A Buddhist Monk once said.... When he teaches people how to be stronger, he first has to knock them down and destroy them. Once they pick themselves up and rebuild themselves so to speak, they are much stronger and wiser. And then he knocks them down again... and so on and so forth.. Every obstacle these people face, just makes them stronger. So if anything is getting anybody down, just remember, this is your training in life, and it is helping you become a much stronger and wiser person. You can only truly become a stronger person, after you have been knocked down.. And yes... everything does happen for a reason !....
Hi Cherelle, I found your videos by chance in the middle of a serious health anxiety episode. I suffer for many years with this devastating condition and I was convinced for the past 1-2 months that I had ALS due to random twitching and twitching hotspot in my leg that was all day long every day and night. I was acting like I had few weeks to live and withdrew from work, friends, family. Extremely bad. I recently started CBT (have done systemic therapy for more than 7 years but it has not helped at all my health anxiety because we never focused on the health anxiety itself). Anyway, the moment I saw your videos about twitching, you helped me so much that I stopped worrying about my twitches and they immediately stopped happening. This is crazy. I had them for 2 months daily and after I watched your videos, they were gone. Now I am jumping into other symptoms unfortunately, but you really really helped me go through this devastating period of being absolutely convinced I have ALS. Now, as a health anxiety sufferer, I am worried that the reason your videos helped me, is because I related myself to you. And this is a pattern that I have for sicknesses as well, when someone has a disease, I am terrified I will get the same, same here, you had the same worry for twitching and it was just anxiety, so I related myself to this and I stopped worrying too. I hope I will be able to learn how to ease myself in the future. But your videos have been extremely helpful, I believe it is important for someone to talk to others who have the same condition, because sometimes I do not even believe my own therapist because she does not have health anxiety and why would I trust that its all in my head? Talking in a community who have the same worries is extremely helpful. Your videos really created a light in my endless health anxiety dark tunnel. Thank you so so much, it was a blessing that youtube showed me your videos randomly. I will keep watching and hear from your stories to try and heal and manage my life better... take care you are extremely helpful, you cannot imagine
I’m so sorry that you’re going through a divorce. But you can do it Cherelle. You have helped to heal me with your videos. And now I got your back and I’m praying for you
Your videos helped me out during a dark period of my life and I will always be super grateful for that. You seem like a truly wonderful person and will overcome whatever you're going through now.
Ma'am, your channel is indeed a guiding light! I was overwhelmed with health anxiety but I really found relief after watching your videos. 😊 I got separated from my teacher a few months back. We developed fervent attachment and bonding with each other but it is often difficult to predict what's gonna happen . The worst thing was that he was desirous to talk to me, to support me but the so- called "society" was against it all. I start weeping whenever I see his innocent face in my gaze . Due to this, I was extremely stressed. There were days of constant crying, frustration and memories of the good times. As a consequence of all this, I started having vision problems and trembling & twitching in some parts of the body . It happens when the nervous system gets stimulated to a certain point and it's all normal. I realised after doing a plethora of research under the influence of health anxiety. Earlier , I thought these symptoms at the age of 16 indicate a chronic health condition. Now, I perceive that health is the rudimental aspect of an individual's life so I won't be taking tension from now on. 😊🌸 Once again, thank you ma'am!
Hey Cherelle, I hope you are well. I've been struggling with health anxiety for the last 4 months after an extremely stressful time in my life. I started getting twitching all over my body about 7 weeks ago along with perceived muscle weakness, neck pain, throat lump, and speech issues. The muscle twitching is constant but the rest of my symptoms come and go. It's stressing me out but I'm confident that it's just my health anxiety getting the better of me. Your videos have been a massive help. Thank you and keep up the good work.
