- We've been having a bit of a hard time lately.
Come sit down with us as we go over where we've been for the last month, how we feel about full-time travel, being a UA-camr the future of our channel and our own mental health and what we are doing to get some much needed balance in life.

Hi Rhett and Claire, my name is Darko and i hope you will read this comment.
I am 42yrs old from Netherlands and i have had exactly what you are having, i tend to write a lot so bear with me. Hope this will help you out to recover quickly.
Like you, i travelled the world for many months on end for many years (asia also), endless adventures, trips etc. I also do at same time serious fitness (intense physical exercise 5-7x a week, coupled with cardio sessions and intens diet regime.) plus i work full time as a sales manager with good deal of responsibility. Also have a very active social life. high achiever mentality to the core.
All these things are positive in and of itself BUT they are each a STRESS on the body. a new bed, not your pillow, weird noises, strange food, no family around, temperature, walking, making videos, editing, money issues etc etc etc. each is a STRESSOR on the body. So yes in core you need and already have to change your lifestyle: sleep, naps, rest, limited work, light walking, diet consisting of HIGH protein and steady nutrient intake etc.
But key point here is that i want to explain HOW and WHY this happens in the body: So our bodies deal with stress by 1 single organ: the adrenal glands (so its 2 of them, 1 on top of each kidney). Adrenal glands with each stressor release cortisol as well as DHEA and Pregnenolone to balance this cortisol out. With short term stressors this works perfectly, however with chronic nonstop ongoing stressors this balance shifts in favor of cortisol and DHEA and Pregnenolone (and as consequence the sex hormones) fall off.
This gives the following devastating symptoms:
epic brainfog, like brain in honey with delay and cant focus on anything (even visual impairness). this is utterly disastrous
anxiet
panic attacks
tired but cannot sleep well
very low motivation
agrivated about small things
feeling of DOOM and overwhelming from literally the smallest things
depression (even clinical depression)
Now what i recommend is the following: go to a clinic, get blood drawn and test for DHEA -S (sulfate). This will show your bodies depot of DHEA. I bet you have mid to low range on this test. Optimal numbers are towards the top 15% of the reference range, and for active indiiduals like you even higher.
No doctor or anybody else will tell you cause most have no clue. They check you and all is fine and you feel like a lunatic.
What helped me a lot is the following (aside from obvious lifestyle changes which u already implemented)
DHEA suplement: 100mg per day (for female less, check every 6 weeks bloodwork) take on empty stomach in am
Pregnenolone: 50-100mg per day (half am half pm)
Adrenal Cortex: 50mg per day take on empty stomach in am
Licorice Root: 250mg per day take on empty stomach in am
Other supplements with high value for this;
vit d3: 6000iu per day
Omega 3 fats: 3-4gr per day
Vitaminc C: 5gr per day
Vit B complex: 2 tabs of high dosages
NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine): 2gr per day half am and half pm
Zinc: 25mg per day
Magnesium Bisglycenate: 400-600mg per day
As far as gym: take it EASY and 2x per week max and not to failure training. light walks every day 20-30min are optimal. yoga and massages are optimal.
Lots of sleep on circadian times, no drinking etc. goes without saying.
Your adrenal glands have been punished and squeezed till their very limits by the lifestyle and lack of rest and support. go-go-go attitude. Luckily adrenal glands do NOT permanently burn out (this is called addisons disease) and they come back in time and rest. Supplements and lifestyle speed this recovery up SIGNIFICANTLY.
Anyway this is my longest post ever on a youtube video, because i know exactly how you feel. EXACTLY to a T.
cheers and be well, you are both great
Darko
Darko dude. We cannot thank you enough for this comment! It may be your longest post ever on UA-cam, but its definitely the most thorough helpful comment we've ever received. You're the BEST, really. We're going to get those bloods checked, thank you so much for recommending those. We're home in South Africa in a week and we're going to do a big shop for all those supps you mentioned. Literally going to share your comment and socials with everyone we know that's suffering the same. Thank you thank you thank you!😭❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing this! It is timely and needed.
