The Fashion Citizen I really enjoy your vlogs. It would be great to see you guys use reusable bags when grocery shopping and thrifting. They are more sustainable, environmentally- friendly, and hold a lot without breaking can plastic bags. ❤️

Steph! Nerve Tonic from CVS! its homeopathic and it really does help! take it from someone who has suffered from anxiety disorder for over 8 years :)

Okay okay hear me out please: Can y'all do a challenge where you take one of your old baby-toddler twinning pics & THENNN go to Goodwill & do your best to recreate the outfits!?!! That would be soooo fun to watch!

Also I'm 30 seconds in & Mel's sunglasses got me shook ! 💞

Steph girl I appreciate the fashion, the makeup, the cooking, the vlogs.....but I appreciate you for who you are so much more. If you need time to settle yourself and rehabilitate your mental health, and maybe that means no vlogs/less vids, I would be more than happy to wait longer to see you guys on YT if that means you are healthy and happy

Thank you for the lovely comment Monica! I find that keeping myself busy with youtube helps keep my anxiety at bay. If I do find I need to take a break it helps that so many of you would be supportive of that :)

Monica Pina please take all the time you need! We hope you feel better!

Ughhhh king krule always gets me 😭💓

melos lookin like a stunner in those sunnies!! ah!! i'm SHOOK! also, punk, i really admire how open you are about your mental health, i love that you, and melos as well, don't present yourself as these perfect people with no real life problems. i understand the battle with mental health and i applaud you for even getting out of bed everyday. i send all of my love and i hope time heals you.

Steph, if you need a break you should 100% take one. Your health and wellbeing means so much more than a vlog or video. Nothing but love for the both of you 💕.

Thanks so much for your honesty. I've been watching you two since the beginning and we're the same age, so it's like I had two sisters grow with me. Seeing your art evolve is so magical. 🌹

Thanks for sharing with us Steph ❤️ hope it all gets better soon. love the vlogs!

love you steph! thank you for always being so honest and upfront with us. sending you good thoughts 🦋✨ P.S. Melos' sunglasses are A1!

Hugs from the UK - I understand xoxox

YASSSS QUEENS! every sunday I get hyped af for the vlog

Oh, little girl, I'm so sorry to hear your struggling with panic attacks. My daughter is 14 and is struggling with them also. As a mother, your instinct is to fix things and it's very hard when your child doesn't know what is triggering them. Thank you for being so brave in speaking out about it. And if you find anything that helps you, please share. Sending you much love.

I love that you are so open and are comfortable speaking about your mental health issues. You are a strong independent young lady and that is so inspriring. As someone who who has a loved one who deals with anxiety and other mental health issues, I am sending all my good positive energy to you in hopes that you overcome this issue you're going through. Love you guys, keep up the good work! 💖✨☀

I've been watching you guys for years but am just one of those weirdos that never comments! Stephanie I'm struggling with the same thing. I've had panic attacks and anxiety since I was 12 but have always been able to deal with it myself until recently. I've noticed that if I cut out caffeine and watch my sugar intake that it helps a lot. I know there are many many other deep rooted issues that cause anxiety but it is something that I feel I can at least control.

Hi Jenna! Thank you for sharing, I recently read that cutting out caffeine helps with panic attacks and anxiety so I'm hoping to slowly start cutting out my coffee. I'm hoping that helps! Wishing you all the best!

definitely, i stopped drinking coffe and my panick attacks went pretty much away, i'm just dealing with another mental issues but a few months ago i drinked a coffee and instantly got a panick attack, i recommend trying this out. Now i just drink it once in a while ALSO when you feel like one episode is coming drink some tea or hot water with lemon and mint, it helps you calm.

Agree that cutting out caffeine entirely helps heaps with anxiety. I try not to touch coffee at all, and very diluted tea (like putting the tea bag in for 20 seconds). Definitely try it!

Take care of you Steph! Everything else is secondary.💖

As a person who used to have panic attacks I can tell you what worked for me was therapy to find out what was causing them. I also took medication for a short time I feel that therapy helped to manage it. While medication helped shut my brain off since I felt like it was always going could not even sleep honestly and spent the day asleep 😴 since I couldn't sleep at night. Of course it's different for everyone just have to find what works for you. I wish that you get better and realize what it triggering these panic attacks.

