Facts

[@BeccaFilipski]

It feels good that I’m not the only one that’s been feeling weird lately. But I was also on my time of the month too and I always very hormonal and emotional before and after my period. Thank you for reminding me to just take it easy on myself and that it’s okay to feel this way. Love you Jess!💛

[@jacolinehayes8432]

Literally same!!

[@JessConte]

we are in this togetherrrrr 🥲💛

[@jemima2905]

Sameee!! And I think it’s so crazy that jess is posting this just now… like exactly when I feel this way

[@alissay98]

Sooo many people in my life says they feel off... including myself. It's so sad to see but it always helps to know others relate to you as well.

[@IsabelleMarot]

Same here!!

[@maraepps1145]

I love how you openly share your struggles with us. We all struggle with things and we understand that yall struggle with things too. I've been struggling with alot of things that you talked abt in the video and now I don't feel so alone. Thank you for alway being you and sharing your life with us

[@elinan2396]

Jess: "If you guys have a comfort show, just put on an episode", Me turning on jess's video bc her videos brighten up my days when im feeling off

[@elsemiekevanzuijlen7481]

I feel less alone after watching this, I've also been feeling down lately. Thank you Jess, stay close to God, he knows our suffering! ♥️

[@JessConte]

aw this is so sweet 🥺 hope you’re feeling good today 💛

[@juliajoseph8146]

thank you sooo much for being so open about what’s going on in your life, makes me feel like talking to my best friend 🥰

[@JustJill]

Wishing she was my bf ❤️

[@JessConte]

we are all besties here 👯‍♀️

[@juliajoseph8146]

@@JessConte yes we are!!! 🥰

[@juliajoseph8146]

@ethereal flower yesss!!! 🥰 i wish i could meet her someday too 🥰

[@alliceson6464]

Loved seeing this. As a college student I relate. I'm constantly unmotivated and tired when I'm usually happy most times.

[@sarahfraser5491]

I love all of your positivity stuff and your productivity vlogs, but we’re all human going through the same wave of emotions daily. It’s so nice to see this part of you and your life, to know you also feel it and allow yourself to feel it. Thank you for always being honest, it makes it easier to relate to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sophie-bales]

this video encompassed everything that i've been feeling for the past little while. wow. thank you, jess. love and appreciate you & sending warm hugs / thoughts your way.

[@francescada1671]

You being honest doesn’t take away your positivity - it actually opens up a space for us to relate with you and help us view our situations from a new perspective:) so thank you so much for being open! :))) I appreciate you

[@michellereeves8190]

This vlog meant really a lot to me, it's so comforting to know that other people are also struggling to sleep at night. So thank you Jess for this video! It's comforting to know that I'm not alone and God will give me enough strength each day.

[@linabrooks4205]

The fact that for about a week I’ve been feeling like this and you posted this! Thank you for always being so sincere with us, this video made me feel a little better thank you

[@tamaraneu]

So happy to know that I'm not the only one needing these kind of days to relax. Makes me not feel guilty for not being productive and taking some time off. Thank you ❤

[@amyross2880]

Love you jess!! Thank you so much for all your great videos and how open you are. Praying for you!

[@beatrizporto3234]

Hey Jess hope you feeling better today, it´s normal to feel weird sometimes. Hope everything is ok with you and Gabe, you guys are amazing and blessed people.Sending lots of positivity and hapiness,Love you. God Bless you and Gabe💛

[@brinelledmello2215]

Honestly the past few days even I've been feeling kind of the same, I've been feeling really anxious and I don't know why so your video really helped me, Thanks a lot ☺

[@misbahismail6241]

Hopefully the holiday season Christmas will bring happiness hope you’ll feel better soon love you Jess❤️✨

[@chloeclements7669]

Definitely recommend yoga if you’re feeling anxious and having trouble sleeping. Stretching before bed helps you sleep, and yoga is naturally calming and good for meditating so it really helps me unwind and gather myself. I’ve been doing some of the videos on Mady Morrison’s KZbin and they’ve been so helpful, definitely recommend it!

[@dinagamal2515]

This is exactly how I've been feeling - and I don't mean to come off as rude, but it is reassuring to see that I'm not the only one who is feeling this way - in a way its comforting. Really enjoyed the vlog, it calmed my anxiety. hope you feel better soon xx

[@TukaWiebe]

Appreciate and love how honest & raw this was. Don’t be afraid that sharing your feelings leads to a pity party. It certainly does not, your feelings are valid. You’ve inspired me to have a positive me morning with tea & monk!🥰hope you’re also having a wonderful day, God bless xx

[@Walkinjoy]

I’ve been having the same issue this past week. I’d go to sleep with anxiety, then I’d get more anxious cause I can’t sleep and I’ll just be there tossing and turning. At my worst it would take me four hours to fall asleep. Then during the day I wouldn’t be depressed but I’m not super happy either and I’ve been anxious over a few things. You’re not alone💕

[@victoriaelenitalopez]

I was all concerned till Jess said “That should be me” and I just laughed out loud 😂

[@JessConte]

bahahahaha

[@claireramsey9273]

Really appreciate you being honest. I have those days to and you talking about it makes me feel better❤️ love you Jess!

