Sha'an don't be ashamed for crying or feeling bad about the health situation and the lead up to it. We are taught to minimise the impact we make on others and the services we use. I go in and out of the ER a lot in specific instructions from my neurologist because my migraines present as strokes. And I still think I'm being dumb. My advice to anyone when seeking emergency health care is try and think how you would advocate for someone you love, or a pet. If you feel unwell enough that you think you need to see a doctor immediately you should go. You are not the problem. We are not all doctors and we can only do our best. Please, please don't be hard on yourself because at the end of the day you got help and you're doing better.
@@IdleMagik ain't it great? My meds that worked for 8 months suddenly stopped and now I'm on topiramate and the side effects are AWFUL. Tbh dealing with people makes it so much worse! So many hugs from another brain pain person 💖 take care of yourself x
I started tearing up when you talked about the asthma attack and how you were rushed before the others in the ER. I've had a similar experience. I had asthma attacks when I was younger but never remembered them... until I had one as an adult. I remember not being able to walk because I just couldn't breathe and I started crying and panicking. Once my mom got me to the ER the nurse I had said "why are you crying you're too old to cry" and I couldn't even defend myself because I literally couldn't breathe! Some nurses are just too numb in the ER. I'm so glad you had someone who was comforting because having an asthma attack sounds simple but it is so scary. ❤️❤️ I hope you're feeling better and that anxiety has lowered now!
omg honey. for the whole first half of this video, i was sitting here crying with you haha. i'm so sorry you had that scary experience. i'm so glad you're okay. sending you big virtual squeezy hugs
Glad you're resting and feeling better Sha'an! If you're in Australia and aren't sure if you need a doctor, call healthdirect and have a free chat with a nurse! It's a government funded service that not everyone knows about, but they can tell you how soon you need to see someone and if you should go to the ER (and give you advice on treatment if it's not an emergency)
I’ve only watched half of this so far but I’m already getting teary-eyed listening to your experience. And I work in assisted-living with seniors, and I know what it’s like when people are alone especially during Covid when they couldn’t have anybody with them at the hospital and I think you’re amazingly brave And your reaction to everything is perfectly normal so please don’t beat yourself up over it. You’re awesome.
As a nurse, thank you for your support to our profession! I've had a same experience but mine was only a mild lung contusion from falling while skating (no SOB or anything like that so I got lucky)! I'm glad you received swift treatment. Right now, in our Canadian province, ER are closing down across smaller cities/towns due to the pressures on the healthcare system by the pandemic which is pretty scary.
Thank you for the update Sha'an. So glad to hear you are doing okay! I totally agree with you in regards to nurses...they are they superhero's of the world! I had my first operation ever at the start of this year...I was so terrified...but due to the kindness, dedication and love of the nurses at the hospital I was at...the whole experience was a very good one. Loved seeing you sitting on the couch with Tonka...super cute. Good luck with the packing and move, hope it goes well...and congratulations on your property!!! It is a huge step in life...hope you guys are celebrating!
Congrats to you and Rocket on buying a place!! That's SOOO exciting! Can't wait to see the moving process 💛 Also glad to hear that you took time to rest and recover. My momma is a semi-retired nurse and your little shout-out to nurses made me teary. They really do work so hard and do not get enough credit for the care they give 💛 Alll the looove
This was a really emotional video to watch! I was in the hospital earlier this year with a collapsed lung and it brought all those scared feelings back. Any breathing problems are terrifying so crying and panicking are totally normal reactions to that. The nurses I saw were amazing as well. They are so good at being supportive and calming people down. They really need a pay rise! ❤
As a fellow asthma sufferer that sucks like I legit know exactly how you feel it’s so scary dude all your feelings r so valid! Sounds like your doing a lot better!! Love you Sha’an💛💛💛✨
don’t feel bad about not realizing how bad things were at first. I had a massive pulmonary embolism in February. Thought it was just allergies making my asthma flare up a bit, and called my pulmonologist for advice when my inhaler didn’t work and my oxygen started to drop a bit. He told me to go to the hospital. By the time I made it to the car, my oxygen saturation had begun to drop drastically. I started going in and out of consciousness. My mom had to call for an ambulance. It’s really easy to miss the symptoms of something serious when they are almost identical to those of something less serious that you have already experienced multiple times before. A suggestion for you moving forward: Buy a pulse oximeter if you don’t already have one and keep it on hand to use any time you are having trouble breathing. That way you will be able to better determine how bad things are.
