I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice who has been a therapist for 30 years. When you start to describe yourself as a career I wonder if you're a Highly Sensitive Person. I am too and it makes a great therapist. I think that issue with stomach is that when we are stressed digestion stops. We have a Parasympathetic Nervous system and a Sympathetic Nervous system. The Parasympathetic is called rest and digest. The other is flight or fight. You may want to try calming down before you eat. You are fantastic.
Me, too. It's difficult, but I find we highly sensitive people are more able to tap into things on a deeper level than those who don't deal with this. It's a gift, but must be handled carefully.
@@bryany6565 I was only referring to Highly Sensitive People. We can feel and sense things many cannot. Debilitating anxiety is another issue.
I wake up hard. My dreams hurt.
Oh, Corie…what a wonderful video! At 67 years of age, I’m just now understanding how anxiety has caused me to withdraw from life. I have always been a perfectionist and control freak and see how it links to the negative self talk that I’ve allowed to go on in my mind. Thank you for speaking about this and yes, I’d love to hear more from you on the subject! You are wise beyond your years dear one! ❤
So true. (Jane)
This is an awsome video, you have described anxiety to a T and it has made clear for me how Iam effected and others around me. Yes more videos like this needed, ❤
When I start worrying or feeling anxious,
I pray.
I remind myself, 'God's plan, not that of man.'
I know I am never alone.
Thank you, so much, for talking about this subject.
❤️
I was in the mental health profession as an applied Psychophysiologist for 30 years. You obviously have an excellent therapist. Corie ,everything you stated is top of the line treatment . Everything you stated was accurate and helpful.
Hats off to your therapist. But more than that ,hats off to you, Corie ,for sharing what Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior has done for you. What a wonderful testimony.
After years of doing bio feedback,neuro feedback, cognitive behavioral therapy and numerous other therapies for anxiety disorders,one thing I was able to see for a fact is that the younger the person is the have anxiety , OCD , panic attacks , etc ., the more likely their anxiety disorder is hereditary.
In most cases, the younger the person is when they get anxiety or depression, the more likely it is to be hereditary. Anxiety and depression can still be genetic if they show up in your older family members. But often, new conditions in people that are over the age of 20 are linked to traumatic and stressful events.
I see that you are a very good public speaker just like your mother. You were able to convey your thoughts clearly and concisely . Corie you are filled with empathy and compassion, which is a character trait that I appreciate so much in others .
Thank you for watching and sharing, he is a wonderful therapist, I am so glad to have him. Your comment really made me feel good, thank you ❤️
She needs to go into Psychology and/or therapist! ❤❤❤❤❤
A verse that helps me is “I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all of my fears”. Psalm 34:4 I’m sorry you are dealing with this.
I love this!! I’m writing it to put on my fridge! ❤
Corrie I’ve suffered from anxiety for years. Yes, Jesus is my rock without Him I would not have made it through. You were brave to share this because I am so well aware of how one can be labeled and stigmatized. Your suggestions and the incorporation of our Lord into all aspects of our life makes such a huge difference. I would appreciate more videos on this topic from you. I pray for you too and Katie and Granny and your parents and family. Thank you and God bless you. ❤🙏
Very, very relatable. I'm an over thinker as well, and have anxiety, too. Early mornings are the absolute WORST for me. I tend to dread the day and what lies ahead. To the point where it a affects my appetite; I have trouble getting food past my pallet, because anxiety makes me nauseous. I've lost a lot of weight this summer, and then I feel sorta ashamed for being "too skinny". The mind is a very powerful force.
It has been a very trying time this season. Talking and writing to God has been helping tremendously; my faith in Him has been stronger than ever. He does work miracles.
Corie , you are like a warm hug from a dear friend, and your wise words mean a great deal to many of us. Thank God for you and your strength!
Have a wonderful weekend, my dear! 💓
I have terrible anxiety when I think about this world! If it weren't for my family or garden i don't know what I'd do. Thank you!
Thank you for this Corie. Jesus has put you here and made you who are. Your gifts are many and one of them is to help people with anxiety through example. You are a warrior for the Lord!!❤❤
My panic attacks come from the fear of dying. I am a born again believer who has a horrible time accepting that God won't turn me away. My head knows the truth however sometimes my heart says oh you've not really been forgiven!
I just keep talking to the Lord and knowing and believing He will not turn me away that I am loved by Him with a live that will never end!
Thank you for being brave enough to share and being real...may the Lord bless you abundantlt!
