Good morning to u Dennis ! Or should I say God. It’s so weird how I came across your UA-cam channel I have been dealing with anxiety since 2003 and it’s crippling and it sucks and it’s debilitating and has stopped me from doing a lot of things or go places, I was sent from a friend of mine to go look for something else last night not relating to anxiety or panic disorder so I watched that video and then alll of a sudden ur tube video came across my screen n it just hit me right in the face! I have to say you are a very wise man everything you had said in your video is everything I’m going through and it makes so much sense. I have subscribed to your channel I will be watching you for you are an inspiration. I would love if you can reach out to me and help me. My email address is dolce076@aol.com I would TRULY APPRECIATE IT !!!! I’m on Instagram @spiritlove911. I hope to hear from u soon n hope u can help me on my journey to recovery !!! Thank you n Blessed Be.
Keep the faith guys. Not so long ago I was crippled by Anxiety. Today I am back to the old me and its all just a bad memory. The key is understanding what's happening and learning to give up the fighting and worrying, but above all losing your fear. Dennis's videos give you all the tools. The guy knows his subject for sure. Much love to you all.
frank leonard I most definitely agree!! What a difference gaining knowledge and understanding of anxiety makes!! I too was crippled by anxiety not too long ago and and am no longer.
i am only 17 and healthy anxiety has taken over my life. First I kept getting headaches and i thought i had a tumor and i would obsess over it and cry. These thoughts would control my moods and relationships with others. Now everyday i feel chest pain and i google my symptoms and think i have a heart or esphogas issues. I am only 17 and i just want to be a teenager and live my life and find happiness. I hope these videos help like others say because i could sure need some type of support right now.
I'm sorry it does suck do not Google ur symptoms it will make it worse. face it your not a doctor leave it to them they have the degree. Good luck keep ur head up there is light at the end of tunnel so I have been told.
Yeah hi! I'm also 17 and I've been having this health anxiety pretty much all my life, only recently it has gotten worse. It started with some eye symptoms (the doctors didnt find anything wrong with me) and the symptoms have escalated to tremors, chest pains, headaches, migraines with auras, feeling lightheaded, etc. It's a real struggle, but I want to believe that we'll get through it!
I always wake up anxious. I guess you could say I am always waiting for the next panic attack. I want my life back. I have my whole life ahead of me. I'm happy I found your video!
Try some exercise, it doesn’t have to be a heavy workout. Maybe jumping jacks or running in place or shadow boxing anything that gets your body moving 10 minutes or so That will release the adrenaline in your body.
Y’all can do it. I am 34 years old and had my first anxiety attack at 14. I have dealt with it my entire adult life. I stumbled upon the anxiety guy channel and it has changed my whole outlook on life. I used to freak out about every little sensation or pain , but watching these videos has helped me deal with it. I really thank you for changing my life !
Last year I suffered a panic attack on an Uber and since then my life was a nightmare. I went to therapy, I took medication, did meditation, yoga, aromatherapy and it took me almost 10 months to feel ok again. But sadly it came back as anticipatory anxiety and again my life feels like a nightmare. I found this video and the last tip you mention was like a painkiller to my suffering. I closed my eyes and changed the story of my previous worst moments of anxiety and it helped me a lot!!!! Thank you Deniss for helping us understand and handle our fears.
Gabriela Morales Valenzuela Excellent. Visualization and emotion can shift any memory that doesn’t serve us well and some do it better than others. Much love.
This video is so powerful for me, thank you Dennis. I just recently realized that when one sensation passed for me, a new one comes about. Example, for a while I always felt a foggy head, heart palpitations, sweating and fatigue. With time most of those have passed, but now I get head tension/ringing in ears and stomach discomfort. I paid no attention to head tension but the stomach discomfort is new to me. Last night it felt like my stomach was on fire and my mind was telling me “go to the hospital now!”, I laid in bed thinking “maybe this is some sort of gastric issue”. But now, I convinced myself that this is only a trick. Because moments ago I felt fine with slight stomach discomfort and conveniently everything intensified moment I got to bed. I fell asleep and as I’m writing this at the park, I feel good. Slight discomfort in my head but fine. It’s truly amazing how the mind works and how it tries so hard to pull you back
I have dealt with anxiety and depression for 20 years, and have tried everything, My heart feels like its going to stop, my head feels like its going to blow up, I have also threw up a couple of times, I was on xanan for many years and now I'm having seizures and Dr keep telling me there nothing the can do. HELP PLEASE!!
After going to therapy for years, having only one, one on one Skype session with you created more change than ever before. Can't recommend your one on ones enough. Stronger every day
Mia Augusto Simply because the unconscious mind doesn’t understand words, it understands Images and feelings, that’s what the unconscious mind understands. Remember, if the plan doesn’t work change the plan but never the goal. Looking forward to our next session Mia
I think I've had all the symptoms now - headaches, chest pain/tightness, nausea, dizziness, twitches, aches... and now lump in throat feeling! I feel like my mind is throwing all of these symptoms out there to test how I'll react. Def trying my best to overcome it all. Meditation, exercise, and clean eating are a must... but resolving your issues is even more important.
I am 25. I've had severe anxiety since I was 12 or so. You absolutely nailed the physiological aspect of anxiety and how someone suffering from it thinks. The only thing I've found that really works is resolving the bigger problems in your life slowly. That and honestly I sometimes just have to force myself to laugh at the fact that I'm being brought to my knees by thoughts. Thank you and good luck all!
These are by far the best anxiety videos I have found, you speak our language. Doctors often sound robotic and non sympathetic. You are a true leader for all of us. Please never stop helping us. I'm a 10-15year sufferer and I instantly felt better after 1 video. 🙏😁
Nausea, knot in my stomach, and derealization are the most debilitating for me, in that order. This also reflects the severity of my anxiety in the moment. Indigestion is a daily occurrence for me, which can turn to nausea if I'm anxious enough. Then I'll begin to notice knots or churning in the pit of my stomach as I go about my normal activities, eventually leading to a panic attack if I'm not careful with my thoughts. All of my panic attacks come with derealization, where I begin to lose my grip on what's real around me, making it so much harder to calm down because it feels so dangerous to be in that state. It took me learning that I had to sit with, feel, and accept the feelings of dread in my body before I found any real relief and soon stopped experiencing panic attacks and derealization to that degree. The difference is monumental from the days when I was having panic attacks every week or two and would wake up before sunrise needing to throw up for no reason and spend the day with constant dread in my stomach. I still have anxiety and indigestion that I now treat holistically, aside from the occasional antacid. I will say that I went on an SSRI for almost a year when I was having these episodes regularly, which didn't solve the issue for me but helped me feel in control enough to work through it myself. Now, I'm off all meds and can experience the same thoughts or sensations that used to devolve into panic and ease them out of my body using mindfulness and breathing exercises. I haven't dissociated in 2 years and I'm still working to improve every day so that I don't have those terrifying experiences in the future.
You explain it so well. Dennis i feel like my joy has left me when anxiety walked in. Your videos are helping me cling to life and get my joy back and re connect as im also so disconnected. On outside im bubbly on the inside i feel like broken glass .
Going through your inner circle program, three weeks five days in.... just found this video, I have suffered for 6 years with these three symptoms cycling over and over.....good to know I'm not going mad, and really good to know I'm not alone.....brilliant Dennis....thank you.
I wake up at night shaking uncontrollably and I hate the shortness of breath and the heart racing. I also feel adrenaline coming up from my stomach up gets the panic going.
It's the dizziness and disorientation that debilitates me , Dennis. Unconsciously, due to thoughts, it crept up again today and progressed into a mini panic attack. I say mini because thanks to you, I've learned to use my skills and calm myself before it gets out of hand. This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time... thank you. Even though it was difficult, I continued the work I was previously doing and plowed through until it passed.