So glad you’re back in the studio! Congrats on your new home, you deserve it! While you’re packing and getting everything in order don’t forget to take in the moments and all the good feelings that come with it.
I would definitely cry in that situation as well :(( it's so scary being in the hospital because an ordinary person doesn't know how serious their situation is and our mind takes us to the most extreme places. I trust my doctors but I feel powerless when I don't know what's going on. I'm glad you're doing okay now 💗💗💗
So glad you’re on the mend! And so sorry you went through such a scary experience. Nurses truly are incredible - my dad said, in the month my mom was in the hospital before her passing, it was the nurses who made him feel heard and comforted. Our family is so grateful for them and their compassion during a horrible time. Anyway, here’s to you feeling better and better, and continuing to fill the world with art and light!
So glad you’re okay! And congrats on the new version of stability!! I always love hearing the differences like the chemist! I think here that’s the pharmacy or drugstore based on context clues. I hope you feel better about just not knowing! It’s okay that you didn’t know, no shame in that. You’re the sweetest! Thanks for being you!
So scary Sha’an! Glad you are feeling better now. Also you were in a critical situation, why feel bad that you cried? That is what our emotions are there for. Congrats on the home purchase! Cant wait to see it! Take good care of yourself.🤗🤗
Oh, I am so glad you are okay! Crying and being scared is completely normal, nothing to be ashamed about, I would have cried if the doctor told me to go to the hospital too! Doctors are amazing but sometimes I think they forget that, they know it will all be okay, but when they tell you what is wrong, that info gets swished around with all the ‘concerns’, ‘worrying about being ill’ , ‘worrying about wasting time’, and all the ‘unknowns’, that your amazing brain came up with before you spoke to them - and that is A LOT! And also… Congratulations on buying your own place, that is amazing and so exciting, I can’t wait to see the unpacking 💕
I love how everyone in the art community is somehow connected and I always find my favorite artists in eachothers video❤❤ asthma is so dangerous and scary,hope you're better now❤
I'm so happy your are feeling better and got the help!! I been the ER many times for POTS and have super horrible veins because my blood stays in my feet. So I've gotten feet IVs before. The best method of getting veins to pop up is too have a heat pad/heated blankets on for 15-20 minutes and to use butterfly needles for babies. Also when you're going to the er or blood work if you're able too, drink something with high sodium or electrolytes.
I was also rushed to the hospital this week after having never been to the ER before!! My heart rate spiked like crazy because of covid and I had to stay in the hospital overnight. It was very scary so thank you for sharing your experience, it was very comforting to hear you talk about, as someone who went through something very similar.
i've never been this early to a video!! love the updates and glad you're okay from that asthma attack 😰i've been watching your videos on and off since high school and i'm already halfway through college x_x!! you're def a source of inspiration and relaxation
I have two asthmatic kids (7 & 3) and this year, in particular, has been absolutely BRUTAL on their asthma. Every single cold has turned into an asthma flare. We've spent more time at RPA this year alone than ever before combined. It's so so so scary, as a parent especially, when it has to do with difficulty breathing. Thank you for sharing, Sha'an. I hope you continue to feel better every day!
Sha'an what a scary experience. I am glad everything worked out ok. I really hope you see this message. I have had severe Eczema my whole life (so bad I used to have to get shots in my fingers). I FINALLY found a brilliant doctor who basically cured it using light therapy. I have a light table that I put my hands (or any area I'm breaking out) on it for about a minute every other day until it clears up. The light table was very expensive so a free way to try it to see if it will work for you is to sit out in the sun for about 15 minutes every other day (use sunscreen so you don't burn if you need to) and see if it clears it up.