[@annikaboehme1705]

i've been feeling the same way for the past while (extra anxious and tired) so thank you for being real because it helps people in the same situation feel like they aren't alone and that someone gets it.

[@Anna7Collins]

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way! I started getting such bad insomnia postpartum, a couple things that have helped a ton is about 45 minutes before bed, magnesium powder, ashwaghanda (spelling?) and valerian root. Those 3 together help so much and don’t wake up groggy 💕💕💕💕 hope you start feeling better ✨

[@longsleepox]

also feeling so weird lately, its so good to know im not alone. thank you

[@victoriaseal9560]

I love how simple and sweet Jess is! I really hope I get to meet her and Gabe one day!! Much love for you Jess!! Thank you for inspiring me with everything.

[@courthopejones]

Love this content Jess! Your vlogs are one of my comfort “shows” along with New Girl! And love your raw/ real honesty in this video! I’ve been feeling the same lately so it’s great to know I’m not alone! Thank you!

[@jemimaabraham5329]

That was so soothing for some reason... Really taught me that's its okay to not understand why you feel a certain way and to give yourself time... Thanks Jess! Also I am so excited to get a painting by numbers kit as well!

[@JessConte]

it’s so relaxing to do!! my fave at home hobby :)

[@issywhalley7802]

watching this knowing you're preggo is so spesh 🥰

[@DanSurprise]

Please try chamomile tea before you sleep, I had been suffering from Insomnia and it helps me, I'm able to sleep 5-6 straight.. before I couldn't. Have taken it for the past 6 months every night.

[@zeinabchouman7770]

Same thing here omg

[@anna-fi2ju]

I relate to this so much Jess, sometimes you can’t pinpoint the feeling but uneasiness without really knowing the cause feeds into the cycle. Feel better sweet. I love your videos, so peaceful 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@majacorik6384]

Guys she literally uploaded this video on the day she got the negative result. She still did not know what was going on and omg I‘m so happy🥺

[@mrscanadanny2972]

My comfort show is I love Lucy! It just warms my heart and is such a feel good show. Monk is a great show too, makes me want to rewatch!

[@angieb9742]

“I don’t feel necessarily sad but I don’t feel necessarily happy” described it perfectly. I understand and I’m here❤️ God bless

[@shelbyywilliams]

girl I totally have been feeling the same way. when I get overly busy or stressed, it seems to make me even more anxious and unmotivated because I get myself so anxious. and it's been worse for me since this past semester. i love that you open up about how you feel, because we are all in this together and you are not alone! watching videos like this helps me to relax. it's okay to take days for yourself when things feel off🤍 love you jess!

[@Elisa-pt2zj]

I have days like that quite a lot but I feel like most people don't like to admit to feeling like this - so thank you for being open about the kind of things as well that aren't always super positive!

[@magdalenaandersson96]

I always get extra anxious the week before my period! That’s my strongest PMS-symptom. So I try to give myself some extra love and time during those days🥰❤️

[@ThienLeMinh]

everything is so calm, it's soooo pleasing to watch these videos

[@jessicagoel]

The video aesthetics feels much more like your vibe, love it, also hope you feel better soon :)

[@armainestuart4951]

I love that you can be so real with us, been feeling the same way lately

[@madelineelizabeth5422]

omg love your vids so MUCHH! the aesthetic from your vids is inspirational and calming!! thanks for making my day!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@lindseyfarmwald]

I’m so sorry you are going through this and I hope you feel better soon!! 🥰🥰 I love Monk and have such fond memories of that show since I watched it as a kid!! Seriously such an underrated show!!! It’s my comfort show as well!!

[@Rachel_Pence]

I think it's normal for life to be like this sometimes, the best way I get out of this 'funk' is to go home for a week or two, I know that's hard because your fam is in Australia, Friends help too, Also, when I lived in Florida I would go to the beach alone and read a book till I got too hot then ate a soft-serve cone with rainbow sprinkles and ALWAYS felt better. I would also volunteer at a sea turtle hospital every Saturday and it does wonders for your mental health. There's something about doing physical labor like helping clean sea turtle tanks that is just so good for the soul. Plus sea turtles are cool ;) Hope this helps!

