STORY EIGHT: coping with anxiety
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 09. 2022
- Last week I took a work trip out to Northern California. And while I was looking forward to the trip ... I ended up battling SO much anxiety. I'm grateful that I was able to push my way through it and enjoy very, very HOT California for a few days. But I'm equally happy to be back in my little cottage here in upstate New York.
All of the footage from California was shot on my Go Pro because it's just so dang easy to carry around! Last year when I was in the same area, the ocean stole my Go Pro! I'm happy to report that didn't happen this year : )

This vlog is like instantly natural medicine for me. Just like you, I often have to face some dose of anxiety, and leaving alone, does not make it easy. You have to know that what you have done with this video is a wonderful gift to people feeling the same and thinking they are alone. Very comforting !!... THANK YOU.
Proud of you for pushing through your anxiety. We don't realize what we would miss if we don't go through.
My first time with a panic attack was about 8 years ago. It happened after my son joined the service. I didn't realize what it was until I went to the doctors. The anxiety has got worse since becoming primary caregiver of my parents. Being in God's creation seems to be my best medicine.
Thank you for sharing.
All of these anxiety-ridden life moments can actually strengthen us when we push through them, as you have. Stay gentle and loving with yourself. Tremendous 'thank you' for continuing to share your beautiful, insightful videos of your life.💗
You're so right!!! Lots of growth can happen ... even though in the moment it's tough. Thank you so much for stopping by and your kind words ❤❤
What a kind doctor. And those words he said that resonated with you, resonate with me now. “Be gentle with yourself.” Beautiful story and a lovely lovely video. Thank you for sharing. Hope you are having a much better week. 🌸
Hi Kate, i have, since 2years like you, panic attaks. Almost every morning i wake up in a panic attack. It's so scary! I have 4 cats and they help me a lot. I hope that in the future everything will be fine for everyone. Love and hugs from Germany.❤
I know exactly how you feel. I suffered with panic attacks in my early 30’s They can be very scary. I too went to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack. I still have some anxiety when things get stressful. I’ll be 70 in November and I have learned to be good to myself. Many blessing 🙏💕
I'm so glad you've learned to be good to yourself!! : ) And thank you so much for stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful day!
We highly sensitive people have had a really hard time these past 3 years. Not only have we had all the struggles with COVID that everyone is having, but we’re also feeling everyone else’s struggles, too. The global emotional field has been so intense and we feel all of that intensity in our own bodies. Thank you for sharing so honestly about your struggles and about being a HSP. And thank you for your beautiful videos, which are like a balm for my sensitive soul. ❤
Be proud of yourself for sharing this! I connected with you, as many do. I started breathing techniques and mostly meditation...it is a part of my daily routine. Sending you all the positive vibes❤️
Your story is my story and many other women out there. Thank you so much for sharing. You calm me quickly when I have an anxiety attack. I can go into hyperventilation really fast. I grab my tablet immediately and I forget what was making me so anxious. I love you my sister. GOD IS AWESOME
Sending big hugs❤❤ We've just got to go day by day 🤗🤗
I'm having a down day. I just found your channel last week. When I find myself feeling unsettled, I look for a video from you. New or older, along with prayer and the Lord, your videos calm my soul. Thank you
As a therapist in Colorado I see many clients who struggle with anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis. I believe that learning mindfulness is a skill that can help us as we learn how to be “in-the-moment” as often as possible. The unknown can feel overwhelming; yet, all of our power is in the moment so we learn to stay there often. I highly recommend any mindfulness books by Jon Kabet-Zin who taught many mindfulness practices in Boston. The present moment is truly God’s present to us.
Thank you, Lynn!!! I appreciate that : )
Thankyou Beautifully said
One of my biggest anxiety diffusers is to actually say to those around me that I am having some anxiety at the moment. It somehow diffuses it because almost everyone can identify with it and they are very understanding about it…and those who are jerks or uncaring and not compassionate at all…well, it is a good revealer of whom to avoid in the future. But speaking the words “hey I’m having some anxiety right now, hold on please!” actually takes the power out of the experience and makes it less serious for me. Glad you rose above it all and had a wonderful time!
