I have 99% recovered from Anxiety, never thought I’d be able to say this. If it was not for Cherelle, and one day stumbling upon her channel, don’t know where I’d be. It helps so freakin much when there are people out there that have been through it! I will recommend this channel to any and everyone who is going through this! Thank you 🙏
@@cherellethinkscan u pls help ... i had appointment with nuero dr he says its either eyes issue or anxiety ...actually i feel shaky vision ..like things are vibrating slightly..make me super anxious ..n nowadays i feel light sensitivity.. can u tell is it only anxiety...pls help sis🙏
I have been dealing with being bedridden and dizzy for over a year now. I am so tired of this and the health anxiety that I have developed from this. I have been so miserable and tensed up. I am ready for freedom!! Thank you 🙏
I was never like this until i had kids. My mortality and the thought Of not being there for them has made me spiral inwardly quite a few times. I’m tired of it and this channel is my first step
I had never even understood health anxiety prior to finding out I was going to be a dad and now 4 months in to my partners pregnancy I am viciously suffering from it. I’ve spent weeks convinced I had a brain tumour and I am now in early days of being convinced I have ALS since I’ve noticed a twitching/spasm in my right index finger. The thought of being deprived of being a father really sends me over the edge.
I have just had my ‘moment’ after 18 months of being on one 24/7. Work on yourself is the best advice, and things will calm down and your body will listen. Cherelle you have been the best thing to happen to me, since this all started. The advice you give is sensitive, very informative and straight common sense. I am so appreciative of coming across your channel.
Is it better now? I feel the same way rn. My right eye just feels weird and I have currently diagnosed myself with macular degeneration. Last week it was glaucoma.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I needed this. Last 3 months of my life have been hell, after losing 2 family members I've had severe health anxiety where I've been convinced I have one of 3 different cancers at least and it is a living hell.
I have found out that you can always tell the diffrence between anxiety and an illness with my self i could lets say feel very breathless that wont go away when im lets say go on a walk in the woods and i notice when im on my way home it dies down and slowly dissapears thats how i tell the diffrence
Thank you. I’ve been driving my wife absolutely insane lately worrying so much about my heart. Never ever had an issue before just so happened that during the most stressful time of our lives all of a sudden I start having heart attack symptoms got checked out and was cleared well now I’m worried about my aorta lol I gave myself gerd out of stress. That one is legit tho. Trying so hard to dig myself out of this. This was helpful very helpful.
My anxiety makes me feel lightheaded and woozy 😵💫 I really hate that feeling and I’m always thinking that there is something wrong with me and when I forget about my anxiety my lightheartedness goes away and then when I think about it the wooziness comes back
Such straightforward, wise, advice Cherelle! Thank you. I had a brain scan 18 months ago as I have balance problems, nausea, dizziness, jelly legs following lots of family problems. It was all clear but I am still worried that a tumour is lurking somewhere! I keep telling myself that I'm still here and functioning, so it must be anxiety! The problem is that 3 friends have died of brain tumours in the past few years... So now I will just sit with the symptoms and get back to being the person I used to be!
Ooh my god, I had the same problem, having dizziness and I’m scared it’s related to my brain but I do not know what happened and I do not know is there really any dizziness or because of my anxiety that cause me feel I have dizziness
I love your videos. They really help my health anxiety. My mom got sick when I was 12 and ever since I always feel anxiety over any little health thing. I'm 57 yrs old and so tired of living like this. Thanks again for all you do.
