Pulling Myself Out Of A Depressive Episode
this is a bit of a different and more important video, showing something i don’t usually share too much of: depression.
i found this footage today and began editing it, not realising how much my bad mental state showed, i thought it was just another vlog trying tp be productive. i'd actually fallen into a pretty deep depressive episode during this time, a lot worse than this video shows.
until now i had forgotten how severely exams affected my mental health as i've been caught up in finishing my a-levels and starting my gap year. but it's nice to reflect, to watch this back and realise how far i've come and how much i did stuggle getting through exam season 🙌🏻
depression affects around 1 in 6 adults in the UK, meaning around 17% of the population (as of 2021) have suffered from depression.
it is so so important to catch episodes in thgeir early stages and speak up, get the help and support you need, and let yourself rest 🎗️ it is EXHAUSTING having to fight your brain, and although it may feel like you’re doing nothing, or you feel down for no reason, remember it is a disorder, it is out of your control, and you are not to blame for not feeling okay. it's draining trying to fight your thoughts and do simple things when depression makes everything seem so much more difficult - it is okay to rest!
you deserve help, you deserve support, and you deserve that from yourself too 💖

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, KZread and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!

Being able to pull yourself out of a dark place takes unimaginable courage & strength, you’re such an inspiration to us all, you’re absolutely amazing!!
Forcing yourself to smile is such a simple but underated method to trick your body into feeling better. Very important video, thanks for sharing!

It’s so hard to pull yourself out of depression but I have overcome it! All I do is say to myself like “ you matter ! You’re pretty! You’re unique and you’re powerful “ ! And I finally feel myself and I don’t have to hide!!
This came at the perfect time, I needed the motivation to get out of my bed and clean my room.

Zara! Im sorry you have to go through that. You are not alone, i have anxiety so i kind of understand mental illness, but we are here to support you even if it is in the distance ❤
Thank you so much for this. I'm alone away from my family and love trying to get my life settled in a foreign country. Have been in depression since last two years. I feel you.
Thank you for this video. I have depression and anxiety, I only take pills without any psychotherapy. And It helped me. But several days ago I started to think about death. This video inspired me to do something like playing the piano, drawing or doing sports to feel better. Thank you, Zara
Hi zara! I hope you get better!you inspire people so much!We have helped me with my tics! Always remember that you are great and amazing!❤❤
ZARA!! You can keep the extra wax from your candles! Just pour hot water in the jar. It'll all melts and float to the top! The process smells nice too! If you have a wax warmer then you can keep using your favorite smells!!

This is the first video I've seen from you and even tho it's a little old I felt compelled to comment that I love your vibe and you look/sound like such a sweet person. I truly hope you've been doing better now but I'm very proud of you for being able to pull yourself out of these episodes 🫶
Im so happy for you. Im glad that you can do this bc its really hard for me. I dont have depression but i do have adhd and it makes it hard for me do stuff :(
I hope you'll get better ! Remember that your always a great and amazing person!
Hi Zara! This video came at the right time. I have mental health issues, I can relate in some way. Nowadays my mood is a bit down, also try to be productive (and sometimes think I am), so this video gave more motivation. Thank you.
Really proud of your Zarah for pulling yourself out a depressive episode something many people struggle to do and super inspiring! Can’t wait for the new shop launch
Wow. This is amazing. Literally, I feel so hopeless at times, I just lay in my bed and don’t do a single thing. You are such a colourful person. I for one have no idea how you got this many things done at one go. The amount of things you for done in this video would take me a week in my life unfortunately :(
These videos are so peaceful and enjoyable thanks for the vid! ❤
This vid really helped me, I have OCD and sometimes I get in such sad ruts and didn't know how to get out of the. Thank you so much for making this video!
Oh my gosh thank you, Zara. I’m also depressed at the moment and it’s really tough. I’ve been in it for a month. I’m here for you xx

Bless ya Zara, so sorry u have had to go through some bad times, u will only become stronger for it though. I love ur Crystal corner and yes crystals really do help they are from the earth and have the earth's energy in them, you can recharge them by putting them in the light of a full moon. I always carry a piece of Citrine in my purse and a piece of Peridot. Take good care of urself, u are an amazing young woman, stay strong, love and light x💞x
Take a break, do something you like! Take a nice hot bath, eat some food, have a nap, read a book, knit, do what you enjoy! Make sure to listen to your body while doing thoose things, too! It’s not nice to feel sick, mentally or physically but I’m sure you can do this! Edit: I really like making my own custom bookmarks with pens! Yk thoose little bits of cardboard you can find in camomile tea boxes? I collect them and use them as bookmarks because it’s the perfect size!
Yay third comment and top 12 likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for posting these videos.

Zara, don’t be depressed. You are such a strong, amazing woman!!!
Want to take a second to tell you you’re beautiful, and thank you for your work educating people about Tourette’s! You’re an amazing ambassador for the very misunderstood condition! Keep rocking girl!!
thank you for how much you educate
Hoping for a better day that brings a smile ☺All the best wishes 😊
Thank you, this is very helpful. I am stuck in a sort of depressive episode. I am going to do a bit of uni work !
I’ll watch later Zarah when I have time too!
I have depression and I feel like I could cry at any moment for no apparent reason. Either it's because of nostalgic or if I imagine the funeral of someone who's still alive. 8 months ago I was at the funeral of my grandpa who died at age of 89 and I couldn't hold back to cry.
Hey, Zara! I think it’s just so wrong that the best and brightest people suffer from these things, but just know that we all support and love you and we’re here for you. Love you, glad you’re feeling better. 💛 ( P.S. thank you for helping me with the rut I’m currently desperately trying to get out of, this REALLY helped )

You can wash candles, yes Just with water and wipe it down. I used to make candles so just plain water will work.

Jesus is the only way, he loves you and always did. Those crystals dont bring anything good and wont help you but jesus can save you. Yoga cant help you only Jesus can, accept him and repent and believe in the gospel thank you.

Awwwwwwwww you're so young to be going through so many health conditions ❤️💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💝💞💖💖💞💖💞💖💖💞❤️❤️💝❤️💝💞💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝💝💞💝💞💞💝❤️💝💞💝❤️❤️ it's horrible feeling depressed. It's probably to do with turning 18 and knowing your childhood is behind you. I always feel terribly depressed after my Birthday, just the knowledge you're getting older, but especially on the 18rh when you're leaving your childhood behind. Awwwwwww I've had days spent in bed due to anxiety it's absolutely horrendous but yeah the best thing to do is to force yourself to get up and about. Really does work wonders X
You're healing 🤍 Hopefully no more anxieties Self trust is a life process we all go through Training one's mind to be calm (reach enlightenment) The same as how a baby learns to walk and talk Every day is progress to be a better version of yourself
