My GERD used to be unbearable. I realized two months ago that was because I was drinking too much water. If you encounter the same issue, try to work your way down until you don't feel so bloated and vomity all the time.

19 and turning 20 in 3 months and i am 2 months post break up after being in a 3 year relationship and i feel lost and im questioning what i am doing with my life even more now! I don't have it figured out and I'm trying to do the things that I want to do in life. I hope this year I get a new perspective on life

That last one was the best part. I even experience that it is sometimes expected to have it all figured out at the end of high school, that you’re expected to know how you’re going to spend your 20’s, what job you’re going to get, where you want to live. It’s just too much to know when you’re not even 20 yet.

I am 19 and moved on my own to Ireland for college. It was a spontaneous decision bcs I didn't know what to do after high-school Everyone thinks that I have everything planned and that everything is going great in my life but in reality I am lost. I am so lost that I am stressing every single day about the future. I can't seem to figure out a single thing. I have friends that are the same age as me who already are in their 3rd year doing internship and I am still waiting to get accepted into college. You probably won't see this comment but your video put me at ease at least for the 10 minutes that I was watching it.

I'm turning 20 in two days and I am already freaking out. Comparing to others is killing me but when I see what is happening around me and in the world in general, I need to be the happiest person right here, right now...and in that moment I am... It turns out that our mind is the factory of our happines. And also, there are people like you, who can make us smile just by saying a few reasonable things we already know but we need someone's confirmation that we are not crazy, we are just people doing our best...and for that thank u🫶

I love the style of your videos man, so calming and you have a soothing voice. I managed to escape the endless loop of social media scrolling and decided to start my channel in 2024. I have procrastinated for way too long or I started something but stopped because I didn't see results immediately but I learnt that things take time in life, they really do. And honestly It's all about trying stuff out that's where I am today now. And I hope one day I can help others out by sharing my life experiences... To those who feel stuck, start now, think later. setting the first step is the hardest.

I'm actually at your age, and I relate to what you say. Hydration, nutrition, sleep, and exercise. That's what works best for me. Also, finances are important. You need to understand the basics. save money and invest if you can and at a young age. About "figuring it out" I don't relate to it at all, but I think it's from a finance point of view. "What do you want to do when you grow up? Figure it out"

22, I'm a late bloomer and I feel like I should be somewhere else at this point in life and I often get anxiety of my life passing me by. Anxiety is a b@tch, it holds you back from so many things, so many opportunities, I wish I had more self esteem and faith in my abilities and put myself out there more.
@joeykidney 5 ай бұрын
ugh preach about anxiety, i have a hard time with it and I will always be working on it but the one thing that truly helps me when it comes to anxiety about the future is to try things. It is to fail and to succeed and to look back and see where I came from. Having that perspective helps slow things down
