I just came across your videos bc I’m a BIG Disney world lover! Around a year and half ago I was sitting at Chef Arts Smiths Homecoming at Disney Springs and my heart randomly started beating for over 175 BMP it got up to around 200. I was taken by ambulance to the ER. It was a very traumatic experience for me. They kept me in the hospital for a night and the next day. Once I went home, I for the first time experienced extreme anxiety. It was causing palpitations, blurry vision, and my mind was on a constant worry. I am a follower of Christ. Well while we were in the hospital my mom and grandma took an Uber back to port Orleans so grab our luggage. The Uber driver told my mom that he was a preacher. And they had small talk. Then mom said the Uber driver said that he feels God is leading him to tell my mom this. Then the Uber drive proceeds to say things that happen to us that day that my mother never told him about. He said there’s a reason you were not able to get in to HS today. (We tried around lunch to switch our trip dates which would have allowed us in HS that day. Everyone from Disney told my mom that there would be no problem getting that done. Even the person at the window and all the sudden she told us no) then the Uber driver tells my mom that God is not done with her daughter and that we need to stop worrying. It was such an amazing Godly moment. And those words truly helped me overcome that situation. I really have found TRUE peace with Jesus. He is a God of goodness. He will not finish without it being good. A few months later I got a call from the hospital that Disney paid my $40,000 hospital stay and ambulance. God even took care of the financial part. He is not done with you. And the only way to find true pure peace is through him. I highly recommend the Whoa That’s Good podcast. Sadie Robertson is the host and she struggles with anxiety, but I love how she words it. She says anxiety is not who I am. I think we all tend to say we have anxiety. But no, we don’t have it, it’s not permanent, it may feel like that in the moment but it’s not who we are. It doesn’t have that much power over us. It’s just something we struggle with. And trust me, it can feel extremely big. Before experiencing it I thought it was all mental, I had no idea how much anxiety can cause physical illness. I feels very real. But I know God is bigger than anxiety and he has overcame it. I will be praying for you friend! I know that is is extremely big in the moment. I remember crying to my mom and asking her when will I ever feel normal again. I felt very hopeless but that’s a lie from Satan. It is not true. A year later and I am so much better spiritually, mentally, and physically. Yes I still do have episodes. But they don’t last long bc I been able to recognize it in the moment. I start by telling myself this is just anxiety, I am not dying. Dying is a lie in this moment. Then I start to pray for peace from God. I hope this helps🩷 I truly understand where this is coming from and how scary and real it feels. Remember you always have a good God.
this truly left me at a loss for words ❤️ thank you for this long and kind message and this truly helped me so much!! I appreciate you and I am so glad that you're here and apart of this community ✨
Big therapy advocate here. Once you start processing the things that cause you anxiety, you will feel that weight lift off your chest. From one anxious girly to another, sending you love and strength and hope you find the peace you need soon 💛
As someone who has grown up with debilitating anxiety and a phobia of vomit, know they you are heard and seen! I also had a long period in my life where my anxiety wouldn’t allow me to eat because I was terrified I’d throw up. I couldn’t just eat a normal meal at home, I was lucky to get a bite or two of food in. Know that there is hope! With therapy and a psychiatrist I have healed so so much. I’m able to eat with friends and not stress/worry constantly about if an episode it going to come up. Keep on keeping on, you’ve got this! Congratulations on your wedding! September is the best time to get married! (I’m biased since I got married in September too 😂)
As someone who has struggled with anxiety and health issues I absolutely relate to what you are going through. You are not alone. It controls your whole life and you feel like it won’t end. But it will get better. Be so patient with yourself. Lean into the things that bring you joy even if it’s so small. Sometimes when I’m struggling I go watch your old Disney vlogs and it truly helps me even in the littlest ways.
Something I always repeat to myself in my worst anxiety moments is “just do the next right thing”. I know you’re also a big frozen fan too, and genuinely that song is such a big help and reminder that when everything feels so scary and out of control, all you can do is take the step directly in front of you and not look too far ahead ❤️ i love you and thank you for sharing this vulnerability with us!
