[@TheForestCrone]

It's hard for people to realize how difficult a chronic illness can be to manage daily, while continuing to actually have a productive, happy life. I have an autoimmune cluster and recently realized I spend up to 2 hours a day just with maintenance of my body. Stretching, physical therapy exercises, managing medications and supplements, managing diet and weight minute by minute, recovering from surgeries, etc. It's a LOT. When my health is my priority, I do better. But I resent this. I resent having to think of my health first and foremost in every single thing I do. Please keep your chin up! Meditation has helped me enormously. It's trained my brain to be able to find that place of peace. Not just during meditation, but in the moment. Thank you for sharing!

[@Kaelpie1]

Definitely, meditation has opened my eyes and calmed my anxiety. And herbal medicine is helping me a lot too.

[@pennysmith3803]

I feel you totally. I have a disability that occurred from a brain injury. My life was turned upside down and I have become quite reclusive as a result and bed bound daily for long periods through pathological fatigue. I resent it too. It dominates my whole life. Meditation has been a game changer for me too. Wishing you both the best

[@pennysmith3803]

I’m so sorry to hear about your condition it’s such a debilitating condition to live with

[@beckykueng3017]

I can TOTALLY relate!! One of the hardest parts of having chronic illnesses is that MOST people including family do not understand how hard it is or how VERY much it controls your life. IT's depressing and creates an anger that just makes things worse but the cycle is hard to break when you see your friends and family living happy, productive and fun lives. I know just how you feel !

[@Sam-mh4sb]

I litterally just slept 4 days and I feel so lazy but I don't always have a choice. I'm struggling right now with my joints just partially dislocating and my menatl health is shot and my needed meds for ADHD not readily available. I need to push doctors to actually asses me for connective tissue issues, but I come from a history of medical neglect and I'm terrified of the costs of everything and having parents pushing me to start working again when I don't know if I can afford to and loose state insurance. And their concern is my weight, even though being overweight is tied to health issues and EDs. It's exhausting on such a deeply, unexpressable level. Even with a group of friends who are also disabled and my strogest support and brutally honest when they see me struggling and denying it. I can't do the things I used to love and some of them will forever be out of reach. Apparently I need a cry today.

[@mary-kathrynharrison7098]

"See people living lives that they loved while still accommodating the bodies that they had," is very powerful. Thank you for saying/writing/being.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Came here to say this. LOVED.

[@susanthompson5142]

Thank you for sharing your health update Annie. I have followed you from Day One, so I am aware of your health struggles. I think sharing what you have been dealing with , is really important. There are so many people struggling with a variety of health issues, whether it be physical or mental or a combination of both. Seeing a "picture perfect" life presented all the time, is not realistic and can do more harm than good. I have always admired and respected you for being open and honest when you are faced with difficult situations. It's refreshing to see honesty and openness on the internet instead of "perfection". I just wanted to thank you Annie, you are an amazing Soul, talented, inspirational and incredibly passionate about the Life you were given. Your curiosity, your thirst for knowledge and your ability to share it through your Platform is truly a gift. Sending best wishes your way. Keep being YOU Annie, you're a bright light !! 🌿🌺🌻🍃

[@Destiny07180]

I too have been following her for a long time and know of this issues she’s dealt with. I also agree that sharing is important because it may help someone else. I think one of the big issues with social media is the portrayal of that perfect life and no one has that. Being open and honest is helpful for others who have same or similar situations and knowing your not alone.

[@pamsloan4333]

Some days are extremely hard for those of us who deal with our own struggles in addition to taking care of a loved one with health issues. You are so inspirational to us! Your dogs are beautiful and your vlogs are beautiful! Landscapes, music, herbs…all make me feel better! Thank you! We are going to get through this together! We love y’all!❤️🤗🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️

[@WackyWitchTV]

Leaving Los Angeles was the BEST decision I have ever made for my own health and autoimmune issues. Moving up to the mountains surrounded by nature and her forests is the greatest gift I could give myself. I love all of your dogs talking!

