Shane is Unhappy With Life / Squirmy and Grubs

Shane is unhappy because he found out Hannah was been cheating on him with a guy that she met in the gym. Here’s the kicker: Liz (Hannah’s mom) introduced them. He’s an ex marine and is 6’3”. They are hitting it off. Happy for them!! Shane seems to be sad but ok with it.

I have been chronically ill, disabled my whole life and the feeling that I need to always do more to prove my worth is my own issue. Now that I can no longer work outside the home I have had to realize that what I can do is Enough! And no one is expecting more that I am expecting of myself. Sending happy vibes to both you and Hanna, love from 🇨🇦👋🏻

[@leenm.7677]

[@blueowl8928]

So true. I'm a total workaholic by nature and becoming disabled has created a massive ongoing existential crisis inside of me. I sleep through mornings on purpose now because I can't handle seeing/hearing others in my neighborhood getting up and leaving for work. I just remember when I used to get up early to go to a full time job myself. I still work part-time, live independently, have published a piece online about my experience with my disability, have a wonderful man in my life, etc., but I never feel like enough. I hate being dependent on the system for anything, but I don't have a choice. I'm still working on having empathy for myself. I'd never judge another person in my situation nearly as harshly as I judge myself.

I think that what sometimes catches up with people, even or maybe especially for those who are successful, is the enormous mundanity of life. No matter what level of success you still have bills, unfulfilling social interactions, and wake up with eye goop you don't notice till 11:36am. Life is usually just kinda... boring. And noticing that while feeling you have to be constantly successful, improving, bright and shiny can be hard.

[@hamdimahamed6427]

That’s so true. Sometimes, the mundanity gets to me and my depression gets worse. What usually helps is doing something I enjoy and that’s fun like gaming or watching a movie with family or going out to a park. Just getting out and enjoying nature helps a lot.

[@westfield90]

So perfectly stated.

[@pfaffbm]

I tell my kids - life is mostly boring interrupted by brief moments of excitement.

[@kudzu_]

I spend all the boring moments being anxious about the next time life won't be boring, because in my experience that usually means something bad.

[@klw8771]

Good perspective (luv the eye goop..lol). I think also if one is bored then that usually means there are no big issues in life which is a good thing & folks should be grateful for that. Giving back or redirecting your boredom to helping others in need is also a great way to have purpose & feel better about yourself & life in general too ❤️

[@EmilyLadau0729]

Wow, this hits home. I think we’ve internalized as disabled people this constant need to prove ourselves. I always used to say academics were my sports since I couldn’t play on teams in school. And now it feels like I’ve shifted to work filling that role in my life, but it still feels like I’m never doing enough. You’re doing truly powerful things, though, and I truly respect you (and Hannah) so much. But our productivity is not our worth.

Hi Shane, Thank you for being so honest with where you're at. I am facing the same problem right now. Life moves way too fast and it seems as though I can't keep up. I struggle with my own pace in comparison to others. I want to be remembered and feel accomplished in my goals. I just try to find the positive and trust God to give me the strength to keep going. You are an inspiration to me and I thank you and Hannah for sharing your story together.

This is incredibly relatable, Shane. So to answer your question-yes, I deal with this too! I have a very bad habit of comparing myself to others, which at times can make me feel like I’m not achieving enough, not as successful, I need to do more, etc. It’s easier said than done when people remind me that everyone is on their own journey in life, including me.

[@tammysantana7200]

I have times where I’m just unsatisfied with my life. I had things exactly the way i wanted them and then I had my brain injury ☹️ when I feel this way I do my best to focus on the present and the Joys that are in my life that maybe wouldn’t be if I was working the way I had been. You’re so talented, focus on today and the joys you have outside of work. I hope you’ll get out of your slump soon.

[@bleepbloop269]

I can absolutely relate to that feeling. It used to bother me so much to the point of very bad depression, but I’ve learned to accept that my happiness isn’t based on what I have/will achieve, more so on my relationships with myself and others. I had to make an active effort to stop comparing myself and forcing myself into a mold of “success” that didn’t fit me. Of course, I’m still driven and ambitious, but I also realize that I have to live through the present to get to the future, so I might as well enjoy it and make my future self happy now. Also, the term I think you were referencing is “sensory adaption” (where you get so used to something you don’t even realize its there anymore - like how far you’ve come 😊).

