We're keeping it raw and real, so if you've ever felt paralyzed by stress or just needed to vent, this is the place to be.
Things take a turn when I face a tough decision after a major anxiety attack, leading me to cancle my flight reservation. It's a day full of real emotions, struggles, and the tough choices we sometimes have to make for our health and well-being.

I live with several chronic illnesses and they affect my daily life. I am in constant pain and struggle with brain fog.

This is perfectly normal for all of us. Making the bed and washing the sheets is my worst. I can’t make a bed now because I can’t breathe. Being overwhelmed we can’t make decisions even with experience in what we need to do. I am so sorry you aremhaving this sort of day. No sleep, pain, irritability and crying is normal for us all. We can’t be positive all the time. It is good to know that you feel like me and are not positive all the time. I hope you manage your trip goes well. Pack small, we dont need outfits for every day we can wear the same outfit. 😊
Hey Amanda, thank you for sharing this. It really helps to hear from someone who understands the reality of what days like these can feel like. Making the bed and dealing with daily chores can sometimes seem like climbing mountains, can't they? And you're absolutely right about not always being able to stay positive. It's okay to have those moments of struggle and not be okay-it's part of our journey, and it makes us human.
I appreciate your tips on packing too! Keeping it simple is the way to go, and it’s a good reminder that it’s not about having a fresh outfit for every day but about making the trip as manageable as possible. Hope today treats you kindly. 😊
Stop! I fold and stack my underwear too. Lol nice
Ok (further along) .....😅😅😅 U are so funny but earlier I almost wanted to cry for you and just related to rolling around on the floor complaining. 😅 Love you
Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one with a neatly stacked underwear drawer! 😅 Seriously, it's moments like those that keep us sane amidst the chaos, right? I totally get the mix of laughter and tears, some days are just like that. Thank you for being so relatable and for making me smile. Love you too! 💛
I totally feel you! I have been having 'one of those days' for the past several days. THANK YOU for being real and raw. Given how much we have to deal with on a daily basis (health wise), I think it's perfectly OK to complain sometimes! ❤
Hey Jennifer, thanks for reaching out and sharing your own struggles, it really helps to know we’re not alone in this. Having ‘one of those days’ turn into several is so draining, and you're right, it’s absolutely okay to complain and be real about how tough things are. We all need that space to vent and not always have to put on a brave face.
I’m glad you appreciate the honesty here. It’s communities like this that remind us we’re supported and understood, no matter how rough the days get. Hang in there and keep sharing whenever you need to. We're all here for you, rooting for you, and ready to listen anytime. Sending lots of love and strength your way! ❤️
There are just some days that are like this and all you can do is stop and rest and get through it regardless of other people's deadlines and expectations. Of course I hope you are feeling better now.
Janet, thank you for your understanding and kind words. It's so true that some days you just have to hit pause, rest, and let the world move on without trying to meet every expectation. Your reminder to prioritize health and well-being over external pressures is really comforting.
I'm taking it day by day, and your hope for my recovery adds a little more strength to my steps. It's great having you here, supporting and sharing this journey with me. Let's keep reminding each other to take the rest we need and to look after ourselves. Hope you're doing well too!
Daniela I am so sorry you are going through this! And it is perfectly fine and necessary to vent and complain! My flares have gotten worse just in the last couple of days. My husband has a serious, chronic lung condition that is worsening and it has really been difficult seeing him struggle and me not being able to help him. I so understand your feelings and emotions! And when you say how hard it is to be alone and face our trials and pain, I know exactly what you mean! We will be married 42 years May 16th and my husband has been my rock and support and seeing him now struggling is so so hard for me. Yesterday I had one of those foul moods you were talking about and I was crying one minute and angry the next. Not at my husband, but at the situation. It is SO hard feeling helpless, Daniela. Thank you for being real and raw and no, you can't always be positive; that is impossible! I love how real you are because I so identify! Your little Kayla is so darling. I have a 12 yr old orange tabby and he throws up his hairballs a lot lately and now seems to get into more mischief than when he was a kitten! I am hoping you are feeling better now but the pain I know can be unbearable. My heart is with you and I am sending many hugs, well wishes and love to you! Hang in there! I look forward to your next vlog!🤗💝
Oh, I can’t tell you how much your message means to me, especially knowing that you’re facing such a difficult time yourself. It's truly heart-wrenching to hear about your husband’s condition and how tough it is to see someone you love so dearly struggle. Your strength and resilience in dealing with this, alongside managing your own flare-ups, are inspiring.
Thank you for understanding and validating the need to not always be positive. Our emotions are part of this journey, and it’s important to express them. Be it anger, sadness, or anything in between. It makes us real, it makes us human.
