As a therapist I highly recommend seeing someone to learn to cope and understand and talk about it. Allow the emotions to get unstuck. Don’t hold it in it is traumatic and from living as an abled bodied person to now having chronic illness and it’s anxiety inducing and unexpected it’s scary. Your emotions are valid, you are not a burden, and you can still have an amazing quality of life no matter what. But definitely feel your feels momma it’s not easy, it’s okay to be vulnerable it shows great strength through your humanity.
Agree . Carlin I really think this will help relieve some of your stress and anxiety too. I think when we keep things bottled up bc we don’t want to feel like a burden, eventually our bodies are in overdrive. This can trigger flare ups in some conditions.
100%
You are so correct. 43 yrs ago I got hurt on the job as a nurse and have done everything you advise. My doctor said I might never walk again but I told him "I'm a woman and just watch me. I will do it just to spite you". I have dealt with so many new and chronic health issues since the day got hurt (6 back surgeries and last year I lost my right lower leg to a severe bone infection) which has brought back all of the same pain from 43 yrs ago. I was able to learn to cope with my pain back then and also talked to NeuroPsychiatric Social Workers 4 times since 1980 and they have made a huge difference in my life. Thank you for such valuable advise for Carlin and whoever may be going through any form of a chronic illness (s).
This is worded so well! As someone who was able bodied and now very disabled I agree with everything you said!
Great advice! The last few years I have had so many physical problems, but most of the time I appear to be ok. But I know people thought I was faking, even the doctor. Well I have a new doctor. I love her! She is the first one who not only showed concern, after lots of tests, I am finally getting the diagnoses that I knew I had! I have been to countless specialists who gave me less diagnoses or didn't seem to have any answers. This has been so helpful, and now I know everyone finally believes me! And I am getting the help I need, finally! I think Carlin needs to try another doctor. Hers haven't come up with a diagnosis after more than a year.
Carlin, have you tried eating clean? Your gut health, what you put in your belly is important. I watched another person have extreme migraines, body issues finally get a doctor who put her on a clean food diet and she feels so much better.
I love how real you are. Don't feel guilty about having emotions even though others may have worse challenges. Evan's right, you have been through a lot and it's okay and healthy to feel emotions. God gave us emotions for a reason and Jesus felt emotions too. Prayers for you all.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I live with chronic health problems. I completely understand how you feel. It is normal to feel sad and frustrated. It is normal to feel anger. It is normal to struggle to find acceptance in living with it. You are doing great!
I have chronic illness . I fought hard during having babies and raising our babies! I totally understand!!!!! You are so right ! God is always with us ! I had moments during hospitalization and major surgeries where I did the “ Why God “ ! It’s normal to have a feeling of guilt ! Your husband loves you he doesn’t care what he has to do ! Please start sharing with Evan !!! Please ! I am awful with sharing my feelings!!! I am the type that I deal with everything on my own . I don’t trust that I won’t fall all to pieces if I share !!! You need to get those feelings out , bottled up they can cause more problems!!! God has you !!! God bless !
🙏🙏🙏
I laughed so hard at your challenge. Carlins one two slap was hysterical! Evan was so gentle and Carlin was a beast!!! And the sound effects 😂😂😂😂😂
😂 I am pretty sure Carlin got out some of her bottled up frustration with that game! So funny. 😂😂
Carlin, you have every right to be emotional about your illness. 😢 I’m just still hoping for a complete recovery. You guys are the best! Enjoy your vacation! ❤❤❤❤
Oh Carlin! Never feel bad for having emotions & feelings. What you are going through is real, raw & scary for you. Our family fully understands what y'all are going through. My husband has epilepsy with the same type of migraines you have. And struggle to know what triggers what is hard. It's hard on my husband, hard on our son, & hard on me too. Evan, you are amazing. The support you have been for Carlin & the kids needs recognition. And you, as Carlin carer/support, also need to make sure you practice self care & have time to recharge. Keep smiling. Keep having fun. But, don't shy away from the emotions. Our family understands the trials with new meds, many tests, the unknown, & laughter, crying, sharing & togetherness - that's what gets us through. Bless all y'all! Your journey is helping others more than you probably realise. ❤
I'm sure you're so tired of all this Carlin. Praying for you. You are so inspiring and I love that you talk about your faith not wavering even in these hard times. You're honestly an amazing example not just to your family and friends but to all of us watching ❤
Carlin continued prayers. Carlin you are frustrated and it's ok to be emotional about it, not that you need my permission or anyone else's. Evan you are a Rockstar. Carlin I'm frustrated for you. Carlin it's ok to complain or talk about it because its whats going on in this stage of your life and consuming all your energy. EVAN WE WANT STEW CREW TSHIRTS! Love you guys!❤
AMEN!!