Thanks for sharing and not pretending that life is always wonderful! Sending love across the pond from England X
Hello.. thank you so much for this video.. we share the same diagnosis on a lot of things and I too had suffered a bad anxiety attack and thought I was having a heart attack! Lord I cannot stand those moments. I am now working on a project in fixing up my shed and transforming it into a cottage that I have a name for it already and thought about adding this on with the channel I already have to be able to help the people like your doing right now and not even realizing it. It will do me alot of good as well as being in my garden and being around my sweet dog and chickens.. I just love the peace and quiet it keeps me idled down for the most part.. I binged watched All your videos and was so at peace looking at them and can feel all of your presence in with the nature all the way in Tennessee.. Thank you for showing your videos and look forward to seeing more.. It is the best therapy ever.. I can't wait to show my videos. I won't be talking or using any subtitles just let the nature talk for me, maybe in the future on it but still I don't know.. Thank you again.. Please look at my channel and subscribe if you will.. I couldn't find myself for a long time until the third try on what I really enjoy and that is Gardening.. Stay Blessed and like you always say be gentle, and kind, and to always love yourself the way you are.. xoxoxo
What an amazing doctor you were blessed to have!. I had my first panic attack at 24(I also get a tingly numb left side and vertigo and waves of panic in my body) and I was put on xanax instead of being given a warm hug and an explanation of what was going on (post partum exhaustion, and stress from a huge move and a sick parent). No one explained what a panic attack was and hot to deal with it(I float through it but don't pushmyself).We now know that benzodiazapines should only be given for 2 to 4 weeks but I was on them for 36 years! I am now trying to taper off them, which is a nightmare. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable side.I love how real you are.What a wonderful comminuty you are building here.
Thank you so much for your honesty. I suffer from anxiety and I understand how hard it is to push through sometimes when you’d rather just curl up with a blanket and your dog.
I remember dealing with panic disorder. I was really bad in my early 20's. Meds helped me a lot. I am glad you are okay now.
I was in San Fran at 21yrs.old form Pittsburgh Pa. talk about a culture shock! It was such a beautiful city on so many levels I'm glad I saw it when I did.
You are just a doll! I love your "realness" and I love Charlie!!!! 😍(i'm the one with the Chi/MinPin: Taco) 😆He is seriously TOO adorable!!
Thank you for another lovely and thought provoking video. 🤗🤗🤗Anxiety has definitely been more of a challenge to me the older I get. Always a work in progress.💝
Thank you, Robin and Taco : ) I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and yes ... we are all just works in progress trying our best. Sending big hugs! : )
Felt like you were talking about me. Thank you so much for your videos. I needed to hear i am not the only person feeling like this.
Great message. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing with us. I have been experiencing a change in anxiety levels and how I deal with stress since 2020 also. Being an artist has been my life boat. Take care now. Really enjoy your videos. Oh...if you are enamored with the light in California you need to experience Hawaii...its ten fold here! Sending much Aloha across the miles.💫💞🌈🌺🙋♀️
A lovely video. 108 degrees is crazy hot! I don't do well in the heat either. The ocean was beautiful, bringing out the playful child in you which was wonderful to witness. The power of the waves was awesome. Knowing what it feels like to return to a place that grounds you and centres you was beautiful to witness. What an amazing gift for you to return home to your lush garden with its deep greens. It was like the angels and fairies worked on a happy surprise for your return! Thank you for sharing about your moment when the doctor hugged you. I love hearing when people go above and beyond protocol and act on what their heart is telling them to do. A hug, reassurance from a fatherly figure perhaps, did more for you than any western medicine could at that moment. Really beautiful. It's always feels so good to be back in the place your heart calls home. You are a very beautiful woman from the inside out.
