1. Rest physically AND mentally 2. Mild physical exercise (walking, biking etc…) 3. Diminishing use of electronic devices, staying away from modem etc… (not overdoing it either) 4. Connect with nature daily 5. Reflect on your habits that may cause this 6. Patience, give yourself time to heal
I'm going to listen to this hundreds of times. What he is explaining... It is exactly me. I don't feel anxious but the waves and physical symptoms come daily

I was diagnosed with GAD several decades ago, I’m 53 now. I am rarely consciously anxious about anything, yet my body has so many anxious symptoms: tremors inside, nervous tummy, fast heart rate. I’ve been in fight or flight for SO long, stressed for so long, and this video describes me for the first time. Thank you for your tireless efforts!! 🙏💕
I just started having tingling in the bottom of my feet. Going to get a food massage soon. Used to have pins and needles in my thigh but they finally went away! I’m not trying to worry about anything anymore. But I did have fatigue and it’s most likely related to my sleep apnea, so I’m getting that checked out again. Plus,taking a vacation can relieve my fatigue too. I am trying to cure all chronic hyperstimulation. Resting my mental body is super important!
Ah yes - the worrying/doership - that magical thinking that you have to "apply" a certain amount of worry to something - to prevent it from happening - WOW that was eye opening for me after all these years of doing this!
I know that this is something I’m experiencing bc I’m in my healing journey, going through therapy etc.. and I feel like I’m getting stronger and better but it is a process. When ur healing and growing u begin to notice so many things brought on by the disorder for example with me I find my self moving 90% of the day, where small or large movements. Just in general my nervous system is so amped and ramped lol. It’s helpful to know that we can overome this … I’m praying for everyone on this journey! Thanks Dennis for ur wisdom and transparency ❤
Multiple traumas from a child until my late 20s left me in a state of chronic fight or flight. Relaxing has been the most difficult thing. As you describe my body is so used to being hypersensitive and vigilant to everything around me and in my body. I hope if I keep doing what your videos say I’ll one day be better. It’s so exhausting 😢❤
This was so helpful! Thank you! Another symptom I experience is feeling like my vision is almost too clear. I can see something move from the corner of my eye across the room. The lights bother me at times too.
@@oliwiaprusaczyk7351 4months ago when my first panick attack happened, since then my vision changes alot and never back to normal , to be specific my vision is so dim and i can't even stand at daylight or anything I'm scared that i feel like i am going to blind
I truly believe that hyperstimulation is what has been causing my sensations for a few years now. I became aware of this last year and I'm so glad you're addressing it in this video. My problem continues to be trusting that this is actually what I'm going through. It's all "uncomfortable energy" as you have said. I feel there are times during in each day that I am making progress but there always seems to be something hanging around that brings me back to fear. I know it's all "me" like you just said. I know what to do (thanks to you) and I just need to trust and be more consistent. Thank you Dennis for all that you're doing.
Thank you so much!!! I have ocd, gad, panic attacks and adhd and they have consumed my life for about 18 months now. And i feel like my body is always in electric shock or vibrating with anxiety. You are a blessing to all of us that struggle! I get so hopeless at times and recently your meditations ate helpingg me so much!
Thank you Dennis Been experiencing a lot of these odd symptoms and always wonder about them. During a conversation I sometimes feel like my body wants to just get rid of it as quickly as possible and escape, the lights , loud noises and the blurry vision / off balance / as well as getting irritated upset very easily
Zaps and chest pain...day after day after day.......trying to communicate with and calm the inner child, but he's seemingly not listening. Just a trip to the $ store to pick up a few items is a challenge. I hate it. I'm aging faster than I should be.
The analogy of someone sitting in a "meditative parasympathetic state" amid chaos really spoke to me. This is all so internal.....its learning how to take that energy and make Peace with it. It's definitely a journey, one I'm grateful to be on and again thanking the Universe for you Dennis and your wisdom. 🌿🙏
Denis, thank you for this tutorial. This is exactly how I live: Chronic Stress. I wake up feeling anxious and the sensation never goes away, even if I'm not doing anything that day or moment. I will watch this over and over again. You're a Gift from God!
This is really relevant to me at this time. I’ve let the main sources of my stress go the past six months yet I still feel jacked up. I appreciate this perspective. Makes total sense.
Your not alone my friend, it's hell sometimes and overwhelming it's not pleasant and can't stop it, Been watching my own symptoms change and things do impact daily life but positive vibes and try to not focus too much on them!
wow I feel so happy you brought up the muscle twitching. I've had this and parasthesia in my face for 4.5 years. I am so happy you brought up hyperstimulation. I think i'm figuring out a lot of things now on the healing path but my body just hasn't caught up...
I would also suggest people with ongoing anxiety with no real external.cause look into BVD. Binocular Vision Dysfunction. It is essentially your eyes misaligned horizontally or vertically. It causes so much stress on your brain and ocular nerves resulting in your subconscious mind sending alert signals. Vertigo, migraines, anxiety, burn out, overstimulated in shops/crowds, social anxiety are all symptoms of BVD plus so many more. A Neuro optician can diagnose and prescribe prism glasses. Resources and an online questionnaire can be found on UA-cam channels talking about this. Best wishes and I hope this helps someone - it has helped me immensely.
Hit so many excellent points, all of which hit home. "I'm better now, so I can go back to doing the things that got me here in the first place." YES. 🤦♂️😱😤😤
I realized I just never felt relaxed even though I was just sitting down hanging out. Super internalized fear. I'm really worried about my health and future so I want to learn about what's going on and really work on being aware of my reactions to every thing ... as it's really in a heightened state right now. I appreciate all the ideas in the video.👓
I had a GREAT day today. I was fine! Ran errands, had lunch with hubby, we laughed, we watched movies and I cooked dinner for the kids. Amazing day!! Than while watching a movie, BAM! A sharp pain on my left temple. I’m like, wait, what was that? I don’t have a headache so I immediately started massaging my temple and than the over thinking began but I’m keeping myself calm, took a nap so I won’t feel it again but woke up from a nap feeling it on both temples now. Again. I’m not jumping up and down, I’m still calm but like what’s going on!? I got up and felt dizzy and my both feels tingly, my toes and fingers. Usually this would put me in panic mode but I’m controlling that part. Currently laying in bed trying to get this to pass. 😢 I hate that I go thru this.
I like how you talk about doing mini vacations throughout the day, I usually do 3, 5 minute ones each day. I also follow your program every single morning and its keeping me committed, I see a lot of progress. Thank you for all your videos
This entire video is exactly ME! Yo ur comment which really resonated with me ws that I am the reason my anxiety keeps increasing. My ego mind is in control. I am definitely Hyperstimulated and have been for the majority of my life. I have always been stressed out, worried, etc. I just thought that was how everyone was. I am the only one who can stop this cycle. I will give it my best and I will succeed! Thank you Dennis for all you do.
