Hi Anya I totally understand your pain I have been dealing with same for some time and it is draining and tiring, we need to to be honest and open at times, your videos are real and helpful to know we are not alone with these feelings, we need platforms like yours where we can be authentic x
Yes. This. I find that life is simply atrocious and amazing all at once, in the same moment. Our human condition (society around the world) is not ready to acknowledge our shadow self, our sadness, our anger, our disappointment, our grief. This is very difficult. If you're lucky, you will have one or two people to genuinely connect with... Being heard is critical to a healthy human experience. But I believe that it truly begins with me. I must love and accept all of me, the aspects that are not ok and the aspects of vitality and resilience. I love your ideas around creative expression, like the dancing. Yes. Thank you for sharing at this level of vulnerability. I have found that if I can be creative in some way and not indulge in too much consumption (this takes many forms), I can keep myself in balance and feel stronger, more myself, more resilient. Grateful that we are walking the Earth at the same time. You and your ideas matter to me.
Relate to this so much, great vlog as usual thank you. Been watching your channel since you made that chronic fatigue vlog in your car many months ago. When my boyfriend’s at work I either have to get public transport or ask my mum for a lift to the GP today because I don’t have anyone else to ask for help. My hayfever allergies flared up again the last few days and still managing the chronic fatigue energy dips in between doing more again. My life does somewhat feel like I’m still in lockdown, only diference now is that I have doubled my baseline activity so I can walk at least 5-6kms anywhere now instead of being mostly housebound when I relapsed. Being broke and unemployed due to living with chronic symptoms means living a “half life” where you can’t afford to (financially and physically) do all the things which make it hard to maintain friendships. I am grateful to have a boyfriend who understands and supports me.
Thank you for sharing your story here ❤ and I am glad to hear you‘ve got a supportive boyfriend. It’s such a tough journey, but may we not give up and believe getting better is possible! Sending you much love.
I stumbled onto this YouTub. So true we try to hide our suffering and pain. Put on masks. I can sure say I’m not okay either. I have chronic illness and pain everyday. We pretend to be fine. I look at my former 6:426:496:52 pets who hid their illness until they were they were ready to pass on. We are more like them than we’d like to say. It’s good just to get up today. Great video. Encouraging.
If we have to pretend in all of the spaces, it can get very exhausting in and off itself. Thank you for sharing your own not okay. ♥ I just started reading 'Healing Chronic Pain, The Way Out' by Alan Gordon. Even though it's hard, but we won't give up! I am sending you much love and healing!
I'm so sick of it. i know exactly how you feel but I'm too exhausted to explain any more. but I know. my landlord who is very nice says to me "how are you, just tell me you're doing great!" and she's trying to be nice but I'm not okay. I might have fucking cancer and I have endometriosis among other things. I've been dealing with this alone for over a year bc my family has treated me like I'm crazy and my experiences and feelings are not valid my entire life so it's not any different now at age 32
I really understand, that you're too exhausted to explain anymore. I know what you're talking about family wise and I am so sorry you had to go through this too. Know, that you're seen and validated here with all your feelings and experiences. I am sending you healing and much love. ♥ Don't give up!
Thank you so much for this video. It is true. Thank you for sharing the book. I am experiencing a possible divorce and so much anxiety and hopelessness and heartache. I am very sensitive and was so hopeful and 100% invested in my love for my husband. I feel extremely scared, let down, betrayal, heart shattered. He doesn’t value me or our relationship as much as I, and marriage only meant procreating to him, and he wants infidelity and polygamy and casual eprelationships and it causes me so much pain. Do you think you could help me to understand what my purpose may be.. what is your purpose?
My heart goes out to you, I am so sorry you have to go through all of these difficult emotions and heartache. It's so much to deal with on so many levels. I have the feeling, that it might be helpful to look at some videos of Dr. Ramani, just by what you shared here about your husband. It might resonate. My purpose is related to my story, my talents and the values which are important to me. I want to inspire others through my art and through everything I am doing. I want to help fellow artist to unhide. In my experience the purpose reveals itself by focusing on our values as well as doing things which we love and are important to us. Usually it reveals itself by engaging with things, not just thinking about them. Does that help? It's a journey...
@@anjakersten Thank you so much. Thanks for being my friend. I’m so grateful for your message and being thoughtful and taking the time to talk with me. Thank you very much for sharing with me the the videos of Dr. Ramani. Thanks for sharing with me what your purpose is as a I try to find what mine is. I love art also. I hope to learn to focus on values as you have and to be able to do it while doing things we love or are important to us. Yes it definitely makes sense that it usually will reveal itself by doing things. Thank you for helping me learn and teaching me.

@@sandrawilliams7318 thank you so much! That’s exactly why I am doing this, creating a space of authentic expression. ❤️
Thank you for your honesty, it's a relief to be reminded I'm not alone in not being okay.
I am so glad to hear it was helpful and you're definitely not alone in not being okay!
I find this totally relatable, thank you for sharing. It is hard for me to put things like these feelings into words. Have a nice day
@@nicovac I so understand that it’s hard to put these difficult emotions into words.
Anja, you speak from your heart and with so much truth. Thank you for touching my soul today. Take care.🌹
Ah, thank you, that’s exactly why I decided to do this one. ❤

Thank you for your touching words ❤it means a lot! And I agree both creativity and self love or self compassion are vital.

because people are often single and that is a bad deal for a human being. being alone is not a good idea.

thanks of the Pi tip I am using it now it is helpful
It is actually quite helpful, definitely brings some relief.
I don't want to get a question "how are you" when I and the other person aren't good friends already.
@@SE45CX yes, I get it!
A guy here….when I feel not OK, I go for a run that makes me feel like I am going to die. Oops, you don’t want advice.
Hi Anja, you can always give me a ring if you want to talk! Peter
@@peterofarrell6379 thanks Peter!
