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."

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.

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.


"JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT VALID" thankyou yes

+Beth Boulevard yeah sometimes i feel like the feelings in my heart are all in my head

+maureen wilando it's really nice to hear someone else say it too, it makes it more real 😊

Ikr she is so relatable because sometimes you have things in your mind that you can't quite put into words perfectly. And she did just that


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 I'm not really sure, just things like OCD, bipolar disorder, etc.. I'm not sure exactly lol but thanks for helping! <3

+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"?

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

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...

+Sssophie exactly! Glad I'm not the only one 😊

+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. :)

"(I think)" that is the most relatable thing, personally, that I've seen so far


How can Dodie make something so beautiful about her foot. What.

i think she is more creative than she knows.


"People could feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know."

Maybe that's why Dan is not on fire.


"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.

+Angelika T. I think she got contacts that make her eyes Gray. I think.....?

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. :)

Her hair has gotten a lot longer and it looks really nice!!


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💕

Sometimes bending is worse than breaking


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 absolutely beautiful. I really really hope you're feeling much better <3

i don't know why i related to this so much...

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL HOLY FLIP IT'S AMAZING<br>but also I'm really sorry and I hope you're feeling at least slightly better. Stay strong, we're here for you. xxx

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


yes dodie. you do that poetry. i love this.


This video came moment where I really needed it. I couldn't relate more. Thank you for your videos, they help💕


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!

This comment is everything.  Couldn't have said it better myself, thank you Dodie <3

We have so much in common with our anxiety and whatnot and it's amazing. you're so strong!

Exactly how so many of us feel towards you Dodie... Thanks for being YOU...

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.

This comment made me cry a wee bit. Thank you lovely lovely lovely <333333


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

i hope everyone has a lovely day remember i love you


this is great, im glad ur feeling better brain wise i hope u stay that way, also hope ur foot feels better also damn ur hair u loom amazing x <3


I know this isn't really relevant but YOUR HAIR LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN THIS VIDEO <3 xxx


I hope you feel better soon!

You looked extra pretty in that video if that's even possible ^.^


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

HELLO! MY SISTER AND I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL OF THE TIME!!!!

+doddleoddle just fangirled like a lil bitch. Thank you so much ☺🌸

I am now watching all ur vids lol. Firstly I love your ginger curly pixie cut. Secondly feel better bub <3333


tip: if you catch yourself thinking 'maybe im faking it' chances are, you're not

Thank you so much for saying this. I keep thinking "maybe I'm just too damn sensitive yo everything." But maybe I'm not.

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.

i find it sad that you used a sad face but for some reason i also find it hilarious that you replied to this with your other channel

Damn. This is pretty much what I think anytime I'm going through something difficult.

Wow. Fuck. I actually think that a lot and it's a genuine concern for me


You look absolutely stunning Dodie! I'm glad you're feeling better and hopefully your foot will feel better soon too 💗


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


Your honesty is so inspiring, especially when you speak it so beautifully, also you look so adulty with straight hair but in a good cute way ❤


I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! It sounded like a very distressing state to be in. I loved your poem, too! Also, you look lovely!


Oh my gosh Dodie looks especially stunning in this video.


Dodie, I love you so much. Also, your hair is fabulous in this video and you look gorgeous. I hope you feel even better soon (both foot and head.)


I love this poem its beautiful, especially the extended metaphor of the 'invisible illness' through the sprain. Thanks Dodie :)


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


dodie sou fucking slay and this was a beautiful metaphor

+karsynlemley0303 no hahah it's actually because engagement works better to get one's comment seen than likes

+karsynlemley0303 yeah and that you also want to promote it why would you want to promote something that you don&#39;t like/ agree with lol

+karsynlemley0303 yeah and that you also want to promote it why would you want to promote something that you don't like/ agree with lol

+Panic! At 21 Years it's basically to bump comments up because likes aren't enough lol

+elinewllms What's that plus mean? Idk and I feel stupid. 😿😿


It's so nice to see your adorable smile! Stay Strong Dodie ♡


This is so incredibly relatable and you did an amazing job putting it all to words. Thank you for that and I wish you a speedy recovery.


