Dealing with a sense of emptiness & learning to enjoy being alone (🦋 Wildflower Summer Ep.4)

Hello, dear friends ❤️
If this video meant something to you, please give it a like and share it with others ❤️
I'm so sorry it's been such a long time since I last posted. This last month has been extremely difficult-- I'm actually really struggling with being alone. I was always scared of this...but I had hoped it wouldn't be this bad. The hardest part of being alone isn't missing my significant other and it isn't even feeling lonely, rather it's being forced to come face to face with all my wounds, shortcomings, and unhappiness. It's all come crashing down the last few weeks and, as much as it scares me to say, I think I'm depressed.
Don't worry, I've gotten help. I've also tried new things-- from taking myself to the movies to signing up for a self-defense class, to learning French, I've been searching for little bits of light in my days...and IT'S WORKING. Slowly but true.
This video is the journey I've just described. Honestly, it feels like the most important video I've ever made.
Thank you so very much for being here with me on this journey ❤️
Big hugs & love,
Morgan

    Dear Morgan, I think this is my favourite video of you ever because you are so honest and vulnerable and I feel so seen here. Thank you for sharing this hard time with us. I can only imagine how hard it is to be so vulnerable on the Internet for thousands to see. I struggle with depression and anxiety for several years now. Seeing you opening up about your struggles helps me to feel less alone in my own struggles. I am so glad that you found a therapist to help you! Going to therapy is maybe the best thing that I ever did my life. It‘s hard. Sometimes it really sucks and it‘s no fun, BUT seeing the immense healing and growing I did in the last years since I started therapy, made the uncomfortable feeling of therapy totally worth it. I wanna thank you Morgan because in my darkest days your words and your videos are often a big source of comfort and happiness to me. They bring back a little magic and light in those dark days. Your words and your outro often make me tear up because getting to hear that I am worthy of enjoying my life and that I deserve to be happy from a person I never met face to face helps me so much and mean so much to me. I can’t express how thankful I am for your videos. Sending a big hug and lots of love to you! So and now a few things that help me when I am depressed and feel very anxious (I hope some tips that might help you Morgan and the other lovely people in the comments): 1. I think you saw this one coming: Go get (professional) help. If you think you are mentally not on top, go get professional help. If you think you are not ill enough to get a therapist that’s… just no. I thought that for a long time and now I know I needed help and I still need help. You are worthy of help and of love. If you feel you need help, get help. Don‘t be afraid that you waste the time of your therapist or you take the place of someone who might need it more. If you need it, you deserve to get it. Some people need ten hours of therapy and they are healthy and happy again. Some people need more and that is totally fine too. And you lovely people still reading this, please note it is never to late to get therapy. My boyfriend is a therapist and his oldest patient is 84. Better start late than never. And if you are afraid to contact a therapist, ask your mum/ boyfriend/ best friend/ grandma/ in-laws/ dog (okay maybe not the last one) to call and make an appointment with a therapist for you. I was to afraid to do that, so my mother-in-law helped me with that. 2. Get yourself a companion: a dog, a bird or a stuffed animal, you can cuddle with to not be so lonely on your darkest days. I have my buddy (a stuffed animal named Herbert) right by my side if I am anxious and depressed. 3. Take care of yourself: if you lay in bed all day and doom scroll on your phone to eternity, have a emergency plan nearby you can look at. The plan will help you get out of your rabbit hole and helps you if everything to overwhelming. Points on my emergency plan: get up, open windows, brush my teeth, put a fresh t-shirt on, drink a big glass of water and eat something. This helps me to feel a little bit better. 4. Make easy comfort foods: I have a few meals that are easy to make. If I am depressed I often struggle to eat anything although I‘m super hungry because preparing food is to big of a task for me. So two of my easy to make meals are porridge with blueberries and roasted vegetables (buy pre-cut frozen veggies, put oil, salt and pepper on them and throw them in the oven). Takes both maybe three minutes to prepare and I can eat something and fuel my body. 5. Read a book. Maybe one of your favourites? 6. Play animal crossing. Helps me to be calm and escape into a cozy fantasy. 7. Watch a Morgan Long Video. Or any other video of your favourite KZreadr. 8. Watch funny animal videos on KZread. In my darkest days, these were a life saver. 9. Make things for you as easy as possible. I struggle with cleaning a lot and are really fast, really overwhelmed. So I tried to make as easy as possible for me. I love cluttercore and the interior of French chateau but that would overwhelm me so quickly, so I try to keep my apartment as minimalistic as possible to make cleaning easier for me. 10. Last but not least: remember that this is one day. There will be better days again. Don‘t be so hard on yourself. You deserve to have shitty days. You deserve to rest. You deserve to take time to heal. You deserve your own forgiveness and compassion that you don‘t get anything done on shitty days. As I said, there will be better days again. So thank you for reading this and I hope this will help a person here in the comments. And thank you for everything that you do, Mo. Sending hugs and kisses to you Mo and to all the other lovely people reading this. Love Steffi (And sorry for any mistakes I made while writing, it‘s nearly two a.m. here and English is not my first language)

