Shopping in London & Christmas Decorations 

'She uses her anxiety as an excuse to get out of things because she's lazy' 'Funny how she's anxious when it suits her' NO. Anxiety is not something you can turn on or off. It's not something you can control. That is the point. Anxiety can creep up on you at any time, and sometimes you may not even know why. It is absolutely horrible to have and stops you from doing things you want to do. She obviously would have wanted to support her friend. Its not fun to have to miss out on things because you feel so terrible. Which I would have thought would be obvious. It's extremely horrible and just shows your own ignorance. The worst thing to do with disorders like anxiety is to invalidate them in such a way as to suggest she could use it at will. You clearly have never felt the frustration that you don't have something physical to prove the agony you go through, only the mental pain. Comments like that are just ridiculous.

Good on you for listening to your body and mind and staying home when you weren't feeling up to it Zoe. I'm sure Ruth understood cos she seems so lovely :)

Wait... Christmas decorations? But... but.... but it's October!? It's like, early October! This is early...

Sorry to hear that you've been feeling quite anxious lately... I've been the same these past few weeks, I can't even leave my house.

Zoe is such a strong person, she has to deal with alot of stuff people don't always consider!

Zoe, things WILL get better for you, I know it will. I suffer hugely with anxiety too and you've inspired me huge amounts and I have have so much belief in you and your strength. Keep strong and you will begin to believe in yourself as much as we all believe in you. xxx

I don't understand why people are leaving nasty/negative comments about Zoe's anxiety. She has had to live with it for the majority of her life and I'm sure she doesn't want sick minded people like you reminding her about it. She films her life and puts it online and she does it for us, not for you to leave horrible comments. So has tweeted that she isn't going to vlog days she is feeling anxious because of people like you. Rant over.

Zoe. Ignore any hateful comments towards your anxiety, there's so many more people on here who love you more than people who say things like that, we're 100% backing you and so proud of all you have achieved 💕

I appreciate you have anxiety but to continue to be successful and take part in all of the things that come with being a successful you tuber e.g interviews, photo shoots, launches, tv etc you're going to have to get used to being in London... I've had anxiety since I was 12 and I'm now 25 and just because something makes me anxious like public speaking, large crowds.. I can't just decide that I won't do it, because if I did I would be sacked from my job, and live like a hermit. The only way to overcome the fears is to push yourself through I to realise it's not as scary as you think

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I saw Alfie and Zoe opening their playmobil advent calendars, I can't wait to see this years haha

Don't listen to the people that say it's laziness. It's not, you're my role model because you help us see that we're not the only ones with anxiety. Stuff the haters, they don't even matter. We look up to you because you are you, anxiety is a part of you. Like anxiety is a part of me too, and everyone else with it. However many times we wish it wasn't, it is. We love you because you're you, maybe you wouldn't be who you are today without an ounce of anxiety. Without wanting to 'just say yes'. That's why we look up to you, because you inspire us to achieve anything we want to, no matter what barrier or challenge we all may face x

Dear zoe Thank you so kuch for putting your time and effort into making your life a video, I know most just use your videos as entertainment but when I get stressed or sad i come home and listen/watch ur videos they make me feel safe and calm me down so thank u zoe for everything youve done

I had a panic attack today and I understand you so much... Mine are less impressive than yours but that's still terrible. But I think that if I let it take control over me it would be even worse. I almost never leave a place or miss something because of anxiety, I try to force myself even if it doesn't really get better with time. Talking about anxiety, your problems seem quite serious, but you never talked about seeing a profesional? (I mean a psychologist) why not? Althought, you and Alfie are soooo cute! He's so kind with you! xoxo

I know the actress that pays Pepper in AHS doesn't actually look like she does in the show but calling her an 'animal is really disgusting Alfie, people do happen to look like her.

I need to go in to Superdrug and buy RT brushes, Zoella beauty, Tanya Burr cosmetics and Ruth Crilly for COLAB.

your so strong zoe, i know exactly what you mean when your saying that everything being to hectic in places like London can make you feel anxious. and awesome to see you wearing your don't panic button! lots of love xxxxx

PLS READ :) If you look down a few comments you will see a comment by MsBeautyLover04. She is a prolific troll. If you have anxiety (or even if you don't) you can see how that comment would be offensive. I have tried to delete the comment but it doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Please report or thumbs this up. This does not belong in Zoe's community, a place that helps those with anxiety. Thanks :)

I've just made my Dont Panic Button hair pin! I'm going to wear it always. I love what it stands for. I suffer from massive panic attacks, as well as severe depression, that make me unable to drive and sometimes I can't get out of bed for weeks. I always feel so alone. I've lost all my friends from it because they "can't handle it". Like it's happening directly to them. So this makes me feel not so alone. Thank you for standing up for mental health issues.

