Tomorrow I am facing my greatest challenge and could effect my entire life going forward. I pray I have the strength to carry on no matter what happens.
4 months ago I was at the lowest point of my life, my anxiety felt so out of control I was stuck in constant fight or flight. I've lost 30 pounds, hid in my house constantly in fear of every body sensation to come. You pulled me out, I'm grateful. I'm feeling better, I'm being consistent. I had solid food for the first time yesterday. I'm celebrating big time, I'm making major changes and reframing. Thank you so much, sending so much love and gratitude ❤
Was in a very similar state Jillian - I lost 30 pounds in about 4 months - I was terrified something was really wrong with me that the doctors were not picking up and I was going to keel over any day. Was a horrible state to be in - had to quit my job, my kids (I'm a single Dad) they deserve better but it was so freaking' tough. It's getting better, but today had a bit of a relapse on the health anxiety again - I really get it in the chest pressure and palpitations - two big ones for me. But I'm going to get through this!! Everyone on here is!!
Two things I relayed to most in this video: the muscle twitching and shaking. This happens to me only when I’m in bed and almost fully asleep. I feel vibrations in my whole body. This is definitely subconscious because I’m never thinking of anything because I’m almost asleep. Secondly the palpitations. Last night I woke up at 1:30 am and my heart was racing. I felt it in my spine and felt it pressuring my ears. Although I did kind of freak out, I decided to put my headphones in, listen to a meditation, put a cold cloth on my head and did EFT tapping. This helped me lower the heart rate and go back to sleep. I was proud of myself because I felt like running and leaving my bedroom so although I did respond (instead of ignoring it), it was a physical/action response done out of confidence that I could stay in control. And today I actually realized that it was the yelling of my husband that triggered this fear from the last when he used to do that and it intimidated me. So I will be better able to handle this happening again if it does.
@@musicfiedsmoky1466 I’m a lot better now and happy! I listened to a lot of personal development tips and have come very far. It’s weird to think about how I was a year ago…
Absolutely one of the most powerful videos and works I’ve ever heard!!! You have given me a lot to work on! I’ll be playing this over and over again to remind myself of the importance to myself.Thank you.
My anxiety and panic attacks are when I drive. And it's this awful feeling you get light-headed you feel like you're going to pass out and now I'm showing symptoms of blurry vision when I get them. It's to the point where now I don't even want to drive and it happens on highways. Can't take any type of medication to help because I'm on seizure meds and it will block out the effects of my seizure meds so I'm basically stuck with nothing
Thank you for this one Dennis. I’ve began to backslide the last few months due to crazy stress and this video helped me to open my eyes once again and I can’t stop listening to it. Thank you so much for all of your love and care for us and humanity in general.
Thank you for addressing my specific symptom...thinking about the future differently makes so much sense. I do dwell on the future so much so this is incredibly insiteful and helpful. Thank you, Dennis!
I recently noticed my legs feeling shaky and I thought, no way is this related to anxiety. However, this makes so much! It makes sense that one sensation goes away but shows up somewhere else. I love that you say focus on peace (and not so much healing anxiety). Thank you Dennis!
FYI: Since March 2020, I had intense anxiety with experiencing depressed mood along with insomnia on almost daily basis. My doctor put me on antidepressants and anti-anxiety with limited help. So he referred me to see CBT therapist. Over a year, the medications along with therapy did not alleviate the experiences. I am practicing meditation and anxiety awareness, trauma healing, ect... still not help. So my doctor decided to run every lab works. Finally, it turned out that my anxiety and depressed mood caused by imbalance of TSH and another hormone. 3 weeks into the medication treatment, my gosh, my sad mood and anxiety were gone like a storm cloud was gone. So I just wanted to put out there that if you have done this and that but anxiety still on. Talk with your doctor if your body has insufficient on something like mine.
Very informative video. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. . To feel better reduce negative thoughts [overthinking]. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, before sleep, in school, at work, when reading, etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media, take morning sunlight walks and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
I really don't know what i' m doing. I've been watching countless videos about all of this but it has left me with more questions than answers. I know all the answers i'm looking for are inside of me but I don't know how to tap into that. I'm faced with a problem and I don't have a solution, I don't know what to do in the moment. The voices in my head are going crazy
I only got head pressure and headaches caused by the sulphites in my anxiety medication. Now that I stopped taking it, my head pressure and headaches have stopped completely.
