Everytime i get bad symptoms i go back to ur videos for comfort ! Thank you for sharing ur experiences with us … the anxious community is huge and often unheard
Your video about ALS really help me. I was blissfully living my life when i discovered about ALS, and it was just down the rabbit hole for me. Reading too much about it,forums, articles. Realizing that my muscles twitch even tho i have it years before i read about ALS, and i got really depressed. Again i had no weakness or atrophy for WEEKS AND MONTHS but I can't still stop the anxiety attack whenever my muscle twitch a bit. I got better for sometime but ALS is like a trigger word for me which i need to work on, If a TV show or ALS appear somewhere, it just trigger my bad routine and repeat the cycle. Much love from VietNam
Muscles twitching not accompanied by actual weakness ( like you can't move heavy object even you really try) is meaninglessness. I am not a doctor but after spending way too much time reading ALS, I can say that with confidence, ofc go to your doctor if my words doesn't bring you peace of mind
This is me too currently and why I found these videos because I have a client with it and it’s totally spiralled me out. First time I have been so anxious and scared daily, so trying to do as @cherellethinks says and stopped googling and also trying to replace through process that I have it too. I am struggling because my client who has I have to deal with her and want to support her ( lI am her financial adviser) but everyone I work on it, I trigger and panic and have mini bursts of dread. It’s horrible 😢😰
As a sufferer of health anxiety, I believe it stems from a much bigger issue - death anxiety. That's what we need to tackle and overcome if we want to find peace.
Everyone lives, everyone dies. It’s going to happen, we can’t control it, and we can’t be bothered by things we can’t control. If it happened before, it’s not happening now, if you think it’s going to happen, it’s not happening now. We as humans let our intellect harm us, that’s our number one gift! Cherish it, Cherish life. Love always
I just want to thank you. Your videos have given me the strength to focus on getting better. I found your videos in actively thinking I had ALS. My cloudiness is slowly going away and I'm just so thankful to have found your Channel!
UA-cam recommended this channel to me at the right time. I didn't even know that what I had had a name. Thank you for being here! much love from Brazil
The past month has been tough and normal daily activities seemed to be impossible to do. However, your videos have helped so much!! I was on the verge of having a panic attack when i watched a video of yours and I was able to prevent it completely! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your content, its been really helpful to discover. If you have time in the future I wonder if you could make a video addressing those of us (me very much included) who have the strong urge to avoid the doctor because of this fear and how we can try to tackle that. Sending all the support!!
I had a brain bleed 3 years ago needed emergency surgery, doctors never figured out why it happened, I luckily fully recovered but dealt with severe health anxiety afterwards , it’s hard to find a balance between being aware of possible warning signs and anxiety manifesting into headaches and numbness - I’ve gotten much better recently but just gone for another check up mri after a panic attack or mini stroke who knows
I am 65 years old and fell into health anxiety last December because of some nasty results of my CT ( none of them life threatening though). It‘s been hell ever since and I do believe that at my age it‘s a whole different story suffering from HA than when you‘re young- more real if you want. I have watched some of your videos but have yet to find one explaining certain meds that could help.
So Glad I stumbled across you, what you are saying is spot on. I agree with what you are saying about, Stop excessively checking , googling etc and asking for reassurance. This is me to a tea. What I cannot get my head around is how to stop worrying about every little skin imperfection of tiny blip that appears on my face. I seem to get pulled into a vicious circle where I constantly get new things pop up on my face, and I automatically think the worse and the anxiety kicks in bigtime. I get checked once a year but within days I find myself in the vicious cycle where I check my face numerous times a day and panic when I see something new like a little blemish or freckle. I did have a scare during covid with something that came up on my forehead, was told by GP for 4 years it was fine then they changed their mind and sent me to a dermatologist who checked it and said it was nothing to worry about. This has now caused me to worry about everything that appears, and I cannot stop checking my face numerous times a day as asking for reassurance. Its driving me insane as I have been like this now for 4 years. Any tips woudl be greatly appreciated as I cant get myself out of it.
Can’t believe I found this channel. I used to do all these things, googling, checking etc. I’m doing much better now. I was wondering, how does one manage the anxiety when there IS actually a diagnosis of an illness? When The lies your brain tells you actually become the truth?
