You're really strong and also still really young and you're still learning and figuring things out I'm so proud of you


Thank you Dodie for being so honest. I love that you talk about your mistakes and it makes you even more wonderful because you are famous but still a human. Yeah sounds a bit weird but many famous people seem to have a perfect life and post it on social media and in my opinion that's why especially young people get mental issues. So although you made a mistake you are wonderful and helpful because you don't pretend to have a perfect life. <3


Hey, I think this was a really great video and you handled a potentially volatile situation with extreme grace.

Personally, because I've been in a similar place as you, I never found your content too confronting or too dark, it was comforting to know somebody else was going through it. I could certainly see that it wasn't for everyone though, so I think this is a healthy step.

Just wanted to let you know that you were doing SOME of that good you intended. You're wonderful <3


I think this is such a good way of dealing with this, making it into art. I personally have seen little problems with what you've been sharing, but that may be because I have dealt with derealisation in the past and so I have been exposed to it first-hand, meaning that I find your snapchats and instagrams less alarming (if that's even the right word?) Also, just on a side note, I do not experience DR nearly as much as I used to- it is vitrually gone! This just proves that it IS possible to recover your brain from this, just keep going and doing what you're doing Dodie ♡


hey dodie,
this was really mature and im proud of you for making this. im happy that you realised what was wrong with what you were doing.
i feel like my comment was one that was probably hard to hear, and i want to let you know that watching this video actually made me want to be part of your community again. im glad that you don't want mental health to be part of how you're seen - like I said in my comment, I felt like it had unintentionally become part of your branding. im glad you're taking steps to fix that and I do genuinely believe this will help you as much as it helps your audience.

Dear Dodie, I see the responses to this video and the last and I know how hard it must be to hear. It even makes me squirm and just makes me so sad because I don't know how I would cope with responses like that. I really understand how posts and writing help and make you feel less alone, especially when you're feeling so alone. I know how much it hurts to receive any kind of criticism when you're so unstable/breakable. It makes you feel so trapped and so scared of doing anything wrong, which makes everything worse. And it sucks to be told to go to a therapist or to friends, or to write a journal when you're feeling so awful and everyone is treating it so clinically, like that will make it all better. I know you won't see this but i hope you are okay and I really really understand, and the responses from people feel like blows to the stomach even to me. Love you and your videos and don't worry and don't go crazy overthinking this. It's okay. 💗


dodie, we're all proud of you and how mature you are. you're human, you make mistakes and you learn from it all. you're so close with your audience and we all have a mutual love and understanding. we appreciate you dodie <3 and we're always here with you


Aw Dodie. I'm sorry you're sad about this. I have loved all of your posts, and have never felt like you share too much. As someone struggling with these disorders as well, it feels nice to see you speaking about it, like we're in the fight together. Every Snapchat and instagram has made me feel understood and related to. I hope you are finding the balance that is right for you, but I hope you know that there are many viewers out there who have connected to and truly truly appreciated hearing your thoughts, even the darkest ones. I value your influence on the internet and on the world. Thank you.


Aw seeing dodie so sad is heart breaking, I hope you can fight this and stay strong!


I appreciate this so much! Thank you and I love you x


we are so proud of you dodie, your fans are here for you, always xx


I actually love your videos, I enjoy watching your videos about mental health because it reminds me that I'm not alone, I really hope you get better and find happiness in yourself 💕


honestly though it's very mature and responsible that you've recognised and issue and have seeked out ways to resolve it, i've recently started watching your videos and therefore i haven't seen much about your mental health, however watching both of your videos i feel like it's made me respect you even more


Dodie, I think you are wonderful. So strong and so brave and I really really hope that when you do get low, you don't start thinking of this and making yourself feel bad for making a mistake. You are still young and you are allowed to make mistakes, especially when those mistakes were attempts to help yourself and others. Please remember that learning something is not a bad thing and that you are not a bad person for trying to help yourself and others. I know everyone is different but in my experience with anxiety and depression, I know if I were you, I would probably return to this and over think it, making myself feel worse and I just wanted to give you some important things to remember if you were to do that. I hope your next therapist works for you! I know how you feel, I'm also waiting on my 5th therapist but we can't lose hope that this one will work.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, I have never once thought you glamourised mental health issues. It is really difficult to know what to say and what not to say to both avoid oversharing and glamourising so pleaseeeee do not feel bad for trying to do good.
Good luck for the future, I'm sure this hard time will pass soon❤


I am very much like you when it comes to dealing with mental problems online,  and I want to thank you for making this and that other video about it. I think it is very important that we are clear in the mind when sharing something hard, and not be unstable. And good for you on the therapy! I went to therapy for a couple of years and I freaking LOVED IT! It really can be wonderful and I wish you all the best with it <3 :-)


Proud of you dodie and just know that I we know you ment no harm and your intentions were good even when you crossed the line. It's so good to see you being so welcome to opinions that were difficult for you to read. Someone else could have been defensive about it but you are willing to try to help yourself and others in a healthier way and that's wonderful. It's honestly so inspiring to see how you keep trying to get better (I have given up many times). Good luck with everything much love !xx💛


This is really brave of you and I think you handled it really well :)


Dodie, the videos you have posted on YouTube is fine. They are all beautiful, well thought out, and honest so please don't feel bad about them.

Snapchat was the real issue with oversharing and it was just too much.


dodie, I love you and I want to thank you so much for doing veda despite your poor mental health. I appreciate that so much. Just get through, you will be fixed.


Just to be clear you've never glorified it in terms of making it sound like anything other than something you want to get over, but it is good to recognize young impressionable audiences who may not understand fully. I hope you don't feel too badly or let it weigh on you, you were a huge help in me starting to heal from my mental health issues and learning to open up about them (which was a hue part of it), so thank you :)


I feel like something you could do is, record a video talking about how you're feeling but keep it to yourself so you can still have that outlet but without sharing it online.
Personally when reading/watching your posts it has made me feel less alone in everything to do with my mental health but I understand why some people would find it over bearing. I have a private Tumblr in which I pour my heart out but only I can see it so it is like an online diary I guess...

Stay strong Dods, you have a loving and caring audience as well as so many friends and family that love and support you! It will get better but there will be ups and downs but that is part of recovery..i only wish there was more I could do but my words on here are all I have. Much love x


Personally I find your videos helpful for my mental illness as it makes me feel less alone and less mad however people handle mental illness in different ways and if your videos are triggering for some people I want your videos to be comfortable for you and all areas of your audience


I'm so proud of u babe ! Love u lots ❤❤❤ know that u have our support at all times and that it's okay to make mistakes !


dodie, you are such a lovely person. i love that you care for your audience so so much and i love that you always try to do the right thing. we make mistakes and that is just what happens in life. so please PLEASE don't feel bad for too long. x


That must've been hard for you to admit, i admire that you did that. I send you Lots of love and strengh. Hold on Doddie :)


Dear Dodie, I honestly love you so so much more than i could ever put in to word i don't think you'd even know if i tried to explain. Seeing you like this breaks my heart but i had to take a step back not necessarily for myself but because holy shit it broke me to see you in this way even made me feel incredibly down. I don't want you to feel embarrassed. I love you endlessly. ❤

Ps. If its any consolation it helped in a sense that despite your YouTube fame you were also human and you still feel things like us. Idk if that make sense. Feel better, love🌹


this was a great follow up video. I think until I watched that video you made with Hazel it never really occurred to me why exactly I stopped watching your snapchat and reading your instagram captions. It was never clear that I was a tiny bit almost about to be triggered and I'm glad that I just subconciously stepped back from that. I'm still a huge supporter of you and I still love your videos though!! I think is great that you realised that oversharing can be a triggering to some and that youre taking the step to move on from sharing that extremely personal and taking that step to be more open to those that know your personally (your friends and such). Now..to end the longest comment I've ever written on any youtube video ever, I hope you (and Hazel too) get mentally stable soon and I can't wait for more healthier content from you!! Sending you all my love!!


I'm really proud of you Dodie. It takes a lot to own up and admit you did something wrong. I know lots of people would have reacted with anger and defensiveness. That fact that you were upset and obviously cared about what the impact it was having really shows how much you're willing to grow. As someone your age, I'm super impressed and inspired by this.


I literally stopped watching your videos a few months ago because I did feel like your mental health was becoming your "brand" but I was so happy when I saw your video with Hazel and now this one. You've grown so much Dodie and I'm really happy that you have recognised what was happening and are making a change for you. Love u dodes 💛


You didn't mess up Dodie. We all cope as best we can. You've done incredibly well. You're not glorifying anything, in my opinion. Your strength is an inspiration.


