I'm late to this again, but it is anxiety. And she said so many doctors said that at the beginning but she's sure it's definitely not because surfing didn't work? Come on.
Sarah, Google "dissociation"! He has it. That feeling drunk and not being able to hold a conversation thing- dissociation!
He has anxiety.
Not being able to take a deep breath. Anxiety.
Waking up feeling off. Anxiety.
Says he's feeling like a burden. ANXIETY.

He's been to a GP and cardiologist, had blood work and had a 24 hour heart monitor. He's been to a naturopath and acupuncturist. If nothing is clinically wrong physically, then it is his mental health manifesting in physical symptoms.
Now, you're turning to your DM responses from your 12-16 y.o. followers. We all know that is you asking for advice from us, because you follow every word on here. Look at all the posts on here trying to help you:
The correct next step is a therapist. He has anxiety.
If nothing else, he has anxiety around the fact that he has not been diagnosed with anything specific in the last 2 years, so a therapist would help him cope with that feeling of exasperation until you get the diagnosis you want.
But really, it is just textbook anxiety from what you have shared.

You say you care, then show it. Stop showing up at his work "to be supportive" when you actually want him to act as your photographer.
Stop saying you played "both parental roles" and had to pick up the slack for him because he was poorly.
Stop with the passive aggressive "I couldn't even ask him to do the washing up" comments, like your life was so inconvenienced.
If you genuinely cared, you wouldn't be after him to complete your workout room in the new house NOW NOW NOW. That's not someone who is worried about their partner and trying to remove stressors, that is someone who is worried about their partner's ill health interfering with her selfish plans.

Time for a change Sarah. And unlike the cultural appropriation issue that you can conveniently ignore because it does not affect you, this is something you need to address because he may not be able to marry you if his anxiety worsens.

and she certainly wouldn’t be asking him to drive 2km down the road with their son so he can drop off an outfit she left at home so she can take her selfies for the launch 🙄

Yes @2xblended - I was too busy drowning in my concern for asking for terrible untrained medical advice on social media that I forgot to mention how freaking intolerant and spoilt she sounded in those stories! The whole “I have to be both parents” and woe is me crap - no wonder he’s losing himself slowly under your wrath you psycho!

Funny how someone so “holistic” can’t notice that’s it anxiety. Aren’t holistic people supposed to be extremely aware of how the mind and body are connected?

Weird how she can notice that a “relaxing morning” revealed her abs, but cannot notice how Kurt’s physical symptoms are textbook anxiety symptoms .....

Sarah, pull your head out of your arse and actually listen to logic. Your partner is struggling and your literally the reason why. This could have been avoided 2 years ago if you did not dismiss a medical opinion in regards to anxiety and depression. Kurt could have been on medication by now, and avoided these constant relapses in his mental health, that has obviously gotten worse.

I cant even find the words right now. Other than I want to take Kurt as far away from this toxic, controlling and manipulative human being, and get him the help he so desperately needs. Imagine being so hell bent on your hatred for western medicine that you would inflict the same ideals onto your partner, and consequently put his life at risk.

I'm probably going to repeat a lot of what has been said but this topic is close to my heart.

Kurt and Sarah, seriously, listen to us. It is anxiety. If not worse, a developing depression.

1) Just because one does not 'feel' anxious or stressed or unhappy does not mean that they don't have anxiety. I had dizzy spells for years (with nausea). I went to so many doctors and thought the same thing - "but i don't feel anxious". I liked going out, being active etc, never actually felt anxiety as such. I was comfortable with stress, crowded places, anything that could trigger anxiety. But what you need to understand is that anxiety is an actual chemical imbalance in your brain. You might feel fine. Or at least you think you feel fine. The second I acknowledged I have anxiety, most of the symptoms went away but I started to feel anxiety itself. Not sure which is worse but I feel 'actual' anxiety less frequently than the other symptoms. And of course you cannot cure something you don't think you have.

2) The 'routine' sounded like it was mostly to relieve stress not anxiety. Anxiety takes years to cure (in most cases), sometimes it never goes away, just gets better. Two weeks of meditating and surfing and your fiancee not nagging at you is not going to do anything. Stress can be a cause for anxiety but most often it is not. Anxiety and stress are two different things. Just because going for surfs didn't work, doesn't mean it's not anxiety. If it was that easy to cure anxiety, nobody would have it lol.

