pain. I went to the doctor and she asked me where the pain was. I gestured to around my ankle area bc basically the whole thing hurt and she instantly told me that it was not broken bc I would be able to pinpoint the pain. Didn't offer an x Ray, or even a brace. She said it'll be completely healed in 1 month, but here I am 4 months later and I can't wear heels anymore because of the pain, it's still swollen, and I can't run on it.

0 likesyou're looking lovely as usual :) i loved your poem xxx
0 likesI relate to this so much. Even in the literal sense. I got a grade 3 ankle sprain and I did need crutches because it was so bad, but when it happened, I was laughing and smiling because I didn't want to worry anyone. Like, I want people to understand that I am genuinely in pain, but I also don't like feeling vulnerable so I make it seem like it's not bad. The injury happened at school and my friends took me to the nurse's office, so I waited until I was all alone in the room to sob my eyes out. Then when I heard my friend come in, I wiped my eyes as fast as I could and told her my eyes were just red because I fell asleep. And like, my sister died recently and I never told anyone- not even my best friend. I hate making people feel uncomfortable so I hate bringing up things that make me sad or tribulations on my life.

0 likes35 seconds in and I'm already loving this video
0 likesI love Dodie's makeup in this video SO MUCH
1 likeI've had on again off again bouts of depression since middle school. I hit my rock bottom last summer and finally went to a therapist. I know that everyone's experience is different but I also know about locking the door and crying as you google symptoms and pull up endless pages trying to figure out why you don't feel like yourself anymore, why you don't have fun doing the things you used to love, why you're so numb and isolated when everything on the outside is fine. I went to therapy. I talked a lot. I learned a lot. I figured out how to be less hard on myself and how to take it one day at a time. I remembered why I'm here. And I'm lucky. For me it went away and I feel good now. It may come back, but if it does I know how to deal with it better. Watching you talk about your experience reminds me of where I was back then, and seeing you seek help and learn how to understand what you're feeling gives me so much hope. It doesn't get better overnight. It's a process. It's a lot of coping and pushing through and being thankful for the little things. It sounds weird to say I'm proud of someone I don't know but I am so proud of you Dodie.

0 likesI have sprained both of my ankles in my life time and I got on crutches and no cast either. I had to wear my big walking boots for support ( that were my school shoes at that moment ) and had to cope like a normal human being would. Although it was extremely hard beginning to walk, I did do it with no support from anyone or anything. I did get some ankle therapy to strengthen them up a bit and they are now very strong. Now I am a very happy Abbie :)

0 likesThat sucks :( A few months ago during PE I rolled my ankle over a soccer ball, spraining it, and I wore an Ace bandage for about a week and sat out of PE (while every day my teacher harassed me about it) and then when I could walk on it without it hurting too too much i stopped wearing the bandage and started PE again. Without any treatment or proper rest, it still hurts when I turn it inward. I'm not exactly sure how long it'll take to fully heal xD

0 likesI'm using this for a school project (I'm giving you credit don't worry) because I really loved this little poem and I think I could write an essay about it (which is what I need to do so that's good). Glad you aren't hurt badly Doddie 💜
0 likesEarlier this year, I was playing competitive volleyball. We were in the finals of our tournament, and I came down from a block and turned, and immediately fell over. I had sprained my ankle. I assumed that I would be fine and dandy for the next tournament, but I wasn't, my doctor said I couldn't play for the rest of the season. I spent week after week on the bench, watching everyone else do the only thing I wanted to be doing. Now, its healed, but from time to time it still hurts. Last week as I was walking out of my voice lesson, i found myself on uneven ground, my ankle collapsed, and I fell, in the middle of the parking lot, alone. I was fine after a few minutes, but it reminded me that the damage, though I was no longer in constant pain was still there. I feel like this applied a lot to mental health as well.
0 likesI know how it feels when you're so hurt inside but nobody sees it or can understand why and attempts to explain it away as easily mendable. Depression/anxiety/ugh is something you have to live around and I know it's unpredictable and can come out of nowhere even after a sea of good days but everyone experiences peaks and troughs and things will not be engulfingly painful and terrible forever ❤