I'm an old grey haired guy. I've battled with panic/anxiety for decades. I inherited it from my father. I was about 24 when I started having real problems with it. Interesting to note, my Dad was about the same age when it erupted into his life. Young lady, you are by no means alone in your affliction. A year or so ago, I came across an excellent You Tube channel, "Therapy in a Nutshell." She has some very good videos concerning your problems. Always remember, God cares about all of us.
Good thoughts on anxieties! Even though I’m a retired psychologist, I also have fairly severe anxiety. Diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder. I’m also a HSP. Growing up, I faced a lot of get tough pressure which made it so much of a challenge to exist. I began meditating & using the mantra “everything is alright for the moment, and I am at peace with myself.” Prayer has helped so much. I have times that I benefit from staying apart from others, I select 4 days to not go to town. I taught at a university & had a solo practice plus a residential rental business. I had to sell my rental properties, I got overwhelmed & over extended. Self-awareness as you said, is paramount!
Blessings,
Allison 🍁
Corie - there are more of us 'out there' than you are probably aware of. I can relate to much of what you shared regarding your 'symptoms.' I have anxiety, I over think things, I also have PTSD, and am Environmental & Chemical sensitive, with added allergies, which some of them can be life threatening, so I need to be very cautious on a daily basis, which creates anxiety. Like you, I also found taking everything to the Lord and placing my life and each day into His hands, has been my source of strength, comfort, and peace. He can lead us to still waters and quiet meadows if we rest in him. That 'resting in Him' can be challenging at times when our immediate situation seems so threatening, so that also is a daily focus on surrendering & trusting Him to take care of us. Bless you sweet Corie, you are such an encourager and present such a tender heart in your videos. 💗🙏
6:43 Olive startled me too, I do believe I jumped about the same height off my chair as you did at the same time…. Now that heart has stopped racing…. On with the rest of the video. Lol
Praying all is well!
Have a Blessed Day!
I thought it was a bear 🐻
Corie, I also have High Anxiety Disorder. Mine exacerbated after I lost my husband from the “Widow Maker” heart attack at age 50. I had to work for 10 additional years before retirement and from his day of death I just went through the motions of life. Each day got harder until I began to suffer from IBS-D which I still have to this day. Like yourself, physicians just wanted to put me on various medications, but after a while my best friend who is a True Child of God began to Pray with and for me. I retired 6 years ago and I am happier in “My World”. People laugh saying I am too young to be stuck at home, but I am fine with it. I still have Anxiety, but Our Savior Jesus Christ has helped me continue to get more in control of panic attacks and depression. Thank You for sharing your story. Your Entire Families TH-cam videos have also been a Blessing to Me 🥰.
I tell my daughter, “Cast all your cares on him” Tell the Lord, “Lord I will tell everyone about what you’ve done for me and help others with their anxiety” Your on the right track. Staying busy helps my daughter and the Lord blesses her and her family. I’m so proud of her in how far she has come. Plus you got a great platform and supporters that are praying for you. Where would we all be without prayers?
Amen
Corie, You have such a beautiful heart and soul. ❤ Keep sharing. You remain a delight to the Lord - and to us!
Thank you ❤️
For me…medication was the key to me managing my life.I have severe PTSD from getting run over by a van and now having a slow terminal disease. Therapy helped,as well as faith but I truly had a chemical imbalance and my anxiety was life threatening.Thanks to Escitalopram and therapy I’m finally feeling normal again but for most medication isn’t the answer ..it’s just what worked for me. These were some great tips Corie….in fact I could’ve saved 5,000 in bills from a Coping therapist because you said a lot of what she did !
Hi Corie. I relate entirely! I was in the hospital at only 2 years old due to my nerves/anxiety and had a complete nervous breakdown when I was in 7th grade...I pulled out ALL of my lashes at that time as well (which has a name I've forgotten). I've been an "HSP" (Highly Sensitive Person) my entire life, making this world a VERYYYY difficult place to navigate (thank goodness this is NOT our home!) Anyway, I'm 55 and my whole existence has been a terrible fight bc of anxiety! I could NOT get from one day to the next, even one minute to the next without precious Jesus, my Lord and Savior! HSP is hard to explain to others who have no understanding of it. It would be wonderful if you made a video elaborating on the subject. Thank you in advance! You're a true inspiration and I look forward to every video y'all post! You're such a blessing! Love from West Virginia 💙💛✝️🙏
In my opinion, you are very brave to share your personal story about anxiety. New subscriber.
