IDK if this will be helpful to you, but a while ago I decided that if the person I'm interacting with (like your chiropractor) isn't trying to keep up a conversation with me, it is not my sole responsibility to fill the silence.
To a degree, I totally vibe with this. I think I’m just far too aware of my inability to carry casual conversation and I get in my head. Most of the time the other person is participating just fine but I second guess what I should say and if I’m “doing it right:” 😅
That is so true. I'm an extrovert , so I talk a lot and I don't know I've ever worried about what to talk about to keep a service person entertained. However, when people don't seem to want to talk, I am good with it and don't try to keep a conversation going.
@@GaryRoseCO- Relatable and ditto.
@@elyse_myers me too!
I decided that if they're not trying to talk to me it is my responsibility to sit in silence as idk what to talk about with strangers.
Your hair......is stunning. It's so pretty it's actually mildly distracting, in the best possible way. It encourages me to keep on with my curly hair journey. Outside of that random fact, your videos consistently remind me that all brains are different and it's ok. I identify with so many things you do and say. It makes me feel less like I am the only one out here like this. I am not saying "like this" is bad or good at all. I am saying it's a way to be and I am glad I am not alone. :). I really enjoy all of your content Elyse. Take good care and stay true to yourself girl!
Thank you so much 🥹 the internet isn’t known for kindness like this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for taking the time to share your encouragement with me!
Elyse. First of all, this is the first comment I have ever left on a video ever in my life. 2nd I saw one of your TikTok videos a few years ago, but I am not really on social media so it was like a one time thing. I don’t know how I recently came across you again on UA-cam as I was looking for some thing and I have been binging your episodes like it’s Bridgerton!! the relatability I have with you is insane. I have NEVER felt less alone in my life! I know how creepy that sounds and I’m sorry, but I just want to say I see you and I appreciate your authenticity and making me feel less alone in the world because you know that we all need that! so thank you for what you’re doing. Your LITERAL biggest fan. ❤❤❤
If this is creepy then I am creepy too! Lol.
... I hope it isn't creepy.
First of all, SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE!!! Second of all (I know that’s not grammatically correct but I enjoy saying it anyways) that doesn’t sound creepy at all! I have so many people I follow on UA-cam who feel like my very own comfort channel!! I’m so grateful my videos can be that space for other people!
THIS IS SO PURE (i think i said this on another of your videos, like, a day ago??? You’re just such a sweet person!!!)
I literally had to double check your comment to make sure it wasn't me who posted it, because it sounded just like what I was thinking😄
I obsessively read a *lot* of comments, including replies to comments (it feels like being involved in colleague chitchats I used to have at work before I retired). I’d say the majority of comments to Elyse’s videos sound like yours. Her issues are so relatable because so many of us are overwhelmed by all the signals and stimuli we’re bombarded with every minute. The human brain has somehow become expected (by society) to evolve exponentially in the past 25 or so years, vs. previous generations’ brains which had a much slower pace of change in which theirs were expected to adapt. No wonder we’re so crazed and stressed and anxious and depressed these days. I’m thinking that pressure manifests in different ways different people, but what Elyse experiences seems to be quite common now. So it’s not creepy at all right relate. It’s perfectly (but unfortunately) just normal. (That’s why Elyse has so many Followers!).
Fun fact, the song from the beginning was the first song I ever danced to with a boy. He was 87 and I was volunteering at a very festive nursing home
ohhhh my gosh I have never wanted to read an entire essay from a single sentence more in my entire life
elyse at the end going, “ i feel like a mental breakdown is coming….. yep i was right.” is so relatable
Thats not what she said
First!
😂you can be Elyse’s #1 fan, that’s fine 😂
Hi friend!!
Love this 🫶🏻
Hi, I work at a chiropractic office (in kearney!), and I’m here to tell you… you can always drop down to an “as needed” basis. Go as often as you feel necessary. But don’t stress if you can commit! Just communicate with your chiropractor, and when you feel better, just say you’ll come back as needed! It happens ALL THE TIME.
You’re doing a wonderful job at adulting. I’m proud of you!
I love how philosophical you are in your journal entries. My own are like "Took the dogs for a walk... came home and showered; may go get McDonald's for dinner" (3 days later) " Did end up getting McDonald's" 😂
I don’t think you’ll ever see this but in case you do, you inspire me so much. I struggle a lot with anxiety and for a long time I felt completely helpless and like I would just always feel this way. When I started watching your videos and saw you actively trying to face your anxiety and talk about how much you struggle with it I started to realize I don’t just have to be stuck dealing with it for the rest of my life. You inspire me to face my anxiety and try to better myself at my own pace. Thank you so much for being so open about how anxiety affects you, it reminds me that I’m not alone and that I’m not crazy. I love all your videos so much and I’m always so excited to see a new one come out. Thank you so much for everything.