3) Anxiety is complicated. You can't cure it with powders and less stress. It takes a lot of work on yourself and sometimes medication. To be honest, as his symptoms sound quite severe, starting with anxiety medication would even be sensible. Just because you think western doctors are "mean" and taking a paracetamol is "evil", doesn't mean they don't work. If you care 'soo much', put your own beliefs aside and do what your fiancee needs.

4) Anxiety does not mean you're weak. I feel like they're both the type of people who see mental illnesses as being weak and not trying enough. That is not how it works. Again - a chemical imbalance in the brain. I've been through some tit in my life and I consider myself a strong person. But I still got anxiety. No idea how it happened, when it happened, why it happened. It just did and I have accepted it. Kurt needs to accept it before it gets worse. Anxiety controls your life and whatever my personal opinion is of Kurt and Sarah, I wouldn't wish anxiety on anyone.

I’m really not sure how someone could be in a relationship with someone like Sarah and NOT be suffering from anxiety! She’s a stressful & negative person to be around, all of that just radiates from her. Even when she’s “‘little miss sunshine’ I’m so positive and happy all the time” Etc that is still stressful, because she’s completely manic! Even positive stress can cause anxiety.

She admitted herself she pretended to be this low maintenance chill & adventurous person when she first met Kurt, so seems like she’s chipped away enough at him that it’s effecting his mental health.

I feel so bad for Kurt. If, as they say, all physical things are ruled out i really think it is anxiety/burnout like symptoms.

Think about it, in such a short time he got together w Sarah, they had a baby, moved houses, his career kicked off, he now has to build/renovate a house next to having a job and a kid (i know this can be A LOT), plus, there is lots of backlash recently (and not to mention, your whole life is on the internet). I can understand that puts a lot of stress on him.

This combined with having a partner like Sarah who is dismissive of his feelings / mental health issues in general (at least this is the vibe i get from her channel, and she herself defff has issues considering her body image and food). She is very controlling in lots of aspects of life and doesn’t really consider his needs. I dont feel she is a supportive partner (she might want to be, but i don't think she truly understands what he needs and i don't think she can give him that bcs of her own issues.)

Like saying ‘he’s been surfing and meditating but it didn’t cure it’… … wtf. These are all just bandaids if you do not address or remove the true stressors and hell, can even feel like extra things on the to do list (i NEED to relax)

Also, if you look at Kurts old instagram, you can see that his life changed so much. He did martial arts, had lots of friends and went out to party etc. I’ve always felt he is different than Sarah as he’s more outgoing, relaxed and has true hobbies and passions. It seems to me that Sarah is not truely supportive, only in a superficial way (like coming w him to the photoshoot and saying he has to go surf etc). I feel bad for them both because i don’t think Sarah understands what she can do and is scared Kurt will leave her. (since she is dismissive, and tbh i feel like if Kurt heals and gets into therapy he will see the light about their unhealthy relationship)

But please, if Sarah or Kurt read this, try to go into therapy, you might both benefit from it.

I wonder if Kurt ever wishes he actually found his own "Kate" - his SIL. She seems to genuinely be everything Sarah wishes she was/ pretended to be when they first met. Kate and Sarah also each had a baby pretty much at the same time, and it would be hard to not compare their approaches pre- and post-natal.

Agree with everything you all have written! As a fellow anxiety sufferer my heart goes out to each of you.

I truly don't understand her resistance in getting him to a therapist. Is she afraid that he'll figure out that she's part of the problem and leave her? If so, that just indicates how selfish she is because she'd rather he be miserable and anxious with her than leave and be happy without her. Seems like she really doesn't care about his well being. This is the acid reflux situation all over again where she let Fox scream in misery and pain because she refused to take him to a real doctor and use medication. Or does she believe it'll make him look weak and it'll alter her perfect little Instagram family? That's the impression I get. It seems like she's resistant to an anxiety diagnosis because it goes against her traditional views of a strong, masculine, provider man. This could be a great moment to speak about mental health issues (with Kurt's permission of course) and bring awareness to signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression. She could even share resources and open up a profound dialogue about mental health on her platform (that she'd probably find a way to profit off of somehow). Instead she's hell bent on ignoring reality and instead focuses on finding a diagnosis she agrees with. It's so messed up.