Steph you are so strong, and we are all here for you! Sharing your own struggles with mental illness it has made me feel more confident to talk about mind. I know anxiety is the worst, and I'm sending you positive vibes! ❤️

I really appreciate that you spoke about your anxiety in this vlog. Recently I've been having panic attacks out of nowhere and I'm not sure where they're coming from or how to stop them, and it has me completely stumped. My ears perked up when I heard you say you had two in one day because just the other day I did as well and I had felt totally isolated and weird about it. So thank you for talking about your experience with this. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this and makes me feel normal again. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO REAL GIRL. YOU'VE GOT THIS AND WILL FIGURE THIS OUT. YOU ARE SUPPORTED AND APPRECIATED!

liked before watching loool LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Hey! I went through a phase where I would get so many panic attacks. I say stop drinking coffee, it helped me sooo much! I would drink Starbucks everyday and would notice that I would get my attacks later in the day. I stopped drinking coffee and the panic attacks slowly went away. Tea is a great sub. Wishing you the best!

I watch your vlog loyally. Thank you for your transparency in discussing mental health. And good for you for choosing therapy, it works wonders.

Being someone who lives in Tempe, it's so cool to see vlogs from your life when I live here too!

LOVE that you guys still do the "SO GOOD"!!!

I suffer from anxiety attacks as well. I don't take medication but what helps me are lots of breathing exercises . Hope you feel better 💖 love you guys!

Coming from someone who has had to deal and struggle with anxiety, I appreciate you guys so much! Mental health is so so important and I'm glad you're open about it Stephanie. Sending you my best wishes🌷

Another great weekly video! Hey Steph! We, your viewers are all here for you. Love you!

Hey Stef! I have the same opinion about medicating instead of treating the root issues. My panic attacks have greatly subsided as a result of intense therapy and counseling to get to the real reason my brain was reacting in a flight or fight way to everyday situations. It turned out that there were so many unresolved issues from my past that my brain was trying to process that sometimes it was just too much. It took rest, self reflection, and professional assistance to get better. But, it does get better! Love you and your channel💕💕💕💕

You do you girl. Taking care of yourself is always a priority and seeing you share your story with us is beyond words to describe.. it's wonderful, beautiful. You both are. Thank you for sharing! Love from Mexico

i also used to struggle with a progressive amount of anxiety. for me it was interesting because i also wouldnt always know my triggers, and obviously doesnt help that your immediate response is to put these attacks in a negative light which is so easily done. once going to a psychologist, it became pretty obvious that if youre the type to supress even the smallest of issues, it can build up. i learnt that by not giving myself the time to register my feelings properly, whether that be actual instances or just mood in general, i would have overwelming anxiety out of no where. this in long run was me not letting myself sit still and practise mindfullness (not big on meditating but still worth a shot) acknowledging every feeling every thought and properly letting have its own space to stretch out and no be so consuming. its crazy but ive found that even just a good time alone to literally LITERALLY cry was the only way i could get rid of tented up sadness or worry or anxiety. even for me it was combination or good and bad thoughts that even overwhelmed me if i didnt properly engage and let myself properly deal with the emotions. its all very bizarre and its not like im a cryig mess every two seconds, if anything its a quiet late night moment to myself or an afternoon to yourself. i found after learning this my attacks were a lot less and generally if i start feeling anxious its because i havent processed something properly. anywho i hope you get results, theres always a way and its not forever!

Stephanie, I'm proud of you for your candor about your struggles with anxiety. Trust your gut about meds and therapy. You are a very sensible young woman.

Ive been watching y'all's videos for the past 4 years and to see steph struggling with her anxiety makes me so sad :/ I feel like y'all are my sisters lol but i've never met you!! I struggle with anxiety too, what helps me is aromatherapy. I always make sure to have candles lit in my room and all around my house. That eases my nerves. Also having someone hug me! My sister isn't really a hugger but when it comes to my mental health she's there. love you steph, and mel💕

For panic attacks, try meditating! I use the app simple habit and meditation (all free on the app store!) and honestly, it helped me so much with my anxiety. Whenever I get panic attacks, I open the app and do one of the guided exercises they have and it really is a life saver!

Steph, I have been watching you guys forever like literally since the thrift hauls outside of the house lol and I appreciate you and Mel so much. When I was in a very dark place in high school and college, I watched your videos and they pushed me to get out of the house and thrift and make videos. This might sound silly to some but it was what I loved doing and I needed the push to leave my dark place for a few hours and enjoy myself. You guys were there for me then with out even knowing it and now I want to be there for you! I know panic attacks can be so hard to go through and not knowing where they are coming from can be the most frustrating thing but know that I am here for you and sending you all of the positivity and strength I can from LA! Keep being the fabulous and strong girls we all love!

rooting for you, Stephanie. Take good care of yourself. :-)

I feel you, I've been having a lot of panic attacks lately too. The last one was at one of my religious meetings, i practically ran out of there went to my car and tried to calm myself down before heading home. I know how much of an inconvenience it is so do what ever you have to do. Remember your health is important and we will be here cheering you on!

Love you so much steph, always stay positive and showing off that gorgeous smile of yours! We all appreciate your incredible content and more especially you and your sister :)

Loved the video and the ending, thank you for opening up about your mental health. Just by doing that it reaches out to other people struggling as well, you are amazing girl. I deal with anxiety too and I know it can feel unbearable at times. You aren't alone!