Physiotherapist here - you should not need once weekly appointments (from a chiropractor or otherwise) for back pain for an extended period of time. If you have a good rehab plan with exercises that you do at home, you shouldn't really need weekly 'adjustments' for weeks and weeks on end (obviously I don't know your problem or what was going on, please insert all relevant disclaimers here!) but just letting you know!
I am a PT also. Please please go to a PT instead of a chiropractor.
This is very vague and can unnecessarily scare people. I was unable to walk for months and spent 6 weeks seeing my chiropractor 2-3 times a week and then an additional 8 weeks with a PT my chiropractor worked with to rebuild the muscles. Working with both saved me.
Elyse, in my humble opinion, you are absolutley awesome. You are authentic, scattered, witty, intelligent, and for some reason, the phrase "organized chaos" comes to mind. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content, as it is a rare thing to find such candor amongst influencers (or among people, in general).
I hope the future brings you more ups than downs, more joy than sorrow, and more light than darkness.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!! 🥹🫶🏼
ELYSE! PICKLES! Whenever you find yourself in NYC, there's a pickle bookstore in the Lower East Side and you can donate books in exchange for pickles!!! Or just buy pickles and secondhand books like a normal person. I'm not a pickle person but I hope you find some joy in that store!
I’m going to be there next week for work!!! YOU JUST MADE ME SO EXCITED!!!
@@elyse_myers it's called "Sweet Pickle Books, located at 47 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002!
@@elyse_myers it’s called Sweet Pickle Books. It’s at 47 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002 🫶
@jacquelynchin5513 I thought this said second hand pickles and I was like aren't all pickles second hand?
@@meg.please- I vote for Elyse to write a song, called “Second-Hand Pickles.”
I loved the journal entries so much thank you for sharing them 🥹 I unexpectedly cried when you shared the part @19:40 where you say “…my independence could potentially really get in the way of letting jonas love me…I forget to let people in” so relatable omg. Thank you for being vulnerable
I laughed, I cried, I felt seen (esp. “I make a great first impression”, the charcoochie song to the melody of Bring It On, and “the next entry is 9 days later after daily entries so I feel like a spiral is coming… yep.”
I love rereading my journals it’s like a little celebration of how far I’ve come.
Elyse, you are indeed a gift.
in case you forgot
Girl, your spanish is SO GOOD! Pretty much perfect pronunciation already!
Oh my god thank you so much??? I am really self conscious because I remember the way my grandpa sounded and I just sound so…white. And every time I learn a new word I can just hear him laughing a little. 😂
@@elyse_myersyou've got this! Open for practice whenever, being spanish first language here!
I've been acknowledging the last few days how much i've been glued to any mindless stimulation to cope with the burnout I've been in for the last month.
I also hadn't been acknowledging or realizing that it was burnout.
It's a really hard week (you know the one) (ftm, he/him btw)
and my hormones are off the charts. The general burnout is real, the autistic burnout is real.
The random bursts of a short sob when I've had six dozen moments of trying to let myself cry for weeks is disheartening.
It ends as soon as it begins, whether by my brain shutting down, or intentionally doing so with mindless media consumption because I *can't* actually handle feeling the emotions when they come up.
I know so well the feeling of finding/creating a new life for yourself and living in the joy and peace and revelations it brings- until you settle into it.
Until your "new" life is just *life* now. It comes with all the same parts the first one did. All the pain, all the grief, all the memories, yourself as a whole.
There's the new problems, the new challenges, the new stresses, the new responsibilities that are no longer new. They are simply yours.
I'm really, really struggling right now. But I knew if I was going to consume media to cope, it'd be mindful, not less.
It'd be something worth caring about, or someone. It'd give me a reason to cry, maybe.
I needed something, and it really was just your humanity. Your genuine, soulful, lovely self, who reminds me so much of my sister it warms my heart. (demeanor wise, as well as also having OCD, autism, adhd, etc)
thank you, Elyse. you are such a f'ing gift.
Me crying over how I imagine you felt reading that letter at that time and how overwhelmingly powerful it must have been but then also laughing about that top notch role call
My biggest takeaways from this video is that I really underestimate pickles and I have that song stuck in my head now. 😂
Pickles are everythinnnggggg. Ironically I don’t like them on things, just alone hahhaha
Went looking through the comments to find someone else feeling the same as me and I'm glad to find a few more - loving the last statements from the journal! Having it describe just what I need to understand, accept and remember. That I cannot run from myself. And that anxiety can, and will, always be created in my head. And be a part of me. No matter where I live.
