thrifting through the anxiety + try on thrift haul

[@boneyardcaptain1103]

I literally don't care what you post. We subscribed to your channel to see YOU. Don't worry about disappointing us, just be yourself and do what you want.

[@sarahhawkinson]

aw you’re the best thank you 🖤

[@mandaseg4995]

Agreeeeee

[@wellpretenditsokay]

Billybloodyhell I’ll honestly watch anything she posts!!!

[@spanishthumbs]

video ideas: -cleaning -organizing -grocery/household hauls -how to style *insert specific item* -diy clothes!! -following a celebrity makeup routine -follow me arounds -self care routine -outfits of the week

[@franzi4913]

and cooking videos.

[@spanishthumbs]

Fran zi yes!!!!!

[@neglectedteen]

yes to grocery hauls!!!

[@alassso]

love all of these!!

[@mei-nty]

yess would love cleaning/organizing videos

[@womaninread4158]

I have depression and anxiety and I’ve found that every day I need to at least put on “regular clothes” instead of sitting in pajamas all day and it helps to leave the house even if it’s just to go to a drive through and get some food or coffee. They are little things, but I find it helps keep me from wallowing in it all day.

[@sarahhawkinson]

honestly great tip and I need to remember to do this more often since I work from home I think it would make me feel more “normal” :)

[@nyxcelina219]

The kitties are probably all over you because they know your mood is down, they love their momma. Also thank you for discussing the issue with the idea that our value is based on productivity.

[@CorpseBride64]

I love that army green windbreaker, it's awesome! Honey, I want you to know that you are just so lovely & honest, I applaud you for sharing your difficulties. I am 55 and have had a lifetime of social anxiety & depression. I was fortunate enough to find a psychologist that I have worked with for 6 years now. Between that and lots of B12 I have come to accept & love myself for exactly who I am. I am unique, there is no one on this planet like me and that is my power. Guess what? There is no one like you either! You are kind, thoughtful, strong and I promise you, you got this!! All my LOVE!

[@matthewhardy6103]

the way you normalize mental health too me is so inspiring. Mental health is put in this stereotype always where you have too be in a HORRIBLE state and then fine all the other times, but mental health is a constant

[@sarahhawkinson]

yes and a spectrum everyday, and also different for everyone! I hope to continue to talk about it more in each video to normalize it and encourage everyone to treat it akin to physical health :)

[@Rollypollyrory]

The shoulder pads are so flattering, they make you look very well put together and I get those strong independent woman vibes from it 👌

[@sarahhawkinson]

I was thinking that they didn’t look that bad in the try on! haha maybe I’ll leave em and embrace my inner power woman ;)

[@CatLizWheel]

Thrift for resale only - scratches the thrifting itch AND makes money. ;) (Plus you could make "what I'm selling" videos.)

[@chloeelizabeth4421]

I was going to suggest "what I'm selling" videos. Love them!

[@hey-oh9no]

don't feel down on yourself because your anxiety got the best of you. you tried to push through it and do something good for yourself and you need to applaud yourself for that. i deal with alot mentally as well and it can feel absolutely impossible to do anything at all when you're feeling down but when you can push through it even a little bit count it as a victory. i did amazing the first week of january to the point where i felt like i'd finally beat it even the smallest bit and that i took back some of the control it took from me but week two and three were the lowest i'd ever been leaving me feeling defeated but being patient with yourself and continuing to try and do what you can is the best thing you can do. small victories are still victories. just do what you can, try and push yourself a little but be patient with yourself. and as for videos for this channel, it's all about what you wanna do. we'll watch whatever you post so continue doing what you like, try some new things you're interested in and have fun but don't over think the ideas you have. if you're interested in it we'll be interested to watch it. and don't be too hard on yourself when you miss a day or when you get sick and need to skip an upload. have a good weekend and to anyone else reading this, be patient with yourselves! we're all trying the best we can and i know it feels disappointing to feel like it's never getting easier but please be patient with yourselves!