Can I know how to overcome health anxiety, I’m in this rabbit hole and it makes me so tired and difficult to get out, do you have any remedy or help you can suggest
Hi Cherelle, just want to say thanks for the videos, they’re always really helpful for me. I finally decided to get therapy this year and it’s very valuable. One thing we’ve unpicked is that I fundamentally distrust my body. I do not trust that my body will not screw me over. It’s almost like I’m waiting for my body to ruin the life I’ve built. I am trying to sit with uncertainty more. But another thing is healing my relationship with my body and somehow, trying to work to trust it again. My therapist did note that I feel very separate from my body, I talk about it like it’s a car that I’m driving which is true, I wondered if that would resonate with your audience too. Many best wishes x
I totally relate to this. I didn't realize this. Omg mind blown today. Been going through anxiety on and off for 10 years but this year was really hard. Distrusting my body is exactly what I go through. I feel like everyday it's turning against me.
thank you love :) these videos are really helpful. I was in a really awful place last week, hospitilized for hypochondria. you've honestly been so helpful and comforting and all i just have to say thank you.
I don't know about others, but caffeine spikes my anxiety big time. I've had to cut out coffee, otherwise it was like adding gasoline to the fire. I'm better off doing mindfulness exercises after a cold shower in the morning, I use a small book called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels, has quick mindfulness meditation lessons.
Same here! I stopped consuming caffeine daily and now if I do have it I’ll limit it to 80mg if I’m feeling mentally okay and I’ve felt so much better. Now I’ve just had Covid and my anxiety is back 🙄
@@emms_h 80 mgs is still a lot, dont you think so? I struggle with 32 mgs. maybe reduce the intake or drink some with milk, like a latte. that doesnt trigger my anxiety
I've watched about a dozen of your videos so far and oh my how many of the things you articulate hit the point for me. I've had OCD/anxiety for 18 years, in therapy for a little over a year, lost it completely and realised I need help after having my second child. Currently my disorder is almost entirely centered around health anxiety and it's so exhausting. Doing my best, hoping for the best. Your channel is so helpful
This is such a great point! Right now I'm trying to implement this in my daily life and while I'm not always successful, I'm getting better and better at it and every time when I don't give in my compluslions it's such a big victory for me. Also I wish you fast recovery!
Thankyou for this video you've know idea how much I needed to hear this I have no desire or confidence in taking any medicine to help with health anxiety so I know I'm "normal" and not alone and I'll begin to allow myself time to heal. Thank you so so much xx
I know you are so busy, im a firefighter in North Wales struggling so much with health anxiety, considering paying for one of your courses. I have had a similar situation with you in terms of medical professionals finding a tiny benign cyst on an MRI a while ago that is essentially the route of my health anxiety. Even though more recenlty I have had confirnation from a nuerologist that this is not the cause of my symptoms. I have also sought reassurance from a cardiologist for my heart. I have had a number of blood tests so far normal. So basically, i have been off work for nearly 2 months, and affer 6 months, my pay will be effected. But symptoms i have been getting are crazy. The panic attacks truly do feel like i might die which just makes it worse. I end up googling every symptom trying to draw conclusions to all sorts of wonderful diseases and conditions. My latest one was lymphoma from a swollen gland under my armpit 😅 which has now pretty much gone. I feel so silly, i just want to be the person i was before all this. I want to get back on the fire engines.
See I have health anxiety however I also have a fear of doctors -so I avoid the doctor’s 😂 I think I have all of the diseases and am too paralysed with fear about going and getting tested -and hearing the bad news . Working with therapist currently to overcome this though :/
I’ve had a tension headache for over 5 months straight. I also get an achy feeling on the right top side of my head and pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear. I’ve had 3 brain scans but can’t seem to get past feeling like something serious is wrong. It’s so frustrating
@@clarissa1682 so what did they say? How do you get rid of them? Retrain your brain I suppose. If it was tumour you would know about it and that’s what I keep telling myself.
@@xbecxxx I’m supposed to start physical therapy and my insurance is also going to cover massage therapy and acupuncture. I’m very grateful for that. They aren’t doing anything else though, my doctor doesn’t want to do further testing because she said if there was something they would have seen it by now
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the content and also if perhaps youd be able to do a video on health anxiety and how to handle it when you work in a work envirement where your job is being a care taker. Im constantly surrounded by illness and death. I love my job but it triggers me a lot. Also in my personal life as well i find a lot of my close friends and family are being diagnosed with serious illness or have passed away recently. Im trying to heal myself but its hard when all around me is sadness 😔 It makes it hard not to worry all the time.
