  1. Hi Kati I'm 13 and in going through some depression/ anxiety etc. And I was wondering if you could do a video specificly geared toward teens about mental health issues and what teens can do about them because I think that would be really helpful for me and some of my friends who watch your videos also could you do a video about keeping a journal?

  2. Even when your video topics don't directly relate with my own issues, I still love to watch ALL of them because you have such a warm, compassionate personality that is so comforting. Your friends, family, patients and viewers are all so lucky to have you in their lives!

  3. Hi Kati.
    Tomorrow I have my first eating disorder assessment with the eating disorder specialist and I'm very scared. My university set the whole thing up and they're even paying for it which makes me feel like a burden to the school, not-to-mention I graduate this Friday and move back home to Cali so I feel even worse about it. They confronted me about it as I've apparently worried a lot of the staff and faculty but I just feel quite depressed and down right now with so many life changes and I don't know what to do. Sorry for venting I guess I needed an outlet.

  4. I would also say this is relevant for a general medical discharge (say due to hydration issues/ self-harm/ other medical issues related or unrelated to MH) AND useful for transitioning between places like if you're at university away from your hometown etc. I would say ALWAYS ask for copies of your letters/faxes because sometimes it is easier to turn up to a new appointment with your own paperwork!!!

  5. Ahaha playing around with the edditing again …c: dose make me laugh and the little monkey is awsome ahah … It sounds silly but you always say U think your jabbing on but i actualy quite like that … It distracts me it's actualy makes me fall asleep I dunno why but I don't sleep well and music dosent help but your voise makes me sleepy aha wow I'm weird .-.

  6. Hey Kati. I got an appointment with my gp in order to get a referral for therapy. Do you have any tips for what I should or should not tell and how to cope withe being overwhelmed by it? Thanks in advance, Nicole

  7. Been attending Crisis recovery after taking a massive overdose which I was lucky to survive, should be discharged next week but I am so scared of suffering a relapse.

  8. haha i have tried so many things, earlier in my recovery it was coloring with sharpies and doing really basic drawings. i liked to read stuff, use a rainbow loom during urges. 

  9. Hey kati I have a question #katiFAQ what is the difference between a counsellor and a therapist because everything I've her
    Are about therapy and the things you say to your clients she's sais to me she even the thing where she goes back in time and finds the main cause of something that I'm sad about that I didn't even realise was the main cause and we work on it , I mean it's not a bad thing I just didn't know if there was any different … I love your videos sooo much

  10. Why do you say "We need" "We Feel" etc. when you're describing what an inpatient needs to do or when you are describing the characteristics of a person with a certain disorder? Is that something you were trained to do to make the patient feel more at ease or less judged? Or is it just your personal vernacular? I  hope I'm not coming off as snarky or rude; i'm just curious as a psych major. 

  11. I've had stationary therapy twice and the first time I thought it didn't help because I couldn't do the things I learned when I was back home. But the second time I really worked on this transition with my therapist and I feel a million times better now!
    My tip would be to re-decorate your room immediately after you return. Get rid of old, triggering stuff, re-arrange your furniture, put up posters with things you learned in therapy, set everything in your room up so that it reminds you and supports you in continuing the things you learned in therapy! 🙂

  12. I need some advice.

    I'm in inpatient right now for my eating disorder (I hadn't been diagnosed before my hospitalization, but I think I match the criteria for anorexia), and I'm expecting to be discharged in a few days.  I'm actually scared of getting out because I don't know what I'm going to do between when I get out and when I start outpatient in terms of food.  I don't want to end up back in the hospital, but I will actually have no idea how to handle eating when I leave.  Can anyone give me any recommendations/advice?

  13. The first few nights are usually rough defiantly keep a support system around. And always remember if you have to go back to inpatient it's okay, it doesn't mean give up.

  14. Oh wow. This couldn't possibility further from the truth.
    There are so many things I could start, but let's just pick one thing.
    People directly coming out of a psych unit in their first few days, need a steady support system. This should be up to the discharge team. People are so incredibly vulnerable at thid point.
    If it was as easy as trlling people toget it together and "set yourself up to SUCCEED!!" then there would be no need for mental health help.
    I've always liked you. But now I'm understanding why you got criticism reharding the way you handled the meeting/commentary with Shane / Eugenia.
    How about you give the youtube community some actual advice? Ni hate, but this is damaging and could cause real problems to people dealing with sick loved ones. What a shame.