1 likeToday I hurt my ankle
I passed out from the pain
I thought that it was broken
Turns out, it's just a sprain
I don't get any grudges
No bandages
No bruise
A slightly swollen lump
Just Isn't enough proof
If you were to feel it
You'd expect it to be blue
A mangled mess
with a bone sticking out
You'd call an ambulance too
But, I'm smiling with my ice pack
This sort of goes to show
People can feel like they're on fire
And you'd never really know

0 likesI have an ED and was only recently diagnosed because I waited till 18 so i wouldn't get my parents involved. Even so I've been having the behavior intensely since 13, and this poem homed in on how it can feel internally when things are going haywire with something you can't explain. But because you don't want to worry people you just smile or try and hide it the best you can, because you can't make them understand. When your world is crashing but to others it's something small. I don't even know what I'm trying to bring across other than I appreciate you and this poem and it's ending note, and I'm glad your feeling better than before. I wish you the best, and thank you for existing.

0 likesI completely understand that this was about mental illness, yet I related to it so much in a different way.
0 likesI have a joint condition that causes me chronic pain. Every day is a struggle and I never know if one day it'll just be an annoying ache or I'll be bedridden from the agony.
But guess what? I look FINE :)) I look like a normal 16 year old, a normal college student, a normal daughter, friend... I look 'normal' but I feel, like you said, absolutely on fire. But because I look ok, like there's nothing wrong with me, most people don't get it and I'm called selfish for being in bed all day or lazy for not wanting to go meet people in town. If they could feel what I feel every day of my life just for a few minutes they wouldn't be so quick to judge.
So thank you Dodie. Thank you for writing this and spreading awareness that even if people look totally ok, inside they feel like they're dying. People just need to be open-minded and respectful to physical and mental conditions alike <3

0 likesOne time me and my friend were at the park and, I have NOT a clue how to describe it but we were on this thing that looked like a huge metal umbrella but the thing that covers you from the rain is a metal fram that spins, so you hold on and spin from a bit of a height. I decided it would be a good idea to do this with my back to the pole spinning facing outwards,now, my friend pushed me to fast and couldn't slow me down PLUS you can't see the ground, so I just let go whilst spinning and land on my back, hear a crack and then lie down and cannot for the life of me move. I was screaming and crying in pain and passed out more than 3 times. There was an older man in the park who tried to help and kept an eye out for my mother who we rung to pick us up.

0 likesI had a nasty bike accident on the very last day of finals week, at an awfully constructed bike circle (it was really an ellipse) literally a couple hundred feet from my dorm, right before the winter holidays (it was my first year at uni - what an awful end to the term and the beginning of Christmas). I thought I had sprained my ankle, because my ankle was just sore and swollen and I couldn't walk. Turns out, I broke my fibula and shifted a couple bones in my ankle, which required surgery and the insertion of screws (cringe). The few days after surgery were incredibly painful (it was my first major surgery). I felt like my foot was literally on fire, and my calf constantly itched from the cotton lining of the cast. I have since had the screws removed, but my foot is always slightly numb and stiff. Apparently, a nerve in my foot suffered some trauma during the surgery. I have no clue how long the numbness is going to last; the screws were removed about three months ago, and my foot hasn't been the same since.
If you have read my long story, I commend you. And Dodie, I wish you a speedy recovery!

When I got a sprained ankle it turned out to be a stress factor and there's a hole in my bone. I had to be in a boot for 3 weeks and crutches for 3 weeks before that. So... good luck.

0 likesI REALLY needed this right now 😅
0 likesI know this was about like mental health and everything but I have a pain syndrome that makes most things hurt. I have spots on my body that if theyre touched my nerves overwork and cause so much pain and it just lasts forever. Im in constant pain essentially even when i havent been touched or anything , especially when im overactive and stuff which rly sucks cause im 16 and all my friends wanna go out and explore and do things but if I do too much i just feel like dying. And when I tell people that i need to sit down or go back home cause im in pain they just don't believe me and I feel like I should just put up with the pain and not tell anyone. I just really connected to the line here you said theres a lot more people in pain than you might think. i know this was supposed to be about mental illness, i know this was supposed to be about mental illness (which I also do suffer from) and I don't wanna take away from that but this video just gave me some comfort because pain is not always in the form of a broken arm or leg or something and I'm glad someone said it :) ily dodie

1 likeI have a disability called hypermobility that you can't see and it really hurts to walk but literally nobody outside my CLOSE family believe me (not even my friends). It is hard because I can't keep up to them all the time when we are shopping or walking to school so I'm generally left out because I can't go as fast as they can.

