I went on a staycation, faced some fears, and drank some wine!

- The wolf shirt in question: amzn.to/3JRm5wU
Recently, I’ve been challenging myself to get out of my box and try and find things that recharge my batteries (that aren’t the usual reality TV in bed at home.) so I spent the night at HOTEL and watched reality tv in bed. Totalllyyyyy different!
I ordered room service, had some delicious dessert, read til my heart was content, and even challenged myself to talk to a few people! Overall, I was really proud of myself for getting out of my house. It felt like a really safe way to challenge anxiety!
If your anxiety looks anything like mine, just know i'm in this with you. Just keep hitting singles.
I love you! ♥

I know it’s not that funny but when I had to edit through the footage of me and the man who dropped the coffee off at my room, I did NOT need to go that deeply into the lore of my howling wolf shirt. 😂
You didn't "need" to, but we appreciate that you did 😆
and I'm definitely going to go read those Amazon reviews now...
and possibly buy a freaking awesome shirt
I would have probably my done the exact same thing you did 😊. He commented on the shirt so that opened the door to the convo that followed!
i was so impressed! i would have said a curt hi, mumbled thanks for the coffee, and shut the door, loudly, and not apologised for it, relieved to be back in the room on my own (i would have grumbled, to myself, about the cold coffee, though)
You being you is not a problem. People are different. Embrace yourself
But you didn’t go too far at all. It was the perfect exchange. I would have been like, “omg, omg, omg, look at these reviews with me” and THAT would have been awkward.
As an introvert I live for this content - feels like I’m traveling with a friend without leaving my bed
I LOVE this!! I watch so many travel vlogs because my anxiety keeps me from traveling a lot of the time and I always feel like I’m going on a trip with that person. So this comment made my whole life that I could do that for someone else!
@elyse_myers Yes!! I feel this, not just as an introvert, but as someone with chronic illnesses that often keep me homebound (even before the pandemic I was essentially "sheltering in place" because of multiple autoimmune disorders and chronic pain). It sucks feeling like a shut-in on all but my best days. (My life used to be so big and beautiful with an amazing career, friends and travel... now I often live vicariously thru other people's videos.)
@@catcolb11 this is also me. I became disabled and chronically ill four years ago and most of the time am bed bound. I have carers twice a day and a cleaning call from the same company. I too live with chronic pain daily and am autoimmune. I was talking to my carer last night about what feels like my previous life, which now feels like it wasn’t mine.
Sending love from England ❤️
@@standup2982 sending love to you from New England. Wishing you better health.❤
@@catcolb11 thank you, I love how women find each other here and connect from across the pond. Love and support to you 🫂🥰
I really like this girl. She's very honest and it's comforting to hear someone talk openly about many issues that I relate to.
Thanks friend! Trying my best to bring myself to the internet just as I am and let it be enough!
I couldn’t agree more!
You are absolutely enough just as you are! ❤@@elyse_myers
for anyone reading comments. It's your car door, it's your front door, it's your bathroom door. You are entitled to keep them closed and locked until you are ready to open them. Never feel rushed to 'move it along' if you're not ready to do so. it's your space. keep it as long as you need.
The other day I had a full-blown panic attack from chronic pain. That day I had watched your book store video. And I just told my self give myself grace. If Elyse can do that than I can make it threw the next 10 minutes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤❤
YES YOU CAN! So proud of you!!!
Same here - having severe anxiety while pregnant and watching Elyse always makes me feel better. ☺️
OMG I never realized I was having panic attacks over my breakthrough pain spikes, THANK YOU. Wishing you comfort and joy. 🙏🕊️
@@elyse_myers I got so distracted and flabbergasted by the fact that you read and left a comment that I almost overfilled my bathtub. You rock 🤩
I hope your pain is less intense. 💜 (I have chronic pain, too.)
"My body doesn't know the difference between being hot from a panic attack and just being hot" is so relatable!
I've been battling some pretty extreme agoraphobia basically ever since Covid, and your last video had me crying happy tears for you as you faced your fears, because I related so much.
I've had these exact same fears leading to exposures and pep talks in the car with my therapist.
