Chit Chat GRWM / Fall Makeup / Update on life | Casey Holmes 

I have to be honest,I watch your videos in other seasons as well,but there is something about watching you in autumn that makes me so cozy and relaxed

I am a retired Nurse Practitioner in Mental Health. You are having panic attacks. It is a true illness. I am so glad you are getting help. It is not a weakness. I will pray for you and you are a beautiful person.

Ok first off this look is gorgeous 😍 I think its awesome that you're sharing your experience with anxiety because its helping others see that they're not alone ❤️ Also, I neeeeed to go get that makeup rack for filming lol!

I also never had to deal w/ anxiety & panic attacks until I came to college & I never got medication but I started working out & doing things to keep me busy & it helped me so much!

ROSACEA?? NEVER HEARD OF HER. Your skin looks BOMBBBB!

Does anyone else just LIVE for Casey and her videos?! She’s stayed true to herself and stayed away from unnecessary drama and she still gives us those classic RU-vid style videos we all love! Love her! 😍💕❤️

Thank you for sharing more about your struggles with anxiety and how you’re feeling. I completely understand your feeling of “emptiness” and you’re totally right about feeling like you can’t really explain how it feels. Good luck with the journey to figuring things out to make yourself feel better.

The rain in the background of this video is so soothing! Thank you for sharing your struggle. I deal with anxiety as well and figuring out what helps you is so important. Wishing you the best!

Was anybody else a little shook when she pulled out the Beauty Blender instead of her Real Techniques face & body sponge? Just me? I don't deal well with change apparently. All jokes aside, your followers love you, Casey! We'll still be here, take care of yourself first!

“Its not going to be a My Truth video don’t worry” 😂😂😂 I died!

Casey thank you so much for opening up about your anxiety and panic attacks! I have struggled with anxiety for a long time and it's so nice to be able to relate to others, so we can all help each other. Love your videos! Love from Arkansas 💖

I just adore you Casey! Thank you for being so transparent with your followers. You are a beautiful soul and make my days so much better. Keep your chin up! You are loved by many.

I can relate. A trigger for my anxiousness is too much coffee. And maybe the strong coffee you’ve been having lately is affecting your anxiety too. Try skipping it and see if you feel any different. My 2 cents. Xoxoxo

And this is why you don't need a truth video. You are always truthful. My daughter lost her cousin/best friend last year and it really brought out her anxiety. She still has hard times but it has been easier with counseling. You have to put your self first and you have recognized that which is sometimes the hardest to do. I hope you get what you need. I adore your channel and how hard you work. Congrats on 1yr!! 💜 💜

So sorry you are dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. I have just started getting anxiety/ panick attacks as well. I have been told that I internalize my stress! I am the same way in that I am always bubbly and rarely let stress get to me. For the longest time I would get chest pains and get this feeling of not being able to breathe, to the point I thought I was going to pass out and thought I was literally having heart issues!! Turns out its anxiety. Just know that you aren't alone!! I think it is so important to share that side of yourself to others on and off of youtube! You are so sweet and strong!! You got this girl!! I am LOVING all the FALL stuff btw!!

Thank you so much for sharing your anxiety story! I go through the same thing and it is so nice to know there are other girls out there that go through it as well. It’s a journey finding what works best for you, and I have confidence you will find your routine!

I'm a therapist, and many of my clients deal with anxiety. Ask your therapist for grounding techniques. This will help you reorient to the space and help you feel more grounded. Distraction techniques are great as well. Also, I always tell my clients to pause for a second and do a body scan. This can help give you more insight into how your body is responding to the anxiety and also provide a distraction. There are others out there as well; such as finding something in the space and pointing out specific details about it to yourself (color, shape, texture, what you think it smells like, etc...) I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at this...In summary. Grounding and distraction techniques. Also figuring out if there are any specific triggers and how to mentally prepare if you know you're going to encounter that trigger.

My favourite time of the year is Casey Holmes fall make up tutorial season 💕💕💕

The fight, and the hope, and the drive you have to help yourself is so inspiring. It’s so easy to let the anxiety and panic attacks rule your life... and I’m so proud of you for showing people that it doesn’t have to. Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️

Here in Kentucky we’ve had a few fallish mornings and evenings. It’s still in the 90’s. But that’s not stopping us from being fall ready!