Zoe, please watch my video on anxiety, I partly made it for you because I believe I have a way that can help your panic attacks!

PLEEEASE do vlogmas this year ZOZO

Sorry Zoe but I had to skip the whole part where you're looking at Christmas decorations... It's just too early! Am I the only one who can't even THINK about Christmas until Halloween's over? And once it is, I'll be super excited... But right now, I'm just loving thinking up costume ideas and rain and the different coloured leaves and warm jumpers... I'm such a seasonal person xD Okay, sorry, I'm rambling.... Love you Zoe, you inspire me and if I ever do find the time and courage to start posting videos, you'll be part of the reason :) xx

Thank you so much Zoe, I literally couldn't believe it when I saw you guys on my train. You made my day so so much, I'm sorry if I disrupted your journey in any way but thank you so much for taking the time to speak to me, love you so much xxxxxx

I'm so very glad to know I'm not alone in my struggle with anxiety. I have severe social anxiety and can relate so much when you discuss your anxiety and the exhaustion that comes with it!

I'm sooooo excited for christmas! Yay! Just make sure you feel comfortable at what you do Zoe. If you feel anxious no one can tell you you shouldn't feel like that because you already felt like that yesterday. Loving the vlogs!

Zoe, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you focusing on the issues of anxiety in your vlogs. I have suffered from a form of Agoraphobia for most of my life which means I find it hard to be away from my home, at home alone or be out in public without someone I know. The strain the anxiety put on my body eventually led to me getting cancer at a very young age. Everything is okay now and I am winning the fight with anxiety everyday but it is so hard to get people to understand how you are feeling. Friends would always just say 'well just don't worry about it' not realising that it is just not that simple. So once again, thank you for raising the awareness and trying to show people how anxiety really can affect your everyday life. Please let us know if there is any way we can get involved with this charity which you are working with. I would be very happy to tell my story if it would help other people in the same situation. Rebecca

i think zoes so strong, ive been watching her bc i really like alfie, but i saw her as a person in alfies dailyblogs but ive been noticing shes really still strugguling with anxiety and yet so succesful

Zoe i just wanted to say that you've really helped me and helped me recognise and familiarise my anxiety, its so scary and its really nice to know that someone else has the same problems (but also AWFUL because i don't want ANYONE to feel like i do when I'm really anxious or having a panic attack. You've answered a lot of my questions and its really helped me realise what is actually going on with me so thank you :) Xxx

Zoe as much as I love your vlogs, it is WAY to early to be thinking about Christmas. It's October! Instead of wishing it were December, enjoy every day as it comes along. Love you!

I remember I first subscribed to your zoella channel after I watched "my hair - your questions answered" video. random, but I can't believe how far you've come. so proud to say I've been here since the beginning. can't wait for your book (I've already pre ordered). question for other subscribers, where's the cheapest place to order Zoe's products online? I live in the united states

Relationship like you and Alfie please! Xxxx

Loved the Christmas shop!! The dry shampoo looks really nice. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

i really want to thank you, for being so open about your anxiety, i have anxiety and panic attacks for 5 years now, and sometimes it is really hard to live with the anxiety. i love how open you are , i´m from germany and it seems like no one cares about this problem in germany so i often have the feeling that i need to hide because people are not aware of this disease. you really help me to be open and to talk about my problem. i hope my english isn´t too bad :)

Alfie's new coat looks like Harry's from the Midnight Memories music video!

I think Zoe & Alfie's mom's relationship is so cute 😊

Take your time and feel better Zoe!! Love from France!!!

love your vlogs zoe! so funny and inspiring! love you!

My anxiety has got better ever since I watched u and listened to u advice ! Thank u Zoella

I shut down when I start getting anxious. So I completely understand your need to separate from the London crowds. My attacks keep me from doing a lot of things that I want to do. It really is incredibly frustrating. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking Christmas already! I've already got all of my diy decor planned out and I've started making sets of resin coasters for every family in my extended family.