I'm glad you're better and you had such lovely nurses in the ER. What a beautiful mess! I feel the same way when my life gets chaotic, and it seems like there are a lot of exciting changes on the horizon for you Sha'an! Also, it was so sweet to see Daisy and Natasha. I found Daisy through you and she's gotten me into sewing, which is bring so much joy to my life. So thank you! 🍎🌈
Hi Sha'an. I also have veins that are hard to find. I have a lucky spot which I point out to anyone drawing my blood. I have to feel comfortable with a person to not get stressed about it. What is it about the word VEIN that makes me weak in the knees. Just got the shivers. So glad you are feeling better and blessings on the new chapter ahead.
oh sweetie I'm so happy you're well now! I loved how Tonks realized you were sensitive and quickly moved closer to you (though he got on attack mode for a sec lol). So happy for you and Rocket to have your own place 💛 And I'll be joining peachtober this year so I'm looking forward that prompt list! 🤩💖 Lots of love for you, Tonka and Rocket 💕
If it makes you feel any better I cried in the hospital too when I had an asthma attack, they suck so its justified, just glad to hear that you're feeling better. CONGRATS on your apartment!!! How exciting!
your asthma and hospital experience sounds terrifying and stressful-i’m thankful you’re feeling better and have been resting up 🙂💛 in the wake of all that, i hope the move to your new place is a smooth and painless process. big congrats! 💐
Don't feel bad about not realizing sooner! I personally know someone who thought their appendix rupturing was just period cramps. She's okay now, but she didn't realize until it got quite serious. It's hard to notice when the symptoms are so similar to what you're used to. You just have to be more careful going forward. Best wishes, and congrats on your new appt!
So glad you’re okay ;_; that's so scary! Happy to hear that you feel rested and much better. Sending you love and congrats on getting a new space to call home! That's so exciting! 💖 Can't wait to see more about it. So much love for u Sha'an 💖 thanks for sharing
I'm so sorry about the asthma - that must have been so scary. On another note I am SO EXCITED for you that you bought an apartment!!!! That is the best news!!! Such a cool achievement. I am so inspired by how productive you are. Sending healing vibes and hope you have fun setting up your new home. Thanks for sharing! This was as always a very worthwhile way to spend my time.
omg i am so glad that you are doing okay now 💛💛Please take care of yourself as i know moving process + peachtober could be very stressfull but exciting ☺️ I cannot wait to see what's the next video gonna be
I'm so excited for Peachtober! I only started following you this year but I've seen the Pechtober prompts in the past and thought they were so lovely and open to a wide range of interpretation. Every year I try a prompt list and "fail" and say "I'm not trying this again" BUT I've taken a lot of time off social media and have come back to it more chill, I'm going to give Peachtober a go and even if I only post sketches most days that's okay :)
I went to A&E for the same reason. It's quite stressful and I could hear this old woman who had COVID and she was so distressed. Plus there's no support person allowed in with anyone so literally people are alone and sick. I was grateful I got to go home the next day after they pumped me full of steroids, antibiotics for a chest infection and Ventolin etc. Thanks for making great content. I enjoyed watching you tidy your home etc. I love vlog style videos. Sending you lots of love from this Kiwi now living on the Gold Coast. Rachelle xo
ah I got so scared when I saw the thumbnail of you in the hospital!! So glad you feel better, that’s a very scary experience. Congrats on buying a place!
SO glad you're okay! Also don't be so hard on yourself. It had never happened to you before there's no way you could've known. Sending good vibes and a lot of love!
So happy you’re feeling better! Taking rest / good care of yourself is so important and you’re so lucky to have Rocket with you. He’s such a gem! Another tip for fellow asthmatics: I put a mask on while vacuming because of the small dust particles flying around. It makes my night and next day a lot easier to breathe!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I just went to urgent care for a really bad eczema flare up, and I felt the same way- guilty for letting it get that bad before doing something about it. You can’t blame yourself for not realizing, though- the important thing is that you’re alright! Thanks for sharing this with us and congrats on the new apartment, sending love :)
Tonka has gotten so big! And your green couch looks so comfy. Wishing you a stressless packing experience and glad you are feeling so much better. And congratulations on your new house!! I'm a saver too but I have a long ways to go until 🏠
Sending so much good energy from here. I'm so sorry you had to go through what you did but I'm happy that you're okay and that you're back to the studio. Congratulations on your big new step! 🌼💙🏡✨
so happy to hear you're oke and feeling better!! As a fellow asthmatic I can for sure relate to that terrifying feeling of not being able to breathe, shit's fucked. Gratitude goes out to the nurses that made u feel safe and seen x x
so glad your health scare turned out alright! good on you for taking action and taking care of yourself. also i'm sooooo proud of you for buying an apartment!! i remember in an old vlog you and rocket were talking about how you'd probably never be able to buy real estate in sydney, and look at you now! 🥲💓
I’m so glad that you are doing better. That must have been so scary! I hope that you continue to stay healthy and I wish you and Rocket the best with the move. That is so exciting! I can not wait to see your new home. :)
Hi Peach! I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ve also been having health issues so you sharing your experience has meant so much to me and made me feel less alone. ❤️ get well soon!
