“I genuinely think I’m going mad, and I don’t

think I’m going to see things normally again” U nless you’ve been living under a

rock for the past few years or

aren’t an avid YouTube viewer then

you’ve probably heard of Dodie Clark

(aka Doddleoddle on YouTube). For those

who don’t know Dodie is a ukulele play-

ing, beautifully singing, literal ray of sun-

shine. In recent months, however, Dodie

has been affected by a bout of depres-

sion. Dodie, who has been a constant

source of positivity towards others, has

taken to YouTube to communicate her

feelings to her fans. Despite, her internal

struggle, she is continually loyal to her

fans and believes that she should keep a

level of communication between herself

and her viewers.

H owever, through all the hard times

she’s faced recently she still con-

tinues to make beautiful music with her

trusty uke. From original songs to covers

that we love, there’s always a steady

stream of songs sung with Dodie’s angelic

voice available on her YouTube channel.

And there’s always a stream of chatty

vlogs on her second channel

(Doddlevloggle).

I t’s very hard not to feel sorry for

Dodie when she says things like “I

genuinely think I’m going mad, and I

don’t think I’m going to see things nor-

mally again.” or when she wells up talk-

ing about her depression, anxiety and de-

personalisation.

‘Depression, Anxiety and Depersonalisation’ is available on Doddlevloggle