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.


That was a beautiful metaphor Dodie, hope you feel better <3


'People can feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know' - Dodie Clark 2016

+Emka Nunubeesnest it was an initiative of hank green (vlogbrothers ) to encourage better (less hateful & controversial)  comments going to the top of the page

+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

Wait, what's with the +? I'm not the brightest person.

This is my favorite thing ever right now


this was very lovely and im so glad you're feeling better. i appreciate your existence so very much. thank you for all that you do ♡


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!<br>thank you for spreading some light on my day

You look absolutely stunning, so cute when your freckles show! So happy to know that you're doing better, you truly deserve it x


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 was so sweet, I'm so happy you're feeling better! <br>by the way your hair looks really nice like that 😊

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


So glad you're feeling better! Hope anyone else going through something similar can get through it-- I'm sending love <3

I'm so happy you are feeling better! love you x
also that metaphor was amazing, you are amazing


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. :)


....This is beautifully made and shows a really relatable message ❤


I'm so happy you're doing better! Thank you for making me and thousands of other people happy xoxo


Dodie!!! You are such a gem of a poem! And the  poem in the beginning was so bloody accurate!! <3


I love this so much. It describes something that can be so complicated, so simply. And btw Dodie you look SOOO beautiful in this video 😘


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


This is a beautiful message Dodie <3 Also super duper happy your back :) Love you xx


I may or may not have just teared up a little...or a lot. This was not only so cute but so important to me, thank you Dodie. ❤


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


I'm so happy you're feeling better Dodie 😁 it's inspirational to people out there that things will get better ❤


This was really beautiful 💕 Hope you will get better really soon! Take care ❤


This was so beautiful, Dodie. I understand and I hope you feel all the betters!


DODIE!!! You look absolutely gorgeous. Glad to hear you're feeling better. You are not alone!


this was so amazing like my jaw actually dropped. thank you for being so open all the time!!


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.

+doddlevloggle Thanks! I am completely healed now. 😊


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


this video is so beautiful dodie! i'm so glad you're feeling better ❤


I really hope you're doing okay Dodie. I love you. You're such an inspiration to me and I just really hope you're doing well.


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.

Glad you're doing better then. Keep it up :)

I'm sorry to be this person but the phandom is everywhere and its so amazing

Also, you know what Dodie, you help. Thanks.


im so glad youre doing better it makes me happy to see you happy ❤❤❤ (also you looked gorgeous in this video)


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.

(also, side note, your hair looks so good!)


My wife has Fibromyalgia and <b>sigh</b> 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

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 :)

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!

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".

:( <33333 sending so much love and strength to her. What a brave brave woman <3


I'm so glad you're feeling better ♡ <br>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

I'm so glad you're feeling better ♡

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.


I'm so glad you're feeling better mentally! On a superficial note, the hair and makeup are on point :)


I am SO happy that you are feeling better! Love the poem ❤😙


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


Glad you're getting better! You're looking lovely! ❤ keep up the good work!


i really appreciate you, dodie. you are such a light in my life. it's so nice to not feel alone.


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 glad you're starting to feel better Dodie <3


This was such a beautiful poem Dodie and I hope your ankle feels better soon <3 also side note your hair looks so nice in this video!!


IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU DODS!! also get well soon, i feel your pain (i have a scar on my leg) love ya


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


I love hearing that you're getting better little by little <3


Glad you're doing better dodie :) btw your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!!


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


<3 Great poem! I am so glad you're feeling better (except the ankle, of course)!  : )


Dodie!! you don't understand how much I love this!! please do more poetry type things!! and I'm so glad that you are feeling better! :)


I'm so glad you're feeling better! I hope your mental health continues to go in a positive direction. We care about you, happy recovery <3 xxx


That was pretty god damn beautiful. I'm so happy and proud of you that you're starting to feel better ad getting help!


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.

