I LOVE that you've pointed out the difference between being emotional, and sharing mental illness...being emotional and FEELING so deep is such a beautiful thing that you should always hang on to and it makes me so happy to know that you plan to whilst keeping the darker stuff inside <3 I really really hope your next therapist is better. And I think you're such a smart self-aware STRONG person. Love you so much Doooooodleooooodle <3 <3

Melanie Murphy very much agree with this.
Dodie keeps moving forward.
some would have stopped everything, Dodie keeps going. creating, going to LA. honestly, that makes me so happy.
she's so strong.


to be completely honest yes oversharing about mental health is in fact an unhealthy thing to do online especially to the point where you rely on it, but the fact that you respond to this intelligently and openly with your viewers in a way that has positive intentions as well as an attitude aiming toward growth is really good to see in you dodie i love u


I guess being a 42 y/o man, i'm not in your target audience.
I survive with anxiety and depression. You are lucky to have friends and be able to afford therapists.
I personally think that everyone should always be 100% honest and true to themselves, so i don't believe you can overshare, but i have been told it's not realistic or good, so you are probably right.
I hate the importance society puts on appearances.
I've been told so often that i'm depressing, well guess what, being depressed IS depressing.

Ireallyreally Hategoogle hoping you are doing better. xx


Dodie, thank you for your apology, not for me but for those who were triggered by some of your deepest posts. However, do not let your guilt eat you up and consume you, do not get trapped in a whirlwind of feeling like you've screwed up massively, as we all know your intentions were good and we all want the best for you.

Obviously I can only speak for myself and my opinions and I'd love to hear other sides to this story, however, although some 'fault' rests on your shoulders for uploading potentially triggering content, it is up to a viewer wether they decide to view the content, if you provide adequate trigger warnings, then if someone watches and becomes triggered or upset, they were aware that would happen, so cannot blame you entirely for producing it.

Finally, dear god I love you, you are so raw and open with your audience and I trust you, and I love you, I do not idolise you, I understand you are human and have your faults, but that's what I love about you, you never deceive or lie, I will be honest your music is not my draw to you, but instead the connection, belonging and humanity I can feel emanating from my screen, so thank you dodie for giving us this, and please don't close off, take a step back, think before you post on Snapchat, maybe film it and save it to memories to decide wether to upload it later (even if you do end up with that annoying white box around the edge if it's from camera grrr), for your own sake, and please remember trigger warnings.

IDEA, can we as a collective have like an in joke kinda code thing for trigger warning so instead of dodie having to be like 'OK GUYS TW' she could be like 'ok guys I'm about to share a secret for the mad so be prepared' or something like that ok

I love you dodie, thank you for making me feel whole again

You'll get through this, and everything else

I'm always here for you dodders

And all of your audience

All my love

Xxxxxxxxxxx

Immy Hill Norris best comment. The trigger warning thing is a great idea. But you are so so right about the fact that it is not entirely Dodie's fault if someone gets triggered. I mean a small warning might be a saviour for someone going through a hard time, but equally, we all know Dodie and the kind of content she posts. As you said, it's extremely raw which is what we all love. If anyone complains that her expressing particularly negative feelings is "unexpected" or "without warning", that's just not fair. If it's on snapchat, we can see within seconds how she is feeling and the sort of thing she is about to say. It is then the viewer's choice whether or not to watch the story. It's even easier to skip past an Instagram post. Yes, I understand that many fans don't want to have to keep missing out on her content because they are afraid of being triggered, but that's just who Dodie is and I don't feel like she should have to completely change the way she reacts to situations purely because of this. At times perhaps she may have gone slightly too much into detail, but the negative response on the video was really upsetting.<br>Again, what a good comment. I wish more of her fans thought in this way.

I feel like it is good that you've apologised to people who needed it in this, but I genuinely don't think you should be embarrassed. It was a mistake, and when you did it you had good intentions.

I think, instead of posting immediately from your dark places, taking some time to sit on the writings and recordings you've made and working out what your healthier self thinks is appropriate and comfortable to share may make for a better system.

I really hope you're doing ok after posting these <3

Mermaid Sea You can talk about feeling depressed duh, but maybe don't share your darkest thoughts to a large group of kiddos who idolize you

Mermaid Sea her audience aren't her friends. Her audience consists of young impressionable teens. Pouring her heart out in front of thousands of gullible teens is not only damaging to them, but also to herself. It became an addiction, and she started wallowing in it. That's a problem. And not only is it damaging, but it is also extremely selfish. If she kept on glorifying mental illness, these teens would think it's "cool" to be sick, and you know how obsessed kids are with being "cool". Kids become immersed in that sort of stuff. I bet you she's made quite a few teens fall into depression.

yes, it's a misake to talk about how you feel when you are feeling depressed. How dare she, doesn't she know you have to pretend to be happy and that your life is perfect 24/7???
work out what your ''healthier'' self thinks... well guess what some people with mental illness feel that bad ALL THE TIME, there is no 'healthier self''
if she was your friend and told you how she felt would you tell her not to tell you how she feels again because it's too triggering for you?


The symptoms thing you were talking about reminded me of a poem from Blythe Baird. "I don't know how to talk about the rabbit hole without accidentally inviting you down in it"

Omg this is the most response I've ever had on a comment and I'm glad it was this one! Poetry is lit!

Fuck, that's a perfect way of saying it.

That's insightful as hell friend thank you for that.

softly jess it's called relapse... it's a spoken word poem you can find it on you tube

lol youthought yes. This is actually my favourite poem


You're forgiven you're forgiven you're forgiven we all want you to be well and manage well and heal and you are forgiven
I'm guilty of it too but I don't have thousands to millions of followers across multiple social media platforms
So I guess it's hard because in doing what you want to do (share music, create a community) you automatically have this responsibility which is difficult
So we appreciate you so much and we understand that's tough
<3


Am I the only one sobbing?

Dodie, dodie, dodie. You are an amazing person. I'm so goddamn proud of you. Words cannot describe how proud I am of you. You are so so strong, and you will get through this. I'm proud of you and you are a beautiful, amazing, wonderful music artist and just amazing human being.

I'll see you at your concert xoxo

I think that what Monika Verchvovská means is that you aren't the only one sobbing

Btw I'm sobbing too

+Monika Verchvovská oh, well that's rude


I think it's a good idea to share about your mental health issues and such, just not at the lowest point possible, because like you said, your thoughts are skewed. I do think however, you should share because it definitely does help people like myself to know I'm not alone in my experiences, and that I can still be happy and healthy and kind and productive just like you are. Don't stop sharing, just help yourself get better in low times, and share in good times.


The second Dodie's voice started to break at 1:42 I cried.
I love you Dodie ♥♥♥♥


The fact that you weren't reactive and defensive in this video speaks volumes about your character and your integrity. It takes a lot of maturity and strength to admit when you're wrong, especially to so many people. Your heart is in the right place.

Dodie in a way you've helped some people realise how you feel and how it feels to have these symptoms, don't be embarrassed by what you've done at first you may regret it but it's fine YOU'RE ONLY HUMAN AFTER ALL (I had to) just maybe spread awareness in a different way. We love you we are here supporting you keep going and things will be ok, you feel like you're at rock bottom and that I won't get better but THE ONLY WAY IS UP, BABY (I'm just full of song references) things can only get better from a worse situation.


Dodie, maybe start an anonymous blog? That way you can share your experiences but you won't be tied to your mental health


"We need to remove the stigma of mental illness"
"I don't like the way she's speaking about her experience, it's romanticising mental illness"
My mental health is ok and i don't really know Dodie's story,  but gee this is tough. I guess it comes down to what end is being served by the sharing, and if it pursues healing - but even then who are we to judge or censor, we can simply choose to not watch. Her choice to share comes from a place of truth.


hey Dodie,
i think you said some really wise and especially true words in this video and i feel like you' ve just learned one more thing about yourself and learning about yourself is a big part of life. I totally understand why you' re making this video saying sorry that you may have posted things some (younger) people shouldn't have and dont want to read. But also you need to remember that we can only learn out of our own experiences and because you've shared your thoughts of when you were quite down, you kinda had to finish this and also share what you leraned out of that. So what I want to say is that it was the right and a very good decicion to say/share the things you said in that video because it showed that you care about your audience like a friend and I think being told you made a right decision always feels good.
hopefully its kinda understandable what i tried to say, i wasnt sure about how to express my thoughts (also i'm not english; ) )
+doddlevloggle


You being so genuine is one of my favorite parts of this channel and why I subscribe to you! I just want to say that don't think you should heavily curate your content so that people can easily digest it.   Please please please don't put up a fake front for your audience, like I see so many YouTubers doing. I think it's okay to not be a "perfect Dodie" with all the answers. I like your videos and never shy away from them because it's the real you and you know how to speak your mind and be candid. I wish more people were like you and told the entire story instead of keeping things private and hiding the bad, only showing the good. Metal Heath can be a hard topic for you and an audience to digest because it is a hard thing to deal with. But, you don't need to be some perfect person that has all the answers figured out and knows how to solve these mental health problems when you are dealing with it yourself that is not the point of youtube. Youtube is just a portrayal of you, your experiences and your thoughts. You can use this as a platform to help people and create more awareness through your mental health experiences but it's not your job to save the world or make people feel good. In all honesty, I enjoy the sad videos almost more than the happy ones because they make me feel something and you as a depersonalized person I'm sure you understand that. If your emotion is too hard for people then forget them "a bit madness is key" your audience is impressionable but just because they see you being sad doesn't mean they need to be sad too, tell them why, give them resources and YES don't glorify the sadness. Your pain can only be a lesson if you teach the lesson not just show the effects. Posting in a healthy way is a good idea, thinking things through is a good idea... maybe waiting to post a tweet until the next morning and seeing if it's still a good idea. Is it helping you? More importantly, Is it helping anyone else? Like I said it's not your job to help people but you have the opportunity to so use it! Not everything with mental illness is a trigger if it is framed in the right context. I just really think it would be a shame if this channel became a less genuine place because I think that is one of your true strengths. Love watching your videos. Thanks for teaching me new things and sharing so much of yourself I wish this was something that more people had a safe space to do. <3


all those who want to wrap dodie up in a blanket, make her tea and give her a kitten; raise your hand.

josie fraser Why don't people know the purpose of the semicolon? It doesn't make you look smart. learn its meaning.