Beautiful video!! Thanks for the encouragement and reminder to be gentle with ourselves! It’s easy for many of us to be nice to others but not extend the same kindness to ourselves. Big hug to you for the beauty and gentleness that you share with us ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed ... thank you for watching and commenting. Sending big hugs!!! ❤❤
I get very anxious about things too, and have a couple of panic attacks but not like the one you mentioned, just shortness of breath and breaking out in a sweat and feeling like I'm going to pass out. The last time it happened it was the near the end of my shift I didn't tell anyone and was glad to go home but strangely 10 minutes after I got home it settled down after going straight to bed and I was a little annoyed that it went as quickly as it came even though it lasted for an hour. Don't know what triggered it but I do have a stressful job working in a nursing home - but still haven't forgotten that day either. I even get anxiety when having to make a phone call or when meeting new people - I'm an introvert so have always struggled with this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for for the tip on taking the time to reflect on being OK after feeling anxious to feel better about it next time. That is a big help. Hope you are enjoying the nice weather.
Thank you so much for sharing 😁 it helps us feel like we are not alone. Have a nice rest of your week and give Charlie a big hug 🐶
Thank you for sharing. You are not alone. We all have had so many changes in the last few years and we have to do what he said. “Be gentle.” You are so brave and strong.
Hi, just wanted to say that this video was very peaceful and calming for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it helps to feel less lonely when dealing with anxiety. I discover your channel recently and since I'm addict, I love your Boho cottage that seems a real oasis of peace. Seing you reconnecting with nature reminds me that this is something that heals me too so I'm more aware that I have to find time for this. Thank you and have a peaceful day! 💛
As a panic attack veteran there is a small paperback book by Dr. Claire Weekes titled Hope and Help for Your Nerves this was a sort of bible for me when at my worst. I believe she has some videos on CZcams as well. This is the most important book I have ever read. Her main premise is: on the other side of fear is recovery. If you read this little book it will help you greatly.
I suffer with anxiety very badly, & I'm on medication because of it. Listening to you talk was like you were me. All of those things are me. I hardly ever leave my house & if I do always with someone else. I've got to go to the dentist on Wednesday and I'm so worried about it, but hopefully I can push through & will be OK.
TFS.. I just came upon ur channel, it connects well with me. There's a sense of calmness . It makes me feel not alone. And it relaxes me watching a couple of your video. 😊❤
I'm loving your videos. I wonder if anyone ,anywhere in the whole world will ever be quite the same after these last few years . Thank you for sharing something so private and showing the positive that came from a dark place. Every day I have to say things to myself like , just do the next thing that needs doing and every day the sun rises again for a fresh day. It's so important to keep our connections with family and friends. Thank you lovely 😍
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos!!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comment. You're so right ... day by day : ) Sending big hugs!
Thank you sooo much for sharing! I am so glad that you added that last conversation. I just had an anxiety attack a few weeks ago (my first, hopefully only) and am watching your videos. You are so kind, caring and intelligent! I wish you peace and calm. Thank you for your encouraging words.
Thank you for talking about this, that sentence really resonated with me "it changed my base line for dealing with stress". I just find this is so true for me but I've never really put it into word's. This is 3 year's after Covid, and I have come to realise that the stress,fear,trauma everything of that period has fundamentally changed me as a person. I don't feel like myself. I mean I'm fine I'm living my life. But I don't always recognise myself or my responses or reactions to situations.