That’s all it is is just anxiety. It’s crazy how anxiety can cause symptoms and make you feel like you actually have a health related problem. I used to be dizzy all the time,lightheaded,nauseous, trouble breathing and trouble sleeping all the above. But go to the doctor just to make sure nothing‘s wrong. From my experience, it’s mainly anxiety. you can do it. You can overcome to something anxiety if I can overcome it. Not saying that I’m perfect and I probably never will be, but I learn how to live with it and not freak out every time I get a certain sensation. Remember, your body is loud and makes all kinds of weird noises feelings sensations. And then your fight or flight response kicks in and think it needs to protect you and that’s why you get those feelings. Instead of running from it, learn how to embrace it and learn how to love it and learn how not to be scared of it. and keep watching Cherrelle videos and also Mel Robbin’s and Dr. Robert Kennedy that video changed my life and of course Cherelle‘s videos helps a lot. I watch them even though I’m not having anxiety just so I keep learning what I need to do. So I don’t have these symptoms anymore. Us health anxiety sufferers need to stick together.
Hi Andrew! Thanks for your comment. I’m so glad my videos have helped you. It’s so scary when this all happens for the first time, isn’t it? You’ll get through this though! 💪🏽🩷
I have now twiches about 2 weeks, specially at night it is not easy to sleep.I get this after I spoke my toxic parents , I haven't seem them 8 years.I'm 43 now.Thank you for this helpful video.Divorce is somtimes better also for children.I wish you all the best .
@@Bronka-xz2dj I’m so sorry that you’re having twitching. I’ve also had this problem. And I understand how frustrating it can be. But just remember that you are strong and going to overcome this problem. And try not to fear what the twitching and try to sit with it. So you can train your fight or flight response that it is not life threatening. And after you do that just know that you will never fix health anxiety by thinking about more anxiety issues. And tell your mind that twitching is not a threat and that I’m not scared of you. Then after you confront it. Don’t give it anymore of your time. It will be hard but once you do it. You will overcome anything anxiety related. There will be ups and downs. But you’ll start to have more ups. I believe in all of anxiety warriors that we can do more than non anxiety sufferers. Because we train ourselves to become stronger. You can do it!!!!
I can't explain how much these videos help me. Started twitching out of the blue 5 months ago. My legs, mostly the arch of my left foot and outside of my calves 24/7. No perceived weakness but I've found every odd dent and asymmetrical groove on my body. I'm sorry for what your going through and wish you all the best. Thank you Cherelle.
Me too for all of the above especially the calves and arch of left foot. Mines gone thanks to A. Never googling EVER B. Realising I’m an idiot C. Remembering that I’ve been under massive stress before the twitching D. Working out E. Strong morning routine incl breath work (Gary brecka), sunlight on upper half of body, grounding 5 mins and cold shower F. Smiling and trying my best to have fun G. Getting off social media lol and removing all health anxiety content. I’m only here to support you!! Otherwise I’d be blocking the channel haha :) Take care you’ll get there, just keep focusing on your mental state and the rest will drop! You’ll thank yourself a million times over for it
I’m the exact same way!! Twitching started in arch of left foot, then all over the body, now it’s mostly back to just the left arch. Kinda freaky but the symptoms do come and go, we just have to remind ourselves that anxiety is capable of copying any symptom we might be afraid of!
Your videos are a real game changer for health anxiety ❤️ thank you 🙏 I found out that my twitching was related to my underactive thyroid. My advice to everyone is to get your thyroid checked! My hypothyroidism was caused by a long duration of anxiety. Alongside twitching there are tonnes of weird symptoms so i can't stress enough to get it checked.
I am only one minute into this video, but saw your comment. I just recently had alot of blood work done 💉 and my thyroid levels are way off - more - HYPERTHYROIDISM vs. HYPO - but my gosh it explains so much! I came down with COVID in late August and it was far worse than when I had it two years prior. I simply could not feel like myself again - most concerning were my arms & legs shaking (tremors) + my ears ringing. After much reading and learning of the connection between COVID and thyroid issues (after getting my blood test results); it then began to make so much sense!