I have never had health anxiety in my life I used to be happy I’m only 21 but convinced there is something wrong with my heart and it feels like I’m not breathing and my heart feels like it’s beating irregular despite being checked just yesterday ekg and 02 at 99 it feels horrible it’s a everyday battle.
I'm the same , you've become hyper aware of your symptoms , waiting for something to happen , I once read , ignore anxiety and anxiety will ignore you , easier said then done , it makes sense though
I have the same fear of my heart. Doctor said my heart is fine but i still fear. I am tired of living in fear. I been like this for the past two months
@@teodanewallace5987 I also feel my own heart beat with my hands on my chest and I think to myself it’s not normal or it shouldn’t be beating hard enough for me to feel it my brain won’t shut up however I had an ekg just yesterday and also had it listened to by professionals as well as my lungs due to shortness of breath and they said it all sounds fine and physically I am healthy
Its odd what we go through to suffer and get through days when life is empty and sad. At age 54 I think about turning things off every day. I get older and weaker. Bad stuff.
Does anyone experience hands feel sticky as if you have touched or held something sticky. Also jelly legs. I walk like a drunk. It scary. Both of my arms also feel weird like you have slept on them a numb heavy feeling.
Yes, I have that to a certain degree, also numb hands/feet, but if I poke/tickle them I can feel it just fine. I also get slightly shaky fingers if I hold my arms out, but at rest it's fine. I keep fearing it's something else as I developed all this only after my first jab :(
@@timmcgrath3094 It horrible these feelings in my hands and arms. As soon as I get anxious and stress it far worse and my legs. I hope yours gets better. I too scared get the vax too many people adverse effects etc
I suffer from severe burns chest hands and spine it’s horrible i tried alot to get through it i need an idea please and also my anxiety is very hormonal rapid heart rate and lightheaded and like im in a car and its also moving ive been like this about 1 year and 3 months they said i have pots i want to heal my body i feel dozens of symptoms daily im hearing you and im building myself up and i now believing that the body is capable of healing every illness xx thx ❤
I'm not sure which type of anxiety I have. I have a lung disease which causes severe breathlessness and the more breathless I become the more I panic which makes it worse. I'm now so anxious about feeling like this in public that I'm avoiding going out and doing things.
I noticed shortness of breathe wasn’t in this ? And I’ve noticed a lot of people have this issue along with acid reflex . I believe it’s maybe a dysfunctional breathing pattern . Did you have that issue ? And if so , do you have any advice on how to get my automatic breathing pattern back 😬
Hi dear man you are so so helpful Your words are very comforting and so helpfulThank you so much Be highly blessed One main question why do we have such anxiety is it coming from childhood and for me added to a narcissistic husband who has left me with nothing?
Have anyone else experienced tremors thourghout the body as well as involutary muscle movments in fingers and toes. Somtimes when o tense my body, my fingers just suddenly tense together. I also experiense hapnic jerks on diffrent places on my body as im about to fall asleep somtimes, for example one leg kicking or my hand tense together. Please let me know if any of you can relate to this stuff. Sorry for bad grammer.
Hi Dennis, this video is so helpful and I hope I can learn to heal like you, I think I suffer with almost every single one of these symptoms. My question is, how do you find inner peace with each problem if you don't know what the problem is? Clearly I have a lot of underlying issues I need to address that cause these symptoms but I don't actually know what it is I'm finding peace for, I feel like whatever it is my mind has decided to block it out and now I just assume my anxiety is caused with no real trigger or cause.
Wow! That was so powerful and spoke to me! I have so many of these, head and chest pressure, clenched jaw, muscle twitching. Out of all the advice from this video that resonated with me was your last. Don't fight the symptoms work on inner peace! I needed this, I realize you have said this in many other videos, but in this one it was like the realization just slammed right into me Thank! Thank you Dennis!