I'll need to be an octopus.... I want to hug her so much and tell her it's ok! :)

God looking back at this, I relate to this so damn much. I use to not know the line between sharing a good healthy amount and just spilling everything out about myself at the first encounter I had with someone


I have only recently discovered your music and your vlogs, and I have felt like we had a sort of solidarity.  The darkness of your videos in the lowest of you lows isn't pretty, but neither is mine. You obviously know that sharing is still so important to push back against the stigma of mental illness and you are figuring out when it's best to sit on your content for a while.
I have very very little that I have shared online about some of my darkest times, but my biggest reason for that is I'm afraid for my family to see it.  My mom once asked me, "Why would you rather share with strangers than me? Why would you trust them more?"  That was when I could take a step back and see where the red flags were.
I think the word from this video that is most important and sums up the moral of your message is "boundaries."  Please continue to share with us as you are comfortable and deem appropriate.  If you feel like you start sharing too graphic of mental state details maybe start with a little "graphic content" warning of sorts.

Much love to you, Dodie. You are an incredible human being touching so many people's lives in amazing ways.  You have helped me not to feel alone in a lot of situations already.

--Summer


I love you Dodie and i'm so proud of you for this. You're strong. ❤


Dodie, you're incredibly strong and I am incredibly proud of you ❤❤❤ <br>I really think we all are xxx

Dodie, you're incredibly strong and I am incredibly proud of you ❤❤❤
I really think we all are xxx


THIS is what personal growth and being a responsible adult looks like. Being an adult doesn't mean never making mistakes, it means owning up to the ones you've made and making a change. I am SO PROUD OF YOU DODDIE! This had to have been a very difficult video to make, but you handled it very well. I'm so glad that you decided to take the comments on your last video to heart, I think this will be a very positive change. Well done, love! ❤❤❤

StarryRingo THIS COMMENT SAYS IT ALL!!! Also I've never seen anybody say sorry and mean it so much. We are all so bloody proud of you Queen 💛💛💛💛


i know this video is two years old, but this is such a responsible thing for you to do. i personally was never triggered by your mental health posts, i get triggered by different things, but i think it was smart of you to post this video because so many people will benefit from less triggering content. that sounds awful, but i really do admire and love you, dodie. and this was the right thing to do. it's not that it's bad to share your story, i definitely think talking about mental health can take away from the stigma and is an extremely valid and important thing to do. but there's a fine line between talking about your experiences while level-headed and tweeting about wishing you were dead (not quoting any of your tweets, that's a generalization). this video helped me to realize that i was leaning on a certain friend for support too much, and i am going to try and pull back from that so that i can stand on my own two feet for once. thank you so so much dodie, and please don't be afraid to talk about your experiences when you're feeling healthy and safe to do so. we love you dearly and it's important that you know that.

I am so proud of you kind stranger on the internet!! Also glad to know that I'm not the only one here in 2020


You're an amazing and wonderful person, Dodie.  Thank you for caring so much about you're audience. ❤


please don't be sorry dodie, if it helps you, then do what you need to do, i've personally found it helpful hearing you talk openly about your mental health, its refreshing, share how much or little that you feel comfortable with


you're just a person dodie <3 we love you, and im so glad you're learning and growing while somehow   a l s o    teaching us, thankyou so much x


Dodie real talk tho I'm so proud of you this is not an easy thing to do or admit, that takes a lot of humility and maturity and idk just I'm very impressed and pleased that was so good I love you dodie


When I'm in my darkest place I turn to my notes. I love how sincere and mature you're being about all of this. I personally didn't have a problem with what you were posting, but I can see why others would, especially your younger members. The way you've handled all of this says so much about you, and I hope to be half as good as a person as you are one day Dodie. Thank you for being such an inspiration, even in your lowest points. I hope the new therapist helps you recover, and that you know that though it seems like it, you will not have to deal with this forever. I, myself, dealt with depersonalisation and derealisation for a very long time, but that part of my life is now finally over. I know one day it will be for you too. But it can be aggravating until then to live with it. I wish you all the best, and thanks again for just being you. 👍🏻💖🍀


please know that people here love you and i'm very thankful for everything you've done, you've helped me so much and i know for a fact that i'm not the only one. people have different sentitivities for things, but the fact that you're owning up to it so well says so much good about you, please don't blame yourself or beat yourself up over this anymore. you deserve to be happy and i'm saying this with all my honesty. we love you


I feel like I'm the only one who really was thankful for the posts, they made me feel like I'm not alone :/

when i went through some of the toughest times id see her posts and feel less alone it sorta relieved my anxieties at the time.

yeah, true. but i think the point is more to not talk about it immediately as you are going through a low moment. its almost like posting yourself self harming. what would be helpful is talking about it after you stop, that breaks down stigma and helps people, makes themselves feel not alone but isnt harmful.  idk thats just how i see it

Roezu that was gross to read. How selfish of you to think like that. Not only would it be immensely damaging for herself and her young viewers to keep posting when she's in her raw state, but it would also be incredibly selfish. Sure, it's not her job to care for her audience, OR take responsibility for their actions, but how would you feel if you know that you're part of the reason why some kid started cutting him/herself. Her viewers are impressionable young teens, and if she doesn't take some responsibility, it would be just cruel. Not everyone's parents are good parents, so they turn to people like dodie or other you tubers, for support and to relate. Those teens are SO gullible and vulnerable, and it is extremely easy for them to fall into that rabbit hole of depression. At least dodie has realized how selfish of her it was, and she has even said that it was damaging for her as well.

WritingSchiozo101 No one wants Dodie to repress her feelings. It's very important for her to voice how she's feeling, but she also needs to make sure that she's doing it in the right way. When talking about the negative side of mental health, we must make sure we are doing it safely so as not to romanticise, normalise or trigger other people. I thought they explained it very well in Dodie's last video with Hazel, when they were talking about how the snapchats would appear out of nowhere and in such detail. This can be unhealthy and upsetting and even though it would be good for her to remember that, we don't want her to stop talking about her feelings all together.

I agree. I really don't think it's good to encourage her to apologize and repress your feelings.

I'm so glad I found someone else who was thinking this! Like obviously I'm glad Dodie is doing what is best for her and the seeming majority that found them triggering, but I do feel kind of left out and almost alone again because she's decided to stop, like they helped me so much-i learnt and I think became more empathetic and felt less alone because of them.

You should always see a therapist if you're struggling, but seeing a therapist doesn't stop you from wanting to vent & having an audience (young or otherwise) does not make her repsonsible for other peoples lives. If young people are seeing videos like this it is by fault of their carers, not of the creator. It is not a creators job to protect young viewers.

same here! but I understand why some people could be affected, I guess.

Same, they genuinely did help me,  i didn't feel worse for reading them but a little relived and less alone, lots of people say they get depersonalised and you can tell they don't actually understand the depth of what you're suffering and theyre talking about how it is when you're tired and out of it etc, even my counsellor said he didn't really understand what i was trying to explain to him and he was going to have to talk to some of his colleagues and specialists because it's hard to understand when you don't suffer with it. It actually made it so much better knowing someone actually did understand what i was going through as well as me feeling empathetic.

Roezu I know, I was avoiding those videos and posts, so it wasn't really a huge deal for me, I just mean for younger viewers who might not know what will "trigger" them. And I know from experience that that kind of sharing isn't always healthy for the person doing the sharing. Like Dodie was saying that it might not be the best solution for her. Obviously if it helps her, then I say yeah whatever keep doing it, but I was just concerned for her.

Amanda, if they were making you feel bad. Don't watch them. Dodie shouldn't have to act like a robot and not share her struggles because you might get upset. That's on you.

She might be a creator & have an audience. But she's still human and has the right to act as such like everyone else. It's not up to Dodie to protect her younger viewers. That's their parent/carers job. You can't expect a person to take on that kind of responsibilty just because they post online & have an audience, thats ludicrous.

