My Travel Anxiety Tips | Zoella

[@CocoDay]

anyone else *SO HAPPY* for Zoe that her anxiety is getting more manageable? *proud mum right here* 🙋🏻‍♀️💗

[@erin8032]

for me it’s not just flying or actually travelling, it’s just the whole process like you but also being away from my home and that’s really crap because i want to go and do things but i also don’t want to because i don’t want to panic

[@smilewithmel]

It's been so incredible watching Zoe tackle her anxiety over the years! I love that she's chosen to work through and not allowed it to control her life!

[@lattesdarling]

I loved watching you talk about mental health all these years, it’s so inspiring to see how far you’ve come💕

[@stardust9157]

The atmosphere you create is divine.

[@eleanorwillows6647]

Growing up, I was always an anxious child, i wasn’t aware of it and my parents didn’t bring it up as it wasn’t an issue. Around 6 months ago I got diagnosed with Anxiety. Before telling anybody, I thought the way I was feeling was abnormal yet I didn’t think I had anxiety. It got to one point when I had to let it out, and I did. It gave me a huge relief. I do suffer with it and I struggle from time to time but when I’m having a shit time I look at you and I think “if Zoe can do it, so can I” I’ve been watching you for 5 years and seeing you overcome your anxiety motivates me to do the same. I hope one day you can see this and know how much you’ve helped me. Thank you for everything. Thank you thank you thank you! I love you ❤️

[@erinpalfreyman313]

The part about being trapped in the panic relates to me so much, it’s so comforting to hear someone else has experienced it. Airports and flying are also triggers for me so thank you so much for having this conversation. I’ll be using all these strategies when I fly next month 😌

[@TrueDeen5]

Anyone else just think that zoella isn't just beautifully gorgeous on the outside, but in the inside as well. I love you with all my heart and your videos just make my day 10 times better. Especially after long fasting hours and GCSE final exams.

[@annatmccarthy7123]

Zoe I absolutely love you! My brother in law is a pilot. He explained to me that the reason people feel worse when landing is something to do with the difference in air pressure/oxygen levels change more rapidly. That's the reason why many babies cry more upon landing rather than take off. Just wanted to let you know that there's a legitimate reason why you feel worse on landing. YOU AREN'T CRAZY! Thanks for the vid xoxo

[@issythomas1949]

Please can you make an ‘everyday anxiety tips’ because I have every Day anxiety and it’s getting worse so I’d love to hear your tips xxx 💞💞 great video!!

[@daniatuni]

i think my favorite difference between british and american english is that whenever Zoe refers to sliders i think of little tiny burgers LOL

[@mwaters82]

I get anxious when I’m feeling sick too. I was the same as you. Thought it was my anxiety too but it wasn’t. A really good realisation! Xxx

[@samparsons8304]

Honestly this video is so helpful! I get really bad travel anxiety because of past experiences but you are what I call my "calm youtuber" like whenever I am anxious I watch your videos to calm down, it's weird because you are the only person I can watch to feel calm, so I have a few of your vlogs on my phone for when I go on holiday!

[@Lucy-we5zp]

Thank you for the tips, Zoe! I have suffered from anxiety for quite a few years now (since my mid-teens and I'm now about to turn twenty-one!) and although I don't often fly, I do get anxious in just 'normal', everyday situations and during car journeys, concerts etc. You speaking so freely about this has really helped rid the stigma attached to mental health and the feelings/fears you have had are so relatable to my own. I've already downloaded all of the apps you've suggested to try and I'm definitely going to try some of your other tips. Most notably the 10 minute task changes and the 'I want to do this' mentality. You said that you would be really happy to hear that you've helped anyone, so I just wanted you to know that you have definitely really helped me. Thank you so much

[@niamh8779]

A 46 mins main channel vid YAY

[@jesslavin3966]

As soon as you said “ like my friend mark” I just imagined mark as asking you where his phone is every five minutes 😂😂😂

[@TytleCraftHD]

I don't really have much anxiety with a grand amount of events, but this video opened my eyes and alllwed me to help others.

[@hannahb0106]

Nalas snoring is so cuteee, also I have a massive fear of flying like I have a fear of heights and also a fear of death (weird I know) so whenever I fly my anxiety is so bad to the point that all through the airport I’m nervous and once on the plane I have panic attacks especially during take off ,this video has definitely helped a lot and I think it will help when I go on a flight next.

[@laibachoudhury285]

I love the cosy bedroom feel is back again

[@emilyduncan953]

Thank you for this! I’m flying to Europe for the first time ever from the US in two weeks and I’ve been so worried about the flight. This has helped me think out a game plan to make it a successful flight.