Hi Dodie<br>I'm your sister's age and I like these videos because it's something that I really relate to. It's the main reason why I love your videos. I know it isn't healthy for you to share this much but these do help some people. Also I will be at summer in the city and will be there on Sunday

Hi Dodie
I'm your sister's age and I like these videos because it's something that I really relate to. It's the main reason why I love your videos. I know it isn't healthy for you to share this much but these do help some people. Also I will be at summer in the city and will be there on Sunday


I think this decision is very healthy for you. Boundaries are important!! I actually had to stop watching your sc's for a while because I just couldn't handle them... But I'm so glad you'll help and nurture yourself in a healthy way now. Ilysm Dodie, keep swimming 💕


Admitting that you were indeed doing something wrong and learning from it is so mature and strong of you to do, especially since being open with your audience and sharing this stuff has been a big part of your "brand". Now it's time to not slip back into old behaviors and move forward, and I know that you are more than capable of doing so. God bless Dodes, I really hope you are able to one day find peace through the madness, Love you loads!


Do what ever you want to do Dodie. You help me, and you might help otherS. It's up to you to decide if you don't want to do it. I have to share a lot too to process. If people need to stop reading and seeing your content, that's their problem. You aren't in charge of what they do. Do you!


Dodie don't feel sorry. You learned a lot from your mistakes and so did we (I).<br>We (I) won't love you less, remember that <3

Dodie don't feel sorry. You learned a lot from your mistakes and so did we (I).
We (I) won't love you less, remember that <3


Thank you for apologizing to your audience. A lot of other people have shared the same thoughts as me already so I'll just say that - as embarrassed as you might feel about this whole thing, coming out with a video like this also models the kind of self-awareness that even many adults lack, especially when it comes to how we conduct ourselves online! So thank you also for sharing this part of your journey <3


dodie, I have sent you an insta message (slytherita64 😉😉) about the vid with Hazel, and I am so so so proud of you for this. For an up and coming youtuber (ech), more and more people have their eyes on you everyday, to make a video like this, it's honestly applaud worthy. For once! A YouTuber owning up to their mistakes and acknowledging that they had fucked up and might not be the perfect human being! wOw!

I'm so glad that I have stuck with you and grown with you. You really have helped people like me who have struggled with brain shit in the past. Thank you for being so brave dodie. I love you so much.


Dodie I think treating us like your wee sister is a good idea. It's good to know when you're not doing okay and it does make us feel like we're not alone, but you are right, you don't want it to become part of your brand and you don't want to trigger people who have already come so far with dealing with their mental illness or people who are still having a hard time with it. I'm so glad that you're getting help and that sharing online makes your weight a bit lighter, and I'm also glad you're finding that balance between informing and over sharing. I'm off to do some self care and have a cup of tea. Love you dodie❤


I think it really helped me too. Like I was looking at someone who I aspire to be like, who's wonderful and kind and loved by so many who's still having these same damaging thoughts as me. It made me feel less alone and less like a monster. I'll be really upset if you do start treating us like your "little sister" dodie, but I'll understand why if you need to do that


You are so 'mentaly smart', its amazing. Thank you for this vidio. I have been watching you since you were seventeen (im seventeen, and im nearly eight ;))
You are growing to be a beautiful, talented, smart, kind, and sensetive young woman. I am 19 years old, dealing with borderline personality didorder, anxiety disorder, pannic attacs, depresdion and anorexia.
My mom died from cancer this year, your song 'I knew you once' fits her perfectly. When i went to visit her at her grave i put on that song on my phone for her to listen, with my therapist beside me.
You are a true insparation to me.
Sending love from israel xxxx


Doddie... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I was honestly debating over the unsubscribe/subscribe button at the start of this video, I truly was not sure of what to expect. I love you, but lately the snaps and the vlogs became too much. It pained me to see all your talent to be shadowed by your depression, as if your mental illness was all you were. It hurt. I'm sixteen, and altho I do not suffer from mental illness I've had friends who have... And I've had friendships crushed because they've slipped out of my hands, helplessly. And this reminded me of her, and it hurt. Thank you so much for being mature and confronting your doubts face to face. I love you, and I accept your apology. While it did hurt to see you go on angsty rants, I know we are not perfect. Again, thank you so much. (Oh, and the part that you said you'll treat us like ur lil sis, that just melted my heart!) Xx


Hey Dodie💛, <br>here's a tip: when I'm depressed or I have anxiety or whatever, it really works for me to talk and share as you say, but since I don't want to influence my friends or concern my family, I usually talk to the wall 😂 and I respond to myself as if I were someone else, you can even record it if you feel more comfortable but then you don't have to edit it or upload it, although you can keep it for yourself and watch it months later when you already are okay and then trust me you will feel proud, cause it will be like" I wasn't okay but right now I really am" it will be proof of your strength and development . I'm sorry I can't help with more than that  but I really wish you get better. Xoxo💛

I really admire your honesty and strength. Im assuming to speak for many people when I say that were not mad at you at all. I it helps, do it. When not, dont. Love you Dodie, hope you will be okay :3


I'm happy that you realized all of this but don't feel ashamed or bad. It's ok to make mistakes, who are we to judge. I love you ❤


It's okay, we understand why, I overshare whenever I am suffering too! It's really hard because you just want somebody to hear you! And when you feel bad you feel like people need to know how you feel!! (I always delete posts like that the next morning whoops) Your posts are so relatable and I wanna scoop you up and give you a cuddle! I know how you feel and why you post things when you feel the way you do! Unlike you though when I post things, I can delete them and for the most part people don't really see them so I don't have to be as careful - look after yourself too x x


excited to see your personal growth. i just hope you don't feel that you CAN'T share. i just want you to be happy, whatever it takes


WE LOVE U DODIE!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!! ❤❤❤


It's up to you how much you share. I know social media can be really unhealthy, but if it helps you, then do it. Maybe do it in a more censored way - less harrowing detail and more general "I'm not okay". It's helped me so much to hear I'm not alone. The honesty might be over the top, but it's really helped in some ways. No one gives you that clarity and honesty, and I know when I'm in the depths of it, I feel like I'm mad. Thank you for making me/us not feel so mad - but good luck with therapy and with the tremendous support from your friends, and I look forward to your videos as per. Here's to a hopefully healthier and happier you :) x


My younger sister recently started watching your videos, and I got so scared lol that she was going to fall into patterns or thoughts that you have, I recommended that she stopped watching because I thought it was unsuitable. She didn't listen, so I'm glad you made this dodie. It makes my sisters YouTube a bit safer for her age.


I really want to give you a big long hug rn Dodie!!


"Preach from your scars not your wounds." - Nadia Bolz Webber

Wounds can often be so flooded with so emotion that it becomes unhealthy to share such graphically personal thoughts. We have to give ourselves time to heal so that we can learn and look back and then talk about the injury in a healthier manner. Watching this video just made me think about this.


Don't worry Dodie. I respect that you've noticed the problem and not let it get any worst. Thank you for acknowledging your flaws because we all have them.Xx


everyone does dumb things that they regret dodie. i love you and i know that you are trying so hard and hurting so much. thank you.


I will love and support you no matter what Dodie xx😊


i am very thankful for you, i appreciate you a lot ❤


your such a nice person, please don't worry! you'll get through thisx


honestly for me you talking about all that is going on in your head i can relate to and its good for me because i feel like there is someone out there who feels the same as i do and who understands what goes in my brain and in a way it inspires me try and get better because i dont really care a lot about myself but i care about you so much dodie and i want you to be happy and healthy and so it kinda inspires me to be happy and healthy the same way i want you to be

(sorry if this made no sense)


Stop apologising!!! You have every right to do what what you do! It actually helps other people to!!


I actually really apreciate your posts about mental helth,they are really eye opening and honest.really prefered your uncut version,youtubers edit themselvrs so much they dojt seen real.


Dodie fucking Clark god damn it i am so in love with you. the amount of shit you and your songs have dragged me through recently is amazing you are amazing so fucking amazing. i just ugh i wish more people were like you i wish i had my own pocket sized Dodie for when times get shit. keep being awesome were all gonna get there in the end.


As a person who doesn't have social media, but I believe I am old enough to get it, I have not seen all the post and snapchats- but i believe what you have posted on YouTube has been a right amount of letting us know how you have been and what you are feeling like- but obviously I have not seen these post so I do not know what that is like. I just hope everything goes okay Dodie that you manage to tell someone how it is in a controlled environment and where it is safe.  Good luck we love you


I hadn't even thought you oversharing that much, I actually found it kind of helpful (for myself) because I'm going through something similar, and I don't have the courage to post anything about it online, or the much needed understanding friends and/or family to help. But if this is what you think will be best for you (and for the majority of your audience, which is also important), then by all means, do it! That's our goal as well: to make you feel good! About yourself, about anything anyone could feel good about. Enjoy life!