I think when someone is actually unwell with something that the anxiety felt is very reasonable. It’s totally normal and understandable to feel anxious if somebody is diagnosed with something. 🤍
In my experience living with health anxiety my entire life and was actually diagnosed with lifelong and life-threatening illness: you deal with it and continue to worry about other illnesses 😂
When I know about somebody that its ill out of nowhere I begin to ask what were the symtoms they ignored. And then I am constantly checking myself to see I do not have that . This is horrible and I have to go away or not read news about people who out of nowhere have an aneurisma and died and that triggers a lot of my health anxiety. Also all the things about the Covid Vaccine and side effects of people with problems with heart failure after vaccine and the coagulation thing that made me worst this year I have a set back and help me to do exercise and check with Dr everything is ok. But now I have high blood pressure something basicaly normal in women with perimenopause and I am on medícation and living scared all the time of having something in my heart. Now I am dealing with this set back living without health anxiety for years now after Covid it came back . I am on therapy and is a daily struggle. Thank you Cherelle I am a follower of your videos since the begining and you are very important in my process . Thank you for all that you do. ❤
Hi there. I believe I am on the right path. I know it’s mind body. I’ve went from having pelvic pain, symptom shifted to a different location in my pelvis after 2 years. Then it left my pelvis and went to a different part of my body altogether. These changes come after serious commitment to mind body work. This has all happened within the space of a month. I believe I am at the end of my journey. I know my body is safe.
Im in the ALS trap currently due to a bit of weakness/heavy feeling in arms and legs..its a bit tough at the moment but im glad i have found this channel
@@jhonybraavo not really..more heaviness which get worse the more i focus on it, i try to remember the golden rule of percived weakness v actual weakness or feeling rather than failing
I just went thru this! Have tongue twitches after worrying about it. Went and bought Gatorade light with all the vitamin B’s and it slowed the twitching down. My left leg has been weak for years… I freaked out and thought I had ALS…
@@johnatkinson7479 Don't worry. ALS is always be the thing you should worry, there are tons of other disease that cause those symptoms. Live your life. Go to your doctor, but don't let your anxiety ruin your life.
Really appreciate the video anixety sucks especially when its 24/7, crazy everything happens my senior year hopefully I get better in normal again, your very beautiful by the way ❤
I am currently going through the worst patch of health anxiety of my life. I’ve just started going to A&E and feel like because I’ve done that I can do it time and time again. Got an ultrasound on my liver to discover non-alcoholic liver disease but currently having many symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, eye floaters, dizziness. My partner and all my family are so concerned. I am currently going through everyone for reassurance and currently have a ban on my phone to search certain websites and forums to try and find what’s up with me. All I think about is going to the doctors to discuss everything. All the health professionals have said there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or sinister going on in your body. I feel nauseous all the time but also hungry. I feel like I’m letting so many people down on the way. I have therapy once a week but I just can’t stop thinking I have cancer! I watch your videos to help me understand everything and maybe gather a little bit of reassurance. I am currently off work with my mental health. Luckily I work with my family who are very understanding. Your videos are excellent and I start my real journey today.
Found your channel a year ago when I had gone through the same exact fears and situation as you. After many months of watching and believing you, and focusing on my anxiety instead of twitching, they eventually went back to "occasional" ... but here i am again. This time it's something different and I'm going through all the tests. The spiral is absolutely horrifying again. The thing im "convinced of" now is rare, but my symptoms are hallmark. My zoloft doesn't touch it and xanax only helps for a short time. I'm going to do all the tests because my doctor does want to be safe although he believes it's all an anxiety cycle, but from here on out here is my pledge to stop searching for anything on what I am fearing right now. I even joined a fb support group for the people living with what I'm getting tests for. Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful.
I have actually watched a few of your older videos. First one was the one about Poo, which turned out to be the same thing as you. Now I have these stomach issues...at worst it could be gastritis...But how I just keep going right to (((OH NO IT'S CANCER)) I'm realizing I have a problem. And I'm starting to realize anxiety makes it actually worse. My stomach issues happen every two to three weeks. I will be fine for two or three weeks... then my stomach issues flair up for a few days and have issues eating. And nothing that fits any kind of cancer symptom. Yet I go in a panic. I will be seeing a Gastro soon. But yes I have an extreme cause of anxiety disorder. I go hours shaking my leg. Unable to sleep. I panic over thinking people hate me and things like that. But your videos have been helpful.
These experiences that I am going through are spot on on this video. Keep going to doctor due to joint pains. Hays. I have high CRP rate meaning that I have inflamation but I am not sure whats causing it. Hopefully, it is really anxiety.