This was the one question nobody could answer for me over the 26 years I struggled with this barbaric condition. It caused devastation and catastrophic implications. There was only one man who approached it from a very unconventional route and changed my life. I owe him everything!
I have nausea and weak shaky legs. Dizziness sometimes. But when I am preoccupied I don’t notice it. Until I look for it and then notice it again. It sucks because it makes me scared to go out anywhere and to find a new job. How do I stop concentrating so much on the symptoms?
This is what I'm currently going through and have myself convinced its ALS. To preface this, it's been about 3 months of complete fight or flight anxiety due to GI issues which resulted in a gallbladder removal surgery. I'm 3 weeks post-op and the dizziness, "weak" arms and legs and some vision stuff has popped up. After finding this channel, I'm thinking it's just that my nervous system is completely shot. I hope yours has resolved and it's nice to know we aren't alone in all of this suffering. Lots of love!
I had horrifying ectopic beats - very strong and a lot of them - up to 30-40 per day.... I had gone to various doctors and I did not know what else I can do honestly, I was going through some extremely stressful period at work. Once I quit my job, it is hard to believe, but the ectopics completely disappeared within 2-3 days. I was so convinced that there was something very serious with my heart but it turns out work anxiety and stress can cause a whole lot of damage.
Take magnesium glycinate. 400-1000 mg ea day. Use some L Taurine. Pvcs Pacs are almost always driven by fear stress anxiety. You all are low in mag I guarantee it
so i have gotten by the point of checking symptoms and going to the doctor BUT i cant shake the anxiety of dreed, that symptoms will never go away. its almost worse because know i have no outlet (like going to doctor or googling a cure)
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU VERY KIND PERSON..IM YEARS IN TO THIS CONDITION KNOW AND ITS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD CLOTS AND DAMAGED ORGANS BUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS IM MAKING IT ALL WORSE..THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY CLEVER CLEVER ADVICE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going through this now I had 2 health scares i got lucky where it wasn’t bad but I’m so screwed up with health anxiety im having all these feelings I’ve never felt before the old me is gone I don’t know who I am anymore I used to be larger than life now I’m nothing I’m dead inside
Health Anxiety came for me about a year ago. I was debilitated and obsessed with needing confirmation. Specifically, i had 2 episodes of anxiety over a pregnancy scare and then months later thinking I had tetanus.... Unfortunately, last fall I started having symptoms of MS and have been on the diagnosis limbo land for the past 7 months. What started as anxiety turned into actually probably having it...based on my MRIs and symptoms. All this to say is that...my usual need for confirmation when I have an episode hasn't had a chance to quit bc I'm still seeing doctors and getting tests and thus still in fight or flight all this time....
We have very little patience with our impulse - that's so true. When I'm showering, suddenly a thought comes into my head, and I need to get out of the shower right away, with shampoo still in my hair, I need to get on my phone and search it.
Yeah but the heart palpitations and chest pain or headaches don’t bother me. I realize that’s from anxiety, it’s the fact my skin etc actually gets super irritated in the area I hold trauma in. Seen lots of doctors. I just don’t relate to the oh my belly hurts lkke of course it’s anxiety it’s like the fact my skin genuinely gets so irritated when I’m triggered in this area of my body and it looks and feels real
Everytime i open my eyes firstly in the morning my eyes are not focusing for one sec and im kinda lightheaded and sometimes also my eyes are blurry anyone feeling this too?
thank you i always feel am getting a heart attack or my adrenaline goes up making me think am gona die then out of no were i feel fine. i hate this feeling. subzero showers have helped me alot. i take walks shirtless with shorts and walk in the snow at 15degress. i also suffer from migranes. i never take medication am against vacines and over the counter drugs. am a bodybuilder organic each arms i lift 80s curling 280pounds 10eggs a day super healthy but man anxiety sucks.