Don't be embarassed that you've messed up, Dodie! Unfortunately, our mistakes and other people's mistakes, finally lead us to understand what's right and what's not. We wouldn't have learnt otherwise. So, know that it wasn't just a mistake to embarassed for. It was a lesson. I hope you are well! Kisses <3


It's okay to mess up Dodie, it's okay to make mistakes. It's human and we're all humans. Don't be too harsh on yourself for making mistakes, you have realised that maybe it wasn't the best thing to do, you have apologised and you're trying to not do it again, that's all you can do really, and it really means a lot. We love you too, a lot, take care ❤


Dodie we all love and support u and u have made me more aware of mentel health and i thank u for that and no matter what u do on snapchat or instagram we will still be crazy dodie fans u r so inspiring and brave and hedy must have the best sister in ther world to have someone so amazing and strong


I had stopped following you a bit for a while because it was too overwhelming for me. I felt bad because I couldn't relate, I felt like everybody was supporting you and I couldn't. I couldn't because that's not who I am. I feel obviously bad for you, but it made me feel worse to read all these posts. So I'm sorry I got away a bit and wasn't maybe the best supporter. But I'm glad you took that decision. I didn't dare to suggest it before because who am I to judge ? But I really think it's the best decision you could take. I love you dodie !


don't be embarrassed no one's perfect!! ♡


Dodie you are an amazing person celebrate yourself for learning this lesson really and truly celebrate yourself lime eat a load of cake learning this lesson I think is part of your road to recovery (but I might get know fucking nothing) do the cheesy stuff for yourself girlfriend remember we are all still here for you.


In contrast to what many people said, I actually want to say that your posts helped me so much. I myself suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and disassociation. Being on social media I always see perfect lives with no problems in them. But by reading your posts and by seeing how you do have this perfect life, but also have problems with mental health, made me feel less alone. I don't have anyone in my surroundings who has something similar to me. So reading your descriptions of how you felt made me feel like: my problems are real, they are relevant, and I'm not just making it up in my head. Instead of being a person that was avoiding your posts I was actually searching for a post of you on instagram everyday, because it was one of the few things that made me feel at peace and calmer. <br>I know you are going to stop with oversharing now and I'm happy that it will make you feel better. But please don't be embarrassed about the things you shared, because they helped me immensely. I love you

Dodie you're god damn fucking lovely and i don't have a real explanation as to why but this video made me feel happier than it should've. I agree that your oversharing was a bit much and not the healthiest for you or some members of your audience, but from my point of view (and now thanks to this video too) it all in a way increased the respect i have for you. I'm glad you've taken a step back and now you're taking 3 steps forward, and i'm happy you're learning. Again you're a wonderful human being and i appreciate everything you do and create and share


Please dont feel tooo sorry and bad. Your over sharing made me feel a lot less alone when I was down! Thanks for that.


I am not on instagram or snapchat, so I never felt you were oversharing at all. I guess it's all in there, but in youtube you haven't. We love you and support you.


This is what you need to do. Go on and record your feelings. But wait at least 24 hours before you post the video. Also watch it all the way through before you decide to finally post it. I once knew an old black gentleman. And he would always say about what bad things that were or had happened. Things will be different in 24 hours. And you know... he was always right. In 24 hours my thoughts or feelings had changed. The event or my feelings were not as bad as I originally thought.


I totally get the criticism you've had but also want to say that I get your inclination to share lol I have constant dpdr too and vent on tumblr probably a bit too much - I feel dp is v isolating because no ones very familiar with it so airing this to people irl can sometimes feel more alienating. Personally I've liked watching your vids because it was something to relate to but i do see where others are coming from due to the size/age of your audience :) wish ya well


Really related to the part where you go to your phone as a coping mechanism. And It's easy not to realise it. I think if I didn't have distractions like these I would have to look at all my sadness in the face and the idea is much better buried


Yaaaaay veda also love you and you did the right thing dodie


What were the pictures she posted where she shared too much?

Anyways, dodie I'm very proud that you took everyone's advice and made a sincere apology and see your mistake and adjusted them :).


Head up girl, sending a looottttaa love X


i feel like you need this app called 'project toe'. it is where you can rant about your mental health in every detail and real people can message you or comment helpful and constructive comments on your post.
there are alot of people on there who could seem triggering to some people as there are thousands of posts about what people are feeling however i feel like this is what dodie needs. it helped me and still does a year on.
remember, we're here for you  <3


Uff, I really think you can give yourself a break!!! You are a human being and of course sometimes you make mistakes. I appreciate the fact that you are not pretending to be flawless or to have that perfect life. Try to share it in a healthy way, which does not harm you. I dunno if that helps, but I always imagine my far in the future kids to look at my Instagram posts . I want them to understand parts of me, but I do not want them to be scared or concerned or confused.


Dodie if it helps to talk about it do but if you want to stop sharing a lot less that's ok too❤


Anyone else want to jump into the screen and just give the smol bean a hug?


gorgeous girl, don't feel guilty for oversharing. yes you may have said too much, and yes it is probably for the best to tone it down from now on, but try not to blame yourself for anything. you couldn't have known the effect it was going to have on some people. you learnt from this experience, you are still growing as a person and discovering what it truly means to be YOU, so just make sure you don't beat yourself up for oversharing a little. we care about you a lot, even if we are a whole bunch of strangers. keep communicating the thoughts from that head of yours, but through less direct ways: your gorgeous music is a perfect example of this, as lyrics and poetry have to be analysed to understand what they mean. that way, only people who either know what you are going through/ people who are determined to find out what your lyrics mean, will be able to understand. music is a beautiful language to communicate our painful thoughts, without people feeling overwhelmed, and you (an extremely talented musician i must say!!) know that best of all. keep fighting dodie, things get better. even when it feels like nothing ever will again, i promise you they do, and your audience will always have your back and be here to support you. i love you and thank you for being a huge inspiration to me <3


Don't be sorry, if it helps you then anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to watch xxx


I'm sorry for you. I love you. Don't cry. You deserve to be happy.


Dear dodie,

I can tell that you like to talk about your problems on camera, so why not try and record yourself on camera but don't post it! Although it does help a lot of people when you talk about it (like me), there are alot of people who dont like seeing you that way! Also, look for positive things that you are doing in the future, like sitc or veda! Remember that its healthy to talk about your problems and not bottle them up!

I love you dodie! You're a real inspiration💕💕


I really hope your next therapist is better ♥


Okay, this Video is wonderful in a way that you deal with the comments under the last one. But some of the videos under the last one were just totally unfair and not true at all and it makes me hurt, that you seem to feel sad and guilty about sharing how you felt. Like, I get it when people get triggered. For everyone the trigger can be something completely ridiculous to someone else, so I am in no position to say they shouldn't get triggered by something. This does not work like that. But I am sitting here, crying my eyes out because I am having right now a bad phase while I am with friends (well atm I am alone bc my friends is off to work, but you get it), I am crying because you seem feel so bad about your mental health issues. This might be completely wrong, but I am getting this vibes from the video. And while it is completely right and important to take a step back, look at the mistakes and correct them, to say sorry for everyone that might be hurt by them, it is also for me hard to accept that those were such horrible mistakes to be sorry off. <br>Because I your posts always helped me Dodie and alone you posting a lot yesterday without ANYTHING about your mental health made my crazy, because I am in a down phase and idk your posts strangely comforted me. Showed me I am not alone. When you aren't depressed then you din't have to share something about it, share your happy moments. But idk, maybe I relied on your posts also a bit to much, in form of comfort etc. But the comments under your last video were wrong, you never glorified mental health issues and idk why they think that. Only because you shared a good looking picture with something sad? Why is that problem? It is more of a problem to constantly pretend that you have perfect life, so that people then feel horrible compared to someone else. But showing flaws or how you feel makes you just more human and everyone else more relate to you and not comparing. Idk this makes me really sad right now. Like the comments under the other video made me so angry and this makes me just fucking cry my eyes out.

Okay, this Video is wonderful in a way that you deal with the comments under the last one. But some of the videos under the last one were just totally unfair and not true at all and it makes me hurt, that you seem to feel sad and guilty about sharing how you felt. Like, I get it when people get triggered. For everyone the trigger can be something completely ridiculous to someone else, so I am in no position to say they shouldn't get triggered by something. This does not work like that. But I am sitting here, crying my eyes out because I am having right now a bad phase while I am with friends (well atm I am alone bc my friends is off to work, but you get it), I am crying because you seem feel so bad about your mental health issues. This might be completely wrong, but I am getting this vibes from the video.

I just want to give you a huge hug and get you a cup of tea and some chocolate x


I love you, I always will xx you have my full support xx


there's an app out there called vent, i use it and its basically for pouring your feelings out and feeling better


dodie they help me too it may sound weired but it does and ive had depression since i was 11 and it helps


Personally I haven't had any issue with your sharing because what you talk about has substance and an insight HOWEVER there is a large culture of youtubers now who do see their channels as personal dairies and use them to share all the negativity they have in their life. It gets justified a lot as being "real" but there are so many people I've had to stop watching because it's not helpful content, it's damaging having to hear about so many people's problems (or just boring moans) all the time, when to so many YouTube is an escape from all that. I'm not looking for someone to be happy all the time but for a few it comes across as a self obsession to the point where I feel real like friends would be bored of it and want to talk about something else.

