This isn't exactly what Claudia was referring to but does anyone else feel disconnected in a way that you don't 'absorb' your memories anymore? I think it might be a side-effect of self-isolation and burnout, but I don't FEEL like I'm in contact with the things that I'm experiencing. GOD how I wish that I could afford therapy.
Claudia makes some of the most entertaining content on RU-vid without a doubt! We're always so happy to see that video notification since all her videos make our days better. She's a true inspiration and while we may only have a few thousand subs, we hope our videos can one day entertain on the scale hers do. If you're reading this we hope you stay happy, healthy, and blessed!❤
I completely understood what you were talking about. I myself am there too. You reflect so much that you feel so disconnected because you are trying to figure out who is the new you. It’s nice to know that we obviously lead different lives but we can still have those emotions in common. Thanks for sharing.
@@summerbbylex27 me too, I feel like I am in a transition period and maybe that's why...starting a new chapter, leaving friends behind because they weren't really your friends. Reflection and growth is difficult.

hearing you speak about the exhaustion that comes from self-discovery and listening to your thoughts (because you have to listen to them in order to rewire your brain) gives me so much comfort because I completely relate. this process can be so isolating even when everything is good that is going on around you, but yet you still feel almost lost in yourself. i know that these are all good things but a funk can definitely occur and I appreciate you speaking about it. we are all in this together
i totally get what you mean but that’s apart of the path you take when you choose to go on a self growth endeavor but it always pays off cause you’re going to flourish!!! i’m so proud of you for choosing to question yourself and grow everyday! we’re all in this together… love you 🤍🤍
“I feel so exhausted by my thoughts” YEAH I FELT THAT. It’s like I’ve been in limbo for months, just trying to get back to feeling like myself while also trying to understand who exactly I am/want to be?? It’s so stressful to unpack, especially when you’re unpacking something new about yourself every damn day!
Just wanted to send a reminder, that with starting therapy, you usually feel worse before you feel better♥️ so the funk is probably normal! I’m proud of you for doing this inner work, and hopefully your life and relationships and inner peace will be better as a result, and your future self will thank you for doing this difficult work. Sending you lots of love and patience x
I think that comes with therapy and the constant need to reflect on your decisions, at least I’ve noticed that with my experience. That is why I usually take some months off. I’ll go for 6 months and take 2 months off on and off to put my thoughts into action and take a break from thinking about every decision I make so much
It’s completely normal when your growing into a new person a part of your brain is grieving your past self and questions everything because it’s unfamiliar. It’s a weird phase but eventually you’ll feel confident in your new self
I was literally JUST talking to my friend about how everyone is having a hard time right now it’s just so strange and kinda cool that we’re all experiencing the same emotions?? but also can it please end so I feel better lol
definitely in a funk, the transition phase that i’m going through and all the changes i’m adapting to is causing like a dissociative feeling i have with the world, the lack of familiarity makes us feel really low so yeah that was spot on
This video could not come more perfect. I am also feeling it. It's like I am constantly missing my train for the whole day, while I'm actually doing the exact same things as usual. So it's just my own thoughts. Something is definitely in the universe these past weeks.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this funk lately. These past couple of months have been a LOT and it feels like so much more time is needed to process everything. It kind of just feels like I'm on pause but life is still going? Thank you for opening up and sharing out, I really appreciate it and it makes me really happy because I feel less alone and I'm glad that it makes everyone else feel less alone too! thank you for these vlogs and thank you for always giving us your all even when you feel the most burnt out! we love you!
Idk what it is but Claudia just makes me happy, her personality humour everything is so amazing. I hope you know how many people love and appreciate you
I feel really disconnected from my surroundings too, almost dissociating through life but I guess that's bound to happen when a lot of internal work is being done. It's an unnerving time but we'll get out the other end so much stronger 💕 Hope you feel better claudia we love youu 🇧🇩
Honestly? I love watching your videos because you make it seem like we’re on like a FaceTime call. You talk to us like we’re all close friends that you’ve known for years and in someway that rings true considering I have watched your videos for year. It makes your videos just so much personal when you make everyone feel like we’re just talking to a friend not oh hello “fans” or “subscribers” but just a calm conversation. Thank you for that ❤️ I’m always looking forward to your videos!
I can relate to what you’re talking about at the end. When I feel like I’m just going through the motions, sometimes I don’t feel like I have anything special going on in my own life, nothing that’s exciting that’s just for me-that’s when I try to get out of my own head and live in the moment, smell the flowers, and know my time will be back and I’ll be “ in it” again. You can miss the good parts of being human if you don’t let yourself just “be” sometimes.