    Depression is such a difficult thing to pick yourself up from, especially when you’re living alone. It’s so brave to make the decision to get help, let alone to film it so you can also help other people know that they are not alone. All the toughest journeys lead to the most growth 🌻

    Morgan, I am so happy and proud of you for seeking help from therapy. I have watched every single video on your channel and was a patron for a time and have noticed signs of depression long before Landon left. I never commented because I didn't think it was appropriate for a stranger on the internet to suggest that you seemed depressed. I hope you will continue your therapy and continue the work of loving yourself because you are loved beyond measure and you were created to live abundantly.

    I am a silent subscriber but I wanted to share this prayer with you: "Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, sooth the suffering, comfort the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen." We often pray for those who are suffering but forget that the joyous need just as much prayer. Morgan, you are such a joyful person and the pain you feel is valid and does not change who you are. I pray that your joy will be protected, although you face hardship, so that you may continue being a light to our world. More deeply, I pray that you will come to find joy in the Creator who crafted your wondrous soul and find comfort in being alone with Him.

    It’s very reasonable and normal to have extreme sadness if a spouse has been gone for two months. The body physiologically would feel like a divorce happened. Separating when necessary for jobs and to pay the bills is one thing, but having a husband go off just to have fun and “find himself” is another thing. It’s abandonment. You’re completely normal to be sad about that. I mean this in all love even though many might not believe me or take it that way. I love your videos so much.

    Agreed! I’m surprised there aren’t more comments like this one. Also, it’s one thing for him to take a few weeks “off” but 6 months leaving her all alone with all the home responsibilities just so he goes have fun and finds himself is inconsiderate to say the least. She deserves so much more. 😢

    As an older woman who is a psychotherapist, and has clinical depression that has been treated - I am so glad you did this video. Thank you for sharing yourself authentically, and encouraging others to do the same. I have spent well over 15 years in various psychotherapies and intensives, and I can say the emptiness and the big hole in my gut is gone.... life is wonderful! Also if you find you have "classical" clinical depression, I hope your therapist refers you to a psychiatrist for screening for the appropriate medication. It is an amazing thing when science helps. And it is the only medicine I take, and that is after fighting it for almost a decade. (I am very much into "natural," so it took a while for me to know it was the best. I now have a whole different life.) I am so happy to see all the great things you are experiencing and adding to your life at this time.

    Fighting decades with depression is very different than learning to cope with new feelings in a new life situation, if she learn to deal with it she will be stronger than ever and her personality will grow - as we see already. She is amazing to deal with her feelings and accepting them, talking through, reading about and getting help is the only way. If she starts to take medications only to escape totally natural feelings weakens not only her personality but also her physical health. Strange that somebody who is supposed to be a psychoterapist doesn't see the difference, and to believe, crying and feeling helpless during the adaptation time to a new life situation (which is temporary, Landon will come back soon) needs medications, this is very-very wrong. Learning French, going out with friends, doing empowering sport is the best and most intelligent remedy in her situatution, it's building her and not ruining, she is absolutely amazing and a perfect role model! And actually I only came to the comments section to recommend the books of Antoine Laurain, a French author also translated to English, who has light hearted, very frenchy stories. That's what she needs, happy moments, not the dark hole of medications, she is not sick, she is just a human who has human feelings.

