Week In My Life Vlog (DIY + announcement!)

[@abejaja]

megan being open with her anxiety in her videos like she is on instagram makes me 🥺🥺 we're rlly all human huh

[@GetReady4Bed]

Exactly💞💞💞

[@Roystothecoolkid]

As a guitar player I appreciate you keeping a guitar in your home for people that wanna play it. You are truly the best host of all time.

[@LangTheBigWang]

Everything coming from you just seems so natural now. It feels like you have grown so much in a short amount of time. Keep being you, keep enjoying life!

[@MeganBatoon]

this means the world to me

[@dulceg7690]

“In the daytime he acts like he doesn’t love me, but at night we know where his heart lies” #Deep 😩

[@taylor4725]

Thank you for recording your anxiety. I woke up wondering my heart rate was so high when there was nothing happening. I did some breathing exercises but was so confused on why I felt that way. Seeing you dealing with the same thing made me feel so much better and more justified in how I felt instead of pretending it wasn’t happening.

[@janellepangan]

I love how at 9:50 while you were talking about your anxiety and your struggles, the sun comes out for a bit as if an external being/force is shining a slight glimpse of light or hope or comfort onto you💛 Thank you for being so vulnerable with us.

[@TheThirdErnest]

Idk if y’all realize how nice that fridge is.

[@021kelsie]

Just bought a house with one supperr similar and WOW is it unnecessary 😅

[@MeganBatoon]

HAHA i was sooooo geeekd when i got it

[@poppy2443]

What fridge is it?

[@TheThirdErnest]

@@MeganBatoon that knock twice for the lights feature is so pointless but amazing 😂

[@TheThirdErnest]

@@poppy2443 lg instaview lol

[@Toastyy.design]

Megan freaking Batoon. That bench ingenuity is AMAZING.

[@MarisonArcilla]

When you were filming your anxiety attack and said “I was doing so well,” I felt that real deep. I haven’t had to deal with anxiety in months & I had three episodes this week :( I literally felt like something was wrong with me. But the next day, I was fine. Thank you for showing that in your video 🤗😇☺️

[@alexb.3279]

I was watching this video as a distraction from a panic attack and it was so so comforting to see Megan be open with her anxiety. Much love❤

[@Joe.D.Sheppard]

"Where is everything I need?" "Answer: within." If Megan isn't my therapist already... 😅

[@raquelroulin7781]

OBSESSED with those bench couches

[@xoteltel]

I love how you showed a clip on how you deal with anxiety. It was super real and cool of you to do so. I also deal with a lot of anxiety and sometimes it overwhelms me to the point where I just cant even move. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone.

[@pancake6364]

at this point, i’m not gonna be surprised if you post a video with a title “diy staircase replacement” or something

[@MeganBatoon]

LOOOOL

[@ArtisanJanelle]

I was picturing a plywood facade.... then I think if she could add some diy chandeliers/lighting it could be INCREDIBLE.

[@cuteegirl5]

Thank you so much for being so candid about your anxiety. I have been dealing with episodes of anxiety myself in the past weeks. Seeing someone I like so much on the internet go through the same at a random day/time of the week really doesn't make me feel like I am alone. Sending lots of hugs and thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life :)

[@juliannaoak8561]

the energy, the drive, the vision, the creativity. i'm just in a state of shock and admiration. I want you to help me with all of my half-assed home projects that i've been putting off.

[@macchiatogirl]

aaaaa really love the fact that you’re putting meganbytes back! yaaaaay! ❤️

[@ysa7823]

Wow. Ever since you cut your hair, I noticed your vibe, the way you speak, what you vlog, what you share with us has changed. And I'm so incredibly happy that you're starting to love yourself. and thank you so much for being transparent with us about your anxiety. We love you

[@LouiBurke]

Yessss come through kitchen update snippets ✨ gold pendants gone, warm textual banquettes, marble samples... I’m keen to see where this goes! ✨

[@angelamanalo1856]

the first vid i watched of megan was when she was putting that pendant light in the living room. What a great time seeing u change and grow and be yourself. Love that 4 you!!