0 likesplease remember this goes for all invisible illness, not just mental illness. We often separate physical and mental illness into two totally different things, but I assure you, invisible physical illness is met with just as much ignorance as mental illness is. This isn't meant to be aggressive btw! I know dodie has only struggled with mental stuff so she's just speaking about her personal experience, but I just wanted to bring up the other side of it as well.

0 likesI never thought I could be so educated by a poem........about a foot.......
0 likesOHHH I know the sprained ankle drill. Hmm not fun. Although at least yours has a reasonable story, unlike mine, which reaches the limits of 'Well I was walking along a flat surface and then my foot went flat to the floor and my leg stayed straight.' The thrills..... And then I tried to walk back to school, which resulted in my friends becoming crutches. I got an x-Ray though, and a pair of crutches for a week, but for the pain I don't think it was really worth it. It's still kinda stiff and weird even though it was 9 months ago. I'm so good at injuries with no real cause. Moral of this story: Don't walk.

0 likesInvisible illness and mental illness are incredibly difficult to manage. Just because you can't see my pain, just because I'm not using a mobility aid, doesn't mean it's not difficult for me to get around. I have a connective tissue disorder, which actually means that I sprain very easily (among so many other things). I sprained my ankle earlier this year and it hurts like absolute hell! I was sure it was broken - how could I be in this much pain, unable to put any weight on it, and have it be 'just a sprain'? Such an important message, Dodie. Thanks for spreading awareness about invisible illnesses! x
0 likesYou were like an angel at the end with all dat whitenesss. I relate to your foot. A few years ago I was at kingswood, for a week with my school, and there was this idiotic group of people in the dorm next to me, and thought it would be funny to set the fire alarm off in the early hours of the morning :/ The fire bell happened to be right above me, alas I sat straight up on my bunk, slammed my head into it, jumped off the bed over my friend and sprained my ankle. Why I'm telling you this, Idek

A girl I went to highschool with just killed herself recently. I didn't really know her at all. I just saw her around and built up this image of her in my head where she had a perfect life and no real problems. But just this past week, two years after we graduated, she killed herself. Just goes to show. People can be in alot of pain without others ever really knowing.

0 likesHey, I suffer from depression. Or at least, I think. And I think that can't be anything else. I was waiting waiting waiting to feel better, I was trying do stuff that I like and go out and stuff to feel better again in my life and in my head. Wasn't enough obviously. So I was getting bad, so bad... And last Sunday, I didn't had other solution than going to a psychiatric hospital, I talked to a nurse, and then a doctor. Now I am feeling a little better, but only if I am not alone or with the internet. Then I have to go to kind of a psychologic center (in France it's a CMP : centre medico-psychologique). I really hope I am gonna be better, I want to be better.
0 likesgreat vid + message but also EYEBROWS ON POINT
0 likesJUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT VALID Correct, but as Thom Yorke says sometimes problem is totally different.

YOUR HAIR IS SO AMAZING
0 likesDodie could write a song about a bin bag that got stuck in a tree and I'd still like it
0 likesWhile I have luckily never sprained my foot I do have bursitis in my shoulder that often causes me pain.
0 likesI'd recommend google bursitis if you don't know what it is as I'd probably not explain it very well (to put it simply your body has things called bursa which are near muscles and stuff in your body. When you have bursitis this bursa is inflamed and moving your shoulder, knee etc is very hard and painful.)
As Dodie says just because you can't see that persons pain doesn't mean it isn't there or valid. I have had shoulder pain for the past 2 or more years and as it was something that people could physically see they would treat it differently to something visible they a burn or broken arm. (It is sad that the same can be said about mental illnesses too)
Side note, your hair is killing it today

0 likesOh dear! Get Well Soon!
0 likesI really hope it does get better and I guess it does because I mean it has for other people. I've been suffering with depression for 3 years now and I used to self harm a few times a week but recently I haven't really been doing it as much I've been clean for about a couple months twice but relapsed both times. Although I've been doing better I still don't really ever feel 100%. I can feel good for a little bit when I'm distracted by something I love (for example, I know it sounds stupid but TV shows because I just love escaping you know and pretending that these things are real because all the people in TV shows can actually feel like people I know and can relate to). But anyway I always go back to that sort of empty feeling but - and here's the cute part - I had a friend who once said to me they thought it would never get better and we were both in a kind of rubbish place but about a month later I asked them if they thought it'd ever get better and they said yes. I don't know if you think that's cute but it just makes me happy to know that people can go from that awful a place to that hopeful state in such a short time.