Claudia I relate to you so much. This year I was first in my family to graduate college, got sober and got my first job as a job in New York. My life feels like it’s happenings to me when that’s not how life is meant to feel. I’m just grounding myself in the thought that it’s all a part of healing. Healing isn’t linear. Love you and thinking of you. 🤍
CLAUDIA i have felt the exact same way. i recently made a huge career decision and that lifted some of the weight i was feeling but not too long after i just fell into a funk like you're talking about. i was unmotivated and pessimistic which is the COMPLETE opposite of how i usually am and it. just. sucked. i swear there's something in the air because i'm only now kind of getting over it but hearing you're feeling something even remotely similar is so comforting. thank u for being so open
when i saw the title of this video i felt so relieved because i am going through the biggest slump right now. definitely a mix of fall gloomies and self didcovery inflicted isolation. you aren’t alone sis
I feel you when you say it's isolating mentally but so social physically. I think it just means what we're growing mentally. And it just changes the self concept because what we've been feeling for past 2 years is reflecting in our growth now. now that we're back in our routine, it feels surreal that everything is almost back to normal. We're being grateful in a way. Btw lysm.
Oh God DID I ever relate to something more than the "Emotional Cocooning" bit? I'm a college freshman, just started classes and I've changed my stream from Science (Biology+Mathematics) to English Honors (Psychology minor), it's a very judged decision in India, I feel so free but so intimidated. I'm making amazing new friends and rekindling old relationships, I'm back on social media after 4 years and I feel good but everything and everyone feels so disconnected. My old support system is now spread all across the world and my new friendships are well...new so they're pretty superficial right now. It's a lot but great to know that someone absolutely (physically and lifestyle-wise) different from me living across the world feels the same. Thank you, Claudia Di (Di is something we call our elder sisters in India) =) Have a good day
I’m from India and I can totally understand the judgement for changing your stream since I did it myself (I went from PCM to History Major :P) but I promise if you’re into it, then you’ll realise it was the best decision you ever made! I hope everything works out for you 💞
Yup I feel ya. You’re in that phase where you’ve been doing so much work on yourself and not seeing all the results now. I’ve been there, at some point you feel like it’s not going to shift but it will! Also meditation baby! I know, I know… but it will really help with not being in your head all the time, it will give you space and clarity and you’ll be able to roll with things more easily. You’ll be in control and not the other way around! 😉 Self work takes time too, it’s not linear. Sending you love! ❤️🔥
Missed your videos Claudia! And yes, I feel you. Although everything is going well in my life at the moment, I can't help but feel quite lonely sometimes and always in search of something, that I myself don't even know what it is. Thank you for sharing! 😊
i know that feeling of alone-ness or separateness, but i never put it into the context of inner healing. in this light that feeling does make a lot of sense, because it would give us space to heal, so that we can exist with others authentically and with less internal darkness getting in the way. thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, it was really helpful and made me feel better about my own processes.
Gosh I cannot explain how on point your video is about being connected! I feel so strangely disconnected lately, despite being busier than ever. Thanks for taking the time to keep us in the loop Claudia! I live for these videos! 😍😍😘😘🥰
this feeling happened to me when I starter therapy and actually started working on myself the way that I should, and after some time I just felt connected again, but in a better way. now I learned it's all part of the process of finding yourself!
That’s why a lot of people just go back to their old bad habits, changing how your brain works is so hard! You can do it :) sending full love and support your way❤️
When I saw the title I immediately thought YES!!! I mean yeah, it's normal for a certain amount of people to be going through a funk or feeling disconnected at any given moment BUT right now it seems like everyone's going through it oddly simultaneously. I keep having conversations with friends where we both end up telling each other that we've been having a notably weird and difficult time. I'm not super deep into astrology but something must be in fucking retrograde.
For sure! I’m so glad to hear someone else vocalize what I’ve been feeling. I too have had a very busy summer, everything was moving so fast, we were playing gigs every weekend, planning our wedding which took place last month. And now that things are slowing down, I feel like my brain finally has the mental space to reflect. And it’s an extremely weird feeling. I’m hoping this too is just a transition, because I don’t think I like the way I feel. Just have felt very unmotivated and not as creative lately 😕
i’ve felt how you’re feeling! it sounds like you’re a bit depressed - not the standard symptoms of depression, i know, but it’s almost like the optimist’s way of being depressed! i think it might be because the world feels like it’s moving around you, not moving FOR you? with all your travels etc. i think if you set yourself some short-term (like daily/weekly etc) career goals (not just lifestyle goals) while you wait for those long-term goals, it will help ❤️
yes! 100% relatable. thanks for sharing so relieviing to know I'am not going down the rabbit hole of thought alone, thought I was the only one feeling this way.