[@midwestvintage8318]

Thank you so much for powering through to make a great video and for showing it’s ok to stop and take time for yourself! I’m so happy you are pleased with the jacket! I for one am excited to see some road trip videos!

[@halenhogerty6357]

woah I just went to portland last weekend for the first time ever. First off, you HAVE TO visit the Peculiarium museum, I know you would especially live it. Also Powell’s bookstore is a must. The only thrift store I really went to while in portland was buffalo exchange. When it comes to places to eat, I’d suggest Vtopia which is an all vegan restaurant (they’re known for their vegan cheeses). Also house of ramen is amazing if ramen’s your thing. They do have vegan options there. There’s also a Voodoo Donut in Portland that serves a variety of vegan donuts. Have fun during your stay!!

[@jj-qr4ro]

The editing is so wonderful! I hope you feel better both cold wise and anxiety wise. Some video ideas -personal finance tips/budgeting tips -what to do when you feel bad/have a bad day -a realistic health/fitness regimen that isn’t outrageous -easy ways to become more sustainable -habits/goals you’re working on and updates either filming little updates and making them into one video or a series of videos -quarterly favorites! Products, music, tv, films, books, etc. -recipes you like and that are somewhat healthy -tips for getting things done with depression and anxiety -self esteem tips

[@venusf4iry]

Please do not worry about consistently uploading all the time. The amazing content that you make takes time, and I'm sure most of us understand this. Your well being is more important. So if coming up with new video ideas is stressing you out, please take as much time as you need. Also, I would really like to see an updated band tees collection video. :) Much love.

[@kimboyd4777]

As far as what to film, it does not matter. Film whatever you are feeling like that day. I enjoy them all. I originally found you looking for psychology related content. My daughter is a psych major and I was searching for guidance. Just do it! Be blessed.

[@stuckinwonderland1345]

Honestly seeing you go outside with your anxiety is really inspiring. Just be you, I would even listen to you when you’re grocerieshopping.

[@carahamelie]

lol. Your low waisted jeans comment reminded me of when I was in school for apparel design in 2003 (low rise boot cut era).... and the professor in my merchandising class said that someday high waisted tapered pants were going to come back in style... and we all moaned and groaned and were like... NO WAY that will never happen... groooossss. Now that's all I wear. lol. - BTW, Im from Oregon and used to live in Portland. They have a lot of buffalo exchanges there.. that's where I used to thrift.. but I'm sure there are better places now, check NE Hawthorne, they have some good thrift stores, and its a cool area. If you like to read, go to Powells downtown, I'm pretty sure its the biggest used bookstore in the world. Don't go to voodoo doughnuts, go to Blue Star. I love Andina in the pearl district for food. Mothers Bistro is good for breakfast. Portland is known for their vegan-ness so you will not have any trouble there. Slappy cakes is fun.. you can make your own pancakes with different toppings... Also check out Saturday Market on the waterfront.

[@wellpretenditsokay]

It takes so much courage to get out of the house when you’re feeling anxious or in a bad mental state. Proud of you!

[@idleyesss]

"comment below what you love most about this channel." uhh sarah!! you! your honesty, your authenticity. it doesn't matter what clothes you buy or what you post, you're so relatable! x

[@zainabal-aithan8447]

Sarah, never think that you’re disappointing us in any way! You have loyal viewers that genuinely want to watch you for U! Take care of yourself

[@kathylennerds750]

I really love those kind of chatty diy videos where the crafting is more of a background activity rather than the video being like straight up tutorial-ish. That's just my humble opinion though lol

[@averilstratford1103]

I’m sorry you were feeling anxious! I was also feeling anxious and super stressed before this video popped up in my notifications but the editing and general style of this video really helped calm me down so thank you for that 🌸💘

[@Moonstone_Wolf]

Love the try-on portion! Thank you so much for mentioning that it’s okay and heathy to take time to do things for ourselves and we don’t need to feel productive 100% of the time!