Omg I agree she definitely one of those youtubers you want to be friends with and talk too she is so lovely

And I really hope your ankle gets better soon so you can do more "water challenges" for Coke TV lol the one uploaded today was so fun and happy


I needed to hear this and I didn't even know it. Thank you for being willing to share - it's more encouraging than you know


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.)


I love, love, love the poem. Thank you, Dodie.


Wow this is so amazing that you can talk about this so openly❤


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 😊💕


Everyone needs to hear this, thankyou Dodie. (You look so pretty omf)


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 :)


God i'm so happy you're feeling better 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!


I'm glad you're feeling better. Never forget that you have support from all of us, we love you ❤


it is how open you are that makes people open up to you so much <3 I'm glad you are doing better!


DODIE your an inspiration to everyone, you make the most meaningful amazing things that touch everyone, your the best


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


I love that poem and I am so glad to hear you feel better. Also, I would just like to say, your hair looks GORGEOUS


I'm so happy that you're feeling better. Love ya!


Dodie you are so brave and beautiful. Thank you for being so open with us, I know we all appreciate it. Love you, stay happy. <3


Dodie is the first person I've ever known of that can write a beautiful poem beginning with things about her foot. Nice job Dodie!


im super happy that you're feeling much better! keep doing what makes you happy, and take care of yourself dodes. <3

and, hope your foot gets better as well. :D


I'm glad to hear you're back and feeling better, and that you have remembered why you're alive <3


I, too, sprained my ankle this week. I love you Dodes. (: Glad you're feeling okay. Maybe not better, but okay.


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 :)


im so glad you're feeling better! hope your ankle hurts less soon ❤❤❤


glad you're feeling a little more like a person Dodie! Hope that ankle feels better soon.


I really needed this today. Thank you Dodie <3


We all love you Dodie❤ I'm so happy that you feel better.


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


Thank you Dodie 💜 It is comforting, but very very sad, to know you aren't alone.


Great poem. I'm glad you're feeling better and I  hope that your ankle heals soon. :)


Hope your foot gets better soon and that you keep feeling better in yourself too! Also, your hair looks lovely 😀 love your videos and music


"I really have remembered why I'm alive" I FEEL SO PROUD OF YOU TO HEAR THAT


I'm so extremely glad you're feeling better ♡


Love this. Love youuu glad you're feeling better!! 💕


I can't begin to explain how happy I was for you when you said "I'm back" asdjdj dodie, we're here for you no matter what :>


I'm so glad your back dodie, hope you fell well soon, luv ya 💓


I'm so glad your feeling better dodie, I hope things just keep getting better and better for you 😄😝😘 with love xx


I really relate to you Dodie. I'm so happy to watch your videos because you just fill me with instant happiness! Keep fighting the good fight


You look so beautiful and also this was such a deep message considering at was about your sprained ankle :)


this was so pretty and such a lovely metaphor. also dodie you look very beautiful in this!


Dodie you're a big inspiration! I keep saying this, but you truly are!


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.<br>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 ❤


Love your dress, loved the poem! And the video all together! Welcome back, good to have you!!


You're so beautiful and so inspiring, you have no idea how great you are <3

This was amazing, Doddie! 😍😍
I wanna listen to it again!
AND YOU REALLY LOOK
STUNNING with your hair like that!


You are awesome Dodie. Very glad to see you smile. Hope you're doing well :-)


This is lovely, you inspire me so much <3


I'm so glad that you have broken through, your bravery and willingness to share your story with your audience is so inspiring.. So thanks ily


its so amazing to hear youre getting better <3


You're my favourite youtuber, you're very down to earth and I really appreciate you for making these videos :))<3


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 :)

+Megan Kirchner ? She's joking but about Melanie copying a speech


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!!


Dodie, i love you!!💕 I love seeing you smile, I just want you to be okay. Stay strong. Take care, love.