Thank you Elyse, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your journey, I don't feel so alone, and very genuinely appreciate it. I know first-hand how big of a deal stuff like this is and was to have done, I wish you so so so much more success. Progress isn't linear but gosh do days like this feel amazing.
We're doing it scared, and that's okay!
You are so amazing, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write this comment. Your encouragement means the world to me! WE’RE DOING IT! 😭♥️
This explains much!
I thought I was the only one!
@@tigersmom77 You are ABSOLUTELY NOT ALONE in your struggles!! I’m here and so are all these incredibly BRAVE folks facing the same FEARS we are! Together we’re so much STRONGER!! ❤️
“Progress isn’t Linear” is like my Mantra every time I take a step backward in fighting my Implacable Enemy - ANXIETY!! ❤️
"Faced some fears and drank some wine" that's really all the girlies want 🥺
If your full career is just to video blog your life, I will be watching! You’re so charming and likable and we’ve all felt the little awkward moments that happen in day to day life, but when they happen to you it somehow normalizes it. I am glad you like to bring us along as support-viewers because it’s really wonderful to be there with you and watching you succeed as you conquer your fears. ❤️
I’m so grateful you’re here!!! Thank you so much for your encouraging words, you are so kind!
I HAD to look up that wolf shirt I needed to see those reviews for myself. Here’s Amazon's AI summary for the reviews of Dwight’s shirt:
“Customers like the appearance and mental health of the shirt. For example, they mention it's a beautiful piece of art, it makes their senses heighten and their mind clear, and it gives them a profound sense of confidence. They are also satisfied with power, and value. That said, opinions are mixed on fit, thickness, comfort, and quality.”
Hilarious. Thank you Elyse.
Hahahaha the reviews are so GOOD. Definitely some quality reading material 😂
Wait…are those lines in that AI reviews summary things that Dwight has said on The Office? Specifically about that shirt 👕 ? Inquiring minds want to know!😊
@@HRHDMKYT Haha no. I guess my comment was a little confusing. The reviews for the shirt are people just being funny and trying to emulate Dwight saying that the shirt makes them feel powerful or masculine. Amazon has AI make a summary of the reviews but since AI doesn't know what is satire and what isn't, you get this hilarious paragraph.
Elyse I need you to know this random vlog is my current comfort hyperfixation to help me destress and go to sleep and so thank you 👍🏼😂
Of all of the deeply relatable things in this video, the "I got too much. I just wanted to try... that's actually a lie, I didn't even want to try everything, because I've already tried it I just like it and I want to eat it" hit me in my soul.
Ive struggled with agoraphobia for the last 13 years. It got worse after my first child. Many years of therapy and I was able to go on my first solo vacation to las vegas, for 2 weeks, 2 months ago. It was the best thing i ever did for myself. It was so hard yet so fun, all at once. I was put in so many situations where i had to rely on mysylf, instead of my husband. It was scary and freeing. I cant wait to do it again.....keep doing these staycations, and anything else that involves selfcare! You are so worth it and more 🤗💚💚
Oh my gosh, I'm so proud of you! My anxiety and agoraphobia got worse with my 1st child, too. Then covid happened and another layer of fear was layered thick on top. I haven't mustered up the courage to go away by myself yet but I will one day work my way to it. Thank you for sharing ❤
You should be so proud of yourself for making such progress! That's fantastic.
This is also a goal of mine! To go on a solo trip. But I like the idea of staying at a local hotel like Elyse
I didn't know staycations got to include a hotel! When I've done them, we pick a spot in driving distance from home, and become a tourist for a day..but, then go back home the same day. But, adding a nights stay in a hotel, changes everything! And that was a nice hotel. Also good advice on the drinking water in the gym.
Elyse, you said something on the video where you went to Barnes & Noble and had a good trip. You said that you are a shadow of your former self. I'm 53 and I'm here to tell you that we all are shadows of our former selves. I dont' look anywhere near as good as I did in my twenties. I can't do as much, and I get tired a lot. So I wanted you to know that you are not alone in feeling that way at all. There are plenty of people out there feeling the same way, so we understand when you talk about your anxiety. Thanks for the insight.