[@agds91078]

This may sound crazy but I sleep with my iPad beside me in the bed so if I were to have a panic attack I'll have my iPad to play games on to help take my mind off the panic attack. For me everyday anxiety is waaaay different from an onset panic attack. Anyone else feel that way?

[@Musical00Minecraft]

I want to cry listening to Zoe talk about her anxiety so easily and openly

[@jenniferfoulger2009]

I dont comment much but I have to say how much you are such an inspiration! not only with speaking about your anxiety but also being so open and honest about being in therapy.

[@onlinepotato13]

YEEEEEES, I have been waiting for that for such a long time!! I am from Poland, i struggle with anxiety and last year i decided to go to university in England (University of Bedfordshire 🎓) which meant flying back home and flying there I am very very scared of flying, other then fear of being trapped in this metal thingy flying in the air, i have a lot of troubles breathing up there so this whole situation is very stressful and the whole process is not helping. Since coming here i took 2 flights on my own to come back home for Christmas and it was a horror. I didn't go home for Easter break because i was too scared of getting on the plane. Now, in one month, i need to get on the plane to come back home for summer and i am so so scared. You have no idea how much it means that You made this video, knowing that what You are talking about is something that You have actually been trough. Thank You Zoe! Thank You for sharing that with us! Thank You for everything! ✈️ Lots of love and hugs from Poland! 💖 By the way, I am visiting Brighton for the first time next week and I am super excited!! Any places that up there that are on "must visit" list?

[@user-cd2mm3tf5q]

LOVED the new bedroom set up !! Looking forward to watching this lovely, hope your having a great day and I’m so proud of how far you come, also anyone else doing GCSE’s like me , I hope your doing good and good luck, happy Friday xx

[@amiboxall2968]

Rol”er ball perfume is a life saver! The sent you choose can be associated with good thing making you clam down. Also as you apply it to pressure points it really helps me!

[@sunnavana]

This is so helpful. I became really anxious about flying as I got older. Some really great advice here Zoe 💚 Thank you for sharing and being open. Love to watch more like this.

[@yeongsind6411]

This reminds me of how Penny deals with her anxiety as Ocean Strong in Girl Online!!!! Love you Zoe!! 😘❤️

[@thedentonduo]

I normally don't have travel anxiety, but of course I watched this whole video! Love you Zoe! SO PROUD OF YOU!

[@yinshee19]

The amount of times I've worn converse going through security on airports is ridiculous. And security is the only part of traveling that I hate, and where my anxiety reaches the top. And as always, the converse sets off the beeper during security, and I panic. But I've learned my lesson, and I'm never wearing converse when traveling again. Last weekend I did three flights in 4 days, and the first one is the worst flight I've ever taken in my life - because of security, but the last one I did went a million times better. I really, really love this video, because it's so helpful to so many people. And even though I feel like I can handle flights now, I might have a fall-back, and it's great to be able to have videos like this to help me through it.

[@alishba]

I just love zoella’s honestly and how she’s open with us ❤️😍

[@adimarzer6432]

I am a 16yo havinh social anxiety and it's not as bad as many have, but relax melodies or any kind of music usually helps me. But, that is also because when I go out, I try to avoid people talking to me and thus, I put on headphones and listen to songs. This usually happens when I am travelling alone, especially a flight. I have a flight after a few weeks so this is a great video for me. Thanks Zoe!!!

[@mecaehla6826]

I love you. I have watched your videos since 2015 and I am so proud how much you have grown into managing anxiety. I, too suffer from it and you have always been an inspiration. All the love. Sorry for my english

[@grace4992]

It’s great to get that you can get over your anxiety and anything is possible !

[@ahoyjordy]

I’m traveling to Europe next week from Australia by myself and I suffer with anxiety so thank you for this i will definitely take this information with me ❤️❤️❤️

[@tahia3773]

Zoe is just one of the bravest,inspirational and wonderfully groomed women out there. Having gone thru anxiety myself I can get how hard it must be to some times to talk about it. But what Zoe is and has been doing is just so great and helpful for everyone out there. Mental Awareness is a very sensitive matter but when someone influential talks about it so nicely,u just Idk get so inspired and feel like,Yeah I got this. If they can do it,I can too. So I just wanna say thanks Zoe for helping me out and now helping everyone else out as well. I hope this video and all your efforts won't go in vain and people would really understand their or others situations who are this way and just will learn to grow by themselves. Keep it up,baby! U're doing so good! Fighting,Zoe!