Their breakup is going to be epic. If she's already putting his very personal mental health issues out to her million followers and asking for help before speaking to him about it, she's probably going to air all their dirty laundry without a care when their relationship ends. Her stans will rip him to shreds if he leaves. Man I feel so insanely bad for Kurt. He is in a lose lose situation if he wants out. Sarah will probably turn Fox into a weapon (she may have already done so and might be part of Kurt's anxiety) and make leaving nearly impossible. I think they'd both be so much happier apart. Sarah is so negative, demanding, superficial, self centered and downright draining. How he has tolerated her for this long is beyond me. He was duped into believing she was chill, outgoing and adventurous. I can only imagine his disappointment when he finally realized he had been scammed. Still can't believe she admitted to that one publicly. And the amount of pressure she puts on him to be perfect... Poor guy. No wonder he's having panic attacks. She's doing nothing to help and is making him feel like a burden. I hope he gets the help he needs. My heart aches for him.

Therapy + stepping off social media would do their mental health a world of good. Go be real people without oversharing/thinking about content or the views.

His symptoms are exactly what I’ve had for the past 3 years. I’ve had every test you can possibly imagine done at various different hospitals. I was certain I had something like MS as all my symptoms felt very neurological. I felt off balance constantly as though I was on a boat and the ground would feel uneven when I walked. I was exhausted and had burning muscle pains, twitching muscles, palpitations, headaches, blurry vision etc.
After working very hard on my mental health over the last few months I have felt my symptoms start to subside. I also used meds for 5 months which really helped and I did some CBT therapy. a lot of people who haven’t experienced real anxiety and panic attacks think it’s nothing more than feeling a bit worried or stressed. It’s absolutely debilitating when it’s bad though and can feel like you’re dying from some terrible terminal disease.
I think Kurt should book in to see a mental health specialist as soon as possible!

She's such an idiot. I feel terrible for Kurt. Interesting that (as others pointed out) she pinpoints the symptoms to have started TWO YEARS ago. ie: when she was pregnant/since she's had the baby and it perfectly coincides with the avalanche of ways she's trying to LOCK HIM DOWN. And isn't it well documented that the first few years of having a baby are like throwing a grenade into your relationship?

He probably feels trapped, on a rollercoaster he can't get off, and no amount of fame/free trips/$pon money can cure that. He seems deeply unhappy and being locked down with a self-obsessed, self-proclaimed expert in everything can't be healthy. He sees no light at the end of the tunnel!

Also, she said she was being Mrs supportive fiancé and took Fox with them to his photo shoot today for support as he felt so unwell he didn’t think he could go, but he had a commitment to fulfill.
Then why the duck when they’re back home is she the one spending all her time instastorying his health issues whilst he’s the one looking after fox, bathing him and getting him ready for bed? If he was that unwell that he could barely make it to work then surely he should be resting??

Sorry to post again, but I have a question/theory. Did Sarah elaborate on what blood/lab work Kurt has had done? Specific tests, etc?

Let's say for a moment it's not anxiety. Could it be a result of a nutritionally inadequate diet? Perhaps he's deficient in certain vitamins and minerals? I would think that based on heart palpitations and muscle cramps doctors would check his potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc levels. This came to mind because when I followed a Paleo diet (no shade to anyone adhering to this diet) I thought I was dying. I was severely fatigued all day every day regardless of how many hours I slept. I would wake up in the middle of the night with cramps in my calves, had palpitations throughout the day and experienced GI distress (sorry tmi) so severe I couldn't leave my house. I had thrown off my electrolytes so badly that I had to stop the diet. After about a week adding foods back in I felt so much better. This is probably a stretch, but maybe this could be a possibility for Kurt? Might be worth a try to add in a few foods that he has eliminated and see if his symptoms improve, all with the help of a licensed medical professional of course! Just a thought. Feel free to educate me as I'm most certainly not a medical professional.

Edited to add- I hope this is okay to post and I'm not breaking any rules, but for anyone suffering from anxiety stemming from...
1.What if questions/worst case scenarios 2.What will they think of me?
3.Am I enough?
My therapist encouraged me to read books by Brene Brown, P.h. D, LMSW. The books have been so helpful for me personally. Just thought I'd share.

She’s so ignorant!! I can’t believe she said ‘it’s deeper than that’, dismissing anxiety like it’s a superficial health problem. She is cooked!
Yeah, this was in poor taste. She was so casually dismissive as well. The mind and body are intrinsically linked. I’ve experienced heart palpitations, chest pain, chronic headaches, not being able to use the loo for days upon days on end, the shakes, cold-like symptoms, etc. as a result of anxiety. To say it’s “something deeper” is really ignorant of her. Also, I really want to know who told her that a way to treat anxiety is to chill out, surf and meditate? That sounds like a great way to de-stress, sure. But that’s not going to do anything for anxiety. I’m a firm believer that the only way to truly manage anxiety is to be vulnerable about your human experience with a good therapist. I hope he goes to see one soon, even if it’s just to help with what he is experiencing right now.