The way Elise puts her struggles into words makes me feel so seen like when I try to explain this to anyone it makes me feel and sound crazy but when I hear Elise talking about her experiences it’s makes me feel like I’m not alone and that’s very rare for me ❤❤ (also love that she brought Twighlight that’s such a comfort book and movie for me)
@ville__ I genuinely don’t care who you are get a life you’re pathetic
Currently pregnant with my second & STRUGGLING. Seeing you thrive as an autonomous human being after 2 kids & even after health issues with your second, is giving me so much hope for the future & making me believe that it will get better/won’t be this hard forever. Please keep posting content. You’re saving lives Elyse Myers. Just by being you. THANK YOU. ❤
As someone who greatly struggles with phone calls AND asking for things I was so proud of you when you managed to make all those different phone calls
„Im trying not to be anxious because there’s nothing to be anxious about“ was also my go to for a while but I listened to an interview with Bill Hader (who’s an incredible human) and he said to just notice you’re anxious and to take the narrative out of it (aka you’re not anxious _because_ of anything, you’re just anxious and that’s okay) and that helped me out a ton! It’s just a feeling and that’s totally fine! Doesn’t mean it works for everyone, but it does for me!
Feel the fear and do it anyway! To anyone reading: you’ve got this!! You really do!
the almost accident anxious spiral is real. i 100p relate to it on so many levels. it's made me an incredibly anxiety ridden driver to the point where i will cancel things or ask my partner to drive me. thanks for sharing and being brave
Elyse, you're amazing! IT IS GOING TO BE OK. You are so brave showing the world you...all of you. You make me feel so much better about my own fears + anxieties. Thank you for your uploads. We're all going to be ok. And if s--t gets in the way, we will handle it calmly + make it thru 💪You're amazing, Elyse Myers!!!
Elyse, you’re a total star. Very many of us experience at least some, if not all, of these things. But you confess to it publicly, which I *think* helps you, but it definitely helps us! ✨♥️✨
This video soothes my soul. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to Fridays now. Where I live, sometimes it’s a Saturday. Which means I get to stay in that excitement for 2 days which is awesome.
I don’t know if you realize how much it helps me to watch you verbalize your anxiety. Sometimes I feel like there’s something wrong with me when the smallest task feels like a huge deal. I’ve always looked up to you and knowing you struggle too makes me feel less alone. My mom and I love watching your videos together. I hope you know how special you are. Thanks for being so authentically wonderful 💕
You being you on the internet for everyone helps me be confident in myself. Thank you. ❤
YES to "Body Doubling." 1000x YES.
Body doubling is such a calming experience.
Learning how to ask for (and utilize) a body double has changed my life!
I completely got what she meant by having the VLOG as company but I’ve never heard of a body double. I think I need something like this. Thanks for the reference point!
Hi. Body double is an Adhd thing to help u get normal things done@@BabyBobRossJalapeno
Bringing 6 books on vacation/staycation is the way to go! Reading is my favorite vacation activity 📖
I love this video! My husband convinced me to go to a concert with him last night that has theater style seating. One of my big no's. We sat on the outside seats (none negotiable) with my husband by the isle. The lady by me was super sweet. Said hey we're neighbors, I said welcome! Off to a good start! Then I spent 3 plus hours wondering when and if I should be speaking to her to the point of total distraction. But I did it and I survived and had a pretty good time. ❤❤ love that you did this for yourself.
“My bag doesn’t have front pockets and I didn’t have a purse!” I understand this feeling!
Elise Myers you are an Angel!!! So grateful for your channel…I have bpd and ptsd and watching you makes me feel so much better! Your words are so powerful…thank you. Mental health needs to be a normalized conversation and you have brought that to the table. I originally found your channel because I love to crochet…and I got a lot more than I bargained for watching you! Again thank you for everything🙏🏼
kick the chair
Sometimes we worry so much about what others think of us, to only realise most people are in their own worlds or are worrying about how they look, they really do not notice our awkwardness
I love how you keep trying new strategies. This is exactly where I am with my mental health.
Same
I'm so proud of you. Keep on being brave and thank you for sharing your triumphs and victories with us. You make us all feel seen. I love you!
I laughed out loud when you opened that whole cake. My kids were so confused as to why I was laughing. I do stuff like that all of the time.