    @@laurac2783 You are not accurate in saying that IF she would be diagnosed with clinical depression and was to take an antidepressant she would, as you say " escape totally natural feelings weakens not only her personality but also her physical health!" This is not true! Research actually shows that it is the opposite. Antidepressants do not change one's personality! If the person is appropriately diagnosed with clinical depression, the medication actually enhances the expression of one's personality. And those who have clinical depression and have not been appropriately treated have more physical health symptoms. And I am concerned that you are deciding that you have the training and information necessary to make this statement! All of the things that she is doing to enhance her life are fantastic, and so is her starting therapy. My comment here was in support of that. I am not able to diagnose by just watching her video - nor would I attempt to. I was making a comment in support of the possibility of the symptoms she was experiencing. She may very well gain all the growth she desires from her talk therapy, and not have clinical depression. I never once said that she is "sick." Mental health, and treatment for mental health, is not about calling someone "sick." Medications, when appropriately used for treatment when someone has clinical depression, are life savers. It is true that not all who experience what she has experienced have clinical depression. Medications also are not "a dark hole!" They are quite the opposite. People who have clinical depression are also "humans having human feelings". I don't know where your comments are coming from - but they are concerning. And being someone who has clinical depression I know the experience of before and after - and the comments you have made are not appreciated for myself or for others who have a mental illness that is treatable. I think that this could be an example of what can happen on social media when there isn't a real discussion back and forth. You may be taking my intent and comments out of context.

    I just subbed to your channel. I was struggling with mental health for about 3 years. Going in and out of crisis, depressed, I would push ppl away and isolate myself. It got worse when I did that because I got stuck in my head and would not allow people to pull me out of it, unless it got to the point of life and death for me. I just turned a corner like a month ago. I feel better and have not gone to the crisis unit for a while now. Im spiritual and I see now that I was going through the dark night of the soul. My own concept of myself had to collapse so i could become the new version of me that i was meant to be. I was suicidal a lot over the past 3 years. But Im happy I am alive and got through it. You will to Morgan, we are here for you, your not alone!!!

    Hey Mo! Thanks so much for sharing this journey. It's so real and raw and I really appreciate how scary and hard it is to admit the feelings you are having. I had this experience a few summers ago, I felt so lonely ( I moved to a new city with my boyfriend at the time ). It was hard for me to admit that and it had a really tough effect on our relationship. Seeing you be so courageous to own up to your feelings is so empowering for you! You are growing so much and learning so much in life, and this experience will only benefit you in the future, building resilience and being able to thrive on your own.

It made me cry and then laugh with the remnants of tears still on my face, it made me feel seen, understood and less alone because I could relate so much to every word and feeling you expressed. I know how scary and overwhelming depression is, and you are incredibly brave for being open about it and asking for help when you felt like you needed it. You're like a ray of sunshine and your videos are always heartwarming, uplifting and inspiring but also real, genuine and authentic and have helped me so much. You are stronger than you think, and as scary as it is, you're doing it! You keep getting up and trying no matter how many times you get knocked off your feet, and there's so much power in that. You got this Morgan, sending lots of love your way❤

I finally too got help and boy what a difference life has been. I feel so much like myself again and can breathe.

Now, having heard you address such struggles so openly, I somehow feel way lighter and hopeful that I, too, can get to a point where being alone isn’t equal to feeling lonely. And always remember you deserve the time necessary to heal and grow! You once dreamed of being where you are now. ❤

I’m twice your age and have wasted so much time feeling badly. Life is fleeting and there’s no time to spare to enjoy yourself and shine your light on the world.

    Hi Morgan, I feel emotional after watching this video, maybe because I think this is the journey each of us have to go on at some point in our life. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised at the end of the summer at how much you have grown. Strength and growth just don't come in any other way except by going through great challenges. I think you are brave and inspiring. I hope you continue to find simple joys each day throughout the rest of your summer. 💕

    During one of the worst depressive episodes of my life, your videos were there for me, making me feel like life could be worth living, if I only could find the courage to let it, and I'd cry every single time you signed off with the words, "Believe in yourself, oh wondrous you." I reached out for help, and with time, I slowly came back to myself. I got a planner, and pastel highlighters like you have, and I set myself goals, and wrote affirmations for myself, and I read "Big Magic" on your recommendation, and I slowly started to explore my creativity more, and I pushed myself to try new things, and I worked harder at my job, because of seeing you do all those things. You gave me courage, Morgan, at a time when I needed it most, and felt so desolate and alone. Your videos made me wake up to the world, to read poetry again, to enjoy my cup of tea, to find my way back to life through small moments of magic. I opened up to the people in my life, and allowed myself to be loved, and to give love. All of that with your influence. So thank you. I'm crying as I type this because I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a hug, and say to your face, thank you for helping me. And more than that, I wish I could do for you what you did for me. I know it's hard, I know it feels like you keep circling the same hurts and lows, but you are not alone. Not for a minute. There are thousands of people out in the world whose lives you've touched, and they are standing with you. We are standing with you. Please don't lose heart. Please keep reaching out, and talking about how you're feeling. You are so loved, and so appreciated.