I love how you captured your mood and feelings so authentically in this video and didn‘t force yourself to make this a „usual“ vlog. That`s why we love you :)
i love how you share your thoughts at the end of the vlogs lately, it is good to see that everyone question themselves daily in all directions. love you for that, making us feel comfortable with ourselves. thank you claud ❤️
Wow I can’t believe how many people are also experiencing this “funk”. I guess it’s kinda comforting to know that I’m not alone. Thank you for sharing this Claudia, I appreciate that you are opening up a dialogue about this- it’s really refreshing to see someone who isn’t just showing a highlight reel of their lives all time. Hoping it gets better for everyone ❤️
I can ABSOLUTELY relate to what you're going through. The constant conversations with self, the questioning and curiosity, the "would my higher self make this decision?", the aloneness but not feeling lonely. I've definitely felt that shift happen and I feel like I'm in the process of getting into alignment with it all. What I can't relate to is your glorious skin! I would love to see a "everything I get done" type of video from at-home to professional skin treatments you love!
I can totally relate.....some people might find everything so great in my life but sometimes I just get in this funk to where Idk im just unhappy... but I honestly believe that's just part of life and something we have to overcome within ourselves... thanks for being so raw and honest. I look forward to your posts each time and hope you realize how important you are to us. The people who truly appreciate you for being just "YOU" with so much authenticity. don't ever change! love your channel and your vlogs. you're an inspiration! don't ever forget that.
feeling the fall gloomies for sure, BUT i will also say that this transition phase feels really really promising. I hope most can agree, this time alone has really forced us all to question our individuality but it feels much needed!! Sending love to the next phases of your life! 🤍
Fall time is usually the start of new beginnings, for majority of our life that's when we start school and a fresh year begins academically. The older we get there is less structure around fall because most of us don't have school anymore. We crave that structure and something new, so go out and do something new. Start a journal, go to an art class, pick up some volunteer hours, literally anything new will help that feeling even if just a little bit. Fall time funk is definitely a real thing!
im feeling like this too but im so confused why and have started to freak out but it calms me knowing ALOT of people going through it hoping we all you know get in the fuzz again
i can 100% relate lol, i know a few people that are in a funk right now but it’s hard to remind myself that i’m not alone. school, life, and mental health are priorities in my life that have MASSIVELY shifted and i just can’t seem to get a break. hope you continue to be kind and gentle to yourself, claudia! 🤍
MY. EXACT. FEELINGS. therapy and the process of re-wiring our thoughts and patterns can make you feel so “not yourself” when i guess we are just learning ourselves in a new facet/point of view.
I love just watching you and Finneas and what you all do with your travels and at home. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hope your Fall Gloomies pass soon ☹️. Take care💝
I absolutely get what you're saying It's like things are great externally (in your life around you) but you're still a bit disassociated with it to a degree I'm going through a major transitional period in my life as well, where I'm really doing a deep dive into my health, happiness & progression It definitely is a lonesome/isolating time because while you have to help, assist & guide you on this new rewiring; at the end of the day the brunt of the work still falls on you I'm not sure if I'm making any sense lol; but I *COMPLETELY* get what you're saying & can currently relate in this moment as my life as well
I can totally relate and i think it kinda correlates with the change in season, with gloomy weather and darker days comes this internal introspection and like 'okay its winter, its cold, time to stay inside and figure out who I am'. Where as the summer and the sun is all distracting and involved and full of plans you don't really have any time to stop and think about yourself too much!
It's not silly at all feeling dissociated from the world we are in. I struggle with that more than I admit it, but I've been working on accepting the fact that I'm not always feeling great and giving me permission to feel and analyze more what I'm dealing with in the moment. So to the question: YES, I've been also feeling so funky lately, hope it gets better for all of us!
Yes Claudia I can completely relate to what you are feeling and experiencing. I think you hit the nail on the head when you described described the possible reasons for feeling alone and maybe it’s a little of everything which makes everything feel complicated and overwhelming when it’s not just one thing that you can work on to resolve or help yourself to get to the other side! I think we all are a work in progress-. You did say you are a creature of habit and like a routine, if you look at your life especially in the last month you have been on the go and out of your routine which is quite possibly why you are feeling off. I just wanted you to know you aren’t alone at all and I thank you for being so real honest and open not with just us but with yourself! Thanks for keeping it real as always Claudia, we love you girl!!