This insight beeing particularly important these days as I am currently packing up a house I've had a lot of anxiety in - to move to a new home - with some part of me hoping I can run before more anxiety comes rolling in... Thinking that this place is where it all started, often forgetting that I have experienced versions of it my whole life. Only this place becoming the symbol of my worst experience with anxiety...yet I guess 🙂🙂🙂
Then overthinking why I would even post this comment. Who cares what I think and is rambling about? Oh well. I'll just post it anyway. Hopefully it reaches you Elyse. Sending a huge Thank you! for charing! Both this and other tough things happening to you. It may sound strange - but I often find it easier to cope with my struggles when I hear someone else going through similar things. Not feeling unique seems to make it...hurt less. Love from a burnt out woman since a few years back - who finally got the privilege to become a mom this year - and therefore is a whole new level of vulnerable 😅❤️
Thanks for another relatable video, so many things!
I've lived in an allegedly haunted house for 6 years now. I just treat the haunting presence as a roommate that wants to be acknowledged but not physically seen.
The anxiety, depression and the wherever you go, there you are, as well as growing, maturing and accepting yourself more and more is a journey I feel honored to have shared with me. I feel so much less alone to see when you describe or experience things that I also see in my life.
Good luck in all your endeavours.
Kind regards from this ADHD/Autistic man in Iceland
Elyse, you fill my soul with so much joy and comfort and validation. I know we are two different people, but I deeply understand so much of what you say, do, and share with us. I have never found someone who I am so similar to, and you make me feel seen just by being yourself and sharing your humanness. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being you ❤
You're a very gifted writer. I enjoyed listening to you read your journal entries. I would read a book with you as the author, because I like the way you describe the every day. I loved the details about packing up your life, and the way you write in meaningful metaphor. 10/10 no notes.
those shelves are PERFECT. what a perfect idea!
THANK YOU!
I showed my husband what you said about the chiropractor because he has been telling me to go so much and I finally had to ask him to stop suggesting the chiropractor. Today you put my feelings, as to why i cant go back, into words 😂😂😂
HAHAHHA I have to say it was incredibly helpful on the “pain radiating within my back” front. But in terms of the “I have no idea how to socialize myself” front, it was my nightmare.
OMG you pronounce Gouda the proper way! That makes me so happy :P
Also your journal entries are really well written.
Elyse, you just are such a light. Your humor and thought process is amazing and reminds me of my daily moments. Right down to the crumbl cookies! . I've given up on my curls (way too lazy) and you're inspiring me to the again! I started crocheting (again) because of you and forgot how much it gives me joy. Thanks for being you. So glad I found your channel. I missed seeing you!
16:24 I'm a just code software developer and, although I don't like to do it as a hobby, I really enjoy having people say, "can you make it do X?" And I just know how to do that. I love refactoring code to make it better and more readable and organized. It's so cool.
Absolutely got goosebumps when you read that last journal entry
I saved this video to watch it when I needed some peace and I’m so glad I did. I’m so encouraged by you, specially the way you approach new experiences, even when they’re scary. It’s really made me try to change the way I face my own challenges-thank you so much 💜
the singing in the start was beautiful lol
Wow. It continues to amaze me hearing someone recount their experiences and realizing I feel the same way and experience the same things. For a world so vast and full of many different people, in some ways we’re all the same. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences Elyse. I feel less alone. ❤
Your journal entries sound beautiful, the way you write is amazing
Those bookshelves are wonderful! It is great you have so many old journals to look back on! The letter from your friend was so sweet!
Oh my days❤!! I am not on threads, and this morning as tired of bs being presented on usual roll/scroll I've seen a interesting thread and thought of reading it....Long story short: found Elyse again!! I missed hearing your stories, about anything, especially everyday life...Also, another fellow curly who is powering through being encourraged to stay on the curly journey. Love ya for being so real, and cannot even express how huge that is: BREATH OF FRESH AIR that never stopped❤❤❤! Thank you for being here, and sharing content with us!
Wow, those journals are written so well, straight up a book on their own.
Your writing is so beautiful. I’d read a book by you any day!!
Thank you for sharing that last part of your journal. ❤ It was, it is... beautiful.
OMG this January 10th entry had me IN TEARS! This is so raw and well-written. I’ve also been in that place at one point in my life and your description of the feeling is SPOT ON!
Wow. The end got me...😭 I feel this deep deep within my soul.