I’ve been watching all your videos from oldest to newest I just discovered y’all here as well as Tiktok (that’s where I usually stay and post my vlogging) thought I would share something with you and they have probably tested Carlin for this, but my daughter-in-law has the same episodes minus the shaking part . She started having the passing out for no reason the doctors couldn’t figure anything out other than she does have lupus, but they didn’t think that was what was wrong… she also did most of the test Carlin did but then they discovered that when she would have these episodes, her blood pressure was getting dangerously low and that may not be your case but she wasn’t getting enough oxygen to her brain so therefore that explained the dizziness, the disoriented passing out the numbness, she is now on blood pressure medicine for low blood pressure and her episodes have almost stopped other than the fatigue she experiences.. I jumped ahead, so I’m still back about 11 months ago with your videos. I just thought I would see if maybe this would help but as I said this may have already been checked out.. I have followed The Bates show since the very beginning!! I miss it so bad but I love the fact a lot of you have gotten TH-cam channels I follow all of you.. I’m believing and standing in agreement for positive reports and this will all get resolved and be another testimony to share with the world🥰🥰
Your answer on your faith was one of the best I’ve ever heard! I love how real you are with us! This is why my 11 year old can only watch you and all your siblings on TH-cam videos. I pray that you will get the answers soon. You all are wonderful role models for the younger generation. We met you all in July at the boutique. My 11 year old said all my dreams are coming true! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Just because other people have it worse than you do doesn't mean life isn't hard for you or that you don't struggle with things. It's ok to have bad days/weeks and getting emotional isn't a bad thing. In my family we have a saying, "a good cry cleanses the soul." I personally think the Lord gave us tears as a relief valve. My oldest brother once told me that I should not mistake tears for weakness. That has helped me so much when I'm going thru a valley.
Look into holistic wellness, Carlin! 💖 I have suffered for years with weird chronic symptoms and my anxiety and symptoms have gone away since beginning to heal holistically, cutting out ALL seed oils, etc ❤
Sugar would also be a good thing to give up and processed foods are really harmful. We are just learning about this ourselves
Watching your laughter in trials breathes life. Thanks for sharing your story.
Praying for both of you....I have a rare progressive lung disease I was born with and chronic health stuff can be an emotional rollercoaster for you and for your husband, as the caregiver. When I'm struggling and discouraged, Joni Eareckson Tada always inspires and encourages me. Expressing your emotions is definitely important! Songs of Suffering is one of her latests books and she talks about how much hymns have helped her through many dark nights. She also has a lot of TH-cam videos and they are always encouraging.
Carlin, sending you prayers for healing, comfort and peace. Love and hugs to all of you.
Sweet Carlin, I am praying for your complete recovery and strength for you to get there. You are much loved by many and The Lord.
Other people going through the same or “worse” does not minimize the pain of your experience. The road may be long, but find hope in knowing that there WILL be deliverance. There WILL be answers. It’s the waiting and wondering that is so hard. But once you’re on the other side, you may even be thankful for the journey through the valley. Many prayers for you guys. ❤
My heart cares for both of you. The sincerity in your voice Carlin when you speak about your health is so apparent. Evan your love and commitment is clear. Your channel is strength for me. Many blessings to you and your family.
I love you guys. Thankful that you share with us. I use to watch your show because I thought Carlin was so funny. You are uplifted in my prayers. Your strength and resilience will get you through this. You are stronger than you know. Many blessings for all of you.
I was so sad when Carlin was talking about her emotional struggle with her health issues but I was literally LOL at the challenge. Oh my gosh when Carlin did the double slap! I love your vlogs so much ❤
Carlin you are so strong with how you are dealing with your health issues. I have migraines and have had them since I was 7. The summer is when I have them the most. I have had my sister watch your vlog because she has some of the same issues as you. You have given her the courage to get them looked into and now she has be diagnosed with silent seizures with cluster migraines. I will keep you in our prayers. I love the challenge that you did...great stress relief. Laughter is the best medicine.
I love you Carlin, Evan, Layla, Zade, and Izzy. Such a wonderful and beautiful family💖💙💕💙
Keep your head up, Carlin. You're doing your best. With God, all things are possible! Love you all!
Sending up prayers for everyone 🙏🏽❤️I hope you all have a beautiful Saturday.
So proud of you Carlin. You really have an awesome testimony. I'm so proud that you stand firm keeping God first! That speaks strongly to others. God gave you the emotions. You come from great stock! Ty for all your strength and for sharing that with us. I love your sweet family.
