  • Your 12 Week Path to True Health Anxiety Recovery Starts Today: theanxietyguy.com/health-anxi...
    If your fixation over your anxiety symptoms is ruining your life, start applying the principles in this anxiety guy video today.
    Anxiety Guy Quote Of The Day: "Every moment of deep fear holds within it the opportunity for deep inner change."
    Understanding: It is the part of you that creates the anxiety symptoms that is also the part that checks in on them. Why? Because whatever emotional state has been the most consistent in a persons life is the one that this ‘lower self’ would have you default to, therefore it’s not the actual fear of the symptom of anxiety but rather the prolonging of health anxiety fear and a fear centered identity that is at play here.
    Responding: You have two choices - To do something in that very moment of health anxiety or not to do something, both are led by the part of you that is separate from the lower self, not the frantic part of you but rather the deeper knowing part of you.
    Do: Hands on heart and verbalize the safe truth behind this very moment.
    Surrender: Let go to the physical sensations that you once frantically looked for answers to.
    Coming through the moment: Slowly and compassionately allow your focus to turn to what’s safely taking place externally in that moment, while allowing the fragments of feared health anxiety to run through your body.
    Begin seeing your higher self as the one in control, the one that is the master of the lower self and not the other way around.
    Like and comment.
    Remember, you are more than anxiety. ❤️

      What if you have something thats happening that may be real but you are too frightened to go to the doctor because it may be life threatening? I know it sounds weird and doesn’t make logical sense but this is what I struggle with. I can’t bring myself to see a doctor for anything because of the fear being too much that I may have a terminal illness. I keep trying and make appointments but I keep canceling because the fear is overwhelming. Am I the only one like this?

    1. Trust that there's a higher power
    2. Respond- choose to do something or do nothing
    3. While afraid, move your focus to the outside world
    4. Begin to believe that your higher self reigns over the lower self
    5. Patience is key to mastering

    Sometimes the feelings are so physical that when the emotion is felt and the symptom is experienced you automatically go to fight or flight. You feel very vulnerable,and all of the physical symptoms are super charged. Under stress these become more prevalent . Slowing it down is the route to go. Accept the symptom but do not become controlled by the symptom.

    - dont react, respond and keep going with my goal of doing better
    - i always have the choice to feel good
    - speak to lower self (reassure it)
    - master lower self, the higher self is the one in control!! (anything that reminds me of anxiety is just trying to pull me back into familiarity)

    For the last 5 weeks I've been dealing with on and off body twitches, tingling, numbness in my arms or legs, and, the weirdest symptom yet, my tongue sometimes feels like an alien thing in my mouth even though my tongue is normal. My anxiety symptoms have changed from heart PVC attacks and thinking I have heart disease, to bad dizziness, tinnitus and thinking I have a brain tumor, to gastrointestinal problems and thinking I have crohns disease, and now to twitching, numbness, tingling, jelly legs and arms. It just keeps changing and boy is it exhausting. I've been trying so hard to accept that I have health anxiety and I am safe. But when I think I'm making progress, I backtrack and get real scared and think how theres no way this is just anxiety causing these symptoms. It's so hard to get myself out of it. Its so true, you have to BELIEVE that you're safe and healthy and accept and trust in yourself. My symptoms last for weeks or months straight and its just awful...I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I bring up changing symptoms to my dr and they just tell me to chill, its just anxiety. They dont explain HOW its just anxiety and if it were "X" disease, here is what would happen. I started on sertraline 50mg 5 weeks ago and it seemed to help a ton in the beginning but I feel like it might be time to up my dose a bit because the fear and thoughts are creeping back in after being so happy for weeks now. I can't find a therapist because nobody is taking new clients.

      @SvrakaMagpie Před měsícem +2

      What helps me is this:
      The reason why you feel these sensations is because your survival-mind and body is reacting to your thoughts. You have the thoughts that something is wrong so your body increases tension and nerves become sensitive in the anticipation that you are or are about to fight something off. It's all psychosomatic, and I notice I don't feel anything at all when I'm busy with something else or distracted.
      I wish you all the best in your journey ❤️‍🩹

The thing that gets me about it being anxiety is that all my aunts have anxiety including my mom. None of them have ever had these symptoms. Like are they just playing us? Is this guy for real, my doctor also calmly smiles and lis like, yeah that's anxiety. I mean I almost believe it, but why do people I know like elders in the family never have these anxiety symptoms... btw B12, B1, low does digestable Iron helped relieve some of my symptoms.

    Health anxiety has plagued me for years. I’m in the middle of an episode now where I can feel something and catastrophize it…constantly focusing on “do I feel it, is it worse, is it gone, did it move?” Etc. This video makes so much sense. I’ve tried focusing on the fact that I’m not in the ultimate control and that God is. It IS very much a control issue at the root. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not alone…the battlefield of the mind is a tough place to fight.

      Thank you Dennis, this video described me exactly. I have experienced a recent heart health issue and the symptoms of palpitations was one of the symptoms I was to watch out for ...so guess who is aware of her heartbeat everything she moves. I have been absolutely terrified😢. I asked myself what was I terrified of ??death or actually dying not in a "state of grace"...a very strong indoctrination from a very rabid Roman Catholic background which I believed I had moved on from. I am endeavouring to stop trying to "know" what's True and develop my own spirituality more.
      I am trying to see this as an opportunity to let go and Trust, instead of constantly trying to keep myself Safe.
      I found this video very helpful and will indeed watch more.

