I wanted to open up about what I've been struggling with the past 5 years.

A few added notes:
Please never be afraid to seek help.
Also I'm not a doctor, I am just sharing from my personal experience and I am not discouraging modern medicine. I simply had a negative outcome from what they gave me, others might have a positive one. Talk to your dr and see what would be best for you.

  • Woah… I thought this what a joke because I’ve never seen her actually serious. Thanks for opening up about this
  • @Winterbay
    Depression is such a liar that robs us of our self-worth. I sincerely hope you get through this stronger and happier.
  • @dkerwood1
    Elise, you've been a huge inspiration to my young daughter. She struggles with anxiety but really identifies with you, both in your silly videos and the occasional serious content. Her Elise signature ukulele is one of her prized possessions and it's always nice knowing that we can watch your videos together. Thank you for being a great role model in strength, vulnerability, and honesty.

    ‘You get used to it’ is the truest thing about depression I’ve ever heard that I don’t here a lot of people talk about. You don’t realize how greatly your quality of life is affected until you see how far you sunk. I feel that
  • I clicked on this video thinking it was a joke, but I fully didn’t expect this, we’re all here for you Elise❤️
  • As someone who also struggles with depression, thank you for your words of encouragement. God's mercies are new every morning!
  • i’m so proud of you for speaking up about what’s been going on. i know it must not have been easy. i’ve also been struggling with depression for about five years now. seeing you speak up about your experience makes me extremely proud of you. i hope you find the happiness that you deserve and that life only goes well for you. you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations ever since i was ten. you’re the reason i bought my own ukulele and why i still continue to play it to this day (: thank you for making me laugh and making me smile all these years, honestly. we’re always here for you 💗
  • Listening Elise talk about her faith and how Jesus and God helped her keep going is fascinating even if I don't share those believes Elise, you're great and I love you
  • @maeflowrr
    I cannot tell you how relieving it is to hear someone with depression saying they dont have a reason as to why. I’ve been struggling for a while, and I always hated myself for not being able to explain what’s wrong with me and just keeping it to myself. It’s just a toxic cycle of guilt and shame that made me think I didn’t deserve to live if I was just going to make me and everyone around me so miserable. Thank you so much for sharing your story, we’ll always be here for you <3
  • @jjwilson8550
    This is such a wonderful testimony, God isn't finished with you yet and has so many wonderful plans for your life!! Thank you for your vulnerability in this video. We are all here supporting you!
  • @Raevik
    I've never been a believer in most religions, but its so nice and comforting to see someone gather strength and determination through their beliefs. IMO that's what religion really should be about. Stay strong Elise, I am sure your God is supporting you and you will get better and better <3
  • Haven’t watched the full video yet, but I just wanted too say we all love you Elsie, and we are always here for you. Thanks for making us laugh with every video. IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
  • It's hard to believe that she has been dealing with depression all these years. She's normally so lighthearted and happy in her videos. That is hard to do and is amazing you were able to do it.
  • @Gredran
    I just hope you realize more and more how you’ve helped US in our own depression and sadness and darkness, especially since 2020 when the world totally flipped for us all, and for many it could have been earlier; or the difficulty may have never stopped Your humor, your inside jokes, and now your transparency and courage to share this… You help so many people by laughing and now you’ll help even more by showing us all that we aren’t alone. I don’t love a ton of Tiktok style/short goofy content like this, but I always smile when I see a new video by you, and this was no different 😊
  • I'm also struggling with depression and your videos (from tøp covers to chaotic memes) helped me a lot. I love you and all your fans love you. Thanks for everything you do and stay strong in every way. God bless you Also, stay alive fren ||-//
  • Elise, you probably don’t know the extent of the impact you’re videos have had. For real, thank you for letting God speak through your pain. It is truly inspirational 💛
  • I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health issues for the past few years too and I wish the best for anybody going through something similar :) thanks for talking about it elise, and for all your videos that make people smile

    We are all here for you Elise. I have been struggling a lot recently too even though you are an adult and I am only 13. It started with my physical help crashing and me getting really sick and then my mental help fell too. I have lost all but one of my friends at this point and currently homeschooling due to being diagnosed with many things. Rumors are being spread about me at school and you are so right that mental and physical heath play off of each other. Everyone has there own experiences and no one can truly understand what one has gone through, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I don’t want to act like I understand what’s going on with you because our situations are very different but there are pieces that we can understand about each other. In school I always isolate myself from others as a defence. I am afraid to let my guard down a lot of the time cause I don’t want to get hurt again after my best friend being so hurtful. You’ll get through this and so will I! I am also a musician, i Play Guitar, Piano, and drums! I am in two rock Bands and just played my first 3 shows. You are truly talented and I hope you read this!!!! Love you!❤❤❤