0 likesoh dodie. today i sprained my neck and i couldn't move my head. i started crying and frantically texting my mom so that i could go to hospital. she said put a hot rag on it and lie down. it still hurt. i could barely move. when she got home she told me i was throwing a temper tantrum (aka me having a mental breakdown being immobile) and i should stop exaggerating the pain. expect, it's one of the most intense pains i've felt for a very long time. she said "it's only a sprain. stop complaining" and sure, a sprain is very small compared to severed limbs or being stabbed, but if it's really nothing then why is it so painful and unwanted? is this how everyone feels? painful an unwanted?

0 likesOkay. I knew what this would be about as soon as I heard it was a metaphor and I almost didn't watch the video. I did, but had to turn off half way through when you mention the video you uploaded on...your mental health. I can't even say the words. They are massively triggering to me and I start to panic as soon as I hear them. I couldn't watch your last video on it, and i had to distance myself from your twitter and instagram and snapchat until you stopped talking about it. I'm aware of how insensitive and selfish and silly that sounds, but I just can't cope with it. The only way I get through is by ignoring...stuff, and pushing it right to the back of my mind. And hearing other people talk about going through the same thing makes me..I can't. This comment has no point, I just had to ramble about it because I've been panicking since I clicked off the video, so I came back to write this down. I feel so guilty for missing your videos. Its the first time I've missed one in almost two years that I've been subscribed.

0 likesI actually have a grandmother who tried to commit suicide 3 times. She drinks, and then drinks. She has been to the hospital to many times. Rehab once or twice.

0 likesMy dog attacked a woman, was labeled a dangerous dog and now we have to get rid of him. I love dogs, I love dogs with a lot of my heart. To see my childhood dog have to go, is painful. If we would keep him it would be over $500,000 to keep him. The lady also doesn't have insurance, because edge is from India.
School started and I nearly failed last year, I'm stressed out. I somehow ended up in Honours English and Honours Math. I need to stay on top of my grades.
I am questioning my sexuality, which is hard enough. I almost outed my friend, whose parents are homophobic, and came out for something I might not be. I saved it.
To top it off I play two instruments and play softball. That alone is enough, games every weekend. Band rehearsal every day, and jazz band.
Yet, I still smile. As if nothing was wrong. As if I have no problems. Almost like I don't care, I have no emotions. That's the problem. I laugh, smile, and do whatever to make other people happy or laugh. I don't share misery, I turn my misery into something happy. To make people laugh which makes me smile.
I swear on my life, this is all true.

0 likesI've had about five sprains, they are awful, they hurt as bad as a break. And the way they tell you to treat them is all wrong. Go to a physiotherapist if you can because they actually can not heal properly.

