Key Video Notes Below:
My biggest health anxiety recovery realization: I was stuck in the cycle of preventing the worst from happening no matter what aspect of my life it was (which eventually turned into looking to prevent disease through health anxiety). I gathered the health anxiety motivation I needed when I began to focus more on creating the kind of future experiences I wanted, rather than looking to prevent the worst from happening.
- Most health anxiety sufferers would rather hold onto the state they’re already in rather than risk it for a different path that may lead to a worsening state.
- Most health anxiety sufferers have become comfortable in fear, doubt, and low self esteem and have consciously and unconsciously connected it to who they are (identity).
- Most health anxiety sufferers never wholeheartedly commit to healing because of what others may think of their new identity (being ostracized would equal death).
Question 1: Why do you obsess over your health?
Question 2: Why are you so afraid of X...
Question 3: What experience contributed to
you becoming afraid of X?
1. To stop obsessing over your health and creating health anxiety motivation you must become emotionally neutral toward the very thing you look to fight and run from.
2. To stop obsessing you must see beyond yourself and this physical body.
3. To stop obsessing over your health you must give yourself permission to learn from what habits don’t work. Bringing to your awareness what doesn’t work paves the way for the information that will work.
Key health anxiety motivation quote: Your body will hold onto the emotions and experiences until a time it feels like you can consciously take charge and resolve them.

Me panicking at 2am in the morning bc i feel an off and on cramp or ache in my right ribs area thinking the burger king food i had earlier prob got a worm in it and the worm is crawling in my ribs? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i just want to fall asleep and be at peace... i hate health anxiety so much....
Who else here has heart phobia ( fear of heart attack ) or collapsing suddenly?
Urgh feels exhausting.
I do
I do
All the time I get a slight pain in my heart an/or other organs an I instantly think what if im dying an im ignoring this feeling in my body😪
I do
Yes whenever I feel my heart beating at all I just get so anxious
Health anxiety is such a hard struggle. The cycle is 1. Uncomfortable feeling. 2. Catastrophic thoughts. 3. Physical symptoms of anxiety kick in and make it worse. 4. Feeling silly after you’ve calmed down somewhat. 5. Back to step 1. My goals are to stop having to take medications as well as being able to live my life!
So true. It is the hardest thing to control intrusive thoughts and calm down yourself when having physcial symptoms.
Fr steuggle with this sice 15 y/o im 21 now…
Trueee
THIS! It’s not just anxiety but like a “kick” that starts the dominos. Such an awful feeling. For me it’s palpitations but god is it scary.
I'm in this exact same boat right now, been like this for 4 weeks now. started as 1. Uncomfortable feeling, now at physical symptoms. It really sucks.
All comes down to one thing. Fear of Death. Which is really a hard thing to let go but we health anxiety sufferers must program our subconscious mind to believe that we should not fear things that is not happening yet. focus on the present moment and try not to control things we can’t control. I’m not yet 100% anxiety free but I’m on the path to recovery and realized that anxiety is a friend that will strengthen our minds. Let’s all overcome this!
Hello Char, I have a severe case with the fear of death and I cant take it anymore. Lately for about 5 days now my chest has been hurting and im scared its going to be a heart attack that happens. I constantly live in fear . I need help.
@@terminator04201989 have you consulted a doctor? Try that first and if the results came out fine then that’s the time you have to start making changes in your thought patterns.
@@CharLessMajor7Music ive went to the doctors countless times for this Im just gonna ride the wave
@@terminator04201989 I suggest you start listening to what your body is trying to tell you. Sometimes these pains are telling us something and for my case it was my thought patterns that knock my body and mind out of balance. I can’t say my experience also applies to your case. But if you’re interested I can suggest you people to listen to.
@@CharLessMajor7Music sure. Who are they
Is anyone else here because every time a pain or something happens in your body you think your gonna die and for me it’s scaring me I’m a healthy person I don’t live an unhealthy life I’m not at a risk of anything and yet I can’t stop worrying that I’m gonna die
Same :(
@Tara King , that is such a wise comment and would love to feel that way. Any pains or unusual body symptoms sends me on a downward spiral.
I am afraid to die from allergies((( I recently started having allergies, even a year ago I did not have them. So now, if I smell smth, i think my throat will close and I will die from anaphylaxis. Also, everytime I feel pain i my body, I think that this is smth very bad and I will die
I am the same! Only started 6 months ago after my mum died suddenly 😔
@@mrssarahpenmy grandmas death started mine too. It’s been two years and I still get bad anxiety periodically!