If it helps anyome, I've been twitching for a year. The pattern I have personally noticed is that they sure can come on whilst I'm stressed, but they do even more so ONCE I RELAX. The way I can explain this is that I was probably very tense during a stressful event, and the twitching comes as my muscles start to relax. Once they fully do, the twitching is much better. So for me, when I start twitching, I tell myself: Im finally starting to relax. And I welcome it. :)
Such fantastic advice! You’re an absolutely spot on! I like to think of it like a little nudge from my nervous system to say… hey.. things have been tough lately huh? 🩷
I’m sorry about your marriage Cinnamon Girl. Everything will turn out for the better. Thank you for your videos. I’ve been feeling a lot of numbness and swallowing issues. It always happens when I’m really stressed. Your videos make me feel so much better.
Thank you so much for your honesty & candour, it means such a lot coming from you & truly helps to know that we all have glitches & forks in the road when our nervous systems are prone to dysregulation when we go through a lot. I'm having a delayed response now & it all makes sense...Hugs & gratitude to you 💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍
I was unwell from Aug 2020 until March 2022 and one of my main anxieties was twitching. I also had daily bone pain all over. I genuinely thought I had MS, Ewing’s Sarcoma, MND - the lot. I paid for therapy, went private to get an MRI scan and to see a neurologist, went to physio and went for massages every month. I was back and forth to the doctor and in a real mess, even signed off work for weeks at a time because I was sick with worry and convinced I was dying. It was only when I moved that I changed GP that I found out I had critically low levels of vitamin D. Anyway, long story short(!), you helped me a lot in those days and I’m glad that you’re getting better too ❤
Can you tell me how low your vitamin d was that made you have all these symptoms bc I’m in the same boat have been since Aug all test bloodwork have came back good but my vitamin d is pretty low??
Thank you for making this video. Im sorry you’re going though that. I’ve been under a lot of work stress recently and started having a lot of digestion problems and reflux out of nowhere. I have had cancer in the past so my health anxiety is through the roof at the minute. The problem solving I do is really bad, I have been googling everything convincing myself it’s the worse case scenario and now even on medication and having investigations with the doctor, I know it’s probably all because of stress but I’m getting checked by the doctors anyway as I need that reassurance 😢
I am going through the same symptoms at the minute . Really appreciate the videos , has helped me understand . i always felt i was a confident individual , however the twitching and numbness seems to suggest a subconscious anxiety . but 100 % always use to self google diagnosis . hope it’s gets better for you .
Just came across your channel. You are right about anxiety and the fever symptoms. I'd suggest maybe keeping an eye on your heart rate, blood pressure and blood glucose levels, just the standard home versions from Amazon. The muscle twitching, have you ever had the muscle vibrations? Due to anxiety the heart becomes ineffective as a pump, hence I suggest the heart rate and blood pressure readings.Things won't sort themselves if you are continuing to experience the anxiety/panic attacks. We develop coping mechanisms in our breathing, either short and shallow or deep and forceful depending on how we have been conditioned to handle stressful situations. Anxiety is very much physical, and Im glad you talk about this. Could I direct you towards further reading? I imagine it will help in your studies and research Cherelle.
This is a really helpful message for me to hear because twitching is one of my worst triggers and hearing you talk about how differently you feel about the situation now that you’ve conquered your HA, gives me so much confidence and hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is a way through.
Hey Cherelle. Stumbled upon your channel when I started getting a floater a couple of months ago (age 36). Your advice has really helped me get a grip on reality, have perspective, and calm down. I'm not sure what the future holds in my case, but I'm going to do everything I can to stay positive, and just improve my lifestyle in practical ways (diet, fitness, mindfulness, etc). So thank you for content. Didn't know you had an IG. I'll check it out. Sorry to hear you're going through a divorce, but you'll weather the storm. Cheers :)
Hey Cherelle, this year I’ve developed lots of physical symptoms despite having anxiety my whole life. I’ve feared it’s fibro, MS, etc. (still worried it’s fibro). I’ve experienced twitching too, but also small isolated aches and vision blurriness (which concerns me a great deal despite getting eyes checked). I also have a bulged disc in my neck and lower back so hopefully it’s just due to them and anxiety.
