    I developed really bad anxiety after my mom passed away. I resigned from my job, I stayed inside my home and wouldn’t go outside and it got worse and worse. When I went outside I couldn’t breathe, my stomach would get tight, I feel like I want to vomit and my boyfriend at the time gosh he prayed for me so much and he was patient. I married him🥰🥰. Time, patience, love, understanding got me through. I still have some anxiety but not as bad I try to get out as much as I can.

    Thank you for speaking about this 🥺. Anxiety is something I’ve suffered with since I was a child (generalised anxiety/ fear and social anxiety) and it’s great hearing an influencer like you who is ‘normal’ talking about it, because often I feel like such an outcast going through this issue.

    I don’t agree with Better Help at all. Do your homework on the therapist because I personally know several people who got terrible treatment from therapist on Better Help. Even she said she changed therapist several times. That’s a problem.

    Great video Patricia! Going through the same thing - often time there are outside pressures that make it worse (family, work etc.). I would add having a healthy support system helps big time. Spent the second half of 2023 learning how to dial it back and enjoy life even though things are not perfect. Your my fave content creator because aside from being funny and fashionable you know how to keep it real!

    Thank you Patricia for touching on this topic. I recently shared in my stories that I was feeling anxious as a creator.
    It was as if you were describing my life, from constant hustle to eventual breakdown. I’m now chasing enjoyment too. You explained this so well because like you, I never thought much of anxiety when I heard of it (I reject labels as much as I can). But as I listened to the analogy you used, it made me realize that I spent all day everyday playing back some traumatic events that happened to me and now I understand the almost crippling anxiety I’m facing as a result. It definitely compounds and I never understood it that way so thanks again. Let me open my affirmations app..

    Not to shade Pat in anyway cos she’s way more candid that other influencers. If this video didn’t have any related sponsorships , would have been more realistic and relatable. Just think it’s a bit counter intuitive to make money off things like this .

    My anxiety this year has manifested as insomnia (more than ever as I usually struggle with restful sleep generally). The peak has been severe stomach issues and nausea. It wasn't until several weeks later, that I realised it was a physical response to stress. At the time, I just put it down to IBS.

    • @taliajournee212

    Anxiety feels like jumping out of a plane skydiving...but you can't find the pull chord. I've had anxiety for years. What helps a lot is mindfulness, I'll use books like 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, and the Power of Now by Tolle. Those help me, along with journaling and exercising a lot.

    I’ve literally never really suffered with anxiety before but until I’ve had 2 kids pretty close together I have really been struggling mentally! For me anxiety is a sickness feeling in the middle of my chest that just won’t go away, it’s made me throw up a few times. I’ve got it now and get it whenever I have a big ish life change or a change in my daily routine like moving house for example. And mine is all sleep related aswell so it gives me insomnia, I can’t fall asleep it takes me hours and hours because of the anxiety in my chest! I have done hypnosis for it which really helped but it still comes back every few weeks. I’ve just accepted it is a part of my life and I have definitely learnt tips to combat it but it’s not gone forever😢 right now I’m moving home and I think its mum burnout aswell that triggers it.

    It’s so amazing how the ppl who watch you the closest are among the ones who envy you the most and they come up with ways of expressing their envy by questioning your motivation or how genuine your medical condition is.
    Judge mental ppl are so full of themselves. Go earn your own living as you see fit and allow everyone else to breath.

      The sponsors on UA-cam pay the bills so that you can continue to enjoy the contents made by content creators for FREE. If you don’t pay anything and there were no sponsors, it wouldn’t make financial sense for anyone to commit the amount of time and effort to make these videos that you enjoy for free.👍

    • @suzychocolate7
      @suzychocolate7 Рік тому +15

      They make videos for the sponsorship not the other way round. Making whatever content just to get the paycheck. Many "influences" don't even suffer from mental illnesses, they just use it as a content for their videos and sponsorships of course.

    Sometimes caffeine is the culprit. If you’re suffering from anxiety, panic or similar symptoms consider cutting caffeine out of your diet. Coffee makes us feel like we can do it all but for some of us it exaggerates and sometimes even creates mental illness.