E Lv dude i just went to the elvator ive been fearing for months because of crazy diziness last time i was there... It was crazyyyyy. Today after long time. I got out my car and said i cant wait to feeel like that again sooooooo much. I was jumpin for joy ..excited...thats all i can thinj about.... Got in the elevator and i got stood up :( panic never came or anxiety. I was smiling and nothibg came. Stupid fukkr stood me up.
You have done more for me in the last month than all the other people and things I've tried. I'm exercising again and life is getting better. You're a genius! God bless you!
I have never seen someone post more practical and amazing advice online for anxiety. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make these videos and trying to help others suffering with anxiety. You’re amazing ❤️
I just found you and I am so glad I did. I've been suffering from anxiety my entire life...50 years. Journaling every day is my #1 goal for 2020. Thank you for motivating me. You seem like a great guy. Happy New Year.
Wow!!!! You are amazing! I have heart anxiety last 11 years snd thought I couldn’t stop it and wasted so much time. I’m binge watching your videos and my brain is like yes~ but when I’m in the storm all knowledge goes out the window 💖
Hey Colleen if you're still struggling, you could give the "vacate fear" channel a chance! (Just search it on youtube). He talks about just that and he does live streams several times a week with a kinda "lecture" in the beginning and then question time after that. It's the only thing that has truly actually helped me and I thought maybe it could help you too :)
My worst 3 is Heart palpitations I can feel and hear my heart beating in my head which leads to insomnia Uncontrollable shaking feeling..feels like I’m vibrating Day 3 into the CBT program now..still work in progress! But it already helps me a lot..3p’s is working for me!
Thank you for putting these videos out! I am so glad to have found you. My top 3 symptoms are: Dizziness, upset stomach, and brain fog. I thought for YEARS I was just stupid. It wasn't until I realized I had brain fog that I was able to change my diet and begin working on my inner thoughts, and I'm now beginning to see changes in the right direction. It's a process for sure.
I have tears in my eyes because this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Since I had my first vision and migraine symptoms three months ago, I've been afraid that I have some neurological disorder despite normal CT/MRI/blood tests and two normal neuro exams. I'll definitely keep watching your videos because I know I need to change the way I think about this.
Same! Its frustrating because less than a month ago everything was fine. Now I'm constantly scared, I feel everything, I'm nervous, hyperaware, go to bed nervous, wake up nervous, can't sleep more than 5 hours, if that. I'm tired. I hate that doctors tell me I'm healthy because I know that I'm not, at least not mentally and emotionally right now.
Try herbs Indian ginseng called ashwagandha, magnolia bark extract, and holy basil. These herbs will calm the mind reduce cortisol. Overactive minds and intense concentrations due to worry is a major cause of anxiety. Get out and exercise it helps more than you think. Try those herbs they are wonderful.
I woke up this morning feeling so anxious and low, after watching this video it’s really helped me out and has really lifted my mood, I can now go ahead with my day in a more positive way! Thank you so much for all these videos they really do help!!♥️
Man! This video opened up my mind a bit. I’ve felt like I’m trapped in my own head going in circles forever... it felt normal. Going through headache stress all of the above signals... this is the first video I watch in an attempt to self help. Will be watching as much as I can...thank you!
I have a constant knot in my stomach, all day. And my focus is constantly on this feeling. Now I focus on it without thinking. Even when I'm working. When I shift my focus. I get smashed the symptoms two days ago I shifted my focus to relax, and I ended up feeling sick, shivering cold sweats. Horrible 😓😓
thank you my friend, im 40 and for the first time im experiencing severe anxiety depression and panics, ive been dizzy with head pressure for over a week. ive been to the doctors twice in a week and went to emergency room and got 2 cat scan blood test ekgs and even a had my prostate checked. Everything came negative and perfect health condition but then WHY my headaches and dizziness, pressure, my chest hurts my hands get numb my nose gets congested without mucus. I feel like i cant escape this, wanting to get back to normal, im afraid to sleep cause i feel like im never gonna wake up again. my body hurts, i cry and cry and cry. im tired and I Pray to God to not take me yet cause i have 2 little girls i need to be there for them. I worry my wife and then she gets anxious. I always tought it was a mental thing but never new it came with body pains. But i went to the root of cause and got a piece of mind but i still feel my aches and desperation but i know is part of the conditions so instead of panicking about it i just accept take deep breaths talk to God and then i calm down. stop being afraid of yourself and youll eventually would get better. love you guys and remember, your not alone. God bless and pray a lot. it helps just have faith
Jay Muzik TV Hi! I’m so glad to hear your experience, I’m a 36 year old male going through the same problem and my only worries is my kids, I went to the doctors and everything came negative, I have four days with dizziness and I always try to control my self, what should I do??🙏🏼🙏🏼
thank you so much for sharing this video, i recently encountered having episodes of anxiety attacks and it really did change my life. I can surely say that this was one of the darkest periods I have faced so far in my life. Like what you said, always remember that it is not life-threatening although it may feel like it, stay strong for all those suffering from this dark force. It will be fine! cheers !
kieran thng Glad it spoke to you. Here’s the link to the new health anxiety podcast show as well: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/health-anxiety-show/id1461441374
Thank you, listening to you the water and the music helped me tremendously. Listening to you I layed down and closed my eyes my heart rate went so low from being really high..then I worried something was wrong. These anxiety happened when my mom died. I was on the phone with her when she died and it's been so hard. But I'm glad to have found your channel. I work daily on these feelings.
You are absolutely awesome! you are the only person I truely understand when it comes to anxiety, and I think it is because you explain and give examples so perfectly when you are talking about something. What a great gift you have Dennis!
I've been dealing with anxiety/panic disorder since I've been 17 (I'm 30 now). I was able to get it in check, up until 4 years ago. My most debilitating symptoms here recently are heart palpitations (so much so it keeps me housebound anymore. anytime I try and leave my adrenaline releases like crazy.), breathing difficulty/shortness of breath (it feels like my nose is plugged up all the time), and lastly that I don't eat when I'm feeling stressed. So my anxiety has basically caused me to become anorexic, which is horrible in itself, since it makes my body that much weaker. I feel sick to my stomach when I try to force anything down. I try to stay strong and fight through the horrible attacks, but once one subsides it's like another one takes over. My body is like on constant alert. All this over the years has caused me to become depressed, and just physically worn out. Watching this video, as well as reading the majority of these comments though, gives me peace of mind that I'm not alone, and there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel if I don't give up.♡
Hang in there and try to eat. I've had anxiety where I couldn't eat and lost 15lbs in 3 months. I would eat a waffle with butter and syrup, an egg... then throughout the day, I would drink smoothies, green drinks, carrot and beer juice,yogurt with almonds, bananas and spoonfuls of almond or peanut butter. Soup. That's it. I forced myself. And if I weighed myself, I freaked out even more. I'm now eating again but still have insane light headedness.
Thank you so much :) your videos helped me through a severe relapse :/ gave me new tools to cope and change the way i think and new tools to challenge my anxiety... :) YOU THE MANN :)
I needed this video tonight! I’ve been struggling for 10 mths not realising it’s severe anxiety I have until recently. Thank you for your insight and helpful information. I hope many others find the help they need and hopefully we can put this draining anxiety to a swift end.
Six years ago my father died of a brain tumour. Since then I have had chronic health anxiety. My symptoms are mainly chronic nausea and heartburn. Anyone else out there with the same symptoms?
Craig Baker Well I try to calm myself down by watching videos about anxiety and panic attacks. I also have metoprolol for heart palpitations and I use it if I reallt need to. I talk to my friends or family about it and talking really helps me calm down most of the time. I'm now on a waiting list for therapy with a psychiatrist so hopefully that will help me. Do or did you have any professional help as Well?