0 likesWhen I watched your depression, anxiety and depersonalisation video I started to cry. Everything you said was everything I have been feeling for the past three years of my life. Feelings that have been completely bottled up until I began to think I was going mad. Seeing you being at ease from that time really helps and gives hope to others out there to speak out and seek help. You really are a lovely person. Hope your ankle gets better soon! x :D
0 likesDodie 💕 Yes! This is amazing! Thank you so much 💖 As someone with multiple chronic illnesses which are invisible, people often discredit my pain because they can't see it. Having a heart condition, and a neurological condition is debilitating, but because I don't wear a cast, or use crutches or can put a Micky Mouse plaster over my injury people can't understand that there's something wrong, simply because they can't see it. So thank you so much for posting this for such a wide audience to see, and helping to educate people and spread awareness of invisible illnesses 💕
0 likesSuch a beautiful poem. It is so true! It's easy to understand/ focus on our own personal problems because we understand the depths of them and know what they are, but we forget that other people are going through their own issues too. Great reminder <3
0 likesDodie it makes me so so happy that mentally you're starting to feel better. You are so so brave, I love you a lot and I really hope your foot gets better soon <3
0 likesI just wanted to say thank you for being open about these kind of things. When you don't really feel quite there t can feel a bit lonely but it's a nice thing to hear creative, kind and genuine people who you admire talk about these things. I met you two years ago at one of Bry's shows in Ireland and you were very kind and just generally really positive to the people you met. It's comforting to know that real people who can make people happy are going through the same things as you are . I wish you the absolute best in your mental health, I'm glad to see you feel a bit better. On a less deep note I also hope your foot feels better soon!
0 likesi love this and your recently more vulnerable vids, dodie. it's nice to feel like you have someone who might not be able to pull me out of a deep well, but who will come sit with me at the bottom and have a chat...that's what these vids seem like for me <3
0 likesI loved your poem, you managed to articulate what I feel every day in such a cohesive and attractive way. I often feel like my pain is less valid if there is no outward sign of it be it bruises, injuries or cuts. As someone who plays rugby I think that also helped to reinforce it thinking that if I could still walk or the bruise wasn't that bad then I was being a wimp and should get on with it. Now that you've said it as well I feel like it's okay to feel like that now. I'm not the only one who feels that, thank you for sharing it means so much.

Thank you

Dodie your so open with us, it's amazing to see you be very comfortable and uncomfortable talking about this stuff with us. I glad to see that your mind is feeling a bit better, I can tell you that since your video on depression and anxiety I have probably gone deeper into my hole of depression and anxiety but your video still manage to keep spirits up. I hope your foot feels better. I wish I can met you one day and be able to tell you all of this in person.

0 likesi read your tweets this morning and felt a bit worried, glad you're okay and everything.Your last video was very helpfull because i'm suffering with some of the stuff and I loved how open and brave you were to share that things with us.
0 likesI'm so glad that you've decided to be open with us about whatever's going on with us. It really helps to know that someone I admire and look up to deals with her own things too, and that it's (very cliché line coming) okay not be okay. I've been a fan for around a ywar and I half now, and from what you've shared, I can relate to you a lot, which has made me love you even more than before. (which was already a lot) Every video you post is truly fantastic whether it's a fun 'not worth watching' type thing or something serious like the last video. It was great to wake up to one of your videos, either way, and I hope that you continue you to put out amazing content. ♡

0 likesthat really is a great metaphor; it hurts so much you think you might die, and then someone tells you it's "just a sprain" and then you feel kind of bad for hurting so much, but it's still the same pain, you know, and it hurts even if... you know. it was good. good, dodie, thanks and get well asap <3

Your depression video really helped me, I have depression and anxiety and have been on medication and counselling for a few years now. But that video inspired me to get more help, so thank you. Invisible pain seems to be worse than obvious pain, but we are all always here for you Dodie. Love you lots xxx

0 likesI'm jealous of your brain feeling better but am glad for you too. ❤
0 likesThis was really nice Dodie. I have chronic pain which (no big surprise) causes pretty severe depression. It is harder to reclaim my life because I will always be in pain, forever, until I die (Unless they invent bionic spines in my lifetime, I'm so ready for that!!). Not only is my spine invisibly on fire, but my brain is too. Your videos are a lovely thing to look forward to, thank you for talking about the real crap that some people are scared of. It matters.

Is it just me or does dodie look really nice in this video like it looks so minimalistic yet STUNNING 😍
0 likesDodie, your openness has really helped me open up to people close to me, like in the poem I tried to act normal but my anxiety felt and feels like it was ruining my life, I am now with the help of friends and family learning how to cope and now thanks to you I feel less of an outsider with my problems outside and in. My anxiety about what people think of me has gotten worse because I have a disability in my right hand and i always ended up with the anxiety of everything a million times worse. Now knowing it's not just me with anxiety and realizing I shouldn't care what others think has helped me become a better person from it, thank you dodie Clark :) and best wishes to your sprained ankle :^

0 likes"there are a lot more people in pain than you think" also applies to chronic physical pain as well. so many don't understand what it's like to have a chronic illness/invisible disability even thought it's purported to be less stigmatized than mental health. in general, I think the lesson here is to have more compassion for people.

