ballerina day in the life

[@Trinitymaracle44]

It makes me so sad to see that you’re struggling so much with anxiety again :,( I’ve been watching you for years and one of the huge reasons I’ve continued to support you is because you are so honestly about your mental health. Your content is always so fun to watch and it’s really inspiring to see everything you have been accomplishing. You’re a rockstar and never give up on the best parts of life when obstacles are standing in the way! I love you and sincerely hope that you can find peace in the little things that keep you grounded 💗

[@shawty2617]

This comment took my breath. I literally think exactly the same way as you. We obviously need more people like you or Luna. Love you guys and just do every obstacle step by step. Keep calm and do the best you can. :)

[@lisabrattoli4283]

Beautiful! I started taking ballet last year at the ripe old age of 53. Im also taking a pre-pointe class. Im hoping to be able to go en pointe when Im ready.

[@lizzooooo]

I highly recommend listening to music with headphones while you’re out shopping babe

[@yvonneretegi]

I've had such a rough day and then this has come out, it felt like a sign to let me know everything would be just fine. I've been following you for years, and somehow your content never fails to make me feel comforted and safe. Keep it up Luna, I'm very proud of you💗🥺

[@ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΑΛΑΓΙΟΥ-τ7ε]

Amazing that you showed us your ballet moves and their names ! So educating!!! Also this was such a relaxing and cozy vlog!! Hope your anxiety decreases and all goes well !! Love and support !!!!

[@ivanasalgado5354]

I will hear you for hours and hours in that chair with that beautiful landscape. It feels like a chat with your best friend but also like a podcast. Love you

[@justlxsa3572]

Getting away from my mobile phone and social media consistently definetly helped my anxiety/ panic attacks. Also knowing that I fear the fear& that that is worse than the actual fear itself helped& skills I learned in cognitive behavioral therapy!! Also distancing myself from news (that are negative) online and being in nature

[@imchristinac]

Something small that I’ve noticed that helps my anxiety is switching to decaf coffee. I never thought caffeine had that much of an effect on me but I cut coffee out for a few months and when I started drinking coffee again the panic attacks were wildddd. It might be something small you could try!

[@jeedscuppatea5595]

I couldn't agree more! even if I don't drink coffee, I love tea but when I find myself stressed I need to pass on it

[@elenajoseph6630]

@@jeedscuppatea5595 in addition to drinking tea, since Luna is such a planner, I would also say adding a wellness journal to her daily routine. That helped my anxiety a lot. Also sleeping with a weighted blanket

[@jeedscuppatea5595]

@@elenajoseph6630 oh yass the blanket is such a saver!

[@Bibblesupremacy1992]

Decaf coffee cans to get the bad effects like normal coffee

This!! Coffee or even too much tea makes me jittery and almost in a full state of distress sometimes

[@ana_yay]

Luna when you dance it is so....graceful and beautiful and honestly so tranquil. Never stop dancing!

[@zosiazosia2137]

i love ur vlogs. theyre so calm. its only u and ur reflection. we can see ur love for ballet now. even if u feel like u dont love it, u come back to it later. and its absolutely okay. everyone needs breaks so they can come back stronger. ure the best luna. u show the reality of being an influencer, u show that not everything is perfect, even when ure a celebrity. ure my biggest inspiration, thank u for being who u are.

[@emma.l]

this video hit hard, i havent been in the studio since april because of anxiety. miss ballet so much but honestly scared to find out how much progress ive lost. hope you feel better luna, thank you for sharing with us

[@jayz6912]

ive also been dealing with the same sporadic rashes/flares, my doctors couldn’t pin point what was causing it; but it came down to my anxiety. for the past few weeks i haven’t had an appetite either, and honestly i cant help but associate that with being skinny. i lost 10 pounds and for some reason i see that as my silver lining in my depression. idk why ive been dealing with this or when it will end, but hope it fades fast for us. good luck Luna!

[@mirandaqiao1036]

it's so good seeing you in your element again Luna. you are vibrant, calming, bright, confident and I'm so happy to have found you on youtube!!

[@rebeccanewman8391]

the music you use is so calming, it's always a good healthy experience to watch ur videos 🥰

[@meaganmortenson8863]

I subscribed to you years ago because of your ballet content. It seemed so refreshing from the everyday LA girl. I think dancing more and doing the things you love will keep you grounded and help bring peace in your life.