Chrelle yout videos really helps alot.. Whenever im anxious i come to your videos and seek comfort and eventually calm myself from being anxious..... I do follow all your free tips. I wanted to say that i cannot really get acess to your personal programs for recovery due to personal reasons.... Can't u give your one step by step recovery video and tips here?? Please its a humble request i really wish to recover ASAP... You're my only hope 🥺❤ thank you so much i was able to overcome this a little through your content.. It would mean alot if you reply please 🥺❤😭
I feel to cry. I am so extremely exhausted with these feelings and anxiety. I am waiting for my therapy sessions to start, and to get over it already. My life in over 14 years have no quality, no colour no happiness because of this anxiety. 😢
I'm going through Anxiety again for the second time. First time i was rid of it as it was down to thyroid issues, once that was sorted it eventually went away. But now it's back. The panic attacks and anxiety were so intense nearly everyday, the toll it takes on your body is immense, you do feel like you are dying sometimes. A lot of anxiety can be down to trauma, grief, ptsd or some event that triggers anxiety. My doctor started explaining to me that there are two brains, one is the brain, the other brain is your gut - the so-called Brain-Gut axis. It's worth reading up about. An imbalance in the gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, can send the wrong signals to the brain and body - Anxiety, depression and digestive issues can be caused by this.
Thank you Cherelle for this video. I have been watching your videos. I suffer from Hypochondria according to my current GP. How I got it? - I was unwell for about 13 years with strange symptoms and the previous GP dismissed it as 'imaginations'. After 13 years, I was very unwell and sent for a blood test and I had Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidism). I was sent to the Endocrinologist and had medicines for 12 months and thankfully my thyroid levels are normal. However, because of 13 years being told I was imagining my symptoms, I have become insecured about my health. So every small symptom I have, my brains screams CANCER. I am trying to heal from this. Listening to your videos helps me somewhat. I thank you Cherelle.
Thing is I served 20 years in the Armed Forces - a very confident, afraid for nothing woman BUT this GP messed my brains up by not taking me seriously.
Listening to this video again. I had a little bump on my facial skin for a few years and about an hour ago, the mind is screaming cancer. I stupidly googled. Well, I remembered this video about the 5 points and back to listening to this video again.
I have found your channel to be so helpful! Thank you! One question I still have is what to do with the spiraling fears? Not googling, or reassurance seeking I understand but how do you stop your mind from the “what ifs” and piecing together new symptoms. At times my mind is bombarded with the worst.
I don’t mean to spam , but i forgot to mention that vitamin b1 (specifically benfotiamine) has been helping me tremendously . Hope it helps anyone out there/ maybe try it out . Bad diet since a kid can contribute to depletion of this vitamin possibly causing a wide variety of symptoms including anxiety attacks
I exhausted all laboratory test, whole body MRI, CTscan PET Scan, blood works (literally all kinds), colonoscopy, endoscopy, X-rays, 2d echo, ecg, stress test, holter, ambulatory, I even have my own BP kit, I measure it almost every other hours, I have my sugar glucose monitor kit, oximeter, smart watch, name it, I even had my Gal bladder removed, i demanded mammogram, also Pap test. IntraV ultrasound, name it, I spend sooo much and because our country have zero to non acceptance on mental health few years back, and just recently when I met my Gastro he felt it has something to do with my mental health, till today I’m scared to go to a Psychiatrist because I know that kind of doctor here is still not much of that open on things like this. So here I am still stuck on this cycle. I badly need help. I’m so tired. That sometimes I just want to end things to get over and done with. I need help please help me.
I found you from a show I watched about rare allergies. I have chronic urticaria..same rash, same places, same result when I sweat or in contact with water...I gave up on doctors looking at me like I was crazy... and thought I'd wait to see if I could find someone else like me. Mine started at 15 and never stopped. I guess there are now 31 of us in the world now. They should get us together for research to find out why we have this reaction to possibly find a cure. I dream about taking a bath longer than 20 minutes.
Hi! Please help. I have awful health anxiety after I was diagnosed with PCOS for fertility issues. I am always googling symptoms worrying about my ovaries. I’ve had cysts but they have always went away. I’ve googled ovarian torsion and ovarian cancer and every time I have any bodily sensations I always go straight to that.