I too had a bulging disc in my neck which was pressing against my spinal cord, this really freaked me out and I started thinking all my symptoms were disc related. I went to see a spine surgeon, and his exact words were, Boy !... there is nothing wrong with you, just get on with your life !.. Unconvinced by that I went to see a neurologist, and he said all my symptoms could be put down to anxiety and to trust what the spine surgeon told me. I do get twitching and also blury eyes sometimes, but they said it was not MS or any of them things like that.
Very helpful video, like always! You helped me a lot, like you did with a lot of other people that have twitching or health anxiety in general! Also in a pleasure watching your video because you are handsome! Much love from Italy ❤
I recently noticed that my twitching originates from potassium deficiency. Usually happens after I take too many medications that my body leaks potassium out and starts having a variety of symptoms including burning muscles, numbness and twitching. Maybe try taking potassium and see if it gets better.
I wish you the very best! Divorce can be stressful but It's not the end of the world. Actually, my life got 100x better and I remarried such a loving, and kind person. Good luck...❤
Great video I was wondering if you had any tips to stop monetering a body part or a symptom. You know when you're mentally cheeking in to that body part to see if the sensation is there. You may for a split second find yourself off it just for your mind to go straight back and check to see if you still got that sensation and then guess what it comes back Any good tips to break that checking in ? xx
I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder after some major stressors in my life. Then MEcfs due to really high Epstein Barr levels. I have noticed stress is one of my biggest triggers. I am glad to hear your theory on stress and thr sort of "let down" in the cns where we shake and twitch
The problem with my health anxiety is that its always different symptoms, never the same ones, the only ones that come up on the reg are the dizzy spells and depersonilization type stuff. Currently going through an esophogus cancer "scare" and it will go to another random symptom that I have never had previously after. Any one else?🤣
I’ve had a twitch in my elbow too for the last two months in the exact same spot….makes me a little nervous…my brother had twitching for 20 years then one day he had it in one muscle and he started tripping and found out he had als….when he told me what he had I kinda freaked out and started getting twitching…that was 12 years ago…I went thru the muscle testing, checking out my tongue, and everything else to make sure I wasn’t getting weak…that went on for 5 or 6 years…then the twitching went away I guess after I finally figured didn’t care anymore…I’ve gone thru some stressful times in the last couple months and now I have that twitch in my elbow that won’t go away and I guess I’m remembering what happened to my brother
I’ve had health anxiety for about 10 years but this past few years I’ve had twitching above and around my right ear .. been to the doctor and he seems to think it’s due to my anxiety - it gets so bad it keeps me awake . It’s also feels like a rush around my ear .. hate it!!
Have twitching in my hands right now. And feel pain there everyday. Like precramps its very shitty. EMG was fine but iam worried. Doctor said its anxiety but i cant believe this.
I have had so many symptoms it started this year February it’s so hard this anxiety business My worst symptom left side bad migranes most days drives me crazy then strange sensations in the head Some days I feel weird disconnected thinking I am going crazy it scares me?
Cherelle you helped me through my health anxiety. I recently separated from my partner of 7 years. Do you ever have anxiety about comparing your relationships to others in your life? If so could you make a video on it?
A personal question if you don't mind talking about this!?...Was your HA the reason for your breakdown of marriage? Was your husband supportive when you were going through the worst of it, or did you feel a burden? Thanks 🙏 ps thanks for the reminder about the delayed symptoms....
Hi! I think my health anxiety absolutely strained my marriage yes and I would say that I didn’t feel fully supported through my health anxiety journey and we both held some resentment. We gave it a good go and even have marriage counselling but ultimately, our lives were going in different directions and we realised that we just weren’t each others person. It has been really sad but it truly is the best decision for our family. 🩷
Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and aslo highly engaging thumbnails as well?
I’ve had it 11 months on and off. Buzzing, crawling, twitching. 2 nerve conductions normal, 2 mri normal, 2 neurologist and a neuromuscular specialist say nothing is wrong. All I know is I buzz and crawl and twitch all day and can’t get it to stop. It’s horrific.
OMG.!! mine feel like its happening less and less. but still an every day thing. it used to be once every 10 seconds. and when i was still . like sitting or laying. even standing sometimes. @@reneekenworthy5610 . i had all anxiety symptoms before the twitching. now most of the symptoms are gone. i got back on my sertraline aka zoloft.