Beautiful share. Thank you. You are definitely in good company with anxiety right now. Sending big hugs back to you. And, what a lovely doctor! A rare and beautiful find. 😊
That doctor was an angel 😇
Firm but gentle is a great way to manage. Liz
My brain tells me the same thing. I'm always trying to work through it ! Animals and Nature are what calm me.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, it was beautiful. I bet Charlie was so happy to have his Mom back home 💜🐾💜
Thank you. Thank you. I needed to hear all that you have said. I just discovered your channel, and I have binge watched most of your videos. Your spirit and your Grace are what captivated me throughout your beautiful videos, but, this video, in particular, pierced me fully. I have always been quiet, reserved, and sensitive, but, over the Pandemic, I became outright afraid. Alone. Panicked. I decided to go on social media, as a way to connect, and give others some joy, as well as myself, a push to stay relevant. I was always a very optimistic, positive, joyful person, even though I was extremely shy. But, as I got older, depression and anxiety preyed on me. I kept it at bay, as much as I could, until the pandemic. I was still in that optimistic mode, so, I decided to get on social media, for the very first time ever, and, give a little joy back to those who got me through. I spent much time looking at other people’s lives, and how they were making such an effort to be positive, happy, and show the good of how you can live in isolation, but still learn, create, give, and be more free. I thought, if they spent so much time giving to others, so could I. But, I think my quiet and naive ways, never being on any platform before, made me somewhat of a target. Anyway, it ended very badly, and, I was more broken and alone than I ever was before. That is not to say I did not have truly WONDERFUL moments. I met the most beautiful people, who were warm, knowledgeable, and, my creativity peaked when I was on social media. I wrote songs, played guitar, and even started painting again. But, slowly, the predators rolled in, and now, I am left, not trusting anyone, and afraid to come out of my shell. I was always a mouse, hiding in her safe hole, only coming out, to cheer up others, or to work on my art, otherwise, I stayed where the world could not hurt me. Anyway, needless to say, my time on social media was very different than yours. I am so very glad you are having a positive experience, and believe me when I say, you were sent to show me that there are good and beautiful people out there, and that they are a lot like me. Thank you for making me feel not alone. Also, on a side note, your clothing is exquisite. You inspired me to try to rise up, and make myself more presentable, as well as give myself some joy, as, I am very much a girl. Dresses appeal to me. They make me happy. And, I watch you, in your beautiful dresses, and I think they make you lighter, more free, and also feel feminine. You inspire. Thank you. Your channel is wonderful. I hope it gives you, what it gives all of us, peace and joy. Best wishes to you.
Actually this week I am more anxious than I've been in quite a long time, and part of my anxiety is also over an upcoming overseas trip. I have travelled a lot in my life, and these last years have been the longest period in which I have not travelled outside the country. With Covid, and travel restrictions (which are easing now), part of me really doesn't want to go - like you said, I'd just rather stay in my comfort zone. Friends who know me and my adventurous spirit would be very surprised! Age is likely a factor too. But thank you for this video. It really helped me stop and think, and breathe. You have a lovely week.
I also live in upstate NY; isn't it lovely in many ways?! Thank you for sharing how you deal with anxiety. I am just learning in the past few years how to calm myself down after feeling anxiety all of my life. That 'shift' in my thoughts when I realize I have some control over how I react to situations is life changing. All of a sudden I remember that I can take deep breaths and start to slow down those racing thoughts. Your videos are wonderful, your cottage is a little slice of heaven and your style is so lovely as are you! Bright blessings to you!
Yes, as I get older, leaving my sanctuary becomes more difficult. I have to push myself to be adventurous. COVID has been quite the bugaboo!
Every time we make it through a difficult time it's an opportunity to use that experience in the future, as a learned lesson. Next time things seem over whelming, tell yourself: I got through this before and know how I did it. The uncertainty of life is difficult for most humans, we are thinking beings, a gift but also a curse in a way.
so true!!! thank you : ) : )
Thank you, I have had a particularly rough week and I was always taught to suck it up and move on, which I tend to do but I have actually remembered to stop and take care of myself. I did that by going to to bed early last night and getting a good night’s sleep.
BTW I love when you talk at the end of your videos, feels more personable ❤
I'm glad you got to do a little something extra for yourself : ) : ) Thank you so much for stopping by and watching my video! Best wishes!