And oh, your tabby sounds like a character! Pets, with their antics and unconditional love, often bring us the laughter and comfort we need the most. I hope he continues to be a source of joy amidst the chaos.
Sending back lots of hugs, love, and strength your way. May you find moments of peace and relief, and may your husband feel them too. You’re not alone in this, and I'm here anytime you need to share or just vent. I’m looking forward to sharing more in the next vlog. Hang in there, and thank you again for being such a wonderful part of this community. 🤗💝
@@tt_looking_glass Thank you so very much, Daniela! You truly are a blessing! It is funny, I do not know you personally, yet I feel you are a very close friend to me! Closer than friends I have know for many years!🤗💕
It's amazing how connections can form even without meeting in person, isn't it? Your message shows the beauty of this community, and how support and kindness can make us feel close and connected, regardless of distance. Thank you for your comment 💕🤗
Man do I get it! We planned a trip to Greece with our adult children for Christmas in 2020. The trip was planned a year ahead. I was so excited to have a wonderful time with my family. Everything was booked and ready to go. Two days before the trip I let my family know I was not going to be able to do it. I knew from the pain I was in I would end up spending my whole time at the VRBO. Not to mention the long flights there and back, with small flights to an Island as well. I didn’t want to make anyone feel bad for leaving me behind when in Greece, so I decided to stay home instead. They all understood, but it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make…I wanted to go so bad.
I am so sorry you had to cancel your trip. I understand how heartbreaking that must have been. It’s so hard when our bodies don’t cooperate with our plans, especially for something as exciting as a trip to Greece with family. You did what you had to do for your health, but I can imagine how much it hurt to stay behind. Your family understanding must have been a relief, but it doesn’t take away the sting of missing out. I hope you get another opportunity to enjoy a trip like that in the future. Sending you a big virtual hug! 💕
Hello Daniela!
It is heartbreaking to see what you had to go through because I do have days like this with fibromyalgia, PMDD and PCOS altogether. I really feel your pain! I usually get overwhelmed and depressed and fatigued and take many breaks when going through it. I recently am getting more tests done to see if it’s a possibility of other conditions coming up and it made me very emotional this week. I know you’re not religious or spiritual, but what helped me is that I had to encourage myself a lot all of this is normal and all I can do is to continue to take care of my whole being including spiritually and physically and emotionally and give it my best shot. I really hope your trip in Brazil will be the best and that your visit to the rheumatologist will go very well and I do really hope you get the treatment you need!
Hello Sanaa, thank you so much for your heartfelt message and for sharing your own experiences with fibromyalgia, PMDD, and PCOS. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, especially with the added stress of undergoing more tests and dealing with all the emotions that come with it. I really admire your strength and your approach to taking care of yourself holistically-it’s inspiring.
Encouraging oneself is such an important part of navigating these challenges, and I'm glad you've found a way to support your spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. That’s a powerful reminder for all of us to maintain balance and do our best to care for every aspect of our lives.
Thank you for your good wishes for my trip to Brazil and the visit to the rheumatologist. It means a lot to have your support and to know you’re out there, understanding and sharing in these experiences. I’m sending you all my best for your tests and hope you find the answers and relief you need. Let’s keep supporting each other and sharing our journeys. It really does make a difference.
So very sorry for your nightmare vicious cycle. I live alone and at times it is scary especially as I now have adrenal insufficiency and need to inject myself with cortisone if I am crashing as it is fatal. I get too sick to inject but I do take extra cortisone. So far I have been lucky. 😊.
Amanda, it sounds like you're dealing with so much, and managing adrenal insufficiency on your own must be incredibly challenging I can only imagine how tough it must be to make the decision to inject during those intense moments. Once I had an anaphylaxis reaction and couldn't inject myself with the Epi-pen. My son had to do it.
You’re doing an amazing job staying on top of it, even when it's frightening to face it alone. I'm so glad to hear you’ve managed to keep things under control so far. This community and I are here with you, cheering you on every step of the way. Stay strong, and keep being the warrior that you are. 😊
Gotta pack with music 🎶
Also cleaning, showering, or cooking ❤
Absolutely!
I am soooo sorry you are going through this. ❤
Thank you so much, Terry. I appreciate you being here and your comment. ♥️
What you said at the end about those doing all of this on their own is GOLD. I can't even imagine going through all I went through and am going through on my own. Seriously, all of you doing this on your own are SO strong!
