Everything you said is like an exact mirror to what I’ve been experiencing anxiety wise. The pandemic completely reset years of progress and it’s so demoralizing. It’s so so embarrassing because people just don’t understand why I suddenly seem incapable or even incompetent when really I’m just in a chokehold of fear that is borderline crippling mentally. I’m so glad I watched this today ❤ You’re a star Joanna, I hope you have a great year 😊

This is one of the best videos you've ever posted. As someone who is going through a lot of anxiety - and new anxiety that I've never felt at that - working up the courage to go to the grocery store and make yourself dinner is a good place to start. Completing one task a day is annoying and makes you feel like a lazy POS but it's fine. I have been trying to express my emotions lately and can't, but you just did. :) thank you

I got married last year and at the same time was battling issues with my health which caused me to lose a bunch of weight. I wasn’t nearly where I wanted to be with gaining weight on my special day, I even had to use tape to hold my dress up… but you know what? When I see my wedding pictures all I see is the most beautiful memory with my husband and our families. I realize now how little that really mattered after the many breakdowns I had leading up to the wedding. We can only do our best with preparing for anything in life, really. Take everything as it comes and know one day you’ll look back with much kinder eyes to yourself. I certainly do. ❤

Thank you Joanna for always being so honest about your mental health. I (mom) suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Sometimes a certain "something" will set off a panic attack, but sometimes they come out of nowhere. It's hard for people who don't have anxiety to understand how a person can just start to panic. That feeling of doom and dread......the fast heartbeat ........the nausea.....the diarrhea.......the feeling you can't breathe. It's just horrible. When my daughter and I started our KZbin channel, it helped me quite a bit. Kept my mind "busy" Gave me something to focus on. She's a huge help when I am having an attack. She sits with me, tries to get me focused on something.....anything.....which helps. So I totally understand how alone you must feel when going through that and Ted isn't there. Especially in a quiet house. Turning on the tv and watching something funny, or watching KZbin videos helps. It's that distraction thing. You are such a lovely person Joanna.....funny and strong too. Sending you huge MOM HUGS!! 💗

one time I forgot my medication when I went home for christmas. I live out of state from the rest of my family and they only see me once or twice a year. With the holiday, I wasn't able to pick up my prescript for a couple of days, and that was enough to send me into a full cuckoo banana spiral. I remember feeling so embarrassed that the one time my family gets to see me I'm basically non-functioning and just physically rigid with anxiety. It was a bummer because I was actually at a great place in my life and really thriving and everyone was so worried about me during and after that time.

Found this on a UK patient site regarding possible causes of your dermatitis. “Make-up, cleansers and cosmetics applied to the area affected on the face. It may be that certain ingredients of cosmetics may act as the trigger. For example, one study found that make-up foundation seemed to be a particular provoking factor. Physical factors such as strong winds and UV light. Fluoridated toothpaste and chewing gum have been suggested as possible triggers. Yeasts and germs (bacteria) that live on the skin and in hair follicles have been suggested as a possible trigger. (However, perioral dermatitis is not just a simple skin infection.) Hormone factors may play a part, as some women find that the rash becomes worse just before a period. The oral contraceptive pill may be a factor in some cases.

I didn't realize how badly the pandemic affected me mentally until fairly recently. I had the same paralyzing fear of everything, and guilt on top of that for feeling like i was in "limbo", just going through the daily motions but not truly living. So i made a list on my phone of all the things i really wanted to do, but couldn't bring myself to do. It was mostly simple stuff, like checking out new cafés or stores or parks i'd never been to in my city. And now I look at that list, almost 2 years later and just about everything is crossed off. It reminds me that I am living even when i dont feel like i am, and that i do have the strength to get out and see the things i want to see. I can't wait for a 'Best Week Ever' vlog from you.

Joanna, You are doing important work sharing your experience. You are helping thousands of us feel less alone in being mentally ill. On top of that, you’re funny and smart and I like you in the parasocial sense I guess, but I truly care and relate deeply to what you’re saying. I get the travel anxiety, the guilt over not being able to go see your partner’s family, the brutal SNRI withdrawal, the cheez-its for dinner, the love for your cat, and the wish that you had ANYTHING other than a mental illness. This got intense. Let me pull back. I got married when I didn’t feel comfortable in my body (and didn’t have a lot of money to spend on a dress) so I went to a seamstress, brought her photos and sketches of a top I knew I’d feel good in, and wore it over a long vintage cotton slip. I wore a massive flower crown and green shoes and it was really fun and easy-feeling. Just saying maybe think outside the box? Anyhoo, sending you parasocial love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Withdrawal is awful. I have medication processing issues so I have to completely withdrawal every time I switch meds (typically people cross taper or supplement with something).

Girl we are definitely birds of a feather 🪶 The way you talked about your anxiety and mental health in general is almost exactly how I feel. The frustration at having to “play it safe” all the time is so real. It makes me so sad and angry and I carry a lot of shame about it. I also always ask the “why did I get mental health issues?” Question all the time too. I also recently came off an SNRI (venlafaxine) during an anxiety episode and I legit thought i was losing my mind. I had vertigo and that delayed slow motion you talked about. I also felt so detached from reality (not like delusions but disassociated) and all I could do was lie still or sleep. It was horrendous and I never ever want to do it. Why the hell my GP said I could come off then in 4 days (able was putting me on to another drug) I’ll never know. Idiot. And another thing - I also get perioral dermatitis regularly and like you I also have a flare up and am on doxecyline right now. Nothing else works. It’s a joke and I’m low key concerned about becoming resistant to them and then wtf am I going to do?!? Do you find that you get your flare ups with your anxiety/distress is worse? I definitely do and I’m convinced it’s related to cortisol levels as women in general are more prone to it as they think it’s hormonally linked. Anyway. I just thought I’d add some love from a kindred spirit across the Atlantic - maybe it will make you feel less Alone to know you’re not the only one. ❤
