Anxiety Coping Statements I am safe, I will be okay. I have survived this before. This anxiety does not define me. Not all thoughts are facts. I am brave, I can cope. I am stronger than I believe. I choose to slow down and breathe. I will focus on the present. I allow my feelings to be there. I Accept what is I Let go of what was I Have faith in what will be. I hope these statements encourages and strengthens someone today.
Nice reminders in the video: calm, false alarm, temporary. This morning I was going to do something that I had been avoiding for at least six months. I immediately noticed when driving that the symptoms were getting worse (I have symptoms like dizziness, big tension in the neck etc.) , but the knowledge and previous positive experiences kept me going. I stood in the parking lot, typed my expectations into my phone and went to see if this would come true (terrible expectations haha). I surrendered to what would happen and was now able to take the long walk in the woods and eventually I even noticed that some of the symptoms disappeared. Thought it would be nice to share.
I have read your book and think it is the perfect distillation of your teaching videos. I have been following your channel for 5 years and it has changed my life for the better. Thank you Dan for adding another resource to the toolbox of TMS/PDP recovery. ♥
I came up with a metaphor I liked after the call about this. It’s like when you first taste a really amazing dessert and you can taste every flavor and texture, but the more you eat it the more that flavor fades as your brain adapts to it or focuses on your conversation or other things. You have to work really hard and be really mindful to Keep tasting it. With symptoms, the same thing seems to be true. When you’re paying close attention, they seem really vivid and you can notice every detail. If you can put that down, yes they’re still there just like you’re still eating food, but the experience is a lot less vivid and other things can be even more important like conversation and the things around you.
I went from full focus on long covid multiple symptoms to absolute invalidating, not giving them any attention. I change my behavior to "non-trouble" mode. Includes singing, laughing, watch entertaining movie. Awfulf neck pain (of solid 3 years is gone in 4 weeks). I'm absolutely all in knowing im ok.
Thank you for this perfectly timed video. This is exactly where I am at right now. Seeing progress when I am distracted. It's the other times that are a challenge.
Thanks Dan ❤. I am getting there reducing the fear and the clarity that I am not broken. This has helped a lot to understand that noticing my pain doesn't mean I was doing something wrong. I found that the book has really helped bring everything together so thanks so much for doing it.
Just discovered your channel. I am hyper focused due to having MCAS. It is impossible to ignore my reactions and anaphalaxis but I want to learn to relax between daily episodes.
You’re the best Dan. I have improved so much since i was in your group 2 yrs ago, walking 2 miles, sitting for HOURS too. Traveling etc. all thanks to you!!
Thanks Dan for that clarification I definitely notice the loud constant ringing in the ears at times I focus on it cuz it's so loud and I recognize the fight and flight and when I do I calm myself down and reassure myself I'm okay this can't harm me more reassuring and less freaking out so that's a win😊
I appreciate you, Dan. I watch your videos every day but still struggle to fully understand for some reason. I'm at a point now in my POTS journey where after standing up for just a couple of minutes, it feels like fluid filling up under my left rib cage. I get left sided chest and upper back pain, feel slightly short of breath, and can feel my heart pounding in my chest and left upper abdomen. I've had treadmill stress tests, EKGs, and a cardiac MRI and it all came back normal. I worry that it's blood pooling in the veins of my chest or upper abdomen near my heart because I have venous insufficiency and varicose veins in my legs, as well as prominent veins in my arms and hands that showed up suddenly last year. I try my best to not be afraid, but it's so physically uncomfortable and exhausting to just stand up for more than a couple minutes that I'm forced to lie down most of the day. It's slowly stolen my life from me. I wish I could understand how to implement your advice but it's nearly physically impossible to stand up at this point. I know there's only so much you can say. I'm not sure how to take your advice and put it into action in my particular circumstance. I'm going to keep watching, even if I'm bed bound doing so. Congrats on the book release and amazing reception of it. Love ya, Dan.
Hey buddy, you sound like you’re having some hard times 😢. I would suggest you to calm your nervous system with language (tell yourself you’re ok, all your tests confirm that) and visualization. Visualize yourself completely healthy and living a normal life. Involve all your senses in it. Practice twice a day 15-30 minutes. Slowly but surely your body will begin producing DOSE chemicals instead of cortisol and adrenaline. So practice stepping out of your state of fear and hopelessness. Teach your brain and body how it feels to be normal again and live life. Do this consistently and your body will start to adjust to those feelings you visualize. Trust me, it works. But not tomorrow or next week, so keep practicing consistently. Good luck ❤
Start small , sit halfway up on the bed stretches then movements. The dopamine will start increasing. If you've been given the all clear to move take it easy. U will get up n moving. 🙏
The thing that I noticed about your post, since the video is about noticing, is that you seem rather “attached” to the string of words that amount to a diagnosis. Venous insufficiency. POTS. It’s hard when we go to a doctor’s office looking for compassion, for somebody to listen, and they hand us a suitcase containing the latest crazy word salad and tell you it is incurable. In the 2010s it was fibromyalgia and bipolar disorder. Carpal tunnel in the 00s. Everyone running around with braces around their forearms. The 20s seem to favor generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. I had to fill out a five-page questionnaire very carefully last week when I went for my routine physical, or I would have left with a prescription for some pharmaceutical. Don’t admit to them that you ever have a natural feeling like sadness, FFS. Who knows what they’ll do next. Do you see where I’m going with this? Lose the terms. They hold you back from recovering. It’s a first step. Put it all under TMS and move forward.