I absolutely love watching you guys! I'm in my 60s and am South African and so love seeing you guys live your lives in another country, on a different continent. You're so open with everything, thank you for the education you are giving me in my old age! You guys are amazing parents and are dealing with all life throws at you in such a mature way and with this awesome togetherness you exude as a couple. God Bless you and yours @stewcrew
I love this precious family so much! You guys are the most fun to watch. Thank you for sharing hard times with all of who love all of y'all so much.
Praying for you both. It takes a heavy toll on the one going through the medical issue and the loved ones/caretakers. Your consistent faith through it is beautiful. Blessings.
Thank you for being so honest to us and sharing how you feel. I have been a caregiver for my husband for 30 years, he cannot walk or has very few words. I care for him every day, and every night while being a children’s pastor. I have retired now, so I can take care of him better. I think faith only grows when you go through challenges like this, I know God is with me for me and always there for me. Challenges don’t change your faith they make them stronger. Hang in there you’re going to make it .💕🙏
I feel for you Carlin. I have been through health challenges also and know how hard it can be. Know that you are loved.
Carlin thank you for what you said about talking about this! I have health thing going for myself and my children. So keeping my faith is something I keep as well. Telling my kiddos that’s important as well. I love y’all and your families
Carlin, I admire your strength throughout this whole journey, I will continue to pray for your healing from this. May you stay strong ❤
Carlin is so pretty! Evan is so supportive 💛🙏🏻💛
Carlin you are such an amazing person. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest with your health journey. Evan your such a great husband. Praying for you both!
Carlin, I feel your pain. I have had cancer, and 22 surgeries. My kids were very young when I Was diagnosed. Then a bad car accident. Just have faith as you do, and the storms will pass. Like you, I have a wonderful hubby for 34 years. It will work out.
I love your family. Stew Crew is great, 1 of my favorite family channels. The challenge was too funny, and I pray Carlin gets better soon.
always praying for you Carlin!!!
You all CRACK ME UP!!! Love you guys! It's ok to be emotional about your struggles just so you don't get stuck there. God bless you and prayers for strength and healing!
Praying for you and your family 🙏. Love your family ❤️. I am dealing with a chronic illness and you can get weary but those that wait on the Lord will renew their strength! You are awesome Carlin!
Carlin you’re so fortunate to have the love of a good man. You have every right to feel emotional about your recent health problems. I hope you get real answers soon from the doctors which may possibly help you both understand and deal with the situation better. The silly game at the end of the video was just what Carlin needed, so funny.
Love you carlin. We met you at the boutique sale in June and our little guy still prays and asks about you all the time ❤❤
I love Evans apron!! Praying for you Carlin, I know it has to be so hard for you, but you are an encouragement to all of us. Love the challenge, I would love to see ya'll end with a challenge!!
Carlin you are such an encouragement still having such a strong faith and smile even going thru this struggle. I hope you have answers soon and feel better soon. I’ll be praying for you.
During Carlin's update all I could hear was the song "Through the fire" Such a great song while going through trials ❤
Your precious family makes this old lady’s day. Thank you. Take one day at a time, your answers will come. If you don’t want to discuss it don’t. The challenge was cute. Go enjoy your vacation and enjoy one another. Much love, stay safe.
Enjoy your vacation with your family. That is always my favorite times, when we go away with just our family. Making family memories is the best! It creates a special bond!
I’m a sixty year old grandmother and that tortilla challenge had me laughing so hard!! I didn’t expect to be laughing so much! Praying for Carlin.🙏🏼
Praying for you Carlin! Love the Stewart fam.
Carlin, continued prayers for you and love you all! Really enjoyed your video! Y'all are truly a blessing to others. Y'all made my day with your challenge at the end. Love you all and God Bless You and Your little Family!❤️🙏✝️ Layla looked so beautiful in her beautiful dress!
Continued prayers for you sweet Carlin. You are a great example of how to walk in Faith through trials and tribulations.
Sweet precious family. Keep the faith 🙏🏼🙌🏼💜
LOL love Evan's answer "I'm ready when you're ready", very diplomatic. A holiday with your kids will be great fun. I am so so sorry Carlin about your health issues, it is emotional and hard to deal with. Will pray for you & your family.
That was hilarious!!!!!! Thank u for making me laugh and almost waking my hubby up!!!! Priceless!!!! Carlin please keep your chin up. We are all here for u!!!!
I love you guys Transparency for real.... im still praying for you guys daily..... drawing closer to Christ is the key in our suffering ❤❤❤❤
The tortilla scene was hysterical!! I laughed so hard it hurt. Your dog's reaction was priceless. I thought he/she would grab one of those tortillas at any moment. I think he/she was a little worried and was ready to protect one of you. That pooch was really showing concern. Anyway, what a great way to release pent up frustration and bring it full circle to laughter. I applaude you.