ohh i am so glad you're okay!!! and that Tonka kept you company when resting!!!! sending comfort energy!!!💖💖 i know it's rly scary to not know a situation is that serious! i had that with my appendix and thinking it's a stomach ache until i had to get emergency surgery😅 i'm glad the nurse made u feel so validated and safe in such a scary situation!!!
Coming from another asthmatic, so sorry to hear that you had to go through that! Glad you’re feeling better Sha’an, your art makes me feel so happy so I’m sending some happiness your way too xx

I know how asthma attacks for even days feels... Luckly you have the assitant you need. The medicines sometimes make you feel like you are doing worse, before you feel better. I hope you are feeling better. I send you a hug.
Phew! I hope you won't need another ER trip any time soon! I had a few as a teenager because of asthma and it is so scary to not be able to breathe. And of course panicking makes it worse, but OF COURSE you're going to panic when you can't breathe! All the best Sha'an!
I‘m so sorry you went through this, it sounds so scary. Very glad you feel better now. And HUGE congrats on the new apartment! Especially in ~this economy~, I sometimes look at property prices in different places for fun and in Sydney I was like…whoa… but so so exciting! Crossing my fingers that everything goes smoothly with the move 💛
i had a really bad attack two years ago and it was really scary to go through. i could barely get to the front door of the ER without passing out:( so glad you’re doing better ♥️
So sorry you went through that scare with the asthma and going to the ER!! I’m glad you are ok now though! On another note - can’t wait for peachtober!!! 💖
As someone who also has tiny evasive veins, in the future apply a heat pack to the inner elbow area, it draws the veins up to the surface, and drinking a LOT of water makes them bigger Nurses/doctors digging around for veins and bruising in you in the process is really traumatic, I feel for you. It’s hard to not be stressed when people keeping swapping and saying that they can’t find your veins I’m glad to hear that it all went relatively well for you, and that you’re now feeling better
I’m so sorry for your ER experience! My fiancé had a similar issue a couple of years ago and it was really scary. Keep pushing through. you’re amazing! Congratulations on your own apartment! Do I feel a moving vlog coming? 🥰🥰🥰 good luck! I’m wanting to buy a house so I know all the stress involved!
Dearest Sha'an, I'm so glad you're feeling better and had a chance to rest after such a scary asthma episode. You probably already know all about the link between asthma, eczema and inflammation/autoimmune issues but if you don't, or none of your MDs have ever mentioned it to you, it might be helpful to get tested for autoimmune disorders. Obvi, I'm just a stranger on the internet but one of my besties struggled with some of the same issues for years before someone suggested she get tested. Once she was diagnosed, she was able to make some basic changes in diet, lifestyle and meds and her health has improved 100%. She feels sooo much better now. I hope you feel better too. Thanks so much for your videos and for sharing so much of your life with us! (And I agree, nurses are AMAZING for what they do.)
Glad you are ok now ..💕never commented on your videos … you are my inspiration and gave me courage through your videos to start my own art business 💕wish you good health 💗
Sha'an, I'm sorry you had to go through with that. As an asthmatic myself, I know how you feel. I was advised by my doctor to cut all dairy products. It not only helped my breathing, it reduced the frequency of asthma attacks and also cleared my eczema, (which I too suffered from, for years). I don't know if you even consume dairy products, but if you do, maybe give it a try? So glad you're feeling better. 💛
I wonder if it's common to have asthma and eczema. I am on the contrary scarily calm when these types of things happen maybe because I know the NHS can suck. I'm glad that you are doing okay now. You are such a sweetheart I swear. I wish you all the best for the new house!
So happy you are feeling better. I look forward to your seeing your new space..and Peachtober. I've never done Peachtober before, is it #peachtober, or #peachtober22 or??? Thanks!
