![30 Lessons about life with a chronic illness... [CC]](/img/n.gif)
‘Sup fam! It’s 5am here in Tokyo and I can’t sleep due to a med making me bounce off the walls, so that means you get a new video! 😜
It’s also my birthday! 🎈So pls wish me a happy birthday 🎂 and if you wanna get me a present, share this video with ur friends on social meeds 😇
💖💖💖 love, Annika
Happy Birthday! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!💖💞💗💕💘💖💝
Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy happy birthday Annika!! 💐🎁🎂🤗❤️ So is your birthday May 23 or May 24? Still 23 here in the States, where "most of your viewers live." 😉 Again, love this video and really hopefully Luci will be willing to be in at least one more sometime in the next two months.
Happy birthday! I get it! I’m on prednisone right now and bouncing off the walls too!
GOD the most RELATABLE thing I've ever heard a UA-cam say is "showering when you're chronically ill is exhausting". NO ONE EVER UNDERSTANDS THIS THANK YOU. I need this on a sticker.
Luci is the best and must be protected at all cost!!
The music that plays everyday at 6pm is to tell children to go home before it gets dark.
Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your daily life in Tokyo. 5 things I liked about this video - Petunia's artful dancing, your wrap shirt, the snack search at the grocery store, you giving yourself breaks to rest and activities to help rehabilitate yourself, you and Luci being a goofy, adorable loving couple.
The Petunia-dance was soooo cute!! As a 23-year old I am glad I am not the only one still sleeping and doing silly dances with stuffed animals! They're so comforting!
Also, shout-out to Luchi for being so so so supportive, loving and also just silly to try and make you smile. Man, you're amazing!
Mathilde Cominotto I'm 32 and still sleep with a teddy. She's a pig and is perfectly shaped to tuck under my chin so I've got so used to her that I can't sleep without her. She also always travels in my handbag when I'm away for a night or on holiday cos it's safer to have her near me. Last weekend I went to a make up trade show with her in my handbag after I checked out of the hotel cos I didn't trust the car to keep her safe. Can you tell I love her?
@@Charliefarley170287 I do the same!! My moose always travels close with me because I am scared something would happen. I also have this scarf I sleep with. It used to be my mom's but when I was 5 was like "this is soft and smells like mom, it shall be mine." She had no choice than to give it to me (thanks mom!!). It makes me feel very safe, especially when anxious and when I feel the scarf my brain is trained to fall asleep, to stop worrying. I sleep super fast!
Ex-boyfriends laughed at me sometimes but they're the ones sleeping bad!
I'm so happy to hear that other people are like me! I'm 22 and it is so comforting to hug my squishmallow stuffed bunny I got recently
This was so nice to see! My partner is disabled, I'm his luci I suppose, and it's so nice seeing someone living a 'normal' that's similar to ours. Thanks so much for sharing your day, and I hope you have a lovely birthday 💚
LUCI AND ANNIKA ARE SO FRICKEN CUTE ALMSKSJSLSHDKDBEKCN
I can't wait for your wrap shirt tutorial it looks super nice ! Also thanks for the "sharing 5 good things about your day when you had a bad day" tip, we'll be doing that with my partner in the future as I'm sure it'll help a little
The five good things really does help. I would get my children to think of three good things when they would come home from school really unhappy from being bullied and it helped them remember a good thing that had happened, even if it was just a hug, kiss and "I love you" from Mum or Dad.
"You're the best!"
"Yeah."
Love that energy.
Exam season has hit once again and it's beyond lovely to see someone else with the same struggles like chronic illnesses and migraines actually going about their day and seeing you don't have to be productive from 6am to 10pm 🕙
Watching you two together is so freaking sweet. You two just radiate love and it's awesome. I get you on the showers being super tiring. I'm glad I'm not the only one like that.
Loved this video! Luci is so supportive. I also laughed SO hard when he mentioned an 18th century bundling board, I make that same joke all the time. So funny! Thank you for sharing your day with us! And happy birthday!!!