[@dreamcrone]

This was so interesting today. My friends tell me that I seem to have crammed 4 life times into one. I always lived passionately with many interests. I love people and I love learning. I always had dreams and goals in front of me. After my wonderful husband died of lung cancer, I found my self in a state that felt like I was a cork floating on the ocean with no direction of my own desires. I was being tossed about by the waves and currents. It was a new and distressing feeling. I decided to practice mindfulness and the art of being. What if my contribution in life is being an “experiencer” for the Creator”? My job was to be fully present in the moment as an act as a being with limitations for the being who has no limitations! Lol It is a spiritual practice that worked for me.

Not to make this about me, its just that when talking about happiness, it' all relative to each person. I can only share my experience and perspective. I used to feel feel down due to my ever growing ambitions. I measured my worth on my productivity. Eventually I noticed I had no work life balance; I looked around, thought 'who am I trying to impress and why?' I found all that was not making me happy. It took years, but I tried to remind myself daily of the things I am happy for and recall how that was not always possible (I had to start a gratitude journal because I was getting so down on myself and thinking positive doesn't work for me). Today, I am happy with the level of success I have achieved (although I will always keep learning and growing). If today were my last day, I can say I am proud of myself and I am fortunate to have my loved ones with me.

[@Anna13Tonks]

I'm not disabled but the *exact* same thing happens to me. I completely understand It helps me to think back on where I was and how much I've achieved. Realizing not everyone can do that and practice gratefulness. Stop and "smell the flowers". Have a dedicated hobby and social goals, because at the end of the day, I think I realized what truly will matter to me in my deathbed are the memories I made with the people in my life and these people so it doesn't matter as much how my career went. That's what makes life worth living. Also, I think we're all mediocre (not in a bad way). We are all the same, we do the best with what we have. Yes, some people seem like they make more impact and are more successful, but you are *always* making an impact, just, for example, by raising a child who is going to in turn make their own impact. Helping other people. That's enough and more success does not define your worth any more than that

I am disabled - I have severe ehlers-danlos syndrome - and I think about this all the time! My career took major detours like 4 times as my body steadily declined in overall function.

I have been disabled from a spinal cord injury for 25 years next week and feeling unsatisfied with my career, or lack there of, is my biggest challenge. My advice is to focus on what makes you happy and if being productive is your escape then that's a good thing. Just remember you can't solve anything alone and if you try to force yourself to take on challenges be aware of how you influence people. Even when we fall and fall behind, our efforts encourage others to follow us. Finally when you do succeed, take a moment to appreciate everything; your success, your books, your wife, and all the small things in between. You are awesome Shane!

Sometimes our bodies are smarter than us and in asking those tough questions, we realize we are on the wrong railroad track and we may have to step back to move forward in a new direction. Scary as hell but I've done it in a big way 3 separate times in my adulthood and have zero regrets.

[@melissasterling5772]

Shane even if you were not successful in most things you do. Look at the love that surrounds you. When you are looking back at your life you won't want to do more things but spend more time loving. Life is soooo short enjoy the living. Praying

[@tourmaline_422]

Thanks for being vulnerable about this. I relate but it’s because I feel like my work lacks visibility and therefore impact. I have felt pressure to do more so that I can increase my visibility because that often feels like the metric of whether my work even matters. When I get those feelings, I just notice them in my body and I try to let myself really feel them so they can move through me. And I remind myself that I’m more than my productivity, my visibility and my work, that even if I don’t accommodate anything I’m still a valuable, loving/loved/lovable being. (Also I remind myself that my niece thinks I’m a rockstar lol 🤩

Am almost 71 now. Don't know what it is about 30, but that was my worst birthday so far, too. Had heard that one high school friend was singing opera on stage in Europe. Another friend was working for the diplomatic corps in South America. Distraction got me through that time. Did some backstage work in little theater to keep myself busy. Gratitude journals might help. Best of luck and good wishes to you, Shane.

It’s that time of year when many of us feel depression . I live on the border of MN and Ia.and just seeing the sun today helps a lot .

[@ambersimpson75]

I have to admit I am feeling like this to. I've heard that to just stop trying so hard helps something come to you thats new. Since I'm kind of a task managing type of person, that's hard to slow down and do less. One day though putting my feet on the ground helped me gain some energy back, that's something I'd normally do, but the low energy got more ahold of me, so I wasn't thinking about that simple thing I used to do. Ugh I hope that helps 💜💜💜💜

[@aileenvanvooren5175]

We need more people to post videos like this ❤️ I think this is really relatable no matter how "successful" you are in life. People on social media often only show the super intense parts of their life, whether it's happy, sad, scary, etc. However I don't feel like many people acknowledge this feeling on social media. Thanks Shane for sharing!