Hey guys! Really sorry to hear you've been feeling burnt out lately. That is totally common. I know for us, we really find our center and stability through following the teachings of Jesus Christ, who, Himself was a nomad and thus can relate to our nomadic lifestyle for the past 3 years. Quickly in our first year of travel we shifted from fast paced travel to staying in places for a month or more at a time. That allowed us to have our routine and stability while still traveling and working. We are happy to hear you are not giving up because we see how talented you are and we miss your videos. Love you brus!
We just discovered your channel and so glad we did. This was an excellent video and it reinforced what we do in our own lives and makes us feel better. We travel the world as well but are an older couple. There are times where we wish we could go at your pace, because life is just so short and we want to see everything. But we kept our house as our home base and we instead travel 2 months on and 2 months off. That’s been a great balance for us. Maybe something like that can work for you. Good luck!
This is the best balance i guess:) Very smart ❤
Just wanted to acknowledge the mental health struggles the two of you have been through
Thank you, Katie, we appreciate the support and can say we are doing a lot better this year❤️
This was perfectly explained and we totally relate. We experienced burnout earlier this year as we are also travelling full-time, working on our UA-cam, blog, freelancing etc and I think we're still recovering to be honest without giving ourselves a real break. We're also going to be spending 6 months in Bali (also our second home as we've spent a lot of time here) so it would be lovely to meet up with other creators. Hope you guys are doing okay!
What beautiful people you are. Your videos are inspiring. Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏
We have been following you guys for a few months now. You inspired and helped us to plan our stay in Bali. We also have a UA-cam channel. Our South East Asia journey just started and your experiences will be very helpful. So, thank you for sharing your life with us and we hope you feel energized and happy soon! 😊
Crazy how relevant and well-timed this video is for us! The brain fog element to burnout isn't spoken about enough. It's like you want to keep working but your brain just decides it's not going to! We can super relate!
YUS FAM, my heart is with you! Very few people will ever know what goes into making these videos and you guys have done such an amazing job but you gotta listen to your bodies and I know that you'll get your fire back. Hope to see you soon!!!
GELUK with the 200K!!!
Very glad to hear you both are refreshed and re-alligned. Always take care of your health and make sure you have time to enjoy quiet time together.
So nice to have a sit down video with you. People don't realise all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes of your brilliant videos. Totally resonate with what you said about alway making decisions- the decisions you make also have higher stakes, if you need to see a doctor or dentist or need to sort something out with the bank it's so much harder. Sending love to you both always, your positive attitude is infectious ❤
Omg thank you Natt❤️. You're so right! Being an expat isn't either. Sending you love and light!
I do know the hard work that entailed in being a blogger and that’s the reason why I didn’t go into it. I don’t think I can enjoy the trips if I am constantly thinking about what need to go into the videos. I’m a solo traveler too and I’d rather enjoy the scenery and food and culture than thinking about filming and editing and uploading videos. Take care you two and rest for a while before you start traveling again.
😭 We can relate to this SO much, as I'm sure most travel youtubers can. It's hard to work on your mental health when there's no stability in your life and your job is so openly judged by external things like comments/views/etc. Hopefully Bali helps for now and the plans for an apartment work out well! Even just not needing to worry about visas must be so relieving!
Well done you both for recognising the need to create your home base and just chill. Don't worry Rhett, your distress about feeling disappointed in yourself - it's just that you're not meeting the image you have of yourself in your mind and the image of you that you've placed in the minds of others. Don't worry, it will all be fine. Just accept yourself as you are now and you know that everything changes as you will too. Go with the flow. And thanks for your great videos. Keep safe.
Completely understandable. Love your work and look forward to what you put out in the future.
I’m sorry to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you’ll find your balance. I’ll keep following you in your perfect pace anyway 😊
Love your honesty guys, it's so important to talk about your mental health. As for vlogging we'll watch anything and everything posted by the most genuine and cutest couple out there! 😊
Hey guys!! This is our first time seeing you on UA-cam (haven't even seen your travel videos!) and we've already decided you two are super cool & want to see more! Sorry to hear you are experiencing burn out! We are just in the beginning steps of our UA-cam career and this has reminded us to pace ourselves and to keep as much of a daily routine as we can, even while on the road. Completely agree that daily workouts are what give you life and energy and as soon as we don't get them, we definitely feel sluggish (even if we are walking 20,000 steps a day and carrying a suitcase). Anyway, so nice to meet you guys! Enjoy your break! x
Brus, I'm glad you are back! I love your content and you both, I enjoy watching travel vids to chill out!