I think a lot of people are going through different levels of stress and anxiety these last couple of years. Mine started before covid, while my husband was on his way to San Diego CA. I was so worried about him that I kicked by anxiety into high gear and even after he got safely home, I hadn't realized the long term affects from that. I ended up with IBS and heart palpitations and tension headaches and was having a tough time for awhile. Then covid and everyone was freaking out and somehow, it had a reverse affect on me, mostly because I was determined to not let this get to me. Somehow, with faith and prayer, I've gotten better. The IBS is still there, but milder most of the time. The headaches are fewer and not as intense, thankfully. No more heart palpitations, thankfully. I feel the least anxious now than I had for quite awhile and it''a such a relief to feel like I have a little control. Not saying something couldn't flip the switch but focusing on gratitude has helped me a lot and I hope you continue to get stronger too.
You're a Doll
Really like your videos. Thank you for sharing your anxiety experiences. I have also suffered with anxiety and panic attacks in the past and thankfully they are now in the past. It is always lovely to return home after being away.
thank you for sharing !! i have gone through a very similar thing through covid and learnt also that self compassion is very necessary :)
Don’t miss out on anything because of anxiety. I take a small amount of Paxil and it works. Anxiety runs in my family and made them sick. I’m feeling great and less anxious which is wonderful.
Thank you for your humility in sharing your experience with anxiety…as a fellow sufferer, it a group I didn’t want to join, but here I am & here I’ll most likely stay. I appreciate the way it’s expanded my empathy towards others & help me see life through multiple lenses. I now embrace the struggles as I know it will develop in me more capacity to love & grow…xoxo aa
I dealt with anxiety and big panic attacks about 15 years ago. I didn’t know what was wrong and how to handle it. I didn’t receive much sympathy from others. Therapy and meds for six months didn’t seem to make a difference. I weaned myself from both and found out I am an empath. I can handle stress differently now because I know how to recognize when fear is filling my mind. Your video is lovely! It doesn’t matter what you talk about, it matters that you are authentic. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience! It is important for us to realize how much stress we ALL have been through in the last couple of years and to be gentle with ourselves, like you said. I especially appreciated that you mentioned that your baseline for coping had changed - and I can relate! After extreme stress sometimes we simply don't have the resilience to bounce back that we have had in the past. Learning to deal with increased psychological vulnerability is difficult, but can actually be helpful if we embrace it. Thanks again! Beautiful videos!
What a darling. I have some of the same issues. I dread leaving the house most days! I'm so glad you talk in some of your videos, makes it more personal and you're such a pretty gal with such a great attitude. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
Thank you for sharing-it’s not always easy to take care of yourself. I enjoy your videos-very relaxing.
Beautiful honest video, thank you. Your shots of the sunset were extraordinary. Love how you introduced the sea.
Bless yur heart❤ i know,, what yur talking about with the anxiety levels..... Blessings always🦋
You seem such a lovely person. Most people will relate to what you are saying. I love your life and wish I lived in a cottage next door. Although I don’t know a lot about snow and cold weather. Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
*Yeah*Yeah*Yeah*.... I have been Waiting for your next video!! 🎉 Thank You!! 😊
Not to discount the topic of this video At All-- but, am wondering, would you consider doing a "Cottage Tour" video? The glimpses of your home are so cozy!! It would be so nice to see it all in a 'formal' Tour.
Just A Thought... 🥰
LOVING Your Videos 😊😇
I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks for sharing your insights about this particular journey, working through anxiety. We all have times that we go through some kind of anxiety and it's good to be aware and take the steps we need to calm ourselves down. My anxiety seems come after the fact- when I realize what I just went through (calmly) and then I have the breakdown. Your photography is beautiful. I love taking photos of my surroundings (I live in a rural mountain area). Take care.