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Some people can’t understand these things!!!! It’s all right here!! No, ripping out all the trees, no hills, too hot, too muggy, can barely go for a ride without someone falling behind me, which don’t matter no mo! No real place to camp, etc., etc!

[@seaofsolace]

We live in a society that shames us for being human. We need rest and maintenance and we are unpredictable. I have a lot of shame around my own disorder. I do not like to talk about it too. I am so sorry you are going through this. TY for sharing. BTW your tattoo is beautiful!

[@PChuu22]

I can't help but think all the stressors in the world are making chronic illnesses worse right now, because I'm a lupus & fibromyalgia patient, and I've been having a really rough year, too. More pain. More exhaustion. More mental fog. I'm so sorry you're struggling, too. :(

[@hearthandhawthorn8578]

Thank you for opening up about this. I have a feeding tube and am a wheelchair user and, despite living in the gorgeous green mountains of Vermont, often feel disconnected from nature because of my health. I miss when my body allowed me to wander the woods at my whims. Thank you for talking about how hard it is to feel so far from the earth because of your body.

[@rewilding_rose]

As a fellow spoonie, I understand how exhausting it can be to manage your health while trying to also be a productive person. Sending healing your way.

[@burymewithabook]

Same. ❤️ Spoonie hugs!

[@DiaryofaWoman1978]

We often have the bad habit to think that some people have it easier than us. We all have our burden in life and it often goes unnoticed.Thank you for your transparency and your vulnerability. I am so sorry you are going through this. I am sending you good vibes and wishing you the best on your healing journey. ❤

[@sacred_devilx]

Some of us witches are disabled and/or chronically ill, so this representation from a much-loved witchy content creator is really, really important and special. I am very grateful you've opened up and shared some of this! Thank you! I personally would love to see a video about foraging or connecting with the one's craft while being sick, because it looks so much different from a position of good health. Sending love and positivity.

[@nrstooge]

As someone with a different chronic illness, I totally understand there are good and bad days - and yes things can turn on a dime. I am thankful for being able to do even small things and have lived alone for 35 years now. I have also learned to listen to my emotions (they affect my physically) and also my body. Not always fun when challenges present themselves, but there is much gratitude and joy for what I can do. Take care of you first and foremost always.

[@bionicbookworm3928]

Fellow EDS gastreoparesis witchy woman here - I felt this in my soul. February started a flare up that caused me to lose 60lbs. Talk about it. Please. It helps us all not feel so alone - and that even a life that looks full of whimsy and wonder is still full of struggle. You’re not being dark or sad, you’re just being human ❤

[@Marallena]

I am someone who suffers from multiple auto-immune issues and chronic illnesses, and just want you to please focus on taking care of yourself and doing what's best for you! So many of us have "invisible" illnesses. It's tiring and hard at times, but if you ever just need to talk or vent, I'm here for you and anyone else who just needs a shoulder! Lots of love! You are not alone!

[@cleopatracarswell]

When I learned that you also have gastroparesis, you have inspired me over the last couple years to continue to go after the things in life that mean so much to me. The flare ups do come out of nowhere, and I'm then forced to wait until it decides to pass. I feel for you, I know that pain. We push forward when we can, but have to know our limitations when to rest. Take care of yourself, sweetheart 💜 thank you for making aware of this disease.

[@britpoppansy]

It's so wild that I decided to watch your video and my literal job is to manage patients' feeding tube supplies. I really hope you don't have to get one placed again. I'm always thrilled when my patient gets that damn thing removed and they can carry on with their lives. I do hope you achieve a full recovery. ❤

[@nonamenojane]

Thank you 🖤 Lupus has been kicking my bass lately so, while I'm very sorry to hear you've been struggling, it's good to know neither of us are alone.

[@scorpion_witch]

I stopped dead in my tracks and got goosebumps when you said gastroparesis. After 8 years of symptoms, in and out of the ER, feeling crazy but knowing I was sick...I was finally diagnosed with gastroparesis this past February. I know first hand how difficult and exhausting this condition is. My heart goes out to you and you definitely made me feel less alone and it brought tears to my eyes. Best wishes to you and thank you for sharing ❤️

[@KSchorrWriter]

I've got Ehler's-Danlos Syndrome and live in the daily avalanche of "Oh what is going on now?" and I have found the skills, and the honesty of your channel are part of my self care. Thank you.