Yes, Dennis, we KNOW what you're talking about. You 100% described the horror of anxiety. Thank you for helping us ❤ Your dog is so beautiful. He's reconnecting with the nature as we watching you 😊
I must say that my confusion remains regarding hyperstimulation and exercise. I’ve been reading from multiple sources that we should train vigorously when under hyperstimulation to help burn excess adrenaline off. I’ve been running and although my stamina has shot up I am still sensitized. I feel like I’m “plugged in” as you say. One thing I haven’t tried though is resting! 😂 So I guess that’s next on the list…or at least going a lot lighter. Regarding the EMFs, I’ve recently thought about that as I wear a smart watch daily but if I’m still being triggered by intrusive thoughts I guess I should look at those first before I blame the watch 😂 Thanks Dennis great video.
Thanks for all the content Dennis. You have helped me process, rationalize and move through what I’m going through. I searched long and hard to find a community or voice that felt I could associate my journey with before stumbling upon your channel. Please keep it up and let me know how best to support you.
I felt like a normal person before 2020. Never once knew what a panic attack was until i got one myself and now everything has changed about me. Started developing numbness, chest pains, head pressures, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, legs feeling heavy, shakiness and tremors. List goes on... its exhausting as hell..
Same here smh it’s crazy seeing so many people going through the same thing but you don’t know what people are going through in reality in normal going life because we hide everything but we are more open on social media
@@SacredVisions- yea it's so sad though because in real life I would never tell a soul about what I'm going through and honestly I sometimes wish that I had people who I could talk to in real life but also I'm really grateful that I can at least share my personal experiences with anxiety online too with like-minded people 🙏
@@Caringsoul245 well I just want you to know everything you said in your comment is exactly what I was just saying the other day my panic attacks started in December around Christmas I never knew this feeling or the symptoms that come with it. I heard people talk about it in my past life but never paid any attention because it wasn’t happening to me now I know how they felt and how scared they were smh your not alone
Thanking you from my heart.. your videos are essential for maintenance and healing! I've said it a thousand times Dennis simsek saved my life!! Peace be with you Dennis ❤️
❤Dennis I’ve been watching you for the last year and this video has spoken to me in so many ways and I appreciate you so much for your help to us all as this is a journey and you are showing me the way ! Thank you so very much ❤
Omg....what you just spoke about is totally me! I have had anxiety, my whole life. I have been anxious about everything I have ever . I just thought that everyone was like that! My ego centered mind has always taken the lead. I have always listened to it. It never occurred to me that I didn't have to listen to it. I have a masters degree and have worked professionally for over 30 years. I went to work every day with lots of anxiety. I always tried to hide it from my coworkers. A light bulb moment for me. Thank you Dennis so much.
I experienced this and will analyze why I'm feeling the way I do. It's like I go from peace to symptoms out of nowhere then I worry and then the conscious anxiety kick in and so the vicious cycle. This is a default mode.
It was beginning to occur to me that my nervous system might be hyperstimulated after years of stress (bereavement, accident, illness), yet in a calm period now. And up pops your video to confirm😊
Great video. Need some clarity on reflect on your habits that may cause this? Also I'm feeling like the back of my neck is heavy and I get a floating feeling and this causes me to fear that my balance is off, although I've never fallen.
Hi Dennis I would say listening to your podcasts over the past couple of years my anxiety was truly on the mend but lately things have started to goings wrong in normal life and hay ho I feel my anxiety creeping back 😢. So I've started listening to your podcasts again and I'm not sure what happens but listening to your voice really calms me. Hopefully I'll be back to feeling calm again very soon. Thank you so much ❤
Does anyone have so much anxiety physical symptoms say like before when i had dentist this morning that after the event you literally can't move once you get home for every muscle is hurting and headache and tired legs really ache as if I've just run a marathon and just want to go to sleep, very larthargic .
I’ve always had anxiety, even when I didn’t know what it was. I’ve gone up and down with my anxiety for years. At times, it is unbearable. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed health anxiety. I was recently diagnosed with mild glaucoma and even though I didn’t think it would create anxiety, I have been hyper sensitive since. I feel like this video is really going to help me. I stumbled upon your site last week and I can’t believe how much it has relaxed and comforted me at times. I’m going to keep watching. I have a lot to learn.
I really appreciate how I can choose to watch any of your videos at random and each one has helped me in a time of need! It’s as if the universe is choosing the episodes I need at the time I need them in order without me realizing it until now. I am forever grateful for your healing guidance and sacrifice’s Dennis!
You are absolutely brilliant. I have never met you and I feel I owe you my life. It took me a year and a half, but finally…FINALLY, I am feeling free from anxiety. That was a hellish ride. Everything you say in this video is absolutely true. From mild exercise to loud noises… you really nail anxiety symptoms and information in every video. Theee most helpful utube channel I have come across ever. Words cannot express my gratitude. 💜💜💜
@@studioofstyles6585 hi there! First of all, you’re on the right track by tuning into this channel. It helped me a lot. Also, Time and as much self care as you can manage. It really took me by surprise when I woke up one morning and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I was having the worst headaches and could not figure out what was going on with my mind. I couldn’t function. My therapist insisted I take time off work. Being self employed, that was impossible. So I really had to figure out how I was going to manage this. Try and stay present and do lots of deep breathing to regulate your nervous system. One day it will be gone. Relax as much as you can.. don’t be surprised if you come across physical challenges once your anxiety subsides. I’m dealing with back issues as a result of muscle tension from cortisol levels being so high. Keep taking care of yourself. Hope this helps you.
My heart goes out to you. It’s not easy. Fear is the worst place to plant our thoughts. Giving too much attention to what’s not working in our lives is destructive.
Thanks for another video and message Dennis! Right. That "Doership" Mindset is something that has plagued many. I have suffered from this greatly, but thankfully I am not that way anymore, I most times catch that voice and think something different. Everyday is a chance and opportunity to move further away from that old mindset. Thanks again!
This is an amazing wealth of information, it's amazing how he is describing exactly what I have been experiencing for so long. I have been in clinical therapy in the past but this is gold.
This is so me. After tapering off several prescribed meds, almost two years ago, and experiencing terrible withdrawals, my body has never completely healed. I'm still hypersensitive and have health anxiety. Thanks for all your help! I've only been listening for a week and am starting to improve. I've ordered one of your books and may eventually do one of your programs. What a blessing you are.
It’s been so impossible to explain to friends/family and my doctor what I’ve been experiencing. I can share this video with them because it perfectly describes what I feel daily. I have nothing to blame my anxiety on, but it is still there. Hopefully now they can make better sense of what I’ve been saying for so long. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for making this video! I listened three times. It very much applies to me. I just wish I knew this stuff many years ago, but happy to be learning it now, nonetheless. I drove myself crazy with the buzzing, convinced that there was a serious problem. It’s still present, but I don’t care much these days. Really helpful, thanks Dennis.
