    I'm old enough now not to be surprised by the let down, disappointment, and blues that sometimes come with change -- even when it's something we anticipated with joy. It's usually temporary. And it comes and goes. Maturity has its blessings, and that's a big one. "Cela aussi passera."

    Janice, after this chat, I believe you are more courageous than i thought before. I too am 69 years old and feel I have another chapter or two left to write. I live in the coastal area of Mississippi and am a retired R.N. I have been watching your videos since the beginning and really admire your adventurous spirit. I also adore your fur babies and enjoy seeing them. I have enjoyed all of your videos to date and why not mix it up like you have been doing? I think it is nice to see your surroundings in and out of your apartment as well as your addressing different subjects.

    • @JaniceInFrance

    When I was 20 I went to the USA as part of my training, for 4 months. From London to California, I cried all the way, cried for 2 subsequent days when I got there, and then, I was ok and didn’t want to go home! But exhaustion and a huge upheaval can cause chaos with your body. You are wonderful, so many wouldn’t do what you do. I love the videos, you are true to yourself. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

    Oh my, yes, I had anxiety and panic attacks too that started when I was 21. I am 54 now, but still have anxiety at times and panic. I hope that it will get better. I am trying. Anxiety and depression go together for me and I have to be careful not to get over tired and not to have too much commotion around me.

    You might not call yourself brave, but you ARE courageous! My husband passed away just about seven years ago, after we had been married 47 years - a major change for me, as not only did I lose my best friend, but I had never lived alone before! Many major changes come after one becomes a widow, and none of them are easy! So it takes courage to have a dream, make it a goal and then proceed to carry it out....we all applaud you! Your courage makes me more courageous. BTW, you LOOK French - your style is chic, and the way you carry yourself and apply make up and wear your hair, tells one 'this lady is French"! So - well done, you! I am thoroughly impressed!!!

      I am British and I live in France. It's possible to spot an American from miles away. First, you can hear them. Loud, rude , disrespectful and abrasive. Why do they insist on shouting at people, instead of just talking? Then, their appearance. French people do, now, wear sneakers with dresses. As, especially in Cities, they need to walk many miles. (women carry smarter work shoes in their bags They change on arrival at work.) Americans seem to think it's obligatory to 'advertise' their presence. Sandals, Trainers, Scruffy 'too long' shorts, Loud coloured Shirts or Tee shirts advertising their Cities, Sports team or University ( whether they attended or not 😂) A baseball cap and backpack....sorted, no matter WHERE they are visiting. They attempt to take over, wherever they go. Sorry, I've been to the USA and hated every minute, there, too. Not for me. Never again......

    Omg, Janice! I love you more and more each time I watch you. I MUST address the comment about Americans. I 100% agree with you!! I, myself, am American, and I was born to an American father and Japanese mother and raised in Japan. I’ve been living in the U.S. since 1993. My father chose to live in Japan because he could no longer tolerate American ways after experiencing life in Japan. I often cringe at our behavior!! We can be selfish, rude and obnoxious! I try to teach my children to not be abrasive. I love your philosophies!!! Stay the way you are!!!! ❤️

    Wow, thank you for being so candid. I think one of the hardest things about aging is how easily overwhelmed I become. I honestly find it quite frustrating. I used to like the feeling of being able to juggle multiple things at once and now that just causes anxiety for me. It's inspiring that although you were overwhelmed and anxious you powered through. I think that's just what we have to do sometimes if we truly want to live out our dreams and have adventure in our lives. If we let our fears control our lives then all we would do is sit home on the couch watching tv. Good for you! And, btw, I LOVE seeing your animals in your videos! I find it very comforting.

I am widowed now for 10 years and recently dated a gentleman for several years. I love to dance and competed a few times. He did not like to dance and I let him stop me from doing that. How stupid was that to give up something I love. Well, no more! I broke it off with him and I'm dancing again. When my house sells this spring, I am going to dance my way to Paris, lol! Actually, I'll fly. Truly hope to meet you sometime. You are an incredible lady.

    Got a totally unrelated question: do the Europeans, especially the French, coupon like some professional couponers do here stateside?
    I have one gal out of Atlanta who can coupon like none other than i have seen. She will weekly, of course getting what has coupons, even better if on sale as well, total at the register $150 +/_ and after all is said and done will spend about $25 out of pocket.