This video really got to me, because it's so relatable. I've been suffering with GAD for 3 years and it's just about ruined my life. it all started from discovering I had a heart murmur. I suddenly stopped doing everything I had been doing all my life, which was basically being active and enjoying myself. It got so bad that I started to worry about walking up stairs just to go to the bathroom or my bedroom, because I I was scared to raise my heart rate. A couple of years later I lost my girlfriend, who had been so patient with me and my rock up until that point, as she could see that I just wasn't willing to help myself even when I was pushing help away from other sources. She explained she had goals in life and knew that she couldn't achieve them with me, no matter how much she loved and cared about me. I don't blame her one bit for eventually walking away, but obviously it hurt like hell. Now I'm just convinced I have so many illnesses because of my physical symptoms. I've diagnosed myself with everything from Celiac Disease and SIBO to ALS and having a brain tumour. Can chronic anxiety and stress really cause so many symptoms throughout your body?
I am 16 and health anxiety has completely ruled my life. I also get brain fog and the feeling of fainting. I also believe that every pain that i get in my chest i believe that i am having a heart attack. Its horrible but these videos really help.
I’ve been having some trouble breathing properly and this has been leading me to believe I have ALS. My uncle passed away from this disease and my subconscious is showing me images of myself living with a trach for the rest of my life. My breathing feels like the air outside is the same temperature as my body so I can’t feel the air going in and out. I can easily take deep satisfying breaths, it’s the regular breathing that feels off. Your videos have been helping me take steps of progress. Thank you ❤️
The Anxiety Guy I simply cannot stop listening to your podcasts and watching your videos. Just came down from a small panic attack but my breathing is miraculously better today!! Now I have some tickles in my throat making me afraid I will stop breathing in my sleep tonight but I am TRUSTING my body and my ability to overcome this!! ❤️
Julia Poetain You’ll find that with further understanding and surrounding yourself with like minded people good things internally and externally just begin to happen. If you ever need a step by step guide on Panic and GaD this would be the program to do: anxietyexit.com/my-program/ Much love and thank you again.❤️
YES! I started feeling this a few days ago .. like I know I’m breathing but it literally doesn’t feel like it and I have to breath really hard to feel it and that makes my heart rate go up which then freaks me out so badly!
the dizziness came before the anxiety. thats what freaks me out. the anxiety came from the dizziness. thats why I cant seem to believe that its harmless. aggjhhh
I really love your approach to this problem. I am very grateful to have come across your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your insights, very inspiring and practical!! ♥️
There’s a lot of depersonalization sufferers out there such as myself that would greatly benefit if you could go into detail about how to get out of depersonalization
Wow, around the 6:50 mark I had to stop it to process this. You are speaking my anxiety launguage Dennis. I only wish I knew you personally so you could help me through my day. I wake up and the tightening in the chest starts immediately and then the bad thoughts of what if this happens and that, or I can't face this today maybe tomorrow. Then the shaking in the body and the nervousness then the dreaded oh I'm running out of time at home. Oh it's torture. Pure hell for sure. I always get that 'doomed' sensation through my body that says, you gotta face it and it's like please God just get me through this. It could be something small like driving to work or going to get gas in my car...or dating. You know, regular things people don't stress about! I should really start diving more into your videos. Alright, I'm going to play the rest of it, lol. Whew.
im in the middle of FULL body numbness and tingling (for 4 days straight now), as well as not being able to sleep due to 'shock waves' and chills that i experience the moment i begin to drift off. it just continues over and over again and no matter how much i focus on breathing, it persists. The only way i can sleep is by NOT sleeping for so long, that i become so exhausted that i pass out despite those feelings. I have been unemployed for quite some time due to social anxiety... i cannot get passed job interviews because of it. I reckon that is the root cause of my debilitating symptoms.
Dennis, I really appreciate your clips. Profound knowledge, scientific power combined with spiritual power. I gotta start working on my discomforts the way you recommended during this clip..
Your cortisol levels are highest in the morning and excess cortisol can cause anxiety & adrenaline surge in the morning. I had that for months and started taking a supplement called ashwagandha (can find in natural supplement section at grocery or health food store). It helped a ton.
Over 20 years on Xanax. Tapering off as we speak, ready to ditch the chill pill. So tired of living in fear. Had another major panic attack last week, I had to make a sudden escape from a meeting again. I got the shakes BIG time. Lot's of tremors and fear, the other people attending the meeting must have seen it although we held corona distance. The tremors are the worst. It's like having epileptic seizures. Even when I write this my head is shaking like a rattle snake tale, some of it is benzo withdrawal I guess. Good channel. Thanks for sharing, it means alot.
I love you man. I really do. The best video I've ever seen. It really helped me man. I was suffering from last six long years. But never got a clue why was happening. But now at least I know the reason. I'm feeling awesome. Thanks man. Thank you so much, God bless you man. God be with you
The only symptoms I get are feeling like I have to keep taking deep breaths, noticing my breathing, especially when alone, and feeling afraid. I also have a tic where I will scrunch my nose when I think about it, or blink my eyes tight. I worry about having a stroke because I’m older and my parents died that way, and I worry that something will happen to my children or grandchildren. Is this what’s called “general anxiety”? For the past 6 months I’ve also been tapering slowly from an antidepressant I have been on for 15 years. Will your therapy help me or do I need to do something different. I can’t enjoy life always feeling this way and I know that stress is bad for me. Thank you.
Mary Kane: I know what you mean about breathing. And I know what you mean about being older, alone, and afraid. I have a long history of anxiety and managed it well for a long time, even after my husband passed away 9 years ago. But in the past few months, my anxiety has increased to the point where I worry about everything 24/7, including all kinds of horrible illnesses. The worst symptom is hyperventilation and even when I do breathing exercises - which help - I still obsess about health and breathing, so it's a cycle. I will be able to take a deep breath and think it's ok, then I can't take a deep breath which creates more panic. I believe for me, at least part of it, is the fact that I am alone.
I have had recently start happening to me, the constant attention on my breathing. I have never dealt with this thing in my life and it's exhausting. We will all be better and we will all overcome this, we cannot give up this fight!!!
my symptoms are left head, forehead, eye, cheek pressure..like my forehead and cheek muscles are tight if you move them..also my left eye strain and teary.. who feels dis symptoms
@@renerivas2384 yes you know the feeling like you wash your face with soap for like 10 times a day..the tightness feeling when you smile or move your face or eyebrow
I've been dealing with muscle twitching all over my body. It's benign but everyone says it's permanent. It stressed me out just to accept it. I can't focus away from the parathesia of the face...and menacing twitching all day long. Please help.
I experience this too, really scares me when it happens and I hate it when I have a twitch in my head/neck. I then start worrying I'm going to have a seizure because I never hear anyone talk about twitches coming from anxiety. But I'm learning to accept it is anxiety. You're not alone and it will get better. Just keep fighting.
This is what triggered and exacerbated my anxiety. I have always had problems with overthinking but they were transient and went away...no panic attacks, eeriness, darkness, whatever sensation you are feeling. However i realized my main anxiety: health. I remember as a child (happened when I was maybe 8 or so, then happened as a teen a few times) thinking I couldn't breathe and was convinced I was going to die from suffocation. I am 23 now and began feeling tense a few months ago. The stress of grad school applications and exams, my sisters puppy getting paralyzed, being "good enough" all built up...but one day I remember feeling unusually anxious and started twitching all over. I was worried I had a disease much like you. I became OBSESSED WITH IT! Could not stop thinking about it. This led to weird sensations that made me think i had something wrong with me even more. I have had them for three months and have realized this is just anxiety and stress. But now, I have sleeping issues and I worry about the odd thoughts I have before falling asleep. This makes me feel like Im going crazy and I get anxiety about thinking that I will experience these during the day. this makes me very jumpy and I begin to panic/feel eerie. You're all good! Just some anxiety. It is more common than you think my friend
I want to feel better my anxiety is crippling, and I’m taking antibiotics right now and I feel weak and tired and my anxiety keeps going out of control :/
Thank you very much Dennis, for the video. It is very enlightening and refreshing approach for me. Looking fwd to learn and practice from the rest of your videos. Excellent job
The feelings of what I went through were so very horrific, yet you are on the ball I have to be the director in my life I need to edit the negative and add the positive , the dizziness was so bad and the stomach pains and I thought I had the flu the gasping for air i never knew that a person could go through such pain mentally and physically I thought I was losing my mind, yet it’s my mind playing me because I keep things inside and always am the nice one never played the victim always did what was right.... it’s just not fair , but I’m still here I struggle with my anxiety and panic attacks I have good years, bad months on and off for 23 years yet no one has helped me not doctors not therapists ..etc yet here you are telling me I am ok and I believe that, even though I’m might not be, but I believe I can take charge of my life and my mind and I want to thank you for understanding me, us who are suffering with this pain , it can be debilitating on so many levels BUT I won’t let and want it to take over me at least I’ll try my best not to let it. I want my life back, I want to smile and laugh a real laugh and I know I will now that I have found you here , God Bless you for helping us
Done the same and still feel the symptoms only when I think about it. I swear i had something wrong with me until i was told otherwise. It was my anxiety making me think that smh. Hopefully we all can get through this.