Also, I'm so sorry you had to cancel your flight, friend. You did your best, and that's ALL you can do! And btw, we are aloud to complain ❤! I'm loving this complaining thing, so I'll join in 😂. My GERD, esopagitis and gastritis have been SO bad the past 3 days, I'm now spitting up blood. My muscles have also been so tight, I'm having to take 2 extra muscle relaxers/day for the past 3 days, and I'm still having complications from my full hysterectomy in February. YAY! I feel better now! It felt GREAT getting that off my chest! Thank you for being real and complaining, Daniella! I'll listen anytime ❤. And I truly hope you can make it to Brazil. If not, it wasn't meant to be.
Amanda, first off, sending you so much love and strength. It sounds like you've been through an awful lot these past few days, and yet here you are, still sharing kindness and support with everyone. You’re incredible, and your strength is absolutely inspiring.
I’m right there with you on the complaining front. It really does feel good to let it all out sometimes, doesn’t it? We all need that space where we can be honest about our struggles without feeling like we have to keep up a brave face all the time. So, complain away, my friend! I’m here to listen anytime you need.
I'm sorry to hear about your recent health flare-ups. That sounds so tough, but I’m glad you felt a bit better after sharing here. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. We’ve got a whole community here who understands and supports you, every step of the way.
And about the flight, I did make the one the next day so I am currently in Brazil. Either way, I’m just grateful for friends like you who make the tough days a little brighter. Hang in there, and keep being the warrior you are! ❤️
@tt_looking_glass the SAME right back at you! Glad you're in Brazil! You are SUCH a sweet and compassionate person, and an inspiration for us all. You keep being the warrior you are too! Good luck and so much love ❤️
Awwww! Thank you. 😍
Acceptance. I hate to admit it, I swear alot not around people but, at home.
Aww danni sending you hugs and tearing up with you 😢❤️❤️❤️. Packing can be overwhelming even without chronic pain! I’m so sorry you had to cancel your flight, I hope you are able to make the trip and good luck! I think it’s ok to complain and feel the bad emotions for a bit because situations do suck, and sometimes you just gotta let it out. I had a really bad break down a few days ago over chronic pain/career future. Like you I’m just trying to take it one step at a time, and I at least signed up for classes. We’ll see if I’m able to see them through. Chronic pain can definitely mess with your emotions, I hope you feel better both physically and emotionally right now. Have you tried using a long roller parallel to you and do “snow angels,” this helps my upper back, but maybe you have lower back problems
Thank you so much for the hugs and understanding, it truly helps knowing I'm not alone in this, and that you're out there, experiencing similar challenges. I'm really sorry to hear about your breakdown. It's tough when chronic pain starts to cast a shadow over our future plans and dreams. But taking it one step at a time, like signing up for classes, is such a positive move and really shows your strength and determination.
I have no idea what doing "snow angels" with a roller is. Sounds interesting though and I'll try to look into it. Thanks for sharing that tip.
I hope you can find some relief and make it through your classes. It's okay to adjust your pace and take the time you need. Let’s keep supporting each other through the ups and downs. Feel better soon, both physically and emotionally. ❤️❤️❤️
@@tt_looking_glass thank you danni, I’m doing much better both physically and mentally. Thanks for the good wishes. Your channel definitely makes me feel less alone. I hope you’re doing well too. And again best of luck with your Brazil trip ❤️ I found a short of the stretch, I think it’s more for shoulders and upper back : ua-cam.com/users/shortsTNiKvZS3gMg?feature=shared
Thank you so much for sharing the link. I am definitely going to try it as soon as I am back home. ♥️
Your poor puppy can feel your anxiety & wants to bury herself & snuggle up in the blankets to feel secure. She already doesn't feel hood bc she threw up....& then you're scolding her . No wrong
Just to set the record straight, there's nothing but love here for my fluffy. 😊 I was only kidding, and she knows it-she's way too pampered to ever doubt it! This lucky pup gets the royal treatment every day, from endless cuddles to sleeping in my bed every night. . Thanks for your concern!
Ok. 🤷🏼♀️she looks & acts stressed.... You can see her "digging to China"... & you said she threw up on the bed. She's trying to fluff the bed to snuggle, = relieve stress. Pets feel your stress. Just saying. Not that she's not spoiled....she can still be spoiled & stressed. If we can feel your stress through the video....she can feel your stress in the room. Just your exhales.... that's a lot. We all go through it. Pup's & making beds etc. She feels it. All the sighs & exhales... that energy is apparent.
You do have a point. She is also super old and has dementia. Often she doesn’t know where she is, gets lost and stares at the air. This digging behavior started in the last six months. She is actually not doing well at all. She fell down the stairs and hit her head. We took her to the vet and they are taking care of her. They did some blood work and they think she may have some internal bleeding. We have to take her back on Thursday and see if it’s getting better. Please pray for my pup. 🐶
I’m so sorry that you had to cancel your flight. It’s Friday today and I hope you were able to get on a plane and get to ur appointment. If not, it’s okay. You did ur best. Don’t beat yourself up. If you did, I hope it went the way you hoped it would.