    My mother and late brother dealt with depression. I thank God I am the total opposite. I am an chatterbox extrovert. In2020 when we started working from home I got anxiety. Not knowing what it was, I thought I was dying. Due to Covid, I couldn't see my doctor in person. She was such a sweetheart and ordered all sorts of blood tests, including a head scan. Once I realized all was well, I started feeling better. ASMR videos on UA-cam helped tremendously. Thank you for sharing your story.

    Hi Janice ( @Janice In France ) ❤
    I so appreciated you being so honest about your panic attacks.
    I so identify with you! I’m going to be 64 on June 11 and I was 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 diagnosed with panic attack/anxiety disorder when I was 20 years old after going to every doctor and/or specialist for a one year and a half!!
    Back then, around 1978-1979, panic attacks were talked about and most GP doctors didn’t know anything about them, especially the older doctors.
    I was the same as you with feeling like I couldn’t swallow and went from 118lbs to 102lbs in 1 year.
    I saw ENT doctors, Gastroenterologists, heart doctors for those horrible fast and pounding heart palpitations. I wore a Holter monitor several times. I was finally diagnosed, after I just collapsed in a heap and couldn’t stop crying, and my long suffering GP checked me in to our largest hospital’s psychiatric unit. That was a wake up call 👀! I was barely out of my teens and I was with all ages who had mostly had their first psychotic experience or with teenagers who had tried to **** Anyway, a new Psychiatrist from NYC had just returned to her much smaller hometown to partially retire and she dx me immediately.
    I’ll stop this “book” now 😂 but, I would love to email you. Not with horrible stories of panic attacks but, just to be able to write more personal. Did you say you enjoyed getting emails? I know you probably get a lot now!
    I’m not sure if I know your address but, I’m sure I can find it (that is, if you’re still okay with emails).
    I really admire you immensely 😊. Anyone who’s ever suffered with panic attacks (even though they can be controlled by medication now Thank God 🙏🏻) who’s as brave as you are is my heroine ❤

    Love your channel. When you talked about your depression when first arriving in France I want you to know that is completely normal. I was a full time military wife and I noticed as I got older and we got stationed in southern Italy I went through the same thing. You're changing your whole environment, time changes and culture shock. It's very different to travel and visit a different country but totally different to actually go and live in one. It passes thank goodness though.😉

    What you described about arriving in France is very true for many people including myself. The beginning can be stressful and unsettling, which can bring on panic attacks, which I also struggle with. It takes time to settle in and get comfortable. However, once you do, it’s worth it! Kudos to you. You are very resilient and brave.

    Thank you for sharing about your attacks. I got my first one at 48. I thought I was dying. I find that my body could get over stimulated by being around busy areas, even though I am from the city. I, too, am thinking about moving to France but not sure yet. I've been to Nice many years ago and I loved it. I am concerned about taxes with my modest income (heard about 30%). I don't know if I could afford living their with my 3 little dogs! I need a place with mild summers and mild winters. Any ideas where in France with this mild weather. New to your channel and thanks for taking the time for doing them. Peace to you.

      Hello! If you are looking for mild summer and mild winters, I recommend Saint-Jean-de-Luz or Biarritz. These coastal towns in southwestern France are beautiful, vibrant, and won’t often get above 80° F in the summer or below freezing in the winter. I admit they are pricier than most parts of France, but most places in the South will be.

    I just read a short piece on Flaneur. The French way of wandering, sitting, etc to just enjoy instead of being to busy to enjoy. You addressed this with your friends visit on doing a little too much. I think this is a lovely French way of doing things. Sometimes less truly is better.
    I’m always amazed at how people want to dictate what a UA-camr should put in their videos. If I don’t like the content, I watch someone else.

I too suffer from anxiety and panic attacks since I was 23, I am now your age. I still get them. So, I understand completely. You were depressed when you finally got to the apt in your new life because it was a sort of anticlimax, I have had that so many times. You deplete yourself beforehand, with all the preps, and concerns, when it all over, its often a crash landing. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us. 😍