[@lisav.9414]

You guys are great! You have your whole life ahead of you!!!

[@essexitagermeng5504]

This is my favourite couple😍 really looks like real ‘Love’, their chemistry, mutual sense of humour and connection are so beautiful, unlike the boring mismatched couples. Also, they’re both great story tellers.

[@Jeanniebugg]

I've recently started meditating. I think it's helping with my stress and anxiety. I've also been seeing a therapist (who suggested the meditation) and I think that's helping, too.

[@pinksoup9985]

Mindfulness helps me when I feel like this a lot. Taking time to just kind of "be" and exist in the present moment. The more you do it, the easier it gets and the crushing weight of "I need to be doing more" doesn't feel as heavy. The "What made me smile this week" that you do is also a great thing too to keep you thinking about the present and all the things in it that are wonderful. ❤

[@Jashley23]

This is SO normal Shane. As a preschool teacher and mom I get in funks where I am so down on myself and just acting depressed because I feel I havent lived up to my full potential and I feel guilt for not having a better paying job. I’m blessed that my husband has a decent job but it doesn’t keep me from getting really down on myself. But I love love love what I do. It’ll pass! You’re doing amazing and have accomplished more than most of us will in a lifetime. Take time to relax :)

[@mercyreign969]

I appreciate you speaking on this. I personally derive a lot of self worth in being productive - and have experienced health situations that keep me from that. I’ve worked a lot with therapy to try to just accept and enjoy and redefine productivity. It’s hard. I appreciate you.

[@bonniereynolds9354]

All that you have accomplished goes WAY beyond what most people would ever think you could've done having your disability. You are an amazing person and both of you are truly inspiring and I love watching your videos

[@deezee1116]

Shane, when you feel down or don’t think you are doing enough? Think about all of the lives that you and Hannah inspire EVERY day! I read comments and see the lives you touch, the hope you give, and the laughter I hear in people making comments. You two have more love, laughs, and smiles than most of us that can only dream about. You two are such an amazing couple! Keep being you! You guys are loved by so many!!! ❤️

[@mikemoore4026]

Shane I am totally blown away by your humor, I am afflicted with PTSD and since I have started watching you I have been inspired to be more like you and enjoy life the way I am..

[@conniehuynh5531]

Gratitude lists! Lists of things you’ve done that have helped move you toward your desires/goals, mindfulness, deep breathing or anything that helps calm down your nervous system. The overthinking is a sign of flight/fight in your nervous system. Connecting with people and things that align with your value system.

[@insertcreativenamehere7970]

The watch anology makes sense since you're talking about desensitization in both cases.

[@Patricia-sp2nl]

I get down a lot about our current environment and feeling like my health problems prevent me from doing more to help! But Hannah hit it right on the money. Making a list of achievements you have made towards your goals is extremely helpful. Sometimes we forget what we have accomplished. And seeing that list will help you realize that those achievement add up! You two always brighten my days when I'm down. I love you Hannah and Shane! Thanks for the laughs!

[@christina419]

Omg Shane when you said you recently found out you can’t walk I looooost it 😂😂

[@clboymom9467]

It’s hard. I’m running from the blues right now too, and really have no reason at the moment why it’s chasing me.

[@niharikabhargava5121]

Very relevant topic you discussed . I feel we are always measuring our success compared to others so we have high expectations of where we should be. Once we start creating milestones for ourselves and tweak others success mantras or parameters to fit ours we will be more at peace with ourselves. I came across your channel just a month back! Excellent topics - relationship, disability awareness, stress, anxiety, conflicts, fear etc. You both are so loving n caring towards each other and use humour to diffuse the bigger challenges you might be facing. Very commendable. Sending some love from Mumbai, India.