You wouldn't expect your loved ones to hide their struggles from you just so you don't get sad. That would be selfish. That doesn't change just because Dodie has a presence on the internet. Everyone needs to vent and get things off their chest sometimes, and for some people, the internet is the easiest place to do that.

I totally get what you are talking about, and Dodie's videos have personally helped me through crappy times, but I also think that talking about it without a filter can also create a problem with people, especially younger viewers, being negatively influenced and almost copying her. And it's not healthy for Dodie herself. She doesn't get the help she needs by just talking online when she feels crap.

I know, when I was in really dark places they were super helpful, as well as dodie's music and videos. I don't think she needed to apologize. People didn't have to read them or watch them if they were upsetting to them, that was their choice.

Calen Ruiz Omg same all these peeps like "so glad you apologised" and now I'm like "wait so there won't be any more snaps where she talks about her illness in a raw state?😭😭"

I honestly love them.. and I watch her video where she talks about her feelings all the time because they give me comfort and make me feel a lot stonger.

i had no problem with them. they helped me...

Infinite Izzy yes but I think over all it's just reminding you of those feelings and at least for me, it wasn't helping me to get better. I know that it's great feeling like you aren't alone when someone else shares their thoughts and feelings, but in the long run that kind of sharing just makes it harder for Dodie and all her followers to get better. I hope you don't feel alone and get better soon❤

Infinite Izzy same, and now I feel so out of place ???? like, I understand why it's wrong and a political subject but what about the peeps who were helped?? :/


You're amazing and I love watching you grow as a person online because even when you mess up you're so nice about it and you acknowledge it. I love you and thank you for all the things you've done- bad and good. :)


this video is perfect. don't post when you're at your worst, but afterwards it's nice to hear from you. it inspires me when you get through something and you are able to talk comfortably about it after the experience. i love you so much dodie thank you for helping me with things through your art and your words. p.s. don't stress yourself during veda! it's ok if u skip a few days 💕💕💕💕


Good for you, Dodie to get a positive outcome of this. And I love you so much, I'm glad this helped you somewhat at some point!


Thank you, Dodie. This was much needed, and a very mature and HEALTHY response to something you have done wrong


I honestly hope you keep posting that kind of content, it helped me understand what I was going through, that i wasn´t the only one, it made feel like i was not alone. I understand why people say you should stop, but i have always considered you one of the most honest persons on youtube, And I'm scared because i think that sensation of honesty came from the way you talked about your mental health in such a direct and raw way. I hope it doesn't go away .


dodie, this is so incredibly beautiful and mature and amazing. thank you so much, I'm proud of you. Hope you feel better, we all love you


I feel like even though this period of time has felt like a mistake and has felt like you've been doing something bad by oversharing, it has been a great learning experience for you, Dodie. By going through this dark time publicly and learning how to deal with your emotions publicly, you are still teaching people with depression and anxiety how to deal with it. Everything that you've said about yourself and your oversharing and journaling in this video is applicable to anyone.<br>I wish you all the best and healing. <3 No one is mad at you. But I'm glad that you're finding different ways to get through tough times. Reaching out and talking to others (face to face) is always one of the best things to do!

We love you dodie. You're strong and I know you've got this. And we're here for you every step of the way and understand and you're only human and that you make mistakes. Keep on keeping on xx


We love you, dodie, I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to feel this way about EVERYTHING but just know that you are loved and you have helped so many. Thank you, dodie, you are a wonderful human Xx


Thank you for making this video, I didn't know that I needed it but I did.<br>You're awesome Dodie, stay strong and take care, please <3.

Thank you for making this video, I didn't know that I needed it but I did.
You're awesome Dodie, stay strong and take care, please <3.


I can just say I feel your pain and I am so proud of you! I feel like this will help you too, I honestly do. You handled this so well, thank you for helping everyone and continuing to strive to help everyone Dodie 💛 Don't forget the good you've done.


I'm very proud of you and I'm glad you've been able to take a step back and look at your actions on the internet objectively. You've taken responsibility for your mistakes, and for that I thank you. THIS is a good message, allowing younger kids to understand that people make mistakes and not everything should be online. Thank you Dodie, feel better!!!


So you've learned something, and you've grown from it. Well done! You should be so so so proud of this video and this personal development of yours. Lots of love <3


I love you Dodie and really hate that you've been going through all of this. I really hope seeing a therapist helps :) It really helped me when I was going through the worst of my worst. Sending love always <3


It's so nice to see someone owing up to their mistakes. We love you <3


<3 Blessings to you Dodie. I'm sure its hard, but thank you for being willing to be vulnerable.


Dear Dodie

This is a very mature way of dealing with something like this and I think me and fellow viewers appreciate this. I just want to let you know that you are so brave and inspiring. And I hope your new therapist is one you like. Wish you the best of luck on your mental journey

 -Riley <3

1.) i agree so much <br>2.) NAME TWIN !!


We all overshare sometimes, but we don't all apologize for it.

Love and forgive you, Dodie. :)


I've been away recently so this is my first time watching this video, (hope you're having fun at SITC) but there are things I've only told one of my friends and as it's the holidays we've been away. I'm afraid to talk about how I feel but speaking to her really helps, I've been struggling with what I think is social anxiety (as people cause me so much stress and I get so nervous, my heart is beating so fast writing this ahh) but I can't talk to people but so much you've shared online has helped me talk about how I feel. I've also been struggling with feeling spacey and I never know how to describe it but with your help I've managed to say something, but I'm not sure what's happening. You're songs are amazing and have massively inspired my own song writing (nothing's good yet) but there's still a lot to talk about with mental health and young people (being a young person myself). Towards the end of this comment my hands are shaking and it's a very hot day, I hope this comment doesn't get lost on the way to you lol :) the struggle is real (sorry if there's any mistakes - just a tad dyslexic:)) but everything you have done is incredible and I love it

---- (I have no idea what the point of this was ah)

Thank you Dodie For your oversharing but I think you have made the right desition


Thank you for becoming aware of what you've done "wrong" and  I'm so glad you're now dealing with it in a better way, I wish you all the best x


IM SO PROUD OF YOU!! Dodie were here to listen! 💕❤💕❤💕


Dodie if you EVER need to take a step back we will be right here with you.
If you need a break, we will be right here with you.
I am so excited for Veda, I will be right here with you.
We will always be right here with you.


thank you, thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for being so brave, both for sharing your experiences and for admitting that you make mistakes because that really takes a lot of courage. Also, don't beat yourself up too much over this and know that I love you so so much, always.


I love you so much dodie! I think you're coming to a place of realization and healing and I'm really happy about that :)


Dodie it's okay. Stay strong! You've helped me feel a lot less alone in doing this 💖


i really appreciate this!! it's hard to find the boundary between sharing your feelings and normalizing/romanticizing them, and i'm glad you're addressing it!! i hope you begin to feel happier very soon <3


we love you, and we understand that even though you're in a position of "power", you're still human and learning how to deal with emotions, and appreciate you're trying to help yourself by doing these kinds of things 💓


I love you Dodie! Thank you for everything! <3 You're so wonderful.


Honestly, I never comment on any videos at all, but I feel compelled to here. I hope you recognise the importance and significance of this decision you've made. I'm a 21y/o male, so I guess not your typical demographic, but I'm happy to say I love your music & your videos - but I must say, as someone not fully part of the Youtube "fanbase" and able to just see from more of an outsider perspective, I find it so fascinating observing you and your interaction with your audience. Please believe me when I say it is not my intention to be patronising at all here, but obviously a lot of your audience are relatively young and therefore impressionable, and many without a doubt view you as a role model in their life. And as such, I've often thought if I'm honest that perhaps you do overshare too much. To clear that statement up a bit; I have thought you shared personal things which you struggle with that perhaps are just too much (and too "real"?) for the young viewer to take. It is an extremely sensitive transitional phase in a young persons lives, and I often couldn't help but think that exposing them to the level of detail you go into with your mental health might not be having the informative effect you hoped, but rather a genuinely scary and eye-opening effect for many that made them question their own brain too much. Obviously it's good to be aware of your own mental health, but at the same time when you're young you might for instance want to associate yourself with something simply to feel part of it and "included", even if that thing is something unpleasant like the problems you personally face. (Honestly I'm sorry if any of this sounds patronising, it's just very hard to convey into words without it coming across a bit like that).
All of this is to say - this video really pleased me. It pleased me because it showed me that, despite all the awful mental health problems you're going through, you managed to take a step back and recognise a potential problem in what you'd been sharing. I think that shows remarkable courage, maturity, and bravery, which are all incapsulated in this video, and is even potentially a big step forward in your battle overcoming your mental health, as you've managed to take an objective stance on the situation. Seriously, well done for that, that is not easy.
I'll probably go back to never commenting again now, so I'll leave you with this - I hope you know that you're a remarkable young woman, an inspiring role model for young people (something which I think will only strengthen after this video), and with all my heart I wish you the best in your fight against the ugliness you're facing with your brain - you deserve it, and you will get there. Keep being you!

Musical World Even though you're being patronising snd cannot bring yourself to give young people credit?