    I'm a highly sensitive person. I feel every nuance in my entire body. Even if I'm as calm as a cucumber, this occurs. So the big moment for me was hearing you share how you spent your day focusing on all the little differences in your body and then looking for a solution or answer to it. I still notice everything, I just will, BUT I am going to choose to leave what I sense ALONE I think I'll just acknowledge "I see you lower self" then remove my focus- send it elsewhere.

So odd, I sit down to eat and instantly the symptoms start, so I’m always afraid of lunch or dinner time now! I had EKG done, X-rays of my heart and lungs, blood work and everything was fine…they told me I’m having panic attacks.

    Had anxiety as a child, took medication and they helped but I got tired of that robotic feeling. Now as and adult I have stresses or course, as all of us do. But I had a panic attack out of nowhere that has since lead to multiple panic attacks happening. This has easily been the most insightful video I’ve seen so far. I’m hoping to be able to break this cycle of constantly checking to see if my symptoms (that aren’t really there) are still present. Constantly checking pulse and the sensation of heart palpitations which instantly spark that fight or flight mode. Thank you for this video, and for being a guiding light through what seems like a never ending darkness❤

    Dennis - I can't even tell you how much this resonated with me today. I hung on your every word. The word that really hit me hard was "control." Yes. Yes. Yes. That is me. So much anxiety in me comes from wanting to control what others in my family are doing that I think is potentially harmful or just a bad idea...and my mind heads straight into major anxiety 24/7 because I can't control anything. This is resulting in major health symptoms that scare me even more. Except you said I can control myself. You've taught me that starting today, I can control my lower self. I can. Between my faith in God (who led me to you) and your teachings, I am going to start living a better life today. I know it takes time, but it starts today. Dennis, thank you SO much!

    “Impatience is a tool your lower self uses to bring you back into an anxiety identity” Wow. 👏🏼 That is incredible for so many reasons. The main reason for me is because the main drive of my anxiety is “how long will this last”? “Will I be stuck like this until I die” ? “How many days/weeks/months/years do I have to endure this” and THAT is what is keeping my anxiety alive. If I just understand that my mind is trying to manipulate me with those messages, it makes it’s so much easier to identify when it’s happening and I can just go, “Maybe, maybe not, who knows 😊” and let myself feel the those uncomfortable feelings without panicking. Just like “yup it is what it is” and let myself flow through it. Eventually my nervous system and subconscious should understand NOTHING is going to happen to me and even though it feels like I’m supposed to “fix” something. You earned a sub from me man, we’re going to make it.

I always blamed the outer world for it because no matter how hard I tried, results didn't show up and everybody around me were always dissatisfied in me and still are but the truth is did i forgive myself? Did I really let go? It's hard to always do that when there is that nagging question "For how long" anxiety has every way of convincing you so that you give in to the illusion that things are happening to you and not for you! It's easy to speak objectively but when the moment strikes...the bodily sensations and all of it is really automatic. But I do trust my higher self and I know that this is only my inner child and I don't have to give in to the fear that lurks around me 24/7. This is an ongoing journey and a beautiful process and I have to believe in this no matter how suffocating it sounds to the voice in the head looking for quick fixes.

    I've dealt with health anxiety for 20 years. I was living and thriving with it until the pandemic. What's could be worse for a person with health anxiety than a global pandemic with a virus that's super contagious, deadly, and disabling? So the past 2 years have been a struggle and I do have a therapist and I work at it. However, this video hit home for me. It makes me feel so hopeful so thank you for that. It's a like and a subscribe for me today!

    i’ve watched this video several times, and this time, something really clicked. realizing that it’s not really about my health, it’s about being in control, and learning to accept that i do not always need to be control is a real game changer. crying tears of relief, feeling my body finally starting to let go of the hell i’ve put myself through for the past two years. thank you for this
    edit: i urge all of you experiencing this to speak with a therapist ❤️‍🩹 i was recently diagnosed with OCD, and have been learning so much about how my brain works and why this “health anxiety” wasn’t going away. CBT therapy and working through anxious thoughts doesn’t work the same when you have OCD, and learning how to navigate this has been life changing

    When your anxiety symptoms have completely taken over your mind and body and it’s so unbearable that you can’t function anymore, you can’t just ignore it. I spend time doing meditation and deep breathing through my nose to help my body learn to relax and be calm. I just can’t see any other way to do it. I still haven’t overcome my anxiety disorder yet where I can manage it well enough to recover. I hope that before I leave this earth due to old age, that I gain personal control over this condition, that successful moment. That trust that I can do this.

I associate every uncomfortable sensation with anxiety , a potential panic attack. Even when I am not feeling anxious , the minute my mind is free , I automatically start checking for symptoms of anxiety ! I have never considered it to be a ' fixation '. and it makes total sense .

    @michelschaank Před 9 měsíci +1

    The lower part, or what you call the inner child, keeps you obsessively trapped in anxious thoughts through rumination or physical symptoms to prevent you from escaping the self-created prison. A prison of which the inner child believes to be the only safe place. This reminds me of Dr. Sarno, who says that the subconscious deploys physical pain to avoid "forbidden" emotions, as these emotions once caused insecurity during childhood.
    We step out of this prison with confidence, addressing our inner child, our lower self, from the heart, assuring that we are safe. Instead of repeatedly checking if it's already safe and if the symptoms are gone, we physically move outward, towards life. Our senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste - guide us to a world of creativity and unconditional love. We embark on the journey and continue to speak to that inner child from our heart.
    Thanks 😊