Hi Dennis Ive been going thru it for years already.. starting 2021 it go worse thats when all my physical symptoms started to appear, I had every single symptom I felt like I was going crazy, I visited numerous doctors had lots of test done and every single time all of them came perfect! Nothing was wrong it was my anxiety. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 months already and they have been helping tremendously thank u.One thing I’ve noticed is that when I over exercise, my anxiety and pains get worse after im done, I dnt sleep because im thinking that I’m going to be sore and that everything’s going to hurt for following days. I definately can over do it anymore like I used to years ago and it makes me really sad. The more I think about thing that worse things get, talking to myself and telling myself everything will be fine helps a lot and meditation. Thank you Dennis 7:46
Thank you I am glad I watched this video i’ve been free from anxiety for seven days up till today. For some reason I started to feel overwhelmed any advice from me greatly appreciated 😊
Block your time. Make it non-negotiable for yourself to actually show up.Even if it's just for one hour a day, you're getting yourself to go and do something. You start to build an emotional muscle of following through on what you said that you would, and that starts to build self-esteem.
After having two girls wheras one has severe epilepsy (brain surgery, VNS-surgery) special diet, autism and other special needs, getting divorced from their narc-dad who is and was not very interested in Them. Mom 24/7 - 8 years in, Im here for a good reason I think. Almost cried happy tears hearing you talk about muscle-twitching, it has been freaking me OUT! Its been in my legs, especially when sitting to relax and trying to sleep, making me do stuff ALL the Time because of severe anx!was almost Going crazy at 2 pm. Last night. Tried some deep breaths (as you talked about in an other video) and helped me not reach the oxabenz! I have also had some vibrating sensation in my body om and off for the last 6 months. Now I know What its all about. Thank you!
Dennis, I got to a place where I have broken a lot of negative patterns and I feel the progress each day. Thanks for your guidance. The part where you talk about doership speaks to me because now I know how the ego mind works. Any suggestions for someone who is in his 20s and has suffered from anxiety for a long time in the past?
Yes, choose to no longer be led by the ego minds directives, deep relaxation, and use my reframing video to clear any feelings that are still present from the past.
I am so grateful for stumbling upon your channel, you have brought me so much peace of mind and have taught me new tricks to calm my mind and accept the symptoms for what they are. I can't thank you enough for your channel and your calm demeanor. Here is my anxiety story! I've always had general anxiety all my life, you know like being shy and nervous to talk to new people, talk in front of a group of people, sudden life changes, etc...nothing like debilitating though. I've never been concerned about my health as I'm a generally healthy person and I rarely ever go to the doctor, unless I'm like, dying. After I got sick with covid 2 years ago right at Christmas, my anxiety absolutely skyrocketed for no reason. No I wasn't scared of the virus, it wasn't any different for me than a bad cold/sore throat. I honestly 100% think covid affects your brain chemistry. One day after being sick for a week and a half but starting to recover, I just woke up with this impending doom, something is wrong feeling, for NO REASON. It scared me to death and I couldn't get away from it or control it. I had multiple panic attacks thinking I was dying or something. NEVER EVER had those thoughts or feelings before. I dealt with this feeling for months on and off, during that summer it gave me heart palpitations and PVC's for 3 days straight out of nowhere. You want to talk about fear...I thought I had a heart condition because even though I have had them before periodically, I've never had them happen consecutively ever like that. I got checked out by the cardiologist, they put a 24 hr heart monitor on me and captured many heart palpitations and told me they look perfectly normal and not to worry. EKG came back perfect, bloodwork came back perfect, blood pressure is perfect...no reason for me to be having these symptoms other than anxiety, and being overweight. So whenever I would have even just one PVC, I would immediately go into panic attack. They slowed down a lot over the last year but I still periodically get a couple, sometimes its just one, sometimes its a few in a row. They still scare me because they're so uncomfortable feeling. My symptoms have recently been changing the last couple months. I now get more muscle twitches all over my body, including my face, mouth and tongue when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I also sometimes get tingling down my arms to my fingers. I get that whole body buzzing feeling too. But none of these symptoms are constant, its just sometimes. I even had 3 days of thinking my tongue was swollen and it felt alien to my mouth, it was the weirdest thing, its fine now. So I started thinking brain cancer, MS or ALS of course because its always the worst case scenario. Now, I have had mild scoliosis all my life, so muscle twitching is not uncommon for me at all. But I hyper focus on every little symptom now, thinking its a new thing. I'm now a hypochondriac. I finally started taking 50mg of Zoloft and it has helped me so much only taking it for 3 weeks now. I've always hated taking pills for anything unless I have to, so I never tried anything like that ever before. I feel so much calmer and if I do get a symptom, my anxiety doesn't jump to a 10, its more of a 5 or 6 if that. I'm working on telling myself that its just anxiety, I am perfectly healthy and its just my mind playing tricks on me and I have the choice to just let go of the fear and experience the symptom and try to ignore it. I'm slowly getting better and dealing with it in a better way. If anyone else has experienced symptoms like these, comment below and tell me your story!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m going through the same kind of symptoms. Buzzing all over the body, pins and needles, weak burning muscles, and it’s really driving me into a hole. You mentioned taking Zoloft. Did this help all the sensations like the buzzing go away? My dr prescribed it to me but I keep putting a hold on it, but I think I may have no choice at this point to feel better. How long were you on it for and if you stopped were the feelings completely gone once you stopped! Thanks for all your help!!
You are helping me understand what anxiety is and what to do. So complex. So much to figure out! So much to work on. So many layers to peel back. I don't think I'll ever peel all the onion. That is a feeling that it's too much and why bother I'll never get to the core. The journey doesn't end. It feels like a struggle that won't ever end. There is always something that won't be right. Yea it's me....
In truth, it’s not so complicated. Bring safety back into your life in the present and from past experiences (through reframing) and the brain will rewire itself.
I’m 20 years old and I feel like I’ve done nothing but suffer for years, I just wish I was better and all of this would go away feeling this way is exhausting it makes me feel like such an outcast and like everyone I know could ever understand, I barely understand myself just want all of it to go away and feel at peace n calm
This vid is so me. I dont feel as though I deserve to be okay. Seems as though without thinking it, that any good for me is going to involve suffering as well. I didnt realize til last year that i was abused as a child. It was all mental but nonetheless. Today I suffer from medical anxiety and ocd. Have done so for years but never knew the label for it. My counselor is trying to help me get to the root of it all from my early childhood. Praying for peace one day. My palpitations recurr from time to time but have been having them a bit more as of late. I wake in the morning waiting on them. Just to break this vicious cycle. Luckily I go to my primary care in a couple weeks. Hopefully she can help me with the palpitations so i can relax and focus on my mental healing. Thanks for all you do brother 👊🏻
Excellent vidéo Dennis. As usual it felt like you were speaking directly to me and my situation so highly beneficial. Thankyou, to all the others struggling have a beautiful and productive day, and yes Dennis we love you to from the bottom of Our collective hearts ❤️. 🧘🏼❤️🧠
I needed to hear this today. I have had 2 sessions with a therapist . He is amazing and has givem me. great advice. I feel so good after a session and have such hooe that these good feelings will continue. Just the opposite is true so far. After both sessions I woke up with panic attack. I don't know why. Then I get so discouraged and down on myself. I try to realize that healing is a journey and will take time, but how much time? I have been following you for a long time and I need some tips on How to not get so discouraged. Is this normal f or most people😢?