The first person I think of when I read this is VelvetGh0st haha 😂😂


Dodie, you did nothing wrong knowingly.
Mental health blurs the lines of perception and it really isn't your fault.
I have so many mental health problems and for me, you were someone to relate to, not someone to shy away from!
I adore you. I have tickets for your tour, I met you last year, I watch every video religiously, and for me in particular, despite my own problems, you were someone to relate to.
Not everyone who has these problems takes a step back, I know me and my friends haven't.
You haven't done anything wrong on purpose! You have to remember that, you have to give yourself some leeway. I think yes, don't use social media as an outlet because some people could be triggered from it etc., but you already have other ways to deal with it from the sounds of it, and if you think about it, by gaining that therapist and that advice from Dan, you are already dealing with it.
You can do this.
I believe in you.
I love you.
Be safe.
Xxxxxxxxxx


DODIE !!!! hun I think you've forgotten your a mudcian !!! turn it into a song !!! get well soon babe your so strong


dodie, you don't need to apologise, because if people really like you, then they would understand and just let you do whatever you need to do to feel better. we all care about you here and will support you no matter what, and if some people don't, then they don't  truly like you. you don't need to   be so sorry about this because it's not your fault, just your minds way of coping. i'm not saying that it's right that people are feeling like it makes them upset reading it, but maybe they can just not read the captions (just an idea) ❤


This was very important, but u do not have to feel sorry, we were only worried for your own mental wellbeing, love you


I don't really understand how it's bad, you're just sharing your own feelings? It's not like you're encouraging others to feel that way, but I guess I don't know how it effects other people who might think differently


We are all flawed humans who all make mistakes, try not to be too upset about it, there's no point in worrying about the past because there's absouloutly nothing you you can do to change it. As long as you learn from it that's what matters. We all hate seeing you upset so please, if you're feeling shit talk to someone they won't think you're being a burden I know that's hard to believe but trust me💛


Dodie, Dodie, Dodie... You don't have to feel so shattered by this. Everyone struggles with something. It's just especially hard when you have 640,000+ people watching your every social media move. I'm sure most of us understand that things are hard. And I'm sure most of us just want you to do what you need to feel better. But yes, you do need to be careful. Learn from this and move forward. You're lovely, as always. Don't stress too much. Let's just paint the world yellow and move on. :)


dear dodie, (please try and get dodie to see this)

i do think you did overshare. but that's fine (especially now that you've pointed out). to be honest i never could read your captions but even though i know it wasn't healthy to share as much as you were but it's better than storing it inside and keeping it in you until end up worse than you were.
there's no need for you to feel bad. i guess sometimes it's easy to forget that you have a large audience who can be easily effective. now please just don't do the complete opposite thing and close up. if you do begin to feel guilty for passing on your "emotional baggage", (talking from experience) talk more.
at this part of the comment i was going to type up my personal experiences and how i can relate but, i've become so uptight about the way my brain works, i can't even type it out on a youtube comment that isn't even in the slightest way related to my personal life.
don't become like me and become so closed off where you can't even write about it.
the main thing to remember is it's okay but, just in the right place at the right time.
(and yes dodie i forgive you and you HAVE NO REASON to feel guilty. it wasn't you typing those captions)


Dodie you shouldn't be sorry. All you have done is show people what mental illness actually looks like! It's got a stigma that needs to be thrown out the window. Xx


Dodie , you talk about your mental health soooo much but then you talk about how that doesn't define you even though it's basically all you talk about


It's a different sort of oversharing. What's begun to happen is you discussing the difficulties and all the struggles- but over time you've given less and less morals with it. Which is just because u got ahead of yourself and we all do that sometimes. There was just less and less proof of your progress which can hurt yourself- to focus on how little good u have. And for ur audience. Anyway- you're doing great ok?


Babe. You have so many people who care so deeply about you. All of us, we care so, so deeply. But we can't help you, however much we want to, we can't be there, with you, to tell you it's going to be ok. You have people who love you so much, and  can help you heal. Find that person who you can spill out everything inside you onto. Let them put there arms around you, let them tell you everything's going to be ok. Let yourself believe it. Let yourself break. Let yourself break into hundreds of thousands of pieces, pick them up, and make them beautiful again.

There's a beautiful Japanese ancient art called kintsukoroi, where broken pottery is taken and repaired with gold.  it's believed that the more breaks a piece has, the more resilient and beautiful it is. We all have broken inside of us, and that what makes us beautiful. That pot can't fix itself. Find the gold in your life, and find those artists to help you fix it. We love you ❤


oh wow I'm crying now. i also have don't things like this. on my Twitter i sometimes have some of my frustrations with my identity and my stressful life and health leak through and i don't want people to see that side of me because i overshare to much... I'm doin it now got DANM


I SWEAR TO THE LORD I WILL PERSONALLY FIGHT EVERYONE WHO SAID SHE WAS OVERSHARING my baby was so close to crying so many times in this video and I can't handle that. I know some people don't like to see mental stuff but that's who dodie is and it's so fucking dangerous to tell someone to stop sharing. I don't talk to anyone bc my friends told me I was annoying when I would tell them when I was feeling anxious and I was too embarrassed to tell other people. For the sake of everything good and holy let dodie talk about what she wants.


Messed up? I'm not sure that's a right expression. What you did wasn't that bad. You are being too harsh on yourself


calm down
take it slow
and you dont need to be sorry


Today has been the worst day I can remember. I woke up early(ish), tired and cranky, bc i had to bring my friend back home bc she'd stayed over last night after we went to a party. I'm tired and cranky, my mum drags me to the shops to get a Christmas tree and other shit after we've dropped my friend off, I get home and have a nap bc I'm too tired. I wake up from the nap still knackered, quite frankly feeling worse than before, feeling awfully depressed and like complete shit. I continue on with my day feeling terrible, crying every 10 mins. I decide I need to talk to my mum and ask for a couple of days off school because I'm not mentally well at the moment and i need a break. I burst into tears in front of her and try to tell her I'm feeling worse and worse everyday, but all she says is "it's part of life and being a teen, we're gonna try that therapist I met" and continues on with her day. So I feel worse than before, i decide to do my hw (in tears) until my eyes are red and puffy and hurt the shit out of me. I finally decide fuck it I need a bath; I make my way to the bath and start running it. I leave it for about 5 mins until it's half full and I check the temperature of the water only to find out it's ABSOLUTELY FREEZING so I think Fuck there's not hot water so I burst into tears again bc I can't deal with anything. I then decide to make myself a cup of tea and try some new tea. Turns this wasn't my cup of tea (pun unintended), it was gross. So now I'm here, sat on my bed writing this while crying, again, my head hurting like hell, my eyes bulging out of my head. Dodie has been my therapy all day, I've paused everything today just to watch her videos and lift my spirits up a bit.


you shouldn't be embarrassed at all. i understand why you would share all this. but maybe put a trigger warning on some videos.


Her face and voice calms me...Is that weird? :d


Boundaries will be good for you but don't think you needed to be so very sorry my dear


im so sorry for making such a harsh comment on your last video :(


i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you.


I don't think you are glorifying mental illness in any way.


I'm so happy for you Dodie! I know it's hard and I understand the embarrassment hindsight can give you (I've also been too open on social media) but I'm really really happy that you're feeling better enough to take this step and I'm so looking forward to veda ❤ love you!!


Dodie we love you! I love that you're able to talk about what's going on in you're head, but yes, it's not always the best to put your low thoughts out there. Either way, I love you, we all love you, keep being you 💜


Oh Dodie I just want to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I'm so proud of you for all the learning you're doing. It's so positive to see people acknowledging their mistakes and talking about them. Best of luck to you on your journey!


I can't watch Dodie crying without crying my eyes out. Mate, hang in there, we love you!


Really appreciate your thoughts on this. It's been a balance I've been thinking about a lot lately. Still learning what may be healthy for me. It's encouraging to hear your process so far and how different or similar our process looks like. Thanks for sharing D ☺


i appreciate you. and this. and this discussion. i never comment on videos, but i really truly appreciate you addressing this. as someone with depression, it did become hard for me to hear you talk so graphically about these episodes due to the fact that i have similar awful atrocious episodes and the rest of the time, i can deal. but when they are bad, they are terrible, and it became difficult for me to watch you, someone ive loved for three years now, go through these episodes and make it a normal thing. while removing stigma is such a goal, im so so proud of you for being mature enough to realize your platform and see the difference between the amazing videos youve made about mental health and the graphic snapchats detailing the hardest of nights. thank you thank you thank you and i wish you so much love and joy and hopefully some peace after all this. you truly are a role model, even to an 18 year old.