[@six23ist]

So many ppl in the comments seem like they're really struggling with anxiety. Don't be afraid to ask for help, even if it feels useless. Someone somewhere wants to help you, even if you don't know it and even if they're not sure how to

[@neglectedteen]

declutter videos, make up/skin care videos, what’s in your shower, fashion essentials, more cruelty-free content, brow routine, make up or monthly favorites :)

[@meleksoyyeh4598]

i am going through anxity too it is horrible , i stay at home doing nothing crying justt feeling terrible and the world is almost collapsing , i can not even attend classes so you are so strong to go out and film, for me i just cry , so keep going you are a very strong girl, luv you and i am supporting you ,

[@yunassecretrapcareer6106]

Omg!!! That “auto pilot” feeling is EXACTLY what I feel. I always tried to explain the feeling of how I feel and I have never found a way to describe it. Right now that u said auto pilot I knew exactly the feeling. 😞Horrible feeling. Hope u feel better soon.

[@bruuuuuuk8294]

I'm from Portland. I recommend exploring Alberta street and also eating/drinking at The Bye & Bye, The Knock Back, and Cruz Room. I go to these places all the time. 😊

[@san1883]

I honestly enjoy ALL of your videos, doesn't matter what they're about at all. Your channel isn't necessarily what I usually watch but I subscribed like 5 years ago and I just love your personality and style(even though our styles are completely different), and bc of that I love your vlogs since that's when we get to see the most of YOU

[@tlsgurl]

"thrifting through the anxiety" perfectly describes my entire college experience tbh

[@jessicasfairytale]

Thank you for the deep words at the end because I'm going through anxiety and depression while applying for jobs as I'm watching this. It's a lot but your words resonate and help.

[@lisamcintyre2990]

We will watch anything you want to show us. We are your people. I love the “I try on all my clothes” type videos. Or tips for dealing with high and its days. How to keep your closet under control. I need that video bad. Lol

[@HandmadeShannon]

Sarah! I’m a Portland native and still currently live there. You simply MUST go to Pip’s donuts they also have house made chai and the coffee is good too (try to avoid Friday and weekend days if you can, it gets very busy). Tourists typically go to VooDoo for donuts but I find it to be disappointing. For more good coffee and breakfast food, Proud Mary is great and for dinner a Portland classic is Montage. I hope this finds you well and you enjoy your trip to Portland 😊

[@unspokenvoices3399]

I love what you post ! I love just hearing how your day is going,your knowledge/advice on different topics,and just videos that are very informative and helpful.All your videos bring something in to my life so I thank you for that 💗💗💗💗 Just make & put out whatever makes you happy and feel good about making

[@JennyWas13]

I actually think the jacket being green works so well with the colour scheme of the rest of your wardrobe By the way, no one should mind if you take breaks from uploading or it’s not super regular. This is free entertainment, we’re not entited to your time, and I’m just happy to see when you do upload

[@lanie7569]

I have really bad anxiety/social anxiety and I can say that thrifting does help even if you don’t buy anything. I’ve been having a lot of social anxiety today idk why but I’m going thrifting tomorrow so hopefully it’ll help:))

[@ericamcanales]

As a anxious person myself, I love how you work through your anxiety!! I feel inspired with all the things you said. You are such a beautifulm sensitive and cool person. Love the channel!!!!

[@marriedtomyanxiety]

I lived in the Portland area for 5 years, Oregon for 15, and maybe you'll have better luck than me but you might be shocked at how expensive our thrift stores are here. Not only in Portland but everywhere in Oregon. It's crazy to me. I see how little you pay for thrifted items and I've never found that in my thrift stores. But I wish you luck! I can't wait to see those vlogs!

