I feel a great deal of kinship to you and your voice as a writer. Mostly I attribute these fake feelings of friendship to the depth of the honesty and compassion in your writing. I am a pre-service (kindergarten!!) teacher dealing with my own (sometimes) overwhelming feelings of anxiety and inadequacy. This post like so many of your others was spot on and spoke to me in a very authentic way. Keep it up dear, you're an inspiration to so many. <br /><br />Also can we just take a minute to imagine what Anne Shirley would say? "One can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world." <br />XORachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619496277596667756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-65960104284792413362014-10-28T14:55:01.429-04:002014-10-28T14:55:01.429-04:00Hey thanks, I needed that.Hey thanks, I needed that.Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364152396796020469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-71706981646076481082014-10-28T12:17:35.083-04:002014-10-28T12:17:35.083-04:00So happy for you that your book is working out! -H...So happy for you that your book is working out! -<a href="http://www.hannamarielei.com" rel="nofollow">Hanna Lei</a>Hanna Leihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925400078034072749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-78654120926574011822014-10-24T18:03:37.023-04:002014-10-24T18:03:37.023-04:00Yes, yes, and yes.

I appreciate the relatable transparency :) And also, I'm such a sucker for believing in human goodness -- I read this and thought "those haters HAVE to stop after this! what human could read that they are causing another human's anxiety attacks and not stop doing their hating? what human could possibly do that?" ....and i know i'll be proven wrong, but....maybe someday the humans will be as good as they are in my head, right?katildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794183122186770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-40072390640291910672014-10-24T13:33:33.510-04:002014-10-24T13:33:33.510-04:00It was so wonderful meeting you, Natalie.

I am so sorry that you had such a hard time there for a bit, but I'm also glad you were able to overcome and that those pesky attacks are a rarity these days. I can definitely relate to feeling anxious and not necessarily knowing the root of it, but I don't think I can relate to the attack part of it. so good for you, natalie, for overcoming the hard stuff! your life is seriously beautiful! thanks for sharing it with all of us.<br /><br />love, arielle<br /><a href="http://www.asimpleelegance.com/2014/10/ten-simple-things-community-action.html" rel="nofollow">a simple elegance</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03760707950212618363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-77114531444916041082014-10-24T09:02:03.379-04:002014-10-24T09:02:03.379-04:00Just so you'll know…..a lot of people really l...Just so you'll know…..a lot of people really love you.

I had never experienced anxiety (i actually naively thought it was a myth) until 2.5 years ago and it came over me in a lesser version of what you describe here, but still really intense. it carried on for a month or so until i went to the doctor and found i had a hyperactive thyroid....little did i know that one of the symptoms was anxiety!! now my thyroid has been removed, i am back to normal and it feels goooooood but im weirdly glad I experienced anxiety (even if it was a mild form) just so I can slightly relate when I hear your story or stories from my friends who might go through the same thing. anxiety is supperrrrr weird to be honest haha. xxxSophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07833981842867126862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-295071925342610212014-10-24T01:47:03.628-04:002014-10-24T01:47:03.628-04:00thank you so much for this-you are as I say all th...thank you so much for this-you are as I say all the time the best. the bees knees i tell you ladyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349759348422209298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-65710773319756573772014-10-23T22:54:29.812-04:002014-10-23T22:54:29.812-04:00I started getting anxiety attacks after I got marr...I started getting anxiety attacks after I got married (mostly cause my in-laws were a little looney), but I literally thought I was going to die in my sleep. It is the worst feeling EVER. The closing of my throat, the stomach knots, the feeling that you just want to curl up and hide in a blanket for days. What has helped me is my loving husband (aren't those the best?) and realizing that I need to take one thing at a time instead of trying to take care of the whole picture at once. Props to you for not having one in a while!! It's the best feeling! <3 <br /><br />www.breezydaysblog.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367246574101132333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-64955353206036664872014-10-23T21:50:33.113-04:002014-10-23T21:50:33.113-04:00Hey, Natalie, 'long time listener, first time ...Hey, Natalie, 'long time listener, first time caller'. Your blog is a beloved lunch work staple of mine, congratulations on your upcoming book, and here are my two cents of love and support. Your influence on my life is in consistently lovely, little things: a lipstick, a basket fetish, the momentum to clean out a closet, the grace to drink diet coke even though I get flack for it. Mom moments. The little and the big thoughts, the profound and the specifics, all smushed together in a way that tickles the fancy--might be what I would write for your jacket copy. I find myself referencing your blog all the time in my conversations, like you are a friend of mine no one sees. Sometimes I feel silly when I mention you in passing, because no one I know seems to read blogs? Beyond hunting for a couch recommendation, recipe, or DIY instructions, that is. However, while your blog encompasses some of these elements, it also transcends them, for the perpetual reader at least, into something more akin to reading a favorite newspaper columnist (who might share your opinions on movies, or matters of the heart), but better, because it accumulates over time into a personal alignment a bit deeper than a newspaper article's format can afford; a voice you've read long enough, who has enough honesty, to become an ally. A real ally, who boosts you up and helps you out with their articulation of the world. Such strange literary animals, blogs! I haven't found another one I like as well as this one; I think yours is pretty special ('yours is the only show I do watch'). So when you're feeling blue about any negativity you encounter, remember that even Ed Templeton had a haters club, and he is basically the coolest person ever? As are you. <3 Much love from Toronto.Georgetown Electrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657771308787577246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-64931646718890729592014-10-23T20:15:59.840-04:002014-10-23T20:15:59.840-04:00I've read this quite a few times now and I jus...I've read this quite a few times now and I just adore this.

I have a semi (maybe more than semi) personal question for you! It's about your rough menstraul cycles, I too have a terrible horrible no good period. Ha (I know that's nothing to laugh about but, hey). I'm kinda I between insurance right now so I haven't been able to get myself checked, lol. But my first days are usually the worst. I get flu like symptoms, extreme nauseous, uber terrible rolling on the floor cramps where you just wish you could fall back asleep and not feel the pain. After the first day it's not super terrible but I'm REALLY heavy for a few days after that. I'm young (20) so the idea that this could cause fertility problems really scares me. I didn't know if you could share some of what you go through with me? Or if you thinj I'm just a paranoid skitz. If it's too personal to answer on a public blog then please feel free to email me (hanna.harmon@gmail.com) I've never met anybody or know of anybody that shares my cycle pains. Hehe. I hope you read this! I love you're blog and I relate to you in more ways than you could imagine.<br />Love, one of your Natalie Jeaners, Hanna :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280431700798942400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-10143647496417212692014-10-23T17:57:34.985-04:002014-10-23T17:57:34.985-04:00Yes!
