I get a lot of feedback praising my honesty when talking about my own mental heath but I feel like I share only a tiny part of what is really going on. This is a video I shot on a really difficult day to try and share a little more honestly what the bad days look like.

Just watched this in my random PookyTube mode, it was a hard one. You are not dishonest, the exact opposite. You are not self indulgent, you are caring. You are a fighter, a person with great strength and compassion who on this day struggled hard but won eventually. You are a winner, a beautiful person and an inspiration. You will have more days like this but you will overcome them as well. The amount of love shown in the comments is uplifting and I agree with every single comment. I know you are amazing, you are loved.

I wasn't going to watch this today but as I love you, and you have helped me so much, I decided to play it. I am glad I did, obviously not because you are suffering but because your honesty & bravery reinforce my long standing opinion that you are a real STAR Pooky. I am getting old now and you are one of the best & finest people I have ever known.I know it's hard, especially as the therapy is forcing you to deal with things long hidden. But as you acknowledge, it will get better.Luv & hugs

Finally had the mindset I could watch this. The bird calls in the background were soothing. Your emotions were very relatable & both saddening & connecting.

I don't think sharing your own story is self-indulgent. I have found so much strength in hearing other people's stories, watching them deal with their issues. It's so important that we share the reality of mental illness, when we feel safe and able to, as much as possible, there are still far too many people who don't understand or who think they are alone. I hope you are feeling a little better today, even if only marginally. You are amazing.

Hey friend I completely feel where you are coming from. Your videos are so encouraging for me, and have helped me start going through trauma therapy EMDR & Group outpatient. Some of these days, especially going through therapy are horrifically painful. 🙏🏾💙👑 thank you friend, God bless you every day.

Keep going and filming the hard bits help people like myself stay here in the moment knowing we are not alone. I too have struggled to overcome talking and dealing with rape and sexual interference from family members and once I started to get it out of my head and onto paper then talk to other women about it I realised I was not alone. So many of my friends had it happen to them and we talked it over, one on one including things like abortion that we didn't want to do because of the shame and stigma that exists. I was assessed by a male workcover trauma psychiatrist as having my case dismissed as having no mental illness and no way to afford to recover and still have to work despite all the evidence in my favour. Hold in there, each day you get closer and brave out the new events that make this feel impossible to get past. You are amazing ❤️🌹🙏🏼😁

May I ask a question.?? I really like your videos. But I am wondering being a therapist myself, how can you work when you are in a position like this? Are you working at the moment... seeing clients? Wish you well.