A Buddhist Monk once said....
When he teaches people how to be stronger, he first has to knock them down and destroy them.
Once they pick themselves up and rebuild themselves so to speak, they are much stronger and wiser.
And then he knocks them down again... and so on and so forth..
Every obstacle these people face, just makes them stronger.
So if anything is getting anybody down, just remember, this is your training in life, and it is helping you become a much stronger and wiser person.
You can only truly become a stronger person, after you have been knocked down..
And yes... everything does happen for a reason !....

Anxiety is very much physical, and Im glad you talk about this. Could I direct you towards further reading? I imagine it will help in your studies and research Cherelle.
This is a really helpful message for me to hear because twitching is one of my worst triggers and hearing you talk about how differently you feel about the situation now that you’ve conquered your HA, gives me so much confidence and hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is a way through.
Hey Cherelle. Stumbled upon your channel when I started getting a floater a couple of months ago (age 36). Your advice has really helped me get a grip on reality, have perspective, and calm down. I'm not sure what the future holds in my case, but I'm going to do everything I can to stay positive, and just improve my lifestyle in practical ways (diet, fitness, mindfulness, etc). So thank you for content. Didn't know you had an IG. I'll check it out. Sorry to hear you're going through a divorce, but you'll weather the storm. Cheers :)
Hey Cherelle, this year I’ve developed lots of physical symptoms despite having anxiety my whole life. I’ve feared it’s fibro, MS, etc. (still worried it’s fibro). I’ve experienced twitching too, but also small isolated aches and vision blurriness (which concerns me a great deal despite getting eyes checked). I also have a bulged disc in my neck and lower back so hopefully it’s just due to them and anxiety.
I too had a bulging disc in my neck which was pressing against my spinal cord, this really freaked me out and I started thinking all my symptoms were disc related.
I went to see a spine surgeon, and his exact words were, Boy !... there is nothing wrong with you, just get on with your life !..
Unconvinced by that I went to see a neurologist, and he said all my symptoms could be put down to anxiety and to trust what the spine surgeon told me.
I do get twitching and also blury eyes sometimes, but they said it was not MS or any of them things like that.
Very helpful video, like always! You helped me a lot, like you did with a lot of other people that have twitching or health anxiety in general!
Also in a pleasure watching your video because you are handsome!
Much love from Italy ❤
Thank you so much! 🩷
Beautiful....🙂🙂🙂
I recently noticed that my twitching originates from potassium deficiency. Usually happens after I take too many medications that my body leaks potassium out and starts having a variety of symptoms including burning muscles, numbness and twitching. Maybe try taking potassium and see if it gets better.
I wish you the very best! Divorce can be stressful but It's not the end of the world. Actually, my life got 100x better and I remarried such a loving, and kind person. Good luck...❤
This is so lovely to hear! Thank you. 🩷
Great video I was wondering if you had any tips to stop monetering a body part or a symptom. You know when you're mentally cheeking in to that body part to see if the sensation is there. You may for a split second find yourself off it just for your mind to go straight back and check to see if you still got that sensation and then guess what it comes back
Any good tips to break that checking in ? xx
I am hyper focusing now i needed this ❤️
I hope things get easier for you, you don’t know hoe comforting it is to hear you say that I’m gonna be fine
Thank you for your courage and honesty to help us. Wishing you all the best. As you said - Everything will sort itself out"

Thank you so much for sharing.
I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder after some major stressors in my life. Then MEcfs due to really high Epstein Barr levels. I have noticed stress is one of my biggest triggers. I am glad to hear your theory on stress and thr sort of "let down" in the cns where we shake and twitch
The problem with my health anxiety is that its always different symptoms, never the same ones, the only ones that come up on the reg are the dizzy spells and depersonilization type stuff.
Currently going through an esophogus cancer "scare" and it will go to another random symptom that I have never had previously after.