[@karennewbury6430]

Sweet girl...We who follow your channels are here for you. We've always been here for you. Your channels are something I look forward to viewing. Thank you for sharing your struggles thus far. Remember, you are valued, you are loved. Keep the faith. Blessings from Canada.

[@charmeineca]

Chronic health issues can really wear you down. I hope things get better for you soon. I have hEDS and know this all too well - the stomach issues are awful. Take care of yourself and do what you need for your health. Thank you for sharing.

[@burymewithabook]

❤❤❤

[@RebeccaShanks-ch9ku]

I have missed you so much. I'm so sorry you are feeling so poorly. I was afraid that was why we weren't hearing from you. Thank you for sharing. May God Bless.

[@paleblue4659]

So sorry you are having to deal with chronic illness. I don't wish it on anyone. I totally understand your not wanting to devote your channel to it. It's part of your life, but not your life. Or at least that's how I deal with mine. I just put it in the back of my mind every chance I get and try to move forward with living. You have a beautiful life too, and I hope you keep that in mind. All life is hard and beautiful, but yours is grounded in stunning nature all around you. You had that in Virginia, and it follows you! Can't wait to hear more about your life in future videos, and if you want to talk about chronic illness a little, as a component of your life, I am all ears, as I know I'll get a lot out of it. More people are dealing with it these days in our disconnected lives. We must find revolutionary ways to live. Thanks for your work!

[@Lostboirufio-dani]

[@sanjuro66]

Annie please take care of yourself. And if you need to leave youtube to take care of YOU, there needs to be no explanation. Bright blessings!

[@Elianalivinglife]

❤ I have lived 27 years with undiagnosed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, 32 years with an undetected ADHD+Autistic+Highly intelligent brain. It has been a combination that has made me look lazy and stupid, overly sensitive, clumsy, overweight, overeating, bloated. I was always constipated, in pain, brain fog, extremely malnourished, dopamine ADHD overeating, sensory overloaded due to all the pain, and everything else on top of that as an autistic person. Having the knowledge about diseases and brain types, is having the power to take care of oneself, and allow ourselves to accommodate our needs and letting others acknowledge and respect our needs. Taking care of ourselves is making sure we live our life to the fullest, take care of yourself and live your life to the fullest, we only get one life.

[@Kaelpie1]

I feel for you, Anna, I will be praying for you.

[@Shannon77785]

Hi Annabel, I'm so sorry for what you are struggling with. I struggle with chronic illness, and I'm disabled. I have chronic pain from osteoarthritis. I walk with a cane. I have diabetes, and other health issues. Each day is very hard for me. I'm tired of suffering. I feel weak and tired and have very low energy. I have to rest a lot. I have to take prescription medicines and pain pills. Nobody in my family really knows what I'm going through. Life is so hard with chronic illness. I hope you are feeling ok today. ~ Love & God Bless! 🤗🙏✝

[@livcrisp2114]

Thank you for sharing Annabel. We are sending positive, healthful, loving vibes your way. We love your content, both here and on your other channel. We appreciate you. Love from the bottom of the world.❤

[@rhiannon5627]

I also have severe gastroparesis and a feeding tube and have followed you for a long time. You have inspired me to continue fighting and to try to enjoy my life as best I can. It is a brutal disease and I thank you for shining some light on it now as Gastroparesis Awareness month is coming in August. I totally understand not wanting to talk about it on your channel and to have seperation from it here. But in reading the comments, it seems you have quite a few chronically ill followers. Let us support and inspire you as you have inspired us! Keep fighting for your best life. Sending prayers for you that you can find your way through this without needing another tube. But if it should happen, just remember that you are a pro at it, and try to look at it as a means of stabilizing and not having to live with the constant fear of the weight loss. Thank you for opening up! Gastroparesis is increasing rapidly in this country and I pray that tbere will be better treatment or even a cure in your lifetime. Blessings!