As someone with Elhers Danlos Syndrome, it’s so nice to see your day be somewhat similar to mine. It takes me hours to get up and ready to do anything, and once I’m up, I’m afraid to stop because once I do, I can’t keep going. Also, it’s so true that once it’s actually time for bed, nope, you’re awake now, TOO BAD. Great video Annika 💕
As someone with chronic pain (constant migraine & fibro for 8 years), everything about this vlog was accurate. The sleeping in, the pain hunger, and the glasses. Oh, the pink glasses. Let's just say, I felt this in my bones!
I love seeing glimpses of what days are actually like with chronic illness because I have one (I have skeletal asymmetry in my legs and hips which affects the way I walk and move). And sometimes days are going well and then all of a sudden something happens. Like last week I was having a fantastic day and then I slipped and fell down the stairs (with different length legs, stairs are not quite so easy or intuitive so me falling on them isn’t that unusual but it had been over six months since my last fall). Luckily I managed to land on a more squishy and not bony part of my body so nothing broken or sprained but I still had one heck of a bruise. But it kinda put a damper on my plans. And that’s okay. I don’t have to do everything at once. But seeing you honestly sharing about struggles and physiotherapy (which we call PT in the US) and pain is nice not only because it is relatable for way more of us than society would like you to believe but because it shows that our days aren’t that different and we still have more things we can do than we can’t. And it might spur some empathy and make people think before they assume. While my disability is physical and structural it isn’t very obvious unless you look very closely at how I walk or my shoes so I get a lot of “you’re young; you can’t have joint pain”. So maybe seeing your video will remind people to not assume based on appearances what people’s lives are like.
Claire Woerner not a love for you falling down stairs (ouch!!!) but a love for your comment in general. I hope to raise awareness that chronic illness and disability isn’t tragic, isn’t sad: it can be tough and we’re super strong but we have days just like anyone else - even if we have to take more time doing things or pace our days out differently or spend extra time resting.
I'm having a not-so-good pain day so l saved this video to watch when doing my own physio exercises and it made them much more bearable 😁😁 I really appreciate how you show all the ups and downs of chronic pain. It's nice to see someone else in a situation similar to me. I love your videos and they're so enjoyable to watch. Keep on doing you!!
Petunia dancing [10 hours version] [Bass boosted]
The music that plays at 6 is actually an emergency broadcast test! It’s usually called the “5 o clock bell” but the time can vary. Kids also use it to know when to go home before dark.
you're an eye-saver! my computer is too bright for me at night, even at the lowest brightness, but i like to stay up later and f.lux is going to help so much! i didn't know what to look for before, so thank you so much for talking about it :)
yes, you are a legend, thanks Annika! 😄✨
Just be sure to turn it off if you're doing any work that involves colors, such as video editing (with color correction) or digital painting.
I absolutely love your "5 things" exercise! I was literally lying in bed almost in tears with chronic pain, being snuggled by my husband because he is awesome... your bit about separate beds made me laugh, so I backed the video up and unplugged my headphones so my husband could hear. Then we paused as you were sharing positive moments so we could share our own!
Honestly, these videos help so much more than you know sometimes. Thanks for the distraction and the inspiration,
You are just darling! I too suffer from multiple conditions. I have migraines, mental health disorders and multiple physical ailments. There are days. Your videos make me smile. Thank you and I wish you the best!
I'm stealing your "five favorite things" thing. I love that! I've been really struggling to find more ways to stay positive (I struggle with clinical depression) and I think that's a wonderful way to end on a positive and happy note!
I had a bout with Vasculitis for the first time this year. It was incredibly painful and uncomfortable. I can't imagine what it is like to have a chronic form of it. I want to thank you for sharing your day, and thank you for continuing to get up every morning.
Aww luchiano is so sweet he gives you massages😍😍#couplegoals
Happy birthday! (Instagram told me). That was an amazing rendition of grocery shopping while on pain meds. Such truth. Many snacks.
Ooh. This applies.
