i remember when i used to have to give myself a pep talk to go to the supermarket (girl, you need groceries for yourself, for your baby, if you dont get up and go nobody else will) lmaoo its sound ridiculous but it was a struggle. i think i struggled with anxiety since childhood but when i had my own child its like i stopped giving a f*** about stuff that made me anxious and focused on raising my child, moving forward, making progress by my own standards.

“What’s for me will never miss me.” Thank you for that message! I needed to hear that today.

We are worthy because we are alive. Because we are contributing to the unfolding of life. I’m just starting learn this from parent classes I’m taking. I hope it supports you!

"What's for me will never miss me" Girl you are such a gem. I needed to hear ALL of this- knowing that someone as beautiful and successful as you sometimes struggles with comparison and feeling 'not good enough' is so validating. You've grown so much and you're an inspiration

Hi Doll, I suffer from anxiety and depression as well. Each day is a day I have to choose to be positive. I’ve learned to look at the world in the greys instead of in black and white. Therapy helped me learn how to cope daily and how to use what I’ve learned to get through the moments when I become overwhelmed. Now, I live by the thought of I think positively, then I will have positive outcomes and if I think negatively, then I would have negative outcomes. Continue to be strong! I admire you before and I do even more now! Keep thinking positive. Know your not alone 💕

Omg I teared up … loved this needed this… whew 😥

Havent watched yet but I just wanna say we love you and missed you Mae and I'm just glad to interact whenever you're back

Thank you for sharing your story! *I’m no stranger to disappearing for months at a time.* I’m introverted and also a loner who experienced depression at the age of 11. Sometimes it feels as if the world is trying to swallow me. I’m glad you’re feeling better!💙 And girllll, I unfollowed TSR 3 years and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my IG feed. I only go on that page now when I’m looking for a specific story. I’d rather look at my own risk than have that BS shoved down my throat.

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad that you are in a better head space. 💜

I appreciate you sharing and the transparency of not just wanting to get on but go through and come out better, sharing a total experience. I hope that you have more good days than not and when you do have bad days you are able to work through them and come out all shiny and new💚

Thank you for sharing. This was beautiful. I can relate to a lot of these feelings, and it is a hard thing to do alone. I hope everyone who feels this way knows that they are special and loved and you have a purpose for being here.

Yes I love this Love! Thank you for being openly honest about this sensitive topic we need more of these

Thank you for your transparency Mae. You know your day 1 supporters eff witchu heavy regardless. Glad that your in a better space. I too can relate to everything you said in this video. I’m unlearning & relearning a lot of things & changing my mindset. I’m a work in progress and it feels good to know how far I’ve come 💙.

So glad you are in a better space now. Thank you for sharing with us.❤️

Thank you! Depression and anxiety is very difficult, comes in waves, and confusion.

I've been following you for a long time, and your videos have helped me with my natural hair journey a lot! Everything that you have just said has resonated with me, except I have a lot of anxiety and that sends me spiraling. Thank you for speaking about this, because your video came out on a dark week for me.

Aww Mae 🥺 ! I absolutely adore you ! You will always have a place in my heart just because you reached out to ME during a low time in my life and just spoke life into me and the situations going on; I’ll always appreciate you for that. I’m so proud of you and we haven’t even met in person but you are a light 🤎 Depression is a hard hole to pull out of but it feels so good to have support from a loved one! As an adult I have to keep telling myself to force myself out of the funk as much as I can do I relate to you in sooo many ways in this video! Remember to never apologize to needed a break because we get and we understand you for sure🤎 you definitely have a friend and distant sister for anything you need- I love you doll 😘 !

so proud to be your supporter!! you take as much time as you need in your personal life; we love your content exactly because you’re so thoughtful and talented!!💓💓

Big thanks for this video! Depression is devastating but we can crush it!

Loved this video...I related to everything you said. I'm also a very empathetic, sensitive and caring person because of it usually I get taken advantage of. I love your honesty. Thank you for keeping it real!!!!!

I’m late to this video. I came across your channel today watching your silk press tips and watched a couple of your videos before coming across this video! I felt compelled to leave a comment and say that I literally relate to what you’re saying on a profound level forreal. I got rid of my social media too when I got pregnant and took that time to self reflect, accept things for what it is and also work on that perfectionist flaw that I have as well… I’m still a work in progress, but sure as hell in a better/strong mindset now than how I was 6-7 years ago, from simply disconnecting from social media such as Facebook and IG (KZfaq and Pinterest are the only things I use now). Thank you for sharing ☺️

Thanks for sharing.... That was beautiful and very honest and so needed 😊

Thank you for sharing. This meant a lot to me. I listened to the entire video.