My uncle taught me this technique whenever I feel like I’m having a panic attack or feel the anxiety coming on too strong. Close one nostril breathe in, switch sides and breathe out and then breath back in with the nostril you breathed out of and just keep that rhythm. It helps you even out your breathing while getting your mind occupied with something other than the shitty thoughts that come with anxiety like dying or the world ending. I seriously convinced myself my tongue was swelling and I couldn’t breathe and it happened out of no where.

Could I just say Casey and ANYONE reading this: asking for help is okay!! Don’t be afraid to ask for help; I am diagnosed with severe anxiety depression and my anxiety was so bad, like the panic attacks and everything, talking to someone helps with the feeling of emptiness and the shutting down feeling!! Remember you are loved and you are special!!

Thank you for being so vulnerable, open, and real with us. I too deal with anxiety and panic attacks, and it's absolutely draining on the body. If someone has never experienced it, it's really hard to understand the "fear" we feel when going through it. I'm so sorry you're going through that but I'm so glad you're going to get help. I support you so much and totally understand if you don't get content up when you want. Take care of yourself, your true followers will stand by you through it. Your look turned out stunning as always! That foundation looks beautiful. Stay strong, Casey!

These are my favorite videos. I love the relaxed nature of the chatty get ready with me, life update ones. I hope you can figure out what is going on and ways to help cope.

Thank you for opening up so much Casey! You will forever be one of my favorites! 💕 also SO ready for fall! 😍🍁🍂🦊🎃

I’ve been on medicine for generalized anxiety and panic disorder and have seen a therapist for 3 yrs now!! it gets better! love you so so much !!!!

Casey thank you so much for being so brave and talking about something so personal and difficult❤️ I've dealt with anxiety my whole life and the things you talked about sound a lot like what my own panic attacks consist of. Just know you are not alone and there are so many people who love and support you! I'm so proud that you're taking steps to get help and to take care of yourself. You've got this girl!!

Love that you’re sharing your experience with us, you’re not alone! 💖 ALSO, soooo ready for all the fall videos!! bring on all the fall vibes 💕😍

It's not makeup related but I think it would be nice to see a vlog of fall things to do upstate like apple picking, hiking, fall foliage, historical sights, etc. I'm sure that part of NY is beautiful during the fall season!

Casey could you do a full look of your holy grail products from the drugstore? Where every product you use on your face comes from the drugstore?

Thank you so much for sharing Casey! I have been experiencing such similar anxiety, especially around eating new things and feeling like my throat is closing. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone ❤️ I hope your counseling session helps you cope, I watch your videos when I need a positive distraction ❤️

I deal with anxiety too. As a military spouse, we have additional stress that some folks just don’t understand. Plus, these are really anxious times we are in. I’m so glad to know that you are getting help and it’s ok to “let us down” once in a while. It’s ok to not be ok for a bit. Don’t let your natural hustle freak you out. Sending you so much love.

Omg you should do a video on PUMPKIN MAKEUP (pumpkin colored, scented, etc)

My son had panic attacks and I knew it but couldn’t get him to even see it could be that. Here’s what I taught him to “ground” himself. Being mindful is one of the best ways to control feelings of anxiety and panic. Through mindfulness, you can train your mind to focus and detach itself from thoughts and feelings. One of the most effective mindfulness techniques is to focus on your five senses. Here is an exercise that can help you focus and practice mindfulness: List at least five things you can see. Describe them in as much detail as possible. List at least four things you can hear. Describe the qualities of those sounds. List at least three things you can smell. Try touching the textures around you. Whether it be a carpeted floor, a tiled counter or the damp grass outside. Describe the sense of touching those objects. This exercise forces you to zone on the details all around you, right now. When you shift your thoughts from your mental state to the environment around you, it creates distance from thinking patterns that would otherwise push you further into a state of panic. I hope this helps you sweet girl. Thinking about you. ❤️

Thank you so much for speaking out about your anxiety. It takes courage to do that, but it helps me and other people who suffer from it to not feel alone. You are not alone, Casey. It took me a while to open up about my struggles. I am now medicated and doing SO much better. Don’t be ashamed of medication(if that is what will work for you) or of talking about mental illness. Let’s end the stigma surrounding it. ❤️❤️❤️ Also, this makeup look is BOMB. It has inspired me to live my best fall makeup life.