Thank you for being here bru!🥹❤️
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable. As someone who is just starting my Study and Travel Journey, I really appreciate the transparency and truth. BRU - Greetings from South Africa! ❤
Thank you for the kind words bru, and thank you for being here❤️. All the best for your journey! We're always here🙏🏻
Thanks for put it out!. Great advice for creators 🙌🙏
I was wondering about you guys! Right on about the mental and physical health coming first!!
Thanks for sharing!
To be honest this video has made me connect with you two in a way I didn’t expect! The reason is you being truly yourselves, so real and genuine in what you are talking about. You have gone from just another subscribed travel channel on my list to my favourite UA-cam travel communicators. Keep up the good work 🙏❤️✊
Omg, this comment is everything!🥹. Thank you for being here bru🙏🏻❤️
I can relate. What a beautiful and honest and vulnerable video. Thank you for sharing your struggles and being real. I think almost everyone can relate.
thanks for your honesty
Sending you both all the light and strength Bru xx
Hey guys glad you are recognizing what you need and its time to slow down. I work a 9-5 job and consistency and stablity is crucial for my well being.
On a side note I'm glad youre back in Bali. Your travel pack helped us tremendously when we went to there. Wish you guys all the best of luck and love the updates. You should make more of them. My wife and i think you guys are like our friends lol if you come to Toronto Canada let us know!
As a fellow UA-camr, I can totally relate to this. ❤ So thank you for sharing your story so openly. I’ve been feeling the exact same way. I’m moving to Bali alone in 2 weeks hoping I can have a more balanced life. I’m currently in London and it’s been quite hard to keep “sane”. 😂 Big love to you both and I hope you get better soon! ❤
I admire anyone who can keep sane making YT videos. It is a full time job.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie It’s very demanding. I personally never worked so hard in my life. 😅
@@LauraBC I believe you.
@@LauraBCthis is it. It’s nit an easy job……
Thank you for sharing this and being open. You are an inspiration. My wife & I ❤ you!
🥹❤️ thank you for saying that! It means the world
Love the honesty oaks. Get well bru
Thanks for your honesty guys 🙏🏽
can’t wait to witness the growth firsthand (:
This was such a reality check and sobering reminder that we are only human. I've never watched video like this, travel UA-camrs rarely or never talk about this. Thank you for being so real and sharing what goes on behind the cameras. Thank you, stay strong and take care
Thanks for sharing and being so open and vulnerable. We’ve experienced this as well and for me (Jenn) I got hit hard by this during our India trip (after 3 months of fast travel and full time travel) we cut the trip in half and returned to Thailand for 30 days down time and to rethink everything. After a few weeks rest we have a plan. BUT when that wall hits it hits hard. We are planning a trip home to Canada with all of these same concerns and feelings about full time long travel, slow travel, fast travel, short trip travel. We’re really happy you are both feeling more fresh and following what feels right for you!
BRU! Thank you for your honesty and sharing your struggles the last months. I can totally relate to this. I'm a freelancer since 13 years now, in my 20s many times i ignored my mental health in terms of not get enough rest. Thanks for the reminder again that we are all humans with limited capacity. Mental health should always comes first. Great to hear that the last months are not stopping you continuing this chapter. :)
Thank you for being here Kevin bru!🙏🏻. We are all humans indeed, and we're trying our best!❤️
Really happy that you both realized it sooner than later and made the decision to slow down the pace. Your health is absolutely the most important thing!