Hi cherelle videos are great btw, so iv been having mild headaches last few weeks then i went on the xmas hols for 2 weeks, of course starting googling brain tumours, low and behold my eyesight feels funny legs are tired and dizzy! Ended up in A and E they said blood pressure is high and my anxiety is making me worse!f Feels like a visious circle
I have a question about whether some checks can be helpful. I used to call for an ambulance due to difficulty breathing but after I got a small pulse-oximeter I pop that on my finger right away if I am having difficulty and I am able to stop the spiral into total panic attack because I can see objectively that I am getting adequate oxygen and it is OK to continue my specialized breathing techniques to remain calm and catch my breath. Without it, I may manage to calm down for 30 seconds but then I ramp right back up into full-blown panic attack. This cycle continues unless I get some sort of intervention (ambulance, panic attack meds, etc).
Fatigue can be a sympton of cancer as well as anxiety. I am been suffering from persistent fatigue for 1 year now. Doctors have attributed to anxiety based on "in range" labs. How to distinguish between cancer fatigue and anxiety fatigue
same, I feel concerned as its not just one part that is twitching. this comes and goes, you are not alone. I also had these "headaches" which I can't describe with any adjective, I do not even notice them if Im busy.
I got fear of hiv ,got tested negative but fear of hiv is there and symtoms are coming,never got any issue before this in my life but now getting rashes and problems in my body
if the lymph nodes feel rubbery and they move under the skin when you press them, its most likely nothing as cancerous lymph nodes tend to be hard. like bone hard. I am not a doctor I just had the same problem as you.
I agree with everything you've said in this video. I am new to your channel. I watched some of your other videos and you mentioned that you have read many self-help books and changed your diet and exercise, and that you do yoga, but you mentioned you surrendered yourself over to these thoughts. I will say that's great that you've changed some things in your life and that you feel better, but have you surrendered to Jesus? I know it may sound weird or funny, but He is the way, the truth and the life. I know anxiety because I have it. But I know that without Jesus, I can do nothing. Everything we do here is spiritual, including yoga. I just want to say I am not bashing you or anyone here in any way. But be mindful of the things you do/practice. What we do here on earth can open doorways to demons to come in us. Sin is ugly and God hates sin. He does not hate us though, for when He sent His son to die for us on the cross, we are pardoned for our sins through Jesus' blood and given the opportunity to live forever in His heavenly kingdom. We must believe in Jesus and what He did for us, but also to put faith in Him. He died a horrendous death. If you feel any conviction of something you are doing, that's the Holy Spirit tugging at you. I will pray for you and hope that you are getting better. Also, I am not religious at all. It's about a relationship with Jesus ✝🙏 I'm just a nobody getting on here and sharing what I know to you and everyone here. Let me just say this: We put faith in other people, doctors, lawyers, retail workers, even our families, husband/wife because we expect them to know what to do and what to say. But what happens when they don't? What happens when they let us down? We get upset and then we realize that we can't trust them 100% of the time. Only Jesus can we trust because He is the same yesterday, today and forever, amen. People are put here to perform specific tasks, this I understand, but I implore you to surrender to Jesus. I love you and everyone here, and may the Lord bless you and everyone. Take care ☺
@@Truerealism747 so my symptoms consist of muscle twitching, tight chest, tension headache, blurry vision, tight jaw, fatigue and occasional leg pain (small aches). I also have tooth sensitivity every now and then but I do know I need a couple fillings. Some of these symptoms however may be due to my bulged discs in my neck and in my lumbar spine, as my physiotherapist has stated ie eye blur, leg pain, tension headache possibly even twitching. I’ve always had anxiety and had a lot of panic attacks over the last year. I am probably more so afraid of the idea of it rather than actually having it. I should exercise more. Not very mobile.