[@ssgissemann1458]

Your videos… they just give me a whole different calmness in my soul. I cant explain it, but it is so nice to just shut down all thougts and chill with you for a bit. Thank you so much for making content, and also being so honest, so No one ever has to feel alone with their feelings❤️

[@LizBissonette]

I've noticed that when my anxiety is bad it fucks up my appetite too, but then I feel so much worse when I don't eat. Make little reminders in your phone to have snacks! Also the fluorescent lighting in stores like Target fucks me up. My therapist said it's apparently common with anxiety

[@tilda8990]

Honestly I feel the same I’ve been so anxious and nervous about honestly nothing and I mean my eating patterns have been off as well and I love food but I have zero appetite and I’m just trying to get back to some what normal. We’ll get through this I know it. Sending love always 👏🏽💓even writing this is relieving me of some anxiety. Knowing that someone I look up to is going through a similar situation

[@BoolilyT]

me too, it's weird how it comes and goes sometimes with no reason. Sending hugs :)

[@zeze1257]

literally same, i hope that you feel better soon

[@lydiacoffey2003]

I’ve had the worst anxiety starting a new job, moved to a new city (coming from a small town), started university. The medication I was on really bothered me so my best remedy I’ve come up with is milk thistle and CBD oil. Something about this combination helps me with my health issues as well. As a type one diabetic with liver and kidney issues it is a lot easier on my body then Prozac.

[@foulballfanatic5075]

You gave me goosebumps just watching you dance. Your so graceful and strong. Beautiful technique. I love watching your videos💕

[@luluognam]

when Luna dances, she's so gorgeous and graceful and beautiful and STRONG. wow. amazing. proud of u luna

[@xFolkmore]

Hey Luna! I’ve had crippling anxiety my whole life and here are some things that have helped me: 1) DBT skills. Omg i can swear by DBT. it’s basically a set of skills to emotionally regulate. Regulating throughout the day is super important, not just when you’re in distress 2) Take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating properly etc. these affect you way more than you probably think I know you said you were on meds before and are looking for more natural ways. I feel like meds help but they don’t fix the problem, you still need to do the skills. It could be useful to consider meds if you’re really struggling in conjunction with the other stuff

[@tarowaffles]

I definitely agree that meds are a great tool to help you build up those skills and be able to focus on basic needs like eating and sleeping. I feel like with so many issues whirling around in my head at the same time, it definitely helps to have that bit of support.

[@xFolkmore]

@@tarowaffles i really feel like meds help take the edge off! they don’t fix everything but they just generally make you feel a little lighter

[@samanthaf9224]

Honestly Luna I’ve been feeling the same having the worst anxiety and I just cannot control it. It’s so refreshing to hear someone else talk about it. So thank you for that comfort I hope both of us and anyone else will feel better soon 💓

[@emmagil3780]

I love your content, your vibe, your style and fashion, your honesty 💖

[@melbelladona]

I’m in my mid 20’s and adulthood, being single, independent can be lonely and anxious at times. I’ve recovered from anorexia long time ago but I can understand the nerves and stress that relate to food or meals. Self-care is the way to always go!

[@priscilagm8329]

Some things that have helped me for anxiety is: no caffeine, journaling and movement in the mornings, whole food meals, taking care of your gut, right down triggers but don’t avoid them just recognize them and magnesium:) I still struggle here and there but that has helped

[@BoolilyT]

you really are my comfort KZbinr and personality

Even though I have 0 dancing experience I love your videos , they’re so comfy and calming 🤍

[@oiivio3]

I’ve also been quite anxious and upset lately due to peer pressure at school & I’ve had a few breakdowns bc I’m struggling with some identity crisis :) Also I experienced the same feeling you had with ballet (me with my instrument), I’m glad to see that you’re trying to find a solution of anxiety and I’m sure everything will be better for you Luna. Thank you for being so open about your mental health and your video helped calm me down a lot 💕

[@ohhmangos]

Recently discovered your channel. It has been 3 years since I quit ballet due to rising anxiety and concern for my weight, among other things. You reminded me of why I love ballet, why I always will, and have inspired me to keep my skills up on my own for my enjoyment. Thank you!