Love seeing you being vulnerable and relatable, truly an inspiration!! By far my favorite youtuber.

I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder about 8 years ago. It’s basically what you described, it comes out of nowhere. I just wanna say that when you say it probably doesn’t make any sense to us I felt that. I feel like I’m going crazy when I have my moments. And honestly there aren’t words to describe how you’re feeling and why. But please stick with whatever your doctor tells you. I went to therapy for a while and thought I could do it on my own and I basically didn’t leave my house for months. Don’t let your anxiety take control of your life 💕 but anyway, love you and your makeup and everything about this video. I wish it would be fall in Florida 😫😫

Casey I'm SO sorry you're dealing with anxiety/panic attacks. I know that feeling all too well.. 😭 Oddly enough mine usually involve some kind of food/health trigger too. I have no idea why, because everything I'm fearful of has NEVER happened! Same thing as you described with being fearful of your throat closing up & allergy related things. Just know you are NOT crazy and your not alone. I'm so glad you're getting help, if you EVER need to talk.. Please feel free to reach out to me. It sounds like what we're going through is so similar! Sending you tons of love!! 💗

Omg Casey, I feel for you. Thank you so much for this. So many people struggle with anxiety in silence. Thank you for using your platform to tell people it's okay to get help.

Omg. Anxiety and panic attacks hit me this year for the first time. Just hearing you say you’re going through it too is helpful. ❤️

Not only are you so talented at makeup and give an honest review of the products, but you're also very relatable and down to earth! Love these chit chat GRWM! Looking forward to seeing more 💖

Anxiety is the WORST. I’ve been dealing with anxiety for about 4 years now, and it’s a constant struggle. It stops me from everyday normal things. Anxiety is in my family, my mom and my twin sister have it. I’ve wanted to talk to someone about it for a while and it’s getting to a point where I’m not doing fun things because of constant fear. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. I hope you figure things out and feel better! Just know you aren’t alone Casey ❤️❤️

Oh Casey, bless you for sharing this with us!! I have suffered with anxiety for so many years and knowing we are all in this together helps so very much!!! I will be praying for you and it does get better!!! 💜💜💜

Much love and support to you, Casey. You should be so proud of yourself for trying hard to take care of this. Wishing you better and easier days. You're an extraordinary person!!!

Loved learning a little bit more about you! Hearing about your anxiety makes me feel a little bit more normal lol

Yeassssssss!!! Fall looks bring them on!! So excited. Love the back. Who cares if it 10 min 40 min 3 hours. We will watch well I can’t speak for us all but I could watch all day!!!!

I’m so appreciative of people like you who aren’t afraid or too proud to admit when things aren’t quite right in their life. Life is such a journey. Sometimes we can’t reach a place that we truly love without slowly realizing and understanding certain things as they come together through life experiences and the passing of time.

Anxiety isn’t just chest pains, crying, and the inability to relax. It’s biting your nails until they bleed, then picking off the skin on your fingers once you’re out of nails to bite. It’s driving to the store only to sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes before turning back around, without even going inside. It’s getting a text message and forgetting to respond promptly, so instead of responding explaining you were busy, you leave the notification there for days, weeks, even months, getting a knot in your stomach every time you scroll past it or every time that person’s name comes up. It’s hearing a noise and planning in your mind where you’ll hide, what doors you’ll lock, and how you’ll secretly call for help if someone broke into your house. It’s asking your partner several times a day if they love you, partially kidding, but mostly needing to hear it because you find it so hard to love yourself in that moment. It’s putting off washing the dishes until there’s no dishes left, but then feeling overwhelmed by how many dishes there are to wash, so you just leave them another day. It’s understanding that what you’re worrying about is often irrational and not as extreme as your reaction warrants, but not being able to control your response. Often times, it even means you CAN’T understand that what you’re worrying about is irrational or not as extreme as your reaction warrants. Anxiety isn’t just chest pains, crying, and the inability to relax. It’s taking everyday parts of life and intensifying the excitement or fear they result in times a thousand, to the point that they seem impossible to face. Some days are more manageable than others, and it’s on those days I try to remind myself that I CAN get through whatever anxiety throws my way. It’s hard for me to share this and a little embarrassing to include this picture, but if even one person finds comfort in knowing they’re not alone in this, then I’m going to push past my comfort zones to do that. #MentalHealthAwareness

I wish I could hug you....YOU are being brave sharing with your youtube friends...