I wasnt even in a state of panic, this morning woke up feeling shitty and hungover with this headache like I had a lot to drink and I didnt drink anything...spent the day feeling lethargic and depleted 😢
... and then immediately comes the thought that in MY case it is certainly a lot more than those 0.1%. I'm so fed up with this crap and I will not listen to my damn brain any longer, talks nothing but shit. And even IF there is sth wrong with my body, there is zero chance I can get better with this constant fear. This is pure self sabotage, and I'm fully aware, and then my heart skips a beat and the fear is right back on again. I hate my body, or my mind, or both.
Praying for all who are suffering from anxiety 🙏
Please keep praying for us

Im trying to heal myself but its hard when all around me is sadness 😔 It makes it hard not to worry all the time.
This was the one question nobody could answer for me over the 26 years I struggled with this barbaric condition. It caused devastation and catastrophic implications. There was only one man who approached it from a very unconventional route and changed my life. I owe him everything!
Thank you for your content! I really relate a lot, and thank you for your tips too! By the way, you are very beautiful!
I have nausea and weak shaky legs. Dizziness sometimes. But when I am preoccupied I don’t notice it. Until I look for it and then notice it again. It sucks because it makes me scared to go out anywhere and to find a new job. How do I stop concentrating so much on the symptoms?
We just have to stay busy
This is what I'm currently going through and have myself convinced its ALS. To preface this, it's been about 3 months of complete fight or flight anxiety due to GI issues which resulted in a gallbladder removal surgery. I'm 3 weeks post-op and the dizziness, "weak" arms and legs and some vision stuff has popped up. After finding this channel, I'm thinking it's just that my nervous system is completely shot. I hope yours has resolved and it's nice to know we aren't alone in all of this suffering. Lots of love!
Love your 'rambly thoughts' you are a calming force. Thank you!!
I had horrifying ectopic beats - very strong and a lot of them - up to 30-40 per day.... I had gone to various doctors and I did not know what else I can do honestly, I was going through some extremely stressful period at work. Once I quit my job, it is hard to believe, but the ectopics completely disappeared within 2-3 days. I was so convinced that there was something very serious with my heart but it turns out work anxiety and stress can cause a whole lot of damage.
I wish I had 30-40 per day. I have about 2000 per day!
Sorry to hear that :( Do you feel all of them?
Been there - I’m on a BP med now and Metoprolol and they are gone 🤎 hugs, I know how much it robs your life
Take magnesium glycinate. 400-1000 mg ea day. Use some L Taurine. Pvcs Pacs are almost always driven by fear stress anxiety. You all are low in mag I guarantee it
Hi Cherelle, thank you for sharing your story and tips. I’m on my recovery journey. You’ve been very helpful.
so i have gotten by the point of checking symptoms and going to the doctor BUT i cant shake the anxiety of dreed, that symptoms will never go away. its almost worse because know i have no outlet (like going to doctor or googling a cure)
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU VERY KIND PERSON..IM YEARS IN TO THIS CONDITION KNOW AND ITS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD CLOTS AND DAMAGED ORGANS BUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS IM MAKING IT ALL WORSE..THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY CLEVER CLEVER ADVICE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going through this now I had 2 health scares i got lucky where it wasn’t bad but I’m so screwed up with health anxiety im having all these feelings I’ve never felt before the old me is gone I don’t know who I am anymore I used to be larger than life now I’m nothing I’m dead inside
I’ve been just recently thinking about this exact question a lot, thanks for sharing Cherelle, your videos are really helpful 🩷
Thank you so much! ❤
Health Anxiety came for me about a year ago. I was debilitated and obsessed with needing confirmation. Specifically, i had 2 episodes of anxiety over a pregnancy scare and then months later thinking I had tetanus.... Unfortunately, last fall I started having symptoms of MS and have been on the diagnosis limbo land for the past 7 months. What started as anxiety turned into actually probably having it...based on my MRIs and symptoms. All this to say is that...my usual need for confirmation when I have an episode hasn't had a chance to quit bc I'm still seeing doctors and getting tests and thus still in fight or flight all this time....