[@phoebetroon4514]

I feel you Jess. Not feeling the best the past few weeks, really tired and busy. Makes me feel very comforted when i am not alone when i feel like this. Hope you feel better soon. Love your videos. Have been watching you guys just before you got engaged!❤️

[@annathwin]

Love that you’re so open with us! I feel like you’re my big sis or something. It’s so comforting 🥺🤍

[@ItsTatful]

Paint by number is favorite relaxing time, really helps to just chill and relax

[@blasesuarez]

Jess, your videos are my source of calm and simple rays of joy. Especially now that I could totally relate with the insomnia, anxiety and feeling unmotivated. I just wanna say that we could get through this for the Lord is our fortress, our stronghold and our inner peace 💗✨

[@lum1ere]

it’s super important to take time to calm urself and ur mind esp when ur days are usually filled with a lot of things to do. i’ve been following u since ur last name was still Bauer haha and i love this vid God bless u Jess :) hope u feel better on ur upcoming days 💛

[@vnamoon21]

I 100% have been feeling this way too. Not as productive as I usually am. Not on my routine. Kind of in a lull. Hoping it gets better soon! Love the video. You make them so well. The shots, editing, vibe, everything.

[@laurenhackett]

My absolute favorite KZbinr! I haven’t found anyone with the same vibe. I’m always so anxious for her to upload 🤍

[@AshleyKristina]

Homesickness is a real thing. I sometimes get in my funks too living across the world from my family. The only things I find that help are creating my daily routine like getting a coffee somewhere at the same place everyday, going for a walk with a friend or FaceTiming my family. It’s tough living abroad sometimes but also has its perks too. ❤️

[@savannab5200]

All I have to say is me thank you. Thanks for sharing and being real. I'm going through similar feelings right now, and it's really hard because I'm in school and I never have time to myself. So I'm not sure what next steps look like for me, but thank you for sharing this. It makes me feel less alone

[@francesse92]

Omg the applause when you get dressed its amazing 😂😂 thank your for being genuine and authentic Most times, finding time for ourselves doing what we love is the solution 🥰

[@nurmaharyati6795]

I hope you’ll get better soon. just wanna tell you that your voice is so comforting. Listening to you make me feel so good.

[@camandkadie]

Jess you are so strong. You are living abroad, you are managing a full time job of social media and you are supporting Gabe, all whilst you are far away from family/Australia dealing with your own struggles. It definitely doesn't sound easy. You're amazing 🤍 You two are amazing for each other.

[@sanebacalso]

your singing videos are my comfort youtube videos... they just keep me calm and centered.

[@ahaForeverYours]

Love your videos and your honesty. You are always so reflected and caring. I can relate so much with feeling weird, anxious and not as motivated as I wished to be at the moment. But I believe the more we accept and allow this feelings the better they get.

[@crystalkring]

Thanks Jess for opening up what Ambivert means. I think I’m also an Ambivert I never thought of that I thought it was just either introvert or extrovert lol. Anyway here are some of my tips to have a good night sleep, for me prayer before bed, then i make sure i get my daily walk or exercise in a day then chamomile tea it really helps as well. Good luck and take care ✨

[@ranivandevyvere2448]

Thank you for sharing this. You are such a beautiful person and there is no point in comparing pain or feeling like you shouldnt complain or you always need to have good reasons not to feel great. Sometimes our body knows something our head doesnt know yet 💕

[@anne-lizevanderree6840]

“Just put on your comfort show..” girl, you are my comfort show 🤍 love u

[@ella-wg4du]

Monk has been my comfort show since I was little as well!! I love it so much ❤️ and I’m sorry you’ve been in a funk, that happens to everyone including myself, and I’m sure you’ll get out of it soon. Times like those make the good times that much better

[@pramudabiradar1192]

its so therapeutic to watch your videos ❣❣

[@nina.g9871]

I feel the exact same the last couple of weeks. I feel super tired and anxious. I really don’t know why. But I’m happy that you are so honest and open about stuff, thank you❤️

[@gandasomuch]

thank u for being so transparent, jess. we really appreciate you. if monk is your comfort show, then mine is your (and gabe's) videos. praying for better days! love you! xo

[@afraaalharthy7023]

Your videos & vlogs are the comfort thing ever💗

[@taylahel-rahi8784]

your verses at the end have been spot on x

[@princessbadua237]

OMG I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! I was just journaling about why I felt so tired lately. Usually in the beginning of the week, I am motivated to start a new week. But yesterday, I was so tired and unmotivated. I’m having those days where I don’t know why I feel what I feel. I love watching your videos! It’s so inspiring and homey. I feel like I’m not alone. Thank you 🤍🤍🤍

[@danad717]

I've definitely been super off recently, but this has given me good ideas on how to help myself feel better!

[@maddyloscialpo1600]

I’ve been feeling like this for awhile and feeling off is no fun but going on walks and staying way busier than normal helps!