This all rings so true to me! However, when I ask myself the question, "Why am I afraid?" I can't find the answer. Even the question itself triggers my fear.
This is so true. I read a horoscope a couple weeks ago that said I could be more sensitive to chemicals and radiation. It probably seems ridiculous to other people, but for an anxiety sufferer like me, it was just enough to make me spiral. had to get a PET scan and I’m so afraid of having been exposed to that radiation that I feel like I have to check my body constantly for any sign of cancer that the radiation might have caused. It feels like I can’t relax or let it go because I’m scared that I’ll develop cancer and ignore the symptoms and let it get out of hand. I don’t like to talk to people about it because I know how ridiculous it is to believe a horoscope, but it’s been on my mind so much that it’s become absolute truth to me in my mind. Of course I don’t want to live this way, but the anxiety is almost like a blanket of protection that’s protecting me from the unknown. I’m so tired of feeling this way, I’m only 23 and I feel like I’m wasting my youth worrying about something that isn’t true. Sorry for the long comment, it just feels good venting to people who understand me. Happy Wednesday Warriors ❤️
I’m also 23 and feel the exact same way as you. It’s so hard to express the obsession I have in checking for symptoms to people in my age and in my life because I know how crazy I sound. I understand you completely and feels good to know i’m not alone.
I work around radiation and can assure you that a small dose from a scan is not going to negatively affect you or your body. If that helps in any way!
The suffering caused by "information " fed to this disorder, makes me sad. What our minds dont conjure we can surely find or interpret on the internet to support and justify our terror. I can relate
31 and constantly think i have gi cancer or esophageal cancer. It burdens me daily. I constantly think about it. My wife thinks I’m wasting breath and life on these thoughts……she ain’t wrong 😑
I’m so sorry. I live in the same world as you. I’m much older than you but just thought about the decades I have wasted suffering about the fear of what you said (notice I can’t even write it lol). It sucks, you’re not alone. I really hope you overcome this. It’s no fun starting a family and still be struggling with this 😢
This is an amazing video. As someone who’s suffered health anxiety immensely, I’ve never thought about my body the way you described in this video. The fact that, my body loves me and is actually working at every molecular level to work together. No, health anxiety sufferers don’t think like that, but today you’ve opened my mindset further. Beautiful!
Sounds like inner progress, keep building on the insight Paul. 👍
That is what resonated with me too :)

True, all that's happening mentally and physically is the Brain teying to protect You from danger.
Theres no way to get out of pánic mode.but to show Your subconsiouss fear is that You are not afraid
Dude, thank you. This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Was waiting in line in the emergency room in fear of X and I just walked out and left it. You give me strength.
Enjoy the channel Kane. 🙏
How you doing with it now?
I'm terrified of dying. Not the fact of death or what happens afterwards...but because I dont believe there is anyone on this planet who can love and raise my children the way that I do and I am terrified of leaving them.
I know that feeling
I have three kids, i know how you feel.
@@1381mike i have 3 as well and I'm terrified if I were to go would they be cared for in the manner I do and would they have enough love and compassion in their lives.
I feel this all the time too❤️😭
@@amie7387 hopefully we will get over this fear someday
This man is a genius,he knows this topic very well and can articulate it amazingly,thank you for my therapy
This video will always be one of my favorites of yours. I’ve listened to it a few times these past few days and it gives me a a huge boost of confidence and makes me very emotional. Thank you forever Dennis.
You are 100% spot on with this. I call it not being okay with being okay. Whenever I do start to feel good, I will always look for something that might be wrong with my health.
Therefore it’s the worry that is of value to use more so than the peace, a protection of sorts, familiar.
You are incredible
It’s 1 am and I’m sitting here having a panic attack and I come here and watch this video until I fall asleep it truly makes me feel peace listening to you talk. I have normal allergies with normal symptoms but I turn them into something serious when I shouldn’t I am healthy and young I have no reason to obsess over this.
So sorry you're going through this and pray it's gotten better for you
This is absolutely happening in my life. I’ve gotten comfortable in fear & low self-esteem and the self-sabotage that goes along with those.
Me too hon 😔
Abigail Brickler you and everyone deserve happiness and if you can say this too will pass and it’s only temporary! I wish you good health and YOU ARE WORTH IT! Sending you a big HUG!
You are not alone 💛
Metoo
When anxiety becomes entangled with your identity as a person, the answer it seems must be to re -invent yourself, let go of the past and almost start again as if you are a child who has had no bad experiences. We need to make new neural pathways in order to change the old way of thinking to a new, more positive way. I am in the process of doing this, and it is exhausting but will be worth it if i can become free of anxiety.