I Really love watching Alfie and Zoe's vlogs at the end of my day and I don't know what would I do if they ever stop they're so calming and sweet I love it 💜💜

Anxiety is really not fun. I've been dealing with it for 20 years (since I was 14). It really does physically wear you out. After an attack I will sleep for HOURS. *hugs*

I just saw your tweets and I'd just like to tell you your brave, people like to put others down when they aren't happy with them self which is what these people are doing they see how good you are doing for your self while they have nothing so you should ignore them and laugh because you have a great life with great friends which comes with a consequence, ignorant, jealous people who feel like they need to comment on every move you make. Just ignore it!

I really love these vlogs Zoe! It shows such a real side of you :)

The Christmas decorations just got me so SUPER excited! Cannot wait for vlogmas xxx even the vlogs that just have you not doing much, I find interesting haha :P

I know how it feels to miss things because of anxiety, it sucks /: Seeing as its mental health awareness day I made a video about anxiety on my channel, this is the only time I'm ever going to advertise my videos and the reason I am is because its advice and I don't want anyone to feel alone whilst suffering from anxiety. Check it out if you would like to guys but of course you don't have to :) I hope your all having an anxiety free day and if your not I hope you feel better soon!

Halloumi is my country's traditional cheese. It is a Cypriot cheese, Glad to hear that you taste it!

I love your vlogs Zoe!!

I'm so glad someone else is excited about Christmas! I can't wait

your videos make me happy :')

Cannot believe people are genuinely saying that Zoe makes up her anxiety, what's wrong with you people?!? She's suffered with it for years, it's not something she would lie or pretend about.

Watching your vlogs makes my days so much better. ..

these vlogs make my day, everyday! love you so much!

Christmas decorations in OCTOBER?!!! Zoella, you are a girl after my own heart!!!

Zoe! I'm so glad I decided to follow you on RU-vid! I decided to wear the red button today for Mental Health Awareness, because I suffer from Anxiety/Panic Attacks and Depression. When I got to work today, one of my co-workers confessed that she was having a hard time. I told her what day it is and talked to her about breathing exercises that I do and gave her my red button! (I didn't have any red buttons, so i made it out of Perler beads and into a barrette) It really seemed to brighten her day! Which brighten mine! Thank you Zoe! Sorry for the long post!

Zoe ilysm you are a very big inspiration to me ! Love your videos

I love your uploading schedule because I can watch a new video every day while eating breakfast :)

I feel like Zoe doesn't actually want to do vlogtober and she is putting it on because we love her vlogs. I think maybe all of us should just suggest that she doesn't if her heart isn't in it.

I remember Alfie tweeting that he is going to get a pug called Nala or something? What happened?

Love it Zoe as always!

Love your videos Zoe! I have been watching them for as long as i can remember and i have always wanted to make my own channel and i finally finally finally had the courage to do it! so i have made it! thank you for inspiring me so much :) i also got really excited at the mention of Christmas! I am SO excited already! I hope you do vlogmas!!!! xxxx

There are so many criticising comments on Zoe missing out on stuff because of her anxiety. Grow up guys! Anxiety is a mental illness and it is not the same for everyone. It would be like saying I once had the flu and felt well enough to go to school so how come now you have the flu you can't get out of bed? This is ridiculous and very mean coming from people who are voluntarily watching her videos.

zoe, all these ignore all the ignorant comments are pathetic! how dare they assume what anxiety is like? people have different types of anxiety so everyone is different. why should someone judge your situation? They shouldn't. It's hard having millions of people watching you; it must trigger your anxiety even more. I love how down to earth you are, and how you can provide content with your anxiety, most people would have given up by now. Having thousands of people mobbing you. even in your own town you get hundreds/hundred of people yelling your name. We understand it gets to much, i understand that and hopefully others will understand too.

OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS! I'm exactly the same when I go to London, huge crowds and how busy it is makes me so anxious, especially on tubes :/ Glad you're feeling better now Zoe

I love your vlogs Zoe!

i remember seeing ruth in a vlog and thinking that she has to get into modelling, didnt know she already had loll! i hope her dry shampoos slay the crappy over rated Batiste, they look really good

The pinhead joke was a little offensive. Although the woman who plays Pepper is not a pinhead, many of the actors who are in Freakshow have actual disabilities and are sometimes described to be "freaks" in real life. Something that's very empowering about the show is that it's showing that these people are not "freaks." Just thought it was worth mentioning.