I've had lightheadedness for over a year. MRI blood tests all came out fine. I wake up in the morning and my head is so heavy. The ENT wants me to do a CT scan to see if it's my ears but wouldn't the MRI show that? I just want to feel normal again.
@@susanpusateri well at least you're ok that's the good thing. Anxiety sucks just have to find out what helps you best. I had to change my whole lifestyle, quit eating meat, diary, sodium, quit drinking alcohol, now I've been feeling absolutely amazing.
My biggest frustration is even if I can manage to be pretty calm on the outside, at times, I start having heart palpitations and social anxiety when in a crowd or talking to someone I don't know well. It is SO uncomfortable. I want to change my subsconcious mind but here it is holding on to deep down information and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Something is just not resolved apparently.
Hi everyone. I have had two episodes of severe anxiety this year and I felt like I had no reason to or was making up reasons for it. Turns out it was medication I was taking that gave me those crippling side effects. Always take note of what you’re taking! I got off and feel good as new
Think my anxiety started when my mum was ill, she hated the doctor and we called him out, he dealt with mum but I stressed about it big time, will try the 3 things you advise, hopefully it will help. Thanks Dennis x
just came across your channel and love your work. You have so much info and cover everything. I really appreciate your experience. It is helping so many people. Keep up the good work brother.
Feeling weakness and fatigue for months, doctors cant find any physical reason why! Would anxiety cause this weakness/ fatigue / toxic feeling? Its 24/7 also . Any advice would be great
Once we overcome the fear of fear we can be free, these are just symptoms of arousal, an overload of stress hormones, the body's normal reaction to perceived danger, don't resist get comfortable with it, now if I can just follow my own advice😁
Morning Anxiety Solutions Video Up Now: ua-cam.com/video/wY09c3Tg14s/v-deo.html
The Anxiety Guy hi. My name is Drew. Im 34 years old. I been dealing with anxiety for 2 years now. Can u please help me and talk to me so i can identifi where this is coming from and how to control it ? Please? Im so desperate to make whatever is happening to go away
Depersonalization is one of them. Not only is is terrifying but it messes with your vision
So True Dennis ! I throw things away that I was triggered with before!! Kind of like OCD
This video killed a panic attack I was having. And then I was so happy that I cried. Lol.
Good morning to u Dennis ! Or should I say God. It’s so weird how I came across your UA-cam channel I have been dealing with anxiety since 2003 and it’s crippling and it sucks and it’s debilitating and has stopped me from doing a lot of things or go places, I was sent from a friend of mine to go look for something else last night not relating to anxiety or panic disorder so I watched that video and then alll of a sudden ur tube video came across my screen n it just hit me right in the face! I have to say you are a very wise man everything you had said in your video is everything I’m going through and it makes so much sense. I have subscribed to your channel I will be watching you for you are an inspiration. I would love if you can reach out to me and help me. My email address is dolce076@aol.com I would TRULY APPRECIATE IT !!!! I’m on Instagram @spiritlove911. I hope to hear from u soon n hope u can help me on my journey to recovery !!! Thank you n Blessed Be.
Keep the faith guys. Not so long ago I was crippled by Anxiety. Today I am back to the old me and its all just a bad memory. The key is understanding what's happening and learning to give up the fighting and worrying, but above all losing your fear. Dennis's videos give you all the tools. The guy knows his subject for sure. Much love to you all.
frank leonard Hi Frank thanks for the kind words.
frank leonard I most definitely agree!! What a difference gaining knowledge and understanding of anxiety makes!! I too was crippled by anxiety not too long ago and and am no longer.
Thats good to hear Rayna. Hey Dennis, Keep up the good work Dude!
Me too! Everyday i overcome it more and more!
What a wonderful comment. Sometimes it's comforting just to hear the something like this
The worst part of anxiety for me is the disassociation and intrusive thoughts that come out of nowhere. Very happy to have found the anxiety guy
Nate J same
Same
Do u feel like you are loosing your mind and going insane ?
Same. You’re not alone. CBT helps majorly
Does he have a video on intrusive thinking.
Top 3 for me:
1) Feeling numb and emotionless
2) Dizziness
3) Fatigue from the anxiety itself
The Roar Within brah that just sounds like you’re depressed make progress before it turns into panic attacks.
How to ovrcome?
First is imbalance and it trigger my anxiety :(
Dizziness the WORST
Dizziness,fast heart rate, panic attacks, and over thinking.
i am only 17 and healthy anxiety has taken over my life. First I kept getting headaches and i thought i had a tumor and i would obsess over it and cry. These thoughts would control my moods and relationships with others. Now everyday i feel chest pain and i google my symptoms and think i have a heart or esphogas issues. I am only 17 and i just want to be a teenager and live my life and find happiness. I hope these videos help like others say because i could sure need some type of support right now.
thatblondie77 wow same.
i’m 16 and i can barely breathe all day
I'm sorry it does suck do not Google ur symptoms it will make it worse. face it your not a doctor leave it to them they have the degree. Good luck keep ur head up there is light at the end of tunnel so I have been told.
Yeah hi! I'm also 17 and I've been having this health anxiety pretty much all my life, only recently it has gotten worse. It started with some eye symptoms (the doctors didnt find anything wrong with me) and the symptoms have escalated to tremors, chest pains, headaches, migraines with auras, feeling lightheaded, etc. It's a real struggle, but I want to believe that we'll get through it!
Hi are you OK?
I always wake up anxious. I guess you could say I am always waiting for the next panic attack. I want my life back. I have my whole life ahead of me. I'm happy I found your video!
Heather Payne I feel the same way too
Try some exercise, it doesn’t have to be a heavy workout. Maybe jumping jacks or running in place or shadow boxing anything that gets your body moving 10 minutes or so That will release the adrenaline in your body.
Your program is actually the best thing that could happen to me and my family. Much love.
Nick Peters So happy to hear it Nick.
I can relate to it aswell...Thank you Dennis 😊
Love this
Y’all can do it. I am 34 years old and had my first anxiety attack at 14. I have dealt with it my entire adult life. I stumbled upon the anxiety guy channel and it has changed my whole outlook on life. I used to freak out about every little sensation or pain , but watching these videos has helped me deal with it. I really thank you for changing my life !
Same here! I’m in a bad place right now. How are you doing now? What seemed to help you?
Mine anxiety attacks began at age 10
Last year I suffered a panic attack on an Uber and since then my life was a nightmare. I went to therapy, I took medication, did meditation, yoga, aromatherapy and it took me almost 10 months to feel ok again. But sadly it came back as anticipatory anxiety and again my life feels like a nightmare. I found this video and the last tip you mention was like a painkiller to my suffering. I closed my eyes and changed the story of my previous worst moments of anxiety and it helped me a lot!!!! Thank you Deniss for helping us understand and handle our fears.
Gabriela Morales Valenzuela Excellent. Visualization and emotion can shift any memory that doesn’t serve us well and some do it better than others. Much love.