Dodie I love you for this, I love that you're caring for your viewers even in your darkest place. It's a learning curve I know, but everything in life is. Some people may be saying that they were fine with you sharing so much but not realise how much of an impact it was having subconsciously (myself included). Thank you so much for looking out for us and I look forward to watching you grow further (Also...VEDA YAAAAAAAY)


This video was everything I needed to hear. I am so glad that you are growing in your life journey thingy ❤


i love you so much for this. you're such a strong person for being able to admit your faults and learn from them xx


I'm super proud of you dodie, I really am. ❤


I have so much love for you, Dodie. You've become such a role model for me in so many ways, and this just strengthens that more than ever. It take a great deal of courage to put your whole vulnerable mess of thoughts on social media and then take a step back, realize the consequences and do something about it. You're stronger than you know, and I hope  you can remember during hard times how many people love and support you. Good luck with therapy. It cleanses my mind and soul and I hope it does the same for you. ❤❤❤


I love you, Dodie! I hope the new therapist works out. I hope your mental state gets better. I think it's great that you're admitting your wrongs and correcting them. Seeing you go through these struggles are really inspiring because I struggle myself with depression and OCD. It's nice (but also not nice) to see youtubers that I look up to go through this type of stuff because it makes me feel not alone and that I can make it through this stuff.


thank you for letting us see your growth, however embarrassing it may have been. we're all grateful for how much thought and sympathy you have for your audience. please know that we don't think lesser of you because of your mistakes. and please don't beat yourself up too much because of this 🐝🐝🐝


i've been watching you for a few years now. i've watched you grow and you've helped me grow. this video brought tears to my eyes because i'm so proud of you to choose to make this kind of change for others not just for yourself. I love you and i know it can only get better 😭😘


I'm very proud of you and this video Dodie :)


I'm really proud of you for learning and growing as a human! I want you to know it never bothered me or triggered me (I fight with depression). But I do think it was unhealthy. I hope this doesn't keep you from reaching out and trying to find something to pull you out of the well! Now that you know this can help and make you feel better you can find a healthier outlet for these experiences! I love you dodie and I'm rooting for you! You're so strong and you're so brave and you WILL get through this and have a happy stable life! This won't last forever :) certainly not at the intensity it's at. ♥♥<br>(Also it made me cry when you told me to take care of myself today. It's been a crazy week of taking care of everyone else and I do need to take care of myself now. Thank you!)

i'm so proud of you dodie 💛💛💛i love you so much 💛 stay strong xx


I'm so proud that you've come to this conclusion!! I have so much admiration for you but was concerned about some of the things you were posting and how they could affect some of your audience. Though, I'm so glad you're now trying to draw the line. Please don't feel devastatingly bad about this situation, it's a small mistake, you learned, you apologized, we appreciate it. I love you dods and wish you the very best!!


This is the sweetest video ever. I love you so so so much Dodie. Thank you


I am here for you, I have been through a lot of the same things you are going through and I know how bad it can get at times. It's ok to not know what to do. It's ok to mess up. I love you for you; I'm sure we all do! I admire your courage and hope one day we can meet and I can give you a hug in person!


It's okay!! It's okay to make a mistake and you're handling it in a mature and thoughtful way. You're an amazing part of this community!


Hey Dodie,

We love you. We are proud of you. We appreciate you.

Thank you.


I'm so proud of you Dodie. Being open and true about yourself can be a wonderful thing, but sometimes too much of something is harmful. But even then, I'm proud that you could learn from your mistakes and use this experience to do something good. I've supported you for a long time now and I will continue doing so no matter what. Thank you for being you 💛


Dodie I love you so much and I just want you to know that I support you 💗 thank you for being so open about your mental health, because there such a negative stigma around mental illness. and personally I don't feel like you were glorifying it. You haven't been doing something bad, but I agree that it would be healthier for you and for us as your fans if you step back when you're not feeling well. I hope that you start feeling better soon and that your new therapist works out!! Again, I love you so much 💗💗


dodie, darling, I love you and what you do here on YouTube so much, and I really admire the way you've handled this. I've had an issue with oversharing on snapchat, too, recently, and have finally had to step back for myself. I mean, I only had maybe 20 people seeing my oversharing rants and darkness and really felt the guilt later, when I was feeling lighter. I don't think anyone can really fault you for this, necessarily. In this age of media, it's already hard enough to find boundaries, let alone when you've got such a huge following. Anyway. I think you're doing good in the world, and I hope you see this, and can go easy on yourself a bit. Hope your days get lighter, too.


Dodie, I'm glad that you're going to step back a little, and please remember that we are not asking you to stop advocating for mental health! It is good to see someone talk abt it! Also please don't beat yourself up because of this!


I'm so proud of you and I know that this is hard but I know you will get through this and fight it because you are amazing and strong


I love the idea of treating us like a little sister. We don't want you to just go into your shell and not speak to us, so I think that's a very good medium x


Oh Dodie, wish I could just give you a hug. Your words and the things you have shared have helped me so much. I never knew there was a word for how I feel, much less that other people (especially those I admire/obtain some sort of celebrity) feel the same. Thank you for what you have done and for letting us be able to help heal you a little too. As for this new, refined chapter in your life, you have every right to feel and act how you please. If you need to start filtering what gets put out into the world, please don't let other people make you feel like that's what they have been waiting for. Do it because it's healthy and it's what you need. However you live your life, we are here to support you, and believe you will make the best choices for yourself. Illegitimi non carborundum. ❤


Dodie! When you are better, can you make more Asmr videos? I really love your beautiful voice


Coming from a young audience member, I truly didn't understand what mental illness was like until you said something about it on social media. It made me more aware of how some people have mental illnesses and depression. It made me think of how many people have sadness become their normal. You made me truly understand how much this world needs happiness and joy.
       I didn't understand the importance of being happy and staying happy until you told me what it was like to not be happy. There is a lot of negativity that came from the posts ,but at the same time It made some of us aware of how important it is to reach out to people and support them through anything, even if we don't like them or it goes against what society says is "cool". Because it is unhuman to let someone suffer like that.
      Basically you helped me understand how truly important just talking to someone who is alone at lunch or someone who doesn't really have friends, because they could need help.

(sorry if none of that made since.)


i love you so much and i'm so proud of you and it will get better, it always does even if it sometimes doesn't feel like it :)


it's alright, i think we all can relate to this. you never ever had ill intentions- it's ok to make a mistake. stay safe. ❤


i'm so proud. you don't even know. i literally am going through the same thing. i would talk to random people about my problems bc i didn't want to go through it alone. depressing thought, suicidal thought, stressful times and i go to my snapchat when i'm at my worst. don't be sorry. it's okay. it's human. it's you but it is true for people who gets triggered by sensitive stuff you know. i mean sometimes i feel like it might make me in my feels. it's okay girl. you go :)


Dodes i know you feel bad right now and as a viewer with a lot of the same mental health issues you have, it has been hard for me to see you go through what you've been going through but I feel it's important to recognize all the good you do for people like me. You help make mental illness something that isn't taboo or something to be ashamed of. Plus, I've been struggling a lot with my mental state for the past several months and your music has gotten me through. I listen to it on the train to and from work, while I fall asleep, while I'm showering or cooking or doing anything that leaves me alone with my thoughts. Your voice and your words make me feel less alone. We love you and I really hope you don't feel too bad because you are a good person and even the best of people slip up sometimes <3 much love to ya


Sweetheart, do what you feel is right. I know it's hard for you right now, and I'm proud of you for trying to do whatever can help you. You do overshare some on social media that you shouldn't, but it's fine because we get it. Try to write it in notes, or a piece of paper, or even (I do this) type out a instagram post. Look at it for a bit, then delete it. Delete all of it. Rewrite and make it more positive. Write down what you want to hear. Then post that. Help yourself while helping others. Post what you want to hear, and what you would want to tell others. I love ya dodie. You're great. Be positive, share positivity. :)


this is so so admirable dodie, sending love xxxx


you are a sweet, well-meaning human with your head in a bad place but your heart in the right one. we will always love and support you dodie, and we know that you love and support us as well. ❤


you deserve all the advice and love that you get <3 we'll always be here for you love


almost every single post about your mental health had made me think differently. and more times than less, you have helped me. your song, your art, and your deep words have always helped me or make me think. please dont feel bad. i love you and i can understand where youre coming from. please get better because i love you <3


Dodie, it's ok. You're great, don't go too hard on yourself. If it helps you, it's ok, please don't cry


dont feel bad dodie :-( jst know we are all here for u ❤


I am so inspired by you Dodie and I am super duper excited to see at vidcon australia and I am honestly in the worst position ever and you have always made me happy and I love you so much ❤


expression comes in many forms. It's okay to express in the form of online sharing. The amount of it should be looked at but you're human Dodie and that's the downside of social media. Humans make mistakes. You are not alone Dodie. You are forgiven and those who truly see you as who you are will keep you accountable. :)


I really appreciate you being honest about all this and realizing your mistakes and owning up to them. Talking about mental illness is hard and realizing that you're oversharing can feel so embarrassing and burdensome. Its hard because you wanna destigmatize it and  talk about it and be personal, but you dont wanna romanticize it and trigger people. And then realizing youre oversharing makes you feel even more worthless and worse than you were already feeling. But i really admire you for actually owning up and realizing what was happening. I hope that you start feeling better as well, youre very sweet and talented and even though you make mistakes i think youre a great person.