This is so true i just had a dream and this is just what is happening to me now i understand what is really going on in me . I experience so many things in life than when i go to sleep time and time after i dream about it and would take it for reality
I’ve past traumas that really affected my adolescence and now I see my self not having any of those things that triggered me but I still have that in my mind and overthink and just het stress and anxious every single day
Thank you Dennis, this was a very helpful video that relates to me. I had a traumatic experience a couple of years ago. Things that would happen before this trauma like feeling my heart beat are more noticeable now because of this hyper stimulated state that I’m in.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1Makes me better to know that I’m not alone :) This specific symptom of the pounding heart often makes me wonder if something is physically wrong with me.
Hello. You are absolutely correct and on it. Thank you for bringing it to the visual arena of this. May I ask. Are you still experiencing symptoms now and then or has it gone away?
This is a great video! Thank you for being so clear on the signs and what to do to support ourselves. Definitely taking notes - notebook and pen is necessary for sure! 🙏🏻
For me I did not realise my ego mind was kicking in when I got to a point of feeling stuck when doing exposure work. I'd be fine and doing really well, huge progress then nothing so would feel like maybe I dont deserve to get better and I should just accept this is how my life is going to be, and i would punish myself with all this negativity because as you say it's like you don't deserve it unless you suffer. Now looking at this journey so far, I have punished myself alot and it didnt make any difference to the time spent stuck, i didnt magically become unstuck i just felt terrible about the situation and beat myself up day and night until i just stopped. That's when i became unstuck again and continued my progress. 😃👍🏻 thank you Dennis for sharing and making so much sense ❤
I feel electrical currents through my body at certain times-I tried to explain it to a cardiologist and they just ignored me. I also am wondering about the EMF issue-but, I definitely am the person who has gotten into the habit of over intellectualizing any issue my body may feel or happen-figuring that I need to figure it out. Because I KNOW the doctors won't be able to. LOL but that's true too. It's exhausting. I am doing much better now that I am aware of what habits are perpetuating my anxiety-I also have given up negative thinking and self talk or talking about something that bothers me in my head all the time. Thank you for everything Dennis- I listen to your recordings a lot. Most of this began after I had a series of unfortunate events-whiplash/assault/and health issues all in a row.
Just followed every word you said and realised that I have been experiencing it all the time without realising the damage being done to my mind and finally I ended up with chronic anxiety and depression, so soothing to hear your thoughts on the recovery process Iam nearing the end of the tunnel and hope to see the light. Hyper stimulation is absolutely real and my journey so far has been challenging, Iam not giving up on my healing and hope to set myself free from the ego’s and negative stimulants, life is all from inside out and thankyou for the reassurance. God bless
I started chewing my tongue this year. No idea why or initially that I am actually doing so. I don’t feel well but the gp’s in Great Britain just shove me out the door as they tell me I am fine. I’m not convinced by their neglect of MY statement. 😢
I heard my boss telling someone how competitive the hiring process was and that i performed the best hence i have the job now, who am i? Well im someone who never sees any goodness in me , my abilities, i always tell myself i cant. And hearing that just did something for me and ive now decided to not be a slave to the negativity which has sat over my potential and my awesomeness, hence im here to get ideas on how to get out and be free
I’ve had this hyper stimulation problem for many years and the culprit is excessive exercise, stressful events and sometimes caffeine ! It’s a merry go round that sometimes ends up with me up in middle of night and next day ruined because of sleep deprivation!
Stop coping and start healing anxiety at the root starting today: theanxietyguy.com/all-programs/
1. Rest physically AND mentally
2. Mild physical exercise (walking, biking etc…)
3. Diminishing use of electronic devices, staying away from modem etc… (not overdoing it either)
4. Connect with nature daily
5. Reflect on your habits that may cause this
6. Patience, give yourself time to heal
thank you for the instructions. :)
Blessings for this recap.
Habits are a really big one , drugs , caffeine, smoking , diet
My biggest problem is patience, I'll start doing better things to change but in like a week I'll be like ugh it's not working and I'll be back to zero
Me too just after a good week I wake up the next Monday and whoosh it's back.@@Farhiya-b8f
I'm going to listen to this hundreds of times. What he is explaining... It is exactly me. I don't feel anxious but the waves and physical symptoms come daily

I’ve been in fight or flight for SO long, stressed for so long, and this video describes me for the first time. Thank you for your tireless efforts!! 🙏💕
Im going through a lot. I am curious if you found anything through blood work? My doctors never found anything
Anyone else also feel chronic fatigue and sometimes tingling pain like pins and needles everywhere?
All the time
Yes
Yes
Yes. Definitely.
I just started having tingling in the bottom of my feet. Going to get a food massage soon. Used to have pins and needles in my thigh but they finally went away! I’m not trying to worry about anything anymore. But I did have fatigue and it’s most likely related to my sleep apnea, so I’m getting that checked out again.

So very welcome, let's all keep up the progress.
Sadly,to me prayers are just a joke now in this Dog eat Dog world , no one seems to care
Love this thank you
@@ilse-u6x there’s still many of us who do!
How are you now
Multiple traumas from a child until my late 20s left me in a state of chronic fight or flight. Relaxing has been the most difficult thing. As you describe my body is so used to being hypersensitive and vigilant to everything around me and in my body. I hope if I keep doing what your videos say I’ll one day be better. It’s so exhausting 😢❤
Many of us can relate, enjoy the channel.
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Another symptom I experience is feeling like my vision is almost too clear. I can see something move from the corner of my eye across the room. The lights bother me at times too.
I used to have that so bad I couldn't stand the lights being on
Been there! Just another symptom year on and it's not so noticeable anymore as others take it's place😢
Does sunlight or the day light affect your sight too? Pls i really need to know
Yes it certainly does!
@@oliwiaprusaczyk7351 4months ago when my first panick attack happened, since then my vision changes alot and never back to normal , to be specific my vision is so dim and i can't even stand at daylight or anything I'm scared that i feel like i am going to blind
A warm shower followed by a cold rinse helps me out alot
I truly believe that hyperstimulation is what has been causing my sensations for a few years now. I became aware of this last year and I'm so glad you're addressing it in this video. My problem continues to be trusting that this is actually what I'm going through. It's all "uncomfortable energy" as you have said. I feel there are times during in each day that I am making progress but there always seems to be something hanging around that brings me back to fear. I know it's all "me" like you just said. I know what to do (thanks to you) and I just need to trust and be more consistent. Thank you Dennis for all that you're doing.