I had panic attacks from the ages of 16-17 and then 22-25 and I was never on medication because I realized that once I stopped fighting it, it stopped. In other words ,once the horrible feelings began , I would say ok here we go bring it and I told myself that if I passed out I’ll wake up, so I said ok body hit me with your best shot and low and behold, It started to leave me. I am 34 and haven’t had a panic attack since I was 25 because once I learned mind over matter, I was able to control it. Sometimes I would even jump up and down or run in place when I couldn’t even breathe because Really what you’re trying to control is the adrenaline. Your body wants to fight or flight but doesn’t have anything to do with it ,so if you can counter that, it goes😀I hope all goes well for you too because it truly is a horrible and frightening feeling-in the beginning I couldn’t even breathe, so I do understand how you feel -I know everything will be wonderful in the end with you being so proactive😊😍and THANK YOU for bringing the Fall!

Girl you are so not alone. Good for you for talking about this so openly!! You are strong. Good luck girl.

Casey, you don’t even know how good it feels to hear you talk about your anxiety and panic attacks. You have been someone I’ve looked up to for YEARS, and to know that you go through some of the same things that I do is so comforting. Don’t stress yourself out about posting videos, we will all be here for you no matter what! Thank you for being so genuine and real, and just being you! 💗❤️

I’d love to see a fall morning/evening/ night routine. I love watching those! Even Vlog style videos are so fun & fall outfit ideas! 💕🍂🍁 Love old school fall videos 😊

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I seriously teared up. I know exactly what this feels like. Take your time with yourself and figuring it all out! Your true fans will always be here for you!

Take care of yourself! You def don't need to apologize for your absence. Anyone in your shoes would probably experience the same or worse. Much love & prayers to good heath. Ps- you look stunning per usual!

I love that you opened up about this! It's so common and it needs to be talked about!! You go girl!! You did the first step...it only gets better after that! 💞💞

Hey girl, I have a lot of anxiety too. I totally know what you mean how it comes out of nowhere. Especially the chest tightening and panic like feelings. I’m so glad you’re going to see someone, I need to do that too. Sometimes we get anxiety and we just don’t know why. No shame in getting help. Proud of you and proud of you for being motivated to help yourself. ❤️ Love you so much! You’re doing amazing. Just take it day by day!

I’m a nurse and went through panic attacks for YEARS! As soon as I stopped drinking coffee, the panic attacks went away for good. Please look into quitting caffeine, it works....if you need to talk, or have any questions, pls contact me, I’d be happy to talk to you 💖

Casey! Loved your videos for so long! You’re always so real & sweet, never caught up in all the drama in the beauty community. Such a breath of fresh air! I love how personal your videos are & how you’re the one who does everything. You’ve been my favorite for a long time & continue to be! Keep doing you💕

Thank you for being so vulnerable ! Don’t be so hard on yourself. You work hard and have a lot going on! ❣️ I’m praying everything goes well w the counseling!

Yes!!! I love you!!! I’m watching this after a long day of preparing for hurricane Florence, so it’s much needed! ❤️❤️❤️

That is 100% a panic attack. If you have feelings of impending doom like you might be dying that is a more severe panic attack. I’ve always had moderate ones and had a severe one that lasted two hours and it was induced by a medical condition. I was dehydrated even though I drink a gallon a day. Just make sure your aren’t dehydrated or get blood work done to make sure nothing medical is causing it. Panic attacks are no joke . Some of them are so crippling that you can’t function or process any incoming information. Good luck girl! Spend more time on yourself and relaxation exercises and you’ll get through it!

acknowling you have a problem is really the first step, so good for you for realizing it! and keep at it, it really does take time to get better! get well!