Aww!! I love you too Steph!

Love these vlogs so much! 💖

Sending you a big hug Steph! It is a strong battle but you're not in it alone! Love you both, take care of yourselves.

Stephanie you are so brave to discuss you mental health with the world! Kudos to you. Love the vlog

I'm glad to hear that you are doing something for your anxiety. I know that cutting out coffee from my diet and starting tai chi worked amazingly! I haven't always been the person who can do regular meditating but tai chi is great at teaching you to control your breath while getting you to concentrate on your body movements instead of your anxiety. Hope it helps!

love you so much, punky.

Thanks for sharing another week with us, we love you guy's more!. Steph I hope you discover what your trigger is and that you can resolve it. I have also been a long sufferer of them so I understand the annoyance. I know though all will be well😍

Love you ladies!! Hope all is well and hope you feel better ❤️❤️❤️

Love you both! Hope everything works out well pun. when panic attacks happen throughout the day it's no walk in the park. I totally agree with not wanting to go on medication, when dealing with my chronic panic attacks my main goal was to be able to control the situation in my own and not be dependent on medication. I believe in you!

My cousin suffers from panic attacks and black outs. She has figured out she cant smoke weed because that triggers it or she can be in certain places because it triggers her. So your trigger can be from a word to an event. But I'm glad you're taking initiative and taking care of your mental health. I personally don't like meds even if they do work I feel it's just a way for the company's to make money. I'm doing my masters in psychology and I love CBT! Wish you nothing but the best!

We're here for you Steph!

I'm glad to hear Steph being so open about her mental health. So many people are ashamed to talk about it. Never be afraid to talk about your issues. There are so many people who can completely relate. I really hope you find a happy medium to help you with your panic attacks. You don't need medicine. Unless that is what you feel works best for you, I would say to avoid taking pills. I had some issues with depression a year ago and hated the way the pills I was taking made me feel. People, my therapist, told me not to just stop taking them cold turkey. I still did, and I didn't see anything serious happen to me. Always remember, you have a choice of what works best for you. 😎❤👍🏼

Just started watching you guys and I'm already in love✨

King Krule 💘

Hey guys great vlog, Steph we're hear for you always no matter what 💕

✨sending prayers and good vibes to you punk💖 Ps I thought the lighting came out sooo good for the vid. Mel you worked your magic! xxRenee

your sunglasses are the best part of every vlog

I love when you guys make dinner!!

Thanks for sharing your mental health journey with us. Wishing you and your doctor wisdom as you move forward. CBT is really helpful with the right therapist!

love you steph, you do you girl

the lighting for your thrift challenge in your last video was pretty magical

Hello Mello and Punk, I hope that you are both doing good. I ve been watching your videos since forever and I like hearing from you and having every Sunday night to watch your weekly vlogs. You are honest, true to yourselves and I can relate easily to you and that's what makes your channel unique and authentic. for you Punk, I hope you get better soon. I had and still experience the same thing with anxiety and panic attack but I learned how to manage them because deep down I keep thinking that I am strong enough to go through that. Believe in your strength, I as a fan look up to you so I hope you could draw strength and power from yourself. Have a nice day girls. You are my favorite twins :)

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with panic attacks and anxiety. I suffer from both those things so I know how tough it can be. I am glad you are following your heart and doing what feels right for you. That's important. Take care and I hope that you continue to feel better and better.

Steph Im sorry to hear you get panic attacks too they're not fun, not everyone understands what someone has to go through when they live with anxiety so I appreciate your honesty. I just want to say Im sure most people would understand if you wamted to take a little break and spend a weekend without vlogging and just taking some time for yourself to feel better. I think taking a few days off for yourself is great for recharging your mind and health.

Hey girls loved the video and it's great that ye got to have a chilled day at head quarters, I totally get that the day wasn't vlog appropriate ;). Loved the thrift challenge video and all the effort ye put into your content. If your given up or reducing your caffeine you will have two to three days of headache of withdrawals it was horrible. Hope your feeling better,and give Mel a hug as I bet she is feeling it with you going through this time with getting yourself back on track. If you need to take time out or for yourself than do.

Steph I wish you all the best! I have panic attacks myself and I think everybody is dealing with them differently- I personally just surround myself with my best friends whenerver I can and being really open about it so they can understand! hope you get better soon! :)

✨❤️✨sending much love & a lot of good energy to both you girls ✨❤️✨

Thanks for sharing your health update, it takes a lot of courage to share something like that. It gives others, like myself, courage to talk about it also. Anyways, sending positive vibes your way! Thanks for another vlog this week, I always look forward to seeing them!

stay strong Stephanie! just know everything will be okay ( otay) 💜 I know sometime we all need to hear some words of comfort!

