      agreed! by the end of January very few Americans really had covid on their radar, though the Cassandras were definitely trying to sound the alarm. It's kinda surreal/sad to be watching this video now.

      January? No! I'm usually fine with January. I never felt this way before!
      Psychic. Or she had some big projecy in mind who scared her.
      And Claudia is the one who gasps at a fish with a gaping mouth!

      I wonder if the pandemic and the public's response is making people more scared. Too see the whole world worried, acting out , being angry, it kind of makes life seem unsafe. Society being chaotic in 2020 might be a real influencer on everyone, even calm people.

    re: Claudia disliking horror films/Jessica liking them
    It's rather common for Deaf people to like horror movies or not think they're scary! A lot of the tension and suspense that hearing people get from horror movies is due to the music. Try watching a scary movie with captions on and the sound muted, it's a lot less scary.

    I've had 6 books published but last month I was right back in the "I can't write! Everyone will hate this book!

    Your strong reaction to being startled might be due to EDS. My EDS specialist once told me that my strong response to being scared/startled (e.g. 10+ min of heart racing and whole body shaking if the doorbell rings and I wasn't expecting anyone) is likely due to the fact that my body doesn't regulate adrenaline correctly. The specialist explained that people with EDS don't regulate hormones all the hormones correctly. I have multiple hormones that are not regulated correctly.
    if you want to write but are scared of someone you know reading your writing, maybe you could post your work online on reading sites, people could read your work without knowing who the author is and get feedback. Maybe that would give you the confidence later on to publish a book :)

    I think it is ok to be afraid. Whatever it may be that you are afraid of, to me, is something you care about. Whether it be your work or your family or your health ... it makes you aware of your surroundings. It may even help to motivate you. And Jessica, for the record, I would love for you to continue writing. I believe your creative mind would produce a page turner.
    Jessica and Claudia, thank you for the video. Your advice Claudia is fantastic and something I want to apply in my life. You know, you're quite the stealthy motivational speaker 😉

    If a person is disabled enough to have limited energy, the choices we make on how to spend our time really is more momentous. Energy becomes a precious commodity. So when Jessica mentions she doesn't want to waste her time, it has more significance because her energy pool is reduced. It is like when someone is poor how they spend their money is more significant because they have such limited resources.

    One of my goals for the year is to finish the first draft of my book, but I also moonlight as an editor, which makes things a little complicated. I'm always wrestling the urge to go back and nitpick my way through it like it's some sort of alligator. I cut my expectations down to 'if I manage at least 200 words a day, I will consider it a success' and I started keeping a bullet journal. Still a bit early to really tell if it's successful, but it seems to be helping. Possibly because I function best when someone ELSE is holding me accountable, and despite the fact that I'm just writing the journal myself, it still sort of feels like an outside source. Because that just makes so much sense.

    I relate so hard to this fear of failure... Fear of failure/Impostor Syndrome are always haunting my every move (and one of the reasons I haven't finished writing any of my 4, 5 books!). It's probably because I feel like my worthiness (is this a real word??) relies on my professional, intelectual area. If I fail there too, what is left? Deep down I know everything will be ok, no matter what, but... can't help it.
    BTW, I'm quite anxious about Jessica's news now! I hope it's something amazing (and nothing that will stop her from filming the videos or staying with Claud all the time!!)

    well, this inspired a really self compassionate and ambitious journal entry! i've struggled with imagining myself in the future and ambition is quite new to me. if my ambition was a child it would barely be walking by now! it's scary to have goals all of a sudden, although i guess the work i've put into my mental health in order to be able to believe in myself and be hopeful wasn't sudden at all. i was in a local production of a play i helped write last year and i performed spoken word in front of an audience for the first time in 2019! i'm in university for psychology and never intended to build a career out of my art but it turns out that writing every day for years made me quite good at it and i wanna get better at drawing and painting. i'm putting myself out there for the first time in my life and i have so many project ideas! i barely recognize myself! i'm terrified of the vulnerability of it all but i think about you jessica on a daily basis in order to motivate myself. "I can't focus on the things I can't do because of my mental illnesses because they're a part of me whether i like it or not and sulking about my condition will not make anything better" is what i tell myself when i remember you. thank you for the honesty and for the tools you've equiped me with emotionally, i love you.

