Hello Catherine. A very honest video. My nan always used to say "If you're not feeling right(anxious), do cleaning. Clean the windows, polish, mop, sweep etc". Thought diversion. I also think folk who are heartfelt seem to suffer anxiety more. As you say it always passes and try not to question why for the way you feel. It won't kill you( another thing my nan used to say). Onwards and look up not down, look out not in.

Never feel bad about saying no to things. 1. You have to take care of yourself financially, physically, and mentally. 2. I do think that it also is less special if you are on all the time. Keep doing what works for you.😊 Also thanks for sharing about the mental health. It is common and hits many people. It could be a season or more of a long term issue...but speaking about it here helps break the tabu around it. Please rest and continue therapy...because it is a personal journey.

Hi Catherine - you actually may have helped me in a way you didn't expect! This is the Brooklyn NY gardener in the community patch; I just lost a job two days ago because they said I was falling a little short of what they needed in terms of making decisions. But when you said you were feeling anxious because you were doing much too much, and talked about how you didn't feel like you could make decisions - I realized "hey, THEY were making me feel that way!" I had more things assigned to me in three MONTHS than I had assigned to me in another job over the span of three YEARS. So I'm realizing that maybe it was simply a bad fit rather than me being the problem - they just needed someone who could do far, FAR more than usual. (I'm unemployed today and I feel better than I have in weeks!) Something that helped me keep my calm before that happened, though, sounds a bit like what you said your accepting what your nervous system was doing. There were a couple times when I was feeling jittery and nervous at work - but something I found that worked was taking a deep breath and reminding myself that "this is just how I feel right THIS second." That reminded me that there was a chance that in just a bit I'd likely feel something different. And very often that was the case. Another thing I'm finding is helping me is acupuncture - but I'm not sure how much of that is the acupuncture, and how much is the fact that my acupuncturist is REALLY, REALLY cute. (blush) We'd actually met a year ago at a free concert and I actually tried to ask him out, but he already had a girlfriend. But we got on well, and so when I thought of trying acupuncture I gave him a try. I think things worked out how they were meant to.....but goodness is he ever cute, and it makes the fact that he's sticking needles in me a lot more palatable. (You actually don't really feel those needles anyway, to be honest.)

@DaintyDiaries 2 месяца назад

Aw thank you for sharing. I’m sorry that the job didn’t work out but I really do think something better will be on the way. Your really self aware and I think that’s a gift when your feeling a certain way. I’ve actually been doing Accupuncture the past two months as well 😁 been getting it to help with energy and of course, anxiety 😁 Thanks for sharing ❤

Love watching you Catherine but can totally relate about that feeling of anxiety. Although a long time ago, I was doing a BTEC in Business Administration through my work at the courts. I worked full time, had a home and family also as well as study. We had to do presentations in front of class and assessors. I suffered bad episodes of panic attacks. Feeling I was going to die etc., until I had completed the course. You always seem a natural and we love all you do. 💕

Catherine, you are speaking my language (anxiety)! The woman’s name is Emma McAdam (Therapy in a Nutshell), I watch her too. I found her during the pandemic and her videos were so helpful for me. I am old enough to to be your mom or grandmother and still need to deal with my anxiety. But you do learn to get a handle on it and accept who you are. No, you are not in immediate danger and the feeling will pass. You learn how to lean into it. Be curious about yourself and what is happening and learn about what is going on. You will empower yourself to move on. I admire all you do and appreciate your sharing. Thank you for your videos! By the way, I am a cat lover too…I have had cats all my life. Our last cat passed in March of 2020 and we are done being cat parents now. I still doing gardening with the help of my adult son. It is a lot of work, but very rewarding! All the best to you!

Hugs to you, sweet Catherine. What has helped me is change in diet. Less caffeine--only one cup a day--reduced sugar intake, and more nourishing foods (good fats, good protein, vegetables (eat the rainbow). When I was given this advice in my 30's, I didn't think it was relevant. Then I discovered how vital it was in my 40's. I taught it to my daughter who is 22. I wish I had really invested in this when I was younger because it would've saved years of anxiety and medication.

Catherine thank you for your honesty, anxiety is a very real thing!! there can be things behind it such as brain chemistry and or environment, as well as heritability. Triggers are very real and can change or dissipate. also coping mechanisms can change as well. I will caution the terminology of panic attacks which as someone with anxiety and thankfully has only experienced 1 it is the state of not being able to breathe normally and can be very scary as in I can’t talk and I think I’m having a heart attack ❤

If one works a lot and is ready to take responsibility as you're doing all the time, dear Catherine, then he fights with an open visir. That means that you present a lot of yourself to us, the audience. Of course you expect from yourself to always be on point and never to fail like every ambitious person. Remember you're fighting on your own, this might be heavy from time to time. However, letting us all into your world does also mean that we are there to support you as you bring so much joy and inspiration to us. So be patient with yourself and take good care of your health.

I know how vulnerable it feels to be so open but it's important to "normalize" the conversation. For a long time I hid my struggles. I felt like if anyone found out, they'd think I was weak but the more you talk about it the more you see that you're not alone. Anyway thanks!

I have been meaning to comment on your book. It’s so lovely!Beautiful pictures and wonderful instructions! I bought your first book a while back and keep it out on my desk because I reference it so much! This one will have a proud place beside it (and I’m so proud it’s signed). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much love, from a viewer in Oklahoma.