Very welcome, keep up the progress.
Thank you so much!!! I have ocd, gad, panic attacks and adhd and they have consumed my life for about 18 months now. And i feel like my body is always in electric shock or vibrating with anxiety. You are a blessing to all of us that struggle! I get so hopeless at times and recently your meditations ate helpingg me so much!
Same. Plus the dizziness, balance issues, heart palpitations.... man... it's horrible
Wow I hope you get through what you’re going through 😢 your not alone been to er 15 times already
Any pain symptoms@@SacredVisions-
@@Truerealism747 yeah on and off not as bad it was a few months ago Lexapro been helping alot
Thank you Dennis
Been experiencing a lot of these odd symptoms and always wonder about them.
During a conversation I sometimes feel like my body wants to just get rid of it as quickly as possible and escape, the lights , loud noises and the blurry vision / off balance / as well as getting irritated upset very easily
Zaps and chest pain...day after day after day.......trying to communicate with and calm the inner child, but he's seemingly not listening. Just a trip to the $ store to pick up a few items is a challenge. I hate it. I'm aging faster than I should be.
The electrical socket/legs buzzing and feeling hot and tight randomly is my main thing
Same me, did you find help?
The analogy of someone sitting in a "meditative parasympathetic state" amid chaos really spoke to me. This is all so internal.....its learning how to take that energy and make Peace with it. It's definitely a journey, one I'm grateful to be on and again thanking the Universe for you Dennis and your wisdom. 🌿🙏
Blessings to you.
Denis, thank you for this tutorial. This is exactly how I live: Chronic Stress. I wake up feeling anxious and the sensation never goes away, even if I'm not doing anything that day or moment. I will watch this over and over again. You're a Gift from God!
Enjoy, and hopefully it contributes to the anxiety healing my friend.
This is really relevant to me at this time. I’ve let the main sources of my stress go the past six months yet I still feel jacked up. I appreciate this perspective. Makes total sense.
I get hyperstimulation from texting or talking on the phone, going to store, taking a shower, etc. Basically from everything
Yes, yes this was me as well.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 how in the world did you get past it?
Your not alone my friend, it's hell sometimes and overwhelming it's not pleasant and can't stop it,
Been watching my own symptoms change and things do impact daily life but positive vibes and try to not focus too much on them!
@@simonweatherall4434 we can overcome!
Omg the bathroom thing is a nightmare. Getting so so hyperstimulated just by taking a bath.
wow I feel so happy you brought up the muscle twitching. I've had this and parasthesia in my face for 4.5 years. I am so happy you brought up hyperstimulation. I think i'm figuring out a lot of things now on the healing path but my body just hasn't caught up...
Yes, chronic stress is the last place we tend to look after exhausting all other physical potentials. Keep going warrior.
I would also suggest people with ongoing anxiety with no real external.cause look into BVD. Binocular Vision Dysfunction. It is essentially your eyes misaligned horizontally or vertically. It causes so much stress on your brain and ocular nerves resulting in your subconscious mind sending alert signals. Vertigo, migraines, anxiety, burn out, overstimulated in shops/crowds, social anxiety are all symptoms of BVD plus so many more. A Neuro optician can diagnose and prescribe prism glasses. Resources and an online questionnaire can be found on UA-cam channels talking about this. Best wishes and I hope this helps someone - it has helped me immensely.
Grateful for the advice.
I have such a hard time resting. I really don't know to do it.
Hit so many excellent points, all of which hit home. "I'm better now, so I can go back to doing the things that got me here in the first place." YES. 🤦♂️😱😤😤
Curious, what has been the biggest reason for the healing?
I realized I just never felt relaxed even though I was just sitting down hanging out. Super internalized fear. I'm really worried about my health and future so I want to learn about what's going on and really work on being aware of my reactions to every thing ... as it's really in a heightened state right now.
I appreciate all the ideas in the video.👓
I had a GREAT day today. I was fine! Ran errands, had lunch with hubby, we laughed, we watched movies and I cooked dinner for the kids. Amazing day!! Than while watching a movie, BAM! A sharp pain on my left temple. I’m like, wait, what was that? I don’t have a headache so I immediately started massaging my temple and than the over thinking began but I’m keeping myself calm, took a nap so I won’t feel it again but woke up from a nap feeling it on both temples now. Again. I’m not jumping up and down, I’m still calm but like what’s going on!? I got up and felt dizzy and my both feels tingly, my toes and fingers. Usually this would put me in panic mode but I’m controlling that part. Currently laying in bed trying to get this to pass. 😢 I hate that I go thru this.
I like how you talk about doing mini vacations throughout the day, I usually do 3, 5 minute ones each day. I also follow your program every single morning and its keeping me committed, I see a lot of progress. Thank you for all your videos
Keep up the program progress, this structure us key for true anxiety recovery.
This entire video is exactly ME! Yo ur comment which really resonated with me ws that I am the reason my anxiety keeps increasing. My ego mind is in control. I am definitely Hyperstimulated and have been for the majority of my life. I have always been stressed out, worried, etc. I just thought that was how everyone was. I am the only one who can stop this cycle. I will give it my best and I will succeed! Thank you Dennis for all you do.
May God bless and strengthen you… you are healing…..many of us
Kind words, forward together much love.
Milos reconnecting with nature behind you. I love animals! 🐕
Haha you’re the first to comment on this from what I can see 😅
Yes, Dennis, we KNOW what you're talking about. You 100% described the horror of anxiety.
Thank you for helping us ❤
Your dog is so beautiful. He's reconnecting with the nature as we watching you 😊
Happy to help!
I must say that my confusion remains regarding hyperstimulation and exercise. I’ve been reading from multiple sources that we should train vigorously when under hyperstimulation to help burn excess adrenaline off. I’ve been running and although my stamina has shot up I am still sensitized. I feel like I’m “plugged in” as you say. One thing I haven’t tried though is resting! 😂 So I guess that’s next on the list…or at least going a lot lighter. Regarding the EMFs, I’ve recently thought about that as I wear a smart watch daily but if I’m still being triggered by intrusive thoughts I guess I should look at those first before I blame the watch 😂 Thanks Dennis great video.
Wow!!! I’m working progress and learning new things everyday to help me cope….it’s a lot but it’s helping!
Thank you, so true. Lifestyle forever change. That was hard for me to get to grips with.
I have all the above! Endless cycle
Hoping the video shed some light.
Thanks for all the content Dennis. You have helped me process, rationalize and move through what I’m going through. I searched long and hard to find a community or voice that felt I could associate my journey with before stumbling upon your channel. Please keep it up and let me know how best to support you.