To be honest I ordered it in the Crumbl app without really paying attention and then when I looked back at the price it made total sense. Hahahaha
@@elyse_myers hahahaha one time I ordered 50 bottles of some butternut extract. I needed one bottle for a cake I was going to try. I thought I was buying 50mL. It came in 2 giant boxes and I could not give that stuff away. I was super pregnant so I blamed it on that. My poor husband is a saint. I made that cake one time only.
@@BAMom780omgg what did you do with all those bottles? 😂
@@EmanDeMoan I gave away what I could then I had the throw the rest out 😭
Thank you for all that you do, Elyse, and for the realness that comes with it. I am a fellow very anxious person, and you and I are around the same age. I'm home alone tonight for the first time in a long time and was on the brink of a little bit of a panic when I turned this on. Having you to relate to and your video to keep me company really turned my evening around.
You are 100% me. I am desperately thankful someone else feels the way I do. You inspire me and make me feel seen. Thank you sooooooo much
I am currently on a solo travel trip in Thailand and constantly gently anxiety-ing. So while I'm lying awake at 2 in the morning over thinking everything, this video popped up and made me feel less alone and less of a failure. So thank you for being so open and sharing content like this, it's really appreciated.
Watching you run water to wash your feet had big "Mister Rogers going on a visit to places in the neighborhood" energy and I loved everything about it. Probably a music thing. 10/10 no notes.
I love this so much 😂
Elyse Myers content on a Friday = A Good Friday 🙌
I also had the same growth situation on my shoulders. Lipomas. Sounds very ominous but, it's like you said, extra fat for no reason. I had them removed. I had them on both shoulders near the bra strap area. I had a really good plastic surgeon. But, put it off way to long. So one side I had to do twice because the first surgery didn't get all the fingers. And it grew back. So, do it, sooner rather than later and get a surgeon that knows alot about lipomas. My first surgery wasn't successful in the long run so, I chose a different person the second time, and it's been like 7 years now and they have never come back.
This is REALLy helpful thank you!!! The general surgeon I met with when I was getting it checked out seemed really confident he could take care of it easily. But I didn’t think to really check it out deeper than that when it came to who did the surgery. Thank you for this!!
Maybe it’s time for a Dr. Pimple Popper collab video? 😂
I mean this in the most genuine, full of love and admiration way: this was the most human vlog I’ve ever watched. I felt seen and understood with every second of it. It’s so mind-boggling how emotional I got watching this but it’s cause it felt like I was watching myself. Thank you for your candor and generosity in sharing this with us, Elyse
The sweatshirt on with the AC cranked is so relatable - it’s really hot where I live and my dad thought I was crazy for wearing a sweatshirt when he was visiting and I don’t have a way to explain that it makes me feel cozy so idc about the temperature 🤣
I always run so hot because of my anxiety that I don’t usually have the luxury of wearing a sweatshirt for warmth 😂 I can only wear one if the room I’m in is like 65° or cooler hahah
@elyse_myers Living in Canada 🇨🇦 you'd think it would be cold enough here - but not for me with anxiety! I always want so bad to cozy up under a ton of blankets, but we don't have AC everywhere like you seem to in the US. 😟
PS: I was going to write 'in the states', but then I thought I don't think I've heard Americans refer to themselves like that 🤔 maybe that's just a Canadian thing? Is it?
Sorry for rambling, I feel the need to over-explain myself - sound familiar??
I feel like I’m starting to comment the same thing on all your videos, but I just have to thank you for making me feel normal. I have anxiety and sometimes when everything starts going wrong I just want the day to be over and I feel so alone. Like I’m the only one who struggles this much or I’m too awkward or something. But you (I don’t know how to say this) give me hope and a release (an Elyse release) from all that. You are so sweet and rather than wanting to get away from you (like how I feel people would react to me) I just want to be around you. Through your anxiety I see how you handle things with grace, and you go on living a good and happy life. It inspires me to do the same.
