Such a lovely message 💕

Hi Iris, whenever I feel anxious I see it as a sign from the universe that I'm taking life too seriously. In the end, we all are the universe experiencing itself. So I just laugh, scream, or dance it away. Life doesn't need to be that heavy x

I always think that, if we feel anxious, there is not always an obvious reason that we can see. It‘s just part of living. I find that , if you can be so sure of a stable relationship, and can rely on the other person to be a constant in your life, then usually, these negative feelings will disappear.

I'd love to hear more about the topic of anxiety from you Iris cause I feel like so many of us struggle with it nowadays. Proud of you for opening up and I know it's not really easy to talk about sth when you're currently going through it. Funny thing I also talked a bit about anxiety in the video I uploaded today...I can relate 💕✨️ I've been LOVING checking pinterest lately, it is really healthy, positive and inspiring!

[@iriswellen]

thank u so much poppy 💓 much love for u

[@kellymabel3576]

Iris, you are so relatable and instantly my favorite KZbin channel. I felt so seen in one of your previous videos where you expressed fatigue in the afternoon and took a nap I had to subscribe. Sharing your struggles with anxiety (and also doing your nails😅) is my life. You help me feel less alone and normal. ❤

[@iriswellen]

ahhh o my god thank you so much!! it means the world and you are NEVER alone!! sending u much love xx

[@samarbenabdekrim6508]

you are so sweetie and I want to say to you that last days ago I watched u vlogs bc make me feel so excited, so these days make us more aware of ourselves and we try to get ourselves out of any situation we are going through it is a terrible feeling, but since we love this life and we have important things in our lives and crazy and wonderful details, we can overcome anything, and you have very beautiful things that will always be your support, my sweetie 🙏🏻🤍

[@chaaaargh]

as someone who struggles with anxiety as well and is still not entirely sure how to cope with it, i love this video. and it's not easy to talk about these things so im grateful that you felt comfortable enough to share. would definitely love to see more on the topic of anxiety. hope you're feeling a bit better

[@kristinaarsenic5842]

Are we the same person? At the beginning you said you drink matcha when you’re anxious, apartment being a representation of your mind, ginny and georgia, also the obsession with interior design 😆 so random but funny. i hope you’re feeling better 💕

[@iriswellen]

hahah aww i love that!!!❤️

[@feaila_kt]

Thank you so much for opening up about this... As someone who's struggling with depression and anxiety myself, I really appreciate it, and I think it's so important to have a reminder every now and then that it's okay to have days like this, that it's okay to take it slow and take care of yourself. Your videos really help and inspire me to take better care of myself. Thank you. ❤

[@ruebennomura9143]

You are a good person to be honest on yourself

[@irisberdine]

Ohhhh, thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏻 The thought that I’m not alone in this, despite I wish you to feel better soon, helps me to calm down my own anxiety. We are all in this together. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️

[@hsoderberg6505]

Yesterday I was in a state of high anxiety. I couldn't focus on anything, couldn't keep a thought in my head, tried to do some tasks and would put a needed item down & forget where I put it. I was glad last night when I was finally able to fall asleep.

[@iriswellen]

ugh i'm so sorry you felt that way :( it's the worst... sending u much love and hope you feel better soon!❤

[@luizmsilvei]

Iris, você continua com suas práticas de atividades saudáveis. Felicidades! Até

[@iriswellen]

❤️❤️❤️ de bank is van loods 5 xx

[@helenfuf5028]

so many things you are speaking about reflect in me. Thank you for sharing. I used to have a lot of anxieties earlier but I somehow managed to fight them one by one. Now it can happen on some particular reasons. But mostly I would say, it is hard to collect myself.For example, when I dont have work, as it is now, I feel really bad and I can not enjoy life because I am afraid not to be able to find a job. It triggers me and destroys and I am like falling upart.I try to fight this feeling too but still don't know how.I wonder if you could trace what could be the direct reason of your feeling?The trigger? Is it when you stay alone or after some happenings? I think the actions you do to calm yourself really help,like sports, house chores etc. I've recently started to enjoy put clothes to dry on the rope, who knows why?) I think we are weird)))) I also learned from you some medidative things by your videos, as enjoy your daily routine food preparation, tasting it, skin routine. it really helps. Thnak you!Though,I also think from time to time that it would be good to have a therapist with whom you can speak about all this, because I also like to analyse a lot and discuss it. Have you thought about it?

[@iriswellen]

for sure as i'm getting older i'm learning more about the things that trigger me and how to deal with my anxiety! also i don't think we are weird we are just enjoying the little things in life heheh❤

[@oliwiakutyba108]

Anxiety comes from fears,we all have them - try to sit with them,accept them,change your habbits and be patience during that wave of change

[@iriswellen]

yes so true and beautifully said ❤

[@mochiandco.]

Your apartment looks so cosy and homey!! I also struggle with anxiety as of late because of school and exam season. I'm currently in my last bachelor year and I am already stressing about my masters degree next year... Watching your videos is so calming and relaxing to me and it helps me pull myself out of this bad headspace. ✨🤍

[@iriswellen]

agh school stress is the worst… but it’ll all be better! it’s part of the experience i guess haha… sending u so much love ❤️