[@pamelakimmons9209]

You are a survivor in all things. Survival in most things aren’t instant but a one step at a time process. You are a role model in so many ways. Much love and great intention of success in all things.

[@EFergDindrane]

You're amazing, Annabel! And those foxgloves are STUNNING.

[@tanyaabel1543]

I’m new to your channel and I wanted to say thank you for your honesty. Negotiating life and fluctuating chronic illness is so bloody hard. I would love to hear more about the things you have done that helped you. I know we are all unique, and that my chronic illnesses are very different to yours, but I’m always willing to try new things to see if it helps. Thank you again for sharing, take care.

[@Cinnamon111]

I have connective tissue (MCTD) and (Sjogrens). And I have also been feeling really bad these last 6 months. I've also been pretty stressed. I think I might have gastroparesis but haven't seen a doc about it yet. Thank you for this video. I loved it. ❤

[@lindaduncan2152]

My daughter and I share your diagnosis, so I understand your struggles. I love watching your content as it is always so beautiful and well done. Thank you for sharing what you do. Much love and best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@joewalkowich9870]

Thanks for being open with us. I love your book and we need you to take care of your self!

[@bonsaidanceflow]

Thank you for sharing your journey and being vulnerable. You are amazing and I hope you find healing💓 sending my love

[@michellewolf2659]

❤ I’ve been struggling too. Nice to open KZbin and see the title and know I’m not alone.

[@Seeyalater17]

I’ve got my fair share of health issues too due to high stress levels, Lyme disease, and mold toxicity. Being a domestic violence survivor left me with a weekend immune system and opened up a perfect home for infections. I’m working on this now, planning on leaving my job, getting into travel and nature, and calming my nervous system down. It’s a real struggle and never easy for anyone. Thanks for sharing this. ❤

[@lauraelainedesilets1189]

My friend had terminal EDS with paralysis of her stomach. She made it to about 26. I watched her life from thriving to learning she was sick. She did die. She explained to me how there are many colors of zebras... I have another friend with EDS and a gal on line I watch in Japan... I seem to be understanding in this area. Do what you need to do to sustain your life; feeding tube if you have to.... No one is judging you and if so that's on them. We love you and want the best for your life ❤

[@agnetahallberg9845]

It is frustrating when you not have your health. 😢 You must be kind to yourself ❤

[@quantumyogi6121]

Thank you. Your openness and courage in sharing the ups and downs of your life is inspiring. I’m whooshing you an abundance of healing energy. 💕 ☀️ 🪴

[@herbcraftbyellieapothecary9847]

Sweet Annie, thank you for sharing your story so authentically. I too am a person who has struggled with serious chronic health issues. I am also an advocate for disadvantaged folks. I applaud you for all your strength to carry on and focus on what truly matters. I'm right there with ya, standing strong and embracing the sweet release that creativity through herbalism and spirituality grants people like us. We need good things to look forward to and having that expression is where we find our true power. Sending my 💜 and blessings to you from the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in Northern California. -Ellie

[@soluunaa]

Thank you for your honesty and openness it’s incredibly inspiring as another nature lover with a chronic illness, it can be hard time when systems that once worked no longer work sending you love and light on your journey 🍃

[@jakarta65]

It was nice that you did this video and gave an updare in your condition. Did wonder if the facilities in Seattle could meet your needs the way that Johns Hopkins did.

[@SnowySnowDust]

Hi Annie! I hope you get better ❤

[@SarahEsmaeWolfe]

I remember watching some of your first videos when your channel was very new and you talking about having elhers-danlos syndrome and at that time I have never heard of it. Now I am diagnosed with dysautonomia and am on my way to my own EDS diagnosis after struggling with my own health on and off for over 12 years. As a fellow witch and herbalist with chronic illness, you are an inspiration to me!

[@halfwit2]

Thank you, sincerely for sharing this part of your journey. I had somewhat of a similar experience as a late-diagnosed celiac, with the constant lack of nutrients because my GI tract was ruined for so long. It has gotten better recently, it really changed my life in terms of gut health. But also my mental health, my memory, my mental clarity, my ability to learn, even my confidence in my abilities all improved drastically.