Thank you and welcome 😁
Thank you so much for sharing your heart. You have no idea how many people you are helping by doing so. I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was a little girl. Everyone just thought I was an extremely shy kid. It was much more than that. When I’m feeling anxious or unsettled about something I pray. I tell myself that I am going to be okay and no matter what, God is with me.
I've finally met someone with as big a coffee mug as me. And you were blessed to have Miss Cindy to talk with you about highly sensitive persons. Thank you for sharing these things, they can be life-changing for many people. God bless~
Thanks for the advice and encouragement, Corie. I have suffered with anxiety all my life, also O.C.D. (counting things), etc. I actually would appreciate a little prayer for my hubby, he is struggling with something. I see it affecting his health, changing his personality, even missing work. I pray fervently that the Holy Spirit will move his heart. He actually ordered a Bible recently and I haven't been preaching to him! So prayer works for sure in this situation, and I think a few more could only help. God bless you and keep you, darlin. I pray for your family, too. 🙏🩷
Thank you❤ Everything you just described is how I feel all the time. A new phrase that I came across the other day, that I wrote down and have been reading when my mind starts catastrophizing, and has helped me look at things different..
"What if it all works out." Instead of thinking the worst and thinking things WON'T work out... Thank you again❤
I like that, thank you for sharing!
I emphasize with panic attacks, Corie! Although I'm not overly sensitive, I had a stressful job many years ago which caused me to be very anxious. I began having severe panic attacks that were debilitating. I found a less stressful job and the panic attacks eventually subsided and I am now free from them. I don't blame you for jumping when Olive made that huge racket! She made me jump too!
Maybe there's an herbal medicine you can take. I have anxiety too
Thank you so much for this video! Our daughter will be 27 in December and she has experienced so much of what you described! I have as well. I am 58 and of course in my childhood and teen years, even early adult years it wasn’t discussed, I was labeled a “worry wart” and people just thought it was funny that I worried. I am much better now but I will still rehash a conversation in my mind that I had earlier in the day to make sure I didn’t hurt someone’s feelings. We tried hard to get help for our daughter when she was younger and she’s doing great. I forwarded your video to her just now. I’m very thankful she is doing well, but even as young as y’all are, this is crazy but her pediatrician would not help her other than recommending a counselor. It wasn’t until she was starting college that her adult primary care doctor immediately told her he believed in giving her medication first to help. Anyway, it really helped her and she also reads her Bible, has other tools as you mentioned. So proud of her and her accomplishments in school, college, and her career. So proud of you and your sister! Thank you for sharing, you have no idea how helpful this video is!
I commend you Corie for speaking out about your anxiety. I work in mental health and you are on the right path. You can live a happy life with anxiety. It is just all in how you Process the things that cause you anxiety. You seem to know what causes your anxiety and you have tools to help you through those times.❤

I am having a hard time right now handling the passing of my husband. I know my Lord and my Family will get me through this but I am finding it difficult at this time, I am overthinking a lot about his passing, even though I know he is Heaven, Corrie you are a very special and talented young lady, Love you and your videos!!
Corie, thanks for a wonderful informative video. My daughter suffers with anxiety also worries about getting a belly ache eating different food. Prayer is the best medicine for her. God is so good.
It is hard to not be anxious especially these days with the news and world troubles, but you are so right, having a relationship with Jesus is the key. Have a blessed weekend.
Sounds like she got one once from a different food, and now she's conditioned to expect it.
Avoiding listening or viewing negative news programs help a lot.
Intrusive thoughts can be very crippling. I've really struggled with this for the past year. Thankfully, God is continually pulling me out of it! ❤
I as well have struggled with panic attacks. I went to a Christian psychologist in my early 20s and she put me on some anti- anxiety medication. It really helped a lot until I got much older. So I rely on the Lord Jesus to calm me down when I get easily upset or have been fearful of riding in a car. So I truly understand your dilemma at times. I'm now 55 going on 56 in January ❤❤ you and your family are definitely in my prayers. Much love to you and your family. God Bless y'all!
❤️
Hi Corie, I'm a big fan of you and your sister and your entire family.
Let me be one of the first to express my sincere thanks for you taking the time to courageously make this video and be so honest and vulnerable. Nearly every bit of your thought and experience I have had and many I still struggle with today. I so agree with your viewpoints on how so much of these things don't really need to be labeled. I believe the original idea behind labeling got lost and turned into something far removed from the intended purpose.
