    I appreciate that you have empathy for Chloe. I won't say I was in a similar situation as Chloe when I was her age, but I was being abused and parts of my system wanted to scream and yell at younger me for being "stupid" and allowing myself to be used. It's taken a lot for us to have a talk about what being a victim does to you psychologically. Also, the part of the video where you talked about having to save yourself stung. I have become so strong over the years but I hate it. I resent the part of me that had to *become* strong. In a way, I shouldn't have had to. I hope life gets even easier and easier for your system as you get older. I hope you can continue to make a safe place for people like us.

    "You look like a different kind of tired than me"... That hit me off guard. Hi Kya, hello to the system! Two years ago I got diagnosed with dysthemia (a high functioning depression without episodes, basically chronically depressed), OCD and an eating disorder and my life was turned arournd 180. Things my mother did to me, that I considered normal, because "she was just stressed", or "because I was in puberty"... Once you realize what really was going on... you cannot go back to the way things were before. Being tired was one of the first symptoms, that really made me realize that somethings is different compared to my peers. I always thought I'm just not the happy, extroverted friend. That something is wrong with me, others matter more and that I'm the problem. But that was just my mind speaking to me. That I'm basically depressed since I'm a kid and that my depression does not come and go in episodes was a tough pill to swollow. Now, after being 2 years in therapy I realize that everyday is a gift and that bad days, moment come but that they also go. I'm not my worst enemy anymore and I'm very grateful to myself that I let myself grow everyday of my existence. Learning never stops! And healing is a journey that sometimes hurts more than pushing away. To anyone who reads this: things will get better eventually. But it's okay that it feels at first like it's getting worse. We are strong, capable and no one can take that away from us! Love, Johanna ♥

And I feel what you wrote about your mother, for me it was my father. You never really see the errors of parental behaviour when you're a child just wanting to be loved. It makes me quite hopeful to read your comment. I, too, feel like my most important acceptance was that I will always have bad days where nothing works the way I want to, but that I can learn to deal with them. Have a good day, wherever you are~

    "We are different, but I'm still you, at least in part." This hit home hard, both because I've been a subscriber since Chloe was host and am definitely feeling the nostalgia seeing "her" again (you're a better actor than you think!), but also because these are the same protective riddles some of my older protectors would use with me in the beginning stages of "coming out" to me about our being a system. It only makes full comprehensive sense in hindsight once you get all the information. 15 years later I still have big AHA moments where puzzle pieces from past cryptic messages/thoughts/influences suddenly become clear with context.

    I was medically neglected too- I’m also chronically ill. I wish I knew then what I know now. Maybe it didn’t have to be this bad. I don’t have DID but my doctors think my chronic illnesses are so severe as a result of how severe and prolonged my trauma was/is. I have C-PTSD and it seems like every few months I suffer a new serious trauma which then makes my chronic illnesses and chronic pain even worse. I keep thinking there’s no way my chronic pain can get worse and then it does. It’s to the point that I’m bed bound and not taking care of myself because it’s too painful. The fact that I have to feel the abuse I went through every second of every day and it’s excruciating painful is incredibly fucked up.

    We also were medically neglected, and are still doing appointments now as an adult to figure out a lot of digestive system and reproductive system issues we have. We were recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis, which is chronic, and it seems like we've had symptoms since we were little according to some stories from my mom about our eating habits and complaints as a child. It probably wouldn't have gotten as bad as it is if we had known earlier, because we could've been eating food our stomach could handle the whole time and not overworking our digestive system. The doctors think there's a lot more than Gastroparesis though. One of the visits, the doctor suggested that a lot of our digestive issues might be caused by the abuse we went through as a kid. So, I can relate a lot to having a constant reminder that my body is screwed up because of awful people. There are days that I can't get myself to eat solely because I might get nauseous and be reminded of all that. I don't have to deal with severe pain, but I do have to deal with chronic nausea and often throwing up and such. I can't imagine it being chronic pain. I'm so sorry that you live with that. (On a cheery note, I send good vibes and hope that you have or can get a service dog bc dogs are nice and people with chronic pain can get service dogs)