Hi there, I wonder how many of the people telling you it's just TMS have any idea what POTS is??? Let's give it a proper title - postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. In other words, when you stand your heart rate increases +++ and your blood pressure goes down to compensate+++. This means you feel dizzy and faint. It is horrible, I had it after covid in 2020, and it took me a couple of years to get the better of it. You can overcome it and recover from it, and if it helps I can tell you what helped for me. First I took a low dose betablocker to help control the mad heart rate (Bisoprolol 1.25mg), and I don't need to take them now. I drank plenty of water (warm) to ensure that my blood pressure was at a good level, and I added electrolytes (Dioralyte) to ensure a proper sodium/ potassium balance. The heartrate variability between lying down and standing can be re-established by lying flat on your bed for a few minutes. You can then re-establish a reasonable rate in standing for some time. These are practical strategies that work, as well as anything else you might do. They work. xx
You’re right, Kate King. That probably sounded like an insensitive post. I apologize to anyone who may have been hurt or angered by what I said. However, the only way I can deal with the stuff I’ve been dealing with in the past few years, the only method that was successful, is what I described above. Not letting myself get wrapped around the axle of chronic conditions and naming. I tried western medical approaches, supplements, acupuncture, reiki, etc. Everything under the sun (for a list of symptoms almost as long as Helmut’s at Mindful Gardener). I’m really sorry you are going through this, IndialenJones. But I think you’re in the right place.
Hey Dan brought your book recently thank you for making it available. Also in your perspective what do you think of autoimmune conditions like Eczema and Hashimotos? Are those also considered TMS and are there any success stories?
I have a symptom that makes me feel broken and like there’s something wrong with me the doctors can’t find. My lips get outlined in blue/purple and if you google it, that means bad news. I’ve been to the doctors soooo many times about it but guess what?? They never turn blue at the doctors office!! And I’ve had my heart, lungs, blood oxygen, etc everything looked at and no one knows why they turn blue. They do act like a mind body symptom bc it only happens sometimes, usually when standing. It’s hard though bc I do have high anxiety which I know causes my shortness of breath and I have chronic dizziness. So when I see the blue lips I panic bc all those symptoms if you google it means a medical emergency. But I’ve been to the ER so many times and everything always comes back normal. I’m tired of giving them all my money. I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time. They have helped a lot. I’m no longer bed bound and I started working again. However, the doubt is so big. That the doctors missed something and I’m slowly dying. That’s the story in my mind. I know I need to change it. It’s hard when I’ve never heard of anyone having the blue lips like I have. What if this is all temporary? What if I do recover? What if there is really nothing wrong? What if I’m not broken? What if the best years of my life are ahead?? What if one day I can be one of your recovery stories and share all my bizarre symptoms to give hope to others? Thanks for your videos! They give me the motivation to live life every single day.
Can you do a video on tethered cord and cervical instability or even CSF leaks I know a lot of people in those communities are following TMS stuff as well Or maybe my question about genetics having another family member with the same symptoms and how that can be TMS
Hello Dan, yesterday I had a colonoscopy done at the hospital I remember laying in the hospital bed feeling all tense and jittery.. I have to learn to relax. I believe it would have been a lot more easier. Then anesthesiologist put me to sleep with propofol I'm home and ok now. But my body is sore from all the tension from yesterday
Anxiety hangover, it's normal. You've done the hard bit. Just think you're all clean inside. Colonoscopy arrgh have had a few. Usually I'm on a high after it's done but the next day I'm exhausted.
Visual symptoms sooooo hard not to notice!!!! ( eye floaters / distortion etc for 18 months ) everything else I’ve had / have - I can deal with better. Anyone dealt with this and got any advice ?
Eye floaters are a normal thing. millions of people have them. it is just part of your vitreous gel that sheds as you age. normal aging process. I used to freak out as well, but when the eye doctor told me my vision was all normal, and that the floaters were normal, I relaxed
@@nancyrussell6598 I've had that before. you are correct. just anxiety. I've even had "kaleidoscope" colorful floaters that move around in my eye. Caffeine, IMO is not optimal, as it releases more cortisol.