Be really careful with the chemicals of spray paint and varnish! I don’t know if you use it, but I always try to paint with a proper gas mask so I don’t inhale the huge amount of toxic chemicals. I hope this was helpful, wishing you the best health ❤️
Literally only 2 minutes in but that first bit totally felt like a montage from an early 2000’s movie. Idk it made me super happy and nostalgic. What camera did you use?
Whhhooppp nurse gang!!! Also I have asthma too ! I actually took my inhaler too much too instead of going to the ER and it caused a panic attack, it was the worst. I also have eczema both things are related to stress and allergies 🤧
I’m so glad your oki ❤️ you did the right thing! Just reminded me, I played unpacking weeks before moving just when that game came out and stopped for that exact reason 🥲 Didn’t want to double unpack! Xxx
Hi Sha'an, Happy to see you are feeling better!!!!! Looking forward to this years Peachtober😊it will be my first time attempting to finish an Oct. challenge! P.S. Love all your videos including this style of video and your ASMR video as well💚
goodbye lil whale tail, thank you for bringing joy!! Daisy seems like a very bright personality hehe! Little tonk meows meows are adorable ywy a beautiful sound ywy so many frens reunion haa!! so happy you got to have such a good time! OMG the sheep!! I can't believe he ate it!! but also same, i would probably inhale the bag with the fries you know!! rocket you gotta catch up with turning red!! omg sha'an i'm so sorry, it must have been so scary, you couldn't have known, you are not a doctor, we are not taught about some things even though we can have illnesses all of our lives ywy you are such a kind hearted soul!! What a journey for your veins, they are little shy stars dsfjdjg we know they are here but we cant see them well !! And i totally understand feeling understood by medical staff, it's so important, I had an apptment for sthing quite important 2 weeks ago and the lady was like, no need to be dramatic as i was crying bc it was really painful and it made me feel really ashamed ywy and exactly why i stopped taking apptments for my health ywy but I am so grateful when I encounter really kind people!! I'm so happy you got to buy your appartment!! So exciting!! Tonka is such a good boy! I need find a sturdy harness like this one because the one i have , yato can easily take off and run away ywy Peachtober!! much excitement! Wholesome and colourful are definitely the right words to describe your peachtober! Thank you for sharing also the scary parts of your life
I wish I had been there. I’d of given you a neb or hits from my inhaler. I know what it’s like. I’m sorry you went through that to find out. 😞🤗 I’m happy things worked out in the long run and they diagnosed correctly. Can I say to you that Dupixent changed my life! It s a monthly shot and they teach you to administer it yourself. I can be around kitties and even live with them now, and ragweed doesn’t kill me every year now and I don’t have asthma attacks anymore.
Sha'an don't be ashamed for crying or feeling bad about the health situation and the lead up to it. We are taught to minimise the impact we make on others and the services we use.
I go in and out of the ER a lot in specific instructions from my neurologist because my migraines present as strokes. And I still think I'm being dumb.
My advice to anyone when seeking emergency health care is try and think how you would advocate for someone you love, or a pet. If you feel unwell enough that you think you need to see a doctor immediately you should go. You are not the problem.
We are not all doctors and we can only do our best. Please, please don't be hard on yourself because at the end of the day you got help and you're doing better.
hemiplegic migraines? i have the same.
what a journey that has been
@@IdleMagik ain't it great? My meds that worked for 8 months suddenly stopped and now I'm on topiramate and the side effects are AWFUL. Tbh dealing with people makes it so much worse!
So many hugs from another brain pain person 💖 take care of yourself x

Some nurses are just too numb in the ER.
I'm so glad you had someone who was comforting because having an asthma attack sounds simple but it is so scary. ❤️❤️ I hope you're feeling better and that anxiety has lowered now!
Also I suggest wearing a mask and taking allergy pills when you clean ! Dust can cause asthma to act up sometimes. ( consult your doc ;) )
omg honey. for the whole first half of this video, i was sitting here crying with you haha. i'm so sorry you had that scary experience. i'm so glad you're okay. sending you big virtual squeezy hugs

I been the ER many times for POTS and have super horrible veins because my blood stays in my feet. So I've gotten feet IVs before.

The light table was very expensive so a free way to try it to see if it will work for you is to sit out in the sun for about 15 minutes every other day (use sunscreen so you don't burn if you need to) and see if it clears it up.