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


Oh my, you look so pretty! :) Really happy that you are feeling better! :) Lots of love, light and happy thoughts to you <3


I loved this, how can Dodie make something so beautiful about her ankle?? sidenote- Dodie's hair looks so good straight omg


You have been looking quite nice recently 💞 hopefully you figure it out soon! I cannot personally help other than supporting you 100%. Love you Dodie💖


Dodie this video made me so happy, remember to take it easy, and you're not alone ! Xxx


Thank you for this. I relate to this from both a mental illness perspective and from a chronic pain/invisible illness perspective.


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!


I'm so, SO incredibly happy that you're feeling better mentally.


I'm so glad you're feeling better. I love you so much 💗


im so happy you're feeling better, you also look so lovely . keep smiling love :)


Is it just me who would like to date Dodie or even just be good friends with her xx


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


"If you're interested, my head is feeling better; my ankle hurts like a motherfu-" thanks for making me smile Dodie


i'm glad you're feeling better (sorry about your ankle tho)! also you look real pretty in this vid in a more mature-ish kind of way.


im really happy that you're feeling mentally better dodie :) I hope your ankle gets better soon!


Sorry, not related, but your hair looks quite lovely.


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.


Wonderful <3 ps your hair in this vid my goodness <3 <3

Dodie is just stunning in this video but the hair ermagerd!!! :O <3


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


Such a lovely video :) Nice poem, great hair and a positive sound. Thanks Dodie!


you look so pretty in this video! I mean you look pretty in every video but for some reason this one is different


Sorry about your ankle! Also I'm so so so glad you're feeling better😊


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


Omg Dodie your hair has gotten so long!! Also glad to know you're feeling better :)


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!


If I could reach through my screen and hug you right now I would I'm sorry your in pain hope you feel better soon


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! :)


I'm so so glad you're feeling better dodie!!!


I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better :)


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.


your hair is longer than i thought because you always curl it aw you look cute


You are an amazing person. Stunning, talented, strong, brave. <br>To everyone reading this.

You are an amazing person. Stunning, talented, strong, brave.
To everyone reading this.


That was... so beautiful, yet so simple. I'll have to remember to come back to this video, such an important thing to remember, and so easy to forget.


Your so amazing at making other people feel amazing so altogether we can just be amazing at recognising how amazing we all are. Luv ya! ^=^


I'm glad that your feeling a bit better! You definitely deserve to feel better c: you're such a beautiful being and you inspire me so much!


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


dodie your my fucking favourite person alive and honestly, you saved my life❤<br>much love xxx

dodie your my fucking favourite person alive and honestly, you saved my life❤
much love xxx


Dodie you will never understand how truly I love you 😂❤


I hope ur foot heals soon! And im so so glad ur feeling better now :D


1:20 omg this focus was accidental but it made so much sense


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.


Dodie you look so different in this video!


I adore that dress anf your hair and your makeup and you! So happy to hear youre doibg better. Keep up the good work, queen ❤


i hope you are doing well, and i am in love with this hair dodie!! <3


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).


I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you feel better and better each day :)


You look so pretty 😍 love you Dodie, I know you're going through a tough time, and I'm always supporting you :)


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.


maybe get little baskets that could hang off the side of the ladder or something instead? :P

+Isabella Godel (Color Dreamer) that would be awesome

Pleaaaase collab with dan and phil it will be hilarious!


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.


This was beautiful and this gives me hope :3 ❤


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!


Thank you for this Dodie really. I hope you find what you're looking for.


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 )


"people can feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know" love ya dodie


Good for you! I'm glad you're feeling better :)


I love this, very Savannah Brown like, inspiring

also a cactus??


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


Excellent metaphor, Dodie. I've always believed that mental illness should be taken just as seriously as physical illness. Hope you're ok.


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.


you look so pretty, and a lil grown up, glow up doodie and it's cute


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.


LOVE YOU DODIE! Hope ankle #1 is feeling better.


Dodie, I love you but... why did you think the plant thing was a good idea??<br>ps i'm so glad you feel better

Dodie, I love you but... why did you think the plant thing was a good idea??
ps i'm so glad you feel better


Dodie I'm really so very glad that you're doing ok, I really am I hope this lasts for weeks and months and I hope you can just stay ok.