Hes probably one of better guys about this
This video is so powerful for me, thank you Dennis. I just recently realized that when one sensation passed for me, a new one comes about. Example, for a while I always felt a foggy head, heart palpitations, sweating and fatigue. With time most of those have passed, but now I get head tension/ringing in ears and stomach discomfort. I paid no attention to head tension but the stomach discomfort is new to me. Last night it felt like my stomach was on fire and my mind was telling me “go to the hospital now!”, I laid in bed thinking “maybe this is some sort of gastric issue”. But now, I convinced myself that this is only a trick. Because moments ago I felt fine with slight stomach discomfort and conveniently everything intensified moment I got to bed. I fell asleep and as I’m writing this at the park, I feel good. Slight discomfort in my head but fine. It’s truly amazing how the mind works and how it tries so hard to pull you back
Forward together ❤️
youre not alone, its scary and feels death is eminent. I also get the added ear popping now and completely understand your situations
I have dealt with anxiety and depression for 20 years, and have tried everything, My heart feels like its going to stop, my head feels like its going to blow up, I have also threw up a couple of times, I was on xanan for many years and now I'm having seizures and Dr keep telling me there nothing the can do. HELP PLEASE!!
Did the ear ringing go away?
@@sbapungi1506 I would like to know too
After going to therapy for years, having only one, one on one Skype session with you created more change than ever before. Can't recommend your one on ones enough. Stronger every day
Mia Augusto Simply because the unconscious mind doesn’t understand words, it understands Images and feelings, that’s what the unconscious mind understands. Remember, if the plan doesn’t work change the plan but never the goal. Looking forward to our next session Mia
I think I've had all the symptoms now - headaches, chest pain/tightness, nausea, dizziness, twitches, aches... and now lump in throat feeling! I feel like my mind is throwing all of these symptoms out there to test how I'll react. Def trying my best to overcome it all. Meditation, exercise, and clean eating are a must... but resolving your issues is even more important.
Is everything ok now! I’m going through it right now I need help
How are you now
@@Truerealism747 I’m absolutely fine but because I don’t have anxiety like this anymore
How is your pain now
@@katrinakaye7997 can I know how do you make all your symptoms go away
You're so honest and caring, when you say "I love you guys" you mean it
🙏
Dennis, I've learnt more from you in a few months than I have from any Doctor or therapist in 10 years. You are the best medicine. 💕🙏
Grateful Sara.
100% doctors are shit they don't give a fuck Dennis cares he experience it
I am 25. I've had severe anxiety since I was 12 or so.
You absolutely nailed the physiological aspect of anxiety and how someone suffering from it thinks.
The only thing I've found that really works is resolving the bigger problems in your life slowly.
That and honestly I sometimes just have to force myself to laugh at the fact that I'm being brought to my knees by thoughts.
Thank you and good luck all!
These are by far the best anxiety videos I have found, you speak our language. Doctors often sound robotic and non sympathetic. You are a true leader for all of us. Please never stop helping us. I'm a 10-15year sufferer and I instantly felt better after 1 video. 🙏😁
The 1 Made my day, grateful. 🙏❤️
Nausea, knot in my stomach, and derealization are the most debilitating for me, in that order. This also reflects the severity of my anxiety in the moment. Indigestion is a daily occurrence for me, which can turn to nausea if I'm anxious enough. Then I'll begin to notice knots or churning in the pit of my stomach as I go about my normal activities, eventually leading to a panic attack if I'm not careful with my thoughts. All of my panic attacks come with derealization, where I begin to lose my grip on what's real around me, making it so much harder to calm down because it feels so dangerous to be in that state. It took me learning that I had to sit with, feel, and accept the feelings of dread in my body before I found any real relief and soon stopped experiencing panic attacks and derealization to that degree. The difference is monumental from the days when I was having panic attacks every week or two and would wake up before sunrise needing to throw up for no reason and spend the day with constant dread in my stomach. I still have anxiety and indigestion that I now treat holistically, aside from the occasional antacid. I will say that I went on an SSRI for almost a year when I was having these episodes regularly, which didn't solve the issue for me but helped me feel in control enough to work through it myself. Now, I'm off all meds and can experience the same thoughts or sensations that used to devolve into panic and ease them out of my body using mindfulness and breathing exercises. I haven't dissociated in 2 years and I'm still working to improve every day so that I don't have those terrifying experiences in the future.
You explain it so well. Dennis i feel like my joy has left me when anxiety walked in. Your videos are helping me cling to life and get my joy back and re connect as im also so disconnected. On outside im bubbly on the inside i feel like broken glass .
Teri Murphy Studying this channel will create the clarity you need to move past this time in your life. I believe it. 🙏❤️
Going through your inner circle program, three weeks five days in.... just found this video, I have suffered for 6 years with these three symptoms cycling over and over.....good to know I'm not going mad, and really good to know I'm not alone.....brilliant Dennis....thank you.
May God bless you ! Just wanted to say you helped my girl to fight her anxiety battles. Thank you.
Amit Kar Grateful for this new Amit ❤️🙏
I wake up at night shaking uncontrollably and I hate the shortness of breath and the heart racing. I also feel adrenaline coming up from my stomach up gets the panic going.
It's the dizziness and disorientation that debilitates me , Dennis. Unconsciously, due to thoughts, it crept up again today and progressed into a mini panic attack. I say mini because thanks to you, I've learned to use my skills and calm myself before it gets out of hand.
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time... thank you.
Even though it was difficult, I continued the work I was previously doing and plowed through until it passed.
E Lv dude i just went to the elvator ive been fearing for months because of crazy diziness last time i was there... It was crazyyyyy. Today after long time. I got out my car and said i cant wait to feeel like that again sooooooo much. I was jumpin for joy ..excited...thats all i can thinj about.... Got in the elevator and i got stood up :( panic never came or anxiety. I was smiling and nothibg came. Stupid fukkr stood me up.
So very welcome great to hear
Eτέrnαl Lovε how do you feel now? Hope the dizziness has disappeared.
When all of a sudden you dont know where you are for a few seconds
You have done more for me in the last month than all the other people and things I've tried. I'm exercising again and life is getting better. You're a genius! God bless you!
KRAZEEIZATION Warms my heart thank you. ❤️
I have never seen someone post more practical and amazing advice online for anxiety. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make these videos and trying to help others suffering with anxiety. You’re amazing ❤️
Alex Sedoris Humbled, you’re very welcome and thanks for the support. ❤️
agreed! So thankful
I just found you and I am so glad I did. I've been suffering from anxiety my entire life...50 years. Journaling every day is my #1 goal for 2020. Thank you for motivating me. You seem like a great guy. Happy New Year.
Jeff C Great goal, enjoy the channel Jeff.
Wow!!!! You are amazing! I have heart anxiety last 11 years snd thought I couldn’t stop it and wasted so much time. I’m binge watching your videos and my brain is like yes~ but when I’m in the storm all knowledge goes out the window 💖
Hey Colleen if you're still struggling, you could give the "vacate fear" channel a chance! (Just search it on youtube). He talks about just that and he does live streams several times a week with a kinda "lecture" in the beginning and then question time after that. It's the only thing that has truly actually helped me and I thought maybe it could help you too :)
This is the best video I've ever watched. I love how you state that anxiety is a recovery process not a mental illness. Thank you for posting this
Head Pressure, Chest pains, And brain fog
Dumb fog it's called dumb fog because we are so stupid. Anxiety is real to us.
Exactly
Just wondering how are you doing now ?
Marco Otero well I have STINGING IN TOP OF HEAD All OVER.
@@kathymyers7279 i have tension and pressure in the back of my head for 3 weeks now.
My worst 3 is
Heart palpitations
I can feel and hear my heart beating in my head which leads to insomnia
Uncontrollable shaking feeling..feels like I’m vibrating
Day 3 into the CBT program now..still work in progress! But it already helps me a lot..3p’s is working for me!