[@elenajoseph6630]

I love your content so much Luna! You are definitely glowing and I can tell you are your best self right now and that makes me so happy for you ✨🥰🥹🙌💕

[@maggie7099]

I definitely relate to your anxiety!!! I'm also currently dealing with some really bad anxiety right now due to past trauma and it sucks so bad. Just know that we are here to support you!! You are not going through this alone. I would highly recommend doing some grounding meditations (on youtube) as well as some somatic exercises to help calm your nervous system. Dissociation can be very scary and alarming, so it's important to learn how to ground yourself during those episodes!!

[@ece6534]

Im also in that type of situation atm.Take time to better yourself and do stuff that you did when you were the happiest.Accept that you could be going through different stuff.Spend time with the people you love.Dont force feelings (I used to force myself to be happy and when i just let life do its thing on its own I felt more like myself. Usually people are so focused on themselves that they dont look at others so dont hide youself. ilysm :)

[@clara8793]

Oh my god what you are describing with the anxiety attacks and food is literally what I have been going through recently. Thank, thank you for sharing cause I felt like I was the only one. Out of nowhere in the last month I have felt so so anxious and it's becoming debilitating. I also don't eat as much (and have the same thoughts about it as well b/c I have also dealt with issues with body image and food). For me, so far, what has been helping is doing things to get myself out of my head like being with friends, journaling, therapy, and working out. But thank you again for sharing. It makes me feel better knowing someone else is also struggling with this

[@renattaverau2483]

Seeing your videos is like taking to a friend. Thanks for sharing Luna and I hope you’re doing better!🌸

[@shannon9377]

your videos actually cure my depression lmao also i am so sorry you are dealing with anxiety hopefully it gets better and i love your videos luna

[@mathildepapon6591]

while hearing this breaks my heart because you deserve the world and shouldn't feel so anxious and down all the time, but i just wanted to say THANK YOU for being honest and not overlooking the harder parts of life. It just makes us feel less alone and ok with the fact that things aren't always going to be amazing. Also as someone who is struggling with the idea of recovery and weights gain, its so therapeutic and healing to hear you talk about your issues, and how they're no longer at the forefront on your mind 24/7

Hey Luna, it is always so good to see you dancing, you have such lovely lines 😍 and a beautiful and powerful energy ! I hope you will always find joy in it. I am 63 and go to ballet classes several times a week, work allowing - sometimes I stop for months or years and then I start again. I think I can relate to your anxiety 🙏🏼 but I hope you will always find joy in your dance 💙🎶🕊🌈🧚🏼 I also found that drinking decaf coffee (I love coffee) and deep slow breathing helps to calm my worries

[@lauracolleen]

Sending much love and calm your way. I hope the anxiety will go down soon ❤

[@granolalish]

I have the same journey/timeline and physical symptoms from anxiety as you. You are not alone. I've found the following things help: drinking water, lion's breath exercises (with phone reminders do it every 2 hours throughout the day), naps outside, and cold things on my skin (cold air from my car, ice cubes, etc). I hope you find something that helps you! ❤

[@Dalinetje]

Hi Luna! First of all love your dancing videos, second of all: venlafaxine really changed my life. I had really bad anxiety attacks, to the point where I felt I couldn't function at all. Tried venlafaxine (the lowest dose) and really felt a huge difference within a couple of hours. Two weeks of quite horrible side effects, but after that it stabilized, and now I have no side effects at all. Been taking it for a year, still the lowest dose, and honestly, it has changed my life SO much. I haven't had any of my old anxiety again. Most of all it has changed the way I think about myself. My anxiety made me think so low on myself, and it saddens me how many years I have lived like that. With medication, it appeared to me that whenever I look in the mirror now, I think: hey queen! instead of: see, I'm ugly, I have to hide. Wanted to share my experience and saying that I really recommend this type of medication for anxiety. Before this I have tried literally any natural remedy but venlafaxine was the game changer for me.

[@lydiacoffey2003]

AHHH Luna I love you!! As a child from a principle ballerina, dance is so inspiring and is what makes me…me. Today was my first day doing dance classes at my university 🥳 thank you for inspiring!! Love from Canada.