Girl!!! So proud that you are trying to get help for your anxiety, I found having someone to talk to who could see things from an outside view was the best thing I could do for myself. My anxiety got so bad at one point I was 20 and couldn’t leave my mother or brothers sides for 6 months. The weather here in New Zealand is starting to get warmer we are coming out of winter and into summer

I’ve been waiting for this since you tweeted! Whatever is going on, I hope that you’re ok!

Casey, you are only one person and you are a major Boss Lady. You have so many things you are making happen for yourself and that is awesome. Something to learn before you turn 30 is the power of "NO", having healthy boundaries and practicing self care. When we bite off more than we can handle when we're young it can manifest and take its toll on us as anxiety and panic attacks. If you don't already say No, have boundaries, and practice self care (whatever that looks like for you) then please start doing so. I am 40 and finally learning these things myself and see where I should've started in my 20s to practice self care, have healthy boundaries with people and things and to say no and that saying no is ok. Kudos to you for taking the steps needed to take care of yourself, that alone is major self care!

Love you casey! You’re beautiful and so amazing to all of us. So sorry you’re going through a tough situation but proud you’re taking that next step 😘 can’t wait to have you back!

You are such a beatiful soul! Love that you keep it light and fun, and stay out of the RU-vid drama. Thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety, I suffer from it too.

"hints of dark chocolate and blah blah blah" hahah soo me everytime I read anything that says hints of things in it, whether it be wine, perfume, or coffee my mind reads blah blah blah

I love your sweater and I’m sooooo excited for a fall makeup look!!!! And omg yes fall🍁🍂🍁

Hey Casey I NEVER comment on your videos but I just love you and I've been watching your channel since late 2013 or early 2014. Anyway, when I heard you describe the anxiety and the feeling of empty my heart went out to you and I just wanted to tell you I love you and I am praying for the peace of God and the comfort of Jesus to surround you in those moments of stress and anxiety. I relate to you so much for different reasons one of them being that I've struggled with hair pulling for years and you're one of only 3 people I know of in the world who have struggled with that as well. Lots of love to you girl!- last week I was in Destin with my sister and we were hanging on a float in the ocean talking about your videos and how I feel like I was living Casey Holmes style on a beach vacation lol☺️ congrats on 1 year for RosieDaze!!!!!❤️

you made so much sense!! and its so relatable.. you actually described how I always have tried but couldn't figure out how lol!! Take care of you, thats whats most important! love you girl and youre in my prayers!

I get those unhappy butterflies all the time! i'm glad youre going to see someone! Take care of yourself ❤❤

After I watched your Tjmaxx trip and you bought those mugs, I went to my Tjmaxx and bought fall mugs that are really just Halloween mugs with dogs on them!!

It’s always such a pleasure to watch your videos! You are one of the few remaining down to earth and genuine people in the RU-vid beauty community ❤️

I think it’s really awesome that you are being so open about this! I’ve been struggling with panic/anxiety attacks so long to the point that I have supraventricular tachycardia now and I have to take a beta blocker at 24 to control physical symptoms because I ignored my issues for so so long and it physically hurt me. Take care of yourself!! All your followers will understand and always love you! ❤️❤️

Here in Texas it doesn't start to feel like fall until literally December sometimes thanksgiving isn't cold or chilly at all!!

OMG girl I'm so sorry for what youre going through! I am the exact same way, sometimes my body gets numb.I have never gone to a doctor either, but recently I started acupuncture and it's been working wonders. Today was my 3rd session, I go for anxiety and migraines. I already feel the difference. Im glad you went to your appointment and good luck girl. Stay Strong ❣ The makeup looks amazing 😘

Thank you for being comfortable sharing your panic/anxiety experiences with us. It's more common than people know or understand and I hope someone sees this and knows they're not alone.

Your such a role model and so strong. Always peace and love! The makeup was gorgeous and perfect

The rain is so soothing lol

I’m so early. From one rosacea girl to another I LOVE YOU ❤️ you’re an inspiration for being so embracing of your skin!

The way your explaining it is just fine it makes perfect sense... i go through panic attacks too & I'm 36 & have had them since high school & just now finally taking meds bc the coping skills wasn't doing it all the way but good for u girl for going to see someone about it!!😊💓

Thank you for sharing!! So proud of you for taking a positive step to get help. You should be really proud of how strong you are!