[@erinsylovesthemountains4046]

I love furry co-hosts! May your week be bright and full of blessings 😊🐱🐱

[@minapomelo]

Ahh, you made me feel so much better when you started talking about the fact that we don't have to be productive ALL of the time. I've been feeling burnt out and super anxious lately so thank you so much for addressing this topic. Everyone says this, but I've been watching your videos for soo many years, you're so lovely! x

[@cherrythecorpse3734]

I admire how open you are about your mental health. No shame what's so ever. I feel like we should all be able to talk more freely about these things

[@rue6173]

I love your mindset towards mental health, that it’s okay to accept that today is just a bad mental health day you’re very inspiring xxx

[@bshelton7645]

I’m from Portland! Places to eat (all vegan or with vegetarian options): Jam on Hawthorne, Aviv, Virtuous Pie, Doe Donuts. Places to thrift: House of Vintage, Artifact. I hope you have fun!

[@halloweenjujube]

I freaking love your thrifting videos. The thrift, the haul, the try on - just super fun to watch. I love your style and seeing how you put pieces together. It’s inspirational. God damn I love thrifting.

[@sunbirdsc]

I feel you! There are someday where I just wake up and the anxiety's there and I can't figure out why it showed up - and I hate not figuring out why, which makes it worse. I part time resell and there have been days where I've "thrifted thru the anxiety". I have to tell myself, okay my hearts pounding and I'm put of breath and my mind feels off but it will be okay and I'm gonna do this. Thanks for being real.

[@stuckinlimbo8242]

I especially love your styling videos! And you don't even have to buy new clothes for those, you can use the ones you have already and create lots of looks. Like you did for the Instagram inspired outfits, I loved that one! Also I miss your get ready with me's. :)

[@Colbert148]

I know it means nothing but thank you for posting this, as someone currently having a rough mental health day I really appreciate it and just knowing I'm not alone. Thank you ❤️

[@kassandrasoto4935]

Take your time sarah! We love all your content and whatever makes you happy we’ll be patient 👍🏻 i hope you feel better physically and mentally.

[@kelsielizabeth]

i've lived in portland since i was in 3rd grade! currently in university @ up so i'm close to lots of fun downtown things. i'm gonna echo a ton of people here and highly recommend: Homegrown Smoker - BEST vegan restaurant! The Hazel Room - delicious vegan brunch plus its in hawthorne so it's in the thrifting district Pistils - beautiful local plant nursery Moberi - Delicious and also local açaí bowls and smoothies House of Vintage - a bit overpriced but super cool and HUGE vintage store I thrift mostly at our goodwills because we don't have savers and most small vintage/thrift stores are just as pricy. But the selection is usually pretty dope! bring a warm coat and umbrella, and enjoy all the greenery!!

[@Jellekee__]

Week in the life with mental health struggles and how you personally deal with it and incorporate self care tips?

[@milaknowslight6307]

yeees. bring us back to 2014- simpler times

[@wiwiwonka5628]

18:22 made me so happy for some reason😆

[@expressiions]

Missed you Sarah, as per usual. It’s always a joy seeing your videos here 🥰

[@lillyboles379]

The shoulder pads look sooooo good on you. You can do whatever you want with it but I think that you look really cool with them

[@griffontaylor3963]

Thank you for being so open about your mental health all the time. Its always so nice especially when you say stuff that i relate to. I hit an autopilot at work when I get to anxious its like i shut down and just switch to my customer service robot. On a completely different note I love that green windbreaker! That style and the color!!

[@miffyasbaby]

i appreciate all of your content, kinda miss your sit down talky makeup videos. but do whatever you feel like doing!!

[@bethz4880]

Hi recently found your channel. Thank you for sharing your stories of mental health. I totally relate. Watching your videos reminds me of me! And it makes me feel like i am not alone in how i feel. So thank you!

[@NoRmAsJeAnS82]

You’re stronger than me Girl. I can’t even get dressed, let alone leave the house and wonder around a store and interact with other humans on my anxiety days. And that’s pretty much every other day. I suffer from ptsd too so maybe that’s the bigger issue for me, but props to you Sarah!