Sending you love and encouragement. My 18 year old daughter struggles with terrible anxiety and depression and it’s very difficult. There are good days and terrible days. Just make sure you take time for yourself and let your love ones help you and definitely see a good therapist. My daughter is not the same care free person she once was but she’s an amazing strong young woman that’s doing her best to get through each day. One thing that my daughter wears is an anxiety necklace that helps you take proper deep breaths. It’s on amazon and it’s great because it’s portable and discrete. As far as your youtube family… we are here for you if you post a million videos in a month or if you post none. Feel better Brianna, we love you. Also… Cory, we absolutely love you for taking care of her while you were going through your own stuff. He’s a keeper Brianna ❤
I am so sorry to hear what you’ve been through for the last few months! I’m relieved it seems you’re doing/feeling much better though. It’s very important to not only do therapy during these low times, but also when you’re on a high. Gotta keep up the mental/emotional maintenance! Also, hearing your thoughts about nausea/vomiting is interesting, how do you believe you’ll handle your first trimester of pregnancy if it happens? Those are usually very common symptoms, so I’m just curious. Anyway, so glad you took the time and didn’t rush your return, but I love that you’re back 🫶🏾
I’ll never forget my first go with anxiety. It’s a part of my life now and with time, I’ve learned to work with it instead of fight it. ❤ Therapy really helped! For the nausea, I keep mini alcohol wipes in my purse. The smell really helps curb the motion sickness feeling. You’ve got this xx.
Brianna! I am literally crying. I sympathize with your anxiety story. I, too, suffered from panic attacks and life is much better now but initially it was quite scary. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us. Praying for you guys always!
Brianna, I can totally relate to your anxiety journey. I never struggled with any physical symptoms from anxiety until a combination of life events in a short period of time (close relative death, moving, and work stress) completely threw me for a loop. Just like you, I also had an emergency room trip to make sure my heart was ok and it was very scary. Anxiety can completely overtake your body and it’s very tough to understand until you’ve personally experienced it. I’m proud of you for talking about your experience and how you are doing! We are here for you and I truly hope you start feeling better soon ❤
Brianna, I am here for you! I am a big advocate for therapy but I know that it doesn’t work for everyone. I hope you find what works for you. ❤️sending love
I’m sitting here crying with you . Brianna, I so so feel and understand all that you described as I have lived with this sort of anxiety for the past 15 years. I am so deeply sorry you are experiencing this. You are so very strong and intuitive on how to manage this season of your life which leads me to believe you will get through this and grow. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty.
Firstly, welcome back! I live with severe Anxiety and OCD. Work is my biggest trigger, so what you were describing was spot on. Before I went to therapy and started taking medication, I couldn’t eat, sleep, focus, or anything. I wasn’t living. While I’m doing better now, it still lives with me and shows itself practically every day. What I’m getting at is, although this will live with you, it doesn’t have to consume you. Some days will be better than others, but as long as you are open and honest with yourself and your support system, you will get through it. Thanks for being honest and talking about this with us. It helps others know they aren’t alone, and you aren’t either! ❤
Thanks for being so brave to be so open and honest with us. Its so inspiring to see how positive and joyous you are despite a rough and debilitating and scary and stressful month. I think your plans to not put so much pressure on yourself, and to just do what u can when u can. You certainly have been missed on my feed. But looking after yourself def needs to be your priority. I still think 2024 can be your best one yet.