I have watched many of your videos because I was told I have health anxiety. After three years of investigations it turns out I actually have a brain cancer that affects me neurologically. It cause seizures, headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, pain... Unfortunately, the brain cancer is uncureable and terminal. Now, I need to find a death/dieing therapist. 😞
Hello Cherelle, I am reaching out today out of desperation. I have had anxiety and depression for a long time I’d say 6 years. I have recently quit a long term addiction of adult media content as well. I now don’t have anxiety or panic attacks as bad as I use too. I have chronic insomnia now and it worries me very much because I know I still have health anxiety. I haven’t slept in about 4-5 days at all. I’m hoping you see this message and can give me some advice/hope and share your experience with insomnia. Thank you!
@ it is going much better! It’s all about realizing that worrying about not sleeping that causes you to stay more awake. The moment you give up on trying to sleep you will sleep! I hope things get better for you!
I was recently diagnosed with Heds and I am trying to find ways to get relief and educate myself but it gave me anxiety because the internet seems to automatically go to the worst info for everything I am just gonna keep living and doing what has been getting me through I’m done watching videos or googling anything
I lost my mom 2 months ago because of terminal disease, and my health anxiety is getting worse and worse. I have stomach pain and gut issues, and I think I have stomach cancer. Health anxiety is killing me and makes me suicidal. Therapy didn't work for me. I'm really tired...
My health anxiety disappeared when I eliminated gluten from my diet. I had health anxiety for my entire life, which comes in episodes, but for the last 2 years, it has been out of control. Try to do research on the relationship between a gluten-free diet and health anxiety, maybe it will help some of you.
I'm sorry but if you think that gluten is the cause of your anxiety, then you haven't understood any of what these videos are saying. You've just made another false link between two unrelated things, and it will fail for you at some stage (and, be honest, like all the other times you thought you found the answer in something else). If you're not owning and facing up to the anxiety itself, which is a consequence of overthinking and compulsive unhealthy behaviour; then you will never be free of it.
I don’t Google at all, however every day I watch videos based around anxiety, health anxiety, a lot of the time based on my symptoms I’m having at the time. Is this classed as reassurance seeking?
I've watched an old video of u about the fear from c t scan radiation I wonder how do u feel about it now because u were really frightened and i'am worried too I've done a head c t scan 10 years ago can u please answer me
Do you have any content on how to deal with health anxiety when you do in fact have a chronic illness but your health anxiety makes you think you have additional issues?
I am having constant numbness in legs and hands. Basically whenever there's a pressure like while sitting my legs go numb so fast. Anybody else feeling something same ?
@@shashanksingh1072 just have to keep moving when they go dead, i just make sure I'm lying down watching the TV instead of sitting, arms and legs all even pressure. I have a hot water bottle for my feet as they're freezing with no circulation. It's not as bad tonight, was really bad for about a week, it comes and goes in cycles with other symptoms. Bloody horrible I know not much we can do really. .
Hello, did you ever have brain fog with feelings like there’s a disconnect between my brain and muscle movement? I’ve been suffering from severe health anxiety for lots of years. And now I’m struggling with terrible brain fog feeling of disconnect with brain and muscles ,twitches and fears of neurological disorders.😢
Hi, I've been dealing with dpdr for 6 months aprox and I think I'm doing well, the last month was symptom free. But suddenly something triggered me and I got brain fog again. I'd like to ask if that's normal, because I was really motivated and proud of myself...
Hi. I’ve tried posting twice and each time it’s removed. Is there anyway of contacting you first via email to ask a few questions prior to purchasing a one time session in the first instance? Thanks David (Health anxiety sufferer)
We are not separate from the universe we are the universe. And so we are just as much for example a tree or a book as we are the body, or everyone else as much as the immediate body. So everyone’s achievements are just as much your achievements: you painted the Mona Lisa, you designed the Sagrada Família, you ran 100m in 9.58 seconds etc. There is no other or external it is all you/ the universe. The universe or existence could also be referred to as God, all there is is God. In the universe being us, or in us being the universe, that could also be said as we are doing this. We are being or doing our entire experience, and furthermore everything that has ever happened or will happen. It is us which identifies anything being in particular to give it individuality but when we are not doing that and furthermore regardless if we do that there is already everything free from the need for anything in particular to be identified and so everything as a whole or wholeness, absolute freedom (non-duality).
Hey I study medicine and I think I have health anxiety…do you think is something temporary because of what I read? Do you think I have to choose a less stressful specialty ?