    Watching this in december 2020 adds a whole other level of "eep"... our fears and hopes for 2020 seem so banal with everything that's going on... still love every bit of this video though, the positivity really helps calm my brain.

    Now that it’s June 2020 it’s so refreshing to hear a discussion about fear without a mention about corona. There is so much going on in people’s minds than just te epidemic. I wish we all didn’t have to live in fear. But as you said: ”This too shall pass”. Love you both 💕

    Claudia I needed this, I know you are a sweet channel but it has been the worst curse word you can think of kinda 2 days. I know there are ppl dying but when you think your dreams could be dying, it is another thing altogether. I had some stress with jinxing at college. And I go from being enrolled to out of the blue owing quite a bit of money with no recourse but to be expelled. I was in a heap. My motto is 'When you want something as bad as breathing, you will succeed.' I could not have felt like I was buried alive any more than I did at that moment. I got out of my heap realizing there had to be someone, some way..... So I just kept emailing my college dept heads. DO you know what happened, the little pinions on the bottom didn't know what they were talking about and now Dept Heads are in charge of my college profile, I am back in classes and the debt is in a payment plan. The debt was the leftover of not enough aid. Yeah, college is a scam but being an ESL teacher requires it...

    Jessica, be afraid of failure. But put the fears in a metaphorical box and lock it up. And keep going. Everything is temporary. It's not a waste of time to try something because you're still learning from it.

  • @shayelea

    This time two days ago, I was FREAKING OUT about an upcoming audition. This time yesterday I was at the audition and still freaking out. Today I sit here kinda freaking out for a different reason - I GOT THE ROLE! So yes, the way it is now is not the only way it will be. And maybe it will turn out exactly as you hoped. 💛 Go forth and create!

    One thing you don't need to be scared of is that there won't be an audience for your book! We know you can do it and we can't wait to read it!

  • @eaberrens
    @eaberrens 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the same vein as Jessica's this too shall pass my husband often reminds me that it's only temporary, So even though our current situation is not ideal it's not going to be this way forever. That single thought gets me through a lot of rough patches.

  • @chroniceverything

    I was diagnosed with Neurocognitive Disorder (mild) last week. I’d been looking for a Dx for a year, but to hear the doctor say the words out loud, and read it in print, especially the pages that state my deficiencies & things I can’t do on my own for safety reasons hit me HARD. I’m now terrified or more terrified than before, so not the greatest start to the New Year. Mostly because of how it will affect my children, particularly the 4 & 6 yr olds, and my husband who is currently my caregiver.

  • @PunkyDino
    @PunkyDino 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ooh as usual, Jessica's vids are quite timely and reassuring. I'm dealing with nursing school (which is an almost constant source of fear) but I also recently saw Frozen 2 and theres a song called The Next Right Thing which puts into words how I've always dealt with fear, which is that in order to not get overwhelmed, just focus on the next thing you need to do, be it just getting out of bed or opening up the cover of your textbook.

    my mum via my grampa taught me this trick of if you're really nervous for something, touch something before you go in and touch it when you come out. Like if you're worried about a doctor appointment, touch the dash of your car before you go in, and touch it again when you come out. Time will always move forward

    Somehow it feels so natural for this to have been the first video Claudia says subscribe. I feel that stubborness too, not wanting to break the pattern with something like that. I sometimes hold on to things partially just to say I've never done (blank). For some reason that moment with Claudia spoke to me, it is kind of a silly example but it is also a silly thing that I do. Anyway, I appreciated the reminder that I can calm down and just go with the flow!

  • @xzonia1

    The heads and eyes and whatnot would freak me out too! I bought a fixer-upper house years ago and tore out the old linoleum in the bathroom and put down tile. It was a lovely random pattern sort of tile, but I literally opened all the boxes I bought and sorted out the tiles into ones that I could see faces in and ones I couldn't. All the ones I couldn't see a face in remained whole. All the ones I could make out a face in were the ones that got cut for end pieces (and the parts that had faces on them were the remains). I've never been so happy with flooring in all my life! Not a face to be seen anywhere in the floor tile. :)

    Thank you for taking time out of your holiday to make this video. Suddenly being afraid just happens at times, I am so happy you have each other to discuss these topics with. It helps others see a way to deal with their fears as well. Thank you Claudia and Jessica for your advice.
    Have a beautiful birthday and glamorous lovely anniversary and holiday. You both so deserve it.