I love you, Dodie. You are such a beautiful, kind person.


so happy you're already starting to feel a bit better! hope it only continues xx


Ah this is awesome 😀 you're amazing dodie


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! :)


It's great to know your feeling better because mental pain is just as important as physical pain❤


god damn it dodie, i love you so so much! your like a sister or like a close friend that i can relate to and your videos are so special to me!


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


Oh my lord Dodie I have goosebumps this is such a good metaphor


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.


You are a wonderful person! I love your videos and all what you have done. Thank you for making me happy.xx


Glad you're feeling better! Hope your ankle feels better soon as well.


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. ❤


OH MY GOD I'M  SO EARLY AND YOU'RE SO GORGEOUS


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


dodie im so glad that you're so self aware and trying so hard to get help because so many people are the complete opposite :(


i am very happy to hear that your mind is feeling better!! i hope the same for your foot soon


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.


why didn't you take them off the ladder yet

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

+Frizzbiscuit congrats on doing ur taxes m8

(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)


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:


I'm so glad you're doing better dodie!! (I mean aside from the ankle lol I hope that stops hurting vv soon xxxxx)


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! 💞💕💖


Aw Dodie I'm glad your better (p.s. ur hair omg how do u manage to look great with any hairstyle) :)


Glad you're feeling better Dodie(apart from your ankle)


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 :) <br>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


gosh, your hair is so nice in this video! youre lovely Dodie and I hope your injury heals well!

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)


Dodie please do a room tour! your room looks absolutely adorable!


you look absolutely stunning in this, Dodie! ❤


This was such a great poem!!!. Your makeup is beautiful today also.


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 just burst into tears at 1:33 because I am really at rock bottom and your tiny little cheesiness helped so much. Thanks dodie <3


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.


honestly you are my favourite human. Keep being you <3


Dodie just wanted to tell you that your so beautiful and I'm glad your doing well x


wow that poem is so true! i hope your ankle gets better soon, i can't understand how much it hurts. get well soon Dodie!!


hope you feel better from your ankle and your head ♡


I tore my ligament playing soccer six weeks ago. And I still have swelling and extreme pain! I feel you Dodes 😌


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)


I'm so glad to hear you're doing better now Dodie x


Amazing little poem. So awesome how you can make something so amazing. You look beautiful by the way❤❤❤


i wish healing for your foot and depression healing for you and all your friends/acquaintances.


I love your hair! And this poem was so beautiful


this was fantastic; hope you feel better!! ilysm u cutie!!


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


Hope your ankle feels better along with your mind 😊


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 😉😉)


thank you, Dodie. thank you so much. i needed this right now.<br>you make the earth a better place to be in :)

thank you, Dodie. thank you so much. i needed this right now.
you make the earth a better place to be in :)

also your hair looks absolutely gorgeous today 👌


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!


Yayy!!😄❤ I'm glad you're feeling better.


love the poem, and your hair, you are dope Dodie :D


i'm so happy and so proud that you're feeling a bit better


I really love your poems. They make me so happy and inspired so thank you!!!!!! You probably won't see this but oh, well...


First, I hope your ankle gets better! Second, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!!!!!!!!


omg dodie. love the poem <3 and the dress <3 and the hair <3


1:you're so beautiful<br>2: this is so wonderful, I love you, you're grand, you can do this! I believe in you!

1:you're so beautiful
2: this is so wonderful, I love you, you're grand, you can do this! I believe in you!


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!


you look so beautiful in this video!! (i mean you're always beautiful but) I love this video so so much i hope your ankle heals quickly!!<3


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.


You deserve the world, you're such a pure human being. Thank you


You're such a wonderful gal, Dodie. So talented.


im soooo glad ur feeling better! ps.i love ur songs and i love you ❤💚💜💙


so glad to see you back dodie, we all missed you


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 am so happy to hear you are feeling somewhat better x


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

I just read that back and realised how cringey I sound sorry. ^-^


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!