I mean I too have always been a highly sensitive person. Like so many quirks or dispositions we have it brings both positive and negative feelings and abilities. For instance I am naturally a good listener when I want to be and have a greater ability to empathize with others. It's positive because over the years I've had people tell me that I'm the only one who really understands them or who "Gets them.". Conversely I get real drained easily and sometimes take on too much of others problems. I always want to fix things for others and that often backfires and they may perceive me as having pity on them which is not at all what I'm thinking.
I was raised in the Episcopal Church and for a time was real active serving as an acolyte for 5 years from 11 to 15. As I got older I became less interested and for a time lost my way and got real depressed and started drinking and drugging. Thankfully by God's grace and answered prayers I got away from all of that and it's been over 30 years now. I am 65 and retired living alone and over the last 5 years I have increased my prayers quite a lot. And it is because I know more than ever that without God I am nothing. And by myself I struggle with my depression and anxiety but when I ask the Lord for help he always shows me some new way without fail. 🙏
I have struggled my entire life with many of the same issues. Thank you for making this video, and I hope all who are watching find comfort and peace. Here’s a book my therapist recommended: “Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind.” It has helped me very much.
Thank you, I will look this up ❤️
I will also look into this book. Thank you for the recommendation!
❤
I also suffer from anxiety,,thanks you for sharing,,and God bless,,
A huge help for my anxiety was:
1) Learning to set boundaries. Whenever I got anxious because of a social or relationship situation I asked what boundaries don't I have or what boundary of mine is being violated. Also learning to say "no" a lot more helped.
2) Mindfulness meditation. I use an amz book called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels to learn techniques.
3) Eliminating caffeine as much as possible. It was spiking my anxiety
4) Cold showers. Surprisingly effective...for me at least.
5) Journaling. Just pouring out any thoughts and feelings on paper and throwing the paper away.
❤️
Omitting Sugar will really help
Good subject and God's Word has what we need . When we are doing our best to live as our Lord Jesus wants us to then we know the rest doesn't matter !!! That then gives us a peace and joy only He can give !!! God Bless !!!
I understand completely what you're talking about 🙏
I saw this little saying the other day and thought it was a good one..."It's only a bad day..Not a bad life"💞🙏
Thank you...more please.I feel you put this together so well,and it will touch many and can be watched over again.Your self examination is amazing!😊
Thank you 😁
When I found out I was an HSP, I felt relieved. TY for your witness👍🏼
I believe our tests and trials through life give us our testimony. Thank u for sharing yours!
Ive battled with anxiety most of my life and your right, He can give us the peace we cannot find anywhere else! His word is full of promises to His people.
Your family's testimony has been a blessing to me...thank u. So glad i found ur channels. 🙂
Corue... i am 61 years old!!! Doncr the age of 17.... I have had 3 Best Friends!!!! All three have had Savere anxiety!!! All 3 we're on medications for the Anxiety!!! All 3 we're different!!! I think it's more common than people think!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Thanks for sharing, Corie.. I have panic and anxiety issues as well, and I don't know how I could get thru it without Jesus. I read my Bible daily and pray throughout the day, leaning on Jesus for help. Jesus is either using this to draw me closer to Him or to be able to help others going thru the same thing. Whatever His reason, His will be done! I may not like it, but I've learned I need to be content in the Lord and trust that He will take care of me. He will supply all my needs and He works everything out for His Glory for them that love Him. I know you know the verses, but I try to stand on His promises. I pray for peace and thank Him for His love, His care, His mercy, and most of all His sacrifice - my salvation! I also will watch some of your "Jesus" videos when I'm feeling highly anxious. They do seem to help. I just want you to know that they do help and I thank God for your faithfulness and you sharing God's word. I keep you and Katie in my prayers. Thank you so much for you prayers and for sharing. God bless you and your family.
Bless you friend, praying for you 😁❤️
That's a BIG mug there, girl! Remember that you are blessed, and your words are good for all of us! Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing! I have food anxiety very bad also! I lost a tooth from grinding my teeth ,I got very sick and got a bad infection I have dealt with for almost 2 years! I have most of my food anxiety because I am lactose intolerant, celiac,food allergies in general. So it is normal to a point but very hard to deal with, plus I am over weight mainly due to psoriatic arthritis, hard to get around, so everything I eat I worry. I have recently had to quit working because of it. Now our financial situation is a point of worry. I know this is just a season or a point in my life I have to face, and I know He has already gone before me and all things work for good to them that love God. I have to trust Him for sure
Peace be with you. thank you.