Man... I suffer from health anxiety for 4/5 years now, mainly heart palpitation. I was feeling really better until covid... The media are totally toxic and people are (sorry) stupid. I feel so angry about things that since 1 month, I've got almost ALL the symptoms you mentioned. Thanks for putting words on this symptom
Same. I didn’t have palpitations for 19 years, then covid hit. My neighbors and friends all yell at me, call me a “fckn idiot” to my face, because I don’t want to live in fear like they do, and I don’t wear a msk outside. I’ve been physically threatened, and had multiple strangers tell me they hope I get the vrus and die. My palpitations started up again strong in about August of 2020, and it’s been a daily struggle since. I pray for Jesus to help, I watch Dennis and other channels for advice, and I take magnesium. That brought them down by about 90%. But I still am under tremendous stress. I pray for you all going through this with a sound mind. We’re not the crazy ones, stay strong, be kind.
@@joeltunnah Yeah, I'm in teh same kind of struggle too, I'm not vaxinated and here in France we need to be vaccinated just to go to the museum of a restaurant. I'm in fear for the future, my future childs ans, even catch covid, having issues and be ashamed of my positions..
I finally had to take the jab for my job, and the next day my astigmatism worsened (more blurry), the tinnitus in my left ear came back slightly, and I get numb feelings in hands/feet, slight sense of being off balance, and insomnia a bit. I keep thinking the shot gave me some neurological issue, however my MRI/MRA of brain/optic cavities are ok, nothing odd found, and neurologist says it's GAD. But I am still fearful of it being something else. I will not get the 2nd jab for sure.
I just ran into this video whe searching an affirmative video anf I am glad I did... My face is twitching as I text.. my anxiety is high and I'm not sure why.. thank you for this video I can now ask myself these questions and start my healing journey ❤
Thanks so much, I have been suffering for a year now with severe palpitations, muscle twitching and dizziness, it has been a very hard journey, your videos are very helpfull, thank you!
Maybe long post will help someone? Since having COVID and the bad reaction to the "\/" , I've become a total basket case. I have ALL of these anxiety symptoms, and more. BUT, I have a LONG history of somataform disorder, and anxiety. I had my first panic attack at age NINE. They had me on Ativan at age 10, (It was 1981, they didn't know better.) That was 42 years ago, and I've been plagued ever since. I did pretty well the 1st year of the pandemic, everyone else got to feel my "normal" everyday health anxiety... I was used to it. 😂 So, I do have pre-existing GAD, OCD, and PAD. But was generally healthy. But, then came the "\/" and within MINUTES, I had Vertigo, metallic tastes, hand tremors and Tinnitus. Within a few days, I had 2 DVTs and within a week I had an inflamed pituitary. Within a month came Peripheral Neuropathy, Thyroiditis, Adrenal problems and Leukopenia. (All real and all tested.) Needless to say, this has all turned my anxiety to UNREAL levels. My health anxiety is UNREAL. Example: Today I've taken my Pulse Ox over 20 times, my BP 8 times, my body temperature... Who knows, 50 times? In sum, as a new subscriber to this channel I've found SO much useful insight... BETTER than even my new psych doc. I'm tired of Remeron, tired of Klonopin, tired of Depakote ... I'm just plain tired. Anyway, THANK YOU AnxietyGuy for this channel. Am I ashamed to post this all publicly ... NOPE. At least I have one thing I'm not afraid of after 18 months of suffering. I'll pray for all of you fellow sufferers. Blessings.
I had my first panic attack three months ago and ever since then, it’s just been a roller coaster. I would have super good days and then the fear of death and health anxiety just started getting so intense I felt like I was going crazy. Still happens once in a while. I’m JUST finding your videos and it’s helping for sure thank you for this. I never used to make time for me because I’m my family, we were taught to hide emotions and feelings so there’s a lot buried that I’m now dealing with.
Me to bro happened to me i never had anxiety to this level i went down after my attack but been trying to heal and love my self more because nobody understands only the ones we been thew been rough but i been doing better
Hi Dennis. I’m on week 3 day 6 on the health anxiety program. Since I have been listening to you 2 months ago I had new symptoms come up and one was dizziness and depersonalization. I know my inner child is resistant to change but with the hell of your program I am on the right track and I know this is a transitional period of my life. I don’t think you understand all the knowledge you’re giving me is amazing. Thank you 🙏🏻
I am a nurse… working through is pandemic-I usually am stronger but these past 2 years have been hell- I too lost weight and checked out fine… our adrenaline is pupping constantly.,, we are in this together

What you said about Muscle Twitching is bang on. It is also the repeated disappointment one feels because you expect something/ a situation to be different because that's what we 'consider normal '. However I guess it's about accepting our reality and letting go of expectation. Difficult but worth trying.