honestly this has made me take a step back and think about what I share online as well, so thank you. It's okay that you made a mistake, I do it all the time. It's just something to learn from. sometimes I don't really see how my posts affect other people who are also mentally ill so I think it's important for everybody to be hearing this. when I'm in my lowest of lows my first instinct is to post something or go to something and be like haha I'm so depressed I want to die!! but you're right, there are better ways to deal. I really respect where you're coming from and I'm proud of you. I really hope things get better for you in the future. ❤


Aww Dodes!! Seeing you cry genuinely makes me cry! Please don't feel bad for sharing online, we know that it didn't come from a bad place. You were alone and desperate and we understand that. It breaks my heart to see you struggle like this I wish you health, happiness and recovery ❤❤


Dodie please know that your audience will always support you and stand by you. We are so proud of everything you do and everything you've done and we understand that you're only human and you're gonna make mistakes. We as an audience apologyse if we encourage any unhealthy behaviours, but sometimes love  blind, we're trying to work on that. The truth is we just want you to be healthy and happy but it's also okay when you're sad. I know this is just a faceless text on your screen but please know the person on the other end truly cares about you even if we haven't met. I think you're a beautiful and talented person who deserves everything in this world, and please know that I believe and feel everything I'm writing.

So much love from this corner of the world,
A person that thinks you're great.


I don't know if you'll ever see this, but to me, you have helped me endlessly in learning how to open up, share my problems and open up. Thank you for that. You are always and forever forgiven dodie, because you have done so much more good than bad, and you recognised your mistake and you are learning and growing from it. I'm really proud of you for that. Please don't feel embarrassed or ashamed, you've done a good thing. Thanks again for helping me and my messed up head ❤


Dodie, you may not know me, but I just wanted to say that I love you and I am very proud of you 💛


Oh ily dodie! I just want you to be happy and whatever helps you be happy I'm all for. I will support you 100% and so will so many other people ily


I'm not sure what to comment here but i'm so glad you've realised where the boundaries lie, and in a very mature way. I'm 15 so not entirely sure whether i'm allowed to call someone older than me mature, but as part of your audience i think that you're dealing with this issue incredibly well; i'm sure it's not at all easy to find the boundary as a 'social media influencer'. we all support you and think you are an amazing, inspiring human being (and everyone makes mistakes) xxx


I love you Dodie I'm always here for you xoxox


I think this is a very interesting discussion on so many fronts. It seems unfair to call sharing your mental health an attempt to made mental illness part of your brand when it is an experience so inseparable from oneself. I also think it's unfair to assume the actions/feelings of your viewers are entirely your responsibility either. If you feel that's true then maybe adding content/trigger warnings might be helpful. That said, I still think sharing your mental health burdens online is a lot like talking about politics online; you're free to express your feelings as long as you can take the heat and reactions and live with them. But, if you feel it's unhealthy or unsatisfying then I think the idea of drafting posts and making a deal with yourself to sit on them for at least a day might help.

This is a long roundabout comment to say that I don't think this is a problem that you created. The internet is hard and we are all learning how to use it the best we can. Take a breath and you'll figure it out alongside us. Best of luck! <3


I love you so much dodie! We are all mistake making humans okay and you shouldn't feel bad for making mistakes because you are learning from them and becoming a better person because of them xxx


your descriptions were very real and deep, i know what you're talking about. it's okay, much love ❤


Honestly all of your talking about it has helped me and I can understand that its hurting others or bringing others down. I do. But all of what you have been going through has helped me, even the little things you complained about. If i saw on snapchat that you were lying in bed at 4am staring blankly at a wall not even knowing what sleep was, i felt less alone. When i saw you with your friends on a vacation in the places you should be having the best of times and you felt not there and just generally like shit, i felt less alone. So yes sharing less will be helping the younger malleable audience but know that all that youve done was not in vain... No matter how you look at it YOU HAD GOOD INTENTIONS. You're Dodie. You're human. Your brain grows tired more often, your emotions aren't there half of the time and you miss them, your life isnt the way you wish it would be and you dont understand WHY. but its okay. No one can rightfully blame you for wanting to express your situation. Thank you, thank you so very much for being you, for being real.


this video shows how good of a person you are. Most people on the internet are not mature or intelligent enough to do something like this. I'm inspired


I think it's responsible of you that you're owning up to this. This reminds me of Jane Austen's Emma. I just finished watching the BBC version with my sister. I feel like you've been told "Badly done", and you're realizing what you did wrong. But this is how you grow to be a better person, YouTuber, and rolemodel. Nobody has a handbook saying exactly what and what not to do. You learn it.


You're not alone in having made this mistake. As a sensitive person it can be hard to draw lines between what to share and not when it all feels like so much. Hang in there and good job addressing the situation.


Dear Dodie Clark,<br>I stumbled upon your music channel last year on a rainy day in my room in NYC and my life has never been the same since. I want you to know that I love you and we, your audience, love you. As you continue to grow, change, and discover yourself, we will support you and be there to help guide you as best we can. You are human, you are in pain, you are learning, you are growing and once again you are human. This is just apart of your life that you WILL get through eventually. Whether it takes weeks, months, or years, you will get through it.

personally, i never had a problem with your snapchat stories because i was glad that you had a place to vent. i tend to hold all of my emotions within myself until i break (alone), which is why i looked up to you for being able to openly share your feelings. but i do see how oversharing can be just as unhealthy for both yourself and the people around you. anyways, i'm excited to see where your mental health journey takes you. love you dodie!


I can understand how you feel about this (not completely of course) and I'm sorry for your embarrassment and the all realization thing and I know this won't help BUT your posts helped me a lot. Reading that a successful person like you, feels like I do sometimes made me realize that yes, bad mental health is the worst but also that I could keep going and make my dreams come true or at least try to!!! I don't know if I shouldn't have said this but I do believe that you were doing a good thing that maybe needed filters. Btw thank you


My dear, dear Dodie,
Remember, there is no guidebook to how much to share about personal mental health.
You, and others alongside you, are writing that guidebook through this process.
Especially when you feel you crossed a boundary or line.
Be proud of recognizing what you're doing and how you want to change that in the future to better for you and for your followers.
Much love.


You truly are an incredible person dodie


no need to feel bad!! you don't need to be perfect for your audience, we're all human and know how people can make mistakes. It is natural for a lot of people to share a lot about their mental health online and you're not the only one. Just because you have a large audience doesn't mean there isn't room for mistakes, and I think it's really great how you've kept an open dialogue about this situation and how you feel.


I don't have you on snapchat so can't speak for those, but your videos (even the really sad ones) have really helped me. Please don't feel guilty for over sharing online, it's a coping mechanism and like others have pointed out, most people encourage us to talk about mental health online and it's hard to know what's over the line. We are all learning and changing as we learn. Well done for looking at this in such a mature way and trying to change for your fans x


I seriously love you, and don't feel bad about doing certain things I think most of it, you are a WONDERFUL human, everything you truly are and the message I get from you is not something bad, rather I can see the light in your words even coming from a bad state of mental health. We all suffer, we all have pains and that only should make everyone feel more human instead of feeling weak.


sweet dodie, i complete understand what it's like to deal with mental health issues and to find ways to cope with them that work for you but might not be the most healthy in general. i've always stayed updated to see how you've been doing and i've tried my best to support you through both your highs and lows and i always will. the only part that bothered me about you sharing all of your feelings is that it broke my heart that i couldn't help you in the ways i wish i could. but you have so many amazing people ready and 100% willing to support you through anything (i know you're aware of that and i know that doesn't always help, but it's just a reminder). i love you so much and i know we all just want you happy and healthy. i'm sorry this comment isn't very helpful or constructive but i just want you to know that i understand to a certain extent and i will always support you. i love you dodie, you are such an amazing woman and you have inspired me and helped me in so many unimaginable ways. its my number one wish to meet you and make sure i express how much you really mean to me. i love you dodie, thank you for everything and please stay strong ⭐🌻


That was the best possible way to handle the situation, I don't know you obviously, but I'm so proud of you. You've acknowledged where you went wrong and articulated many different levels and sides of this so well. Best of luck with processing all of this, moving on and continuing to improve your own health! Just know that mistakes can be made up for and you're doing it perfectly. <3


babe, you're doing a good thing.. i know it's difficult but you're going to get through and i'm proud of u and i love u


Dodie I love you and your channel and videos and I had a similar thing this school year. I was oversharing about my mental health or situation to my friends, and I had a youtube channel where I shared that a bit too. My "friends" ended up bullying and outcasting me for it, which fucking sucks and im realizing now that it wasn't my fault, but I still know that I need to change and become more emotionally independent. Now I've deleted that youtube channel and im planning to make a new one soon, still making vids about mental health but in a less specific, and more growth focused way. I'm also trying to learn how to be happy without relying on others, not only bc I found that I met the wrong unreliable people before but also even around my reliable friends, I should be able to be happy on my own.