I’m so sorry, Brianna! Cried alongside you as I unfortunately know this feeling all too well. I promise it will get easier. But the feeling of constant anxiety and panic attacks is so overwhelming and scary. You aren’t alone and good for you for reaching out for support and help🤍
Oh Brianna, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I got emotional watching because almost this exact thing happened to my husband last year and it was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to us. Sending love and hoping you feel better. ❤
You are not alone. ❤ It’s so wise of you to take a step back and do what is best for your health and your heart. Do not worry about your followers one tiny bit. We’ll love the videos when you post them and we’ll be SO grateful that you are prioritizing what is best for you. Sending you prayers and love and light. ❤
Girl, you are not alone. I had almost the same exact experience almost the same time of the year too. In mid to late January I got sick and didn’t feel good for like 2 weeks. My antibiotics and steroids made me stomach hurt and made me feel sick and that spiraled me. My anxiety was sooo bad. Honestly, you said it yourself that it’s important to talk to a professional. Starting therapy was the best decision I could have made for myself. Every day is a new day 💕
got emotional with you watching this, because I know just how debilitating anxiety is and can be. praying for you! so excited for all of your upcoming videos 🫶🏼
Omg Brianna, I wish I could hug you through the screen because as someone who has dealt with anxiety since I was 12 (I’m currently 23) it’s so not fun. I’ve struggled with anxiety for the longest and I’ve also dealt with the fear of reliving a traumatic physical experience too. To keep things short and sweet, all I want to say is just to keep going. Omg keep pushing through day by day, and some days will be easier, some days will be harder, but what matters is you slowly learn that part of it is just your brain trying to protect you. Everyone experiences anxiety in different ways and it sucks but what helps is you begin to learn what can trigger it and how you can begin to just live with it (in a good way). Because unfortunately it doesn’t just go away, maybe it does for others. For me, it’s been a long and hard journey but anxiety runs in my family a lot😅. You’re an amazing human and I wish nothing but peace and happiness for you, both mentally and physically. Just keep learning and pushing forward through this journey. I promise you’ll become stronger both physically and mentally the more you know. We’re humans, and this is just a yucky thing that comes with it. Also a big note that I learned, YOU ARE 100% NOT ALONE. Girly, I feel you, and see you through and through. No matter how big or small you think your anxiety is, I can safely say there is someone out there who has felt the EXACT same way as you. Like me for example, I understand your fear of feeling physically uncomfortable and scared. Just hear others stories and experiences. It begins to make you feel more at peace knowing you’re not alone in this. Thank you for sharing this and being vulnerable with us. Keep going 🤍🩷❤️🩹
I’ve been a subscriber since day 1, your very first video and have never missed one yet. This video is probably my favorite one. I love how real, open, and honest you are. Rooting for you and Cory always! 💖 Hang in there girlie. “It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.”
Glad you and Cory are doing better Brianna. Sending hugs and lots of healing vibes. You are in my thoughts and continued prayers. Anxiety is scary and it drains you. Rest is the best, taking deep breathes too. You had me in tears. Because deal with it too. Wish you rest & continued strength sweetheart. BIG hugs. 🤎🤎🤎
I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that:( I struggle with anxiety a lot and when you said you can’t wait to sleep to be able to be peaceful and not have that anxiety I really related to that. I hope you are feeling better and know your followers love you and everything you do❤ take the time you need and know we always have your back❤
We all love you and are here for you! Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do! We love you and I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers ❤❤❤
I’ve just recently discovered your channel through your Disney vlogs and love your content ❤ so sorry to hear you’ve had a tough time but thank you for being so open and honest! My husband went through a very similar thing with a sudden onset of anxiety and panic attacks, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has helped him massively…just something to think about if you haven’t already!
I’m finishing your video tonight when I get home but just wanted to comment that I am SO happy to see your video pop up on my screen. I was worried if you and Cory were ok from the last few videos you posted. Sending so much internet love, confetti, and cookies y’all’s way!! 🎉❤ Ok I finished your video and OMG I wish I could give you a hug through the screen. Thank you for being so vulnerable and I feel your pain through the screen. My sister suffers from debilitating anxiety and will go weeks off the grid as her coping mechanism. Some days are good and some days aren’t but just give yourself grace and room to lean into the things that bring you joy. So much love for you and Cory!! ❤
I'm so sorry that you have been having a tough go this year and that you had to experience anxiety and the trauma of it all, it really is a bitch and I wish no one had to go through it. I hope everything is on the up for you guys and that you got some good Disney therapy last week! Sending you positive vibes and energy that get you through this! Happy to see you back on UA-cam and glad you took the time off you needed. You're not alone - sending love and peace!
Hello! I just wanted to let you know to hang in there. I know you didn’t want too much medical advice but I want you to know you aren’t alone. I suffer from anxiety, and have for many years. It occasionally flares up… especially during times of stress. Therapy, meditation etc can certainly help but I found that also taking meds for anxiety can really help. As for health scares, anxiety often gets worse. I also have congenital heart disease so I totally understand how anxiety related to your heart can be super scary! Anxiety causes rapid heart rate and chest discomfort… so you question if it’s anxiety or something other than that. Do follow up with the cardiologist. It may nothing but it maybe something. Sounds like you have a good support system so you will be just fine!