Musical World as a 16 year old girl who had had depression and anxiety issues, Dodie made me feel like I wasn't alone. I never felt once she was making her illness seem 'special' on late night when I couldn't sleep, or wanting to kill myself, or felt like hurting myself, it was dodie and her music. Dear Happy (I'm pretty sure that's what the song is called) spoke to me and honestly if that's what came out of her being open, honest, and raw about her feelings then goddamnit let her share as much as she wants. Yes I do look up to her and it's not because she seems to he making put depression better than it seems to be. It's because it's raw. It's raw emotion. Its everything that I felt inside but in someone else's words. And I understood. There are multiple occasions where I would just listen to a song of Dodie's and cry or watch her videos until I fell asleep because do you know how easing it was to understand my pain? To understand I wasn't alone? There was a time I couldn't afford a therapist and I turned to music. And now here I am again, turning to music, and I look to dodie to see that I won't get the same feeling of understanding ever again because people like you decided that she had to apologize for her own feelings. She couldn't JUST address it and explain, she had to make an apology video. And yes it was hard and yes I respect that so much but that's how Dodie has always been. Open and honest. I don't understand why everyone waited till she pointed out her own flaws to acknowledge this. She is Dodie fucking Clark and I really think she deserves more than people pointing out everything she's done wrong. Now she's addressed it and apologized and she didn't have to do either. So now what? Where are people like me to go?


I am so freakin' proud of you, Dodie. This is the very best way you could've reacted to all the discussion. You're wonderful.


this is so amazing to see that you're so ready to listen and change and help us and wow you're so wonderful. ☀


As one with anxiety and depression its amazing how relatable this is for me. Dodie, we all love you and wish you the best for your mental health etc.💕this is a heartfelt apology in which we all forgive you for


I love you Dodie, this was a really nicely worded video. I'm so happy to see you growing and realizing your mistakes. It can definitely be painful to have your flaws pointed out to you, but I think you've handled it really well by apologizing (and as a side note since I've seen other people discussing it, I do think it was good and necessary for you to apologize even though you had no bad intentions) and making the decision to improve yourself and find better ways to cope. I commented this on your last video but there definitely is a good way to talk about mental illness and I'm really happy that you're going to find a way to approach that. Proud of you <3


I assure you Dodie, it's okay. You did well. You did an amazing job realizing this and healing like this. You are incredibly brave. I love you <3


Dodes I love you so much. This was so beautifully said and I'm infinitely proud of you. It takes so much strength to reevaluate past actions/words. Please don't succumb to shame or embarrassment because it just hurts to feel that way. We're all learning. You're learning, every one of us is learning, and it's a beautiful thing that we can all learn and grow together.


Love you Dodie! Thank you for being vulnerable and real. 💛


The sad truth is there's no rulebook for how to deal with a mental illness, and with the advent of involved online careers like YouTube still being very much in there infancy this is a path everyone is walking blind. Plus this is a fact of life: we try to cope in the best way possible, we often fail, we screw up, we learn. I've done things in the depths of depression that I know I'll never forgive myself for. What's important (and also paradoxically the hardest goddamn thing) is to listen to people around us and alter our behaviour when we realise we've crossed a line into "unhealthy". I'm so proud of you for finally having the strength to make that move, Dodie. This couldn't have been easy, and I hope it brings you to a better, more stable place down the road. We love you too <3

Maggie Standage-Bowles This is a very nice comment


Hi Dodie, I've never commented on your content before. I have a point of view on this issue of 'over sharing'. I think the message from your friend was a bit harsh. If you're anything like me you're concerned about your effect on other people more than on yourself, and that is what is coming across to me. If you're getting support and an outlet by sharing the darkest things, and it's good for you, then there's nothing wrong with it. Other people have a choice whether they want to view your content or not and I personally relate to, and appreciate your unfiltered videos.


So much love and support for you this was the best thing you could have possibly done and I'm so proud and happy for you- can't wait to see what veda brings!! All the hugs


Dodie, your videos made me realize that I was in an abusive relationship. Your songs have helped me find a gentle outlet for my emotions. And your online personality has always helped me feel less alone. Thank you so much. ❤


I'm so proud of you for making this video Dodie! I really am! This is so responsible and modest of you (I hope modest fits here, English is not my first language ah). Loads of love to you <3


idk how to put all my thoughts into words but i respect you so much for this video. thank you & try not to blame yourself too much. mental illness is a bitch & can convince you to do irrational things. i applaud you for being able to recognize it & apologize. love you dodie 💛


This is really great growth. I'm glad you'll still be working through your feelings, and working through them in a positive way, while still promoting the destigmatization of talking about mental health. While it sounds like most of your audience is younger than you, I'm a bit older, and I'm really really glad I didn't post as much on social media, or have any type of audience on social media when I was even a little bit younger. I've probably posted some dumb things, but I'm more apt to overshare now than even a couple years ago, and I've grown a lottttt over these past few years. I definitely have a lot of respect for younger people with huge audiences like yours, trying to balance your own growth with being a role model. Thank you for being honest about what you're learning about yourself, your process, and your art.


I've loved you for a long, long time, and this is by far one of the best things you've put out there. It's so incredibly mature of you to be able to recognise that some of the things you write are more appropriate for your diary and private collection than to be publicly shared. I've missed seeing just Dodie because she's amazing in every single way. I much prefer to watch the Dodie who just happens to have a mental illness rather than mental illness Dodie because they're two entirely different people. I'm so glad that you're not letting your mental state become who you are. I used to do that and it wasn't healthy. Always keep you and your mental illness separate and remind yourself that you aren't your illness. You are you and you are beautiful and we love you. This is a great decision for you to make and hopefully it'll only get better from here. Love you xx

I just had to learn this lesson recently and I feel this so deeply. Thank you for posting this.


I am so proud of you Dodie. You are absolutely amazing and I really didn't think that I could admire a person as much as I admire you. I love you so much and I'm sending all of my love to you ♡


Dodie, without you talking about depersonalisation I wouldn't have realised I had it. I wouldn't have gone and gotten help and if you didn't talk about it I'd just continue feeling the way I felt so thank you so so much x

+TheLastOne ToAsk  and you're here why?seriously if you unsubbed i dont get why you would waste your time commenting on her video. even if she was romantisizing mental illnesses, she realized her mistake and is trying to better herself. no need to be rude

Shaina G that's like saying that dodie's mental illnesses are all that she is. that's not true. people with depression are not defined by it. they can have good days. good days where they can eat ice cream and feel happy. and yet they can still have bad days were they start in bed and stare at the ceiling. they are not defined by their depression.

TheLastOne ToAsk  what does that even mean? How is recording on a good day romanticizing mental illness? Your point is irrelevant and unsupported. Where does the romanticism come in exactly? Whenever the mental health issue is addressed she expresses her feelings in great depth and it's never a happy video. It's never 'wow my mental illness is so much fun lol' it's always touchy and emotional so yeah, if she wants to make happy videos sometimes when she's not at her lowest then let her. It's great that she has high days to record at all. That doesn't mean her mental illness is a just a lie to gain viewers or that she's romanticizing it. Also, if u unsubscribed then why are u here exactly? To spread more negativity or gain attention? Because you got both so good job.

TheLastOne ToAsk If you unsubscribed then kindly stay out of the comments. Everyone deserves kindness, including Dodie, whether you like her understanding of mental illness or not.

she romantisises mental illness and she knows it, the cute crying girl on the floor awkward and quirky eating ice cream = depression??? she makes it look glamourous at the same time acting like she wants to be real. Its gross and im glad my friend and i unsubbed.

Depersonalization isn't something that's talked about as often as anxiety and depression, for example. I agree, it's so great Dodie brought it to light.


Dodie, I am so incredibly proud of you. I've been following you for quite a while now and being able to kind of grow with you has been a blessing. You probably won't read this but I just had to tell you that I love you dearly and you are my inspiration 💛


I'm honestly so proud of you for making this video. Its really mature of you to admite your mistakes and try to change them. I love you so much, things will get better, i promise


It's perfectly okay, and you're so strong and clever to handle it like this. Good job Dodie, we are all very happy with your decisions I'm sure :)


This is such an important video! Thanks for making this, you're so strong✨<br>You will get better, and you will get through this, i promise you ❤

This is such an important video! Thanks for making this, you're so strong✨
You will get better, and you will get through this, i promise you ❤


Sometimes it's really hard to own up and apologize. Your willingness to confront this and admit that what you're doing is wrong is inspiring. You're brave and I'm so happy that you realized you need a change. I hope your new therapist is one you like!


Thank you for doing this Dodie, I personally started to find your content a bit triggering but im glad you addressed this, you're one of my favourite youtubers and it was sad to have to take a step back. Its really great that you've stepped up and done this, its very admirable  what you've done, well done!