Your engagement here on this UA-cam channel is enough, keep up the progress.
I felt like a normal person before 2020. Never once knew what a panic attack was until i got one myself and now everything has changed about me. Started developing numbness, chest pains, head pressures, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, legs feeling heavy, shakiness and tremors. List goes on... its exhausting as hell..
Same here 😢
Same but start 6 months ago.
Same here smh it’s crazy seeing so many people going through the same thing but you don’t know what people are going through in reality in normal going life because we hide everything but we are more open on social media
@@SacredVisions- yea it's so sad though because in real life I would never tell a soul about what I'm going through and honestly I sometimes wish that I had people who I could talk to in real life but also I'm really grateful that I can at least share my personal experiences with anxiety online too with like-minded people 🙏
@@Caringsoul245 well I just want you to know everything you said in your comment is exactly what I was just saying the other day my panic attacks started in December around Christmas I never knew this feeling or the symptoms that come with it. I heard people talk about it in my past life but never paid any attention because it wasn’t happening to me now I know how they felt and how scared they were smh your not alone
Thanking you from my heart.. your videos are essential for maintenance and healing!
I've said it a thousand times
Dennis simsek saved my life!!
Peace be with you Dennis ❤️
❤Dennis I’ve been watching you for the last year and this video has spoken to me in so many ways and I appreciate you so much for your help to us all as this is a journey and you are showing me the way !
Thank you so very much ❤
Very welcome and thank you for the interaction with us all :)
Omg....what you just spoke about is totally me! I have had anxiety, my whole life. I have been anxious about everything I have ever . I just thought that everyone was like that! My ego centered mind has always taken the lead. I have always listened to it. It never occurred to me that I didn't have to listen to it. I have a masters degree and have worked professionally for over 30 years. I went to work every day with lots of anxiety. I always tried to hide it from my coworkers. A light bulb moment for me. Thank you Dennis so much.
I experienced this and will analyze why I'm feeling the way I do. It's like I go from peace to symptoms out of nowhere then I worry and then the conscious anxiety kick in and so the vicious cycle. This is a default mode.
It was beginning to occur to me that my nervous system might be hyperstimulated after years of stress (bereavement, accident, illness), yet in a calm period now. And up pops your video to confirm😊
Great video.
Need some clarity on reflect on your habits that may cause this? Also I'm feeling like the back of my neck is heavy and I get a floating feeling and this causes me to fear that my balance is off, although I've never fallen.
Alert alert alert - hyperreactive - searching out worries.
Hi Dennis I would say listening to your podcasts over the past couple of years my anxiety was truly on the mend but lately things have started to goings wrong in normal life and hay ho I feel my anxiety creeping back 😢. So I've started listening to your podcasts again and I'm not sure what happens but listening to your voice really calms me. Hopefully I'll be back to feeling calm again very soon. Thank you so much ❤
So very welcome and thank you for the update.
Hey Dennis, your videos helped me a lot, I realised I wasn't making a big progress with EMDR so I am starting CBT next week. Thanks for the support.
Sending love and light on your CBT focused healing process.
Love this‼️
Glad to hear it.
Does anyone have so much anxiety physical symptoms say like before when i had dentist this morning that after the event you literally can't move once you get home for every muscle is hurting and headache and tired legs really ache as if I've just run a marathon and just want to go to sleep, very larthargic .
I’ve always had anxiety, even when I didn’t know what it was. I’ve gone up and down with my anxiety for years. At times, it is unbearable. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed health anxiety. I was recently diagnosed with mild glaucoma and even though I didn’t think it would create anxiety, I have been hyper sensitive since. I feel like this video is really going to help me. I stumbled upon your site last week and I can’t believe how much it has relaxed and comforted me at times. I’m going to keep watching. I have a lot to learn.
I really appreciate how I can choose to watch any of your videos at random and each one has helped me in a time of need! It’s as if the universe is choosing the episodes I need at the time I need them in order without me realizing it until now. I am forever grateful for your healing guidance and sacrifice’s Dennis!
Blessings thank you for your kind words
You are absolutely brilliant. I have never met you and I feel I owe you my life. It took me a year and a half, but finally…FINALLY, I am feeling free from anxiety. That was a hellish ride. Everything you say in this video is absolutely true. From mild exercise to loud noises… you really nail anxiety symptoms and information in every video.
Theee most helpful utube channel I have come across ever. Words cannot express my gratitude. 💜💜💜
Hi
What did you do to finally get through it?
@@studioofstyles6585 hi there! First of all, you’re on the right track by tuning into this channel. It helped me a lot. Also, Time and as much self care as you can manage. It really took me by surprise when I woke up one morning and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I was having the worst headaches and could not figure out what was going on with my mind. I couldn’t function. My therapist insisted I take time off work. Being self employed, that was impossible. So I really had to figure out how I was going to manage this. Try and stay present and do lots of deep breathing to regulate your nervous system. One day it will be gone. Relax as much as you can.. don’t be surprised if you come across physical challenges once your anxiety subsides. I’m dealing with back issues as a result of muscle tension from cortisol levels being so high. Keep taking care of yourself. Hope this helps you.
Be very gentle with yourself.
@@mjoachim9554 thank you so much
I really appreciate you taking the time out to respond to me.
Thank you
My heart goes out to you. It’s not easy. Fear is the worst place to plant our thoughts. Giving too much attention to what’s not working in our lives is destructive.
Dennis, you can't imagine which importance your words have for my healing process. I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you my friend 🤗
Very welcome.
Am having hope today while having anxiety and hyperstimulation for the past week. Am calm only by listening
Thanks for another video and message Dennis!
Right. That "Doership" Mindset is something that has plagued many.
I have suffered from this greatly, but thankfully I am not that way anymore, I most times catch that voice and think something different.
Everyday is a chance and opportunity to move further away from that old mindset.
Thanks again!
This is an amazing wealth of information, it's amazing how he is describing exactly what I have been experiencing for so long. I have been in clinical therapy in the past but this is gold.
Dennis i just wanna say how i personally appreciate you and like you also i see as a funny person tree hugger that got me
Sending love from Ottawa 😊
Much love.
😅 I agree his humor is funny too
This is so me. After tapering off several prescribed meds, almost two years ago, and experiencing terrible withdrawals, my body has never completely healed. I'm still hypersensitive and have health anxiety. Thanks for all your help! I've only been listening for a week and am starting to improve. I've ordered one of your books and may eventually do one of your programs. What a blessing you are.
It’s been so impossible to explain to friends/family and my doctor what I’ve been experiencing. I can share this video with them because it perfectly describes what I feel daily. I have nothing to blame my anxiety on, but it is still there. Hopefully now they can make better sense of what I’ve been saying for so long. Thank you for the video!
What a remarkable insight! So many of your identifying symptoms are spot-on. If understanding precedes healing I am on my way. Many many many thanks
This is inspirational to hear.