I'm glad you're better and you had such lovely nurses in the ER. What a beautiful mess! I feel the same way when my life gets chaotic, and it seems like there are a lot of exciting changes on the horizon for you Sha'an! Also, it was so sweet to see Daisy and Natasha. I found Daisy through you and she's gotten me into sewing, which is bring so much joy to my life. So thank you! 🍎🌈
Hi Sha'an. I also have veins that are hard to find. I have a lucky spot which I point out to anyone drawing my blood. I have to feel comfortable with a person to not get stressed about it. What is it about the word VEIN that makes me weak in the knees. Just got the shivers. So glad you are feeling better and blessings on the new chapter ahead.
oh sweetie I'm so happy you're well now! I loved how Tonks realized you were sensitive and quickly moved closer to you (though he got on attack mode for a sec lol). So happy for you and Rocket to have your own place 💛 And I'll be joining peachtober this year so I'm looking forward that prompt list! 🤩💖 Lots of love for you, Tonka and Rocket 💕
If it makes you feel any better I cried in the hospital too when I had an asthma attack, they suck so its justified, just glad to hear that you're feeling better. CONGRATS on your apartment!!! How exciting!
your asthma and hospital experience sounds terrifying and stressful-i’m thankful you’re feeling better and have been resting up 🙂💛 in the wake of all that, i hope the move to your new place is a smooth and painless process. big congrats! 💐
Don't feel bad about not realizing sooner! I personally know someone who thought their appendix rupturing was just period cramps. She's okay now, but she didn't realize until it got quite serious.
It's hard to notice when the symptoms are so similar to what you're used to. You just have to be more careful going forward.
Best wishes, and congrats on your new appt!
So glad you’re okay ;_; that's so scary! Happy to hear that you feel rested and much better. Sending you love and congrats on getting a new space to call home! That's so exciting! 💖 Can't wait to see more about it. So much love for u Sha'an 💖 thanks for sharing
I'm so sorry about the asthma - that must have been so scary. On another note I am SO EXCITED for you that you bought an apartment!!!! That is the best news!!! Such a cool achievement. I am so inspired by how productive you are. Sending healing vibes and hope you have fun setting up your new home. Thanks for sharing! This was as always a very worthwhile way to spend my time.
omg i am so glad that you are doing okay now 💛💛Please take care of yourself as i know moving process + peachtober could be very stressfull but exciting ☺️ I cannot wait to see what's the next video gonna be
I'm so excited for Peachtober! I only started following you this year but I've seen the Pechtober prompts in the past and thought they were so lovely and open to a wide range of interpretation. Every year I try a prompt list and "fail" and say "I'm not trying this again" BUT I've taken a lot of time off social media and have come back to it more chill, I'm going to give Peachtober a go and even if I only post sketches most days that's okay :)
I went to A&E for the same reason. It's quite stressful and I could hear this old woman who had COVID and she was so distressed. Plus there's no support person allowed in with anyone so literally people are alone and sick. I was grateful I got to go home the next day after they pumped me full of steroids, antibiotics for a chest infection and Ventolin etc. Thanks for making great content. I enjoyed watching you tidy your home etc. I love vlog style videos. Sending you lots of love from this Kiwi now living on the Gold Coast. Rachelle xo
ah I got so scared when I saw the thumbnail of you in the hospital!! So glad you feel better, that’s a very scary experience. Congrats on buying a place!
SO glad you're okay! Also don't be so hard on yourself. It had never happened to you before there's no way you could've known. Sending good vibes and a lot of love!
So happy you’re feeling better! Taking rest / good care of yourself is so important and you’re so lucky to have Rocket with you. He’s such a gem! Another tip for fellow asthmatics: I put a mask on while vacuming because of the small dust particles flying around. It makes my night and next day a lot easier to breathe!