Brianna - I just want to reach out and give you the biggest hug. Anxiety is such a bitch and SO debilitating. You are definitely not alone. Thank you for opening up about your experience. That is a LOT to have go on all within a few weeks of each other so of course you're body is going to react. There are times when your body just says enough is enough. Try to remind yourself that these feelings are temporary and will pass. You are doing the best you can in this moment and that is enough. I'm so glad you're back but take all the time you need ❤
such A BITCH right!? and my body said enough is enough and needed a break and it was so needed to take a step back and our trip gave us the time we needed to refresh and reset for our mental health! ❤ thank you for such a sweet note!
you are not alone!! I feel so much for what you are going through, I have been there myself, right down to the fear of vomit. Give yourself grace, get the help you need, therapy is a great idea!❤
I am crying with you 🥲 I feel for you girly ! I too suffer from anxiety so I know exactly where you are coming from. Take all the time that you need to feel better ❤ happy to see you again .
Brianna just know I am sending so much love and positivity your way. As someone who has struggled with high functioning anxiety my whole life 90% of the time I can function 100% normal but when life kicks me while I'm down forget it, I'm down for the count! Just know this might not be your forever but to take extra care during stressful times! It sounds like you've got a great a plan ahead! I will look forward to your videos as you post them! Just turned notifications on so I don't miss any! ❤
As someone who also deals with pretty bad anxiety and emetophobia I so feel you and therapy has been sososo helpful to managing my everyday life!! I’m so glad you’re back and I hope the rest of this year is on the up for you guys🫶🏻🫶🏻
Aww are you from RI? I’m a Rhode Islander and just stumbled upon your channel yesterday and binged your newest Disney vlogs, loved them! Heard you mention little Rhody and wanted to say hey and hope you’re feeling better overall😊
Brianna, as someone who struggles daily with social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorders, I am here with you. I feel you and I see you. These disorders can swallow you whole and change how you live your day to day life. It is so crazy hearing you share the difficulties that you and Corey faced because around the same time, the same exact thing happened to me and my fiance. She had some bad news in regards to her job that sent me on a spiral for three weeks, I could not focus, I could not go to class, I felt so emotionally drained and I felt incredibly alone because what happened with her job was not her fault. I felt guilty to even put the stress of my emotions on her while she was going through her own battles. I can 100% relate to what you are currently going through and you are not alone. 🤍
You poor thing! I feel so bad for you. I have dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life. It’s so hard to deal with. just remember to always communicate with each other. I hope you both get to feeling better soon. Maybe ask your about a script for Zofran. I have bad stomach issues too and it’s been a wonder drug for me.
Ahhhh, I was worried about you! Glad to see you back, and look forward to watching this. Seeing the other comments, I’m glad you took care of your mental health ❤️
I'm so glad to see you back and that you're feeling better. I'm so sorry it's been so rough for you this past month. I'm proud of you for getting through all of this. I'm hopeful that having such a tough start to the year means everything else going forward will be easier. I'm glad you and Cory were able to take a trip to Disney and relax. Thank you for being so vulnerable. Can't wait to watch your Disney vlogs. Take it easy, girl!