Hey Steph! I recently found out about technique for anxiety I had never heard of before but it really helps me and my boyfriend whenever we are struggling. When you feel a panic attack coming on identity and look at 3 things you can see. Then, identify and touch 3 things. It sounds so simple but it's crazy how much it helps! Also playing calm music that I listen to a lot helps bring me back to reality. Hope that helps!

all my love to you Steph ❤️

Take care of you. Sending lots of blessings xx

Hi girls! You probably won't see this but as someone who suffers from very bad anxiety, depression and hypochondria I want to extend a thank you for opening up to us! I also want to let you guys know that watching your videos really helps me combat all those things, I've been a fan since the very beginning and as corny as it sounds I consider you guys my friends! Anyways keep up the awesome work!! Also I had a video idea, maybe a "style swap" where you each dress the other in your style!

I really hope you (Steph) find the right solution to reduce your panic attacks. In the past year my anxiety has worsen and I would get panic/anxiety attacks more than usual. I did get medication to just have and even the thought that I have this little thing that could help has actually helped me even if I don't end up taking anything. Honestly tho the best thing that has helped me was going to yoga classes regularly. I don't wanna be that person that's like, do yoga it's great, but seriously do yoga, it's great. It is much more rare that I have an attack and my anxiety in general has reduced greatly.

yay the palm trees are nice again!

Love you punky!!! Fight through this times are tough but we need to stick together!!

Steph I hope you're doing okay. Mental health is so important and I guess our mind has a very weird/messed up way in telling us we're okay sometimes . Recently I get every emotion possible hit me at once it feels a little bearable knowing I'm not the only one going threw it too. We're okay, we just gotta keep telling ourselves. I've actually started to get into music more and it calms me down. Also maybe not the way you want to go but I actually got a medical marijuana card and started to smoke. Medicines wasn't for me I got so much more depressed with it. But I know everyone is different, but it's worth giving everything a shot as long as it makes you feel better. Sending all my good vibes to you and Melissa because it's so hard to watch the person you care about the most go threw something like this and you end up feeling a little helpless but as long as you got each other you two can get threw anything. ily girls💖💖

You are definitely not alone Steph. I've been having panic attacks frequently the past few weeks "almost a month now". I had to resign from my job because I almost fainted at work and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I've been staying indoors and laying around most days which does not help. When I am out, I worry constantly when/if it's going to happen again.

Love you both! Let's keep on fighting our anxiety/panic attacks, Punk!

I had a dream that I met you guys... I hope to one day run into you guys at starbies or goodwill or wally

loving your vlogs, always

Try valerian root! Chamomile tea and valerian root has helped me a lot with my panic attacks. And exercise.

You guys are so funny. I just realized Melissa would probably look really goo with a pixie haircut especially, now with the hot weather.

You guys look so stylish even going to the grocery store! 👏🏼

the shape of your sunglasses give me roz from monsters inc vibes HAHAHAHA but you kill it, anyway

I can totally relate to what you're going through. I'm having a really bad time with my anxiety, I'm actually going to see a doctor tomorrow to talk about this. I don't want to go through medication either. Fortunately, I know my triggers so I had know what to look out for. However, it is becoming an issue to trying to control my thoughts when I'm at that stage. Hope you can tell us more about this! :)

Have you tracked your panic attacks with your monthly cycle. My anxiety always gets bad the same time every month so I realized it has a lot to do with my hormonal changes.

Steph, best of luck on finding a solution for your anxiety. I was seeing a therapist and taking lexapro for mine and it was working okay. I no longer see a therapist like I used to because I cannot afford the sessions, but I've been surviving. I felt like seeing a therapist a few times a month forced me to constantly think about my issues anyway and put me in a deeper hole. I hope the cbt works for you. I only got to do a few sessions of it, so I could not see results.

I feel you Punky. Lately my anxiety has been getting worse. The only problem with me was that I was too afraid to say that I needed help that I just hid it.

Mel, I love your black mesh shirt with the stars. So cute ! where did you get it ? one of my fave drinks at starbies is also iced coffe with coconut milk. So good !!!!! Steph, thanks for sharing this with us. wishing u all the best. I have been following since 2014, so I will always support you! hugs/

Love the vlogs! I also had panic attacks when I was younger..they lasted about 2 years, and then just went away. I still don't know what triggered them😔 But I hope you feel better soon❣️🙏🏻

I LOVE BOTH OF YOU SO MUCH

I had a panic attack in a restaurant today, it was super embarrassing, and i had to leave for a few minutes, i hope things look up, the worst thing you can do is avoid these situations, but just know your limits

You guys definitely have to make a video about all the sunglasses & prescription glasses y'all have 😭