This is excellent advice. Thank you Dennis ❤️
Thanks for making this video! I listened three times. It very much applies to me. I just wish I knew this stuff many years ago, but happy to be learning it now, nonetheless. I drove myself crazy with the buzzing, convinced that there was a serious problem. It’s still present, but I don’t care much these days. Really helpful, thanks Dennis.
I'm must remember to keep up the good practices even when I feel better. Instead of letting it slide because I feel ok. Thank you Dennis❤️
Very welcome, thanks for the recap.
This video has been super helpful ❤ Thank You for Sharing ❤
You’re very welcome I’m glad it spoke to you.
Hi Dennis Ive been going thru it for years already.. starting 2021 it go worse thats when all my physical symptoms started to appear, I had every single symptom I felt like I was going crazy, I visited numerous doctors had lots of test done and every single time all of them came perfect! Nothing was wrong it was my anxiety. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 months already and they have been helping tremendously thank u.One thing I’ve noticed is that when I over exercise, my anxiety and pains get worse after im done, I dnt sleep because im thinking that I’m going to be sore and that everything’s going to hurt for following days. I definately can over do it anymore like I used to years ago and it makes me really sad. The more I think about thing that worse things get, talking to myself and telling myself everything will be fine helps a lot and meditation. Thank you Dennis 7:46
Sorry 😔 how are feeling now
Do you have heart palpitations also 😢
Thank you! I identified with all those symptoms and I’ve actually felt like I was overstimulated. Very validating video. Thank you!
Very welcome
I am so happy I found you.
HAVE A GREAT DAY DENNIS!!! THANKS AS ALWAYS!
Thank you I am glad I watched this video i’ve been free from anxiety for seven days up till today. For some reason I started to feel overwhelmed any advice from me greatly appreciated 😊
Let this channel be your guide then, keep up the progress.
Block your time. Make it non-negotiable for yourself to actually show up.Even if it's just for one hour a day, you're getting yourself to go and do something. You start to build an emotional muscle of following through on what you said that you would, and that starts to build self-esteem.
After having two girls wheras one has severe epilepsy (brain surgery, VNS-surgery) special diet, autism and other special needs, getting divorced from their narc-dad who is and was not very interested in Them. Mom 24/7 - 8 years in, Im here for a good reason I think.
Almost cried happy tears hearing you talk about muscle-twitching, it has been freaking me OUT! Its been in my legs, especially when sitting to relax and trying to sleep, making me do stuff ALL the Time because of severe anx!was almost Going crazy at 2 pm. Last night. Tried some deep breaths (as you talked about in an other video) and helped me not reach the oxabenz! I have also had some vibrating sensation in my body om and off for the last 6 months. Now I know What its all about. Thank you!
Dennis, I got to a place where I have broken a lot of negative patterns and I feel the progress each day. Thanks for your guidance. The part where you talk about doership speaks to me because now I know how the ego mind works. Any suggestions for someone who is in his 20s and has suffered from anxiety for a long time in the past?
Yes, choose to no longer be led by the ego minds directives, deep relaxation, and use my reframing video to clear any feelings that are still present from the past.
This video is great, thank you. Needed this today
I am so grateful for stumbling upon your channel, you have brought me so much peace of mind and have taught me new tricks to calm my mind and accept the symptoms for what they are. I can't thank you enough for your channel and your calm demeanor. Here is my anxiety story!
I've always had general anxiety all my life, you know like being shy and nervous to talk to new people, talk in front of a group of people, sudden life changes, etc...nothing like debilitating though. I've never been concerned about my health as I'm a generally healthy person and I rarely ever go to the doctor, unless I'm like, dying. After I got sick with covid 2 years ago right at Christmas, my anxiety absolutely skyrocketed for no reason. No I wasn't scared of the virus, it wasn't any different for me than a bad cold/sore throat. I honestly 100% think covid affects your brain chemistry. One day after being sick for a week and a half but starting to recover, I just woke up with this impending doom, something is wrong feeling, for NO REASON. It scared me to death and I couldn't get away from it or control it. I had multiple panic attacks thinking I was dying or something. NEVER EVER had those thoughts or feelings before. I dealt with this feeling for months on and off, during that summer it gave me heart palpitations and PVC's for 3 days straight out of nowhere. You want to talk about fear...I thought I had a heart condition because even though I have had them before periodically, I've never had them happen consecutively ever like that. I got checked out by the cardiologist, they put a 24 hr heart monitor on me and captured many heart palpitations and told me they look perfectly normal and not to worry. EKG came back perfect, bloodwork came back perfect, blood pressure is perfect...no reason for me to be having these symptoms other than anxiety, and being overweight. So whenever I would have even just one PVC, I would immediately go into panic attack. They slowed down a lot over the last year but I still periodically get a couple, sometimes its just one, sometimes its a few in a row. They still scare me because they're so uncomfortable feeling.
My symptoms have recently been changing the last couple months. I now get more muscle twitches all over my body, including my face, mouth and tongue when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I also sometimes get tingling down my arms to my fingers. I get that whole body buzzing feeling too. But none of these symptoms are constant, its just sometimes. I even had 3 days of thinking my tongue was swollen and it felt alien to my mouth, it was the weirdest thing, its fine now. So I started thinking brain cancer, MS or ALS of course because its always the worst case scenario. Now, I have had mild scoliosis all my life, so muscle twitching is not uncommon for me at all. But I hyper focus on every little symptom now, thinking its a new thing. I'm now a hypochondriac.
I finally started taking 50mg of Zoloft and it has helped me so much only taking it for 3 weeks now. I've always hated taking pills for anything unless I have to, so I never tried anything like that ever before. I feel so much calmer and if I do get a symptom, my anxiety doesn't jump to a 10, its more of a 5 or 6 if that. I'm working on telling myself that its just anxiety, I am perfectly healthy and its just my mind playing tricks on me and I have the choice to just let go of the fear and experience the symptom and try to ignore it. I'm slowly getting better and dealing with it in a better way.
If anyone else has experienced symptoms like these, comment below and tell me your story!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m going through the same kind of symptoms. Buzzing all over the body, pins and needles, weak burning muscles, and it’s really driving me into a hole. You mentioned taking Zoloft. Did this help all the sensations like the buzzing go away? My dr prescribed it to me but I keep putting a hold on it, but I think I may have no choice at this point to feel better. How long were you on it for and if you stopped were the feelings completely gone once you stopped!
Thanks for all your help!!
i needed to see this, thank you so much! shortness of breath sporadically and slurred speech being the worst for me
Hope your better now
You are helping me understand what anxiety is and what to do. So complex. So much to figure out! So much to work on. So many layers to peel back. I don't think I'll ever peel all the onion. That is a feeling that it's too much and why bother I'll never get to the core. The journey doesn't end. It feels like a struggle that won't ever end. There is always something that won't be right. Yea it's me....