Thanks so much, Nadia. It’s really comforting to hear your understanding words. I did end up making the next day flight, but your reminder to not be too hard on myself is something I needed to hear. It's so easy to feel like we're falling short when we can't do things the way we planned because of our health.
Your encouragement means so much, and it helps to know that doing our best is enough, even if the outcome isn’t what we hoped for. I'm grateful for your support and for having you in this community. Let’s keep lifting each other up like this, it makes all the difference. 💛
Wow you’re human. I have no doubt you can do this. It sucks that feeling overwhelmed can almost paralyse yourself. Dreading pain spikes - and yes snappy means that’s not you - pain and exhaustion piling on you. You can do this. You are dreading more medical appointments and how it’s important to move forward. We are only human. Pain is overwhelming. Gentle hugs and in spirit we will be there with you. ❤ E
@user-dr6xn8fo9q What an encouraging message! Thank you. 🙏♥️
Oh honey you are completely in the right to complain! Thinking about you and hoping things are turning around and you’re able to find some relief ❤
Hey Jessie, thanks so much for your supportive words! I’m definitely working on finding those moments of relief. Here’s hoping for better days ahead. Thanks again for thinking of me, it truly warms my heart. ❤️
Thank you, for letting me know that doing this all alone is alot and thats its okay, that I feel overburdened and overwhelmed often. Ive discussed this with family, who have partners and they tell me, Im just complaining, when I tell them having several chronic illnesses and doing everything myself is hard. Even just remembering everything feels hard when fibrofog and foul moods fill in the gaps between the pain and fatigue.
The weather here in Denmark goes from very cold and cloudy to bright and warm from day to day and its horrible.
So I feel you. ♥️
Sometimes you just have to lay on the floor and cry... And then do it anyway, because it has to be done.
Thanks for being so open about what you're going through. It’s really tough handling everything alone. It’s super frustrating when family doesn't get just how hard it is. Your feelings are totally valid, not just complaints but real struggles.
And that crazy Danish weather sure doesn’t help, right? Sometimes, all you can do is have a good cry and then get back up because life doesn’t hit pause. It's okay to feel overwhelmed and take those moments to let it out. You’re doing an amazing job. Sending you a big virtual hug! 💖
Hi lovely you are very strong as you kept getting up carry on doing it. You really demonstrated the reality of us all fibromyalgia sufferers. I hope people and families who doesn’t know much can understand the reality of our lives. We can’t be pushed to meet deadlines and it’s so hard to explain. I hope you have lovely weekend ❤️
Thank you so much for your sweet message! It really lifts me up. 💖 Living with fibromyalgia is a constant battle, not just with the physical symptoms but also with making others understand what we go through daily. It's tough when the world expects you to keep up at a certain pace, without realizing the effort it takes just to make it through the day.
Your words remind me that we're not alone in this journey, and there's so much strength in our shared experiences. Here’s to more understanding and support from those around us. I hope you have a fantastic weekend too, filled with moments that make you smile and feel appreciated. Take care! ❤️
That’s why I started to use opioids regularly, because no one believes me … and my husband can’t handle me ..
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time. It is incredibly challenging to feel like you're not being believed and to cope with all that on your own. It's important to have support, especially from those closest to us.
I’m here if you need to talk or just vent. Take care of yourself, and I hope you find the support and understanding you deserve. 🌷
I feel that way all the time ! Meditation helps me . T try thinking one thing at a time. Some days are overwhelming and that's O.K.
I hear you! Focusing on one thing at a time really does help manage those overwhelming days. It's totally okay to feel like that sometimes but I often need to be reminded. Thank you for reminding me! 😊
I am dealing with hip and low back pain for almost 3 years in Canada and I hear you. The health system here get us insane 😢
I'm truly sorry to hear about the chronic hip and low back pain you've been enduring for nearly three years. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain? It's so important to have support and access to the right care. Hang in there, and please know that you're not alone in this struggle.
You've hit 13k!! Congrats!!
Yay! Thank you!
Daniela, I commiserate with you utterly. The mental and physical tolls are devastating and overwhelming. I hope you were able to go but understand the awfulness of traveling with pain and anxiety, while rushing to appointments where you need to be "on". Alone, jetlagged and beyond exhausted. I've canceled several trips under these conditions and feel terrible for you. The average person doesn't have these very real fears. Nothing exacerbates pain like insomnia and anxiety.