Fiona Kent Program Progress, Love it. ❤️
Thank you for putting these videos out! I am so glad to have found you. My top 3 symptoms are: Dizziness, upset stomach, and brain fog. I thought for YEARS I was just stupid. It wasn't until I realized I had brain fog that I was able to change my diet and begin working on my inner thoughts, and I'm now beginning to see changes in the right direction. It's a process for sure.
Does the brain fog feel as if it’s on your left side of your head?
I have tears in my eyes because this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Since I had my first vision and migraine symptoms three months ago, I've been afraid that I have some neurological disorder despite normal CT/MRI/blood tests and two normal neuro exams. I'll definitely keep watching your videos because I know I need to change the way I think about this.
Jennifer Mitchell This channel will give you a deeper understanding I’m sure Jennifer, Much love.
I have been feeling the same way
Same feeling like you . I have done a MRI 5 years ago....and i still feel like i need another one 😐 i have new symptoms 😟😞
You think you are crazy but you are not,just let go..most ppl are affraid to let go
I have the same, I have chronic 24/7 migraine aura of 5 types, dizziness, pulpitations, stomach issues etc I feel your pain xx
I am so desperate to get my life back!
Des Meridian me too!
Me too 😭
Its so easy yet so difficult.
Me too
Same! Its frustrating because less than a month ago everything was fine. Now I'm constantly scared, I feel everything, I'm nervous, hyperaware, go to bed nervous, wake up nervous, can't sleep more than 5 hours, if that. I'm tired. I hate that doctors tell me I'm healthy because I know that I'm not, at least not mentally and emotionally right now.
my anxiety disorder began about 2 months ago.... your videos are helping me get thru the day.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knoell G Very welcome enjoy the channel. ❤️
9 years for me 😭
Try herbs Indian ginseng called ashwagandha, magnolia bark extract, and holy basil. These herbs will calm the mind reduce cortisol. Overactive minds and intense concentrations due to worry is a major cause of anxiety. Get out and exercise it helps more than you think. Try those herbs they are wonderful.
@Jay HTX i no how you feal same here like 3 months ago a fast heart over 200 starts it all but am better same how🤗🤗🤗
I woke up this morning feeling so anxious and low, after watching this video it’s really helped me out and has really lifted my mood, I can now go ahead with my day in a more positive way!
Thank you so much for all these videos they really do help!!♥️
Dennis is the man. He’s helped me so much.
Man! This video opened up my mind a bit. I’ve felt like I’m trapped in my own head going in circles forever... it felt normal. Going through headache stress all of the above signals... this is the first video I watch in an attempt to self help. Will be watching as much as I can...thank you!
agreed I'm gaining so much awareness and clarity
I have a constant knot in my stomach, all day. And my focus is constantly on this feeling. Now I focus on it without thinking. Even when I'm working. When I shift my focus. I get smashed the symptoms two days ago I shifted my focus to relax, and I ended up feeling sick, shivering cold sweats. Horrible 😓😓
thank you my friend, im 40 and for the first time im experiencing severe anxiety depression and panics, ive been dizzy with head pressure for over a week. ive been to the doctors twice in a week and went to emergency room and got 2 cat scan blood test ekgs and even a had my prostate checked. Everything came negative and perfect health condition but then WHY my headaches and dizziness, pressure, my chest hurts my hands get numb my nose gets congested without mucus. I feel like i cant escape this, wanting to get back to normal, im afraid to sleep cause i feel like im never gonna wake up again. my body hurts, i cry and cry and cry. im tired and I Pray to God to not take me yet cause i have 2 little girls i need to be there for them. I worry my wife and then she gets anxious. I always tought it was a mental thing but never new it came with body pains. But i went to the root of cause and got a piece of mind but i still feel my aches and desperation but i know is part of the conditions so instead of panicking about it i just accept take deep breaths talk to God and then i calm down. stop being afraid of yourself and youll eventually would get better. love you guys and remember, your not alone. God bless and pray a lot. it helps just have faith
Jay Muzik TV Hi! I’m so glad to hear your experience, I’m a 36 year old male going through the same problem and my only worries is my kids, I went to the doctors and everything came negative, I have four days with dizziness and I always try to control my self, what should I do??🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow your symptoms are exactly mine!! I’m relieved I’m not the only one
thank you so much for sharing this video, i recently encountered having episodes of anxiety attacks and it really did change my life. I can surely say that this was one of the darkest periods I have faced so far in my life. Like what you said, always remember that it is not life-threatening although it may feel like it, stay strong for all those suffering from this dark force. It will be fine! cheers !
kieran thng Glad it spoke to you. Here’s the link to the new health anxiety podcast show as well: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/health-anxiety-show/id1461441374
I'm all signed up for your anxiety retreat in January! excited to meet you in person. You have helped me incredibly.
Aida Silks Can’t wait Aida looking forward to seeing you at the retreat!
..I feel all the negatives..my eyes heavy and head hurts..yet I fight it all..with prayers. And positive video like this.
Thank you, listening to you the water and the music helped me tremendously. Listening to you I layed down and closed my eyes my heart rate went so low from being really high..then I worried something was wrong. These anxiety happened when my mom died. I was on the phone with her when she died and it's been so hard. But I'm glad to have found your channel. I work daily on these feelings.
You are absolutely awesome! you are the only person I truely understand when it comes to anxiety, and I think it is because you explain and give examples so perfectly when you are talking about something. What a great gift you have Dennis!
Your background looks great and relaxing that must be a great place to calm anxiety 👏🏻
This gave me so much hope here today. Ty Dennis I have anxiety symptoms so bad sometimes and it’s just the feelings, but it is scary sometimes.
I've been dealing with anxiety/panic disorder since I've been 17 (I'm 30 now). I was able to get it in check, up until 4 years ago. My most debilitating symptoms here recently are heart palpitations (so much so it keeps me housebound anymore. anytime I try and leave my adrenaline releases like crazy.), breathing difficulty/shortness of breath (it feels like my nose is plugged up all the time), and lastly that I don't eat when I'm feeling stressed. So my anxiety has basically caused me to become anorexic, which is horrible in itself, since it makes my body that much weaker. I feel sick to my stomach when I try to force anything down. I try to stay strong and fight through the horrible attacks, but once one subsides it's like another one takes over. My body is like on constant alert. All this over the years has caused me to become depressed, and just physically worn out. Watching this video, as well as reading the majority of these comments though, gives me peace of mind that I'm not alone, and there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel if I don't give up.♡
Hang in there and try to eat. I've had anxiety where I couldn't eat and lost 15lbs in 3 months. I would eat a waffle with butter and syrup, an egg... then throughout the day, I would drink smoothies, green drinks, carrot and beer juice,yogurt with almonds, bananas and spoonfuls of almond or peanut butter. Soup. That's it. I forced myself. And if I weighed myself, I freaked out even more. I'm now eating again but still have insane light headedness.
heart palpitations are the worst experience. I have been doing The Anxiety Guy's Panic Recovery program its helping these symptoms
Thank you so much :) your videos helped me through a severe relapse :/ gave me new tools to cope and change the way i think and new tools to challenge my anxiety... :) YOU THE MANN :)
My three worst are the electric brain/body zaps. The feel like i'm dying & detachment feeling. Can't stand them!
omg that happens whenever i miss a dose of my zoloft! i know exactly what thats like and its annoying
I haven’t slept for two days because of this, idk what to do.
I get burning stinging skin and nuropathy in my feet
Crazy how fuc up the body can be to all!!!!
M too here during day and night
I needed this video tonight! I’ve been struggling for 10 mths not realising it’s severe anxiety I have until recently. Thank you for your insight and helpful information. I hope many others find the help they need and hopefully we can put this draining anxiety to a swift end.
I cant sleep. I'm waking up after 3 to 5 hours of sleep and cant fall back to sleep. If I dio start falling back to sleep, i will suddenly jolt awake
Man this guy is amazing !! You’ve helped me so much , I am beyond thankful. Still on my journey, but you’re heaven sent. Thank you so so so much !