Brilliant. Thank you so much.. I was looking for this type of video after I asked on the other. Subscribing.
You've explained this beautifully xx
Thank you for this video Cherelle!!
We have very little patience with our impulse - that's so true. When I'm showering, suddenly a thought comes into my head, and I need to get out of the shower right away, with shampoo still in my hair, I need to get on my phone and search it.
Hi I've had weird symptoms of health anxiety. Jelly legs , panic attacks and anxiety fatigue. Good advise from cherelle. Will take on board
AMEN! How you described everything is 100%
I keep checking small lymph nodes in my gums.. i cant stop..i fear every lymph nodes can turb into lump
Im going crazy
Yeah but the heart palpitations and chest pain or headaches don’t bother me. I realize that’s from anxiety, it’s the fact my skin etc actually gets super irritated in the area I hold trauma in. Seen lots of doctors. I just don’t relate to the oh my belly hurts lkke of course it’s anxiety it’s like the fact my skin genuinely gets so irritated when I’m triggered in this area of my body and it looks and feels real
Thank you, Cherelle.
You are beautiful, thank you so much for your words 🩷
Everytime i open my eyes firstly in the morning my eyes are not focusing for one sec and im kinda lightheaded and sometimes also my eyes are blurry anyone feeling this too?
thank you i always feel am getting a heart attack or my adrenaline goes up making me think am gona die then out of no were i feel fine. i hate this feeling. subzero showers have helped me alot. i take walks shirtless with shorts and walk in the snow at 15degress. i also suffer from migranes. i never take medication am against vacines and over the counter drugs. am a bodybuilder organic each arms i lift 80s curling 280pounds 10eggs a day super healthy but man anxiety sucks.
Well no there’s a way you can tell if you have trauma in that area and something triggers you and the symptoms arise
Hi cherelle videos are great btw, so iv been having mild headaches last few weeks then i went on the xmas hols for 2 weeks, of course starting googling brain tumours, low and behold my eyesight feels funny legs are tired and dizzy! Ended up in A and E they said blood pressure is high and my anxiety is making me worse!f Feels like a visious circle
I have a question about whether some checks can be helpful. I used to call for an ambulance due to difficulty breathing but after I got a small pulse-oximeter I pop that on my finger right away if I am having difficulty and I am able to stop the spiral into total panic attack because I can see objectively that I am getting adequate oxygen and it is OK to continue my specialized breathing techniques to remain calm and catch my breath. Without it, I may manage to calm down for 30 seconds but then I ramp right back up into full-blown panic attack. This cycle continues unless I get some sort of intervention (ambulance, panic attack meds, etc).
Fatigue can be a sympton of cancer as well as anxiety. I am been suffering from persistent fatigue for 1 year now. Doctors have attributed to anxiety based on "in range" labs. How to distinguish between cancer fatigue and anxiety fatigue
Literally laying here… twitching all over.. been twitching since September 5th
same, I feel concerned as its not just one part that is twitching. this comes and goes, you are not alone.
I also had these "headaches" which I can't describe with any adjective, I do not even notice them if Im busy.
I got fear of hiv ,got tested negative but fear of hiv is there and symtoms are coming,never got any issue before this in my life but now getting rashes and problems in my body
I am having chest pain
Swollen lymph node
Fear of lymphoma😢
if the lymph nodes feel rubbery and they move under the skin when you press them, its most likely nothing as cancerous lymph nodes tend to be hard. like bone hard. I am not a doctor I just had the same problem as you.
Going through the exact same thing. I am always touching them and I am obsessed with them.
What advice would you give a young breast cancer survivor? I was a hypochondriac prior to cancer. Now I’m in turmoil
I gag when u eat food it's ruining my life, doctor thinks it could be anxiety (there is always something wrong with me) my family knows this
I’ve been there too. It is anxiety.