You are amazing. No matter what. Mistakes are okay. It's all okay Dodie <3


We love you Dodie, I hope you're able to find peace. No one deserves to be trapped inside themselves. We'll be here when your ready. ❤


I love you dodie and im very proud of you for making this. Though i didnt see any of the posts i know what its like to overshare about my mental health on the internet/ read stuff that caused me to go into that mind state as well.


is it possible to love a human this much

honestly, im not sure, your name says it all

it's dodie anything is possible when you watch dodie

honestly, im not sure your name is the perfect response heheh

honestly, im not sure your name is a perfect response

Am I the only one who has a massive crush on dodie and you can never like dodie to much. She's so amazing and wonderful and sweet and everyone should like her.

We might all explode soon because it truly isn't humanly possible but honestly, I'm not sure.

honestly, im not sure I don't even know anymore, she's everything

honestly, im not sure yes.

It's dodie.

So yes.


This was a great video and message! Thanks Dodie.


I love you dodie!!!!! You’re such an amazing person and I’ll always look up to you!!!! ❤❤❤❤


Thank you for being so mature and it's really nice to see someone own up to the actions. Good on you <3


You are strong Dodie, we love you. Thank you for caring so much. <3


To be honest, the posts never bothered me but I can understand why a lot of people had to stop reading them. It's absolutely okay that you did this "mistake" everyone makes them and you're allowed to make them too. I think you reacted amazingly on this topic and it shows that you've grown so much and I'm really proud of you!
I don't know how much time you spend on your phone but I figured that for me it helps when I put it away for a while. Maybe try to go on holiday without it like Hannah did? (I know you're super busy atm but maybe you'll have a week off and (mental) health is the number 1 priority so I think your audience would understand it).
Im not diagnosed with depersonalisation and I'm not sure if I really have it but I go through phases where I'm so stuck in my head that I don't really see what's happening around me. But right now I'm not spaced out (fingers crossed) and i really hope that you'll get there too 💛


Thank you for being so mature and real about things and facing your mistakes. You've been a real good role model. <3


dodie it's okay. so many people know and understand what you're going through.


dodie, you're wonderful and i love u <3 its important to note that in this day in age, social media has become an outlet for so many people, to share so much about their lives with others and some of it can be very inspiring but also turn bad really fast. to have the technology that we have where we can record our feelings and rant on snapchat in .01 seconds is a convenience in the moment, but you're learning from your mistakes and realizing that social media doesn't mean sharing your personal life. Though its great to be able to know you as a person and to see you in your vulnerable state and for you to advocate and spread awareness for mental illness, its also best for the sake of your mental health to know what lines to cross, which is what you stated and are now aware of, which is great!! i think you handled the situation in a lovely manner and you apologized and were very sincere about it. Stay strong my dear!!


dodie you're one of the most amazing people i know, don't beat yourself too much over this okay we're all here for you:)💕


well done dodie you seem to have turned a corner, and found a way to balance things better <3 sharing your experiences has always made me feel less alone so thank you for that! glad to see you'll be doing it in a healthier way from now on xxxxxxxxx


depersonalization is TERRIFYING i don't think i will ever and I mean ever get used yo(having it . i thought I was going insane but seeing you talk about it made me feel better. people will always criticize. if you feel better sharing your feelings online I say go for it. noatter what one does someone will always feel hurt or amazing because of it its up to you to ultimately decide what you want to do with your decision


Thank you for this video Dodie! I love you so much and will always support you 💚


I'm proud of you for doing this, it shows a lot about your character that you've honestly realized you were wrong and have apologised. Thank you for this.


I'm proud of you for admitting to your mistakes and being able to grow from them. You are a wonderful person Dodie and myself and your other fans know your intentions and acknowledge the positive things that have resulted from what you've shared as well ❤


dodie is such an amazing person. she made an honest mistake, realised it, and <b>apologised</b> wholeheartedly. this honestly might be the first time i've ever seen someone completely own up to something, no excuses, just pure morality. we all love you so much and are 100% supportive of you, no matter wha. <3

dodie is such an amazing person. she made an honest mistake, realised it, and *apologised* wholeheartedly. this honestly might be the first time i've ever seen someone completely own up to something, no excuses, just pure morality. we all love you so much and are 100% supportive of you, no matter wha. <3

YoHarryYou'reAWizard <b>LOVE YOUR USERNAME</b>

YoHarryYou'reAWizard *LOVE YOUR USERNAME*

She actually says sorry that's why I subscribed to her I agree with you

am i the only one who thinks she's apologising when she hasn't made a mistake? it's her platform, she should do as she pleases with it especially when what she was doing helped so many people ://

YoHarryYou'reAWizard I know right this is why I love her so much gah

YoHarryYou'reAWizard That's one thing that I have found I respect SO much about dodie. She doesn't apologize because it's the "right thing to do", she apologizes because she's sorry, truly sorry, and pretty much always gives a "this is what I've learned:". Anytime I have ever been upset or disturbed about something she has posted or done, I've always felt personally addressed in her apology, and because of that, there is always forgiveness for people who want it.

YoHarryYou'reAWizard <br>Now don't beat yourself up over it! You can pretend it was in a cool accent!❤

YoHarryYou'reAWizard
Now don't beat yourself up over it! You can pretend it was in a cool accent!❤

*what. are you jOKING ME that was the dUMBest mistake ok whatever im done


Dodie, this must have been a difficult video to make. I am happy to see you growing and evolving as a human. I know some of your content was quite emotionally graphic but it was not all harmful. I agree that finding a different way to release the emotions and then share them in a healthy way is a great way to go, but the discussion of mental health is good. We are losing the stigma of mental health being something to be embarrassed about and I am so glad. I am 18 and I am just beginning to take control of my mental health and mend myself. So thank you so very much for being an advocate and creating discussion as well as providing outlets for people. Even silly videos about how to make tea are oddly calming and bring me peace. I am glad you are figuring out how to appropriately use social media as well. Thank you. I adore you and what you are doing.


You're being too hard on yourself❤ I'm glad you're learning how to work through things in a healthy way for everyone and i Love that you care about your audience! Make sure to take care of yourself too, you are learning and you are getting better. So proud of you Dodie💛


It takes so much strength to look inwards like this and to realise that you've made a mistake and that there's room for improvement, and I am just so so proud of you. As someone who has a whole lotta mental illness I can empathise with you so very much, and I hope that you can see the incredible light and strength that you have and share. <3


This makes me so upset bc dodies videos really do help me, it makes me feel like I'm not the only one going through this and she puts into words what my mind is like and helps me realise what I'm feeling, every video I watch makes understand so watching this is so hard. I love you dodie, so much and thank you for everything you've done for me


You have handled this in a really mature way. Thank you for being amazing 💛


I'm really so impressed by this video! I just watched the one with hazel, read some comments en then went to this one and I'm feeling happy for you, for the way you dealt with all the different kinds of comment and for how you are able to reflect on your own actions. I think you need to be a really strong person to handle all those opinions and to openly react to them. Thank you for being open about all kinds of stuff, and  I wish you good luck with finding new (better?? ) ways to share things in a way which works for you and might help the audience. Lotsssss of Love, I think you are so so brave!


i've always felt like whenever i was going through something, a couple weeks later you would make a video or snapchat about something really similar. it helped me realize that what i'm feeling and going through isn't a me thing. it happens to others too. i've never seen what you've been posting as oversharing, just you being open with your audience, but i love that you care for us so much. 💛


Glad you could reach this place, Dodie! Obviously you have our support and it's always been so clear that you were sharing as both an outlet for yourself and to open up conversation about mental illness. While a lot that you've said online was way too far I want to say that this last little journey here, from that snapchat story to the video with Hazel and to this video here, has really cleared some things up for me too. I was finding way too much catharsis in you sharing your darkest thoughts and in sharing my own dark thoughts and watching you discuss this with Hazel and reach this conclusion helped me reach my own conclusion that some things are meant to be private and shared only with friends and trained professionals.
Hope your mental illness won't let this embarrassment, shame, or guilt prevent you from sharing what you feel in your art and also with us. We're all just learning how to balance, and I believe you'll get there.
Thanks for everything, Dodie, and the apology is so gratefully accepted. Harsh to say, but this video was needed, and I hope you can feel better after. <3


Thank you for being so honest. It's hard to know where the boundaries are and admit that you were wrong. You are a good egg. I love you x


you have such a pure heart, dodie. you are an angel. i will always be here to support you no matter what. i love you so so much. *hugs*💛

mackenziebrb I love her soooo much and I'm so glad that she is learning and trying to improve.


i have so much respect for you dodie youre so amazing and youre perfect <3


we all love you dodie!!! don't beat yourself up about what's been going on. we all support you and just want you to be as happy as you can!