Wow! I just found your channel today. Thank you so much for sharing. Everything you shared was so relatable and I agree when it comes to social media. I had to unfollow certain pages that were making me feel unhappy and now I lean towards one's that uplift me and inspire me to grow. I love love love this conversation ❤️💚

I am so proud of you! I can relate to being jealous of others in the past...now I love to see others win, and like you said, if it's for me it won't miss me

Thank you for your honest and heartfelt video. I can identify with some aspects of your past situation. I'm ghosting too , but not unhappy about it . A journey of self discovery .

Wow. I don’t know why I needed to watch this. I’m a total flake and I never compared it to being depressed. I just felt like that was the way I was supposed to feel. Like that behavior became normal for me. You are an amazing person I know it. 💫 Be well and be kind to yourself. Thank you

Yooooo it's so DOPE to see so many people in the comments sharing positivity and uplifting words!!! As an introvert I can relate to some of what you shared. We tend to bottle things up until there is no more room, then it explodes! I've found that becoming grounded spiritually helps to guide my thoughts and therapy is my space to release whatever I'm feeling from the hurdles of life. Keep growing Doll, and be your best self!!!

I have just become part of your supporters! I first would like to say, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It was also disheartening to learn that no one knew how to help that little girl. That little girl, grew up. You managed to find your way. It may have taken some time but it was inevitable because of whom you seem to be and I am happy for you too. Those early on, well meaning critics, they saw your potential and wanted you to be exceptional and you are. (That statement does not justify what they did or how they did it.) I never thought about the traits attached to being a perfectionist. I just hated it about myself. I stopped practicing being a perfectionist years ago, although, I see the tendency creep up from time-to-time. That same potential I see in my 2 year old and I can't be the like critics I encountered. My goal is to be a cultivator. Thank you for sharing. It was very helpful. Agape

Thank you for your openness 💙

It’s just like... am I you and are you me?! I definitely came across this for a reason. The difference between perfectionism and confidence is where you dragged me for growth (not for filth!). I appreciate you and your vulnerability. We’re proud of you! I love it here

I do the same thing for the same reason ❤️ I completely understand - I did the same thing when I was pregnant with my first and fourth baby it’s so true- I don’t share things when I’m in it! Good for you for having boundaries and taking the time you need

Wow I was lead to this Video thank you so much for your transparency you remind me so much of myself 1000 hope you come out with more video's God Bless you Sis

Thank you for being honest about your feelings. I am happy for you. The things you shared will help me and a lot of others . Thank you again 😊

Love this! You are SO SO SO not alone!!

I'm so glad to hear you're doing so much better 😊 While I haven't been down the same road as you, your video made me reflect on a lot of things I went through that really tried to kill my spirit and caused me to question my worth. I've vowed - just last night and again after watching this video - to trust in myself, to actually learn from my experiences, and believe in how great I really am. Thank you for being vulnerable with us. It's very much appreciated. Take care ❤️

I am so impressed with the woman that you’ve become! Young people need to hear what you have to say. Depression is real but it can be managed with effective coping strategies and sometimes with medication. Thanks for helping others by being transparent. 🥰🙏🏾

Hey Doll.💜🙋🏾‍♀️ So happy to see and hear from you. Sending you a virtual 🤗❤

For more than half this video you sounded so much like me. I just kept nodding and nodding. You are an inspiration!

Thank you for sharing this ❤

Thanks for being candid and all the very best to you.

LOVE U Sis! JUSSSSSSSSST FOUND YOU TODAY & COMPLETELY IDENTITY! KEEEEEEEP UP YOUR GREATTTTTTTTT WORK!

Strong and inspiring! Always make yourself #1. Thank you for this honest and relatable video! Much love and respect to you🙌🏾🌸.

This timing 🙌🏾 I know this was difficult, and Thankyou for your transparency! You never owe us an explanation.. your time, your energy, your skills is what we support. But this message resonates more than you know:) wishing you all the success and great health 🤗

I'm glad you're still here I'm glad you have such a great supports system within your marriage its truly beautiful. Thanks for being so candid it isn't easy to be honest about things like this let alone on the internet but im so glad you did because it is helpful more than you know 💙💙

We absolutely love you!🤍🤍

Well spoken. Keep God first and always protect your energy 💪🏾💕🙏🏾

Sending you love!! 💕💕

Wow I am the same exact way. I am very introvert myself, but certain situations have really brought me out of my shell. It’s ok to take a much needed break especially when it’s dealing with mental health. You can overcome anything Mae. You are a tough cookie. Glad that you are back.