[@chocogurlcooookiesxD]

“Have fun with whatever you’re doing today.” Megan your positivity is so addictive and i thank you for it 🤍

[@robertbenavidez9925]

Megan’s like a French mom that tells us her problems and we always listen lol 😂

[@emilyetcetera6233]

Its really so lovely to see you put things together in your home. Watching someone build their safe space and take so much pride in their surroundings is always wonderful.

[@simplebeauty171]

I have literally been watching Megan since internet icon days and I loveeeee how much she has grown and matured as I have kinda grown and matured? I am only 21 so I still got a lot of ways to go but you genuinely feel like the older sister and mentor that I never had but need.

[@lalazull]

The fact that you suffer from anxiety and watch Friends to feel better.... SAME!

[@VivaLaGlam5]

SAAAME! Watching friends calms me down

[@BeingJillian]

megan making her espresso on the ground of her living room just seems so on brand

[@fatimaraza2225]

Can I just say how much seeing you taking those breaths made me feel. I got through this everyday and seeing how we all think we are alone when in reality so many ppl go through it is just so eye opening. Really love you being so real. I know ita not easy.

[@GetReady4Bed]

When you showed your anxiety.... ugh I love you so much. Thank you for sharing. I have my days too and it’s nice to know other people go through those struggles. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@raquelroulin7781]

Also, idk if you saw AD’s house tour with Daveed Diggs, but they did framed coffee bags on their stairway and I could totally see you doing that

[@ashleycoker9381]

"I'm finally cool because I love who I am" LOVE THIS! I'm really passionate about mental health awareness and I am LOVING this version of yourself! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@caitlindekker3088]

Yes! I have anxiety and I often watch the same shows over and over in a rotation- friends, how I met your mother, the office and movies- parent trap, twilight, etc. And a lot of people don't get it, especially my husband who doesn't have anxiety and he rarely will rewatch something. It's just easy to watch, like you said, its comforting to know the ending and know there isn't going to be some crazy twist and your on edge, even if it's just watching a new hallmark Christmas movie or something already predictable.

[@ESPHMacD]

It felt nice to hear that other people keep going back to shows and films they know the ending of. Re-listening to old Podcast episodes or watching TV reruns is just about the only thing that can calm my anxious mood, especially combined with my ADHD. Going back to things that hold the familiar space in my brain quells the speeding trains in my head. It's also the only time I'll listen to an album from start to finish, no skipping, no shuffling.

[@anaaguirre2850]

I love how open and honest this video was! Like you said I feel like you have grown into who you’re meant to be and that glow is showing!!! AMAZING

[@gabriellafrancesca3453]

girl your personal growth is SO evident, like you've always been a delight but there's this authenticity and zaniness and self-love about you now that's so natural and okay with imperfection and open to life in all it's chaos and unpredictability and it's such a joy to see. it's funny how we all think the person we broadcast to the world/internet has to be carefully curated when in all actuality, real is ALWAYS the most engaging. it's what we love to see in other people and yet it's so easy to pressure ourselves into seeming perfect instead, so congrats on your journey and I look so forward to seeing more of it! happy for you babe x

[@Notrealcat006]

Thank you for filming the real parts of your day. It makes me feel less alone. I am undiagnosed but sometimes I feel anxious for no reason and no one seems to understand.

[@theajmay]

I love that you showed your anxiety that you were feeling! I deal with that a lot, it's nice to know that other people feel the same sometimes.

[@discoQueen127]

The benches are cute! And you’re not alone. We all have those days. Friends (the show and literal) help

[@anothernewobsessions]

Your personality is chaotic and intriguing at the same time and I'm here for it ❤️❤️

[@crystalbrito6858]

Thank you for being vulnerable and open enough to show us how anxiety is for you. You are a huge inspiration for me, and it helps to know that if you can get through it so can I!

[@niccabatingan7484]

I love how megan is so open with her anxiety, it makes me feel really seen 🥺❤

[@aprilkline4397]

I can't thank you enough for this video. i watch your videos specifically whenever i have had a really rough day. Today was extremely difficult and i really appreciate you sharing your experiences with anxiety. Sometimes i feel like my anxiety takes over so bad that even the breathing feels like its not helping at times. But i appreciate you and all the time you spend creating these videos for us. Love you.

