I’m in Melbourne too and the seasonal depression is real. It creeps up on you until you’re like “why do I feel like this??” Then realise it’s been grey and cold for the past 2 months and you’ve not been able to do your usual hobbies. We’re over the halfway mark! You’ve got this 😊💖
This was lovely, as always. I do enjoy your vlog style vids. It’s good that you’re playing that game as downtime - don’t forget that now you’re reading as your job, you’re going to need breaks from it. When I started selling my art and embroidery, for a while I stopped enjoying it and had to have a break. It’s the one downside of your hobby being your job. Hopefully you feel refreshed now. Lots of love from the UK. 🩷
Going to the gym 3x a week is literally so hard man - I have no idea how people do it before/after work and NOT burnout IMMEDIATELY, props to you 👏 + get that mental health care plan girl ❤ Good luck!
I'm pescaterian in the way you described (only eat fish very occasionally) and I learned last year that my zinc levels were low! It made me feel sluggish and apathetic and taking a supplement has helped so much. Obvs follow your own bloodwork + doctor's recs but just something to be aware of! Hope your energy levels are back to normal soon
i'm having a tough past few months too :( health issues and anxiety and chaos around moving. i'm proud of you for getting on top of things i totally understand how hard it is to reset.
I haven’t felt like myself for a few months now but I know I’ll find my groove again. I really like seeing videos like these I don’t feel so alone. It does really feel like you’re FaceTiming with us and I love it when my favorite RUclipsrs do that. Love you Harriet ☺️💜
Thanks for being so genuine Harriet! I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so bleh but I’m glad that you’re treating yourself kindly and knowing how to take care of yourself ❤
I live in the northern hemisphere and I def get the fall/winter blues, even though fall is my favorite season. It’s just the natural cycle for me. I tend to live vicariously through your channel when it’s my winter time though because you are in the swing of summer then and it’s like I’m savoring the last drop! Thanks for always keeping it real here! We’re all human and it’s nice to hear someone speaking so candidly about and validating the not so perfect feelings we have as humans when social media has become so heavily influenced by this idea of selling “perfection” ❤ I see you and you’re doing an amazing job!!
Gosh this is so relatable and made me feel a lot better about my own stress and anxiety (even gave me some more ideas about how to deal with it as well, so thanks!!) Hope you feel more balanced soon!!
It's definitely winter blues in Melbourne, i get it every year. Also, you've just done a huge overseas trip, so your body wants to slow down and rest. I think it's pretty normal.
Thank you for the realness! I'm going through a similar funk and trying to get reorganized with appointments and cleaning and exercise regime, etc. The struggle is real, and we're all just doing our best. Cheering you on from Cali!
Doctor checkups are so important! I used to put them off even though I wasn't feeling like myself all year last year. I would get crazy cravings, was always hungry and tired but I just thought it was stress. Turned out I have LADA diabetes which I found after being sent into the ER. I really regret not going to the doctors on time (even though everything turned out fine and I am doing good not) because I could have saved myself from so much hospital trauma and worrying.
Oh my goodness!!! I’m so happy you figured out what was going on but so sorry to hear it was traumatic. Doctors checkups really are important and I need to stop putting them off!
I don't know if you're just going through a rough patch, or as you mentioned - or just always struggled with anxiety... because you're normally so upbeat! I myself deal with anxiety and depression, just a different side of you this video. Some of us are good at hiding it. Nothing wrong with it at all, and I thank you for sharing instead of making life look so perfect and easy all the time as others do. I always click so quickly when I see a new one from you bestie! PS are ya'll keeping the cat?
i have struggled with anxiety my whole life but also definitely going through a rough patch rn!! i also usually only film on a good day which is probably why i'm positive 99% of the time on here 💕 💕
I know it might just be for the video that you have them off a lot, but I find having the lights on helps my mental health, especially when it's gray. A silly little thing :)

I know it might just be for the video that you have them off a lot, but I find having the lights on helps my mental health, especially when it's gray. A silly little thing :)
This is actually such a good tip! I have this mentality that I can’t have the lights on in the daytime lmao but I should really change that!!!

What do you use for SEO? I´m thinking of getting vidIQ but I don't know if its the right way to go- any insight?
i have used tubebuddy in the past but i'm shocking with SEO at the moment!
@@scrivspo 🤗
do you have any advise for anyone that just started their channel (im at 78 subs)
Just make content you’re proud of and have fun 💕💕💕
Are you originally from the uk? Or where from?
I was born in Australia! Both my parents are British though ❤️
But she lived in sydney before I think and now lives in Melbourne, thats why her family is far away
You're gonna go sit outside and scare the neighborhood in that mask 😂