My health anxiety is based around my genitals due to trauma, fun stuff
❤❤❤ nice video girl 💋
So just don’t google and don’t give into the systems is the answer to heal this??
thank you for this
Have you been diagnosed with disautonomia (sp)? Struggling with so many sxs whilst tapering off of clonazepam and HA is ramping up. Ugh.
I have little health my anxiety myself but regarding my son it s a bit over the top…is there an explanation for this?
could it take a symptom over a year to go away as that has been a concern of mine
I agree with everything you've said in this video. I am new to your channel. I watched some of your other videos and you mentioned that you have read many self-help books and changed your diet and exercise, and that you do yoga, but you mentioned you surrendered yourself over to these thoughts. I will say that's great that you've changed some things in your life and that you feel better, but have you surrendered to Jesus? I know it may sound weird or funny, but He is the way, the truth and the life. I know anxiety because I have it. But I know that without Jesus, I can do nothing. Everything we do here is spiritual, including yoga. I just want to say I am not bashing you or anyone here in any way. But be mindful of the things you do/practice. What we do here on earth can open doorways to demons to come in us. Sin is ugly and God hates sin. He does not hate us though, for when He sent His son to die for us on the cross, we are pardoned for our sins through Jesus' blood and given the opportunity to live forever in His heavenly kingdom. We must believe in Jesus and what He did for us, but also to put faith in Him. He died a horrendous death. If you feel any conviction of something you are doing, that's the Holy Spirit tugging at you. I will pray for you and hope that you are getting better. Also, I am not religious at all. It's about a relationship with Jesus ✝🙏 I'm just a nobody getting on here and sharing what I know to you and everyone here. Let me just say this: We put faith in other people, doctors, lawyers, retail workers, even our families, husband/wife because we expect them to know what to do and what to say. But what happens when they don't? What happens when they let us down? We get upset and then we realize that we can't trust them 100% of the time. Only Jesus can we trust because He is the same yesterday, today and forever, amen. People are put here to perform specific tasks, this I understand, but I implore you to surrender to Jesus. I love you and everyone here, and may the Lord bless you and everyone. Take care ☺
Me, white knuckling it through two weeks.
I’m so worried I have Fibro. How did you determine that you didn’t? Can you touch on this 😢
I have fybromyalgia what are your symptoms are you hypermobile but alot say fybromyalgia is constant subconscious anxiety aka tms
@@Truerealism747 so my symptoms consist of muscle twitching, tight chest, tension headache, blurry vision, tight jaw, fatigue and occasional leg pain (small aches). I also have tooth sensitivity every now and then but I do know I need a couple fillings. Some of these symptoms however may be due to my bulged discs in my neck and in my lumbar spine, as my physiotherapist has stated ie eye blur, leg pain, tension headache possibly even twitching. I’ve always had anxiety and had a lot of panic attacks over the last year. I am probably more so afraid of the idea of it rather than actually having it. I should exercise more. Not very mobile.
@@tlinn8524 are you hypermobile ? Sounds lot like me chronic upper body pain everyday pelvic PA n 26 years heal pain some symptoms have changed.acording to Dr schubiner tms bulging discs don't cause.oain.there a incendental finding he has them.himself and we all do by age 50.

This is me literally
DOES ANYONE HERE SUFFER FRKM SKIN STUFF FROM EXTEEMW ANXIETY
I wasnt even in a state of panic, this morning woke up feeling shitty and hungover with this headache like I had a lot to drink and I didnt drink anything...spent the day feeling lethargic and depleted 😢
Are you taking on new clients?
... and then immediately comes the thought that in MY case it is certainly a lot more than those 0.1%. I'm so fed up with this crap and I will not listen to my damn brain any longer, talks nothing but shit. And even IF there is sth wrong with my body, there is zero chance I can get better with this constant fear. This is pure self sabotage, and I'm fully aware, and then my heart skips a beat and the fear is right back on again. I hate my body, or my mind, or both.