5. Successfully completed a filling so that it's done.
4. Kids were well behaved at the fire station.
3. Bought a Gertie pattern in the real world.
2. Was able to feed my kids.
1. Am maybe getting a wheelchair soon.
I shower about once a week too, and maybe wash my hair an extra two times.
My condition is worsing so I'm considering cutting my hair to make life easier. I love your hair kinda maybe going to be stealing that look 😘
Try dry shampoo! it means I only have to wash my hair once a week :) and now mines long enough to tie up I can put it up in a loose messy bun and last a few more days than a week if I need to. Also buying wipes (Baby wipes for my body, face wipes, and 'intimate' wipes) mean that when I physically can not shower I can still feel clean. Theyre easy enough that someone cam help bathe you too if you're really having a bad day
Happy Birthday Annika! I hope you have a wonderful and migraine-free day ❤️ Thank you for sharing this video with us, and that tip at the end. I've struggling a lot with anxiety and I think It may help me change my perspective on the day a bit. Also, I just wanted to say that you and Luci are absolutely adorable. Everytime you looked at each other, my heart felt so warm. Sometimes I forget that true love actually exists, not the Disney movie type, but the actual and real one. Where support your partner through the good and the bad, and can look at them with such love. And I went waay off topic XD But Idk, for some reason It made me very emotional and I wanted to express It. Anyways, love you both and I hope you're both doing okay ❤️
I feel you on the migraine induced junk food binge! My life every few days. Happy birthday!
Your relationship with Luci is so pure and healthy I almost cried, and you seem to be such a nice person to be friends with
I love the 5 favourite things! I don’t have a chronic illness, but I have an inner critic who always seems to be on overdrive... to get perspective I really like journaling 3 things I’m proud of, 3 things I’m grateful for and 3 lessons. Can’t wait to see a pattern / video for that wrap top!! So pretty 😍😍😍
The suggestion of listing 5 good things about your day is priceless. Thank you. I'll be doing this with my Love today~
A late congratulations for your birthday! :D
And your days are similar to mine! Chronic illnesses are so hard some days! But even then there are joyful moments and things!
And thanks for the tips!
Girl on pain killers buys many snacks...
(I know this feel)
Cracked Tea Cup YES!
That being able to shower only once a week, really hit home. Thanks for sharing your struggles!
Please keep making chronic illness videos! As a fellow spoonie they help me soo much
you guys are so sweet and it almost feels like I was actually hanging out with you. You showed some of my favourite snacks in that grocery store trip (that tuna sandwich tho *cries*) and made me miss Tokyo a little tonight. I hope you're having a great birthday! Big hugs to the both of you!
Happy birthday Annika!
I'm chronically ill too and sometimes it's hard to imagine myself as an adult with a partner, this video was helpful for that, so thank you
Can I just say I love your videos!! I get migraines all the time and this video helped me so much to not feel so alone in my love for sewing, but also how migraines can bring a huge stop to my day. Thank you so much:) also your bf is amazing, he's so sweet!
i really love your tinted glasses, mine are tinted too (thanks sensory processing disorder) and seeing other people with them really boosts morale. (also that sunglasses at night solidarity)
Just seeing how he looks at you while you talk is so wholesome
💖 All the luck and love of the world for this amazing couple 💖
aaaah the wrap top looks so good!!!! also i'm so happy your migraines aren't happening that often anymore ❤️
this was so nice!!!! Also, I just wanted to say thank you, because your video's pretty much taught me how to sew a few years back and now I'm sitting watching this video in a shirt that I made myself! sewing is one of my most valuable skills now and that's due to you! Thank you so, so, sew, much!!! :)
You guys are so cute and I love your little "Daily Top Five." I'm gonna start doing that.
I actually really love that you caption your videos it gets pretty loud sometimes where I work and sometimes you post when I'm at work and I can't resist watching LOL
Thank you soooo much for the f.lux recommandation. I had really bad headaches when I used to study with my computer. I am preparing for big exam now and I had headache only once since I use f.lux. I have also my iPhnone set on “NightShift” all day and it helps a lot. So once again, than you ❤️
More chronic Illness videos! I've just been diagnosed with a chronic Illness and I won't lie feeling pretty depressed about it all. How do you stay positive!!