0 likesBeing a person who cannot even open up about her mind to the closest people, it is really inspiring to see you do it so effortlessly ( which i know is not the case ). I really want to thank you to talk about issues like these in a ‘normal’ way. It makes me feel a little better.
0 likesthis means a lot to me because I have hyper extension in my knees, which means they bend to far back, which hurts a lot. I used to play Gaelic football for my county and was doing really well but everyday after training I would sit on the couch in tears I was in that much pain. sometimes I couldn't even move for a full day afterwards. I got so many " oh it's just growing pains" "you'll grow out of it" it's unreal. ive played football since I was 6. that means I've been playing for 9 years. I had to give it up this year because the physio told me I had to because I was doing more damage than it was worth. this broke my heart and i don't play any other sport. my knees are still horrible and even going to a convention is a big risk because after an hour of walking/standing my knees are on fire. but because this isn't a "proper" illness I don't get treated any different. ive had PE teachers force me to run laps of the pitch because I've asked to sit out of doing the long jump because it jars my knees in the mist painful way possible. I also have a problem with my stomach that causes me to have crippling pains all the time but because the doctor cant put a name to it, it's not real. it's horrible and everyone just passes it off as "eating too much". there's days were I can't eat anything without suffering horrible pains or on some days being sick. anyway, the point of this is, just because someone " isn't sick" doesn't mean they're not in pain.

0 likesOne day I hope I get to have a lovely chat with Dodie ( not that she's ever gonna come to Scotland), she's helped me through A LOT. I've had a hell of a lot of disasters these past two years and Dodie has been there for me when my own friends and family weren't. Whenever I heard her voice I felt happier, I felt like I finally had someone who would love me, for me. I thought of taking my own life at one point but I thought "no, Dodie wouldn't want this. She would want me to fight on". Dodie is living proof things get better, that you can do this. This year is MY year, I'm going to make sure, whenever I get the chance, I'm going to go and reach for my dreams (I wanna be a singer). I'm sorry for my rambling, pretty much I just wanted to thank Dodie for being the Angel she is and to tell you that things DO get better, you just have to keep fighting and stay alive to make sure you see it! Thank you so much Dodie, I hope your foot gets better!

I wanted to comment on your other video but I didn't really know what to say and I wasn't really sure how comfortable I was sharing super personal things about myself in a comments section with a bunch of random people. But you have been brave enough to talk openly and to really help people in doing so. Plus you are such a lovely person you seem to just attract lovely people as fans so I'm sure I'd be fine. I've struggled with depression and anxiety 'officially' for about 3 years and 'unofficially' for a good few years before that. I've hit the rock bottomest rock bottom twice. But I'm still here. Somehow. And some days I feel fine, I feel great, I feel happy even. I feel like I might be able to leave all this behind. Sometimes I'll be with my friends and just feel so empty. I know I should be happy but I just feel like I'm not even needed there. Still other days I can't even get out of bed. Other days everything just feels so huge and I feel so small and so alone and so unimportant. I have found that expressing those down times through art (a poem, a song, a drawing) can be very helpful in processing things but it won't really make it go away. I still feel down. A lot of times I go on youtube for my temporary happiness, because there are people on here that can still make me smile or laugh. You are one of those people, plus sometimes your songs make me feel less alone. I guess I still don't know what I'm saying and I'm rambling but the point is, I am incredibly proud of you for sharing with us and I thank you for it as well. You are such a beam of light to so many people, and I hope more than anything that you get to see that someday. (sorry for the little essay thats basically just a ramble)

0 likesI've felt so weird lately. I'll have an amazing day, spend time with friends and family, I'll be happy. Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason I feel so so sad; nothing I do helps when I start to feel like this. Any advice or information would be much appreciated, I'm too scared to google about it.
0 likesLol I feel ridiculous cause while everyone else was relating with their really serious and insightful stories about their own depression, I'm relating to my experience with... my sprained ankle. As funny as it sounds I had a sprain that actually lasted for like 4 months and then I reinjured it a bunch of times. It was only a sprain but it put me in such a shitty position cause I play soccer and was in between teams. And that sounds kinda insignificant, but I definitely think it translates to people shrugging off more serious problems when you open up about them. Anyway I loved the video and I liked the metaphor, please keep inspiring people and being so strong and beautiful. I hope you keep feeling better : )