Dennis I don’t think I have heard my thoughts out loud until I found your channel . This is like watching my thoughts and your knowledge is unbelievable ❤️
I didn't even know I had health anxiety until about 2 months ago.I had went to the dr.because I felt like I had something in my throat and it was going to prevent me from breathing properly.They gave me a Prednisone which left me feeling quite breathless and nervous.That sent me back to the Dr. and they took me off that and put me on Clonazepam which helped a lot.But then the lump in my throat was still bothering me and they put me on asthma medication and a whole host of other medication and needless to say I've been anxious ever since.I was sent for a swallow study because now I seem to have an issue with swallowing.I feel like I'm going to choke.I eat only soft foods and I've lost weight,but your videos do help.sorry that was so long.
I hope you are doing better. I had this last summer. Turned out it was all anxiety. Lump in throat. Food felt like it was getting stuck. Only ate applesauce and yogurt for 2 months. Lost a ton of weight. Had a bunch of scans and tests. It went away.
This was GOLD, my friend 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is such a gift right now. Thank you for this video that is immediately going onto all of my personal healing playlists. There's always something you say that I hadn't considered but should - much appreciated!! Have a wonderful rest of your week. 😊
My anxiety health went from being afraid and worrying about my health to my mental healt. Now I diagnosed myself with every mental illness and I’m so afraid everyday I’m going to crazy I can’t anymore
Whatyssjhss Whatsysys Dont know if you believe in Jesus but I seeked God in prayer to help me with my anxiety and he is healing me day by day It’s gotten so much better Praise God!! Your not going crazy Don’t fear God doesn’t want us fearing Only thing we should fear is Him
Definitely Keilah, i too was with my panic attack and battling anxiety for the past months. During that time 1 of my favorite uncle passes due to the virus all of a sudden. God was with me that it felt so calm and accepted it. Prayers and talking with my Lord has tremendously healed me. Blessed be His name!!
Almira Dominguez Amen sister in Christ ...Bless his name!!
Same here, we are all in this together, stay strong!
Amen 🙏🏼 ❤
Thank you BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Amazing insights I gain every time I listen or watch one of your programs, Dennis. I am so grateful!
Im so glad i found your videos. You explain better than alot of people even the psychiatrist.
You are amazing Dennis, I will never forget your teachings.
Hugs friend, your the best.
Thank you for helping people like me out of the goodness of your heart!
I loved this particular episode!! thank you
Hi Dennis, spot on as usual. Thank you for sharing. I am in the middle of fear stuck, and shaking it off. It's hard work but the work is needed to stay sane and be present. Thanks again you are a gifted healer of the mind x
Man, this channel has come along way. Over a hundred thousand. Nice!
Thank you so much Dennis you are really helping me heal the anxiety little by little.
Thank you for your words! 🙌🏻
Dennis you are spot on with everything you say; you show us the way to healing from anxiety and finding a new way to live. Thank you chief warrior !
So powerful Dennis! I realize that everything I am doing, revolves around prevention. I eat healthy, I try to exercise every day but it's all out of fear without really enjoying anything in life. Shifting from that now. Thank you!
I was gripped watching this video. It's like you knew me personally. I download it and will keep playing it. There are so many messages to process. Thankyou Dennis 🤩
Dennis, thank you my man. Had it not been for you and your videos, I would have gone crazy with my health anxiety. It’s so infuriating. I am not completely fine and convinced that I have no health issue but I am definitely doing way better than what I was a month ago. All credit goes to you. I wake watch one video from your channel and constantly remind myself that I need to trust in recovery and in myself and in what you say. Bless you man. And sending across lots of love.
This video was right on time and on point for me. I been having a twitch in my left eyelid and my mind has been going off the wall with all these what ifs. Even after speaking to my optometrist that said it is nothing to be worried about. This video helped me.
OMG. "A world of certainty based on fear" I just burst into tears. Thats my life.
I feel you but let me tell you there is hope
My dad was always seriously ill when I was growing up and he passed away when he was in his 50s. I'm certain that's the reason behind my health anxiety. My biggest struggle with letting go of the anxiety is that if I'm not hyper aware of everything going on with my body, I could potentially miss something that truly is wrong and it could go unnoticed for too long. Working hard every day to overcome it but it's easier said than done! Thanks for your videos Dennis, they are the biggest driver of the progress I've made so far.
I feel I am dealing with the same issue,if i'm not hyper vigilant i won't catch something early,and i go from disease to disease mentally in my mind every few months,them periods of relief pust exams/scans then a new symptom and i'm off to the races again researching every symptom, it's wasting a lot of my life and that frustrates me, I just want to get to that place where i can comfortably tell myself "that's just anxiety causing xyz symptom" and move on with important things in life.