u handled this so maturely & bravely & i hope you're okay


I feel like "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Lana del Rey (original version is beautiful too)is a good song to relate too in times like this. 💕✨🦋


i fucking love you dodie, so much. i'm so sorry but you have helped me beyond measure. just, thank you

who the FUCK ate my half of the croissant


Dodie, even if you felt uncomfortable after sharing your feelings online, you have at least tried to handle these situations on your own way.
Yes, you have a responsibility, to look after yourself and your audience.
That you have been thoughtful about the way you were posting your feelings online, and feeling embarrassed after it, shows me, that you are caring and not ignoring.
You don't have to feel embarrassed. You are a human, you are allowed to make false decisions. I have seen, that you look them in the eye.
You can feel proud of yourself!
It sounds good to me, if you would make a video diary for yourself.
That could be a healthy way, to handle your feelings.
I think you are very brave.
That you have friends, who are actually care about you, is good to know. I think you are in good hands. Sounds that you are very lucky to have them. I love that you are emotional and that you let us now, if you are not feeling alright. I appreciate your honesty.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best, Dodie. x


Dear Dodie,
Please don't feel so bad about this. You made a mistake and it's ok, everyone makes mistakes. I'm not even a little bit mad. I just want you to feel better and I think everyone else here feels the same way.
-Charlotte


good job dodes :) i hope you'll find some bit more healthy coping mechanisms and i wish you the best.


dodie, usually people who are upset don't understand how hard it can be. I, a person just about as young as hedy I completely understand I feel you.


I think what worried me the most was that not only did it become your brand for a while, it became part of your identity. And if you let that happen for too long, you feel safe within your mental illness and unsafe without it. And that can't be healthy.<br>But Dodie, I know you try and you mean well and this was a very mature video to make.  <3

I really hope you don't beat yourself up about any of this too much...  Making mistakes is the absolute worst and it feels awful, but it doesn't define you and you're genuinely so kind and so gentle... Shit happens, but you're learning and growing and that's amazing.


That is okay don't beat yourself up on what you shared or didn't while you were going through it. That is okay! You are doing it right by fixing it as per your realization. Don't stress over it. We all understand. :)  <br>Hug!

i did have to step back and unfollow on instagram/twitter, but i didn't realize why until now..... i never stopped listening to your music though, because you truly are a poetic writer.


Omg dodie so much maturity in this video, <br>idek if it means anything but I'm so proud of you!

Omg dodie so much maturity in this video,
idek if it means anything but I'm so proud of you!


You ever just wanna cuddle someone and just hug them and comfort them and let them cry out their feelings and you just be there and listen. Cause I really wish there was a way for me to be there for you rather than just being one of the other hundreds of thousands subscribers leaving a motivational comment you'll never see. Good luck dodie


Dodie! Don't feel bad. You were self-aware enough to recognize the need for change, and that says a lot about you. I think you should read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. It talks a lot about how we make our anxiety so much worse because we let ourselves become completely identified by those feelings rather than just observing them, which stops us being able to live in the present moment (aka the only moment that ever exists.) I made a video talking about how I think mainstream anxiety advice misses the mark, check it out if you feel inclined! Good luck moving forward. 💜


Unrelated to the video but thank you for the reminder of self-care, in the last couple days I helped my big brother pack to move in with my papa, picked my  papa up from the hospital, made sure my great-grandma safely moved from hospital to her retirement home, went grocery shopping for my papa, applied to two jobs, started packing to move houses, worked and had a full day of online classes, so today was a freak out day where I did important things and now I'm going to make tea and listen to your music,:) so thanks and sorry if this is the oversharing you were talking about:/


Dodie it's okay. this is person growth mentally and maybe go over things you think people might feel triggering just try your best


Dodie
It's okay
I'm glad it helped you
To be honest I couldn't look at your stuff for a long time because it would trigger me into being depressed and depersonalize
I wouldn't want to tell you to stop though
I know how it helps but also how it hurts yourself as well as others
But you did help me realize I have issues with depersonalization and I talked about it to my therapist which is helping me


dodie, you having nothing to be sorry for. personally, I never was affected in a negative way by your posts because you need to know that you're never alone. you need to take care of yourself first. you're handling all of this so well, it's crazy. you're strong. you can make it through. you are beautiful not only on the inside, but as well as out. you have accomplished so much in life. you are doing everything just as it should be handled. you're getting through it. and you deserve so much more love for it. you truly have no need to apologize for your own feelings. all that matters is that you love yourself before others. you need it. just know I and all of us are always here for you. 💛


we could never never never be mad at you for doing something that was a way to ease you're own pain please don't beat yourself up about being someone who has so much on their plate, you are loved and you are light 🌼🌼🌼


No @doddlevloggle post anything you want because that is what makes you who you are, let the weak people weed themselves out the people who really care about you will not judge you for how deep you share! Keep up what ever makes you happy because it is not hurting anyone!


Yo Dodie, I have an idea that might help too (you won't read this but oh well)
I have a similar problem to you, the whole sharing too much, and because I'm quite arty, I was told by my therapist to draw how I was feeling in the moment.
If I were feeling upset in anyway, I would draw my emotions, but I wouldn't be in that drawing for more than half an hour. If you're doing the drawing for too long you could start to ponder in your own sadness, which is bad.
But, if it's a happy drawing, you can stay in it for as long as you like :)
I don't know if you like to draw or not, but I know you like to write. What you could to as an alternative is to write a description of a person or scenery that represents how you're feeling.
I've also heard of people writing in comic strips, which is cool too.
The next time, when you feel upset and you aren't able to write or draw about it, look back at your descriptions or drawings that you did when you were in a good mood, and think about how you can achieve that good mood.
Hope that helps! Maybe...


I think it's awful that comments made you feel like you made a mistake. This is your life and you don't owe it to your followers to filter it. Mental illnesses are hard and people (at least around me) make light of how difficult it is but you always had a way with explaining the hardships with words that brought home all the feelings I'm experiencing without trivialising it. I'm glad you're growing as a person but don't let anyone make you feel guilty for trying to improve yourself. Love you, Dodie 💛


Dodie,  you are without a doubt one of the most influential people in my life. When I was thinking of what I wanted to help the world with when choosing a platform as Miss Gem County (A part of the Miss America Organization), I watched your videos heavily. My thoughts were very similar to yours and I decided to use my status as a way to talk about mental illness and the stigma around it. You greatly affected that decision. You show mental illness in the most real manner I have ever seen. You have shown the best and worst and I really appreciate that. Further, I appreciate this video. You are accepting a mistake you have made and you're fixing it. I can see you trying, and actively working to get better. I love you for that. You mean a lot to me and I hope one day I can meet you in person and hug you for all of the help you've given me. If it helps, when I was at my worst I watched your videos for the first time and you showed me that I wasn't crazy and I could reach out for help, and I did. After struggling for six years I can say confidently that my brain is balanced again and I am happy. I recovered, and you helped me get here. You make mistakes, you are human, but Dodie...you do so much good. Stay safe, beautiful. I hope you smile today.


I think it's really useful to talk about mental health as it is a topic that must be discussed and has helped me a lot because I suffer with awful anxiety. However I do not think putting really graphic stuff is neither helping you or your audience. I do love you and the rest of your content though


OMG DODIE YOU ARE SUCH AN ADORABLE CRIER LIKE EVEN WHEN YOU're BREAKING DOWN YOU'RE ADORABLE. <3 (Also don't cry I love youuuuu)


<b>HUGS</b> please don't feel bad. We all have our ways of coping, you st least now know what to do. I hope that you are happier with the new ways with help. No neep to apologise, your so strong. Thank you Dodie X 😊

*HUGS* please don't feel bad. We all have our ways of coping, you st least now know what to do. I hope that you are happier with the new ways with help. No neep to apologise, your so strong. Thank you Dodie X 😊


Dodie. It's okay to talk about your feelings. We will listen. It doesn't bother me, it helps me tbh. It makes me feel less alone. Depression is a hard thing to explain and when you explain it, it's like you can look into my eyes and see a part of my mind. Don't worry,love. It will all be okay


i saw a comment like this so im summing it up in hopes of you seeing it: youre aware that its good to break the mental health stigma, and you've become to comfortable in that that you've pushed it into something unhealthy. but this was such a good way to deal with this and to apologize, and i think that your mental health just might take a turn for the better :-)


Dodie feel better. Please take care of yourself please. I know it's hard but keep working at it.


i was in a bad place when you uploaded the am i over sharing video so i never made my opinion clear but i don't have snapchat so i don't see that. therefore the instagram posts were in moderation. to me they were like unfinished songs with thoughts and feelings jumbled up on a page. i am only emotional in the sense of myself so none of them had that bigger impact on my other than knowing that i'm not alone. if you do read this i understand you can't and shouldn't pour your heart out like this but please can you turn some of your stories into (more appropriate) songs (or recover social dance i love that to pieces)


DODIE! There is no way, no matter how "graphic" your descriptions of your feelings are, NO ONE CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT BIG BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF YOURS!!!  You say you don't want to negatively influence your impressionable audience but it is healthy for them to know that there are people walking around with similar thoughts and feelings. It is important that they learn how deep depression can plant itself in someone and, if an audience member has depression, knows that they aren't alone. I find everything you express is beneficial in some way because you are essentially talking to yourself and posting what you said. Its kind of amazing to peek into someone's mind and I'm not trying to justify your decision to be at least mindful of what you post, but you should take a deep breath and know that you are not scarring anyone...you shouldn't bully yourself. I'm only 17 and I know a lot less than everything but I do know that you deserve to express yourself. Its up to everyone else to decide whether or not to listen.


dodie, i love you. i love you i love you i love you. and i hope that maybe when you're feeling lonely, you know i'm out there- and that so many of us are out there- loving you. unconditionally. i love you so much.