Dodie, I'm so proud of you for making this decision to keep some mental health stuff more private. It must've been hard dealing with the guilt of oversharing while also not feeling great, but it's admirable that you were able to recognize that the things you were doing weren't healthy for yourself or your audience. You're a human so you're not perfect but we love you no matter what. Remember that you don't  have to completely shut yourself out on Instagram/Snapchat/YouTube, you can still update us on how you're feeling, but maybe with a warning if people don't want to hear it and you don't have to be as detailed. Stay strong 💛


I just wanted to give you a hug when I saw this video. One of the first videos I watched from you was when you were depressed and eating edamame beans. I never saw anyone talk about their depression openly before. It helped me so much to feel that I'm not alone. It inspired me to make a video during May's Mental Health Awareness Month. I've been struggling with what to talk about next because I've dipped back down again in terms of my emotional state, and this video has helped me determine that I should be careful with what I share and when I share. Thanks for being strong and vulnerable. Many of us appreciate it. :)


Dodie, you're human, you have your demons, we understand that and we're here for you. ILY<3


The fact that you can notice these things is so lovely. Things like these make your art so much more meaningful to me. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing such a good job, love. <b>sprinkles love and support everywhere</b>

The fact that you can notice these things is so lovely. Things like these make your art so much more meaningful to me. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing such a good job, love. *sprinkles love and support everywhere*


This is a very great step forward and I am happy for you that you have made this decision. It is absolutely okay to make mistakes and you are just a human being who needs reassurance and I think that should not be forgotten. I'm glad you're taking this step and setting up boundaries ❤❤


so proud of you! honestly, it was very hard for me to follow you lately, i love your music so so much and nothing could change that, but it was very hard to read what you've been writing on your social media (not going to expand on that, i think you read anough comments about that already)<br> i hope i don't sound patronizing  while saying this, i'm not in your position, and though we are the same age, i certainly don't have the same responsibility you have with what i post online, because i simply don't have your larg following. but i really think it is brave to admit when you were wrong, and to have the courage to listen to criticism and not just classify it in your head as people not understanding you (which i quite often do) . I'm proud of you, i'm sure your loved ones are proud of you even more, and i'm glad to hear that this has not discouraged you from talking with your audience about real life topics, but just made you realise that there is a healthier way to do that.

Dodie, I love ho mature your being about this!  I think its so hard now days to not put everything up online, but filming something and then giving it a day or 2 before you upload allows for the massive safety net!


I love the fact that you're learning and growing on how to deal with this issue and I feel very privileged to have witnessed your personal development. Love you :)

(Also hun your skin isn't nearly as bad as you said it was on snapchat don't worry:)


I love you dodie. You're so strong and brave to post this. I have so much respect for you. I promise it will all be okay, and that we are all always here if you need help and support. Stay strong xoxo<br>I just want you to be happy! We know youre not trying to glorify it :) I'm so glad you came to this conclusion!!!

Thank you for this honest video, and honestly so much admiration and respect to you, it's hard sometimes to take that step back and decide what the healthiest thing to do is, for everyone involved. This was a great video.


So proud of you for your last two videos, a very hard and mature thing to do. You had good intentions, probably did overshare tbh, realised this, and then had the balls to apologise. Not many people would do that. And you have brought so much discussion and awareness to mental health and depersonalisation, I hope this positive path continues into the future


thank you for your integrity and having the courage to listen/re-evaluate/figure out how to move forward responsibly and healthily. looking forward to whatever comes next ❤


Oh dodie. You are so raw and this makes my heart so so warm.

You are completely forgiven! You are so so loved. We all make mistakes, we're only human. I am incredibly proud of you for making this and apologizing to so many people. Despite what your brain makes you ~feel~, you are a lively , STRONG woman. We all love you dearly and want to see you grow even more. You are supported always, dear! 💛


There are a million reasons why you are my favourite youtuber. But one of them is that you're so honest and down to earth. Many youtubers only do happy stuff and pretend that there's nothing bad in this world. Which is totally OK, because positivity is great, but bad things happen as well and it's so nice to see a person who's going through the same things and its totally ok when you talk about mental illness because you can prepare younger kids what they might go through later on. Stay strong, Dodie I love you very much!


So happy that you admitted making mistakes. This was a very mature video, thanks dodie :-)


god i love you. i'm so proud of you for this and aaaah this is helping me so much as well. this is what the internet should be like. i'm so so so glad you uploaded this apology and took the time to rectify the situation even when you're already struggling with so many other things. honestly, thank you, this is what i want to listen to/watch when i'm low, this is realistic and i don't really know how to put all my emotions into words (i'm not as intellectual as all these people in the comments), but i just want you to know that i'm really proud and grateful. thank you


Thank you Dodie. Now I'm down but I care about myself, because of you. Thank you Dodie.


I appreciate you making this video. Expression of your feelings is important, but only in a certain way. We love you! I look forward to seeing your growth! <3


so proud of you for this!! thank you so much, i love you x


i am so incredibly thankful and grateful for you as a person. thank you for making both of these videos. the fact that you're imperfect and you make mistakes and the fact that you share those with us helps us learn from those mistakes as well as you. thank you for apologising, but also... you don't need to (i mean you did, but... you get the sentiment). all of the feelings & posts you were doing came from symptoms of the very mental illnesses you were talking about. so we understand. i like what you said about treating your viewers as you would your little sister. i think that's a perfect way to think about it. keep fighting and keep trying and keep being you. i love you. like a sister would.


dodieee! although recently i think you have been sharing a little too much, the amount you shared a while ago was helpful to me. i felt very alone - swallowed by my problems but for someone like you to come online and say "i do struggle but my experiences go into my music and videos" really helped. i learnt to channel my negative emotions into something productive. but i'm also happy about this video too. i'm so glad that you will only share so much with the internet. and that's not only because i think "ahhh this might affect people in a bad way" but because i was very worried about your own health and happiness. i think there's caring about a youtuber and then caring so much you feel like a bit of a therapist. i hope everything goes well for you dodie & i'm really glad to be on your vlogging journey so that when you're big and famous i can tell everyone i was here first! love and hugs, jen xo


Oh man, boundaries are so hard with online sharing. So much respect for your struggle! 💗


dodie this video was so truthful and respectful, it's incredibly how you can apologise, most people couldn't do this. You never intentionally glorified anything, you're very real and raw x


bless you dodie, thank you for this - its such a mature and important thing to do <3 but please don't be embarrassed or grate on yourself for all of this, I just want to give you a massive hug! keep going gal xoxo


Dodie,<br>I love you and I´m so proud of you. Please, don´t cry it´s ok <3

Dodie,
I love you and I´m so proud of you. Please, don´t cry it´s ok <3


don't beat yourself up over this! a mistake was made and now you're correcting it! we don't expect anything more from you. you're human and we love you anyway xxx


Hi Doddie, I appreciate your concern with what you say on the internet when you have your "crises", that is really good. Anyway, i'm trying to help, i know you have a little sister, (I don't know how is your relantionship with her, but I imagine you love her very much) hold on to her, i bet she loves you very much, and when you feeling down think of her, as a little spark of hope, think of all the good messages you recived when you are feeling down. I know i'm saying whats everybody says in this situantion, but is true, Dodie i love you very much, and stay strong, please <3

I just recently lost my big sister, (she comited suicide) and watching your singing videos and you more positive videos helped me a lot, so thank you.


Dodie this was the mature thing to do and I'm so proud of you!


Dodie I love you, and right now I just want you to know you’re loved. No matter what, we all are always learning about ourselves and the world and how we fit in the world. Your true audience loves you and will always be right here with you through anything you experience. Thank you for being honest, it means way more than you know. No one is perfect so don’t expect yourself to be, and understand we love you I LOVE YOU anyways ❤


You are an inspiration, I have always been watching you and haven't been able to get a ticket in time to come see you in Newcastle. I struggle from mental illness and you have helped me through sharing the way you feel. Don't ever be sorry, I love you, we all love you. Thankyou for being you dodie Clark. Xx


I don't follow you on your other socials, so I didn't see the oversharing stuff.  I'm so sorry that you're hurting, and I think you're amazing in general and for making this video.  Lots of love to you.


Thank you for making this video, I admire you for realizing and being willing to admit that you shared a bit too much.
I think it's good to talk about mental health, but there's different ways of doing it. I like the idea of you still recording things, but deciding afterwards if it is something that you want to share.
Some people who I think share their mental health issues in a way that is both honest but also not romanticizing or triggering are: John Green about his OCD and 'What Mia Did Next' about her battle with eating disorder (although it is mostly in the past for her)


I'm really proud of your response to this situation. You saw a place you needed to grow, asked for help in how to do that, and responded maturely with a solution that you feel causes the least amount of harm to yourself and your audience. It's an ongoing process but I've been so impressed in watching it unfold the way it has this last few days.


Dodie you are so loved, you brave soldier we are all so proud of you and so many of us know how difficult this is. We love you so much ❤


Dodie I am so so so incredibly proud of you, for going through this journey in such an open an honest way. It's a learning curve for you, the community of creators, the media and for us as viewers. I'm glad you're happy with the decision you've made and the approach you're now going to take and for the record I think you've navigated this situation expertly and ended up at the best possible (still quite shitty) circumstance. Thank you <3


I just want to brush her hair, sing her songs, tell her it's okay.

Edit: It's amazing how many people feel this way. 💞

Shloka Frank I want her to feel happy  :)

omg i love your comment and i love conan

Midnight Black it's Conan Gray, he's a youtuber

Shloka Frank I like your profile picture!


