You are not alone 🤍

If the person were well enough to ask themselves all of these logical questions that the author is promulgating he or she wouldn't have a problem to begin with.

You know what that’s true when I am having anxiety and it about to spark badly I tell myself Jenni it’s not real and it calms me down and I take action and I come to hear him or I just walk or I breath and then I breath better and the right head tight shoulder do stop and I come back to normal state of mind and also when I’m at work I work in a chair sitting all days talking to people for 8 hours and I only ahve 30 min break I tell myself hey it’s not real

@@jennifer_reyes_9490 hey check out Dr. Claire Weeks, her book changed my life! I'm in acceptance therapy now, and facing my phobias. Also the society coach podcast is incredibly validating and calming. Best wishes on your journey, seems you're uncovering the trick that is fear and anxiety!

Same here, stay strong!

I'm exactly the same! I get chest pains everyday. I've had lots of tests and the cardiologist said everything is normal yet everyday I'm scared theres something wrong with my heart. Its exhausting!

@@helenw8019 totally get that, same for me. ♥️I hope we can both have some healing.

Exact same thing with me! Stay Strong! The chronic chest pain is very exhausting.

Wow. Same. 😩 This is a new symptom for me. I’ve had 50 others but never chest discomfort. Sneaky anxiety!!!

Much love my friend.

Yes need body sensations

Realize there are so many people just like you and try not to worry how your attacks affect those around you because they have no idea what you’re going thru and if you worry about them, it will just add more anxiety. It’s more important to concentrate on healing yourself … this guy seems to be on point. Hope it helps you.

Yes, I don't want to be a burden. Sometimes I do like to talk about what I'm going through.

🙌

Truth. But having access to calming material is a blessing also.

Very welcome.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love it.

Very welcome keep up the program progress.

I agree so good!

Same. Stay strong, bless you!

Same but I'm scared to go to the doctor

Thanks Sally good seeing you.

That’s what one doc told me, some people have that chemical imbalance and their body needs help with meds, like others that have diabetes or take meds for their heart or high blood pressure. I took meds for many years but was still dealing with anxiety. I wanted to prove to myself that I can function without daily meds as I didn’t believe that I need meds every day. I finally managed to wean off the meds two years ago. I still feel anxious sometimes and when I have a bodily response that is too strong to manage on my own, then I do take a calming pill. And I do EFT which helps a lot. Just be patient with yourself and have lots of compassion.

There is no such a thing as a chemical imbalance. Anxiety is fear and worry based. Too much worry and what you tell your amygdala there is danger. The best thing to do with mind chatter, is to not argue with your thoughts. They're only thoughts. Observe the thoughts and let it go. This is a practice because most people have made it a habit to believe and argue with their thoughts. When you react fearfully to a thought, your amygdala attaches it as dangerous. Just like it does to people, places, things and thoughts. It's a cycle, until you stop reacting to a thought, that brings on a symptom or attack. It doesn't work immediately. You have to retrain your brain on how you react. You have to show your brain, that it's not dangerous. The amygdala controls the involuntary part of your nervous system, which is in charge of emotions. Anxiety and depression can be treated by not believing or arguing with thoughts. If you get triggered, then watch how you react. I use the words, ride the wave or Let it be. Avoid using words that tell the nervous system their is danger. Takes time to calm down the brain and heal the nervous system. Amygdala is a machine. It doesn't understand words. It understands memory and actions.

Be very careful. You've been taking meds for your whole life. Your body is dependant. Most likely you will have terrible withdrawal and won't be able to come off the drugs.

@@angelamartin7885 Great advice.

You are so welcome

Very welcome.

Me too

Me too. Thats what woke me up this morning. That's why I'm registering to this podcast

Same here ugh it sucks!!!

@@lizsantarsiero2382 Yes as soon as you wake up its there all day effects everything you do doesn't lighten up it only gets worse. Yes its a pain in A.. I been dealing with it for years

Dealing with the same thing. I thought I was the only one. Have you had anything confirmed wrong with you?

@@CHRONICjon716 Nope leave the doctor and they say I’m healthy. But it doesn’t feel like it.

I seriously need help with this as well. Plus now I'm starting to shake more with anxiety. God bless you all. Prayers up for you warriors 🙏🏾

Same here the withdrawals are terrible and the health anxiety and panic attacks are hell. Stay strong.

For how long did you have withdrawal symptoms?

I have done the same. In into my 4th month of hell. Don't know how to stop worrying.

JUST WAIT IT OUT. IT WILL SUBSIDE. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT TAKE BENZOS NOW. IT WILL GET WORSE

Thank you for your insightful words.

You’re not alone. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t give up.

Get it checked, all clear? Focus your attention on the emotional causes of the physical sensations, it’s a transition and it’s necessary. The only reason you go back to thinking catastrophically about your anxiety symptoms is because it makes you feel protected to worry and fret over them, once you trust this dissipates.

@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thankyou for taking the time to reply, truely appreciated. I have been crippled by this for over 25 years. Lost everything. Slowly, bit by bit your work is helping me and slowly starting to make some sence. Thankyou Dennis.

Let this channel be your guide, to reverse the old and bring in the new.

@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thanks so much. This Chanel has helped out a lot. Thanks for all you do.

What body symptoms do you have

@@Truerealism747 head pressure pain tension in body like deep sense of doom.. brain fog cognitive function problems communication problems

@@jasonstone1996 how long mines been years constant shoulder pain all-day long various other intermittent pains

@@Truerealism747 3yrs this episode

@@jasonstone1996 physical symptoms constant

Suddenly yes, chronic yes, anxiety can cause this as a protective response since from that perspective blurry vision means we become less frightened by what we may see.

@@TheAnxietyGuy1 I was not seeing anything that I didn't want to see I was at home and doing stuff on my phone and already had been feeling anxiety when the vision went blurry

Almost always.