Tonka is such a good son ♥ I'm glad you're out of that stressful health situation! And congrats on purchasing a place!! :D
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I just went to urgent care for a really bad eczema flare up, and I felt the same way- guilty for letting it get that bad before doing something about it. You can’t blame yourself for not realizing, though- the important thing is that you’re alright! Thanks for sharing this with us and congrats on the new apartment, sending love :)
Tonka has gotten so big! And your green couch looks so comfy. Wishing you a stressless packing experience and glad you are feeling so much better. And congratulations on your new house!! I'm a saver too but I have a long ways to go until 🏠
Sending so much good energy from here. I'm so sorry you had to go through what you did but I'm happy that you're okay and that you're back to the studio. Congratulations on your big new step! 🌼💙🏡✨
I’m so glad you are doing better 💗💗💗
so happy to hear you're oke and feeling better!! As a fellow asthmatic I can for sure relate to that terrifying feeling of not being able to breathe, shit's fucked. Gratitude goes out to the nurses that made u feel safe and seen x x
Don't beat yourself up for not seeing the signs. The main thing is that you got help. Really glad that you're okay 🧡
so glad your health scare turned out alright! good on you for taking action and taking care of yourself. also i'm sooooo proud of you for buying an apartment!! i remember in an old vlog you and rocket were talking about how you'd probably never be able to buy real estate in sydney, and look at you now! 🥲💓
I’m so glad that you are doing better. That must have been so scary! I hope that you continue to stay healthy and I wish you and Rocket the best with the move. That is so exciting! I can not wait to see your new home. :)
Hi Peach! I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ve also been having health issues so you sharing your experience has meant so much to me and made me feel less alone. ❤️ get well soon!
ohh i am so glad you're okay!!! and that Tonka kept you company when resting!!!! sending comfort energy!!!💖💖 i know it's rly scary to not know a situation is that serious! i had that with my appendix and thinking it's a stomach ache until i had to get emergency surgery😅 i'm glad the nurse made u feel so validated and safe in such a scary situation!!!
quick tip for getting rid of dust, use a (microfiber)cloth! it hangs onto it, picks it up better. paper towels leave specs themselves
Coming from another asthmatic, so sorry to hear that you had to go through that! Glad you’re feeling better Sha’an, your art makes me feel so happy so I’m sending some happiness your way too xx
I know how asthma attacks for even days feels... Luckly you have the assitant you need. The medicines sometimes make you feel like you are doing worse, before you feel better. I hope you are feeling better. I send you a hug.
Phew! I hope you won't need another ER trip any time soon! I had a few as a teenager because of asthma and it is so scary to not be able to breathe. And of course panicking makes it worse, but OF COURSE you're going to panic when you can't breathe! All the best Sha'an!
I‘m so sorry you went through this, it sounds so scary. Very glad you feel better now. And HUGE congrats on the new apartment! Especially in ~this economy~, I sometimes look at property prices in different places for fun and in Sydney I was like…whoa… but so so exciting! Crossing my fingers that everything goes smoothly with the move 💛
I'm so happy you called the GP! Take good care of yourself, Sha'an! 💛
Happy to hear that you did a self care taking a moment to STOP...Congrats on your new HOME...is it close to your studio space?
My heart broke thinking about you in the ER, so sorry you had to go through this. But loved being able to see that you got to rest
i had a really bad attack two years ago and it was really scary to go through. i could barely get to the front door of the ER without passing out:( so glad you’re doing better ♥️
Please take care Sha'an, and congratulations for the new house ! 🌸💙🌸
Thank you for sharing your updates! Sending you huge hugs from Seattle- I am so happy you are healthy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
it's good to hear you're okay, love. Take it easy ❤ we love you!
Take care, cutie! 🤗 happy you are feeling better and so excited for you for the apartment 🥳
So sorry you went through that scare with the asthma and going to the ER!! I’m glad you are ok now though! On another note - can’t wait for peachtober!!! 💖
As someone who also has tiny evasive veins, in the future apply a heat pack to the inner elbow area, it draws the veins up to the surface, and drinking a LOT of water makes them bigger
Nurses/doctors digging around for veins and bruising in you in the process is really traumatic, I feel for you. It’s hard to not be stressed when people keeping swapping and saying that they can’t find your veins
I’m glad to hear that it all went relatively well for you, and that you’re now feeling better
I’m so sorry for your ER experience! My fiancé had a similar issue a couple of years ago and it was really scary. Keep pushing through. you’re amazing! Congratulations on your own apartment! Do I feel a moving vlog coming? 🥰🥰🥰 good luck! I’m wanting to buy a house so I know all the stress involved!
stop with that ER image, my heart cannot take it 😭😭😭💗💗💗
Nurses are the greatest!