I missed you on UA-cam, but your physical and mental health should always be the priority! So glad you were still able to go on your Disney trip and that you & Cory are doing better :)
I knew I was suppose to watch this today 💕 I’ve been going through a few of the same things over here so THANK U for openly sharing your struggles and how you coped. You are most definitely NOT alone in how you’re dealing! Looking forward to all that is to come 💕 -your little sis Emily
I had the same issue- high HR… all Dr pointed to anxiety… went to ER (they checked for blood clot, low blood levels- anemia, everything). All was negative. Ended up having something called POTs - often misdiagnosed as anxiety. I now have a cardiac device placed in. If this goes on… please get checked out further ❤
Thank you for sharing I hope you start feeling better my daughter has a little anxiety I love all your your videos and I learned a lot from you and packing and 50 more days I'll be heading to Disney 62 years old almost 63 I'll be looking forward to seeing your newest videos take care of yourself just do what you can do don't overdo it hope you feel better soon I will be praying for you
Oh my goodness the SAME exact situation happened to me when I was on that pill. The anxiety came out of no where. It was awful and I felt like no one understood. My Dr. ended up changing my pill to a different one because of the hormones. After I switched the anxiety went away and I don’t have periods anymore! I’m so sorry you had to go through this❤
Oh girl! I had somewhat of this same experience back when I was 14 and have been coping ever since. As a fellow type A, list making, planner extraordinaire; those small things pile up and can come crashing down when we don't make space for them. 100% agree your body was telling you to slow down and let me tell you, the body knows what it needs and wants, not the brain. The brain is super powerful and can sometimes make you feel 30x worse than it really is. I found it helpful for me if I'm feeling anxious/nauseous to ask myself if this is my body needing something or my brain. I took that deep breath with you Brianna and I'm so happy to see you back and feeling a little better! 🤍
Awww girl, I cried with you!! I suffer from anxiety as well and it’s definitely tough but know that you have so many people here for you. The birth control pill I’m on is vienva and it’s been really great for me with regular cycles as well as hormonally. I’m also definitely someone that can’t deal with any throw up of any kind. I always tell my family that if they puke in my car, I will crash 😂 I’m here for you and hope it gets to be a better year soon!! 💕
Brianna I am so so so glad to see you back once again and I really really missed your vlogs so so much you are my truly inspiration and I will support you so so much💖🥹🥹
I haven’t finished the video but I just want to send you so much love and peace. I suffer from anxiety and I have gone through all of it, the not sleeping, the guilt, the not eating and the ER visits. All I can say is that it gets better, life can suck at times and anxiety makes it worse but it will get better and you will overcome❤
welcome back! i’m glad you guys are getting better! thank you for feeling safe to share what you’re comfortable with🤍 i've loved the content you’ve been open to share and can’t wait to see what you’re channel holds!

I’m so sorry, Brianna! Cried alongside you as I unfortunately know this feeling all too well. I promise it will get easier. But the feeling of constant anxiety and panic attacks is so overwhelming and scary.
You aren’t alone and good for you for reaching out for support and help🤍
thank you for sharing ❤❤ and it feels so much better to be on the up and up!
Oh Brianna, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I got emotional watching because almost this exact thing happened to my husband last year and it was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to us. Sending love and hoping you feel better. ❤
thank you so much, I am feeling so much better and 100% on the mend now!
You are not alone. ❤ It’s so wise of you to take a step back and do what is best for your health and your heart. Do not worry about your followers one tiny bit. We’ll love the videos when you post them and we’ll be SO grateful that you are prioritizing what is best for you. Sending you prayers and love and light. ❤
thank you and yes taking a step back was exactly what I needed ❤
Girl, you are not alone. I had almost the same exact experience almost the same time of the year too. In mid to late January I got sick and didn’t feel good for like 2 weeks. My antibiotics and steroids made me stomach hurt and made me feel sick and that spiraled me. My anxiety was sooo bad. Honestly, you said it yourself that it’s important to talk to a professional. Starting therapy was the best decision I could have made for myself. Every day is a new day 💕
you're so right that every single day is a new day! ❤ you're not alone!
got emotional with you watching this, because I know just how debilitating anxiety is and can be. praying for you! so excited for all of your upcoming videos 🫶🏼
thank you so much ❤
Omg Brianna, I wish I could hug you through the screen because as someone who has dealt with anxiety since I was 12 (I’m currently 23) it’s so not fun. I’ve struggled with anxiety for the longest and I’ve also dealt with the fear of reliving a traumatic physical experience too. To keep things short and sweet, all I want to say is just to keep going. Omg keep pushing through day by day, and some days will be easier, some days will be harder, but what matters is you slowly learn that part of it is just your brain trying to protect you. Everyone experiences anxiety in different ways and it sucks but what helps is you begin to learn what can trigger it and how you can begin to just live with it (in a good way). Because unfortunately it doesn’t just go away, maybe it does for others. For me, it’s been a long and hard journey but anxiety runs in my family a lot😅. You’re an amazing human and I wish nothing but peace and happiness for you, both mentally and physically. Just keep learning and pushing forward through this journey. I promise you’ll become stronger both physically and mentally the more you know. We’re humans, and this is just a yucky thing that comes with it. Also a big note that I learned, YOU ARE 100% NOT ALONE. Girly, I feel you, and see you through and through. No matter how big or small you think your anxiety is, I can safely say there is someone out there who has felt the EXACT same way as you. Like me for example, I understand your fear of feeling physically uncomfortable and scared. Just hear others stories and experiences. It begins to make you feel more at peace knowing you’re not alone in this. Thank you for sharing this and being vulnerable with us. Keep going 🤍🩷❤️🩹
this just made my cry, thank you for sharing your story with me! ❤ and this was such an encouraging message too so thank you!!!