You're very brave for being able to take this step back, re-evaluate and then make a video about it. I personally don't have an opinion on the oversharing but I'm glad you learnt from this!! Hope you're feeling better x


I just want you to know and remember that I love you so much Dodie, no matter what 💛💛💛


you are amazing, dodddie! you are a very brave and mature person and I apreciate it \nd that's why all of your fans love you! Keep going girl! You're going to get better! We all love you a lot xoxo


dodie i want to thank you. i know that expressing mental health struggles so explicitly can be negative for many people but personally for me it does help. in my darkest moments i revisit all of your videos, both the positive and negative, because it lets me know to keep going ! i respect your decision to keep things more private and i think that will be beneficial, but thank you for helping to keep me going. take care ily 💛


im a year younger than hedy. recently my mental state hasn't been that good and when you started posting more and more detailed (? idk) things i became completely blind to it. it just reminded me that i needed to take a step back and collect myself.
you are such a wonderful person. mistakes happen. and i know, sometimes you feel so embarrassed that you just want everyone to forget it happened. but it did, and you'll learn from it.
much love<3


Dodie, so proud of you for being strong through hard things. I hope you will remember that you can always turn to Jesus no matter what you're feeling. Always.


Dear Dodie,
you are amazing, creative, wonderful and special!
I love watching you on your journey, the bad and good days, kind of walking with you and learning A LOT from you. Some things need to keep private but I love you FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHT AND FEELINGS WITH US even the bad ones.
I know everyone says this but there will be good days and bad days, time may not heal but things will work out.
I'll love you to nuts forever,
Yours
Annie
❤


Dodie, we all love you so much!! There is no need to feel embarrassed, as you're just a human like the rest of us. Have grace on yourself... you're doing a good job 😊💛. Keep your head up and your heart strong! 🌻


i love you dodie, and your care for your audience is beautiful, thank you xxx


We all love you Dodie! I hope you're doing better 💛💛


we all love you for who you are your amazing and truly an inspiration to me and many many more fans. im so proud of you for making this video bc ik this was hard to admit. i love you ❤❤❤


We are proud of you for realizing this. Everybody makes mistakes, we just have to learn from them. Take care <3 <b>hugs you softly</b>

We are proud of you for realizing this. Everybody makes mistakes, we just have to learn from them. Take care <3 *hugs you softly*


we love you so much dodie. we understand that you are going through a tough time and that it might take time to try and navigate your way through your mental illness. take your time, take care of yourself, and remember that we love you and we will be here for you. you can take control and be happy again. it just takes some time. we'll always be here :)


its okay dodie, im sure a lot of your fans, including me, understand why you would have wanted to share online, its alright, because we know that you didnt mean to glorify or romanticize anything, you cant put the blame all on yourself. we were the ones who told you what you were doing was good. we still love you!! stay strong xx


You're giving yourself such a hard time Dodie, always remember: 1. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind and 2. You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think ❤❤


"Of course I don't want to glorify mental illness. Why would I? It's well shit!" Love you Dodie ❤


Hey love you loads glad you've learned lessons 😕 you're helping people aswell don't make it so hard on yourself x


I didn't mind when you shared so much, it felt personal, but I do agree it was very unhealthy for some viewers and even for you. I deal with similar problems, and I'm so sorry you have to go through these things with a huge audience pressuring you to follow their rules and align with their values. Do whatever is best for you, I hope you're feeling well. Love you Dodie xxx

Hannah Adams ^^^^^ hell yes you got this shit right


thank you for making this video, it really makes up for some of the confusions and concerns i think a lot of us have had


I want to hug you so bad. You see, I've always watched your videos, every time you post I'm there. Never have I felt you were oversharing. Some people may feel that way, but overall you haven't in my opinion. I love you, get better, and you will always be my role model and hero. You taught me that having anxiety may be terrible, but used to make gorgeous creations. Just remember sharing is okay to do, and always remember you have all of us supporting you. I love you and have a nice rest of your day. <3 <3
Edit:
Dodie, you can do as you please and if that means venting to us then thats ok. We're your audience and we are supposed to support you no matter what. I want you to be better, and if telling us your problems, then so be it.


I'm honestly so impressed with the way you're dealing with this. You listened to people and took a step back to take a look at what you were doing and then made a decision that affects you personally a lot. I admire you for being open about mental illness, it has helped me a lot. And I admire you for understanding you did something that might not have helped most people, and you try to fix it. Just, thank you for being such a good example of a nice person <3


Dodie! You are such a good and wonderful person who takes care of all your fans/followers/friends! Don't feel bad, you haven't done anything illegal or bad! <3


I love you dodie and I love those posts cause I'm in a similar place and I feel less alone but I am VERY glad that you are figuring yourself out and I hope I can get out of this hole that I am in without your posts


I'm extremely proud of you for this. It makes me sad seeing you sad because it is probably not normal to admire someone as much as I do you. We all love you and I hope that you will feel as happy as you have made me with all of your videos. Hopefully the therapist will help you, because I want you to get better. It is completely normal for me to see emotions poured out into certain things and I'm glad that you feel comfortable in sharing some of this with us. I can't say this for some people because I don't know how they feel, but I will always support you. I completely understand why you made those videos and why you're making this one. Once again, I'm extremely proud and I love you, stay strong💜-Kayla


I have loved your content for a long time due to its truthful nature, and I know that I will continue to love it for a long time. You continue to be a fantastic role model, and I am so proud of how mature and honest you are. I understand that your posts have been a bit dark, but you have taken ownership, and are making an effort to create a positive environment for yourself and others. And that is the most important thing you can do right now. I'm looking forward to veda! Feel better☺


I think it's really great of you to make this video. It's important to realise when you've gone too far and respond to it. This is something to really admire about you. Stay strong and remember that we are all with you xx


this made me cry a little. i'm proud of you dodie because i can see how hard you are trying to be better. you made a mistake and it's okay; you learned from it. i love you so much and you've helped me a lot, thank you 💞


im glad you've learnt this now dodie. i think it's important to note the impressionable audience (sometimes not even younger), just to realise that while you may feel better in the moment, you're actions online affect real people. (reminds me of that film on netflix called to the bone, where the main character drew exclusively about her anorexia and posted it to tumblr, and it caused a girl to die. obviously it is fictional but this kind of stuff does happen) and im in no way saying you are romanticising any mental illness but it can be quite triggering and dangerous for someone who is already in a bad head space. it's ok, we forgive you.


this is an incredible video and honestly i have a lot of respect for you being able to share so much about your mental health and the problems you face, bottling things up isn't helpful either though it's also wonderful that you can find the line of things to share on a public platform like instagram!! everyone makes this journey, not just you, we've all made these kinds of mistakes, you just have so many more eyes on you - which is because you are incredibly talented and you deserve the love you get - but it also means there's a bit more responsibility that people like myself don't have to deal with - i was able to post similar things with less consequences for a while before i also learned about oversharing and how much of myself (the negative side) to put out into the world. you are an inspiration, flaws and all, because everyone is flawed but not everyone has the courage to do what you do. i hope you are looking after yourself, you deserve it, and there will always be people you Can talk to about these things because you have people who love you (and i'm sure you know this). i hope this message makes sense, as someone who has faced similar problems i got a bit emotional!! but, long story short, i support you with my whole heart!!!


Sharing with the internet what you'd share with your little sister is SUCH a good way to think of it, Dodie. x


Upon reflection just like i said on twitter im just like you. I overshared a rant about work on social media and now im in a lot of trouble for it and could face dismissal. I've still got a week till i find out and im so anxious. It made me truely realise that i need to know when to not pour my thoughts and feelings out on social media because i dont help anyone by doing it and it just leads to bad things happening. I guess you have helped me in a way because previously i was just angry at a certain individual who found it and told and at work but you've made me realise my actions have consequences and if it wasnt there in the first place i wouldnt be in this mess.


I'm so glad you apologized. You're a very smart, brave and mature woman and I'm so proud of you. You're one of my favorite musicians, and your personality is one of the reasons for that. ♡


Dodie, you are an amazing person. We are alike we just want to be loved! Luv u keep making vids!!


dodie...i love you so so much for this. often times, whenever i read your super in depth posts, it gives me hope that i might be able to pull myself out of whatever i get in. but sometimes, it makes really sad and worried for you :( but i look up to you so much for being able to share things like this. i can't share shit with my friends because it makes me feel so odd and intrusive. i just love you so much and i'm so proud of you and ugkgkgkg. i love you


I literally just wanted to hug you throughout this whole video. You're so strong and I feel like you're beating yourself up about this when you didn't mean to be triggering. Ily and I'm glad that you have understood that you were slightly over sharing. I hope you feel better


its okay dodie!! this sort of stuff happens to a lot of us, dont be too hard on yourself! we love you.


dodie i feel so proud <br>you handled this in such a mature and brave way, you are so strong omg i love you ❤❤❤

dodie i feel so proud
you handled this in such a mature and brave way, you are so strong omg i love you ❤❤❤


I wasnt sure wether i should say something or not (i try not to talk or share anything online or irl) but i just wanted to give my perspective on this even if it ends up disappearing through the sea of people talking. As someone dealing with dpd and mdd who doesnt talk to anyone about what's happening i aprecciade your videos GREATLY. Whenever i watch your videos it makes me feel a little more connected to people (which i usually feel very far away from) and seeing you talk about what is happening on your daily life makes me feel a little less alone. Whenever i go on snapchat i usually see all of my friends or celebrities going on these great adventures and having the time of their life and i dont think i could feel more disconnected from them than i do; seeing someone talk about the things im usually feeling makes me feel less lonely.  Maybe this doesnt make sense but its like im a submarine  surrounded by fish and suddenly i see another submarine. You talking about how you feel has helped me SO MUCH it helped me get through a rough patch last year and its helped me get better at talking about how i feel. Ive been in a similar position to yours right now, i used to spill everything i had to some friends online because i cant talk about it in my life, and i realized how much of a negative impact it was on my friends. I ended up isolating myself from everyone and stopped talking entirely to anyone, so if theres anything to take as a lesson from my experience is to try and have a balance. I dont think that talking to us about how it's been inside your head is bad but instead of adressing it right when it happens, tell to us about it afterwards (this doesnt mean we should get a lesson out of it or anything like that, dont feel like you have to justify what youre feeling), after youve evaluated what you feel, why you feel it, and how it is or isnt true.