It’s tricky, especially when first diagnosed - hang in there, I promise it DOES get easier! Be really really really REALLY kind to yourself. It’s easier said than done but it goes a long way. I meditate a lot (Honest Guys on UA-cam make free meditation videos that have helped me through some really tough sleepless nights), and seeing a clinical psychologist is a really good idea too. Also talking to other people going through the same thing - because it can certainly be isolating, especially if friends/family just don’t get it (and it can be impossible for them to ever “fully” get it!) Wishing you the best 💖
Honestly it’s so nice seeing someone’s day-to-day life whilst managing chronic illnesses. It gives me a lot of hope that one day I can manage my chronic illness well enough to live a life on top of it too. I’d love to live in another country and be able to work (to some extent) eventually. Also you two are so cute 💜
Da'awwwww, how come I can't like this more than ONCE?!?!? Annika this sort of video is exactly what I was hoping you could make! It was as if I was watching the two of you making a live podcast! And Luci, I know it was hard for you to get used to being in front of the camera, but you're doing a REALLY great job with it. You both just... I just... ahhh, I just ADORE you!! 🤗🥰🤗
*ahem* Okay, I think I'm done gushing here. Fantastic job, Annika, and thank you SO SO SO VERY much for making this! ❤️❤️❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIKA! Thank you for sharing your day with us and for the tip about the 5 things you enjoyed during your day...I love that idea. 😊🌹
Thank you for this video. I am 43 and 8 years ago I was diagnosed with SLE lupus and I am a major crafter. Your video is an inspiration to me that even on my bad days I am ok to keep going. Just taking more breaks will never cause more harm but be better. Thank you. You are one of the strongest people I watch and hope one day know.
Thank you so much for showing the everyday reality of living with chronic illnesses. I love your videos :)
The love between you two and how helpful he is for you is heart warming. I’m chronically ill too and my husband is super great but gets worn out. I think we’ll start doing the 5 things too!
I have the blue light filter on my phone and keep my laptop switched to night light so the blues arent as harsh. Whenever I turn the filters off now it also burns my eyes.
I get chronic migraines and i used to have a collection of different color and darkness sunglasses so i can wear the best pair for the migraine at the time and intensity.
Also luci and my husband are very similar. thank the gods for them helping take care of those of us with chronic illnesses. Without them life would be so much harder!
Tsarina Romanov I’m convinced Luci was sent to me by some divine force haha, he’s too good!! Glad you have a good partner too!
Love your day, as a older person with a chronic illness I can relate to you wholeheartedly plus I’m a crafter and just love sewing, mostly quilts lately but I have had a very painful episode and can’t walk or sit up for the last week, I will definitely be trying your 5 things that make you happy, looking forward to your next post, xxxx
There's an amazing CA lottery ad where there's a shot of a cheese display and a young man's voiceover. In an amazed tone he realizes, "I can buy all this cheese!?" Your snack aisle shot reminded me of this ad.... thanks.
Bundling board, ha ha ha. Sure. 💝
I woke up feeling nauseus with chronic pain, so just seeing somebody else with chronic health issues makes me feel less lonely, thanks!
Grocery shopping in a new country is an adventure. I was in Taiwan with my husband (his work) and bought what I thought was a bag of limes. I got to taste green lychee but it was not so good to flavor my ramen.
I love your channel because I have multiple chronic illnesses that cause me to not be able to walk some days without crippling pain, and the shower thing is so true, but my hair looks awful if I don't wash it daily! You are such a beautiful light, and its wonderful that you are giving a voice to those of us who's health isnt "normal".
