Thank you every one of you who left a kind comment or sent me a word of encouragement. I initially posted this on IG and realized so many other people could resonate with this. if you, too, had dishes piled up for a week, two weeks.. or a month,

you can do it. just start with 5 dishes, 10 dishes. and go from there. we all have it in us, the will to live and live well.

  1. i don’t have any mental problems(i haven’t been diagnosed yet) and the thought of not being able to do simple tasks sort of scares me. there is another baker, Nadiya Hussain, and she has anxiety from being bullied bc she had a dark skintone.

  2. Thank you for sharing this 💕 I relate to this very much. I started taking antidepressants in March. While my depression and anxiety have gotten much better, I still have my days. I also talk myself into small tasks much like this on the harder days ☺️

  3. 안녕하세요 maddyyy, can we have a recipe :0 what is the powder u put in the smoothie-? 고마워~

  4. 2:082:16 is my favorite.. you have such delicate and subtle expressions in your face sometimes, it’s like awe and wonder mixed with contentment and it just makes me so happy. It makes me feel like maybe one day I will feel that way too 🙌🏻😌💖

  5. I’ll be in NY next month (October 2022) I hope u could do a meet & greet 😊 I have a korean friend and I miss her, she’s already back in Korea.

  6. ‘Every motion I take to stay afloat counts…in the midst of a the midst of movement I end up finding it, like a flickering light..:the will to live and to live well’ love it. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

  7. i felt this to my core, i don't know what else to say other than ily and thank you for letting us into your mental health journey!

  8. Your videos are so calm and nice to watch Maddy. I'm 16 now and subscribed just today but can see myself coming back to your channel for your recipes and soothing voice when I've grown up and live by myself. Keep making videos until then. Love, take care:)

  9. This was so relatable and I’m so grateful to you for sharing this. I struggle the exact, same, way. Like this cloud above me makes it nearly impossible for me to see what I need to do next clearly, panic, hesitation, anxiety, fatigue, then defeat. I’ve been feeling this way a lot this week. Everything is so heavy. So hard. But we pick ourselves up and push on. Thank you for your beautiful content and vulnerability.

  10. Hi Maddy this video reminded me that I have to take things one step at a time and work with what I have right now. Be grateful with the present moment. Thank you for sharing. What kind of blender brand are you using? I have a nutri bullet but want to get something more powerful. Thank you so much. 🙂

  11. I didn't know you dealt with anxiety. Sometimes talking helps. Im a great listener…

  12. This speaks to me. It's so difficult sometimes, and there's no particular reason as to why. I wish I could just function normally. But this. I can do this. I can do one task at a time, until I gain momentum. Thank you for helping me feel less lonely in this world 💜

  13. Thank you Maddy. I wasn't expecting this. I've been struggling with keeping up and I didn't even realise how low I was feeling lately. And when I watch this video I wasn't expecting to see myself in it. I wasn't expecting to receive motivation but really thank you. I'll go and study now. It might be nearing the end of the day for me (9pm) but I still have a few hours to spare and I'll use them wisely. I hope where ever you are or what time it is you have a great day.🤍

  14. It's nice to see people being real online. Have a good day ☺

  15. Thank you for this,Maddy. I’m someone who has very severe anxiety, and I’m very prone to getting caught up in my head to the point where I physically can’t make decisions to do anything out of fear. Some days, I feel like I’m drowning in my own mind. I’ve been going through a lot lately, and this felt like a little “keep your chin up” moment for me. A gentle reminder that it doesn’t last forever. That there may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning. Thank you for sharing. ❤

  16. You are so wise, Maddy. Stay strong, not everyday is a good day but sometimes bad days are what we make of it. ❤

  17. Maddy, this video appeared on my YouTube feed and really grateful that it did. Lately, feeling overwhelmed and down lately. House chores need to be attended to. But watching your video made me feel less alone, realized everyone goes through this from time to time and just take baby steps to move forward…..just baby steps. Thank you Maddy.