❤ loving your vibe and vids - new subscriber
Sorry to hear. Such an open and honest speech. Thanks from Thailand ❤
Aw just found you guys! We can totally relate! Just finished our first year of full time travel, and definitely understand!! Thanks for sharing. Be happy, be healthy! Cheers ❤ We just started a channel to record our memories and it is ALOT! It's ok to take a break
Hey BRUs we love you guys, take care of yourselves! You have inspired us to continue exploring and creating 💙
Just came across your channel while checking out digital nomad living in Bali. Busy growing my UA-cam channels and hoping soon to start traveling to Bali. PS! I am from South Africa as well and live out in Roodepoort Gauteng. Hoping to do UA-cam full time sometime in 2024
BRU! I just came back from CapeTown because of you guys! And early this year I went to Bali because of you guys as well! Don’t worry about the burnout, nobody can climb a smooth mountain, you guys will come out stronger & better 🔥
Yo, this comment made our day. Thank you for being here🥹🙏🏻❤️
Hey guys, I’m a frequent traveler too. Just came back from Machu Pichu and the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. Traveled for six weeks in these two countries. I’m home now in Tucson, and it hasn’t been two weeks home, and now I’ve booked myself to go home to the Phil and thinking about going to India and have been watching your videos. You need to take a break even when you’re traveling. I always take a day or two off days and stay in my hotel and rest. It’s very common to experience exhaustion and burn out when traveling. So take it easy and regroup. Traveling is addicting. I’ve been traveling all of my life. There comes a point when you need to have a home base and travel maybe every three months, which what I’ve done. You need a home , a permanent home, I agree. Good luck.
I can relate. Well done making healthy decisions for yourselves and talking about this online. Love your Cape Town videos - so helpful and honest and amazing as I plan a trip back to my childhood home after 25 years away :)
Thank you for the support. Hope you have a fantastic trip back home 😃
Love u guys much love sent to u both slow down heal and make sure u do what u love 😘😘
sorry you guys have been feeling like this🥺 I felt the end of 2023 burnout too, but I'm feeling 2024 is going to be a goodie💕 Take the time you need to feel better and don't feel bad about it💘
you got this brus
Cannot wait to see the Vietnam guide! Looking forward to it keep it up guys!
Take it easy guys. You need balance in all things in life. Much love and support from Denmark 🙏
TRU BRU for life! Thanks so much for sharing guys and will always support you and make sure you maintain that life/work balance. 👍🏻💪🏻
Tru bruuuuu! Thank you for your support🥹🙏🏻
Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency!! Love you guys so much!! ❤ True Bru’s!!🤣❤️
Great Videos Bru! Keep it up and remember to take your rest! Peace! 😎🤟
Hi guys, i'm from Brazil and i'm going to visit South Africa in may 2024. I know whats you're felling, but i'm hopping it'll pass anytime soon! I found you guys when I was looking for a Safari near Cape Town and then I find myself wacthing many others things that you were posting... you guys are absolutely amazing! Please continue doing what you're doing! You help me a lot!
Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏼❤️
BRU! thanks for sharing your interesting story.. ❤❤
Thank you for being here bru❤️
So happy to hear you both are honoring your energy levels and prioritizing your health! Would be super interested in a video outlining streams of income/finances 😍
Please make sure to take the time to relax and rejuvenate! We can relate to your thoughts and feelings as full-time travellers and content creators. There are times when we don't publish a new video for a few weeks or more. Sometimes, you just need to take a break and enjoy life without the camera. We are different from you, in that we do slow travel. Even though we try to stay in one place for at least a month, it's still not our home. We certainly miss not being able to see our family and friends all the time too, which can make us feel quite lonely at times. Anyway, we hope you will take the time to enjoy being in Bali and try to figure out your future plans. Tom and Mike :)
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your openness in sharing your experiences with anxiety and brain fog. ❤ It truly touches my heart, as I've been through a similar ordeal over a year ago, much like Rhett. I remember thinking I was having a heart attack, rushing to the hospital, only to discover it was a crippling panic attack.
The past year has been a rollercoaster, filled with days of brain fog, relentless dizziness, an inability to concentrate on even the simplest tasks, and the frustrating struggle to articulate my thoughts. While I've tried to maintain a balanced life, eating healthily and working out, I've come to understand that the constant barrage of information from endless hours on social media and staring at screens for most of the day plays a significant role in our mental well-being. Our modern society bombards our minds with stimuli that can become overwhelmingly chaotic, especially when coupled with the countless triggers we encounter during our travels.