[@katiecole1603]

I personally love the direction you have taken with your channel. It feels educational and realistic. You could do more educational videos where you’re learning about sustainability WITH us maybe? It can really snowball. Happy so far tho :)

[@SandraOlufsen]

Really dont worry about disappointing us. I can only speak for myself,but as long as you are happy with your content I am happy 🙈 Cats stealing the show as always 😅🙈

[@cassandrella1190]

I love you. Whatever you decide I will watch!

[@oliviahegarty1959]

so amazing how you push through your mh in this video, such an inspiration go youuu✨

Your cats are so adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing your haul! 🌟✨🌟

[@speede8616]

These clothes are reminding me of high school. Love it.

[@EmilyHummingbird]

Just want you to know Sarah that you have us and people in your life who love and appreciate and adore you. Anxiety and other mental health struggles are hard and scary and annoying. I understand. I know. And I want you to know that we’re here and that we love ya and your content and your channel. Remember to take time for you and go at your own pace. Put yourself first. Mental health first. Love you girl and stay beautiful.

I was just watching one of your old videos! Thanks for posting. I hope you're doing better now!

[@MsValerie6]

I really really love your lifestyle videos and advice on things in life 😍

[@EmilyRose-en3xv]

i really would love more what i eat in a day, cooking vlogs, grocery hauls!

[@lookitskatiex]

Great video, and very relatable. I have anxiety too and it really sucks. Sometimes it's hard to leave my house. It helps a lot, though, to see other people with anxiety talk about it. Side note: Your kitties are too cute. My cat definitely helps me get through the worst of all of it. Also, I really like your style and that Slipknot shirt is great.

[@marthelea]

That green jacket is my dream jacket! Wish I could thrift that. Tips for videos could be about ways to save money or how to use less money. I also think you could have a lot of fun doing makeup videos that are more challenge like, inspired by something or doing a specific style, color inspired or it could be whatever.

[@cupidangelwings]

Although I really do love these videos a lot- create what makes you happy and upload when it makes you happy. I'll love whatever content you put out Sarah 💙

[@8885Elsa]

I was wondering if you could maybe make a video about what to do when you get a kitten? I know I can find info on the internet also but I really want to know how you do it and tips & tricks! ❤️❤️

[@sarahhawkinson]

I’ve been thinking about doing a video about my cats and my top tips for caring for kitties! just didn’t know if anyone would watch lol

[@cerenerdem7880]

I would watch ahhhh! @@sarahhawkinson

[@8885Elsa]

Omg pls do, we would so watch!!

[@victoriahay8550]

I would love to see another recreating instagram outfits from clothes u already own, or not even necessarily Instagram expired but just trying on everything/discovering new outfits :) Also I laughed so hard at that zoom 21:26

[@SaraMarieHale]

proud of your journey as always. love love love u

[@camren8865]

I used to live in Portland, I think you’ll really like it! A lot of the places I recommend are in the outskirts of Portland, like the surrounding cities! But they can’t be more than a 25 min drive from actual downtown Portland! For coffee shops I really recommend Ava Roasteria, as well as Symposium Coffee! My favorite thrift store was called Value Village in Tigard, OR!

[@Eleanore.Rigbyy]

I love your phycology videos! Would love to see more horror/spooky stuff. Ik you dont believe in paranormal but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the skepticism surrounding Ed lurane Warren cases. Probably be better on your horror channel. Love you!

[@sarahhawkinson]

I’ve actually done a video on this on my horror channel! :)

[@claraz5235]

Head to hawthorne! Amazing thrift stores. You can make a whole day out of it! Also go to Mississippi in Portland! Same thing awesome stores.

[@beautyplayground]

I personally love that blazer with the shoulder pads

You're my favorite youtuber, so excited when I get these notifications haha💚 Also, your vlogs and grwm's are my fave! Just genuine everyday life stuff!

I live right across the bridge to Portland and let me tell you Sarah... It rains 8 months out of the year in the Oregon/Washington states. Dress warm and you might want some rain boots or something lol 🥶💧😅

[@lisacrum7767]

Whenever I'm feeling depressed or anxious I go thrifting too... better than curling up in a ball and eating chocolate.