Elyse you are a saint I swear. The break downs of how everything just feels WRONG when leaving the house is so accurate I almost started crying
Here's the thing; I am neck deep into leaving my teaching job and staying home with my 3 year old and 19 month old. 3 years into it. I'm a wee bit depressed and lacking SO MUCH sleep and self-care. I found you awhile ago... but this video made me laugh so many times and feel like we are bffs. I am so weirdly and awfully skeptical of everyone but I am so convinced you are awesome and love love you. (that came out weird as I typed it but I'm not going back) 😉
I need to know the priorities of a staycation. I think I’ve been approaching them all wrong. It seems like you tickled all the sense on yours. Love it!
My priorities are:
1. Bathtub
2. Stored up shows to catch up on
3. Activities for the room (reading, crochet, rubix cube, etc.)
4. A thermostat that goes lower than 68°
5. Bottle of wine
6. A good meal
I use conversational vlogs like this as body-doubling when I need to fold laundry, but don't want to fold laundry. So, thanks for bringing "us" along on vlogs. We're all helping each other. ❤
You DO have people with you. You really, really do. We are right there with you.
Late diagnosed Autistic ADHDer here. I relate with you more than i can say. I often feel like I'm a walking pile of chaos. Sometimes externally and sometimws just internally. I always laugh at your stories just becuase you speak my inner monologue out loud SO often and i relate so much. I also feel like i am a magnet for weird things and things going wrong.
I’m a guy with very high anxiety and I relate to your videos so much, your content is a big comfort and I’m sure many other people would say the same so thank you :)
Don't feel rushed by valets but do tip them, as well as anyone who brings you anything.
“Don’t filter the humanity and the personality out of yourself. We already have that version of you. It’s everywhere." Elyse Myers (I have that on my profile, sometimes both of us need to hear that).
Good for getting yourself out there and challenging yourself.
They do make bags to seal in smelly things like shoes and wet swim suites, but used tea bags work well on the smell.
This is the second vlog-style video of yours I've watched on a doomscroll on my way to a breakdown. Your content has helped a lot, from your silly little gigglings at yourself to the awkward interactions that are mulled over for long periods of time. I'm feeling a lot calmer and cheered up now, thank you so much for making content like this. Will definitely be watching in the future when I'm stressed (if my brain lets me). I hope your having a good day wherever you are!
Thank you for content like this! I go through EXACTLY the same things so it makes me feel less ashamed. I get depressed when I look at most social media because it makes me feel like I should be out doing more things but it's such a struggle with social anxiety.
Felt compelled to share this into the void but I’ve been traveling solo a bit lately and at night getting ready for bed I alternate between this video and your Airbnb one. It helps me both embrace the solo travel but also makes me feel like I have a friend with me.
I love the editing techniques you use where the vocal overlaps the edit -- it is a very cool enhancement to the feel of your storytelling.
I really appreciate you being on the internet. You just being you is so affirming! Also that dress is so cute and I love that you I immediately changed to be more comfy once you got back in your room to eat.
i absolutely love these vlogs!! not only are you so charming and fun, the editing is great and it inspires me (chronic introvert) to go try new things!! put in the reps as jonas says!!
Elyse you’re soooo amazing! Thank you for being you! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰🥰
I grew up in the town where you live and just moved away last year. Thank you for letting me see some of my hometown, it made me cry at 5:12AM on a Saturday 😭😭
These vlogs are like medicine for my loneliness and imposter syndrome and anxiety. Thank you for making them and helping me feel like I am doing okay. (Not me crying writing a RUclips comment...) Anyway, please keep vlogging. Your videos are such a balm to my soul. Also, dat bathtub 😍
This is my first time watching any of your videos. Gosh I feel less alone now. I know that someone out there feels exactly how I feel and it feels like I’m seeing you in real time. I’ve always felt crazy or high strung and never thought anyone else could understand or felt the same way. Gosh this is refreshing.
I’ve never seen anybody eat so much…but it was fun watching how much u enjoy ur food! I felt like screaming MORE MORE MORE
Hahahaha I would like to note that I didn’t finish all the food I ordered (and had a bite of each cookie) but I wanted to enjoy it ALLLLL! And enjoyed every bite!!
Please keep making these videos. I love them. I relate. I laugh. I get ideas for my own life. ✨
Why are you so relatable? I love that about you.