IM SO GLAD YOU'RE FEELING BETTER MENTALLY ILY


Omg this is so powerful, I love the way you put it :) On another note, OMg your hair has grown SO much.<br>I literally got mine cut yesterday to the length you got it when you first cut it.

I literally got mine cut yesterday to the length you got it when you first cut it.


Love this so very much! Also may I say you look absolutely beautiful in this video!


dodie you look so fucking awesome in this, even more beautiful than usual

btw that is so creative ! I hope you are doing good

xoxo


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.


doodie ive watched you sence you where a lil sproutling and you can do this i have so much faith in you doodie!! (also your makeup is on fire 💯)

                    Love,
                            Kandy <3


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


Looking gorgeous. So glad you're feeling better (Minus the foot)


Such a good metaphor. Glad you are pulling through.


I have shown this video to all my friends who have tried to help my suffering. Thank you.


I'm very glad that your head is feeling better, I hope your ankle feels better soon, <3


Perfect poem. Some people say everyone has depression at one stage in their lives and thats ok


I love your hair here. I hope you can be happier soon 💙


You look beautiful Dodie ! And so is the poem :) take care


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.


The plants are super cute on that ladder. I hope your ankle feels better soon, dooddlehobble <3 ;)


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😊😊


Ok firstly this is such a great and creative metaphor for this oml, and your hair and makeup are slaying yes Dodie


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'm so tremendously happy your brain is feeling better Dodie. You deserve the best and I care about you so much♥


doooodieee, you look like a lil angel in this <3 !!!! happy to see you're doing well, sorry bout your foot i saw that on snapchat- OUCH


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


OMG DODIE WITH STRAIGHT HAIR! Also I love this poem you're so amazing x


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. ❤


dodie,  you're adorbz and I'm glad you're feeling better.


This is quite lovely, and your hair looks gorgeous


My brain is starting to feel better too. I felt the same as you did for a while, Dodie :(. Glad we're both feeling better tho :) 😁


Glad you're feeling much better <3 <3 <3 xx


you look like an angel:) yeah, it's sad, but totally comforting. You really helped me with your last video of depression. hope you're feeling better


I LOVE this poem I wish I had it as a wallpaper.


your hair is getting so long dodie!! it looks gorgeous, just like this poem x


i love this, this was also cite as well. the mumbling at the end when you were limping to the camera was funny


idk why i love this video so much like you have such a clear message here and i love you (also this will forever be fav look)


Your hair looks so cute! In previous videos you said that you didn't like your "flat" hair, but I think it's beautiful! <3


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 :)<br>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 ;)


Can we possibly have more poems in the future? :)


She looks beautiful in this video just like she usually does but this time her happiness shines through making her even more stunning xxx


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 hope your ankle feels better soon, and I'm glad that you're doing a lot better :)


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


What??? You wrote a poem about me Dodie? That's so sweet!!<br>😂😚

What??? You wrote a poem about me Dodie? That's so sweet!!
😂😚


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.

I also recognize that this was a metaphor, but in regards to your physical pain, I'd just thought I'd let you know that I feel you.


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!


It was the best metaphor you could use ❤


nice metaphor and your hairs looks different and very beautiful today! :)<br>hope you´re feeling well right now ♥

nice metaphor and your hairs looks different and very beautiful today! :)
hope you´re feeling well right now ♥


This was great. Also Dodie, you look so beautifullllll all the freaking timeeee


Dodie... you're the kind of 'role model', for lack of a better term, that this world needed. Thank you. ❤


i love you Dodie! Your hair looks so cute here.


Oh god I know that feel, sprained ankles hurt like motherf. Both in the metaphorical sense from the poem, and in the literal sense.


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'm so glad you're feeling better mentally. Sorry about the sprained ankle, though. Sprains hurt like a MF, definitely. Hope you feel better soon!


I love you Dodie and I hope you feel much better brain wise and also your hair looks very lovely


im so happy that youre feeling better (head wise) !!!


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.


you're a precious angel, I get so happy when I see you in my subs


Good to hear your back. Some times a break is the best thing.