@@1996cd5 do you believe they are associated to TMS due to hyper vigilance ? As in they are always there, but TMS’ers see them more? Mine started with the other TMS symptoms . That’s my theory !!!
I'm trying to do things in spite of the symptoms like for instance I went from doing 0 push-ups due to the fear to now I did 12 the other day on a matter of weeks however I still have the thoughts about its damaging my body because the whole time my muscles are shaking Not due to weakness but due to whatever is causing my neurological shaking. How do I believe that everything is safe and I'm not damaged if I'm shaking the whole time? Shaking tremors spasms are a big symptom of mine even when im jot doing pushups...even ifki ateo out in the cold
Thanks Dan! My symptoms are located in my EYES, my right eye in particular. I feel pain, burning, uncomfort like having something stuck there and some blurry vision. I've been watching your videos for almost a year and I got better, im almost 80% symptom free but like you explained in one of your past videos, you need to be capable to be completely unbothered by the symptoms for them to be gone. Since the symptons are in my eye which is arguably the most used of the five senses, im really struggling to be unbothered by them, its very difficult to ignore them. If anyone have any advice on dealing with this I would appreciate it.
Being completely unbothered is not required. Do your best to be LESS bothered. But as I speak about often, having clarity as to the cause of symptoms is key. Have you ruled out any problems with your eyes with the doctors? Pain and blurry vision can be a mindbody condition. Have you ruled IN TMS/Perceived danger as the cause?

@@PainFreeYou Thanks for answering Dan! My condition started almost 5 years ago and I've seen multiple opthalmologists and neurologists, had MRIs and OCT and other tests and they ruled out any problem. One doctor told me I had moderate to severe dry eyes (so it was both of my eyes) so I was on a long kind of maintenance and improvemente treatment and after a year he told me everything was looking fine but still got symptoms. The funny thing is that 90% of the time it was only my right eye and whenever i felt the symptoms on the left eye the right one felt normal. I found your channel at a point when I was completely desperate and I took both tests in your website and its definetely TMS. Its clear to me and I havent seen any doctor since then because I dont want to shake the fence like you often say. I think I have the knowledge part covered but its the attention and the focusing part that im struggling with. Like I said its my eyes, and vision so its veeery hard at least for me, but I know that if I can find a way to take this last step I'll be completely fine.
I'm doing the protocols recommended and my symptoms are not changing & somedays getting worse. Maybe a hip replacement would be easier....not sure how to navigate through this. Some days I feel utterly hopeless.
Hi Dan and subscribers.I know you said nobody is special, but I can't find anyone that has contracted knees locked in flexion and severe weakness in the legs. I could not walk or stand for 5 years. Dr's could not give me answers. I still spend the majority of the day in bed, but I made progress with a personal trainer friend. I can now walk up to 30 minutes straight, but then I fatigue badly and I'm walking tip toe because my heels won't go down cause of the knee contractions. How do you focus on liviing life like this? I do also have severe back pain for 35 years, a frozen shoulder from crawling up stairs, tinnitus I believe is from wearing headphones alot, my mouth is so dry and sticky. I can't stop pressing my tongue against my front tooth 24/7, my tongue gets cut up. I also have extremely painfully erections and ejacution. Acid reflux. Definitely have anxiety, depression, PTSD and brain fog from the symptoms and trauma in my life. My mom is mentally ill and a major narcissistic, bad tempered, alcoholic who I have no choice but to live with her. I lost my girlfriend, my friends and everything I had. My job, apartment, car, all my possessions. Which included guitars, clothes, electronics, everything. I'm also addicted to xanax for the last 7 years. Got off pain meds cold turkey. Abandoned by my father, have no other real family. Mom and Dad used to beat each other and break everything when I ws 6 years old. I can't believe I haven't committed suicide. I'm so traumatized. I could write a book. Sorry for the long ass rant. Is this all TMS? Partly? Its hard to have belief when in limbo. Dr's can't find shit, but the usual herniated disc and spinal stenosis diagnosis which they never said I needed surgery for. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I know it's alot. I'm just beyond burnt out. I have more symptoms, but these are the worst.

My mom is mentally ill and a major narcissistic, bad tempered, alcoholic who I have no choice but to live with her. I lost my girlfriend, my friends and everything I had. My job, apartment, car, all my possessions. Which included guitars, clothes, electronics, everything. I'm also addicted to xanax for the last 7 years. Got off pain meds cold turkey. Abandoned by my father, have no other real family. Mom and Dad used to beat each other and break everything when I ws 6 years old. I can't believe I haven't committed suicide. I'm so traumatized. I could write a book. Sorry for the long ass rant. Is this all TMS? Partly? Its hard to have belief when in limbo. Dr's can't find shit, but the usual herniated disc and spinal stenosis diagnosis which they never said I needed surgery for. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I know it's alot. I'm just beyond burnt out. I have more symptoms, but these are the worst.
Lol I told you I was similar man.