Is therapy different for somatic symptom anxiety disorder and health anxiety disorder? I don't worry about getting diseases, i have chronic physical symptoms and worry about them and what they are and whether they will ever go away. They are chronic and debilitating 24/7

Hey, i was wondering if you or anyone in the chat here had had rabies anxiety? Cause i woke up 3 months ago with 2 marks on my leg and now i’ve had tingling/pain where the marks was for 1 month and its not going away.. it comes and goes Even when im relaxed.. i’ve been to the doctor and he said its no chance i got it since its so rare in norway. But i remember something flying in the garage while i was working there but didn’t see What it was or anything so now im freaking out.. has anyone else had the tingling/burning sensation so long and to a very specific place?
Can anxiety create brain fog issues ? I do admit I watch videos and search for reassurance 😢I try to suffer is silence recently bc I feel like I drive my friends and family nuts bc I’m asking them for reassurance
@@JillPalmer-ek8gn my advice is don't assume the worst will happen to you, just don't because it is ludicrous. You don't stop going outside just because someone might stab you
@@JillPalmer-ek8gn dizziness,depression and tinnitus. I basically cure my dizziness and depression but just top googling. My tinnitus subside quite a bit too. I am not saying it will be easy. The feeling of wanting to google stuff will come with anxiety attack, don't listen to it, you are not harming yourself by not googling. Remember Google just give you informations, it is meaningless without test and tool to diagnose.
Stopped eating cause of ibs and autoimmune thyroid issues and now cant eat anyth! Just eggs and bread and bananan, 4 ingredients left in my life! Can u help with this plz. Getting serious weaknesses now
Last year i convinced myself i had bone cancer. Right now its headaches. Ive convinced myself of a tumor. Back on meds until my ct scan in 9 days. Wish me luck anxious fam 🫡🫨
I have horrible headaches as well and pain behind the eye. I tried to have a MRI scan two weeks ago and went in the machine twice but the noise was unbearable it was so loud. It was making my headache even worse. There was no way my brain was blocking out the noise. They gave me really crap foam ear plugs which didn’t seem to block out any noise. The scan I was having you can’t have the radio on. The lovely ladies said go and have a CT scan as it isn’t noisy so getting that booked this week once my new letter comes through.
I am just praying that I don’t have to have the dye injected when I have a CT scan. I have heard it’s not good for the body and can cause long term side affects.

@@johnatkinson7479 Don't worry. ALS is always be the thing you should worry, there are tons of other disease that cause those symptoms. Live your life. Go to your doctor, but don't let your anxiety ruin your life.
Really appreciate the video anixety sucks especially when its 24/7, crazy everything happens my senior year hopefully I get better in normal again, your very beautiful by the way ❤
I am currently going through the worst patch of health anxiety of my life. I’ve just started going to A&E and feel like because I’ve done that I can do it time and time again. Got an ultrasound on my liver to discover non-alcoholic liver disease but currently having many symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, eye floaters, dizziness. My partner and all my family are so concerned. I am currently going through everyone for reassurance and currently have a ban on my phone to search certain websites and forums to try and find what’s up with me. All I think about is going to the doctors to discuss everything. All the health professionals have said there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or sinister going on in your body. I feel nauseous all the time but also hungry. I feel like I’m letting so many people down on the way. I have therapy once a week but I just can’t stop thinking I have cancer! I watch your videos to help me understand everything and maybe gather a little bit of reassurance. I am currently off work with my mental health. Luckily I work with my family who are very understanding. Your videos are excellent and I start my real journey today.
*my family are concerned about my mental health
Hope you are feeling better. It's comforting knowing you are not alone and you are not :)
Can Milk Thistle help with your liver.
I've been taking Milk Thistle for the last 10 years.
Found your channel a year ago when I had gone through the same exact fears and situation as you. After many months of watching and believing you, and focusing on my anxiety instead of twitching, they eventually went back to "occasional" ... but here i am again. This time it's something different and I'm going through all the tests. The spiral is absolutely horrifying again. The thing im "convinced of" now is rare, but my symptoms are hallmark. My zoloft doesn't touch it and xanax only helps for a short time. I'm going to do all the tests because my doctor does want to be safe although he believes it's all an anxiety cycle, but from here on out here is my pledge to stop searching for anything on what I am fearing right now. I even joined a fb support group for the people living with what I'm getting tests for. Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful.
I needed this video so bad! Thank you so much!!! Just subscribed! ❤
You're gorgeous, and it made my anxious feelings go away.
Can anxiety cause 24/7 dizziness and dissociation? I feel like I’m living a dream all day everyday
yes
Hi I'm also going through this can we connect?
