Happy birthday, Abbey! The positive impact you have made to all of us is invaluable and I thank you for being yourself 💗
Thank you so much❤❤
Couldn’t agree more keep on keeping on Abbey ☺️♥️
thank you Abbey for this video. I am an 19 year old girl struggling with generalized anxiety disorder and bpd. I was treating it for almost a year with medication, and if I am honest – it helped me quite a lot. It made life seem duller but I could function and not be so self-ashamed and stuck in my own thoughts. Three months ago, I stopped using cold turkey because I ran out of it and I wasn’t able to make an appointment for my doctor. So I was like – ok, fuk it we ball. And my sanity has went downhill. I am mentioning this because the shame of using medication to cope with anxiety really made me dread myself. Even my friends told me that they don’t believe that I am too weak to rely on medication. They encourage to push through it and take control of myself. Now this really started an unnecessary inner conflict. I am thankful for your shared wisdom. It opened a whole new perspective. And also – happy birthday! Wish you well
Medication can be lifechanging!
As someone who literally has a hormone imbalance (hypothyroidism) I just got used to taking medication at a younger age. It is a privilege to not need any medication whatsoever, but it doesn’t mean that those who need to are “lesser than.” I do understand some people are nervous about some medication and that makes sense. But I agree the stigma has to go! And on that note…happy birthday, Mama Abbey!
1000%
Omg yes!! 💯
I recently watched your entire series about intuitive eating in one sitting. I was hesitant to do so because up until that point I knew it only as an excuse some people use to just eat endlessly without doing anything to really benefit their wellbeing. I was able to keep an open mind and really listen to what you said and I realised that I’m not doing all that bad when it comes to intuitive eating. Some of the things you said really spoke to me and I have learned a lot about myself. I litterally have sweets going bad in my kitchen because I don’t feel like eating them. I have been struggeling with my weight since I was 8. I started gaining when I had to take high doses of cortisone after a severe allergic reaction, and with the treatment there came the hunger. Can’t blame my mom, it was almost 25 years ago and she did the best she could with the information she had. I am also short with a low BMR and I am a “good girl” and sit really still when I sit. Oh and I have hypothyroidism and the figuring out of the right dose of medication had me also super hungry and gain another 4-5 kilos. My biggest issue in everyday life is portion size. I can eat a lot! And there is a lot of food that can go into my body between the point where I am no longer hungry and the point where I am completely stuffed. I’m working on finding out the right portion size that makes me comfortably full while giving me all the important nutrients. I need to lose 20 kilos in order to be at the upper end of the normal weight range, some weight needs to go rather quickly because it is affecting my ankles, my doctor said about 5 kilos are what is somewhat urgent. Things are moving slowly but in the right direction. With the added insight into intuitive eating I am also much more calm about it. Thank you for all the valuable information you are putting out there, your work really does make a difference!
Been a sub for for about 4 years now and I’ve always enjoyed your videos very much, but lately I’ve noticed a tone shift in your videos to one of extra joy and exuberance and fun. It’s lovely and all the more entertaining. This video is inspiring and as someone who doesnt have a “big sister” I’m grateful for your shared wisdom. Its wild to me, at 27, how untethered and insecure i feel at times (especially as a mom) and this video really hit home for me. Thank you and happy birthday!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday! You are so lucky, Abbey! Because you came to so many realizations relatively early. Believe me, for most people I know, including myself, it took much much longer.❤
Happy Birthday Abbey! This video means more to me than you know❤
Happy birthday, Abbey! You have so much wisdom for someone who’s only 36!
TRULY have loved your videos for years. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge as I enter my late 20s, super helpful advise!
Happy birthday Abbey! We love your insight and can’t wait for more 😊
Love this message so much! Thanks for being so open about mental health. Medication SAVES LIVES! It’s frustrating that it seems most YouTubers only want to talk about taking medication for their mental health after they’ve stopped taking it. We need more people actively treating and taking care of their health and being open about it- and that can involve taking medication.
Happy Birthday Abbey thank you very much for being a helpful figure on internet ❤️
Ps your hair looks really good 😭✋🏻✨
Happy Birthday Abbey! You are all the things! Smart, pretty, funny and compassionate! Kudos to you for feeling the way you do at 36! It took me until my 40’s to get to that place. I have learned so much from your channel. I often feel like I went to Abbey University 😅
I have been binge watching your videos for the past week so when I clicked on this I didn’t realise it was a new video until the end, so a very happy birthday and thank you for the great content and informative videos! (also I love all the references to movies and tv shows, makes me laugh everytime)
Happy birthday Abbey, and thank you for the honest, sassy, big sister advice!
I turned 25 this year and honestly, all your words hit so close to home that it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for giving this advice out, thank you for being such a safe space on this app, thank you for loving yourself and thank you for teaching others to do the same.
At 44 I’m a Xennial and I am just accepting all of this for myself, too. I was hard core CrossFit gal and prized a “perfect” physique. It is a daily challenge to tell myself my worth does not change because of some random external factor like weight, job, relationship status, etc. As humans our worth never changes …. So much love to everyone here who is doing the work for self love ❤️
Just started medication for anxiety. Your vid on it really helped with my decision, thank you so much Abbey <3
Love this! We have the same birthday- im 30! I also really related with the you video as a fellow late (27) diagnosis ADHDer- i relate so much to the people pleasing from growing up being different. Love your videos and happy birthday!