You're going to obsess over the almost accident the same way I do.... yep. Still thinking/talking about it. Years later, I still think about situations like the one you had.
this is so relatable!! I used to stream. mostly from home, but i did a couple of outside streams and everyone was like, woah you are so brave talking to the camera and doing all these things (that i usually feel to shy to do). i felt exactly this! like i'm there with someone, so it's less scary!!
19:20 is a perfect example of how i learned to calm my anxieties when i was younger. You were so stressed about how loud our door was, but look at your reaction to someone else’s door being just as loud. It was no biggie. That’s how MOST people react to things you worry they fixated on. Tell yourself that every time until you start to believe it. It helped me majorly. Moral of the story? Everyone has loud doors and no one is as bothered by it as you think 😂
You have opened my eyes to what people with anxiety deal with all the time. The whole exiting car until you get into your room fiasco has happened to me so many times. Seeing it from your perspective is enlightening. Thank you for sharing and hope you enjoyed your staycation! And cumbl cookies are soooo good!
You make it ok that I’m not always ok and you make me want to be brave
I want to do exactly this vacation. Do exactly that! Note to self, 1. Check travel route for hotel access driveway. 2. Bring a little tote (like from Domoishi or something) to collect up car stuff. 3. It’s a whole cake, buy it anyway! Awesome!!!
Thanks u for this. I just watched this vlog while having a really hard time with my agoraphobia and the shame that goes with it...but it kinda made me feel like I went on this mini trip with you, and also that maybe I'll be able to do something like this eventually. I used to love doing little staycations but havent been able to in years. Thank you for sharing this, Elyse. This is why you are one of my fav creators, because you share the hard stuff and make me feel less alone with my struggles.
Thanks for bringing us along. I’ve got high school sleepover vibes for sure
Logically I know that you are editing this video after you’ve done this thing but emotionally I’m sitting here being your cheerleader like “yes, girl! We can do this! I’m so proud of you!” 🥰
This was amazing! I am so proud of you for doing this! SO PROUD. And it looks like something I need to do. I never would have thought to take a solo staycation. Your favorite foods, books, a tub, room service and all the desserts! You did GOOD!
Despite the setbacks you did it!!!!
Thank you for showing it all.
I laughed so many times because I KNOW! (I said “same” so many times.)
Thank you for sharing this adventure, this challenge and ultimate triumph. ❤
celebrating the small successes of things like having a phone call go smoothly is just so relatable
I hope I can live with as much authenticity and bravery as you try to live with. I’ve never watched someone who is so kind. Not just nice. But Kind. And not afraid to learn and grow and be wrong sometimes. Thank you. You rock and you make such a difference.
I have never related more to a vlog! My anxiety brain is so similar. Thanks for always keeping it genuine 💖✨️
Right?!I felt like this is exactly how it all happens.
I have never felt so comforted and understood as I do when listening to you. My brain says so many of the same things and I just feel so much better knowing I’m not alone. (Btw, the last time I had to valet park at a hotel, I had similar amounts of chaos and I’m still nervous about the next time I’ll have to do it!!!)
Not me almost in tears laughing at the first part because it's so relatable. I feel all these little anxious things too but you're so good at articulating all those feelings perfectly.
I love you, Elyse. You truly are amazing. I am so glad you're still making content here. I love seeing your videos. They make me smile. You are an example to all of us who have the same struggles as you do. BTW- I was very concerned when I heard about the tornado in Omaha. I am glad you and your family are safe.
This is the best Elyse. I love hanging out with you! Each in our own places and at different times. You just make us feel like we’re there without being there and that’s awesome thank you ❤❤❤
I completely to relate to all the feelings you expressed a loud in your video. I feel like those are often some of the same things going on in my head and it makes me feel so crazy! Seeing your struggle with the same thoughts and feelings is so helpful for me. I feel so much less alone ❤
Way to go for feeling all the things and continuing on!
So relatable. One time I was on a staycation with my best friend and in the evening we needed to go and get a takeaway but I really didn’t want to go through reception because anxiety. My idea was climbing out of our ground floor window, thus avoiding reception, but she wasn’t up for that. She insisted we are grown ups, we can do the reception thing…
So going through reception she fell over a table and I couldn’t get the door to work, it said push, I pushed, nothing. So as I’m picking my friend up off the floor I apologised to the receptionist saying I’m sorry but your door isn’t working, to which she replied “You have to turn the handle…”
Turns out I was right, we should have just climbed out of the window.