Me too🙁
Yes , it definitely can and I’m going through it as well.
Literally me for 2 months now, it feels like I’m waking on a boat
The constant googling is just confirming to my brain that something is wrong. It is so hard to stop though!
My health anxiety is starting to creep back up on me and I’m pregnant now so its scaring me more this time around 😢
Sorry if ive commented anything thats been stated in videos im tryind my best to stay positive thank you for these videos
Well put. Looking forward to next session.
i'd book a session if i wasn't broke cause you actually understand and have been through these problems
I have actually watched a few of your older videos. First one was the one about Poo, which turned out to be the same thing as you. Now I have these stomach issues...at worst it could be gastritis...But how I just keep going right to (((OH NO IT'S CANCER)) I'm realizing I have a problem. And I'm starting to realize anxiety makes it actually worse. My stomach issues happen every two to three weeks. I will be fine for two or three weeks... then my stomach issues flair up for a few days and have issues eating. And nothing that fits any kind of cancer symptom. Yet I go in a panic. I will be seeing a Gastro soon. But yes I have an extreme cause of anxiety disorder. I go hours shaking my leg. Unable to sleep. I panic over thinking people hate me and things like that. But your videos have been helpful.
These experiences that I am going through are spot on on this video. Keep going to doctor due to joint pains. Hays. I have high CRP rate meaning that I have inflamation but I am not sure whats causing it. Hopefully, it is really anxiety.
Chrelle yout videos really helps alot.. Whenever im anxious i come to your videos and seek comfort and eventually calm myself from being anxious..... I do follow all your free tips. I wanted to say that i cannot really get acess to your personal programs for recovery due to personal reasons.... Can't u give your one step by step recovery video and tips here?? Please its a humble request i really wish to recover ASAP... You're my only hope 🥺❤ thank you so much i was able to overcome this a little through your content.. It would mean alot if you reply please 🥺❤😭
Thank you for this. Every single point resonates 😢
I have same with social media its a big problem
I feel to cry. I am so extremely exhausted with these feelings and anxiety. I am waiting for my therapy sessions to start, and to get over it already. My life in over 14 years have no quality, no colour no happiness because of this anxiety. 😢
I'm going through Anxiety again for the second time. First time i was rid of it as it was down to thyroid issues, once that was sorted it eventually went away. But now it's back. The panic attacks and anxiety were so intense nearly everyday, the toll it takes on your body is immense, you do feel like you are dying sometimes. A lot of anxiety can be down to trauma, grief, ptsd or some event that triggers anxiety. My doctor started explaining to me that there are two brains, one is the brain, the other brain is your gut - the so-called Brain-Gut axis. It's worth reading up about. An imbalance in the gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, can send the wrong signals to the brain and body - Anxiety, depression and digestive issues can be caused by this.
Thank you Cherelle for this video. I have been watching your videos.
I suffer from Hypochondria according to my current GP.
How I got it? - I was unwell for about 13 years with strange symptoms and the previous GP dismissed it as 'imaginations'.
After 13 years, I was very unwell and sent for a blood test and I had Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidism).
I was sent to the Endocrinologist and had medicines for 12 months and thankfully my thyroid levels are normal.
However, because of 13 years being told I was imagining my symptoms, I have become insecured about my health.
So every small symptom I have, my brains screams CANCER.
I am trying to heal from this.
Listening to your videos helps me somewhat.
I thank you Cherelle.
Thing is I served 20 years in the Armed Forces - a very confident, afraid for nothing woman BUT this GP messed my brains up by not taking me seriously.
Listening to this video again. I had a little bump on my facial skin for a few years and about an hour ago, the mind is screaming cancer. I stupidly googled.
Well, I remembered this video about the 5 points and back to listening to this video again.
Thank you so much Cherelle. I will do my best.
I have found your channel to be so helpful! Thank you! One question I still have is what to do with the spiraling fears? Not googling, or reassurance seeking I understand but how do you stop your mind from the “what ifs” and piecing together new symptoms. At times my mind is bombarded with the worst.
heart skipping a beat sufferrers, where you at?
Here 🙋🏼♀️
Here sadly
Definitely here
Just thank you ❤
Omg i love you I’m going crazy no one believes me I’m listening to you literally I’m crying I’m
Not the only one please reply back to me🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you ! ❤
can somebody have tightness in the chest pain in the middle of the chest and worries about heart attack 24/7??