Anxiety is a terrible thing! I suffer every single day with anxiety and disassociation. Some days are good and some days are rough. I find that keeping myself on a strict schedule helps! Getting the right amount of sleep, eating the same times everyday, and keeping your day as calm as possible. I also hate to say this because I love love love coffee but caffeine is a major trigger. Caffeine definitely doesn’t help anxiety! So I drink decaf. But you’re strong so just keep your head up and try not to think too much on it because the more you obsess the more anxious you will be. Loveee you! ❤️

You’re wiser than your years Casey. Love you for that. Stay real girl. Ive not been diagnosed either but since secondary school, and having to speak publicly for projects and stuff.. it set it off.. it’s bothered me ever since, and Came back when I went back to university.. to the point I have to go to the lecturers one to one and beg them not to make me speak or give a presentation. Ill never be able to do it, and it’s not like I haven’t tried (for me it doesn’t get easier the more I do it), so I just try to not put myself in those anxiety-ridden situations .. anyway this is long winded but don’t be afraid to speak about your problems with us. You like positivity but it’s not everyday life so it’s refreshing to hear this sorts thing, thank you! X

thank you thank you thank you for always being 100% real with us! you are not alone in feeling the way you do

So glad you mentioned anxiety in your videos, I’ve watched since you first started and I always wanted to start my own beauty channel but I’m a mom of 3 and have a crazy busy life and deal w anxiety myself. It can be absolutely debilitating but so many people go through it and I find comfort in that because we find ways of coping and still live our lives the best we can! Being 35 I still love your channel, it’s been fantastic to watch you grow and become the amazing woman you are! Beautiful makeup look for a beautiful woman!!! Inside and out! Much love from Texas

I’m from Texas and yes it doesn’t start to cool down here till like November-December! Hope you’re doing okay Casey, and that whatever it is you are able to get help and feel better! 🌸🦄💋💕 xoxo 😘

I always describe it as a pop bottle being shaken up with the lid still on. I started going to a counselor for my anxiety last month and it has helped me so much!

can i just quickly thank you for being so open and proactive about what you're going through? it's so inspiring to see because i know you have a huge audience! and you talking about your struggles while being so open about getting help is going to also help so many other people. i'm so sorry you're going through these spells and i hope you're feeling better day by day, casey! 💛

I love how honest you are and gurll the amount of talent you have talking about something personal and serious but SLAYING that makeup look at the same time gives me life ❤️❤️ love you always and hopefully you might be able to do a meet up somewhere in New York someday!!

Update for the make up revolution foundation???

I’m from Portugal and today is sooooooo hot!!!! It’s like 100 degrees outside! But how we are in September there are those days a little more “cold”! I love Portugal weather....in summer is freaking hot, in fall we have hot weather but a lot more colder and rain, in the winter we have snow and in spring hot again but sometimes with a little bit of rain!!! I swear I love our weather😍😍😍😍

Girl yes !!! That butterfly feeling !!! I have it all the time for me it’s nervousness !!! But over nothing !! It’s just my anxiety and there’s no explaination! I do see someone and I’m so glad you are you will feel so much better ! I’m so happy and proud love you very much ❤️

I am so glad you’re addressing your struggle with anxiety in a video! After watching your videos for a while, I’ve seen several things that are much like my own struggles with anxiety. I just recently went to a doctor to get help. I’m so happy that you’re taking the step to better your mental health!

We understand, Casey! We want a happy, healthy Casey ❤

I can’t drink most coffee because of my anxiety. Caffeine is a huge trigger for me..

Casey you're such a breath of fresh air. We all have things that we must deal with, don't beat yourself over it. It's stuff we have to work on, give it some time. Thank you for being real with us and being transparent. A lot of youtubers aren't like you anymore and it's a shame. Love you, girl! XOXOXO ❤

Thank you for opening up about how you've been feeling. I go through it as well, especially when I fly. Good for you for going to talk to someone, it isn't easy! I hope you find some coping mechanisms and fond some comfort knowing you're going to be okay! 👍👍