Carlin, you are an amazing woman of faith. And I am so proud of you and it’s awesome that you guys live your faith in God in front of the world. Talking about your issues doesn’t make you a weak person, it’s here is so much healing in that. Please share them with Evan you would want him to share with you. I love your family you guys are great!!!
Look forward hearing from you guys every week. Loved your challenge this week.😅 Layla is just so so adorably cute. She's so smart. Sorry about the backslide with your health Carlin. Keeping you'll in my prayers, but especially you Carlin. I pray the Lord see you through this & everything comes out good health wise. Look forward to next weeks video!!❤😊🚶♀️😎😍☺
Evan and Carlin's vlogs are so relaxed and real that I feel like they're actually talking to me and letting me into their life, rather than just watching another video. Love you guys, and sending prayers your way! ♥
I appreciate that about them, I love their vlogs and feel like their talking to me!
Praying Carlin for you and the family. I recently starting have seizures. I'm a older man and I live alone and it is scary it's been over a year and still no definite diagnosis. My faith in the Lord has grown stronger though. It is good for the soul to let your emotions out and I admire that your walk with the Lord is being strengthen.
May the Peace and Love of God continue to bless you and keep you ❤️
Fun, faith, fortitude- this is what makes y'all so special! Love you folks and I keep praying for all four of you
I have chronic daily headaches since I was 6 I also have seizures. And a lot of other health issues. I totally understand your emotions! I am praying for you Carlin ❤
Hi Evan and Carlin, I truly feel what you are going through. I have developed migraine headaches myself this year and just now I am starting to have what I think are seizures. It is difficult because the doctor's can't find out what is the root cause either. Thank you for being transparent because through watching your videos it has really helped me have a better understanding of dealing with the aftermath. I also feel as you do that it has made me grow closer and stronger in my relationship with God. Thank you for showing me how to still have fun admist the challenges and struggles I am going through. I pray for God's continued blessings for your family. I also hope you all enjoy your family vacation. Blessings
You two are so precious, and adorable ❤❤❤❤
God never gives us more than we can handle. This is what has gotten me through my MS, going from newly diagnosed in my 20's to now being in a wheelchair in my 60's. Love you two and watching your kids grow.
It is so clear the steadfast love you two have for each other during this trying season! Praying for you! Have you ever looked into doing a parasite cleanse? There's often a correlation between parasites and seizures. Or even seeing a functional doctor!
Hey Carlin. Doing a weekly check in with Evan about how you're feeling would probably be helpful. The more you do it, the easier it gets and the better you'll feel. ❤
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Saturday afternoon and evening with the kids and sending prayers for you guys and the kids.🙏💖
You guys are the best! Carlin, your answer to the faith question was so touching! Thank you for that! I was cracking up at the tortilla challenge! I hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Such a beautiful soul you are Carlin! I’m praying for you and hope you get the answers you need. Thank you for this video as it was real and uplifting to anyone going thru something.
Keeping you guys in prayers! Blessings.
Carlin, please don't feel guilty about being emotional. You are human, of coarse you have emotions. Even if you try to hold them back, they are still there. It is healthier to feel emotions and process them, than it is to repress them. You are doing your best to take care of your physical health, and your emotional health is just as important. It all works together. I really feel for you, and Evan too, for what you're going through. I am happy to see what a wonderful couple the two of you are, and glad you have each other to count on. I hope and pray that things will get better for you, and that you will find your best way of getting through whatever life brings.❤❤
Thinking of the both of you. Continue to stay strong, Carlin and Evan! You got this!!!
We’re here for you and know that your family is in our thoughts. Thank you for being open and vulnerable
Hold on to your faith, sweet people! God hasn't forgotten you. I love your vlogs!
Love your positive and inspiring vlogs! Just clicked and haven't watched yet! Hope all is well!! ❤❤❤
Carlin you are so strong!!! Don't keep your feelings bottled up, you are going through a lot. Share your feelings with Evan, it will make you both feel better. Your faith is inspiring!! I know that God will guide your doctor's and find the answers you desperately need. Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us every week. God bless 🙏
Carlin, you are an inspiration. Keep strong in your faith! I have not experienced the health issues that you are going through, but I recently went through breast cancer treatment and having faith in God is so important! Having a great support system with our family is important as well and I can see by the videos that you have great support! When you feel down, know that God has got this and you have many people praying for you! Keep making those memories with your family!
Praying for you all through this trying time! Keep your chin up Carlin! You are so loved!