I don’t mean to spam , but i forgot to mention that vitamin b1 (specifically benfotiamine) has been helping me tremendously . Hope it helps anyone out there/ maybe try it out . Bad diet since a kid can contribute to depletion of this vitamin possibly causing a wide variety of symptoms including anxiety attacks
Great advice! ❤😊
I exhausted all laboratory test, whole body MRI, CTscan PET Scan, blood works (literally all kinds), colonoscopy, endoscopy, X-rays, 2d echo, ecg, stress test, holter, ambulatory, I even have my own BP kit, I measure it almost every other hours, I have my sugar glucose monitor kit, oximeter, smart watch, name it, I even had my Gal bladder removed, i demanded mammogram, also Pap test. IntraV ultrasound, name it, I spend sooo much and because our country have zero to non acceptance on mental health few years back, and just recently when I met my Gastro he felt it has something to do with my mental health, till today I’m scared to go to a Psychiatrist because I know that kind of doctor here is still not much of that open on things like this. So here I am still stuck on this cycle. I badly need help. I’m so tired. That sometimes I just want to end things to get over and done with. I need help please help me.
I found you from a show I watched about rare allergies. I have chronic urticaria..same rash, same places, same result when I sweat or in contact with water...I gave up on doctors looking at me like I was crazy... and thought I'd wait to see if I could find someone else like me. Mine started at 15 and never stopped. I guess there are now 31 of us in the world now. They should get us together for research to find out why we have this reaction to possibly find a cure. I dream about taking a bath longer than 20 minutes.
Id love to go back out and do things but I'm to anxious 24/7 and in pain 24/7
Great content were abouts is your practice please?
It’s all online through Zoom 😊
I’m currently having another lapse and finding this has helped.
Do you do online therapy sessions ?
Hi! Please help. I have awful health anxiety after I was diagnosed with PCOS for fertility issues. I am always googling symptoms worrying about my ovaries. I’ve had cysts but they have always went away. I’ve googled ovarian torsion and ovarian cancer and every time I have any bodily sensations I always go straight to that.
I have watched many of your videos because I was told I have health anxiety. After three years of investigations it turns out I actually have a brain cancer that affects me neurologically. It cause seizures, headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, pain... Unfortunately, the brain cancer is uncureable and terminal. Now, I need to find a death/dieing therapist. 😞
This must be really hard. I hope you find peace and comfort.
Hello Cherelle, I am reaching out today out of desperation. I have had anxiety and depression for a long time I’d say 6 years. I have recently quit a long term addiction of adult media content as well. I now don’t have anxiety or panic attacks as bad as I use too. I have chronic insomnia now and it worries me very much because I know I still have health anxiety. I haven’t slept in about 4-5 days at all. I’m hoping you see this message and can give me some advice/hope and share your experience with insomnia. Thank you!
Hello, how is it going? Im currently in a very similar situation
@ it is going much better! It’s all about realizing that worrying about not sleeping that causes you to stay more awake. The moment you give up on trying to sleep you will sleep! I hope things get better for you!
I was recently diagnosed with Heds and I am trying to find ways to get relief and educate myself but it gave me anxiety because the internet seems to automatically go to the worst info for everything I am just gonna keep living and doing what has been getting me through I’m done watching videos or googling anything
I lost my mom 2 months ago because of terminal disease, and my health anxiety is getting worse and worse. I have stomach pain and gut issues, and I think I have stomach cancer. Health anxiety is killing me and makes me suicidal. Therapy didn't work for me. I'm really tired...
Having gut issues with health anxiety is very common. I have that too. Pretty sure you don't have cancer❤
I'm so anxious I refuse to Google
My health anxiety disappeared when I eliminated gluten from my diet. I had health anxiety for my entire life, which comes in episodes, but for the last 2 years, it has been out of control.
Try to do research on the relationship between a gluten-free diet and health anxiety, maybe it will help some of you.
I'm sorry but if you think that gluten is the cause of your anxiety, then you haven't understood any of what these videos are saying. You've just made another false link between two unrelated things, and it will fail for you at some stage (and, be honest, like all the other times you thought you found the answer in something else).
If you're not owning and facing up to the anxiety itself, which is a consequence of overthinking and compulsive unhealthy behaviour; then you will never be free of it.