I began to suffer from anxiety & heart palpitations when I turned 67. Crazy, I know…not like life has been a bed of roses up to that point. I was still working a part time job, my mother moved in with us when she became ill with cancer & then passed away, my oldest dog passed away, my husband found out he has cancer & suffers from memory loss, my son in law passed from cancer & my 2nd dog passed away. All of this within a 3 yr period. Never had any issues until 67. Life is crazy. 🤪

I have done NET, neuroemotuonal technique, it's fabulous! It has helped me so much in grad school. And it's so quick and easy.

I love your videos and your personality. I can sooo relate on the anxiety bit but just try to power through. Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou for being so honest in your video. I have lived with anxiety for more than 10 years now and although you learn to live with it, it's comforting to know your not alone in it. I hope you realise how much you help others just by being you. ❤

Anxiety, girl, terrible. Instead of running for the sabertooth tiger we run for ourselves. I love how open you are about it. Well done girl, well done. You give a voice to so many of us. If the feelings fool you, you need another way of treating yourself. I was a little jumping up-and-down toddler, and my teacher advised my mom to put me on yoga. I've been taught and taught yoga myself for many, many years. Most people say I am so full of power and self-conscious. Little do they know how hard I worked for that state. Living in the now, always now, in the now all is fine. It is all in the brain.

My Mum had to do public speaking, when she was a local councillor. She had hypnotherapy to help her & now she can spontaneously give a talk wherever she goes.😂..I started having panic attacks /anxiety when I started my menopause..I had therapy, but CBT I did it on line because of the pandemic ..I do the same as you & tell myself it will pass..Hope you feel better now..All the best..😊❤

Catherine, I am so grateful for this video! I suffer from severe anxiety and am also a RU-vid content creator, and although I love creating, it comes with tremendous anxiety & pressure. When I feel that way, one of the ways I cope is to watch your videos and I always admire your transparency. I'm also an INF- J, so a lot of what you were saying, I relate to. It helps to know we're not alone. Thank you for your lovely videos, your realness and your helpful advice. Have a lovely day and thank you again for this (and all of your videos- they bring us joy!)! Congratulations on your second book! Well deserved! Can't wait to get it!

@DaintyDiaries 2 месяца назад

Aw thank you for sharing. And yes, content creation opens up a whole other can of anxiety worms 😁 I try to take breaks ( more so with instagram) as social media can definitely make my head feel scrambled.

Catherine and anybody else on here. When I was younger many things caused me anxiety, in fact most situations had me panicking and at times held me back. I wish someone had been around then to chat like you have today. Thankfully I grew out of it by not putting myself in situations that I knew would freak me out, and although I never much enjoyed public speaking ,my job occasionally called for it and I had a routine to prepare and get me through. I am retired now and very rarely suffer. So ladies and gents take Catherine's advice and know that as you get older you become more able to deal with what life throws at you. Also have a read of Catherine's book's they will take the stress away to be sure. Xxx

I’m an INFJ, I am so happy to know that you are. I have had been dealing with severe anxiety since 2018 and I am finally getting my feet back under me. I am dealing with a huge out of control wildfire but I am not panicking so as to not flood my body with cortisone. Anxiety ebbs and flows. Every time I get through a challenge I reflect back on the situation and pat myself on the back for surviving another tough time ❤️❤️

@DaintyDiaries 2 месяца назад

I quickly flipped through and it is loaded with inspiration and valuable information that’s going to help me with decorating my new home and garden. Thank you so much for the time you took to make this book, and your last one also. I love them.😊 I really look forward to your uploads on U-tube. Have a great rest of your day!

Good evening Catherine....I would like to say I think you are a beautiful young lady who does most things all bye her self and yes you have to work and do some tv plus your book but please remember you are human. I suffer with anxiety most days . I'm 55 and list my husband 18 months ago to cancer and now I'm learning to do everything my self as my sons are all grown up and now it's just me. I'm super proud of you and how you can talk on you tube where I can't even do that. You give me inspiration my friend and any time you fancy a wee trip to Scotland please come and meet me and I will take you some where great food, great sight seeing and great relaxation. I want to visit Dubling soon but I would need to fly and would need a hotel near Dublin City. So sorry if I'm waffling . Just take time for you dolly and I hope you feel better soon xxxcx

Thank you for being the genuine you. I appreciate your sharing about being anxious. I can relate. Whew, I have had those moments in my life. It feels like you are doing a good job of taking care of it. I am so glad you shared a few tips on how to handle it. You are my hero. I love the fact that you have stepped out with not one, but two books. That is great!!! Take care of you, and just know there are so many of us who look forward to seeing you every week, just being who you are. Blessings and congratulations on the second book!!!

I was so excited to receive your book this week. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast it got to me here in Ontario Canada. It is a beautifully illustrated book and I got a signed one. When I saw you signing them in the warehouse I kept thinking one of those is mine! I wish you all the best with your book I know how hard you worked on it. The book speaks for itself it’s lovely 💗

Hello lovely Catherine. I thoroughly enjoyed this candid chat (anxiety is a beast😥). I can't wait to see what the mystery shrub is. So glad to see that your furbabies are receptive to smooches. My🐶 unconditional love and acceptance is a balm. Also, I'm so happy to hear you mention that sometimes the dodgey filming angles are because you're respecting someone's privacy👍. Hoping your week is full of sunshine and laughter.