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


my dear, you look so lovely... you are so lovely! im really happy you're getting better dodie


you're amazing. seriously A+ person, and i love you.  also you look really pretty. as always.


Like many of Dodie's videos I clicked on it not knowing what to expect, watched it and was amazed.


im glad you're feeling better :) i kind of had a moment where i lost the will to live, i forgot why im here, but im feeling a lot better


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.


So glad your feeling better! Sorry to hear about the foot though!


so nice to hear you're doing better, dodes


you're looking lovely as usual :) i loved your poem xxx


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.


I cannot say enough how much I love your videos


you beeeeeeeautiful person. have watched this over and over and it's brilliant every single time. xx


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!


This is very important. Thank you for talking about this.


I'm so so glad that you're feeling a bit better. Also, it's off topic, but you look SO FREAKING PRETTY geez


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'm sorry your foot hurts but I'm happy your mind is doing better. <3


This made my day. Thank God that you feel better emotionally. But I am sorry about your ankle...😕


This is just one of those things that I didn't know I needed but it really helped


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!


35 seconds in and I'm already loving this video


I love Dodie's makeup in this video SO MUCH


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.


(Kinda off topic) I absolutely LOVE your hair and make up in this video, it suits you a lot, you look incredibly beautiful (even more than normal)


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.<br>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''.

Dodie u are so beautiful and talented!! (Also I love ur hair and ur makeup!!!) xxxx


Can we just talk about how much dodie is SLAYING in this video. Absolutely flawless. Like Jesus I look how her foot probably feels 😂


This was q really good metaphor poem thing<br>I hope your ankle feels better and so does your brain

This was q really good metaphor poem thing
I hope your ankle feels better and so does your brain


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


dodie, you are so beautiful and so are your words


I just wanted to tell you that I thought you looked absolutely beautiful in this video. Not that you don't always look beautiful, of course!


"People can feel like they're on fire, and you'd never really know." That's so true.


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.


I know this is irrelevent to the video and the conversation you aim to create, but you look soooo beautiful in this video. LITERALLY gorgeous!!!!!


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 :)


it makes me really happy that you're doing better, mental struggles truly are the worst


this is amazing and your hair looks so pretty


wow...so true....so relatable..... and I love your hair!!!


THat was a lovely poem! I'm sorry you hurt your foot! And I wish there was an icepack for mental illness too


Dodie you're so cute and I'm so happy you're happy, like so happy :)


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 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).<br>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.


Dodie looks so beautiful in this video (and every video xx)


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 ❤


Metaphors metaphors, I love all your wonderful metaphors <3<3


In this video you just look 👌 your hair, your dress and generally everything is on point (Not that it isn't usually 😊)


Oh Dodes...happy to know you're okay. Through thick and thin... don't forget. ;)


u look like a fairy dodz, i love seeing your smile


DODIE DODIE DODIE! I want to use this for my first audition in my new high school theatre program on friday! Id love your permission please❤💗


I saw it on snapchat and I wanted to cry...why would something hurt my angel Dodie I LOVE YOH DODIE


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.

So I relate SO MUCH


you look great with straightened hair, dodie!


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.


You're always lovely but your hair looks particularly nice today!


this is such a great video. ps your hair and makeup look beautiful xxx


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 mean Dodie always looks absolutely stunning but in this video....wow...just wow!


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.


Can I just say .... your hair looks amazing!


I'm glad youre feeling better mentally and hope your ankle is cured soon!


I love this. I love you. This whole video is bloody mazing and i love the ankle metaphors.  bye


My head is also starting to get better now I think, and your videos aways help me thank you :)


your beautiful xx Also i met you once you were super lovely and i hope your ankle feels better


i'm so glad you're feeling better <3 ily

her little limp at the end. my heart is forever yours, dodie.


The exact same thing happened to me today omg I thought I broke my ankle but it was just a bad sprain :p


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. :)


Completely off topic but, your hair looks fantastic in this video. :)


I just want to say how beautiful dodie looks <3


You look sooo pretty today :)

love the message!


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