[@nehan5013]

Jess I can't tell you how much I have been feeling the same lately, I guess from the start of November. I hope you soon get back to your productive, happy self like always!

[@thebakercousin]

I just wanted to say this video was so helpful! I’ve been in the same sort of rut lately feeling anxious and depressed with things changing. This was just the video I needed, so thank you for continuing to vlog even when you are feeling like this. I’m definitely going to try to have a day like this, thank you ☺️

[@sariahbedford5178]

Thank you for sharing. It is nice to hear that I am not the only woman of God that has been feeling off and weird lately. This video gave me comfort knowing that I am not the only one that feels anxious in weird times, thank you for reminding me that it is okay to feel off and take time for myself.

[@abigailfriend2908]

i’ve also been slightly down and unmotivated lately and it’s comforting to know someone is experiencing something similar to me❤️❤️

[@vaishnavij6516]

My comfort thing to watch is your vlogs. It's very therapeutic for me ❤️

[@sophiabyday]

i keep coming back😂 i think the palm trees and rain and music is so relaxing.

Watching your videos is a “comfort” in a way to me and I’ve also been having a very hard week. Thank you for sharing with us 💛 feeling just that much better already.

[@qg4263]

I really needed this to know that i´m not alone. I´ve been really tired for a while not wanting to get out of bed and not enjoying the things i loved to da before i cancel all my plans just to stay home. It´s getting to the point that i´m getting annoyed with myself. I hope this will get better soon. Sorry for ranting but i have no one to tell and keep a smile on my face at home and while working

[@naveena5831]

I have been really loving the cozy, calm and combfi vlogs lately. 🥰

I needed to watch this today. I wasn't feeling my best either.. Thank you Jess for encouraging us!!!!

[@mollyhewitt8410]

i cannot tell you how happy i am that you did this vlog. i’ve been feeling so similar to how you have been feeling the past few weeks and it’s so strange. i’ve not been as productive as i normally am and i’ve not had the motivation to do anything, it’s been quite a struggle with the fact that i’m a full time university student. thank you so much for sharing this video with us and letting us know that it‘s okay to be feeling this way. it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to have our down days, but sometimes it feels too much. your videos always give me the strength to carry on and to never give up! thank you for always giving me that strength! i’m so grateful for you ❤️

This was such a calming vlog, I loved this.

5:12 Nice artwork. I used to do those too. These last 2 years have been different alright but with a change of pace which can be good for us.

[@anushasb1898]

I can totally relate to the mood you mentioned. I go through it at times too. What helps me to cheer up is listening to devotional songs and doing some yoga. Also meditating post yoga session helps in a great way.

Her vlogs instantly put me in a relaxed cozy mood 💆🏼‍♀️🤍 Ps. Small youtuber here 🥰

It's okay to not be okay sometimes. We all need our 'down' time or low energy days, don't we? Otherwise, we wouldn't appreciate the days that are better and filled with happiness, right? :) Love you sm Jess

[@woowoolip]

its nice to hear someone is on the same page. im tensed and anxious these days thinking bout my career path and whether to study acting in an overseas school or not. cuz it could mean something or it doesnt! weird industry. so hearing u talk bout how strange u feel actually put my mind a bit calmer . t

[@Sammy_4119]

I think I have never related more to any of your videos, thank you for being so open ❤️

[@NoraHyde21]

I feel the same pretty frequently. I call it a hyper aware day where every minute feels like an hour, the things you used to like watching no longer entertain you and it becomes difficult to go through the motions and you’re just filled with anxiety for no reason. It subsides within a week but those times lead me feeling the most exhausted trying to be motivated all the time

[@kerryannec734]

So excited to watch this!❤️ love you so much Jess, thanks for being so real and open

[@LovEsTvseRIes]

Thanks for sharing! I feeling the same way and also having insomnia the past weeks when it starting to get dark sooner and getting cold.

[@briannarandell6812]

Im so glad you shared this because I have been feeling this way for about 2 weeks now. It brings some comfort knowing I'm not the only one and watching this makes me feel a little better. Ive also been finding it hard to get good sleep the last few nights. usually I get to sleep but its broken sleep all night long but last night I never fell to sleep until around 2:30 am and I woke up before 3:30am and haven't slept since and its now 12:08am the next night/(morning technically) so that's real strange for me.

[@autumnrose8091]

i also struggled with insomnia earlier this year and it was the WORST thing i've ever experienced! what helped me was the abide app ( a Christian meditation app that has ones specifically for sleep) or headspace is really good too! what helped me tremendously however was worshipping on my knees - i'd do it a couple hours before bed and it felt like a huge burden was lifted off my chest! highly recommend all of these!!! and dw it doesn't last v long! it'll go away! try not to worry about sleep/falling asleep before bed! hope it goes away soon!!!! xx

[@kennedyminarik7345]