Yes, anxiety is no fun. I always look at it, what caused it, and then I remember God is greater than anything, any person, any problem. Give it to God, and then let him wrap his arms around you, in prayer and Bible. He surrounds us like the mountains surround Jerusalem. We are protected. Ive always been highly sensitive, too. The Bible says we walk by faith, not by sight. We are to take those thoughts captive. Thank you so much for this. Its a great comfort.
First off that's a huge mug young lady. I totally get it a lot of people have anxiety and it can be challenging. However even pets be stricken with anxiety which takes a lot of patience. Take care and God bless
You are indeed a blessing to all who have the pleasure of hearing you……🙏 ❤
You are an empath- very aware and very sensitive, old sensitive, wise, beautiful soul. You sound spectrum (not a disorder, a brain wiring), not a shrink. The need that something must be finished when you start it, you need a unchanging routine, sensitive digestive system, for example. Your brain is wired that way. I believe there is a positive flip side to being sensitive and people you help are appreciative and grateful. I feel impressed with your videos and you have talent. I don't see you as underweight, when I was your age I was your weight. The fact you use your spiritual path to help yourself is good and that you work at being aware of your thoughts that you are not your thoughts and feelings, you are not the anxiety, and you are not your body. Release your thoughts to Jesus (your spiritual path). I hope I have not caterwauled too much. 🥰
This is a wonderful video.
Very well thought out.
Very articulate.
I recognize some of the issues you talk about.
The 10 points you listed are helpful.
I look forward to Heaven for many reasons…one of which is that our minds, my mind, will be healed and restored to what God intended for us in Eden.
💜🌟💜
I have been a worrier since I was a little boy. My father was abusive and my anxiety and OCD have gotten worse over the years. I am now 52 and with the World going mental as with morals and crime it isn't getting better. I correlate with my life being in fast forward and I have no way of getting it back to normal speed. It truly is a horrible thing and because of this depression kicks in. It seems like a vicious cycle. The World was once a sane place but you would not know it anymore. Even Christianity is trying to be destroyed. I really hope you stay strong, I took a lot out of this video and will try and use some of your strategies. God bless you and this channel.
I will be praying for you friend. The world does feel like it’s spinning out of control and that scares me too. But then I remember, John 16:33 That God has overcome the world, that means anything and everything that could ever happen. ❤️
The Lord always helped my mother w/ her anxiety. Whenever I am anxious, the Word helps me too. God Bless You!
If I have to go somewhere that I've never been, if possible, I will do a drive by a few days before so I'm not caught off guard. I get anxious when I can't find a parking spot in an unfamiliar place.
I do the same thing. I make a test run and then allow myself plenty of time when I have to get there.
I have a hearing impairment that seems to cause anxiety to be hard to deal with at times, and I have found that just finding something to do alone helps me greatly. Being alone exploring or learning new things even meeting new people etc... This somehow refreshes me. The anxiety is always there but muted somewhat. Noises won't scare me lol but a little dog jumping on the bed at 3 am barking at something unknown is hilariously scary.
It makes sense that your anxiety would have increased lately. There have been a lot of changes in your life and those of your loved ones. I know people are going to give you a lot of advice and even diagnoses. My only advice is that if you are grinding your teeth at night, wear a mouth guard. Protect your teeth. Grinding your teeth can also cause headaches. It sounds like you are doing a really good job of dealing with your anxiety. Blessings!
I have some anxiety too and trouble sleeping sometimes. I recently got a weighted blanket and a sound machine and can say they have both really helped me.
Thank you for sharing...I also suffer from anxiety and all tips are so helpful!
Again, thank you, Corie for your honesty and sharing what helps you to deal with it!❤❤❤
I have so many of the same anxieties. It’s a battle for sure. You’ve given so many great insights here that I plan to watch again and again. Jesus doesn’t want us to have anxiety but he knew we would. That why do not fear is in the Bible 365 times, one for every day of the year !