God bless you ! I am on my anxiety journey and my doctors keep wanting me to take medication. I’m not really fond of it and I’m trying to figure out other alternatives and this is truly the best thing I’ve found. All the videos I seen so far have helped me understand what I am going through and help me to find peace with myself. I truly think God has lead me your way as I kept praying for him to direct me to help find peace with this. I’ve never been so thankful. Thank you for your videos
This may be the greatest video I have ever watched, it really helped me understand everything and why it was happening. I owe so much to you for making these videos.
Love this!! I’ve been dealing with major health anxiety and panic attacks due to health issues in my family recently, and from that I ignored myself and payed attention to my family. Trying to help them through they’re health issues, but since I’ve ignored myself for so long I feel anxious and I get heart palpitations and dizzy and shaky, I also get this blockage in my head that stops me from interacting or facing normal every day stuff. Every time I try to do something my brain stops thinking and it strains me from doing it. Then if I try I get a sense of warmth in my head and it makes my health anxiety go crazy, is there any way I can fix this blockage in my head? I’ve been staying in my room for the OST month and I avoid my family or talking and I feel horrible, but every time I try to talk to them or leave my room I get super anxious and dizzy. I get scared that I might pass out or if I might die, is there anything I could do to help? I have graduation very soon and I want to be able to do it. But I can’t if I’m in this state of mind and panic

@@Liliane.Ribeiro-m6v I'm getting accupuncure every week it eases a little but still there it's a horrible restless feeling in my body it won't let me sleep
God Bless you, man.. I am going through an anxiety journey and no one has explained this clearly so far.. Every point you described is a little epiphany to me.
Thank you for posting these videos . I had a baby 11 months ago and almost died. That experience triggered a major change in my mental health I constant fight-flight mode. I would watch your videos in the middle of the night to help me relive some anxiety.
Thanks a lot you pulled me out of dark tunnel and i felt so good and this is day 2 im on the road to recovery i havent sit and eat a good meal in 5 months and yesterday i had tea lunch and dinner by my girl friend and i felt so happy after months and please you saved me from sinking deeper thank you i enjoyed your videos its God who sent you lets praised him and continue to keep praying
What do you guys do when a certain time of the day of of your symptoms comes knocking ? Mine it’s always like problem breathing and bloated stomach , How do you make it go away and how long does it last for you ?
Hi Dennis...... happy new year have great year ahead....your affirmation have given me great strength in my anxiety recovery...... thank you...you are best in affirmation of anxiety in you tube...... doctors say that irritable bowel syndrome is due to psychological issues like stress most of the anxiety sufferers actually have IBS......can you do an affirmation video for healing digestive issues..... please brother you are best in affirmation.....please it's my humble request 🙂
This is one of the best videos you’ve made Dennis. Today has been exceptionally bad for me and it began with a pain in the middle of my chest. This sparked on other symptoms (feeling numbness in my nose, heart flutters, feeling hot and of course wanting the symptoms to go away) and I began watching this at the moment. I know you’ve heard this question a million times, but what if we just don’t know what we are suppressing? And could suppression also stem from feeling an emotion but then stopping it, either through being distracted at the time or just stopping it because we don’t want to fully feel it? I sense that this is what I do.
My health anxiety spurred from real health issues that were ignored and missed by doctors for years. Finally after persistence, I received a proper diagnosis and got my gallbladder removed before it killed me. That said, I still experience health anxiety and it's symptoms. I'm doing a lot better with your videos each day. I also understand my anxiety existed prior to this and I've been working on getting to the core. My question is how can I differentiate the fine line between my anxiety symptoms and real health problem symptoms as they are similar? I sometimes have trouble not reacting to symptoms because I was told by doctors for years to ignore symptoms that were real. My fear is I'll observe a symptom that I should react to and I may be too late reacting. How can I tell the difference?
About 3 months ago I had my very first panic attack or anxiety attack. It was a feeling that I had never experienced before. It scared me so much . Since then my mind has been very busy overthinking and making me feel like a completely different person. This video has teach me that I’m doing the opposite of what I should to treat my anxiety.