Dodie - I love how you've grown and chosen to share it with us. You're such a wonderful person, and you realized there was an issue, and you dealt with it. We love you!
Also it's raining and 8:30 so I'm not going outside, but maybe tomorrow... :)


When I read your super intense posts, I personally just feel sad for you. All I want to do is give you a hug. When I was in the depths of my mental health struggle, it made me feel good to see them, because I felt like I wasn't the only one who felt certain ways. Nowadays, I'm doing much better, and they no longer make me feel good. However, I just want to say, I love you infinitely. I found your channel when I was in the darkest place I've ever been.You, your music, your videos, your posts helped me sooooo much. I got out of the black hole through extremely rigorous and painful therapy, but during that time, you were a little beam of light shining through the darkness. When I was in a residential treatment program, completely isolated from my family, my friends, my life, I sat on the carpet with my ukulele and played your songs. I will never be able to repay you for what you've done for me, but if nothing else, I want you to know how much I love you. You're so hard on yourself. The only person you should worry about right now is yourself. Oversharing online wasn't good for you, its great that you realized that. But you don't need to apologize to us for that. If it affected people negatively, they didn't have to watch your videos or look at your Instagram. That was their choice. You didn't force it on them. You can't control other people's actions or reactions. You can only do what's good for you. Once again, I have endless love and gratitude for you. You can get through this. You're doing better every day. Even if you don't feel it, I can see it. Even in this video, you're crying! Crying is so healthy and helpful! That's major improvement! You are going to get through this. You can do this. You will do this. You are so strong and beautiful and talented and intelligent and loving and caring and incredible. Stay strong love. Good luck.


I'm proud of you for going through this. I will say reading some of the things you have posted have triggered me and I have had to take a break from your account. I appreciate you apologizing. I love you so so so much, and I'm sorry you've had a hard year. Just know we all love and support you.


i've been through a very similar situation and it sucks. i would tell my friends very graphically about thoughts i was having and what i wanted to do to myself but it caused some of them to become super worried and scared to talk to me. i had to reevaluate and now i have a therapist to tell things too and now my friends seem less wary around me and more like actual FRIENDS and that's because i'm treating them like humans instead of verbal punch bags <br>i stand by you dodie, and i love youuuuu and you can get through this :) (also see you in october!)

As much as this video is sad it is also ironic. I was at a panel at vidcon about making a positive change through social media. You happened to be in it, and somebody asked you "when should i stop sharing and draw the line" and you replied "please let me know" jokingly but i could tell it hurt. I dont know if you remembered but i was the little potato crying my eyes out in the front row. Im just glad you figured out your boundaries and you can learn something from this. ❤❤

MVK Is OK I call everyone who i belive is a nice person a buscuit so you are one!

doddleoddle omg you have no idea how much that means to me...not the crying part but the remember part. Also i am so proud of you for handling this situation so well ❤

I do remember!! Lol potato. You made me cry too <3

This is the sweetest comment I've seen in a while <3

lollie lucille i think being called a biscuit is the greatest compliment i have ever received

MVK Is OK I have liked this comment I think its really lovely and a good message for Dodie Well done you busicuit and to Dodie no matter what We Will Always Love You❤❤

I don't mean to be annoying but please like this for dodes to see, i think its important. ❤


I'm glad to hear you will try to handle things without relying in social media that much. You can always put your heart out in music in a subtler way ;) Either making your own awesome music or just letting other's music lift you up! <3


dodie i have always admired your sense of grace when addressing mental illness but in this video you mentioned about people who have said they have held back from looking at your social media platforms, i have been one of them. I have no intentions on calling you out here or making you feel like you have done anything wrong but as you said it was all very heavy. People look to your channels to hear your music and see your vlogs about happy days, i know i do. mental health should not be the taboo subject it still kind of is but i totally agree there are lines where oversharing has occured and said lines been crossed. keep your chin up dodie. keep us posted on how your brain feels just please post more of what makes you the amazing human being you are today and not what brings you down. much love to you dodie. you really are an inspiration to many. 💖


Dodie, listen to me, it breaks my heart that you have to apologize with tears in your eyes for posting about your struggles. I'm a viewer. I love your posts. Your pictures on instragram with those long captions are my favourite. Your videos about mental health are also so precious to me that I know them word by word. You help me so much. I love you so much. You make me feel less alone and I always want to hug you and tell you that I understand. I've been a viewer for a long time. Often times I wish I could send you videos to share with you my stories and my struggles so that I can help you feel less alone, the way you always do for me. You're wonderful. You're brave. I'm crying rn. I love you.


Dear Dodie,
I'm 12 (13 next week woooooo) and I absolutely love your channel and social media, however, I did find it difficult to watch and/ or read your recent ones as they were quite graphic and triggering for me personally. I want you to know that we're all behind you in this and you are never alone. In no way should you pretend to plaster on a smile when you're at your worst, that'd be so damaging for you, but I hope you can find somewhere to vent your feelings that isn't in front of the masses. I am so so so incredibly proud of you ^_^
Thanks for being such a wonderful human being Dodie! 💖💜💙


For me, it was hugely helpful in my own journey when you shared your video about what mental illnesses you deal with and how you were seeking treatment for them. But I have also stopped watching your snap stories and reading Insta captions. I think figuring out a healthy balance is a great goal and I'm looking forward to veda!Thanks for sharing, Dodie!


Dodie, we all love you and you are special to me. You are my idol ❤


Hi dodie! I hope everything turns out okay for you because you deserve the best, you are such a strong and inspirational person. Make sure you're talking to your friends and not isolating yourself ❤


I think I speak for a large majority of your audience when I say "We love you." We never want you to feel restricted or feel like you have to censor yourself when you post something on Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat etc. On those days when you may feel at your worst or in an unhealthy state, I think we want you to vent in the best way that you think possible. Whether that be journaling, talking with a friend, or even shooting a video just to talk to the camera and never even posting the video. Your life is your life, and I don't think anyone wants to tell you how to run your channel, social medias, or your life. I believe the reason we've been pointing out your tendency to share your feelings on your bad days is because we don't want you to feel like you owe us a video about how you are. Dodie, we love you and care about you. As your friends on the other side of the camera, we want you to do what is best for you and not feel like you owe us in any way. Just like a friend. Do what is best for you. ❤

I don't think it could have been put any better.


Hey Dodie... I normally don't post comments but I wanted to tell you, you have helped me through so much retaliating to my own personal mental state, and my self image when it comes to my sexuality. If sharing your "graphic" details is an outlet that helps you, do it!

I'm sorry we turned your outlet into an unsafe place for you. You do you boo


im so so so proud of your reaction to the responses on this subject. it was a very mature response and i highly respect you for it. thank you for addressing this issue in the manner that you did, especially because i did not realize what effect i was having until these videos.


Apology accepted. I'm so glad you addressed this, and I'm glad you're working on it. The thing I've always admired about you/your channel is your honesty, which I still think is a vital part of why your channel is so great: I never feel like you're lying to your audience. I do think, though, that there's a BIG difference between lying and not-saying-everything-you-feel-right-that-second. (Kinda like when people say "i hate your dress" and then "what I was just being honest"...) - anyway, that wasn't originally my point at all. My point is, I hope (and I believe) you'll find a way to balance honesty with caution - both for your viewers' and your own sake. And I think you've taken the first and second step towards doing that already<3


God, I love you so much. You know your audience, maybe mostly the older portion of your audience (I'm 19, anyone else?), is supportive of you and want to be here. Of course I can see where you bring professionalism into the mix. Please don't be afraid to tell us what's on your mind, we still care and want to make sure you're okay. But just know you're not just a burden or pain, for me personally I found comfort in a lot of your posts because I feel the exact same way, and until I found your channel I hadn't known anyone else to feel these ways. I didn't know how to put depersonalization into words, I didn't know what it meant about me personally when I looked back on my past more than I was looking at myself in the moment. Thank you for sharing your discomfort over this as well, I'm just letting you know that you mean the world to me, and you've helped me break a lot of ground in discovering what's going on in my brain, and I can never thank you enough for that. Bless you, Dodie💜💜💜