Her saying that Kurt feels bad because he used to be the rock of the family and now she's "become the rock of the family"... girl, you might be the main financial provider in that family but all you do is whine, complain, dismiss Kurt's feelings, think about nobody else but yourself, obsess so much to the point you're controlling what everyone eats around you and if god forbid Kurt be away for a little while for work or a wedding, you guilt trip the living tit out of him, airing everything to a million people.

She CONSTANTLY makes him feel like he's not good enough. No matter what he does, she complains. Now obviously, none of us know what goes on behind closed doors but I am so sure that he does not get enough appreciation from her. He would've been so much better off with a chill, mellow, down to earth girl that doesn't pretend to be something that she's not. I'm assuming he would love to have traveled more before settling down and having a kid but oh well it's Sarah's way or the highway I guess.

I haven’t watched the stories but reading that she said it’s ‘deeper’ than anxiety.... homegirl has nooo idea how dangerous your brain can be. Like others have said, the brain is a powerful organ and can absolutely be dangerous and threaten your life.

Just back tracking a bit to what I said in a previous post about hypochondria - I feel like she is rubbing her own form of anxiety on him. Constantly disagreeing with the doctor’s (I assume multiple) diagnosis, constantly hitting up Dr Google, constantly asking her tweenie followers what illness/disease he has. All things a hypochondriac does. He might accept a diagnosis of anxiety, but oh no Mummy Sarah doesn’t agree so off she goes to Web MD, gets all these chronic and also debilitating diseases in her head, goes along with him to appointments and tells the big bad nasty doctors they’re wrong and that it could be xyz on her list that she pulls out of her ass.

Let’s not forget the time ‘not now Fox, mummy is talking to everyone about how she’s dying’ comment when her body was ‘shutting down’. That ‘shutting down’ nonsense seemed to disappear pretty fast, and I feel like that was all in her head, something she convinced her brain that was wrong. I’m not saying that’s her fault, but there’s seriously a time you need to accept and understand there may not be something physically wrong with you, even though you are experiencing physical symptoms. (I do also maintain she pulled that whole episode because she was attempting Kurt into not going away and leaving her at home a ‘single Mum’.

Like a previous poster said, anxiety manifests itself in many different ways, and those physical symptoms your brain leads you to believe are occurring feel really bleeping real. The more she googles and tells him it could be xyz, the worse she’s possibly making it for him. Health anxiety is absolutely no joke.

Happy for her to prove us ‘haterz’ wrong, I feel terrible for Kurt experiencing health issues and do hope he can get to the bottom of it. It just makes me so mad people who dismiss mental health as a non issue. They are simply feeding the stigma surrounding it and contribute heavily to why people take matters into their own hands and don’t speak up for help. She needs to at least consider it from a supportive view, at least start with some therapy if she’s so against medication. Heck, if he’s got something else (aka, more ‘serious’ in her books going on), he’ll probably be on a lot more meds!! (As long as the selfish piece of work doesn’t suggest a naturopath or clean eating to cure him like she did with her cervical dysplasia🙃)

Finally caught up with her stories today and I agree with everything everyone has said already. But UGH, the way she just dismissed that it could be anxiety really pissed me off. Like seriously, what does she WANT it to be? As if anxiety isn't 'big' enough of a problem to deal with. Sarah, just because an anxiety diagnosis doesn't sound "serious" enough doesn't mean it's not true!

I also feel like she's so dismissive of anxiety and depression in general, aside from her stereotypical and sexist views that the big, strong manly men don't get that, is because if Kurt is suffering from this it would mean she would have to look towards herself as a possible (probable) cause. When Kurt tried that de-stress plan are we honestly supposed to believe Sarah didn't ride him constantly about having to pick up the slack of being both parents and having to do chores like the washing up? We all know she can't cope being on her own with Fox or even doing housework. Kurt was probably tense as anything and treading on eggshells during that whole time knowing she could go off at him or rant to her 1 mil followers at any moment. Like with her stories today, she was trying way too hard to convince us that he wasn't a burden and that she's such a supportive fiancee for being with him while he worked (even though she admitted she was actually there to get gram content), all the while plugging her cooking project, her activewear, her sunglasses, her bluelight glasses, her next vlog (while trying to manipulate her follwers by telling them she doesn't think anyone will watch it), and the reno series. Not to mention low key blaming Kurt's illness for her not having any gram content because she has to look after him. Wft is wrong with her?

But hey, at least she got a workout in, right?