Those journal entries made me want to start writing again. Because look at where you are right now? You made it through that spiral all the way to this moment. Two kids, still married to your best friend.. ❤ i hope you find joy in this ❤
Thank you for being back. Missed you so much!
"Wherever I go, there I am" is a great title for your book.
This content is healing! On a platform that fans the smoke of shit-talking, gossip, and drama, this is like a breath of fresh air.
I love these videos so much. You and i have so much in common in how we think and function. I wish so badly I had a friend so similar to me in person. But that's why I appreciate these videos so much. I relate. And it's so validating. Please keep them coming ❤❤❤
Your journals are so beautifully written. I think you’re working on a book, or maybe I dreamt that, but if not you def should!
That last diary entry… Girl I put this video on to cheer myself up this morning and that was a gut punch. I feel like you spoke into my soul. Thank you for putting words to my feelings but damn I didn’t need this right now😭
I’ve had some issues with my neck after a car accident, while chiropractor was helpful at beginning, it didn’t really start to improve until I started going to a physical therapist that taught me stretches and exercises to do. I would recommend getting a referral from your PCP to PT and trying that instead.
Loved hearing that last entry ❤️
Those words of being too independent and also afraid that it will stand in the way of letting people in… my every day fear and thought ❤❤❤❤❤
Can’t wait to see the new bookshelf background!
The chiropractor dilemma is the most relatable thing ever! First of all no, second of all you want me to pay how much every week, third of all I don’t want to keep having the same conversation over and over. 😆
I LOVED "ROLL CALL" 😂🎉 that was the Best!
You are fantastic.
P.s. Lawrence is....the greatest, and I am very excited to see them in October.
So impressed by your crochet work. I'm jealous
Elyse: "I'm, like, gonna cry"
*while i'm actively sobbing lmao, i'm so fucking happy for you*
hormones have me in a chokehold rn
I have not purchased nor actually read a book in... probably close to a decade, but I will definitely, absolutely, for sure be buying your book! And after hearing your writing again, I cannot wait!!!
The amount of times I laughed and started to tear up while watching this 🥹 thank you for sharing Elyse!
This made me laugh hysterically and cry my eyes out. Love your videos and the authenticity of them (or at least I assume, since I don’t personally know you)
Elyse you fill me with joy. I love your videos so much. That’s all. ❤
Seven Year Slip is one of my to reads of the year! Reading A Novel Love Story this week!
If you need a crochet project to finish fairly quickly that will feel rewarding to complete, I recommend the Taylor Swift dress!
I’ve had so many people recommend this!! I WANT TO TRY!!
@@elyse_myersI’ve seen a lot of patterns (I can’t read them lol) and watched a few videos and this one was the best one for me. It made me feel like it was a non-overwhelming task that I am capable of completing! ua-cam.com/video/kH9embpHzvE/v-deo.htmlsi=az73jppJe5C8TKnZ
This is everything I love about Elyse in one video ❤ Great stories, great laughs
The diary was so honest and moving🥺 thank you for sharing with us. Love from Japan ✨
So many laughs during this video!😂 And the diary reading at the end. So sweet.
that january 10th entry had me bawling at the end.
I love that letter from your friend 🥰🥰🥰 what a joy to rediscover those things!
Also!! I drove passed Harbor House everyday last week and thought of you 🫰🏽❤️
STOOPPPPPP THIS MAKES ME WANT TO CRY I MISS HH SO MUCH 😭♥️ please go inside and get a cookies and cream milkshake for me some time!!!!
@@elyse_myers I absolutely will!! I mean, I'm lactose intolerant but that's what lactaid pills are for 🐄
I love the Basement Book Reviews idea!!! I would love reviews in general!
3:03 This made me laugh so hard! That's exactly what my brain has done my whole life! I never called any of the joke-y/prank hotlines as a kid lol
3:53 The immediate spiral into how your joking message would be recieved is so validating! I frequently spiral & overthink my messages because I'm worried about how it could be misinterpreted lol This was so refreshing & a great reminder to be kind to ourselves. We're doing our best 😊
Just sitting here grinning to myself, watching you read the journals. Makes me feel like I should re-read mine, but I think mine are mostly angsty/depressed with a little bit of cringe😂😅 I actually wonder if I ever wrote about poop in any of my entries?🤔 I feel like I definitely missed out on a whole section of possible Journaling, cause I don't think I really talk about my body at all ever? 😟 Thank you for the new journal prompt🫡
The music you overlayed you thinking about your decision to leave the house is me in my ADHD panic trying to make any simple decision like whether to leave my house or what on earth am I supposed to make myself for lunch again hahahaha
Also that note from your friend is BEAUTIFUL. What an extremely eloquent person
This reminds me of my son's first visit to the chiropractor. I stayed in the appointment and it was a wonderful lady I visit myself. I was very cautious to make sure he felt comfortable and that I'd advocate for him if he needed to pause treatment or stop. His words in a very loud voice, "I can't believe I am trusting you with both my safety and my sanity." [7 years old] He repeated this phrase many times and in a very bold voice. I kept pausing to see if he felt comfortable continuing and he was, but needing to make sure they knew this was all very BIG and there were big feelings associated with that sort of contact.