Any one else?🤣
Yeah I have brain fog, forgetting things, fatigue even neck pain and twitching
I just having tongue twitching. It really scares me. But because of your video. I not that worried anymore.
I’ve had a twitch in my elbow too for the last two months in the exact same spot….makes me a little nervous…my brother had twitching for 20 years then one day he had it in one muscle and he started tripping and found out he had als….when he told me what he had I kinda freaked out and started getting twitching…that was 12 years ago…I went thru the muscle testing, checking out my tongue, and everything else to make sure I wasn’t getting weak…that went on for 5 or 6 years…then the twitching went away I guess after I finally figured didn’t care anymore…I’ve gone thru some stressful times in the last couple months and now I have that twitch in my elbow that won’t go away and I guess I’m remembering what happened to my brother
I’ve had health anxiety for about 10 years but this past few years I’ve had twitching above and around my right ear .. been to the doctor and he seems to think it’s due to my anxiety - it gets so bad it keeps me awake . It’s also feels like a rush around my ear .. hate it!!
Sorry about the personal stuff going on. Part of life I guess. You've helped me a ton. Thank you so much and take care.
Thank you so much. Life can be messy! Wishing you all the best. 🩷
Every time my twitching comes back in my tongue I get freaked out. Even after years. I can handle it most other places.
Of course, it must be unsettling. I hope it goes away quickly though.
Have twitching in my hands right now. And feel pain there everyday. Like precramps its very shitty. EMG was fine but iam worried. Doctor said its anxiety but i cant believe this.
I have had so many symptoms it started this year February it’s so hard this anxiety business
My worst symptom left side bad migranes most days drives me crazy then strange sensations in the head
Some days I feel weird disconnected thinking I am going crazy it scares me?
Cherelle you helped me through my health anxiety. I recently separated from my partner of 7 years. Do you ever have anxiety about comparing your relationships to others in your life? If so could you make a video on it?
Hey cherelle your videos were super helpful in a dark time and i still go back to them allah hu akbar
We’ve Been here before… you got this.
Thank you so much 🩷
You are my princess ❤
We love you!! We all just need one big group hug
Yes we do!! 🩷🥹
Mine are less or more always with me.
A personal question if you don't mind talking about this!?...Was your HA the reason for your breakdown of marriage? Was your husband supportive when you were going through the worst of it, or did you feel a burden? Thanks 🙏 ps thanks for the reminder about the delayed symptoms....
Hi! I think my health anxiety absolutely strained my marriage yes and I would say that I didn’t feel fully supported through my health anxiety journey and we both held some resentment. We gave it a good go and even have marriage counselling but ultimately, our lives were going in different directions and we realised that we just weren’t each others person. It has been really sad but it truly is the best decision for our family. 🩷
@@cherellethinks Thank you for your honesty! Wishing you all the best in your next steps 💓

@@cherellethinks Me too 😊 I take you sometime 😘
I have now same problem they came back after 6 years😅
Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and aslo highly engaging thumbnails as well?
My twitching begin in November 2017 and i am worried . 24/7 twitching
6 years is a really long time if twitching is your only symptoms.
@@TheCrain and i feel a tremor
@@sabrinam.3576 Talk with your doctor but anything after a year w/out severe mobility issues is a really good sign. No wheel chair, your good imo. : )
@@TheCrain I second this comment! 🩷
Try ashwaganda
I been twitching since sept 5th 😫😫
I’ve had it 11 months on and off. Buzzing, crawling, twitching. 2 nerve conductions normal, 2 mri normal, 2 neurologist and a neuromuscular specialist say nothing is wrong. All I know is I buzz and crawl and twitch all day and can’t get it to stop. It’s horrific.
OMG.!! mine feel like its happening less and less. but still an every day thing. it used to be once every 10 seconds. and when i was still . like sitting or laying. even standing sometimes. @@reneekenworthy5610 . i had all anxiety symptoms before the twitching. now most of the symptoms are gone. i got back on my sertraline aka zoloft.
Wrapping you, and, your children in healing warmth & protection during this difficult time; as your family is changing ❤️🩹
Thank you so so much 🩷