Six years ago my father died of a brain tumour. Since then I have had chronic health anxiety. My symptoms are mainly chronic nausea and heartburn. Anyone else out there with the same symptoms?
I'm sorry for your loss. I have those symptoms as well when I'm anxious yes.
Kelly H thanks for kind words. What do you do to get rid of your symptoms?
Craig Baker Well I try to calm myself down by watching videos about anxiety and panic attacks. I also have metoprolol for heart palpitations and I use it if I reallt need to. I talk to my friends or family about it and talking really helps me calm down most of the time. I'm now on a waiting list for therapy with a psychiatrist so hopefully that will help me. Do or did you have any professional help as Well?
Kelly H thanks for sharing that information. Have you had tests for your nausea?
Craig Baker No problem. I have this nausea because of pills I need to take because of my stomach problems.
You are incredibly helpful and explain it so well what my anxiety disorder suffering is , thanks 🙏 Dennis
I have chest tightness and foggyness and breathin hard. But im trying. Much love guys.
Breathing hard 😞
This video really got to me, because it's so relatable. I've been suffering with GAD for 3 years and it's just about ruined my life. it all started from discovering I had a heart murmur. I suddenly stopped doing everything I had been doing all my life, which was basically being active and enjoying myself. It got so bad that I started to worry about walking up stairs just to go to the bathroom or my bedroom, because I I was scared to raise my heart rate. A couple of years later I lost my girlfriend, who had been so patient with me and my rock up until that point, as she could see that I just wasn't willing to help myself even when I was pushing help away from other sources. She explained she had goals in life and knew that she couldn't achieve them with me, no matter how much she loved and cared about me. I don't blame her one bit for eventually walking away, but obviously it hurt like hell. Now I'm just convinced I have so many illnesses because of my physical symptoms. I've diagnosed myself with everything from Celiac Disease and SIBO to ALS and having a brain tumour. Can chronic anxiety and stress really cause so many symptoms throughout your body?
Yeah what symptoms have you hot
I am 16 and health anxiety has completely ruled my life. I also get brain fog and the feeling of fainting. I also believe that every pain that i get in my chest i believe that i am having a heart attack. Its horrible but these videos really help.
Philipp Benigni Take it slow absorbing this content, you’ll get to a better place soon. 🙏❤️
Do you also feel detached from reality?
I’ve been having some trouble breathing properly and this has been leading me to believe I have ALS. My uncle passed away from this disease and my subconscious is showing me images of myself living with a trach for the rest of my life. My breathing feels like the air outside is the same temperature as my body so I can’t feel the air going in and out. I can easily take deep satisfying breaths, it’s the regular breathing that feels off. Your videos have been helping me take steps of progress. Thank you ❤️
Julia Poetain Great to hear you’re progressing in this area Julia Enjoy the channel. ❤️
The Anxiety Guy I simply cannot stop listening to your podcasts and watching your videos. Just came down from a small panic attack but my breathing is miraculously better today!! Now I have some tickles in my throat making me afraid I will stop breathing in my sleep tonight but I am TRUSTING my body and my ability to overcome this!! ❤️
Julia Poetain You’ll find that with further understanding and surrounding yourself with like minded people good things internally and externally just begin to happen. If you ever need a step by step guide on Panic and GaD this would be the program to do: anxietyexit.com/my-program/ Much love and thank you again.❤️
YES! I started feeling this a few days ago .. like I know I’m breathing but it literally doesn’t feel like it and I have to breath really hard to feel it and that makes my heart rate go up which then freaks me out so badly!
the dizziness came before the anxiety. thats what freaks me out. the anxiety came from the dizziness. thats why I cant seem to believe that its harmless. aggjhhh
Golden Luna definitely!
Sameeeee here
I really badly! And I'm currently in that exact situation right now
Relate*
I feel lightheaded for a year now. And this caused my anxiety. No one can figure out the cause. ENT thinks it could be my ears. Tests coming soon. 😖😥
Finding your channel was the best thing ever happened to me🙏Thank you Dennis ♥️
Enjoy! ❤️
i hate the uncontrollable shaking and heart beat.. and my mind going berserk..
BRO SAMEEE. my heart beats so hard too. THUD THUD THUD. nothing could seem louder.
Yes!
same here, only when i try to sleep at night
What about your eyes? My eyes are sooo sensitive when I try to just focus or TRY to meditate
@@andyayala9119 same it just seems like it's getting worse
I really love your approach to this problem. I am very grateful to have come across your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your insights, very inspiring and practical!! ♥️
Autumn anne Very welcome enjoy the channel. ❤️❤️
Thank you Dennis!!🥰 Even though I’ve watched this before it does so much good to go back and watch again.🤗
So very welcome Coralee great to hear from you.
There’s a lot of depersonalization sufferers out there such as myself that would greatly benefit if you could go into detail about how to get out of depersonalization
Jay D do you get super dizzy and legs get real heavy?
Move on with life
johnb382s yesss it’s terrible
Wow, around the 6:50 mark I had to stop it to process this. You are speaking my anxiety launguage Dennis. I only wish I knew you personally so you could help me through my day. I wake up and the tightening in the chest starts immediately and then the bad thoughts of what if this happens and that, or I can't face this today maybe tomorrow. Then the shaking in the body and the nervousness then the dreaded oh I'm running out of time at home. Oh it's torture. Pure hell for sure. I always get that 'doomed' sensation through my body that says, you gotta face it and it's like please God just get me through this. It could be something small like driving to work or going to get gas in my car...or dating. You know, regular things people don't stress about! I should really start diving more into your videos. Alright, I'm going to play the rest of it, lol. Whew.
Thank you very much for the simple and clear explanation. I am not alone. I will definitely practice .
Arpie Kanzoghian Far From alone, enjoy the channel. ❤️
im in the middle of FULL body numbness and tingling (for 4 days straight now), as well as not being able to sleep due to 'shock waves' and chills that i experience the moment i begin to drift off. it just continues over and over again and no matter how much i focus on breathing, it persists. The only way i can sleep is by NOT sleeping for so long, that i become so exhausted that i pass out despite those feelings.
I have been unemployed for quite some time due to social anxiety... i cannot get passed job interviews because of it. I reckon that is the root cause of my debilitating symptoms.
How are you now?
Dennis, I really appreciate your clips. Profound knowledge, scientific power combined with spiritual power. I gotta start working on my discomforts the way you recommended during this clip..
Im working on them too as we speak
My anxiety comes worst in the early mornings. Chest tightness, can’t breath, nausea 😞😞😞. I don’t know how to control this . Help
Mine is terrible in the morning.
Your cortisol levels are highest in the morning and excess cortisol can cause anxiety & adrenaline surge in the morning. I had that for months and started taking a supplement called ashwagandha (can find in natural supplement section at grocery or health food store). It helped a ton.
Amanda Cowell what time do you take the ashwaghanda? Is it best to take it at night before bed?
@@amandacowell9328 How much ashwagandha would you take daily and for how long until you noticed some results?
do u have also cough
I'm so happy I found this video! I deal with anxiety daily and it has changed my life completely... It's miserable!
I am so grateful for you Dennis!
Over 20 years on Xanax. Tapering off as we speak, ready to ditch the chill pill. So tired of living in fear. Had another major panic attack last week, I had to make a sudden escape from a meeting again. I got the shakes BIG time. Lot's of tremors and fear, the other people attending the meeting must have seen it although we held corona distance. The tremors are the worst. It's like having epileptic seizures. Even when I write this my head is shaking like a rattle snake tale, some of it is benzo withdrawal I guess. Good channel. Thanks for sharing, it means alot.