Loved the vlog,Zoë always the best ! ❤️❤️💁

I'm so happy you keep vlogging ❤️ love you zoe

Really hoping she does vlogmas this year !! ❤💕

I'm so excited for Christmas :)

i love watching zoe vlogs♥

Your makeup is stunning in this vlog Zoe! Reminds me of Snow White! Beautiful!

england is pretty early with the christmas decorations..

maybe thats a stupid question but do you eat enough Zoe like healthy stuff and not just snacks because if you run low on like essential vitamins (b,d and iron) and stuff it can make your anxiety worse thats how it is with me or when I don't pay attention to eating regularly through the day hope you feel better

I lovee your vlogs! U make my day everyday Zoe! I love your dedication to RU-vid! Love u♡

Last year i had it really bad, i was really afraid for going to school or being in public general because i felt like everybody was staring at me. After that i startet to be really worried for my body and i got it in my mind that i wasnt how i should be. I was crying every night and was getting really tired. So i started to skip school and just sleep home. But then you came in my life and showe me what i can make of it. So Zoe i am so greatful to have you in my life and show me a better way. ❤️Love you!❤️

I'm not particularly proud to ask this but: what lipstick are you wearing at the beginning? It looks stunning! :)

Zoe, I have heard that the best thing for when you're feeling anxious is having a banana, it makes you relax and calm down. Hope this helped! Love you :)

ilysm zoe you are such an inspiration to me you make me smile when im down so tysm 😍😍💞💞😭😭😘

Your advert just came on channel 4 and i FREAKED OUT! Soo proud❤️

Definitely wish anxiety didn't exist! Such a stupid stupid thing! How can we help stop anxiety? Love you Zoe feel better!!!!

Am I The Only One Who Really Wants Alfie To Propose When There In New York?x

Love your vlogs zoe

Ah I love you so much zoe you always cheer me up xx

your eyebrows are so on point

Zoella I'm sure you already know this but using avoidance as a coping strategy is really really gonna make it harder in the long run. its good that your doing cbt though...keep going even if you don't see the results quickly. you WILL get better. This is from someone who never ever thought it would get better. so if i can do it you will! especially as you are so amazingly positive about everything and you have great support. keep loving life, you make so many people happy.

I LOVE AMANDA!!! This was one of my favourite vlogs ever!

This is the only thing in a hour and a half panic attack that has even moderately been able to calm me down, I think the sound of your calm happy voice just makes me feel so much calmer. Thank you

ahh just sitting here watching your blog smelling the lush bomb i bought after watching your video. also dreaming about when ur book arrives.love you

idk why but i like it how SHE likes arabic food.....makes meh so proud....parents are arabic (Palestine) and me and but older sister and brother are born in australia.... (FREE PALESTINE!)

Thanks zoe, I have had a really bad day, and your videos makes me feel better.

Love you so much Zoe!

OMG :( i just saw your tweet I don't have Twitter to reply to you but I always just search your Twitter in Google anyways I was what you said about the comment I can't believe them :( your vlogs help me so much iv been having anxiety lately and it's new thing for me and I don't know what to do I really love you and support you and in so angry at the people that say it's an excuse it's an excuse just for same people it's a way of life :( I love you stay strong

THUMBS UP IF YOU ALWAYS WISH THE BEST FOR ZOE

I bought the little light up snowmen ,penguins and stars that You's were looking at in m & s a few weeks back, too cute!

Zoe, I feel you on the anxiety stuff. :( I have been out of work since the beginning of September on Medical leave because of my anxiety. Stay strong love.

some youtubers should really consider coming to Belgium, would be so nice to see them here one day =)

Some of these comments really disappoint me... I don't think anyone of us here has a right to tell her she's being lazy and not making an effort and that her suffering from anxiety is an excuse for her to get out of things. I think people forget that these vloggers are still normal people, they have the same feelings as us, they're allowed to have lazy days, they're allowed to feel sick and tired and sad and angry and what ever. It's ridiculous that people judge and put her down for her anxiety which she cannot control! It's an mental illness, it's not like you can say stick a bandage over it and carry on with your day. She's getting help for it but whats NOT helping is everyone on judging and criticizing her. She puts hours of effort to put out each video and all we have to do is click the link in our subscription page, sit our asses down and watch a video for 10ish minutes so if you don't have anything nice to say I suggest just shut your trap and watch.

Aaww zoe i hope your anxiety goes away especially when you need to go somewhere important! I love you so much and i watch your videos every day love you😘❤️ stay strong

I've always wanted to start a channel to talk about issues. More as a way to vent, but I've been worried about others will think, so I haven't done it, but Zoe, you've inspired me. I want people to realize that anxiety, depressions, any feeling whatsoever is normal. I hope I can help.