I have severe panic attacks ptsd and worry to im 43 I think what if about EVERYTHING thankfully I'm on medication to help me n lots of therapy but I used worry why if I believe in jesus I can't be healed or learn to not panic n trust him more etc and I panic about food to but way more in the past learned that some ingredients or caffeine makes alot of ppl worse.. also my spouse can't gain weight n I cant loose it lol thank u for sharing such a private part of ur life I even feared my feet out of the blanket something could get me like my blanket even if I was hot n wanted to cool off I could not or I was afraid my protection was not there if any part of my body was out of the blanket so happy now I can sleep w no blanket ❤
As a kid I had no anxiety in my life. As an Explorer Scout we explored caves and I had no problems with that or any other dangerous adventurous thing. I am 77 now and a few years ago I was getting a CAT scan and as I was rolling into three tube I started experienced an intense heat starting in my chest and going down my legs and an intense feeling of fear building in my mind and I called out I had to get out of there. All while this was happening I was thinking what the heck was happening to me. After as a kid crawling through small caves with no fear why was this happening? The nurse said I just had a panic attack. It came out of nowhere and I had no control over it. I have always been a person in control but this was frightening. I cannot think what it must be like to deal with this or anxiety all your life. Thank you for sharing. Prayors that the strength of God wiil forever provide for your needs.
Thank You! Thank you for expressing this! I’m a 48 year old gay man that has somehow made the way from suburban Southern California to Seattle to Manhattan alone. I can identify completely. You have done such a rad job of explaining the/our nature! It’s so hard to explain to people and I had honestly given up trying. I’m not a Jesus person,but I appreciate your thoughtfulness and honesty. Honestly, Thank You!
Sweet heart you are wise beyond years. I have suffered from anxiety since i was a young lady. That eas a bit ago😅 anyways im still dealing with issues at night. To the point i think ive stopped breathingnright when i fall asleep. I dread sleep. I dread bedtime. I pray and pray until i fall asleep. I dont have answers. I am struggling woth auto immune disorder without a name. Im definitely have "flares" but no name. I think its made me worse because i dont know what im fighting. If i knew what it was i could make a plan. But i dont. Im a christian and i know im going to heaven but i am scared of dying. I feel like a phoney woth thses issues but i know God is using this for a reason. Just like you. Thank you for sharing. This has touched my heart completely
Thank you for sharing friend. You’re not phony, just human. Sometimes I feel like a phony too. But God sees our hearts and knows our intentions and that’s all that matters. I will be praying for you. Sometimes if I’m having trouble getting to sleep, I pray, or say books of the Bible or count backwards. ❤️
Sweet Corie, Thank you so very much for this video! I am 62 and have had anxiety most of my life. So many of the things you described in this video almost brought me to tears. Tears for you and tears that someone else deals with the same issues I do. I don't think you understand how helpful these videos are to folks. Please continue them!! I came to see you guys in Boone several months ago (The Danish whisk lady). Jesus is also what helps me thru my days! Without him, I am not quite certain how any of us would make it. You have a gift and we are all blessed by your family. I know i ramble!!! Take good care of yourself!
Very courageous video! Tk u for sharing ur experience w/ us on this subject. This is a strong reminder for all to be a little kinder to those we met in the day. U never know what 'opportunities' someone else is struggling w/.
Hey, Corie! You were very brave to do this. I have had anxiety for many years like you. I was tall...5'7" since 7th grade and weight 109 for many years. People were always asking my mom if I was sick. I'm sure if it happened now, they'd accuse me of having an eating disorder. After I hit 30, people's predictions came true and I gained the weight I had tried to gain for years. You described my feelings of anxiety better than I've ever heard it described. I worry about certain things causing me to have allergic reactions/asthma and it causes me to avoid certain situations. I do take meds and am so grateful that Jesus has given wisdom to our doctors about that. I am so grateful to you for sharing this. I think you will help more people than you will ever know. I appreciate you adding some tools to my toolbox for dealing with this. Somtimes I just get that feeling and feel like I need to be at home. If I can just be home, it will all be OK. Yes, Jesus is the answer. I pray and ask Him to wrap his arms around me and give me strength. God has given you an amazing platform here to help others. Much love from SC, Jane❤🙏
I accepted a new job and start 10/4, I would appreciate any prayers for relief from the anxiety of such a big change. Everyone around me is happy and excited for me but I’m struggling with “will I be good enough” “did I take on more than I can handle” “what if I can’t cut it and lose my job” and on and on. Thank you for the list of ways you work through when you have anxiety. Saving them to my phone so I can read when I need ❤
Corie, thank you for this video and your honesty. It describes me to a tee. I also did a lot of those things when I was a child. Even now, at 52 I still struggle with my worth and being good enough. I've been a christian since childhood but I worry all time that I'm not living good enough to get to Heaven. Even though I know it's all about grace not works. I appreciate you for sharing your heart. Love and prayers.
When anxiety is all you see, your songs of God's praise will cease. But when God is in view, worship can flow in spite of your circumstances. When worship flows, things change, because worship is a weapon that pierces the darkness.