@@BriannaWoodbine Of course girl, you’ve got this 🩷🩷
I’ve been a subscriber since day 1, your very first video and have never missed one yet. This video is probably my favorite one. I love how real, open, and honest you are. Rooting for you and Cory always! 💖 Hang in there girlie. “It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.”
Wow, thank you!
Glad you and Cory are doing better Brianna. Sending hugs and lots of healing vibes. You are in my thoughts and continued prayers. Anxiety is scary and it drains you. Rest is the best, taking deep breathes too. You had me in tears. Because deal with it too. Wish you rest & continued strength sweetheart. BIG hugs. 🤎🤎🤎
thank you so much!
love you so so much ❤ you got this and when you don't, I've got you always ❤❤❤
love you way more girly ❤
I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that:( I struggle with anxiety a lot and when you said you can’t wait to sleep to be able to be peaceful and not have that anxiety I really related to that. I hope you are feeling better and know your followers love you and everything you do❤ take the time you need and know we always have your back❤
I truly wished for sleep every single night, however now I don't so i'm glad to have the light at the end of the tunnel, and thank you! ❤
You are not alone! I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this. Praying for you in this season, to experience peace where anxiety has been 🫶🏼
thank you so much ! ❤
We all love you and are here for you! Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do! We love you and I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers ❤❤❤
thank you so so much ❤❤
Welcome back! I’m so sorry for the struggles you have had. I hope you are doing better. Love you! ❤
thank you so much!!
I’ve just recently discovered your channel through your Disney vlogs and love your content ❤ so sorry to hear you’ve had a tough time but thank you for being so open and honest! My husband went through a very similar thing with a sudden onset of anxiety and panic attacks, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has helped him massively…just something to think about if you haven’t already!
thank you so much!
I’m finishing your video tonight when I get home but just wanted to comment that I am SO happy to see your video pop up on my screen. I was worried if you and Cory were ok from the last few videos you posted. Sending so much internet love, confetti, and cookies y’all’s way!! 🎉❤
Ok I finished your video and OMG I wish I could give you a hug through the screen. Thank you for being so vulnerable and I feel your pain through the screen. My sister suffers from debilitating anxiety and will go weeks off the grid as her coping mechanism. Some days are good and some days aren’t but just give yourself grace and room to lean into the things that bring you joy. So much love for you and Cory!! ❤
thank you for such a sweet note ❤ it felt good to take a step back and prioritize myself and now i'm feeling much better!
I'm so sorry that you have been having a tough go this year and that you had to experience anxiety and the trauma of it all, it really is a bitch and I wish no one had to go through it. I hope everything is on the up for you guys and that you got some good Disney therapy last week! Sending you positive vibes and energy that get you through this! Happy to see you back on UA-cam and glad you took the time off you needed. You're not alone - sending love and peace!
such a bitch and no one should have to go through something like this, and thank you so much!! ❤
Hello! I just wanted to let you know to hang in there. I know you didn’t want too much medical advice but I want you to know you aren’t alone. I suffer from anxiety, and have for many years. It occasionally flares up… especially during times of stress. Therapy, meditation etc can certainly help but I found that also taking meds for anxiety can really help. As for health scares, anxiety often gets worse. I also have congenital heart disease so I totally understand how anxiety related to your heart can be super scary! Anxiety causes rapid heart rate and chest discomfort… so you question if it’s anxiety or something other than that. Do follow up with the cardiologist. It may nothing but it maybe something. Sounds like you have a good support system so you will be just fine!
