    You are such an inspiration and a truly beautiful human being inside out. I needed to hear someone say those words. "It's okay to just breath and it's already enough and deserving of happiness." We tend to be the true enemies of ourselves sometimes and I sadly haven't used my anxiety as a friend who warns me of certain situations but as a reason to spiral into depressive episodes... I am so proud of you for showing your vulnerability, it takes such great strength, especially on such a vast platform. I am so glad to have found you, I feel like you're a kindred spirit. Thank you for sharing your introspection, it really helped me and I'll try to follow your guidance in my every day life. Stay amazing

    Hey Mara, been following you on Instagram for a while, I’ve found inspiration in your modelling pictures and love seeing your point of view in Paris, its so beautiful there (and I miss being able to visit a lot!)
    I’m so happy to have discovered your RUclips channel as you are so much more than a beautiful person and model. Your words are so wise and helpful.
    Thank you for sharing your story and for this video you are a wonderful role model 💗💗💗💗💗

    Thank you Mara for open up yourself. Sometimes I fear that I cannot connect with other human being, but practicing meditation and other things kept me floating in the sky. The confinement can literaly destroy us psychologically. The advice you give is useful for others. You made your contribution during this hard time.

    As another anxiety sufferer, this isolation has been testing my ability to keep my mind from falling apart and having the worst possible thoughts. I love hearing your experience and perspective on the subject and I hope you continue to share your journey!

    I want to say how much I absolutely love these topics and your voice, perspective, and style. From RUclips, you seem very wise and kind!!!
    As you asked, Something that’s been helping me w/ mental health during confinement has been listening to podcasts by Marisa Peer. She is a therapist who is all about helping you to alter that narrative inside of your head, to rewrite it in a compassionate way without blame, shame, guilt, or judgement, and to nurture your inner child, as you were saying. She may not be for everyone and some of her podcasts are kind of narrowly focused, but I just wanted to share this in case it helps anyone out there:)

    I actually suffered from anxiety my whole life,but as a kid i didnt know anything about term 'anxiety',neither i told anybody how i feel. Even if i wanted to,i couldnt explain how and why i felt like that. So i fought it by ignoring it and keeping my attention and mind on other stuff. But now im suffering for 3 years,and i still didnt find any way to fight it,cuz ignoring doesnt work anymore. Im trying to find a resolution within myself,so i dont actually listen other peoples experiences,but im glad i gave it a try😊
    I agree with most things u said and i will try to adapt some of advices.You are really inspirational in every possible way,please keep on posting on YT. 🧡

    It's really interesting, the first lockdown was normal for me because have social anxiety... but now the second lockdown I am feeling really really down every single day. I fear the future. Like fear going forward. I think of every day it's horrible. Like u feel trapped.

    Have you been clinically diagnosed with anxiety? Or are you just equating nervousness with anxiety? Those two aren't the same thing.

    • @mara.lafontan
      @mara.lafontan  4 года назад +13

      Artemis hi ! I have been clinically diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and have been medicated against it for a looooong time. I am not taking medication anymore because I have found in different practices a way to manage my symptoms. That being said, I am not a doctor nor a psychologist, I’m just sharing knowledge on what’s been helping me, mostly introspection and self understanding. X

    • @artemis2935
      @artemis2935 4 года назад

      That's very helpful. It's something you have been through and i can say that all of us at some point have been frustrated and restless at some point during this confinement period (not as severe as a disorder but just small bouts of it). It's just that some people have made a trend out of mental illnesses and claim to be mentally ill without any professional diagnosis whatsoever, the reason why i asked( i didn't mean any disrespect). You can never be too wary of such people.

    • @mara.lafontan
      @mara.lafontan  4 года назад +8

      Artemis again, I’m not claiming to share miracle remedies for mental issues, my goal is to open conversations, make it OK to talk about it without shame. There are ways to make things better and it starts in my opinion with facing the truth, the dark, the shadows, and working from there. I’m not talking about anything I haven’t gone through myself and I rely on everybody’s common sense to understand that I am not suggesting that professional support is not necessary. X

    • @artemis2935
      @artemis2935 4 года назад +3

      Definitely. I get your intentions. I get your point. Getting the talk on mental health in motion is the need of the hour. I was just making sure that i was going to open my ears to a legit talk on anxiety, that's all. That is a person who has had his own genuine experience in dealing with mental illness and keeping it at bay. Please don't mistake me. I loved to hear you talk on the issue. And i definitely with all my heart appreciate your efforts. Keep it up!❤

    • @artemis2935
      @artemis2935 4 года назад +1

      It's just that with the rise in romanticism of mental illlness on social media in the recent years it is difficult to differentiate between genuine information and the nonsense. Hence the question about the clinical diagnosis. I am wary of such people who know nothing about mental illness and at the same time claim to be ill and romanticize the condition on social platform (again this is not ABOUT YOU, just a fraction of people).