I was laughing so hard at the end of this video that my make-up looked like yours Carlin! Thank you both for the great laugh. Praying for you Carlin.
Feel the feelings Carlin, talking it out allows you both to share with each other. Going through health issues is terrifying, and emotionally exhausting. I went through a terrifying health situation years ago and it was the story of Job that got me through it (I know weird). I just saw this man going through all these things and his faith in God was there. You reminded me of that when you were speaking 💜… love your little family.. you guys are doing great 💜💜
We’re always praying for for y’all. Love watching yawls videos y’all are going to be OK the children are precious. Y’all have a blessed Saturday afternoon.❤
Sending prayers that there will be answers soon to Carlin's episodes.
I love you Carlin,Evan,Layla,Zade,Izzy
I love the Happy Halloween shout Layla says on a non Halloween occasion. She's hilarious!😂
Carlin, you are strong. Believe that you can and will find answers. And let your emotions loose every now and again.
The Stew Crew is here to keep you in our thoughts!
Evan, stay strong too! You’re doing amazing to keep helping with the whole family moving, even if it is in a Tesla. 😆
Stay strong Carlin, always praying for you. Love you ❤
Your challenge was so funny🤣 Hugs to you, Carlin. I've been watching your channel for over a year & every time I think of you, I pray for you & will continue to do so. Take care❣
I have followed y’all since u were pregnant. I love y’all. I have been watching 19 kids and counting since it premiered. Y’all are such a blessed family, every one of y’all. I watch all the ones who vlog as well. Evan is a great husband to you. Trust me when I tell u, that God has never let me down and boy do I have a testimony. Blessings
Not 19 kids and counting. Her show was bringing up Bates. 19 kids and counting was the Duggars.
Wrong family and wrong show.
Hebrews 10:17-39 and Hebrews 11:1 of course
Sharing what you’re going through, put these verses in the forefront of my mind. Such an encouragement even not being my own situation. Keep doing what your doing. Don’t not share your testimony. It’s worth sharing! Also have fun, lots of fun, because we overcome through our testimony and that’s where the joy comes into the situation :) so thankful that God gave us the ability to laugh!!
You hang in there sweetie. God is definitely holding you and will see you through. You also have a wonderful support system in your hubby. God bless your sweet family.
Still praying for Carlin! Don't loose hope and remember God is with you through this process! Love you guys God bless.
Praying for you Carlin!
Sending love to you all ❤
Praying for you Carlin. Definitely talk about your issues it is not healthy keeping things bottled up. Love and hugs to you Evan and the kiddos.
Carlin you’re so awesome!! And such an inspiration!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, I miss Bringing Up Bates, it’s hard to follow all your siblings on TH-cam, but am glad to catch up with everyone. Hope they find out what your health problems are and can get it fixed and you are stable soon. ❤
Once Carlin began talking about her health it made me tear up cause I know you guys have been on a bumpy road with this, and I know it can be frustrating having to wait on the medical system for results and stuff like that. Stay strong in your faith and trust in God. 🙏🙏 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isa. 40:31).
"Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him." Psalm 37:7 ❤🙏
Carlin I’m praying for you I have literally been walking the same journey as you from the seizures and migraines. I understand your pain. I can tell you have great support system. I know the Lord is drawing me closer to Him as I walk through this rough part I’m in. I appreciate when you do share but I also understand it being hard to share! Sending you lots of prayers and hugs to you!
❤🙏🏼 God bless you Carlin! And thank you and Evan for being such a open and honest people. You all are so very Loved! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️💞🌹
Trust in getting better. I was on Lamictal for almost 10yrs. I can’t tell you how many times I would have another one making no driving longer+ all the other things. This med stopped my seizures and I stayed on it bc I was so afraid of another. I had 2 types of seizures. Everything happens for a reason, we go from things. ❤
Love and appreciate you all! So many are praying for you ❤ God bless ❤❤ ALSO: Evan’s giggles during the tortilla challenge sounded like the pillsbury dough boy 😂😂😂
Carlin you are amazing, DO NOT feel badly about having valid emotions. You are strong and an encouragement to so many! Also 😂 I COMPLETELY BURST OUT LAUGHING when Carlin came in with that first double slap of the tortilla. Literally almost woke up my kid 😂😂 bless you both! Continued prayers for you all.
Keep praying & hang in there! I don’t have seizures but do suffer from migraines. Even with all of the advances in medicine, we’re still a long way from a cure. The trial & error with meds to prevent, I could write a book! Find out what your triggers are. It could be stress or a certain food. It does get better. I’ve been suffering since I was 16. I’m 50 now.