It's essential to take a step back and give ourselves the headspace we so desperately need, but I implore you, please don't ever stop pursuing what you love. You are all truly incredible, and your journey is an inspiration to us all. 💪❤
Ah dude🥹. We’re sorry you’ve been having a hard time this year as well! I 1000% agree with the part about social media and too many stimuli coming from it, we totally forgot to talk about that in the video as well!
We feel like because of short form content and the speed at which we scroll now, our brains are just completely overloaded now and can’t handle it. Time to start only consuming long form content!🙏🏻.
Look after yourself. Thank you for being here. We’ll all get better soon🙏🏻❤️
Omg y’all love Tayo too he amazing 🎉❤❤
Bless you both
I've just started watching your video's of India as we are off there for a month next week travelling Shimla to Kerala We were .ast in India 26 yes ago so expecting some changes
Thanks for all your hard work and take care and relax in Balli ❤
Great video I started watching your videos mainly because you came from the most stunning city in the world I met my wife in Cape Town and have very fond memories of not only the mother city but SA as a whole.Good luck
Sorry to hear. Take your time to recover. I suffered from burnout after working all day trying to make a living for myself online. It's stressful, and I can imagine the uncertainty and insecurity of losing a job and traveling simultaneously.
I suffered a lot from fatigue, so I couldn't workout the same way I used to. I could do low-intensity strength training for 15-20 minutes or so before I felt too dizzy and foggy in my head, but I mostly had to focus on golfing and talking walks. I had to try to listen to my mind and body and not push myself like I was used to doing, but it sure was frustrating and I wasn't the best at giving myself what I needed... Took me a year to recover. I think Ashwagandha helped a bit, and NSDR/Yogra Nidra/Meditation is probably even better.
You'll be back soon, just make sure you don't push yourself too hard because that will just set you back and prolong the issue (speaking from my own experience). Quite a humbling experience and one that requires vulnerability, but you're obviously well on your way! Take care. 💞
BRU!!! I'm still doing it Part Time & hope to go Full Time to become my OWN BOSS!!! Hope to have the success as both of you...
I would love to see your income streams.
Welldone peeps. From Pretoria you guys have helped me a lot so I really appreciate it.
Making my honeymoon clear and easy to do
I started traveling 12 years ago when I was in my early 20 and till this day I regret to not start a UA-cam channel. I know that traveling can be both exciting, fun, but also exhausting if not taking rest and recharge. You guys are doing great❤ btw what is BRU comment?
"everyone craves a home"
well said guys! we can relate with you in so many ways. much love! ♥ -Houman & Rosie
Take a break guys and build a home in Capetown, a place of your own…where you can rest between your travels. You are lovely folks and hey am sure all will all right..and yeah catch up with your families if possible.
I Just started full time travel videos, and its alot of work, but Im sure it can be very fruitful. Thanks for sharing!
I am a new in this UA-cam journey, that is helpful to know.
Totally understand you guys, your body and mind need a break. Some people think travelling is just like taking a holiday, it is all fun stuff. For me, it is not, sometimes it is a challenge I decided to take on for myself. It needs lots work and preparation, facing stress on the road, stay strong mentally and physically. But I choose to do it as I want to see the world as much as I can before I die. I have a full time job, so I only travel abroad by taking annual leaves or extending my business trips. I've visited 12 countries in last 14 months, next trip will be 6 countries in 3 weeks, I need to prepare my body and mind for it, see how it goes. Thanks for sharing your experiences, best wishes for you two ! 🙂🙏
Very relatable. I am a business owner myself and nomading right now.
Routine is 100% important and I try not to go to new places too often, otherwise my gym/health/business/social life goes down dramatically.
I am going back and viewing your very first videos, made FIVE years ago.