[@mercedes.de.losangeles]

Hi Annabel, I totally get you about how you felt unprepared for being that sick again. I have Lupus, and I have similar ups and downs. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. I do believe it helps others when we share our vulnerabilities. We don't feel so alone. Sending you love.❤🌿

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Oh sweet Annie, my heart reaches out to yours. I also have a long list of body parts that don't work. Please be good to yourself.we will always be here and understand if you aren't well enough to made videos. Be well. Warm hugs!

[@zettie555]

I've had Gastroparesis all my life, didn't find out unil my 30's. I have never had to have a feeding tube but constantly feel full, nausiated and suffer on a daily basis with extreme digestive issues. Now in my late 50's and post menopausal my symptoms have gotten worse due to lowered estrogen levels which regulate infammation in the body. I feel you and hope for each day to give me and others with autoimmune diseases moments of joy to hang onto and find solace in whatever works for each person.

[@rachellatour961]

From what we can see, you have been very brave and more alive than most people, despite your chronic health problems. You don't seem to define yourself by your illness, and that's key to a happier life. The videography in this video is stunningly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your bravery, your love of life, and these images of you in beautiful places.

[@krystina7488]

Thank you for sharing. I wish you well!

[@ruebennomura9143]

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[@judyu9116]

Thank you for sharing your health challenges. It makes me feel more friendship with you-to the extent of me tuning in. I love your content and that you welcome all of us into your world! You have so much to share and thank you for opening up. You are strong and brave, but remember, we all admire you, my friend!❤

[@nairbvel]

The human body is astonishing in its ability to continue functioning in spite of major damage and also its ability to utterly fail when the smallest of things goes wrong. We are, physically, a collection of equilibria trying desperately to remain in equilibrium with each other. Your health is your business, to be shared -- or not! -- to the degree you feel appropriate. I truly appreciate your openness, and as far as I'm concerned you have nothing to apologize for. I'll also go out on a limb a bit and posit that all the stress related to house-hunting did your body no real good and likely played a role in your flare-up. Wishing you peace, good health... and many years away from G-tubes and similar devices. :-)

[@tylerreanne01]

I’m so sorry that you’ve been so ill 😞 chronic illnesses are so unpredictable! I have Crohn’s disease and the instability of it is the absolute worst 😔 sending healing thoughts your way ❤

You are an inspiration. Thank you.

[@bensonproperties56]

Oh, honey! My heart goes out to you. My son has a similar condition and even though I’ve been there by his side through some very trying times, I can’t imagine what he goes through. Just keep going with your beautiful video posts and know that we all are sending love and healing thoughts your way. Take the time you need to care for yourself. Nothing is more important than that.

Yarrow is supposed to ward off mosquitoes! I made a concoction with it, which skeeters typically do not bother me, so gave it to someone else who said it worked well well!

I also have gastroparesis and EDS. I totally understand how you feel. I'm going through a rough patch as well. I'm actually having a procedure done tomorrow morning. This chronic illness is the absolute worst.

[@paintutor]

Glad you are feeling in a good place to be able to share your life with us. I always enjoy the calmness of your videos. Thank you.

[@bethanymarie2376]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@heatherstrachan107]

Been with you since before you moved cross country. Self care is often something that gets pushed aside as all the other priorities move to the forefront. I'm glad that you're starting to feel a bit better. As someone who has a chronic health issue I've had to realize it's a marathon, not a race. Take care, btw love the tattoo!

[@ClairePidoux]

Hi Annie, as someone who has EDS and many other conditions I deeply empathise with your position. I am trained in Eden Energy Medicine and use many energy interventions each day to help manage these conditions - amongst them I sometimes use acupressure point ST36 and Stomach alarm point cv12. There is research for these points with regard to gastroparesis. Don't just take my word for it though, maybe consider looking in to the research yourself. One of my big weaknesses with EDS etc is Laryngopharyngeal reflux which creates nausea and many other symptoms and I find working with energy can bring big shifts in the energy body and physical body very quickly. All the best with your health going forward. with love cx

[@KanialeiKanialei-b2t]

You're such a lovely person. I suddenly had heart failure a couple years ago and I too had the feeling of being watched as if something was following me around. A very dark presence. I lost my health and was bedridden, unable to breathe. It didn't go away fully until I recited Catholic Exorcism prayers for the Laity. They were demons. Maybe this could help?