[@May-ej9ej]

Music helps a lot for me, or drawing (especially Mandalas), wearing rings on at least three fingers so I can play with them or humming (hope thats the right word) while placing a hand on my chest. Some of these methodes are not for on the go, I especially feel anxious in trains or busses thats why I mention drawing. The rings are helping me at least a bit to prevent biting my nails. I also have panic attacks and for that I have lavender pills bc I also like natural active ingredients. Depends on how heavy the attacks are, but for the softer ones it really helps on a daily basis. Take care everyone! And stay strong Luna

[@bellasylvester6217]

Hey Luna, I know that validation from others is not, and shouldn’t be, a priority. But I just want to say your adage is so beautiful, we get so stuck on what we wish we could dance like, but from an outside point of view, your natural fluidity is so wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing your struggles, I pray that you will find peace ❤️

[@chocofruits1534]

Literally just finished my class and I wasn’t feeling it… so I decided to watch this video (that I was keeping for a moment like this) and I’m feeling so much better☺ So thank you for reminding us that we have to be gentle and considerate with ourselves 😌🙌🫶

[@seianajohana]

i have been experiencing this EXACT same thing! i was prescribed medication but i have opted not to take them, so that it doesn’t become a dependent. i have found that chamomile tea helps a lot, taking five minutes to either cry, scream, or breathe it out, and music! not to sure if you’re into aromatherapy, but certain shops make a blend of oils in a nasal vapor stick form just for anxiety/panic attacks. my best friend has one and she says it works and has helped.

[@kimberlyhrncir1934]

I think you are such an awesome inspiration to women and girls of all ages....dancers or not. You are so honest when it comes to your mental health struggles. I appreciate that so much bc I feel like I have to hide mine. I take a lot of meds everyday and have since my youngest was a baby. For a time I was honest about mental health and then it was turned around and used against me at a job. So now I don't mention it unless I absolutely have to. Thank you for all your videos, honesty and fresh ways to deal with life. I wish I could have danced bc I believe it would've been something I excelled at. I dream of attending an adult ballet class and going up en pointe!!! Please take good care of yourself and I'm looking forward to watching your next video!!! Much love and peace to you...

[@patrickpkpiquesmith7511]

I love your content! I find you very relatable and admire your perseverance 😁. So sorry to hear of your struggles with anxiety yet find it refreshing that you communicate it in a way that will help others. I have found my anxiety [personally] was related to consumption of certain proteins. After suffering with painful experiences such as gout (😖) I had to re-examine everything about my diet. But I did consciously witness anxiety subside. Much love!

Hi Luna, I’m a adult ballet dancer and when I’m felling like I’m not having a good day in the studio or in class I just move away from the mirrors, seeing myself just adds tons to my mind. Maybe dancing backwards to mirror can help u a little. Felling the music e felling the movement instead of looking at the mirrors help to remember that I dance because a love it, and that’s all that really meters.

[@NeverlandSystemKitten]

Your hair is gorgeous! I love it!

[@alyssaswanson2402]

The EXACT same skin thing has been happening to me too for the past few years. I struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks as well and the only thing my doctors can think of is that it’s a stress response! I remember you posting about how your skin peels on your hands on your Instagram story and I was so shocked that someone else is experiencing the same skin thing that I have been. I also get patches on my face, and the skin around my eyes have swollen and flaked like crazy for weeks at a time when it flares up. So far the only thing that helps the flare up is hydrocortisone cream, but I find if I keep my entire body super moisturized every single day, the flare ups are less severe!!

CBD is pretty helpful for my anxiety. They have specific capsules but they also have a tea at some stores

[@samanthab8222]

Sleep/exercise/eating routines are sooo important when it comes to mental health. Regular eating to keep your blood sugar regular is crucial when dealing with anxiety. Look up the studies with intermittent fasting-especially in women it raises cortisol levels which adds to stress and anxiety. Even if it is just a little bit, make sure to eat in the AM and eat regularly throughout the day. It changes how I’m feeling immediately and you can find yourself in a rut if you haven’t been treating your body well. That alone changed my anxiety so much. I had to dial back caffeine by a huge amount. I only drink tea now, I know for coffee drinkers that can be hard but you can make yummy tea lattes too! I take magnesium supplements at night and it seems to help me. Not sure if that is placebo or what! You aren’t alone and I have the same thing with being in stores, it started happening after Covid and I hear so many people struggling with sensory overload in stores. You aren’t alone!

[@_bebeboudeur_]

I agree with the routine, I was feeling much better when I could go to uni everyday. A nurse in high school told me to take magnesium supplements because I was feeling feeverish (which is usually how my panics attacks start), I've never done it but I feel like it should indeed help. Some supermarkets have quiet hours especially for people with sensory overloads, they started doing it in France at least.