[@KarenBltrn]

What....?! The multitude versions of you is astounding. Never change. Personality wise, creativity wise, inspiring wise. It’s impressive how much I am left impressed by you every new video. Megan, you are special!

[@amandarogers6161]

Thank you for sharing your anxiety struggles, it makes me feel less alone.💙

[@miabayani3781]

thank u for showing that not every moment on social media is perfect and fun. destigmatizing mental health struggles is so so important. social media is a highlight reel, and content like this helps people like me know that I'm not alone after all

[@janitaf1351]

Thank you, for being open about your anxiety. Deep breathing and meditation helps me as well🙏🏼❤️.

[@theaabrigo9440]

You know Megan, everytime you upload a video, I get REALLY excited. I don’t watch it right away. I allot a time when I have done all my works and when I am free from thinking “ooh I haven’t done this and that” so that I can focus on you and on what you’re going to say or do. It’s like you and me time. Yknowwhathmmsayin? You’re like a peace of mind to me. 🤍

[@Scarletjazhandsome]

Megan you’re always aspiring us. Your place I can imagine it being great for social hang outs. The part with your anxiety I appreciate you leaving that cut in there I know folks will relate

[@mayramendoza2635]

My husband's birthday is March 29th too!!! You do you, do whatever you want!! The sky is the limit!! Love these kind of videos!! 💞 God bless and stay safe!!

[@JuliaBeth8]

This is freaking everything I need in life right now!! Megan you are my goals!!!

[@prestonmackay9535]

Thank you for sharing your anxiety. That made me feel very validated. This week my anxiety reached its peak and I felt crazy, couldn’t even drive cause I just felt like something really bad was going to happen. So thank you for your vulnerability. 👏🏽💙

[@lilydaquila9847]

You're not alone. I do so many things crossed-legged somewhere because I haven't quite created another spot to do it 🤣 This has that Meganbytes feel, but with more Megan in it. I'm here for it!! Also, since I'm an educator, I've compiled these lists for kids to help them be aware of their anxiety/pressure/distress and having little techniques they can choose from to help ground them. We call it, "Oh, Calm On" and I have them for me, too.

[@MsSiksha]

I'm an educator too and would love those lists for my kids!

[@lilydaquila9847]

@@MsSiksha just let me know where to send them and I can definitely do that

[@MsSiksha]

Thank you so much! My email is [e-mail]

[@beanzburg888]

I really appreciate you adding in the part with anxiety :,) it made me feel so much less alone. when u described feeling super pumped and creative and excited but then getting hit with anxiety and feeling upset that it’s getting in the way of inspiration, I totally felt that. I deal with that almost every week and I’ve been telling myself to let myself feel what I feel and to let it just flow thru me and most days it works pretty well 🥺❤️

[@adiecakes]

Looove love how much you radiate genuine energy!! Thank you for sharing that vulnerable part of your day. You're right that it's not talked about that much which we should change. I started being more vulnerable and open especially with friends who I know are going through the same way and it has made all the difference. Can't wait to hang with you on Substack!! 💛

[@lauratusting1151]

i love that you love who you are. i’m so so inspired by you, i’m excited ab the corner project!!

[@cookiesnow6726]

I love how authentic and open you are! Thank you for sharing so much with us and always being positive! Thank you for also spreading mental health awareness and encouraging people to be kinder to themselves! Much love and support Megan!❤️

[@musicndanceaddiction]

But like.. an instrument wall would be awesome wow the hospitality. Break out the spontaneous jam of Megan’s dreams

[@firemars9783]

Megan is someone I can listen to and never get tired of

[@Bedstaa]

SERIOUS auntie Megan vibes when she is explaining her morning routine hahaha love it!

[@kathybrown8026]

Cute cute bar stools!! Bar couches! Whatever they are!! I am so grateful you are so real about your anxiety! That is so helpful to others that suffer from the symptoms you’ve described! People knowing that someone as talented and smart and beautiful as you can have it makes them feel normal as well! I have had it all my life and wish I could say it is easier with age but for me it hasn’t been! I do believe that if more people had been real about it I would have dealt with it much better ! It is something that can make a person feel alone and stigmatized! I thank you for addressing it so people know they aren’t alone! That means to world and makes a lot of difference! Have a great day and you’re channel is great! I look forward to your posts!