    "Open your eyes and allow yourself to exist where you are now. The rest will come to you on its own." I burst into tears at this. I'm 22 and am completely useless to this world, with no real excuse. I have some reasons, but others have gone through worse and still come out on top, so it's not an excuse. I don't know what to do with my life and I am blessed in so many ways, but I ruin it all by making myself feel guilty and horrible because, well, I believe I deserve it. I need to exist where I am now and I guess trust, believe, something in myself. Maybe I'll figure it out later. Idk. But this video made me feel like there's a future on a day where I feel like there's nothing. Thank you for this Kya&Co. I, and apparently many others, needed to hear/see this today. P.s. the acting was great! I was noticing how your movements as Chloe were so much more unsure (constantly moving and fidgeting) while you as Kya stood fast and sat with confidence. I was instantly sucked into this, and if I didn't know better, I would think you had filmed this when you were younger and then replied to it when you're older! 10/10 acting and you deserve a round of applause for it. Definitely NOT a flop! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Hey! I have no idea what you’re going through, and this is by no means trying to force you into positivity or whatever (I know life sucks sometimes and it’s okay to say so). Just… just know that everyone goes different paths in life. What positions others are in doesn’t or shouldn’t matter, because you’re your own person and they’re their own person. And it’s good that way! You being in a “lower” position is excused by you simply being a different person. Also, I personally believe every human has worth to the world purely by existing. This of course doesn’t mean you should, too. It’s just a fact that I started mindlessly scrolling through comments and ended reading a story that touched me so much I felt the need to cheer the person up a bit and tell them to appreciate themselves

    In a world this big, with so much always going on, being inconsequential to the world is normal. It's okay. Your worth is not determined by the world and the role you play in it. Your worth is infinite and unmeasurable, because here you are. "Worth" is not something that has be earned. It can't be gained nor lost. You are you, and that's enough. What matters isn't the world, but the life we create for ourselves on it, and more than that, how we feel about our lives. You don't need a reason to not do better or to do worse. Some people have always overcome worse, but there are others who haven't, those who are still struggling, still fighting, and whose lives still hold just as much inherent meaning, because struggling doesn't make someone less than anyone else. Struggling to do better doesn't mean you deserve worse. You don't have to have everything figured out. In truth, no one does, and those who do will likely be disappointed, because that's never how things go. It's okay to still be finding your place in the world, especially at this age, in this dumpster fire of an economy. The only people who aren't struggling right now are those who cause struggles for everyone else. You are not alone in how you feel. You are not alone in trying to figure things out and having no idea. Most importantly, you don't have to feel alone. Like Kya said, they go to therapy. They didn't figure these things out alone. They had support, and so do you. If you can get professional help, please do so. If you can't afford it or your situation simply won't allow it, see what there is. You don't have to feel this way.

You told yourself that it hurt to change, that you're still tired, and that things don't get where 16 year old you was hoping for.

    When I found out about your channel, and all the content you did, was when you shot a video with Anthony Padilla about DID. I came here because, during the moments you appeared in the video, I felt a "weird" aura. "Weird" because it didn't feel like anything else I've ever experienced in my life. So I wandered around here, saw some light, and came in. I found a space where people are talking, yeah, but they listen as much as they talk, and accept each other. That "weird" feeling became more common the more time I spent here. Not commenting on every video, but watching, and listening, and reading, this feeling felt less and less weird as I came to put a name on it : understanding and acceptance. Thank you so much for all the work and time you put in here, the safe space you created through this channel, and the positive messages and vibes you sent to us through your content. It may sound (or look) weird to say it like that, but now, coming to your videos every other day feels like I'm coming home, getting a warm cup of tea while wrapped in a soft blanket, making it much easier to unwind, relax, and soothe from the rush of everyday life. I wish you all the best, and that all of you reading this message manage to journey through the path of your recovery as safely as possible, but you are strong. Take a deep breath, relax. You've got this. You have it in you to overcome any and all trials waiting on your path, and remember that you are worth everything good, and you deserve to be happy. Stay safe everyone, and take care ❤

She apparently has also told one of our friends "stop being a martyr I hate martyrs" because he was pushing his feelings down so we'd be "happier".

    It's crazy how we feel like we don't change much as time goes on bit when we look back at our younger selves ten years ago you really see just how much wisdom and experience you wish you could share with that younger version of you. You feel like it would've spared you a lot of pain, heartbreak and frustration but it's also the paradoxe because had you not gone through those times in your life, would you be the same person? Idk if it's just me but seeing those hard moments in my life, even the traumatic ones, as something that was necessary to make the person I am today exist with all of my qualities and my faults, it kinda helps to accept those moments and find some sense of peace in them. Like they happened, and maybe I would be better off without them, but I wouldn't be me. I exist because I made it through all of that and I'm damn proud of that fact.