0 likesThis sadly represents the still present stigma against mental health and how unless you are physically in need of aid your health is not considered as much of a priority. Really sad 😢😢 Shout out to those with anxiety called 'crybaby's' or those with depression called 'lazy' and to just 'be happy'. Mental health is just as valid as physical health and those who think otherwise are just ignorant and selfish. You wouldn't doubt someone if they said they had a broken leg for a second so why is it not the same with a mental disorder?

ik this video was kind of a metaphor but physical pain is also a thing just sayin
0 likesonce, I was drinking water and I stupidly laughed and i inhaled some water and I wasn't able to breathe so i jumped up and ran into my mom's room while crying bc i was terrified bc i couldn't get air in or out. Eventually i coughed out all the water but it hurt to breathe and I couldn't talk for a while, but everyone in my family just said that the water went down the wrong way and that i was being over dramatic. And I have swallowed water the wrong way before, but it wasn't nearly as bad. I couldn't breathe at all, but no one believed me. not even my mom.

0 likesThe fact that so many people open up to you is just another sign that none of us are alone. It often feels that way because we don't here others talking about their own struggles, but everyone struggles with something difficult in their life wether it's the loss of a loved one, or just being sad for no reason, everyone experiences pain. It sounds very sad but when you think about it that's just what makes us human. Being sad isn't fun, but neither would being happy if it wasn't for the dark times throughout our lives. It sounds really cheesy but it is so true and I know you are sad about all the messages Dodie, but just try to remember that all those people will be even better people when they come out of it. Also try to remember that the reason so many people open up to you is because you make people realize that they are like this and that they need professional help. You actually help people. I'm just jumbling my words now but I think you get the point.

I eat and sleep and breathe

if I eat too much my body tells me no
I head into the bathroom and back up it goes
food is like a tyrant
slowly taking over my life

I've given up the knife
instead I choke myself and
have a silent battle with the enemy
they say eat healthy and you'll be fine
but my fat disagrees
so here I am
under a blanket of words
hurtful words said by mean people
under a mask
a mask that hides the pain anger and tears

1 likeI love this so much 💕 it's so true that people can be ill or in pain and no one could know. My mum has had MS for about 7 years and to anyone who didn't know she looks perfectly fine. The annoying thing is though when people presume she is perfectly fine like once we were parking in a disabled space (she has a blue badge as her legs get really tired and sore) and someone shouted at her for taking up a space when she wasn't disabled. I think more people need to see this video as it shows people can look perfectly fine but still be ill or in pain ❤️ hope you're feeling better and that your ankles okay Dodie xx
0 likesAw I hope you're doing okay Dodie :( you were so brave to make that video (and btw your hair looks beautiful) xx

0 likesDodie, i don't know if you'll have the time to reply but i know you read your comments and thought i should tell you this. Yesterday, i had a pretty weird dream, and you were in it. You were crying because you had hit the lowest point in your life and thought you'd never get back up and i stayed with you, and in you, i saw all my friends and relatives who seek happy but are in an invisible pain. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone, and when i woke up today, i talked to many friends and helped them feel better (i even convinced one to start therapy because of their mental health problems). Thank you for making me realize that in many cases, suffering can be invisible. You're making me a better person. 💙

16 likesthey all are. but dan and phil's videos are starting to feel fake, imo, and i feel that the phandom doesn't need to be infiltrating everywhere, even the phandom knows the phandom is often cringey. i just don't think it's a very good idea, and i also feel it's kind of annoying people being like 'you should do this', 'you should do that', etc. and also mentioning phan is an instant way to get likes, i just don't like this kind of thing. didn't mean to ramble this much, sorry!
YES
0 likes+isabel I don't think their videos are starting to feel fake...I'm in the phandom and I love dan and phil! and the fact that they're everywhere almost makes it cooler because I see people that love the people I love too! I don't think their videos are becoming cringey, they're funny
3 likes+isabel i definitely see where your coming from! Some of theyre videos are a little extra but i still think they're videos are great. and yES i know the phandom is annoying oml 😂😂