My frozen shoulder is the most unbearable pain to date and my fear is not getting back to Canada if there's an emergency. I'm not medically able to travel yet and have no plans to go to Canada for ten more months. But if something happens to a family member and I can't get there I'll be beside myself. This is how chronically ill think, isn't it? We have a HUGE set of worries others wouldn't dream possible. Just hopping onto a flight is a Herculean task but with frozen shoulder I literally can't. That kills me inside when I allow myself to go there. Resulting anxiety and expat guilt can be crippling.
Please consider yourself hugged. You really, really inspire me and I consider you a friend. I know your husband is extremely supportive but when our loved ones are away, yikes. Making a bed alone is too daunting for words. Freezing in fear is devastating.
Just...thank you for being you. ❤
Oh, Maslina, your words really resonate with me, and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your struggles and feelings so openly. It's incredibly tough to juggle the physical pain with the emotional toll of potentially missing critical family moments. That anxiety and fear of missing out because of our health restraints is something that others might not fully grasp, but here in this community, we are all living it.
I'm so sorry about your frozen shoulder' it sounds excruciating, and being away from home without the option to quickly return if needed adds such a heavy layer to it all. My shoulder is acting up too and I'm having an ultrasound to see if there is any damage there.
This community and I, we're here with you. Your courage in sharing helps all of us feel a bit more connected and understood. You’ve got a friend in me, always.
Sending you the biggest hug and all the support to keep navigating this journey. We’ll handle these waves together, one day at a time. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of this community. ❤️
Complain my dear . We know how all that feel. Cancelling on my kids thats the worst ever . Yeah i complain all the time. All the best and gentle huggies💜💜💜
Hey Fadiel, Thank you for the encouragement and understanding. It really is tough, especially when it impacts our loved ones, like having to cancel plans with the kids. Sharing that pain and frustration openly can sometimes be the only way to cope, and it's comforting to know there are others out there who really get it.
I appreciate your kind words and the hugs. Let’s keep giving ourselves the space to express our feelings and support each other through it all. Gentle hugs right back at you! 💜💜💜

Pets can be a barometer for the way we’re feeling inside, and sometimes they instinctively know that we’re anxious and stressed before we are even consciously aware of it ourselves. My wife was taken to hospital yesterday with severe breathing difficulties and I didn’t sleep at all last night. Our cats are acting very quiet and withdrawn, and usually they’re not like that at all. Because of the weekend my wife won’t be getting out until Monday at the earliest, and I know she’s restless and bored, waiting for this weekend to be over. I hope you will be able to take your trip to Brazil and get some answers from the doctor there. In the meantime, know that you’re not alone the way you feel. God bless, here’s hoping you can have a safe and fruitful trip!
I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's health scare and the rough night you had. It's amazing, isn't it, how attuned our pets are to our feelings? They really do seem to pick up on our stress and anxiety. It sounds like your cats are feeling the tension in the air and are reacting in their own way, staying quiet and withdrawn. I'm hoping your wife feels better soon and that the quietness of the weekend passes quickly for both of you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes for my trip to Brazil. It means a lot to know I'm not alone in this, especially coming from someone who understands the ups and downs of health issues so personally. I'm holding onto hope for some positive news from the doctor there. Take care, and God bless you too. Here’s to better days ahead for both our families! 🙏
@@tt_looking_glass Thank you Daniela for your kindness and support. My wife got out of the hospital on Monday and it seems like they have gotten to the root of her problems. We are both hoping that you can get through this trip and get some answers for yourself. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it really means a lot to hear from you and root for you in your battle with anxiety and stress. God bless you and yours, and have a safe and fruitful trip!
I'm so relieved to hear that your wife is out of the hospital and that they may have found the root of her problems. That must be such a weight off your shoulders. Thank you for your kind words and support; it truly means a lot. I'm holding onto hope for my trip to Brazil and the answers it might bring. God bless you and your family too. Here’s to continued healing and better days ahead for both of us. 🙏
Seu inglês é ótimo
Muito obrigada! ♥️
I get it!
Thank you. ♥️
There are too many people in your house for you to rely only on your husband! It’s time your adult kids start doing things in the house for you and for themselves! I’m sorry but it drives me crazy how no one offers to help you unless you can’t get out of bed.
This issue runs much deeper than simply feeling upset; it stems from my denial of my condition. I've always prided myself on my independence and have a hard time asking for help. Over the last few years, my health has declined rapidly, and I've mostly kept the full extent of it to myself, except from those like my husband, whom I can't hide it from. or close friends like yourself. It's a complex issue that goes beyond what is visible to the eyes. Sharing here is a big part of my journey to open up more. 😢