I am very grateful that you are talking about this. Unfortunately, there is still far too little of this type of content on UA-cam. thank you for this pioneering work
Stay Safe
Working 12hour shift does burning out so quickly
Oh yes, I’ve burned out plenty of times while doing content creation and running a business over the last 10 years. 😅
It’s good you guys are figuring out how to do it sustainably. It’s super important for long term mental health and sustainability.
Hey BRU’s, I love watching your videos. Mental health is 100 percent super important. At nearly 48 and soon to be divorced after 24 years of marriage, I am at the opposite end to you guys. My travel journey is about to begin with my first solo trip in January 2024!! Anyway I would love to hear more about how you guys make a living out of you tubing. Hi from Australia 😊
We've been watching your excellent videos from the start. Burn out is completely normal in so many professions.
Content creation sounds like an easy gig but in reality it's like an iceberg with the videos everyone sees being the absolute tip, but underneath there's a massive section of work that people don't see. I also edit videos and end up fed up with the end result because I've heard the soundtrack 1000 times during editing or I spot that one tiny mistake I made during the editing and rendering took 3hrs so it's not worth re-exporting it! 😂 We'll be over in SA travelling the garden route again in Feb, one day we'll bump in to youz and the beers are on me! 🍻
We youtubers will in this situation...not easy
Hopefully you guys get 😊 better , feeling 😢the same now 😭
Wonderful work! I stumbled onto your videos while prepping for an upcoming trip to Turkiye, and one thing led to another... :) Just watched this one and am SO appreciative of your honesty and candor. Thanks
p.s. I keep admiring the black cross-body sling bag Claire is often wearing. The size looks perfect, bigger than others I see online, but not too big. May I ask the brand/where you got it?
Thank you for watching. Sorry we didn’t see this comment earlier. I think the bag brand is called Lonsdale. You are right the size is perfect😃
We are ALL humans and we pray that you guys will bounce back soon. Stay strong guys, hope you will visit Korea/ Japan and share your experience with us. Love & respect from Bangladesh
Loved the rawness, honesty and the awareness you guys brought to this. ❤
I feel people often think as digital nomads we all just sit on the beach, work 2 hours and live on trust funds... would have been nice though.😅😜 When in reality we still deal with all the normal things life throws at one; and on top of that actually spend more hours working to make this dream life "work" (whether that job is a full time content creators and self employed, like you guys which is even more work and stresful, or full time employed by a company).
And most of our "free time" as digital nomads go into travel planning to find options that fit the budget which makes your point of decision fatigue so true.
But as you guys mentioned which resonates so well is that we are also so privileged to live these wonderful free lifes where we can rather choose decision fatigue and living an epic life over having no options or freedom of choice (even though it is so nice to sometimes just have a "normal life" for a month or two when taking breaks from travel 🤣).
All about the balance and doing whats right for you in the moment🤗
Love this comment😂❤️. I often wonder if life would just be so much easier if we were those trust fund babies! The travel planning, especially on a budget like you mentioned, is the most time consuming part of this lifestyle and I feel like it would be soooo much easier if we didn't have budgets at all😂. So glad you found the video relatable though, keep doing what you're doing and practice gratitude everyday for this life!
@@RhettandClaire Hahahaha me too!! When you get those texts about your uncle twice removed in a far away land that left you money I sometimes think danm that would have been nice!
That being said I think not being trust find babies made us more creative as kinder people 😉
We've been full time travellers for nearly 10 years now. We run our (non travel related) business online and we quickly learned that constant travel and work is impossible. So we tend to do 3/4 months of moving around travelling and then at least 1 or 2 months in one spot to rest and reset. Burnout is very real.
You should definitely try van life !!!!!
if you want to know about south africa, these are the best guys
I feel sorry for you guys, I don't realize that a full time journey as youtuber is a hard job/profession to live for. Hope you can heal yourself soon and just enjoys everyday life in Bali.
BRU 💜🤙🏼
“BRU”!
I'm a new subscriber. Honestly, I just fell in love with you both. Thanks for the vulnerability. PS: Setting up My mindseat account thanks it was a big worry for me. Please visit my home country soon 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
This is a serious discussion and is very useful but background music is a bit of distraction.