Currently watching this video in the midst of a very strong headache migraine and it just made me feel 10x better and. Man. Seeing chronically ill people live and be people and have a life like mine that’s hard and stuff is really nice and I appreciate that. Not everyone can do those crazy vlogs and do stuff all day every day and it’s reassuring that you can still like live in Tokyo and do stuff while being sick and working through it. Idk. Just loved this and love you and you always make me feel like a normal person
Get you a significant other that looks at you the way Luci looks at Annika. The definition of "couple goals"!
as someone who also has multiple chronic illnesses (asthma, allergic rhinitis, rosecea, plus mental illnesses) i know how hard it can be to wake up in the morning, having to take meds every day for the rest of your life and even having to take special care on certain things to just have a life that is as normal as possible. I'm proud of you for being so open and positive about your illnesses.
Oh hey! Super cool that you’re friends with Simon and Martina! Please do more videos together bc when I saw their video that you were in I got so excited! 💖
as a hearing person who just happens to really enjoy/prefer captions on almost everything I watch (probably due to my deaf brother-in-law), thank you! not all youtubers think about or take the time to add in close captioning, and I really appreciate it, Annika. great video!
God bless you both💕 we know about chronic illness and it sure does make you appreciate the simple things and see the beauty in life.
Very late to the party for this video, but I've been slowly coming to terms over time with how slow i start my mornings/days since I've been experiencing the onset of fibromyalgia in the last year. Seeing you taking your time to do things at the pace that works for yourself makes me think, "see, Annika goes her own pace, i shouldn't be pushing myself past mine!" Thank you for sharing your day with us!
the pure and absolute love that Luci and you have for one another is so wonderful to watch and I thank you for letting us have a glimpse into your personal life
I hope one day to find somebody who loves me unconditionally like Annika & Luci love each other 💜 happy birthday Annika!!
Aww you two are sooo cute together! Some very solid advice about dealing with pain as well
I can so relate to the post migraine loopy-ness. I can also relate to the sudden ‘hi I’m migraine’ attacks and the nearly everyday attacks.
Awww loved this!!!!
Glad your Migraine is better, I don't have a chronic illness like you do but I do have Migraine's and they can be very difficult to deal with sometimes but I make it through, I so enjoyed your "day in the life " video it was so much fun to watch, and you are so blessed to have such a great man in your life.
loved this video!!
The top is so cute. And just wanted to say you got a great Man there! You can realy see how much you too love eachother.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Anika, happy birthday to you!
Love you Annika thank you for this video
Happy birthday Annika!
This was beautiful. You guys are lovely.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for this really nice video!
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday! Really loved this video ❤️
I loved this video. Always happy when you upload.
The village I lived in played music at 6am as well as 6pm. It was nice in the evening, but not so much in the morning.
I love seeing you two together! You have so much love and respect for each other! It's how my hubby and I are together 😍 I wish everyone could have relationships like that 💚
This was such a heartwarming video :) both of you guys' positivity is so inspiring, especially so since you're not afraid to hide when you're feeling low. As someone who's always been "the positive one" whenever I feel down I feel like something is wrong with me. But I'm slowly coming to realize that everyone has times when they feel down, and no one can be happy ALL the time! Thank you for this wonderful and insightful video!!
Thr top 5 is really sweet x my partner and I do a "I'm grateful for you today" it's really cute 😊
happy birthday Annika!! hope you have a good day and feel better soon ❤️
Having a very meh day and dealing with random things and I just think your videos are so uplifting and fun to watch. It doesn’t hurt that you love to sew, because I do, too! Thank you, Annika for making fun and inspiring videos. You’ve so helped my mood today! ❤️❤️ Now I’m off to sew up a bag for work.
Happy birthday, girl!
I’m really glad that your glasses are helping that much
I love you guys!
Happy B-day Annikaaaa! 🤩💜
Happy birthday! Loved this video. Looking forward to the wrap top video, prototype 1 was cute.
Happy birthday Annika! Thanks so much for you being you! You are such a joy and I appreciate that you share parts of your life with us!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday Annika! Loved the video, you and Luci are the sweetest!
Happy birthday beautiful! Can't wait to see the tutorial for that wrap shirt once you have it finished!
thank you for the amazing 5 things advice :) you guys are so good
This is such a good and wholesome video. Thanks for sharing something sweet with the world