Dearest Sha'an, I'm so glad you're feeling better and had a chance to rest after such a scary asthma episode. You probably already know all about the link between asthma, eczema and inflammation/autoimmune issues but if you don't, or none of your MDs have ever mentioned it to you, it might be helpful to get tested for autoimmune disorders. Obvi, I'm just a stranger on the internet but one of my besties struggled with some of the same issues for years before
someone suggested she get tested. Once she was diagnosed, she was able to make some basic changes in diet, lifestyle and meds and her health has improved 100%. She feels sooo much better now. I hope you feel better too. Thanks so much for your videos and for sharing so much of your life with us! (And I agree, nurses are AMAZING for what they do.)
That must have been scary!! Im glad you had a human like Rocket beside you.
Glad you are ok now ..💕never commented on your videos … you are my inspiration and gave me courage through your videos to start my own art business 💕wish you good health 💗
Really glad to hear you’re okay 💕 and a big big congratulations on your apartment I reckon it’s gonna be so gorgeous!
Sha'an, I'm sorry you had to go through with that. As an asthmatic myself, I know how you feel. I was advised by my doctor to cut all dairy products. It not only helped my breathing, it reduced the frequency of asthma attacks and also cleared my eczema, (which I too suffered from, for years). I don't know if you even consume dairy products, but if you do, maybe give it a try? So glad you're feeling better. 💛
congratulations on buying your apartment! also i hope you feel better soon
Hooray for peachtoberrrr wooo
I wonder if it's common to have asthma and eczema. I am on the contrary scarily calm when these types of things happen maybe because I know the NHS can suck. I'm glad that you are doing okay now. You are such a sweetheart I swear. I wish you all the best for the new house!
glad you're okay !! i have bad asthma also, so i know how scary it can be
Thanks for the info in didn't know that but I glad to learn it
So happy you are feeling better. I look forward to your seeing your new space..and Peachtober. I've never done Peachtober before, is it #peachtober, or #peachtober22 or??? Thanks!
Be really careful with the chemicals of spray paint and varnish! I don’t know if you use it, but I always try to paint with a proper gas mask so I don’t inhale the huge amount of toxic chemicals. I hope this was helpful, wishing you the best health ❤️
Good luck with the move sha'an and I hope you're feeling better ! :)
You can call healthdirect next time as well! They’re really helpful with judging if you should go to the hospital or gp and any advice in the meantime
Literally only 2 minutes in but that first bit totally felt like a montage from an early 2000’s movie. Idk it made me super happy and nostalgic. What camera did you use?
Whhhooppp nurse gang!!! Also I have asthma too ! I actually took my inhaler too much too instead of going to the ER and it caused a panic attack, it was the worst. I also have eczema both things are related to stress and allergies 🤧
glad you're okay Sha'an!
I’m so glad your oki ❤️ you did the right thing!
Just reminded me, I played unpacking weeks before moving just when that game came out and stopped for that exact reason 🥲 Didn’t want to double unpack! Xxx
Asthma attacks can be deadly! I am glad you all better. I think you need a cuddle
The first part felt like half of my favorite actors reunited in the same movie
so glad you are okay.
thanks for making these videos.
Hi Sha'an, Happy to see you are feeling better!!!!! Looking forward to this years Peachtober😊it will be my first time attempting to finish an Oct. challenge! P.S. Love all your videos including this style of video and your ASMR video as well💚

What a journey for your veins, they are little shy stars dsfjdjg we know they are here but we cant see them well !! And i totally understand feeling understood by medical staff, it's so important, I had an apptment for sthing quite important 2 weeks ago and the lady was like, no need to be dramatic as i was crying bc it was really painful and it made me feel really ashamed ywy and exactly why i stopped taking apptments for my health ywy but I am so grateful when I encounter really kind people!!

Sending you hugs and lots of love. Take care and have a rest once in a while. I hope you're doing better. Love
Wow. Amazing video as always👍🏻
"I feel like it wants to cuddle us" 😂
It’s ok to reuse some prompts too. Please don’t feel like you have to reinvent the wheel. Pick a fave from each of the other years you’ve done it.
I wish I had been there. I’d of given you a neb or hits from my inhaler. I know what it’s like. I’m sorry you went through that to find out. 😞🤗
I’m happy things worked out in the long run and they diagnosed correctly. Can I say to you that Dupixent changed my life! It s a monthly shot and they teach you to administer it yourself. I can be around kitties and even live with them now, and ragweed doesn’t kill me every year now and I don’t have asthma attacks anymore.