Sweetest journal entries ever, so authentic and such raw, genuine observations of self.
I love your videos so much! Thank you for letting us in :D
Ok for two days now this is on repeat in my head “Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low”🫵🏽🤣
WRITE A BOOK GIRLY
I am in the process of finishing a book!!!!
@elyse_myers yay!!! Literally cannot wait!❤
@@elyse_myers🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holy crap that last journal entry is me
I just had to leave and then come back after I finished my duolingo. Thank you for reminding me! I am learning Latin! Nothing like learning a dead language! 😆 🤣
Anyway, you should be friends with that author. She seems really nice. We could all do with a new friend once in a while.
I work with charcuterie boards and your song will forever be in my head.
YESSSSSS 💀😂
You could literally publish excerpts from your diary, (especially since you have so much material to pick from) as a novel, and we would all buy it. Seriously.
When watching you realized have felt like you portray but have masked,pushed through, cried through many nights for decades. Now blissfully alone except critters, anxiety,self doubt much better
I'm sitting here contemplating if you renegotiated with the ghosts before filling the bookshelves.
And now I need to go look up the etymology of ghost to find out where the /h/ came from.
I ordered a mesh tea infuser ball with weighted moon & star mini tea pot charm and a deluxe rapid egg cooker from Amazon when I was sleeping. Didn’t know I did it until they came. 😂
1 frame that letter and read it often. 2. Nothing has hit at crumbl since those blueberry muffin cookies. 3. Thank you for spacing the food. Those charcuterie people have no right to decide what touches!
Thank you
22:10-22:25-22:40 DANG girl I felt that!!!!
I just appreciate you as a person and you are my best friend (just so you know) you make my life better
I had a song stuck for days, a song I don't even know except for two lines "somebody come n git her she's dancing like a stripper"
Please please please more book content 💛🙏🏻
I LOVE Lawrence!
Omg 1/10/17- the need to start from scratch.... Yes. This.
as a college student who has kept a diary since 2nd grade, I’m excited to look back on all my notes one day
You bring so much joy just by being yourself ❤
2017 Elyse just spoke to my soul. I've been running from me my whole life, trying to find that safe place, that home where I will finally belong. I've yet to find it. Maybe the next move...
I started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago, and today I thought about your video from a few months ago where you talk about running away from the things you love...because I'm doing the same thing. Will I complete the next step in my project (that I've been working on since LAST summer) this weekend? I hope so, but it also means that I'll be closer to being able to buy more houseplants...and that comes with deciding if I want to go to the greenhouses alone or with my sister-in-law...I love walking through greenhouses and buying plants, but it kinda stresses me out...maybe I need to try to keep a journal of some sort.
The only country i recommend to people is Grey DeLise, great singer-songwriter who also happens to be the voice of Azula in Avatar and Daphne in Scooby Doo.
I felt so much of this 😂😭 i got told i needed physical therapy twice a week and i told them i didnt think that would work for me and they insisted we just schedule the whole next month of appointments and thats how i skipped 3 appointments and now I feel like they hate me RIP
I have gone back once since and they were of course noticably annoyed with me, but like i warned them it was a bad idea. i know my anxiety can barely handle the calls to make the appointments i need let alone to cancel the appointments i can't make. And then i feel so guilty because i feel like they think i don't respect their time and the shame spiral is rooouughh 😬🤣 it will get better but aaaauuugghhhh ykno?
That letter from your friend is beautiful 🥹
That is so funny. I ordered on the day they had those too. I had the Salted Caramel. It was good.
That January 10th journal entry hit home. 😔🥺🎯🩷
Elyse!! Long time viewer, first time commenter. As someone whose body started betraying her as soon as she turned 30, can I suggest trying a physical therapist instead of a chiropractor? Because they're guiding you through exercises, it feels more empowering vs. pressure-filled (and there's less touching!!). And a good one will give you plenty of exercises and stretches you could do at home, so your body isn't completely derailed if you miss some session:! It's been truly game changing for me.
You're a beautiful writer!