Thank you for sharing. Great outlook on the Sephora outcome though I think you would have made an excellent team member especially with the skincare products. Peace & Blessings to you🙏🏾

You don’t know how much I needed to hear this, I shed some tears. I’ve been battling depression since college and have those same feelings that you do. I’ve been at my lowest to the point that I wrote a suicide note and planned how I was gonna end it all. But me thinking of the pain my mom would be in is what stopped me. I definitely need to find someone to talk to. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the hair videos, content and sharing your truth.

My life! I do this so often! I deactivated my Facebook in 2016 & decided to get on again for business reasons in 2020.. I am the same I don’t believe you can truly help someone unless you’ve been through iy

HalleluYah! 🕊️ "What's For Me Will NEVER Miss Me" I Love It🌹✨

Just remember, your posting is a benefit to us the viewer. You owe us absolutely nothing. Take whatever time you need. Praying for you! 💕

Everything you’re saying is spot on. What’s for you will never miss you because nothing and no one can take away what god has for you. Showing gratitude is the most important because it shows God that you’re grateful for every single thing in your life which allows more blessings to come your way. What you say and think becomes your reality. It’s all about gratitude, high energy and vibrations, faith and having genuine intentions. Continue on your journey because you will continue to have greatness and pure happiness. Everything you want from life claim it and receive and you will have it. Sorry to hear of your mother’s passing even though I don’t know that breaks my heart. Just know that your mother is still with you her flesh body has moved on but her energy is still near. Read the art of living by: Thich Nhat Hanh. Many blessings sister. I wrote this message before watching the entire video once i finished watching it I had to come back and comment . It’s so good to eliminate anything that is low vibrational because it will lower your vibrations and once you get deeply heavy in your spiritual journey you wouldn’t want to consume any of those gossip low vibrational shows or anything for that because once you do it will make your entire energy feel completely off and truly have an impact on your energy. Please check out a woman by the name of “ Lalah Delia “ she has a booked called vibrate higher daily , she has mediations on insight timer and a website for online class you will learn so much and it would be a great room for your spiritual journey . She’s truly A beautiful soul . What you’re saying about being home and with your husband and family fuels you more than being out I resonate with 100 percent I always say my family rejuvenates me not being out with friends or out . Life is about growth and what matters most is when your personality aligns with your soul.

Soooo happy to see you in my notifications doll! Let me watch the video, just want you to know you're missed❤🥰

Your audio sounds so good. Maybe you already do this but if not, itd be cool to hear you do a podcast format. Maybe that’ll be something that’s less pressure when it comes to putting out content even with your perfectionism

Thanks for sharing. ❤️

You are very mature to be so honest instead of being fake because you can't change what you don't acknowledge. Comparing yourself to others is CRUEL. You are God's wonderful creation He does not make any mistakes. It's also good for your soul to take long breaks off of social media 💙 just take it ONE DAY AT A TIME, GOD BLESS

Praying for all who are suffering from depression.

Praying and Trusting God has helped me when I was depressed during my chemo treatment

Awesome video, even more important than a natural hair video! Hopefully I can get my 17 year old twin daughters to watch this video.

"it's not on you, it's in you" ✨✨✨

We have to be careful about what we put into our mines,it definitely will cause a negative effect on our lives .

Wow I go thru the same things. But from the outside appearance you seem to have it all together

❤️❤️❤️

❤️

Speaking my language!

Praying for you! Hope all is well. (You and Chrisette Michele look like sisters by the way! ☺️)

I pressed the lik button 4tymes.🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤩

👏

Please take care of yourself. Glad to see you. But I want you to prioritize yourself and your family. I don’t think I am the only one who feels this way. We’re proud of you. Be well.

❤️ hair

Off topic but Is this a shirt, a dress? I love!

❤👑💯✨🙏🏾💪🏾🙌🏾

Have you thought about rebranding?

God is our creator, and we must trust in Him and not the universe. God wants us to worship Him totally and not giving credit to ungodly idol of this world.

👫

💑👍

Trust in God, he has created you for a purpose.