Thank you for sharing this part of your story. . It's very brave of you to be so vulnerable. I came to your channel for the boho decor as recommended by CZcams. I stayed and have watched almost all your videos for the authenticity and scrappy, beautiful spirit that you're demonstrating. Thank you. I've never been a particularly anxious person, but for the last couple of years I too have wrestled down anxiety almost every day. Being gentle with ourselves but firm is such good advice. (Knowing when to be one or the other is a little tricky. 😊) Stay strong. xo karen
I've just found your channel, absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing. I've become much more anxious since the pandemic. I have stopped drinking alcohol as it was making me anxious. I'm 48 now so I also think anxiety is one of the symptoms of perimenopause. Sending love to you, I love your style and your home, and your videos are so beautifully shot x
Thank you for sharing, I have the same issues! When I have to travel away from home I really get anxious!! We all have so much going on and are dealing with things in our own way I know but its good to not feel alone. Thank you! 😊😊😊😊
It's always nice to know we're not alone in our feelings!!!!! I'm learning through posting these videos and seeing so many people's comments that many, many of us are dealing with anxieties. So ... I send you big hugs!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with anxiety. Your honesty is refreshing.
That doctor and his words and actions were so lovely and kind. Bless him and bless you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. Also, thank you for sharing your talent of creating these unique videos. :-)
Love your videos so excited when I get the notification 🔔 thank you for your beautiful authenticity and sharing so many people are suffering with anxiety the world is crazy but also wonderful love and light to you x
Thank you for the authenticity. I understand and relate to the symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety. I never experience anxiety before and I did during covid. Oh gosh as I listen to your story is as if I was listening to myself wow wow thank you ⭐
Happy to hear you made it back home and even enjoyed your trip. I worry a lot. I can't make decisions, or try something new. I fear something will go wrong. It's tough living this way and it does not help that I have a blaming, controlling husband who hates mistakes. I always feel like something could go wrong at any time. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. Really enjoyed this video. Take care.
I understand all you have said. Thank you so much. 🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
You made me tear up! :/ :) thankyou for sharing about your anxiety. I have only recently realised that I also suffer from the occasional panic attack and anxiety but never realised. From my background I was always told to just deal and have been conditioned to just put my feelings aside. :/ being born in the late 60's in NZ. I would get told to stop crying & tuffin up! Even when my life is / was crap. Still learning how to deal without doctors etc. :/ 😪🌠😊
Like you said at the end it is what it is! Been binging your videos since I found you yesterday. Only problem I have is reading the text as my eyes don't focus fast enough since I'm older than dirt LOL to read them. But if I wasn't enjoying them I wouldn't still be here watching. :)
thank you for being so real. love your vlogs
So glad to see your new video!!!
Totally sympathize…. I’ve learned to have control over anxiety and panic attacks and not the other way around. But it took years. I’m sure you’ve helped someone today ❤️
Thank you for sharing this! It made me cry. So helpful. ❤
Thank you for your transparency! I wish you all the best & May all your wishes & desires come to you. 😊
Thank you again for your beautiful video, it’s such a relief to see that I am not alone with my feelings, there’s nothing to be ashamed of your anxiety. It seems a part of life, everything is so crowded and full and in a hurry. That gives a lot of stress and anxiety. When I look at your videos in your beautiful little cottage ik gives me a feeling of calming down. You are a beautiful person, thank you 🙏🏼 🇪🇬
Your videos are very calming I've taken today off and spending time cleaning, walking and hanging around the house
I'm so glad the videos are calming for you : ) I hope you had. wonderful day off : )
@@littlebohocottage Thank you, I did have a wonderful day off.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I too had a similar experience during early 2020. I too was diagnosed to be having anxiety and constantly struggle to push myself at certain times of the day. It's a relief to know that I am not alone and we are all coping in ways possible.
Ten years ago at the time of my husband's funeral, the priest said to me: Be kind to yourself. Those words have sustained me through many a sobbing fest as, I believe, tears are also a kind of kindness... my daughter believes they wash the soul 😊 BTW, you have killer legs!