The Enemy wants you to keep praising your giant, to keep telling everyone in earshot how powerful anxiety is. But, it's time to pump up the volume on true worship, telling God and anyone listening that you believe that He is greater.
"I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." // Psalm 16:8-11

I’ve experienced so many of the same feelings and found the Highly Sensitive Person description fits me as well. Perfectionism was destroying me and causing physical symptoms. Catching and redirecting negative self talk helps me too! Thanks for sharing ❤
Corie, I was looking at some past videos about cooking you did, 6 months ago. You had a sparkle in your eyes and seemed so happy. It made me think of this video you did… I wanted to say, I thought about 6 months ago and now and it occurred to me that you’ve had a lot happen in life since then. Be gentle with yourself. It takes time… y’all are experiencing a lot of new life events with aging family and life changes in general. Dons thst sparkle in your eyes and rosy cheeks again. Doesn’t matter how much we worry or fret, it doesn’t change anything, Gods will is what prevails. Enjoy your youth and be happy. It goes by so quickly! You and Austen go do something fun and exciting! Live it up! Life will go on, whether you are happy or not. Be happy!

I have terrible driving anxiety and it can be crippling. I have struggled with stomach issues since I was little. Ugh it's awful. Thanks for talking about all of this.
Bless you friend, you’re not alone 😁❤️
Thank you for sharing this. It helps so much I am 61 years old and I have had anxiety most of my life and yes going to God and praying and reading and doing as I should helps so much. God bless you and thank you for sharing. Thank you for your prayers. Love you all. Alisa🙏
My daughter has terrible anxiety eating out because she is afraid of ordering food, not liking it, and wasting it, especially if we are out with grandparents or extended family… she is scared to death of wasting the food which equals wasting money.
Also if she’s under stress her shoulder and neck hurts. We visited a chiropractor for years trying to help her with that but when she was learning to drive, which was very stressful, her neck and shoulder hurt constantly. Hearing you describe what you have going on makes me feel better about her, if that makes any sense, that these feelings and situations are more common than I realized ❤❤❤
Prayers for all of us trying to make our way in this world
Thank you so much Corrie! For giving & sharing of yourself. You bless so many by sharing your gifts from Abba. Am in my late 60’s & you never cease to help & bless me.
❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve felt alone in this for a good portion of my life. Everything you have described, is me. When I was little, I had a lot of stomachaches. I count things like tiles on the floor, and lights on the back of a car, etc. I’m 63 and have had a lifetime of skin picking. Some time ago I discovered that I’m a highly sensitive person. I’ve had impending doom feelings. I’ve seen myself as kind of a risk taker, maybe because I’ve forced myself to do things that are uncomfortable. It’s a distraction. I’m a perfectionist, but I find myself making more mistakes because of my anxiety. I’m distracted a lot by anxiety. God bless you❣️
Counting things can be good for you, as described in Better Eyesight Without Glasses
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this info for others to hear ,and possibly help anyone who needs this message.
I'll be praying for you and just anyone who needs the LORDS guidance through your times of anxiety, may he keep yall well.AMEN
Thank you ❤️
I had pretty bad anxiety for a few years and one day I just gave it to God to handle and I’ve not had anxiety since. God sure is using you to fellowship with all of us, keep it coming sweet girl🙏🏻
😂😂😂 girl, i don't mean to laugh, but CHAPTER AND VERSE!!!! the more you talked, the more i sighed and rolled my eyes. everything you said, i deal with this too! ugh!! it's TOUGH. i think i rewound this video and watched your face at least 5 times when olive scared you.
i'm highly sensitive, i feel deep, i have intrusive thoughts (not fun) and i recognize you are as jumpy as me. it literally HURTS for someone to jump from behind something and frighten me, but i'm easy and i get targeted. 🙄😝
i hate that you deal with anxiety, but it's nice to know someone understands.
hugs to you sweet girl!!!
Hugs to you, glad I’m not alone 😁
Thank you Corie. This will help a lot of people, Including me. Yes the Lord is the first to turn too. He is always there. It helps so much. Thank you and have a blessed night.
Dear Corrie, Me too. I have to go to the Word and listen to the Big Boss LOL. I love you precious little sister in Jesus! Can't wait to sit with you in Glory. Hugging and smoocing my hubby and grandchildren helps. Also toe tapping music helps.😘💖🙏
❤️😁
Go deeper!! Goodness, you spoke my “very private “ life.