thank you for reaching out & sharing such a sweet comment ❤
Brianna - I just want to reach out and give you the biggest hug. Anxiety is such a bitch and SO debilitating. You are definitely not alone. Thank you for opening up about your experience. That is a LOT to have go on all within a few weeks of each other so of course you're body is going to react. There are times when your body just says enough is enough. Try to remind yourself that these feelings are temporary and will pass. You are doing the best you can in this moment and that is enough. I'm so glad you're back but take all the time you need ❤
such A BITCH right!? and my body said enough is enough and needed a break and it was so needed to take a step back and our trip gave us the time we needed to refresh and reset for our mental health! ❤ thank you for such a sweet note!
I’m glad you’re feeling better!!! Your hair looks great btw!
It’s so long too!
feeling better ad yes my hair is getting really long!! ❤
@@mercedes4302 it need a trim soon!
you are not alone!! I feel so much for what you are going through, I have been there myself, right down to the fear of vomit. Give yourself grace, get the help you need, therapy is a great idea!❤
thank you! it was a hard time but i'm feeling really great now ❤
@@BriannaWoodbine sometimes it's really nice to know you're not alone!!
I am crying with you 🥲 I feel for you girly ! I too suffer from anxiety so I know exactly where you are coming from. Take all the time that you need to feel better ❤ happy to see you again .
thank you & sending you lots of love ❤
Brianna just know I am sending so much love and positivity your way. As someone who has struggled with high functioning anxiety my whole life 90% of the time I can function 100% normal but when life kicks me while I'm down forget it, I'm down for the count! Just know this might not be your forever but to take extra care during stressful times! It sounds like you've got a great a plan ahead! I will look forward to your videos as you post them! Just turned notifications on so I don't miss any! ❤
thank you ❤ we've been really taking the time to take extra care of ourselves!
As someone who also deals with pretty bad anxiety and emetophobia I so feel you and therapy has been sososo helpful to managing my everyday life!! I’m so glad you’re back and I hope the rest of this year is on the up for you guys🫶🏻🫶🏻
sending you love too! and thank you ❤
Aww are you from RI? I’m a Rhode Islander and just stumbled upon your channel yesterday and binged your newest Disney vlogs, loved them! Heard you mention little Rhody and wanted to say hey and hope you’re feeling better overall😊
my fiance is from Rhode Island!! and so glad that you found my channel, welcome 🌺
@@BriannaWoodbine oh too funny!😄Thanks and can’t wait to see more from you two!
Brianna, as someone who struggles daily with social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorders, I am here with you. I feel you and I see you. These disorders can swallow you whole and change how you live your day to day life. It is so crazy hearing you share the difficulties that you and Corey faced because around the same time, the same exact thing happened to me and my fiance. She had some bad news in regards to her job that sent me on a spiral for three weeks, I could not focus, I could not go to class, I felt so emotionally drained and I felt incredibly alone because what happened with her job was not her fault. I felt guilty to even put the stress of my emotions on her while she was going through her own battles. I can 100% relate to what you are currently going through and you are not alone. 🤍
I see you ❤ thank you for sharing with me and for such a sweet comment. sending you and your fiance all the love
@@BriannaWoodbine 🤍
I know exactly what you’re going through to a tee. You are not alone ♥️
thank you!! 🥰
You poor thing! I feel so bad for you. I have dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life. It’s so hard to deal with. just remember to always communicate with each other. I hope you both get to feeling better soon. Maybe ask your about a script for Zofran. I have bad stomach issues too and it’s been a wonder drug for me.
yes, communication has been key these few weeks and it's been so important ❤
Ahhhh, I was worried about you! Glad to see you back, and look forward to watching this. Seeing the other comments, I’m glad you took care of your mental health ❤️
thank you! ❤ i'm glad I took time away because it was so needed
I'm so glad to see you back and that you're feeling better. I'm so sorry it's been so rough for you this past month. I'm proud of you for getting through all of this. I'm hopeful that having such a tough start to the year means everything else going forward will be easier. I'm glad you and Cory were able to take a trip to Disney and relax. Thank you for being so vulnerable. Can't wait to watch your Disney vlogs. Take it easy, girl!
it's been a tough month for sure, and thank you for such a sweet note ❤ the disney vlogs are coming soon!