Am I the only one who doesn't agree with this? Reading & listening to you about your mental health has helped me. It has made me realize that I'm not alone in feeling so fucking terrible. <br>Dodie, I want you to know that you helped me. I want you to know that you did not trigger me; instead, you helped me be more in touch with how I'm feeling. I thank you for it.❤

Dear Dodie,

I know you're probably not reading this, but if you are I want you to know that you are like a role model for me. You accomplish such great things and have wonderful friends that love and care for you. Now I may not know what you're going through but I have a lot of friends who  have depression and suicidal thoughts, and I'm always there to help them out some way, some how. You being like a role model to me it feels like as if I know what you're going through because of the experience I have had with depression. Now even though you might have messed up with oversharing to much I still see you as a person I love dearly and will always will because nobody's perfect and we all make mistakes, I know I have, and I think a lot of people are willing to forgive you. It's also sort of a good thing because it does bring awareness to others. It also let people know that they're are other people in the world who go through the exact same thing.

I just want to say thank you even if it was a mistake of you oversharing it made me realize just how much some people are suffering and that there is always going to be someone to pick you up when you fall. I love you very much Dodie, keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼


honestly if that was an outlet for you, you shouldnt feel bad. if anyone in your audience felt that your content was triggering in any way, (i personally feel) that they should know themselves enough to take a break from the things that might be harming them. you should not have to take responsibility for other people's state of mental health while already dealing with so much on your own. that being said, if sharing in such a way on social media has become more of a crutch that a coping mechanism, i completely understand that you want to end that. (also that its part of your brand. ive noticed that becoming something that i associate you with, so i get if you want to prevent that from being your whole presence online). i really think that you should first focus on whats beneficial for your metal health without having to carry the burden of you entire audience's. anyways, i love you and support you and i hope that however this works out, you become more stable and happy. (agh one last thing. around the time i was first introduced to your stuff, i was going through some serious ocd shit. like not-being-able-to-leave-the-house-because-i-would-break-down type of stuff. and seeing someone older and more mature coping with mental illness and facing similar hardships really helped me. not that i enjoy to see you or anyone else in pain. but that i felt like i finally wasnt alone in my mental health struggles. so yeah. thank you thank you thank you, and i wish you the best


I wish I could just give you a big hug <3


aw dodie sweetheart don't feel bad. it's obvious that u don't want to glorify it,idk how some ppl got that idea. I understand where you're coming from. I hope it gets better for u and that u ultimately feel better in the end. love you and we'll always support you 💛


Dodie it's okay, you haven"t done as much wrong as you think and I think some of the stupider comments are getting to you! As I said elsewhere, do what is healty and makes YOU happy!


aw, dodie its completely fine ;; i think i get where youre coming from. its okay! im really glad you brought up this topic :)


You shouldn't feel bad. I, like other people did as you said had to step back. But only because people care, we will follow you back one day when you feel like your full self and that's okay


i couldn't even get through this video. you shouldn't have to feel sorry for anything you do and what you are.


You don't have to be sorry ,i love your snapchat i love your instagram all the thing you say about mental Health really help me to realize i'm not alone so for that i want to say thank you for helping me thank you for being so amazing carring and lovely i love you a lot . ❤Sorry for the English i'm french❤


I'm really sorry that people have tried to tell you that you should be quiet about what's going on in your head. I think it's beautiful and inspiring that you can share your feelings and thoughts so openly. Most of the time when you post things about how you are feeling, I can relate to it in some way and it makes me feel a lot less alone in the world. You shouldn't have to be embarrassed and apologetic. You should be proud that by saying these things you are helping yourself feel better while helping others at the same time. Again I'm really sorry that you're so sad because I honestly think you're an amazing and intelligent person and you do not deserve to feel like that.


Who else wants the happy doddie back come on doddie we miss you


it makes me hurt to see you cry<br>but you are doing amazing

it makes me hurt to see you cry
but you are doing amazing


Can I just say that I haven't felt you've glorified mental illness all that much. Your posts, while maybe not wise, did show that mental illness is shit and is there a lot and showed just how bad some of the thoughts you get from said illness are. Most of what you said in this video was correct and I'm glad you're able to find another coping mechanism other than your audience but please don't feel you did bad in glorifying mental illness.


I'm sorry and i cant stand seeing you cry... it makes me cry and i just want to say you can't pleas everyone because it was helpful for me knowing what some friends are going though and what that feeling was when i was low but i also don't mind you stoping because its what you want and understand why. i also want to say that its ok that you spilled your thoughts because you learned from them and now know this its not the way to fix things if you wouldn't have done this you maybe would of just locked the feelings away and felt worse. this is just my idea love you lots babe xxx


I don't think you've done anything wrong.  If you feel that you've shared too much, that's fine and up to you.  Don't feel bad for sharing your mental health, though.  I can't speak for everyone, but for me, there is no need to apologize.


Don't feel bad nooo :( it's perfectly okay, I do this a lot, and overshare, when I shouldn't, I suggest downloading the app Pacifica, please look it up because I've found that the most helpful app, everyone on that app is struggling with anxiety and depression mostly and you can share as much as you want there because it's anonymous, hope this helps 💛


It's all part of the learning process. Don't feel bad because you "messed up". If it helps you deal with stuff keep making videos about how you feel, just don't post them! I promise you will feel better someday. There is always another day and the sun will rise again tomorrow.


So I haven't even looked at Dodie's Instagram or Twitter in months, and just look at her video uploads instead -- so, exactly what triggered these two videos...? Could someone please tell me?


its all ok dodie we (or at least i) arent mad at u its not something to be ashamed of


this made me cry ilysm please talk to us i support u 100% 💖


Honestly love, everyone makes mistakes but we are forever faithful to you, we will always be with you


Apology not accepted because you didn't do anything wrong. Glad to hear that you're doing what you think is healthy and moral, though! Grow Dodie grow!


Im always getting sad when she starts to cry, ugh im trash.

Love you.


It's so hard to convey pain, and yes atm I'm pretty fucked up (so maybe I should question my judgement), but my artist side is sad that you will stop conveying pain with words so effectively cos it's such a hard thing to do.<br>It stops my pain being a lonely pain; I feel it with you (not in a creepy way) and God it helps me not feel so fucking alone. even though I am. It's helps...; it helped.

Don't feel bad that you've overshared! You've helped a lot of people and we are extremely grateful. If you ever feel like you need to share things online but want to remain anonymous, try an app like moodtrack. It's basically a diary but you can leave comments (not much of this happens). It's a really lovely app that could potentially help with over sharing, so please try it if you want to!


Dodie its okay babe.
We love you and thats that.
So smile darling it suits you <3


please don't feel bad. even if you did overshare at times your talking about mental illness made me feel less alone. I, too, overshare on twitter and stuff when I'm in one of my depressive episodes, and immediately regret it the next day or so bc it makes my friends uncomfortable. It's hard, because in the moment all you want to do is vent and let the world know what you're struggling with, and it's easy to make that mistake. I guess because you have such a large audience, the impact is tenfold for you. But please don't feel awful, you haven't worsened anyone's mental health by talking about your own, even if it was in too much detail. We love you dodes 💗


i both agree that you should but shouldn't have put all your emotions on the internet?? ok, firstly,, i think its good to kinda have us, your audience to have a little peak at what you're dealing with on social media because it's telling that you're not okay and that you're comfortable enough to share that with us which is totally okay.. but then it also isn't alright because yes the audience on instagram can be young and start to read gory thoughts you write on there which will probably effect them and us. also, it can come off as a cry for help which your friends can see and think that you're not open enough to share with them which isn't the case. it was both a mistake that effected us but was helpful for you. but in the end, it doesn't really matter. what matters is that, you find a way to treat yourself healthily and not on social media. we'll be right here ♡


When dodie started to cry I started to tear up oof ow ow ow . I just wanted to hug her and kiss her head and give her tea and tell her it's okay. Oof ow Dodieeeeee :'(   nooooo its like watching a little puppy crying