[@KarenBltrn]

Love the substack idea. I’m definitely an individual that’s interested in seeing more of you. YOU’RE NOT ALONE :)

[@hannahboliner5386]

I watch Schitts Creek when I get anxiety! Knowing the ending and the comedy of the show just helps me get ahold of things.

[@laurenhumm]

this whole video feels like a warm hug and a pat on the back

[@oceanbreeze1110]

He spends his day time for shenanigans. At night time it is all about cat love.

[@lauratusting1151]

i, too, am a BIG fan of your new kitchen benches - r u kidding me with those!!?

[@cheychailatte]

you are quite literally who i wanted to grow up to be as a child. pls take that as a compliment 💛💛 love you

[@gibanete]

it's amazing to see your plan and it coming true. i'm sad that im not able to be a part of the subscription but creating a community and conecting people through you is amazing, i'm excited to see what else you have planned.

[@Qu3Xu5]

You're not alone! Thank you for sharing your moments and routine :)

[@cheerleader0602]

Megan I adore you and how open you are to all of us. I appreciate it.

[@niftyleigh9874]

Oh my gosh I love the benches !!! Sometimes we have to create a little to make it the perfect piece lolthats what makes you so fun to watch ! You have a huge imagination

[@TorchiGrove]

I love how watching this I felt so much closer to you and like we are friends in a way if that makes sense, but you are doing amazing things and I just wanted to say thank you for making such a welcoming community over the years ❤️

[@evilbluemandm]

I've been searching for counter barstools since November. You literally just blew my mind with this bench idea!

[@ca07ti10]

You always make me feel alive Megan ❤️🙏🏼 I just wanna thank you for that ❤️

[@kaijello]

I've been dealing with a lovely combination of GAD and ADHD my entire life I totally feel that moment of "but everything was going so well" then suddenly you can't even breathe

[@dorcastorres3517]

Starting my day with this video. Feels right. Thanks megan 🤍

[@oliviahaitota9530]

Watching you during your anxiety felt like looking in a mirror. I've never heard of GAD but now I feel like I should get tested for it. Thank you very much

[@navayastrab1890]

Actually feeling this boss and real version of Megan. So awesome.

[@emilywagner3627]

I hesitate to even ask this, and I may just be too sensitive, so I ask it with tremendous love and gratitude that you're authentically sharing your journey with anxiety: could you please pop a tiny TW in the description ahead of content containing anxious moments? It was SO helpful to see you use your resources in that moment, AND it just would've been helpful to know it was coming.

[@Vulnerabityclub]

I could feel the anxiety through the screen. Anxiety, is such a terrible thing. I have GAD, and panic disorder. I do the same thing with shows and the cast feels like a friend on familiar shows. Thank you for sharing your anxiety, I would have never guessed you had anxiety. I do worry about not being able to breathe so the statement you made about knowing your breathe is always with you was very comforting to me. Thank you...

[@memorama66]

you know you can just raise the top shelf for your coffee bar. Just drill four holes to place pegs to hold the shelf a couple inches higher to give you enough clearance and then measure the board and trim as much needed to fit.

[@adamdz1073]

Keeping the anxiety in the vid is why I love Meg/ this channel (even though that sounds sadistic as helll😂) Just shows authenticity and openness and being comfortable enough to do that on the internet is a brave thing, and I guaranteeseein that helped alot of ppl like me😌

[@elizabethmontoya5633]

First you look beautiful in this video all days! I’m so obsessed with your home!! 😍😍 I love when you give us wide shots so we can see a little of all of it haha Also thank you for being so open about GAD. I have those days too where BAM you just feel anxious and it really makes you not want to do anything. & so excited for the content coming!! 💗

[@stacypontinen8576]

Seriously love so much of everything you're doing now 😍 you're truly in your element

[@josuenieves2124]

She really nonchalantly flexed on us with that fridge lol

[@rachelaureenb6]

Whenever I can feel my heart in my chest it helps me to lay with my feet elevated (advice from a cardiologist!) so you can actually calm the heart racing in a physical way!

[@mxnnyuwu1]

Happy Birthday Megan! 🥳

"you're not alone" thank you, megan. i'm having a hard day at work today.