YA BRU
Hey guys! Sorry you’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed… You have mentioned “balanced” a lot and your channel is travel/fitness have you considered something yoga related? Just to bring balance between how you feel physically with how you feel mentally. Everyone is different might not help you but it has definitely helped me in the past.
Good luck guys, I’m glad you’re still going to continue your channel😊
It’s time for you 2 to have some Babies!🤰🏼They help remind you of the simple although important things about full time travel .. like keeping balance, when to rest, when to play .. they certainly don’t let you forget about food.😁We are full time travellers with 3 kiddies & we’re very often always on the move & without them I could imagine allowing ourselves to get burnt out. Thanks for sharing guys love your work.❤️
Have you met or followed Murray Wilkinson in Bali. He does great charity work in Bali and I think you would benefit from this both emotionally and mentally. He is making a difference to the underprivileged in Bali.
Panic attacks and anxiety are survivable. I have suffered from both for 50 years. Learning the triggers, and desensitizing myself to them was helpful. Bio-feedback helps. Years of talk therapy to learn how to cope did not help. Sometimes meds are needed until you learn how to be comfortable in your skin during an episode. An attack always passes and you feel normal again. Talk openly about it with a trusted companion when you see it rising. Don't run away from it. Panic attacks do not kill you. You just feel really icky for about 45 minutes until the adrenal glands burn themselves out. Having a sense of humor regarding the attack is helpful. Give it a name so you can address it in the 3rd person when in a public setting. When they are severe in your life you can actually have a panic attack thinking about the possibility of having a future panic attack. Meditation training was the key to removing my anxiety of having future panic attacks and released me from the need for anti-anxiety meds 20 yrs ago. Panic attacks are mental and physical responses to perceived future fearful situations. It is the "flight" on hyperboost response in the fight or flight scenario. Try to not allow yourself to avoid the trigger scenario, the more you avoid the more you will avoid it in the future and more likely to panic when you think of the scenario .... some people become agoraphobic due to untreated panic attacks. Sounds like you both are working toward healthy solutions to this life-limiting phenomenon. Not all the solutions work for every person. You will find what works for you. LMAO when Rhett said 35 was getting too old....I am 70 and heading to India for a 4 month Buddhist pilgrimage. My children are older than you. Your lives are just beginning. :D
Gosh you're such an inspiration! Have the best time in India and thank you so much for the advice. My dad has also always suffered the same and his advice was very similar to yours as well. Go dads!😂❤️
It must have been really hard for you guys to get through with this mental situation. Although, don't regret your decision of being a digital nomad. Not everyone can live this life and not everyone can afford it. You lot have spent your best years at top destinations around the world that most people only dream of. I've watched your videos time to time even though I'm not a subscriber 🤣 Imagine how many souls are with you on your voyage that live through a screen from their homes. You guys make that happen for them so don't regret that. I've tried vlogging once and I know it's quite hard with everyone looking at you and noticing what kind of weird crap is he doing 😂 and if you have social anxiety then this feeling is a bonus lol. Why don't you guys try meditation through religion? It helps. Hope you guys find peace and serenity.
it`s crazy how many UA-camrs experience burnout - the standards this platform demands from creators are insane! I made similar discoveries and talked about the truth behind monetization in one of my recent videos. Honestly, if you don`t make YT your full-time job it`s almost impossible to get monetized but to actually be able to live from the platform you will easily drive yourself to burnout.
Danke, diese sichtweise ist sehr hilfreich. Ich werde mir dein video ansehen 😊❤
BRU. Hmmm. Yea. You are right. You are nit the first ones who have this experience. I am just traveling over one months in South Korea. And there is still an other months ahead. My base is in Colombia. This helps a lot. But…..what helps in my case is…that my living does not depend on an income via UA-cam. We do run the Hostal Capurgana. And in Capurgana there are no shopping Mals, cinemas, expensive restaurants. There is even no power for 24 hours. And as well: There are no cars…only little traffic….
So the money stays n our pocket until we decide to start again a 2 or three months tour.
Good luck for your new way………
Thats very smart 😮😮😮😮❤🎉