You r so amazing yes I am on medication for anxiety and depression all my life gritting my teeth etc I love listening to you ❤
I’ve had the same thing since I was in my 20s thought I was having a heart attack went to the hospital all the time. It took me years to learn to say No!! I was a people pleaser. Always want to help family always was the one running to help. And yes I also was a perfectionist, but as I aged ( I’m 65 now) and I learn I don’t have to be perfect or always the helper. It’s okay to say I can’t do it. As you age you will learn what’s important and you will be more at ease with yourself. God bless you everything will all come together as you age.
Bipolar disorder here. We can all live drive and survive. NAMI is a great resource 😊
Thanks for opening yourself up on such a personal issue. I would never have known you had anxiety to this extent. I know you're sensitive and so am i. God bless and keep you as well.
My daughter shares your experience almost exactly .Thank you for sharing this video!
Hi Corie, I'm right there with you on the food anxiety's, I rarely eat out, I always have stomach woes when I do, so the thought of eating away from home increases my anxiety. I relate to most of what you go through, and look forward to listening to more videos like this one. May God Bless and Keep you as well.
Hi, Corie. I’m a little late to this video but know you are not alone! Everything you described about yourself is word for word how I would describe myself. It has been a decades long battle, sometimes with months of no symptoms and then something will happen and the anxiety rears it’s head again full force (especially during and after the pandemic). A bizarre thing that has helped me is remembering that at the end of the day, we all die and, for better or for worse, in a couple of generations, no one will hardly remember you so all the small things we stress about aren’t all that important. Now I know some people may find that pessimistic and depressing but that’s just what helps me take the pressure off of overthinking about things. With love from Texas!
Corie you are a young lady with loads of wisdom. God Bless you. 🧡
❤️
Corie, thank you for always sharing your thoughts & help with us. 😁
I have a Gratitude Journal by my bed. If I wake up in the night, or any time I feel down in any way, if I start thinking about all that I am thankful for, even the small things, for example hot water at the turn of a faucet for my shower. Just list as many people and things who are Blessings in my life (like the song Count Your Many Blessings), that lifts me up.
Thank you for sharing how your faith guides you with strength. You have a true gift sharing your message with calmness, wisdom! Thank you for being a friend to everyone on here!
I live alone, I have loved ones but not living close. Two weeks ago the ceiling of my garage came down on my car and this time last week my sweet little 6yo dog died after falling asleep here in living room. Your words this evening brought me so much comfort. Thank you! I’ve been blessed to find some great folks to repair my garage. And though trip to vet morning before my sweet boy passed,couldn’t find cause of his sudden illness, I’m grateful if he had to go, he died peacefully in his sleep.
Bless you friend, sending love and prayers ❤️
I have suffered from anxiety, agoraphobia for years! The most effective remedy for me is God! My anxiety has caused skin eruptions and overeating! I get you, Corie! Thank you! Please pray for me! God bless and much love! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Would love to pray for you friend ❤️
@@thepressleygirls Thank you so much!!
Feed your Faith and you will starve your fear to death. God bless you Corie. Love and prayers.❤🙏🙏❤
❤️
Been having a bit of an "episode" tonight. This stuff can be so hard. Thanks for helping me feel normal. 💚
❤️
Thank you for being brave and sharing. It is refreshing to see a wise woman not getting caught up as a “victim” by taking on an identity that is not child of God your true identity
Thank you Cori❤ God bless you. I understand. I have many anxious issues.
Corie, I wept through most of this video. God bless you for opening the door to talking about this topic. It is lifelong for so many. I truly hope you will speak and share more on anxiety, perhaps nightmares too, that plague so many of us. I'll keep you wrapped in my prayers on this too.🥲💕🙏
Oooh, I love your mug!!! And yes, we all have some or all of these feelings at one time or another. Thank you for sharing your feelings.❤
You are a blessing and you’ve helped a lot of people with this honest video. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you look like you would never hurt anyone at any time for any reason. I can tell which twin you are in all your videos, even as a young teen, because you look at your sister Katie to check in with her. You can see it in your eyes. You often want to know if she’s okay, if you’re okay, if all is well in the moment. To me, that’s really sweet. Thank you for wanting to help others! God bless and keep you too!
❤️
Thank you Corie. My anxiety began as soon as I was old enough to be cognizant of my life. I was raised by a highly nervous, anxious Mother who instilled her fears on me. I wish we could sit down and talk. God bless you and keep you 😘