I think you’re growing into the better version of yourself… you’re life is changing, therefore in hindsight, so are you… I think if you approach this moment with mindfulness and compassion towards yourself- allowing yourself to feel these emotions… you’ll slowly morph into the silhouette of your destiny. If you see this… keep falling forward, you got this! And tell Finneas he’s a freaking genius and that I love Billie sooo much! I just saw her at ACL but I was so short I could barely see her haha I got in for free because I volunteered to keep the park clean! You all amaze me!
Yes I relate to what you say about your mental journey a lot to an extent where I get surprised, I mean it’s like we’re clones, and we even have almost the same birthday.
I feel exactly the same. I'm doing a lot of stuff right now see my friends every day but still there's this disconnection that makes me feel alone. You can't imagine how much it helped hearing this from you. You'll always changing. everything is temporary and so are these doubts and thoughts. Self discovery is a long, very long way which doesn't even have an end. You have to learn to accept the change that comes with the time and this needs time. You helped me to always see something positive in myself thank you for that claudia.
Girlllll I feel you SOOO much with this weird disconnected funky feeling! This year has honestly been so weird, but I think it's also just a time of a lot of growth, change and transition. But we'll make it out on the other end and I have a feeling it's going to be absolutely beautiful!
I 100% resonate with how you are feeling about doing all this inner work. I've been on an inward journey with myself & my spirituality, this past year and though its been beautiful & there's been so much growth, I've felt so isolated as well & it feels like a very transitional, weird phase of self. I am usually a very intuitive person but I feel so disconnected lately & have really struggled to stay present. Sending you lots of love & hoping these phases or over for us both soon! 🌷
Literally my thought process my entire life!! But I feel like this is something that comes with being self aware.. or overly self aware. I’m still trying to figure this out. I used to be very influenced by my emotions, but now that I am understanding them more, I feel something, identify that and then ponder on how I want to react. Life feels a bit more boring, but also more stable and predictable. (IDK if this makes sense lol) But yeah, I just feel myself just watching/processing my life more. I am working on trying to live in the moment and find positivity in that. Where before, I was thinking too much about the future, or too much about the past and I felt too excited or too depressed. Now its this consistent line of feeling okay, and I now have the power to turn that up or down lol. The issue is finding inspiration to do that and take action in the moment.
Oh I relate hard. I'm also discovering how things that happened in my childhood affect EVERY single aspect in my life, most of all thoughts and choices. So now I'm seeing the problem, now is how to fix it in a healthy way. So I'm also rethinking my thoughts from the new perspective, and how to redo that without all the negative/emotional response. Growth HURTS and it is damn tiring. Life is a fucked up rollercoaster with no lap belt, ya just hang on the best you can and adapt. I'm also too hard on myself, way too hard. Saw something on TikTok, person talking about how mean they are to themselves and thinking, "I would never have a friend in my life that treated me the way I treat me." Hit me hard haha. Much love to you 3
whenever I watch your videos it takes me out of any kind of funk I'm feeling and inspires me to live with greater perspective, to take a step back and appreciate my week or my life. so thank you for that!
yesss girl i feel you. Recently my anxiety and negative self talk has been so bad but just like you i'm ready to be over these feelings! i know that everything is temporary and that even this too shall pass. I thank you though for creating such a warm and welcoming space that encourages self growth and appreciation for life!! You are amazing xxx
the last 6 months of my life have been heavy like re thinking my entire life and processing trauma and dealing with so much stuff internally, rewiring how my brain thinks, so much stuff, and it is totally isolating like you said. I think as fall comes, even if im excited for the change in weather, it still feels gloomy and my mind feels gloomy as a result. Productivity wise I also feel so stuck where I feel like im not doing anything even if I am making small strides.
I feel you so much Claudia. This year has been so exhausting and you just worded all of my thoughts so perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings, it's really refreshing to see someone on the internet talk about something I can relate to and I really hope we can get out of this funk soon!
i appreciate you for expressing how you feel and being vulnerable with your audience. I feel i'm in the exact same phase in my life and it's definitely uncomfortable for me. The circumstances I face I'm certain is shaping and helping to prepare me for the next stage in my life. This in between feeling's like a buffer of letting go the person I was and becoming the person I need to be. Thank you for sharing, always love your videos.
I think that everyone at some time or another especially during this time of the year feels what you are feeling Claudia. I just think that you are more in touch or " in tune" with your feelings than most. The fact that you can recognize and process that is self growth. Don't be hard on yourself. Embrace it and move forward. I applaud you for sharing your feelings and NO you are not alone in your feels😘 Much love 💕
I can definitely relate to the self reflecting feeling you describe. I can be social but internalize certain aspects of my life as I try to figure things out. Thanks for sharing that tidbit with us!