That is a funny story. My best friend and I are CHAOTIC when we travel. It’s the best time. 😅
@@WholeFoodSpark I’m disabled now but I have my memories of the most crazy times 🥰
Oh man, I just really like watching your videos so much. I feel seen, I see people I love in you and I see how hard it can be for all of us. It’s a gift you’re giving us by letting us into your world! Thank you, Elyse Meyers! ❤
The hot/panic attack thing made me think of the years I had anxiety, but also had shortness of breath a lot, and I often couldn't tell if I was out of breath because I was having anxiety, or if I was having anxiety because I was out of breath.
This happened to me before 😂 it freaking sucked. There was a year where I had a severe vitamin D deficiency which made me weak. My room is on the 3rd floor so every time I climbed the stairs to my room I felt weak and short of breath by the time I reached my room. So I immediately think "oh why am I having a panic attack again?" 😂 Don't know how I didn't realize sooner that it's just the stairs. Funny how we unconsciously associate certain physical sensations with mental states.
Yes! Is this exercise or am I having a panic attack??? Fun times.
I love that you are so brave during anxiety happenings.. lately I am staying at the hospital with my client , watching you deal with day to day mini episodes helps me cope .
I love when you take us along your adventures. You’ve become my best friend on the internet.
I could not love you more. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Omg what a comedy of errors; of COURSE the coffee would be cold lol. And I love that you told the guy about the wolf shirt lore. That is truly perfect
Elyse you are my hero. Watching you do all these things gives me so much courage to try it someday too. From all of us nervous girls, thank you.
I am loving these videos and I am glad that taking us along helps you because reading these comments clearly we are all helped by you! So grateful you are able to share these with us Elyse!
I don’t think you have any idea just how PRECIOUS you are Elyse 🩵💛
You are so funny and relatable and adorable! When you said my body doesn’t know if it’s hot because panic attack or just hot I had to giggle because I have said the same thing. It’s so frustrating. You tell yourself you’re fine and it’s ok and your brain just can’t comprehend that and panics anyway.
This was a joy to watch. Every mom needs some time alone, at some point. Good for you! And I'm so proud of you for sticking with it and enjoying yourself!
Thank you Elyse for always being yourself & inspiring others for just trying things we want to do even if we are little scared to do it
I’m relatively new here, but what happened to Wallace? He was so precious, you could tell he was loved and was a comfort over time. Also I think going down to the hotel bar is a hotel bar is a home run in and of itself. I always tell myself I’ll do that on work trips and always chicken out. I hope your staycation was wonderful, and I love the long form content!
I still have Wallace! But August sleeps with him and started sleeping with him sometime around when I got pregnant with Oliver. Pillow Pets actually sent me this penguin as a replacement but I steal Wallace back sometimes when August doesn’t notice 😂
Awww I love that! He’s a comfort for multiple generations of Myers 🥹❤️
It gave me so much joy having you share your experience with us. I relate deeply to this process.
Sending you so many gentle hugs cause I felt this SO hard. Thanks for what you do Elyse. It’s more meaningful than you might ever know
Im so proud of you, and i really love when you bring us with you on these adventures. Im excited to finish the video, even if you didn't make it the whole time.
My best friend just pulled out of our vacation this summer, so I was thinking of going on a quick staycation. Now, i definitely need to. And thanks for the idea of getting a good bathtub! As a very anxious person, your channel has helped so much. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend Elyse 💜
the stress you had when you almost got into a wreck is literally me in any social situation 😭 glad your okay though!
I really enjoy these vlogs. Look forward to them every Friday now. (But whenever you need to take a break or stop doing them, please do so if that's what's best for you ❤️ I'll just be here enjoying them as long as you want to do them 😊)
I highly recommend the stress balls with the little rubbery beads in them. When I'm on anxiety overdrive for no reason, which is like 90% of the time I'm awake, they've been so helpful. I figured this out by accidentally playing with my migraine mask with the same beads for 20 minutes without realizing it one day after it warmed up. Did that make sense? I hope so lol. Anyway, worth a shot, for anyone reading this that has that can't focus the energy feeling constantly.
