***IMPORTANT*** If you are currently prescribed anti-anxiety, or anti-depressants, do NOT stop taking your medication as a result of this video! These are methods that personally worked for me, but they are not meant to be exercised in lieu of your medication. If you wish to stop taking your medication, consult with your doctor FIRST so he may safely wean you off your medication OVERTIME!
The three top mental illnesses/issues people write to me about most is anxiety, depression, and relationship troubles. Today, I decided to really put myself out there, and share my personal experience of combating anxiety.
The main takeaway from this vlog, is to let those know who are experiencing anxiety that they are NOT alone, and help is out there! Additionally, it is to provide a better understanding of what anxiety is for those who may not understand it.
Below is a list of resources, such as trained crisis counselors, and books that I have found to be personally beneficial during my struggle with anxiety. If you feel that talking on the phone to a crisis counselor may be too much for you at this time, they do provide text-messaging services as an alternative. Rest assured, you will remain anonymous in either avenue.

I came across your video by accident. I totally enjoyed the video. I am suffering with rheumatoid arthritis. It is difficult for my husband. He at times get worried as the illness is unpredictable. Some days I am good, other days just down, depressed and it causes him to worry. He is a good husband. He takes me to work when I can't drive,cleans and washes as well. He doesn't complain. I love him very much. We get along great, just at times he gets worried. Thanks for the encouragement.
Awesome therapy Thursday session. Looking forward to the next. Thanks for reminding me that I am not alone in these feelings of isolation, i do the exact same thing time and time again. It's extremely stressful being the sole financial provider for my soon to be family of 5 plus a pit bull. Maybe next session you can help us keep breath control while playing harmonica juggling flaming chain saws and riding a unicycle on a tight rope.
On some real shit, I love these videos. Our family has had a rough life, stems from how we got to this country. Thank you for bringing this to the light. Coming from a man, I wrestled with my emotions and anger. I've become better through action and education. It helps being in the Nursing Field, little empathy goes a long way. Keep your head up Blair, appreciate ya!
I tell my kids all the time, let me check yourself that you're that you're grown and you're an adult? Until you learn how to mature in your feelings, maturity is the key ingredient to all living things and once you learn everyday to master that…. You were young in a high-stress successful situation and baby it's good to see you got your head up your ass wired together! Because maturity is like cognac or Grapevine it takes time before you open the bottle.. and I truly enjoyed your counsel on your donk.. and I agree with you it doesn't matter how much money it doesn't matter where you live it doesn't matter what you own or even the way you look,? It's about your spiritual maturity and peace of mind and good family and friends support… So keep twisting that wrist and be careful, and you're still PHAT all day😘🙏