I missed you on UA-cam, but your physical and mental health should always be the priority! So glad you were still able to go on your Disney trip and that you & Cory are doing better :)
missed being on youtube so much! and we took time to get better and we are refreshed after vacation! ❤
missed you lots, but so glad you’re taking care of yourself first! ❤️
I needed time away however I feel much better now!
I knew I was suppose to watch this today 💕 I’ve been going through a few of the same things over here so THANK U for openly sharing your struggles and how you coped. You are most definitely NOT alone in how you’re dealing! Looking forward to all that is to come 💕 -your little sis Emily
thank you for sharing! sending you love ❤
Thank you for sharing ❤ this is so real! Hope it gets better ✨
it's gotten better for sure!
That’s great! One step at a time and there’s no rush. Whether it’s 3 videos or just 1 we’ll be here 🫶🏼
I had the same issue- high HR… all Dr pointed to anxiety… went to ER (they checked for blood clot, low blood levels- anemia, everything). All was negative. Ended up having something called POTs - often misdiagnosed as anxiety. I now have a cardiac device placed in. If this goes on… please get checked out further ❤
it's since passed so I'm really fortunate that everything checked out okay!
Thank you for sharing I hope you start feeling better my daughter has a little anxiety I love all your your videos and I learned a lot from you and packing and 50 more days I'll be heading to Disney 62 years old almost 63 I'll be looking forward to seeing your newest videos take care of yourself just do what you can do don't overdo it hope you feel better soon I will be praying for you
thank you!!
❤sending love and support. As always, thank you for your raw honesty.
thank you! ❤
Oh my goodness the SAME exact situation happened to me when I was on that pill. The anxiety came out of no where. It was awful and I felt like no one understood. My Dr. ended up changing my pill to a different one because of the hormones. After I switched the anxiety went away and I don’t have periods anymore! I’m so sorry you had to go through this❤
thank you for a sweet note! ❤ and glad to be on the up and up!
I love you so so so so much❤
i love you most ❤
Oh girl! I had somewhat of this same experience back when I was 14 and have been coping ever since. As a fellow type A, list making, planner extraordinaire; those small things pile up and can come crashing down when we don't make space for them. 100% agree your body was telling you to slow down and let me tell you, the body knows what it needs and wants, not the brain. The brain is super powerful and can sometimes make you feel 30x worse than it really is. I found it helpful for me if I'm feeling anxious/nauseous to ask myself if this is my body needing something or my brain. I took that deep breath with you Brianna and I'm so happy to see you back and feeling a little better! 🤍
they 100% came crashing down, you're so so right and i'm feeling so so mcuh better now ❤ and the trip was exactly what we needed!
Awww girl, I cried with you!! I suffer from anxiety as well and it’s definitely tough but know that you have so many people here for you. The birth control pill I’m on is vienva and it’s been really great for me with regular cycles as well as hormonally. I’m also definitely someone that can’t deal with any throw up of any kind. I always tell my family that if they puke in my car, I will crash 😂 I’m here for you and hope it gets to be a better year soon!! 💕
i'd also tell my family something like that because I hate throw up!!! and thank you for such a sweet note and sending you love too ❤
@@BriannaWoodbine I’m such a big fan and definitely can’t wait for your Disney series!! Disney is my favorite place to go! Sending lots of love!! ❤️
❤❤@@kyleepinkham7871
Wishing you well and continued progress toward feeling 100%! Looking forward to your next video!

thank you ❤
Missed ya!! 💜💜💜
☺
I wanted to send me love..i hope you continue to recover..have you checked your tyroid because i had similar symptoms and it was my thyroid?
thanks for sending love, and I have not checked that however they attributed it to stress / anxiety!
I haven’t finished the video but I just want to send you so much love and peace. I suffer from anxiety and I have gone through all of it, the not sleeping, the guilt, the not eating and the ER visits. All I can say is that it gets better, life can suck at times and anxiety makes it worse but it will get better and you will overcome❤
This 10000000%