I get pain in my ribs and a tightness in my diaphragm that feels like a stitch. Horrible
Hello have you overcame these syndromes I have the same thing 😥
@@lyndabooker4821 I have the same right now please tell me how to overcome
I love you man. I really do. The best video I've ever seen. It really helped me man. I was suffering from last six long years. But never got a clue why was happening. But now at least I know the reason. I'm feeling awesome. Thanks man. Thank you so much, God bless you man. God be with you
shaam564 Grateful for your kind words my friend. 🙏❤️
The only symptoms I get are feeling like I have to keep taking deep breaths, noticing my breathing, especially when alone, and feeling afraid. I also have a tic where I will scrunch my nose when I think about it, or blink my eyes tight. I worry about having a stroke because I’m older and my parents died that way, and I worry that something will happen to my children or grandchildren. Is this what’s called “general anxiety”? For the past 6 months I’ve also been tapering slowly from an antidepressant I have been on for 15 years. Will your therapy help me or do I need to do something different. I can’t enjoy life always feeling this way and I know that stress is bad for me. Thank you.
Mary Kane: I know what you mean about breathing. And I know what you mean about being older, alone, and afraid. I have a long history of anxiety and managed it well for a long time, even after my husband passed away 9 years ago. But in the past few months, my anxiety has increased to the point where I worry about everything 24/7, including all kinds of horrible illnesses. The worst symptom is hyperventilation and even when I do breathing exercises - which help - I still obsess about health and breathing, so it's a cycle. I will be able to take a deep breath and think it's ok, then I can't take a deep breath which creates more panic. I believe for me, at least part of it, is the fact that I am alone.
I have had recently start happening to me, the constant attention on my breathing. I have never dealt with this thing in my life and it's exhausting. We will all be better and we will all overcome this, we cannot give up this fight!!!
That was smart and first time I heard of this idea to re-edit the experience! Been feeling the throat closing sensations so I will be doing this!
This video on throat issues with anxiety will also speak to you: ua-cam.com/video/szOfGfVibIg/v-deo.html
I’m glad to have found your channel bro.
The Roar Within Welcome ❤️
6 years try 25 plus years but I can't live this way anymore and finally started listening to your videos. Great info
Jenifer Morency Thank you Jenifer.
my symptoms are left head, forehead, eye, cheek pressure..like my forehead and cheek muscles are tight if you move them..also my left eye strain and teary..
who feels dis symptoms
Yup...
Feel as if I've been smiling all day. Face muscles feel tight.
@@renerivas2384 yes you know the feeling like you wash your face with soap for like 10 times a day..the tightness feeling when you smile or move your face or eyebrow
@@vannachua3332 Yes...I get that from time to time. Along with twitching facial muscles.
@@renerivas2384 is that gad or stress or anxiety symptoms
@@vannachua3332 Well could be all of the above. Those are all stress/anxiety symptoms.
This has been the best video I have watched... Thank you so much for this.
DPCSFEC MCC Very welcome thank you for the kind words. 🙏
I've been dealing with muscle twitching all over my body. It's benign but everyone says it's permanent. It stressed me out just to accept it. I can't focus away from the parathesia of the face...and menacing twitching all day long. Please help.
I experience this too, really scares me when it happens and I hate it when I have a twitch in my head/neck. I then start worrying I'm going to have a seizure because I never hear anyone talk about twitches coming from anxiety. But I'm learning to accept it is anxiety. You're not alone and it will get better. Just keep fighting.
This is what triggered and exacerbated my anxiety. I have always had problems with overthinking but they were transient and went away...no panic attacks, eeriness, darkness, whatever sensation you are feeling. However i realized my main anxiety: health. I remember as a child (happened when I was maybe 8 or so, then happened as a teen a few times) thinking I couldn't breathe and was convinced I was going to die from suffocation. I am 23 now and began feeling tense a few months ago. The stress of grad school applications and exams, my sisters puppy getting paralyzed, being "good enough" all built up...but one day I remember feeling unusually anxious and started twitching all over. I was worried I had a disease much like you. I became OBSESSED WITH IT! Could not stop thinking about it. This led to weird sensations that made me think i had something wrong with me even more. I have had them for three months and have realized this is just anxiety and stress. But now, I have sleeping issues and I worry about the odd thoughts I have before falling asleep. This makes me feel like Im going crazy and I get anxiety about thinking that I will experience these during the day. this makes me very jumpy and I begin to panic/feel eerie. You're all good! Just some anxiety. It is more common than you think my friend

1. Cant breathe 2. heart hearts 3. feeling worthless
Can't breath😒
The feelings of what I went through were so very horrific, yet you are on the ball I have to be the director in my life I need to edit the negative and add the positive , the dizziness was so bad and the stomach pains and I thought I had the flu the gasping for air i never knew that a person could go through such pain mentally and physically I thought I was losing my mind, yet it’s my mind playing me because I keep things inside and always am the nice one never played the victim always did what was right.... it’s just not fair , but I’m still here I struggle with my anxiety and panic attacks I have good years, bad months on and off for 23 years yet no one has helped me not doctors not therapists ..etc yet here you are telling me I am ok and I believe that, even though I’m might not be, but I believe I can take charge of my life and my mind and I want to thank you for understanding me, us who are suffering with this pain , it can be debilitating on so many levels BUT I won’t let and want it to take over me at least I’ll try my best not to let it. I want my life back, I want to smile and laugh a real laugh and I know I will now that I have found you here , God Bless you for helping us
My head feels empty at times like blurred vision and lightheaded. Had a MRI on my brain it was perfect so was my blood work. Anxiety sucks.
been real609 I️ did the same! Yet the symptoms continue. It’s relentless
Done the same and still feel the symptoms only when I think about it. I swear i had something wrong with me until i was told otherwise. It was my anxiety making me think that smh. Hopefully we all can get through this.
I've had lightheadedness for over a year. MRI blood tests all came out fine. I wake up in the morning and my head is so heavy. The ENT wants me to do a CT scan to see if it's my ears but wouldn't the MRI show that? I just want to feel normal again.
All tests came back okay for my ears, this sucks because I was at least hoping they would find something.😟
@@susanpusateri well at least you're ok that's the good thing. Anxiety sucks just have to find out what helps you best. I had to change my whole lifestyle, quit eating meat, diary, sodium, quit drinking alcohol, now I've been feeling absolutely amazing.
Wow, fascinating! Thanks for your work on this subject!!
Thanks for your comment Mark. 🙏
My biggest frustration is even if I can manage to be pretty calm on the outside, at times, I start having heart palpitations and social anxiety when in a crowd or talking to someone I don't know well. It is SO uncomfortable. I want to change my subsconcious mind but here it is holding on to deep down information and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Something is just not resolved apparently.
shannonm75 You’ll need to start working with an nlp specialist and someone who’s been in your shoes.
Hi everyone. I have had two episodes of severe anxiety this year and I felt like I had no reason to or was making up reasons for it. Turns out it was medication I was taking that gave me those crippling side effects. Always take note of what you’re taking! I got off and feel good as new
1. Fatigue
2. Lightheadedness/dizziness
3. Brain fog/inability to concentrate
It's suck so tired an my mind always foggy
So similar to my symptoms
Think my anxiety started when my mum was ill, she hated the doctor and we called him out, he dealt with mum but I stressed about it big time, will try the 3 things you advise, hopefully it will help. Thanks Dennis x

Jackie James This channel will guide you, as long as you’re willing to do the self discovery and apply new habits. ❤️
just came across your channel and love your work. You have so much info and cover everything. I really appreciate your experience. It is helping so many people. Keep up the good work brother.
Thank you for the kind words Maruf, enjoy the channel.
Feeling weakness and fatigue for months, doctors cant find any physical reason why! Would anxiety cause this weakness/ fatigue / toxic feeling? Its 24/7 also . Any advice would be great
I have the whole body weakness exhausted jelly legs constantly 24/7
You are so wise Dennis! Thank you for sharing this GOLD.
My pleasure!
Once we overcome the fear of fear we can be free, these are just symptoms of arousal, an overload of stress hormones, the body's normal reaction to perceived danger, don't resist get comfortable with it, now if I can just follow my own advice😁
This is true
