I’ve been thinking about doing this video for a while now. Ever since I heard my friend Dawn McCoy speak at Philosophy’s Mental Health luncheon I wanted to open up and share more about my past experiences. But I was too scared.
I was afraid of what people might think. I was nervous about seeming weak. I felt like I had a dark secret. I was just plain scared. But then I watched Aimee Song’s vlog where she shared her struggles with mental health. I was inspired. I texted Dawn and told her I was ready to open up. But I needed her support.
Dawn came over to help me film my second most personal video to date. I was beyond nervous, sweating profusely as my hand shook trying to apply my mascara. We didn’t plan out the video. I didn’t know what I was going to say. All I knew was that I wanted to share.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this video. I look incredibly awkward. I stumble my words. And only a handful of people in my life even know I was on medication in the past for depression. Now I’m sharing it with the whole world!
So why I am sharing? Well, I’m opening up for a couple of reasons:
1. My Sydne Style fam has been so supportive.
I am so thankful for each and everyone of you. You’re always there with kind comments on my blog, social channels and YouTube. It means the world to me. So when I got a bunch of questions asking about certain things in my life I felt that I needed to open up more. I’ve been trying to do it daily on Insta Stories, getting real with the not so glamorous everyday moments. And here I’m getting as real as I can.
2. I want to share that it’s okay not to be perfect.
I’ve always been a perfectionist. In some ways, it’s a good thing. By striving for perfection I’ve pushed myself harder to get the best grades, the best jobs and be as successful as I could possibly be. But as a blogger and influencer, my perfectionism starting reaching a new low. I never felt good enough. I couldn’t stop comparing myself to others. It was a horrible downward spiral that I’ve worked very hard to stop this past year.
I’m slowly learning that it’s okay not to be perfect. You just have to be you and be the best person you can be. Practicing The Miracle Morning has really helped me (more on the book here). It’s a constant struggle but I’m happy to say that I’ve felt really good recently. My life is not perfect. It’s far from it. But I’m in the best place I’ve been in for a very long time.
I hope this video helps you if you’re struggling with any self doubt or uncertainty in your life. And I want to thank Dawn for being such an inspirational friend, helping me open up more and realize that life isn’t always perfect… and it doesn’t have to be. 
Thank you Sydne for sharing this part of your life!! As someone who struggles with anxiety I can totally relate! We got this beautiful!!!

The level of a person’s mental health https://mediaonemarketing.com.sg/top-mental-health-therapists-singapore/ at any given time is determined by numerous social, psychological, and biological factors. For example, violence and sustained socio-economic pressures are recognized as a risk factor for mental health. Obvious evidence is linked to sexual violence.

Thanks for your advice. In fact, anxiety can come to everyone, especially during the coronavirus, when everyone is exposed to additional stress. I think there is a lot of good advice out there right now, like the blog https://anxietytreatments.org/ or products to help you overcome this.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do in such a situation is to deal with the source of your problem. Although I read in the article https://www.laweekly.com/strongest-cbd-oil/ about many products that can help you with anxiety or just stress

Thank you. For me, either meditation or wholesale 510 cartridges helps to get rid of stress or anxiety. Both options work 100%, although the first one also needs a special mood and atmosphere.

I believe many people have become aware of the popular CBD product, which has recently become legal and is now utilized for medicinal purposes. To ensure you purchase an authentic CBD product and avoid counterfeit items, I recommend placing your trust in reputable CBD manufacturers, such as this trusted online CBD store westcoastsupply . You can also find goods for your pets https://westcoastsupply.cc/products/cbd-oil/cbd-for-pets/ I’m sharing this recommendation wholeheartedly, and I hope it proves beneficial for you!

Thank you for this wonderful video and your tips. In fact, many people suffer from anxiety or depression and this is important to understand. Now there are products like https://www.aloeride.com/product/omani-royal-al-hojari-boswellia-sacra-frankincense/ that can also help. Although they are more often taken to strengthen the immune system and for tumor cells

A good option, but for me the best solution was to simply find the right therapist. I researched https://alldaymedicalcare.com/services/anxiety/ to find anxiety therapists in my state of Maryland. This has opened up many opportunities for me to improve my mental health.

Try to stick to a routine: wake up and go to bed at about the same time. This is a great way to tune your body and help it feel good both on weekdays and on weekends. Don’t forget about a regular annual check-up with a doctor. This approach allows you to check your condition and identify any diseases at an early stage, when the only symptom may be fatigue. In addition, based on its results, you can choose the necessary dietary supplements. On the HerbEra website https://herb-era.com/ , you can find everything you need to feel better

This post is so beautifully honest, and it’s a reminder of how important it is to show vulnerability. Your journey with mental health and self-acceptance is inspiring, especially as someone who also struggles with perfectionism. It’s encouraging to hear that practicing daily habits, like The Miracle Morning, has been helpful in finding balance. Thank you for reminding us that being “real” is far more impactful than striving for unattainable perfection. Sending lots of love and gratitude for this post!