I love your space! ❤️❤️
Thank you for your inspiration ❤️
What you are sharing resonates with me so much…thank you. I similarly find myself in situations where it just feel so overwhelmingly not what I would want to do…..but then, when I ‘push through’ as you put it, I find that once on the other side, it wasn’t actually so bad. Panic attacks are real and can be a terrifying experience. X
I understand, thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience, you are not alone, I deal with anxiety and know how difficult some things can be. Hugs xoxoxox
Thank you for this wonderful video.
Wonderful video really touched what lm goin threw even if l can't admit it l still have alot of stress in me,thanks for this video it proved alot of things l have to do for myself,l love your videos always, take care 🙂 ❤ 😊 ♥ 😀
I've had a few periods in my adult life that caused extreme grief, depression and anxiety. Meds have helped so much. So has structuring my life to set boundaries, making time for what I call "Pleasurable Pursuits", and as you say, being gentle with myself. I've recently found your channel and am loving it. Hugs to you, you are a kindred spirit. :)
Thank you, I love how you calm me.
I'm so so glad the video calms you, Arlene : ) That makes my heart happy!
I identify with the "why did I get so anxious?" I'm involved with two events a month as an initiator, organiser and running of the events; every single month in the week leading up to each one I'm sleepless, highly anxious and constantly questioning why I'm putting myself through it, telling myself I'm going to quit after the event but during the event I enjoy myself immensely and afterwards feel proud of what I achieve. I wish I could skip the week long anxiety trip twice a month!
Oh man ... that's exactly what happens to me before certain things! And then it's followed by pride of achievement and desire to do it all over again ...despite the anxiety : ) Always nice to know others share similar feelings : ) Sending big (calming) hugs!
@@littlebohocottage Wouldn't it be lovely to not have to go through the anxiety and just enjoy the anticipation, I can't imagine ever getting to that point. Lol. Big hugs returned, I love your channel, such peaceful, beautiful and thoughtful content. Ax
I appreciated you talking about stress and anxiety by sharing your experience. Even though San Francisco had a beautiful ocean view, I prefer being at your “home” too. Thank you for making such calming videos, because I search out serenity in this crazy thing we call life.
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, Deb! We really do have to seek out what calms us these days. Sending big hugs!!!!!
Well done its a balancing act your doing great.
🙏 sis for sharing your story with us.
I really enjoy your authenticity 🤗 🤓
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words!!!! ❤❤
Hi. I have had issues with anxiety and panic attacks. Actually same thing...Dr said it wasn't a heart attack, even though it felt like it. As I have gotten older and eventually had a stroke due to high blood pressure, I was blest I was at the doctor when it happened and they quickly got me to the hospital. My faith in God is everything, reading the Bible along with daily prayer has helped me tremendously. You can't live in this world and not get stressed out. There is just too much constantly happening that affects us. Our creator gave us emotions for a reason. Reading the Psalms and Proverbs in the Bible is so calming. There are people before us that had some of the same struggles that we have today, believe it or not. It really helps to read how they overcame or even failed in their decisions. God gave us the Ten Commandments for our benefit and protection so we could live a happier life. I would encourage you to read them and think about how each one benefits you. We only get one shot at this life and God loves us and wants us to depend on Him. This world will let us down
All I know is it has worked for me and when it is time for me to die, I have hope in a life to come. Check out what I am saying. It's Free!
Please read Dr. Weeke's book mentioned below. Fighting and pushing through anxiety only makes it worse! Once you let it wash over you willingly even invited much like the waves that were so nicely filmed you can take away it's power to a great degree I hate to see people suffer as I have.
Thank you ❤ take care of you
Thank you for sharing!! I've had anxiety struggles as well..we need to keep up the talk
You're welcome. Thank you for watching : ) Big hugs ❤❤
I feel these days once you get over one anxious thought or circumstance you get another here in Illinois, they will pass the IL Safe-T Act on 01/01/23 which is release without bail after bad crimes it's a pretty terrible bill if you read all of it.
Thank you thank you
Knowing and talking to God helps me with my anxiety.