[@karagreen6191]

Nature. Get outside. Take in what you can. Find a spot for deep breaths. Find your thinking place. Getting out in the sunshine, near the water, or in the woods. It really help your overall well being. You’re amazing! Life is too short not to be happy. Do what brings you joy.😊❤️

[@chicanasc4201]

I love how transparent you both are about your issues! Taking some time to decompress, as cliche as it sounds, taking time to stop and smell the roses is necessary to keep good mental health. That is different for everyone. It might for you be drinking tea and binge watching something on netfix; journaling (helpful for me to write down when I'm going through tough moments); a spa day; going to see a comedy show; calling a best friend; etc. Another thing that I have found is truly helpful in giving one a true sense of meaning and fulfillment is taking time to volunteer and do some sort of charity work. It's great to donate but taking time to actually do something for others helps to remind us of the true joy and peace that comes from being selfless. It somehow helps you to focus less on your problems when you help others. Lastly, I'm not sure if either of you are spiritual or not, and I definitely will not get on a soapbox here to tell you what you should believe, but I have found that my faith (I'm Christian, Catholic specifically) truly centers me and it is the cornerstone of the puzzle that helps to keep my mental health in check (that includes seeing my counselor, psychiatrist, etc). It helps to keep me grounded because even when my own mind fails me, I know that I have purpose in God... Even when the world or people fail me and want to make me think I'm less than, I know I am loved not because I worked hard or did anything to deserve it, but because I belong to Him. I hope you find this helpful if you even read it. Blessings!

This video resonates with how I am feeling at the moment. Thank you for sharing how you feel. Hope all feels more positive soon. Only 7.1% away from a Million Subscribers 🎉. Not far to go now. Sending smiles and happiness from England x

[@grandmaheidi5757]

I LOVE your shirt, Hannah. Not only for the colors but, also, for the carousel. My mom loved carousels and we lost her in March of 2019, so whenever I see one I think of her. :-)

[@kristi7858]

Good to hear from y’all. Shane you crack me up. Love your t-shirt Hannah. So colorful. Come out of that glumly mood Shane. I hope both of your mothers have an amazing Mothers Day. Love you both.

[@act110mort048]

Hey Shane, it's okay dude. I just hope you know there are still some genuine people in this world. It sucks to be in your condition, and I'm not saying this to insult you, but to say that's what it realistically is. If anything, this pandemic has been the hardest on people with disabilities. But cheer up, you've got Hannah by your side! Just continue to eat healthy and stay with positive-thinking people. I know that's hard to find these days, but I assure you that there are still some genuine people out there. I hope you guys have a good day. 😊

[@fuldalina7900]

hey y'all, sending so much love! of course shane, we all experience that to some degree and these waves come and go. I think it's also worth considering how ableism plays a part in wanting to always be productive. My best friend has a disability and tells me that he's dealing a lot with being preoccupied with being productive becauce that's what societys ableism has taught him that he is useless. since he doesn't want to be, one coping mechanism is being *extra* productive. Also you guys havent updated us on your 90 hour work week. how has that developed? have you been able to reduce the hours? Much love

[@vidakanthak6561]

I have some mobility issues as of a few years ago and I've noticed my need to be productive has increased. I too feel not good enough and just get in these slumps. I'm sure the weather there doesn't help. I have to confess, I try to do more when I'm feeling down and it usually helps a bit. What's key is listening to those automatic thoughts we have and see what things you're telling yourself. Negative self talk can really get me down. Plus, I think you should move to CA. :-)

[@xndrpierce]

I don’t feel too good sometimes I get numb and frustration comes over me. But as of the last couple days I feel more in control of my body and my senses. I think candy soda and pizza definitely make life a little better while I wait to heal.

[@frictionlessme]

Oh Shane..life is so precious....don't waste anytime!!! Love you both.

[@h.e.1291]

Weather affects many people. I hope that the weather gets better and better up there where you are. Here in San Antonio, TX today it is 100 degrees. OK, that is a bit hot. Yet, I love it as long as the air conditioning works. Warm weather is good for lifting your Spirit, Mood and Energy. Best of Luck this week getting past the gloom and see you both in the next video! Cheers and God Bless!

[@theOftenator]

Yep! I experience this too. For me, achievement is kind of an addiction and I base my success as a human on it. I purposely carve out days to achieve nothing and just *be*. It's helpful and quite rejuvenating! I also live with SMA and my energy levels start to decline if I'm too productive for too long without rest.

[@ps0726]

Love the shirt. You two are way too funny.

[@christianasampson2852]

Ups and downs highs and lows, it’s all part of life but sometimes it does get too much and you need to switch off for a while and let your brain breath again. You clearly support each other well and talk a lot together, that’s one of the best ways to start to feel better. Getting out of the house into nature is another, take a picnic and enjoy the peace n quiet. You’ll be ok Shane, be kind to yourself there is no failure it’s all about regrouping and checking in with yourself and allowing yourself to know it’s ok to not feel 100% all the time. Best wishes to you both