[@kumbharmajida4370]

Your hair is gorgeous 💕

[@jesslavin3966]

When u said alter ego I thought of Ocean Strong 😂💗

[@thewalkerchallengers6578]

Thank you so much! This should really help me because I get extremely anxious which doesn't help the fact that I perform a lot with singing but I also get really nervous while travelling so this is amazing!

[@OliviaRushworth]

This has been so relaxing and helpful! I don't have anxiety (I don't think) but I have bad claustrophobia and I get extremely stressed easily. I'm fine checking in most times. Queuing sets me off a little bit mainly security. I get so panicked and upset and it always puts a damper on my holiday. It's like I've just checked in and then the dread, panic and stress seeps in. I'm going to try these tips when I fly in the summer! Thanks for being s constant inspiration love you loads xxxxxx

[@emmaxx7184]

I wasn’t going on holiday this year with my family because of my anxiety, and I didn’t go last year, this video has really helped and gave me some courage to perhaps think to go, you are such an inspiration, thank you so much for this 💞

[@sophbilliex2232]

This is such a useful video! I'm hopefully going abroad this year for the first time, and I'm so unbelievably scared. I never thought my anxiety was as bad anymore but when trying something new like this, it makes a guest appearance haha! But thank you for this vid!

[@jiannacastellano9187]

I needed this video. I leave to go on my first plane/cruise/vacation tomorrow and I’ve been having extreme anxiety

[@horrifiedpasta]

So happy you posted this! I could not click fast enough. I hate flying but you inspire me to challenge myself ❤️ Went on my first flight in 10 years in January and I thought of you!

[@rachelclaire3508]

forever proud of you Zoe and everything you’ve achieved 💖 such an inspiration 💕 xxx

[@sophiemarie100]

Thank you so much for making this video Zoe! I can’t wait to watch it! 💓

[@kmuehl7157]

I listen to podcasts when I'm home alone at night with the kids and can't sleep. I'm not really listening to it, but I find the voices calming and make me feel less alone (and less like there's a bogey man under the bed).

[@oliviawest4844]

I struggle with this topic constantly and I really appreciate you for posting this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Love you xoxo

[@camie5079]

I can’t explain to you how much this helps going abroad next Friday and I’m going to be so much stronger now because of watching this I love you so so much Zoe ❤️❤️❤️

[@marisemily4214]

Thank you so much Zoe ❤️ I have a panic disorder and travelling is one of my biggest triggers, especially flying, so this was really helpful ✨

[@justvibingitouthere]

This is what I need after a long school week. 46 minutes of heaven yes yes yes xx

[@laurad6994]

This is why your my idol, you know exactly what to say and that just makes me feel so much better about travel. I went to Florida last month and was so nervous to fly but I’m starting to feel a lot better and confident about it, Thankyou so much ❤️✨

[@zoellz]

I'm going on holiday to America next month and I'm really excited but so nervous for travelling, this is so helpful! 💓

[@OliviaCleosWorkshop]

I have anxiety but I actually love road trips but I have never been on an airplane before so I do not know how I'd feel knowing I was going on the plane, but I know I always think the worst so I'm sure I'd scare myself by thinking its gonna crash, or my anxiety makes me think of the worst actually. Just so unsure, but I will take these tips in consideration before ever going on a plane if I get the chance. So thanks

[@aimeecopeland4968]

I literally watched your video on what u put in your carry on suitcase like an hour ago so this is SO weird! Gonna love this video too because I have really bad anxiety when travelling and I also get bad sickness when travelling too so I’m so happy you’ve made this video! Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@eloisenelder9413]

This is genuinely the most helpful anxiety video I have ever watched!! Thank you so much Zoe. Keep up the good work! :D

[@olwenalaminos3456]

I NEEDED this so much, I have a trip to Washington soon and I’ve been nervous about it for weeks. And just by coincidence this comes up on my feed?💖💖you’re an angel Zoe💖

[@amytomlinson2210]

[@Kat.official]

So happy you did this video. My anxiety comes and goes, and I can’t get out the house most days! Thank you, great video ❤️

[@annaj7026]

I am so proud of zoe, she just deals with these things very well👍🏼💗💗

[@abigailzhmar]

This came at such a perfect time for me! It’s crazy because I never used to have any fear or anxiety while traveling but I have been feeling it so much lately and it’s not fun cause I have to keep on flying between Uni and home and it really takes away from the excitement of getting back home. Anyway, thank you for this video and all the love from INDIA 🇮🇳 PLS VISIT ONE DAY 💙

[@nata.lie24]

You’ve inspired me so much! Following you since 2012 and I’m still obsessed! 💕💕💕
