@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.)

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.

"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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Bringing 6 books on vacation/staycation is the way to go! Reading is my favorite vacation activity 📖

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!

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! ✨♥️✨

You being you on the internet for everyone helps me be confident in myself. Thank you. ❤

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 💕

“My bag doesn’t have front pockets and I didn’t have a purse!” I understand this feeling!

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 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!

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 KZread comment...) Anyway, please keep vlogging. Your videos are such a balm to my soul. Also, dat bathtub 😍

the stress you had when you almost got into a wreck is literally me in any social situation 😭 glad your okay though!