Worry every day about migraine auras. The more I worry the more I have. Life is awful
I try and carry on normally. But I am still worried
I don’t Google at all, however every day I watch videos based around anxiety, health anxiety, a lot of the time based on my symptoms I’m having at the time. Is this classed as reassurance seeking?
i’d say yes

I am having constant numbness in legs and hands. Basically whenever there's a pressure like while sitting my legs go numb so fast. Anybody else feeling something same ?
Yes I'm having this, it's doing my head in.
@shatteredgaming2378 It's scares the hell out. How are you dealing with it ?
@@shashanksingh1072 just have to keep moving when they go dead, i just make sure I'm lying down watching the TV instead of sitting, arms and legs all even pressure. I have a hot water bottle for my feet as they're freezing with no circulation. It's not as bad tonight, was really bad for about a week, it comes and goes in cycles with other symptoms. Bloody horrible I know not much we can do really. .
@shatteredgaming2378 same. It comes and goes in cycles. I try to look at it as crisis and crisis always end.

Hello, did you ever have brain fog with feelings like there’s a disconnect between my brain and muscle movement? I’ve been suffering from severe health anxiety for lots of years. And now I’m struggling with terrible brain fog feeling of disconnect with brain and muscles ,twitches and fears of neurological disorders.😢
Hi, I've been dealing with dpdr for 6 months aprox and I think I'm doing well, the last month was symptom free. But suddenly something triggered me and I got brain fog again. I'd like to ask if that's normal, because I was really motivated and proud of myself...
Hi. I’ve tried posting twice and each time it’s removed. Is there anyway of contacting you first via email to ask a few questions prior to purchasing a one time session in the first instance?

Does thinking about heart anxiety cause physical symtoms like racing heart and anxiety
Yes. Ofc go to your doctor to make sure. In my experience, my anxiety attack feel like that too!
We are not separate from the universe we are the universe. And so we are just as much for example a tree or a book as we are the body, or everyone else as much as the immediate body. So everyone’s achievements are just as much your achievements: you painted the Mona Lisa, you designed the Sagrada Família, you ran 100m in 9.58 seconds etc. There is no other or external it is all you/ the universe. The universe or existence could also be referred to as God, all there is is God. In the universe being us, or in us being the universe, that could also be said as we are doing this. We are being or doing our entire experience, and furthermore everything that has ever happened or will happen.
It is us which identifies anything being in particular to give it individuality but when we are not doing that and furthermore regardless if we do that there is already everything free from the need for anything in particular to be identified and so everything as a whole or wholeness, absolute freedom (non-duality).

Hey I study medicine and I think I have health anxiety…do you think is something temporary because of what I read? Do you think I have to choose a less stressful specialty ?
I hate that i get skipped heart beats for weeks. Talking 3 to 20 a minute. Drives me nuts and makes me think im dying EVERY TIME!
Is therapy different for somatic symptom anxiety disorder and health anxiety disorder? I don't worry about getting diseases, i have chronic physical symptoms and worry about them and what they are and whether they will ever go away. They are chronic and debilitating 24/7

stop googling, go to your doctor. I did become better when I stop googling, my symptoms subsides a lots because of it
@@redzed9405 do you have health anxiety as well ? What symptoms have you been able to resolve
@@JillPalmer-ek8gn my advice is don't assume the worst will happen to you, just don't because it is ludicrous. You don't stop going outside just because someone might stab you
@@JillPalmer-ek8gn dizziness,depression and tinnitus. I basically cure my dizziness and depression but just top googling. My tinnitus subside quite a bit too. I am not saying it will be easy. The feeling of wanting to google stuff will come with anxiety attack, don't listen to it, you are not harming yourself by not googling. Remember Google just give you informations, it is meaningless without test and tool to diagnose.

Last year i convinced myself i had bone cancer. Right now its headaches. Ive convinced myself of a tumor. Back on meds until my ct scan in 9 days. Wish me luck anxious fam 🫡🫨
I have horrible headaches as well and pain behind the eye. I tried to have a MRI scan two weeks ago and went in the machine twice but the noise was unbearable it was so loud. It was making my headache even worse. There was no way my brain was blocking out the noise. They gave me really crap foam ear plugs which didn’t seem to block out any noise. The scan I was having you can’t have the radio on. The lovely ladies said go and have a CT scan as it isn’t noisy so getting that booked this week once my new letter comes through.
I am just praying that I don’t have to have the dye injected when I have a CT scan. I have heard it’s not good for the body and can cause long term side affects.
Sorry I’m the same if it’s not my head it’s cancer it’s horrible feeling 😢