In truth, it’s not so complicated. Bring safety back into your life in the present and from past experiences (through reframing) and the brain will rewire itself.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1even if we have asperger's
This is what I sm going through right now while doing the inner circle week 4 program . Wow !!!! Again Dennis, wow….. thank you 🙏🏻
Keep up the program progress :)
I’m 20 years old and I feel like I’ve done nothing but suffer for years, I just wish I was better and all of this would go away feeling this way is exhausting it makes me feel like such an outcast and like everyone I know could ever understand, I barely understand myself just want all of it to go away and feel at peace n calm
This vid is so me. I dont feel as though I deserve to be okay. Seems as though without thinking it, that any good for me is going to involve suffering as well. I didnt realize til last year that i was abused as a child. It was all mental but nonetheless. Today I suffer from medical anxiety and ocd. Have done so for years but never knew the label for it. My counselor is trying to help me get to the root of it all from my early childhood. Praying for peace one day. My palpitations recurr from time to time but have been having them a bit more as of late. I wake in the morning waiting on them. Just to break this vicious cycle. Luckily I go to my primary care in a couple weeks. Hopefully she can help me with the palpitations so i can relax and focus on my mental healing. Thanks for all you do brother 👊🏻
Grazie.
Excellent vidéo Dennis. As usual it felt like you were speaking directly to me and my situation so highly beneficial. Thankyou, to all the others struggling have a beautiful and productive day, and yes Dennis we love you to from the bottom of Our collective hearts ❤️. 🧘🏼❤️🧠
I needed to hear this today. I have had 2 sessions with a therapist . He is amazing and has givem me. great advice. I feel so good after a session and have such hooe that these good feelings will continue. Just the opposite is true so far. After both sessions I woke up with panic attack. I don't know why. Then I get so discouraged and down on myself. I try to realize that healing is a journey and will take time, but how much time? I have been following you for a long time and I need some tips on How to not get so discouraged.
Is this normal f
or most people😢?
Don’t focus on the result, no finish line, focus on putting your heart into your change work.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Great advice. Thank you. I need to work on this for sure. I truly appreciate all you do. Your videos have helped me so much.
This is so true i just had a dream and this is just what is happening to me now i understand what is really going on in me .
I experience so many things in life than when i go to sleep time and time after i dream about it and would take it for reality
Your videos helped me a lot years ago to overcome and understand anxiety. Now I found this video to help me again. Thank you for doing this.
I’ve past traumas that really affected my adolescence and now I see my self not having any of those things that triggered me but I still have that in my mind and overthink and just het stress and anxious every single day
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his song
Thank you Dennis, this was a very helpful video that relates to me. I had a traumatic experience a couple of years ago. Things that would happen before this trauma like feeling my heart beat are more noticeable now because of this hyper stimulated state that I’m in.
A hard heart beat used to be present 24/7 with me also yes I understand.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1Makes me better to know that I’m not alone :)
This specific symptom of the pounding heart often makes me wonder if something is physically wrong with me.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1how long roughly did the 24/7 hard heartbeat last for you and was there anything you did to treat it? Thanks
Hello. You are absolutely correct and on it. Thank you for bringing it to the visual arena of this.
May I ask. Are you still experiencing symptoms now and then or has it gone away?
My anxiety symptoms are no longer with me, applying the structure from my programs has sent them away :)
This is a great video! Thank you for being so clear on the signs and what to do to support ourselves. Definitely taking notes - notebook and pen is necessary for sure! 🙏🏻
Thank you for such a whole hearted commitment.
This is like 80% of my anxiety
For me I did not realise my ego mind was kicking in when I got to a point of feeling stuck when doing exposure work. I'd be fine and doing really well, huge progress then nothing so would feel like maybe I dont deserve to get better and I should just accept this is how my life is going to be, and i would punish myself with all this negativity because as you say it's like you don't deserve it unless you suffer. Now looking at this journey so far, I have punished myself alot and it didnt make any difference to the time spent stuck, i didnt magically become unstuck i just felt terrible about the situation and beat myself up day and night until i just stopped. That's when i became unstuck again and continued my progress. 😃👍🏻 thank you Dennis for sharing and making so much sense ❤
This is all exactly me. I can relate so much! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dennis. You are helping me a great deal. Katrina
Dennis is great, I wish more ppl understood how spot on some of these videos are.
I feel electrical currents through my body at certain times-I tried to explain it to a cardiologist and they just ignored me. I also am wondering about the EMF issue-but, I definitely am the person who has gotten into the habit of over intellectualizing any issue my body may feel or happen-figuring that I need to figure it out. Because I KNOW the doctors won't be able to. LOL but that's true too. It's exhausting. I am doing much better now that I am aware of what habits are perpetuating my anxiety-I also have given up negative thinking and self talk or talking about something that bothers me in my head all the time. Thank you for everything Dennis- I listen to your recordings a lot. Most of this began after I had a series of unfortunate events-whiplash/assault/and health issues all in a row.
7 minutes in and this video is already a game changer. Thank you Dennis.
Not giving up my workouts ❤
Right!! Exercise saved my life and makes me feel good.
All of the physical symptoms were me
Same
Just followed every word you said and realised that I have been experiencing it all the time without realising the damage being done to my mind and finally I ended up with chronic anxiety and depression, so soothing to hear your thoughts on the recovery process Iam nearing the end of the tunnel and hope to see the light. Hyper stimulation is absolutely real and my journey so far has been challenging, Iam not giving up on my healing and hope to set myself free from the ego’s and negative stimulants, life is all from inside out and thankyou for the reassurance. God bless
Very welcome, and nice to hear your replies.
I started chewing my tongue this year. No idea why or initially that I am actually doing so. I don’t feel well but the gp’s in Great Britain just shove me out the door as they tell me I am fine. I’m not convinced by their neglect of MY statement. 😢
Many of us here can relate I’m sure.
My life has been super stressfull I can relate what you say signals getting worse and worse never have inner peace in my life ❤
Only signals increasing over the day now really not normal anymore breath breath but... It hurts so bad ❤
You will get there I’m sure, with knowledge and application consistently change is right over the horizon.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1thank you after listening to your video reframing I know i can 😊
I heard my boss telling someone how competitive the hiring process was and that i performed the best hence i have the job now, who am i? Well im someone who never sees any goodness in me , my abilities, i always tell myself i cant. And hearing that just did something for me and ive now decided to not be a slave to the negativity which has sat over my potential and my awesomeness, hence im here to get ideas on how to get out and be free
I’ve had this hyper stimulation problem for many years and the culprit is excessive exercise, stressful events and sometimes caffeine ! It’s a merry go round that sometimes ends up with me up in middle of night and next day ruined because of sleep deprivation!
Sending you tunes of gratitude! I have been going through most of the things you spoke of but not until I decided to heal. Thank you for the wisdom
So very welcome keep up the progress.