[@notonlyhuman]

Life is light and dark, and all shades in between. Which means we are as well. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing some of your lesser seen shades.

[@TJLubrano]

I can only imagine how challenging it is to talk about it, but the little bits you can share will no doubt help so many other lovelies to be more open about their own health journey as well ♥️😊 Sending you lots of love and healing vibes ♥️✨

[@christianavance9124]

I was thinking about your health recently. I noticed how long and healthy your hair has been looking and hoped it was an indicator of your overall health.i also know how hard it is to maintain a healthy weight. I have both genetic issues with weight and have experienced dramatic weight changes like a roller coaster from an auto immune condition. I have a coworker who has only recently been able to gain 10 lbs and maintain it because our job is such a safe and healthy environment, prior to that she was at a very toxic workplace that made her medical issues much worse. I really hope things continue to improve for you, more time with those who you love and who love you might be a good prescription

[@user-uw1zh5uq4k]

Ive been watching you since the beginning I think lol. I love you and am sending you so many hugs and good thoughts and healing energy. You got this! As a fellow artist, I am very grateful for your openness and honesty and bravery! Dealing with health issues is scary and so so difficult. Self care is of utmost importance, even though we don’t always want to talk about it or even admit that we are having problems. I’m with you!

[@kanjimatsunaga8580]

I’m praying for you . I wish there was something I could do 🩵🪷🌸you help us all with your videos and we are all grateful for you thank you

[@candynkeith]

Thank you for sharing. I have been very concerned about your health. Especially with all the stress lately with trying to find a place to live. I have noticed a difference in you and your practice. So I am happy you decided to clue us all in. We all care very deeply for you and we are all concerned. I pray it gets better and stays that way. Having health problems myself I know how you feel about keeping it quiet. But when you are feeling poorly let us know. We will understand. And those who don’t are not worthy about their opinion. Take time if you need to. Just let us know. I am sure most of us will be very understanding. I wish the best for you. Your health is more important than anything.

[@Rx7Kiralyno]

As someone with Autoimmune issues, learning herbalism & holistic health has helped me so much. im currently in school for it and im seeing a holistic specialist to help me with all of it. i hope you get the help & recieve the care you need to be able to live a happy & healthy stress free life.

We’re all rooting for you and I’m proud of you for prioritizing caring for yourself and I’m so glad that things are improving 💛 Ps: I remember you talked about your ring splints in a q and a years ago. You were the first content creator I found who talked about EDS and it was so powerful to hear you talk about it

I am hoping that easier days are ahead for you! Have watched your channel for years and have always loved your videography! you are so talented! My husband has a saying that he has repeated for years, Everyone has something. We all have our own challenges. Our family has a rare kind of cancer that we have to have monitored annually. It has taken many lives over the years before it was actually "found" it was named after the two doctors that found what it was. anyway, long story short! everyone has challenges, whether they are health related or whatever we all struggle in our own way, and it is helpful when we can find like-minded people!

Get healthy soon. Have a awesome day!😊

[@angelamurphy3331]

My youngest teen has I think hEDS so I understand your struggles. I had seen your ring splints in other videos so had wondered if you had EDS. Glad things are improving, hope you get back to managing it well ❤

I hope your undulating health can stabilize for as long as possible. I couldn't imagine fighting my own body every single day. I found your channel back in early-mid 2020. At that time, I was at the lowest state of my life, I was stuck in Africa (military) and my best friend had just taken his own life. I had zero support from the assholes I was out there with, and I was trapped there for months. Anyways, I apologize if my comments then seemed to be a drain. You had your own struggles, serious struggles, and I shouldn't have tried to levy my suffering onto your comments. I have been much better since then, and I hope they improve for you soon. Permanently.
