    I watched part of the video. I REALLY appreciate the fact that she brought up "biochemically-based" depression as opposed to the more emotional kind. I belong to the former and am on life-long anti-depressant. I am a very outgoing and optimistic person and have a great prof reputation, so not what people tend to consider as a depressive (from the outside at least).

    The video is a very timely reminder for me that I have been feeling "off" and it did set off the binge cycles which i have not had for ages. Probably because on top of everything, I have been exercising regularly and it is agreat boost biochemically speaking. But once something triggers off an off-path, it was easy to start a domino effect

    Thank you very much for this video. I can see that the girl has many other videos with great reponsews on Youtube.

    I hope you are feeling better..or post more so we can all chat!

    Thanks for sharing! Her videos have great practical advice. I think I seriously have self hatred which makes me do actions that self sabotage. I think affirmations help me to try to gain a bit of confidence.