I know this place too. But I am doing EMDR, hypnosis, EFT and digging deleted to the roots of issues of the low self esteem and deep fears. Not easy but progression.
Thank you so much. I’ve been suffering for almost 20 yrs with this. It really interferes with my life.
Thank you Dennis. I need to learn this!
You are Steven. ❤️
Omg you make so much sense I suffer from this greatly
Thank you Dennis, I love you. Keep up the great work.
Rosetta Sands Grateful. 🙏
You have described me to a T! Comfortable in my fear. I am so grateful to have found your channel. I am committed to ending this cycle of health anxiety. Thank you!!
Hit the nail on the head with prevention vs creation! I haven’t watched your amazing channel in 2 years as I was not suffering any longer (which could be actually ideal, right?). Got through lots of harsh times with the tools I gained from your videos.
Had the first real backtrack of health anxiety today since then. I have lots to chew on moving forward from this video.
Blessings ❤️
Spot on. The anxiety zone is the only thing I know lately. The idea of some place of peace seems foreign...great video and lovely guy
You speak my mind of my inner fear! Thank you 🙏
This video could not have popped up on my screen at a better time. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Brad Greene Very welcome Brad.
I deal with insomnia from the depression/anxiety cycle I juggle on a daily basis. I just recently started watching your anxiety affirmations video every time I wake up... sometimes damn near six times in a row and it’s really really helped me. I have many years of this mindset under my belt so I definitely have a lot of work to do but I just wanted to thank you for all that you share knowledge wise on a platform like CZcams where someone like me can just quickly pull up a video when I’m panicked and not thinking straight. I’m so grateful that I’m emotional about it. I have a long way to go but, from the bottom of my heart, (the same heart that made me think I was having a heart attack a couple hours ago at 2am) THANK YOU.
Wow... when you said that some of us want to change and we are doing the things needed, but we are afraid of committing and arent 100% in it.. it really hit home. I am reading the book mind over mood in hopes itll help with my anxiety, specifically health anxiety and i feel like it isnt helping.. but i also feel like im resisting. Im tired of this and i know i could be so happy there are so many things to be grateful for in my life but everyday i wake up worried about what i am about to worry about regarding my health. Last week i was stuck on the fact that my doc said my iron is a bit high (despite the fact that he said everything else is beyond normal and the 'high' iron isn't high enough to even worry about), i would look up what that could mean and it would lead me to think he was wrong. This week its the fact that my rib cage hurts and my eye is twitching...and i swear everyone around me is so annoyed and thinks im crazy. I am grateful that i came across your channel truly, i feel so alone in this health anxiety journey so these comments and these videos really helped me tonight.
Samantha Centofante I’m glad they are helping, you’re on the right path.
Everyday it’s taking over me I feel so sick from it I look tired all the time lost weight it’s scary
Me too
This has truly helped me so much. I'm currently quarantined after working with someone who was covid positive and I haven't been able to shut my mind off since. These videos have helped me so much. The physical real pain I was feeling has subsided. These have been more helpful then any therapist. Thank you.
Thank you Dennis.
I love you Denis, you changed my life.
Grateful. 🙏❤️
Thank you for your videos I can relate. I've have anxiety, panic attacks i fear death and seem to acquire different symptoms depending who i speak to its like i feel their pain. Recently my cousin passed away from a heart attack and now I'm scared that- that's going to happen to me.
Right that shit just happened to me with my aunt who suddenly died from a heart attack and it affects me every since
It won't happen to you, no it won't
I thought I was losing the function of my hand. My herbalist scared the bejesus out of me when he said I had arthritis all along my thumb. I was so freaked out thinking I was going to have to give up my profession, my art career, the love of playing my piano.
Horrible thoughts stirred in my head constantly. Until I got xRayed. They said the cause of my hands limited range of motion was due to extremely tight tense muscles.
My life all of a sudden opened up. The sun shone again. I have no idea how I could’ve reacted any differently
Thank you very much very inspiring Sir Dennis!
Hi Dennis, thanks so much for your help. I had an allergy reaction that i had to be rush to emergency. After this i had panic attacks and anxiety came. I was battling with it for yrs but never had panic attacks till this time. I was suffering with health anxiety from way back. I over think and live with fear. After listening to your youtube. I analyze that my fear started since my cousin suddenly died. I would say i have a fear to death. What you say is all true. I have been listening to your you tubes and have help. Keep helping and may God keep showering you with knowledge. I want to heal and follow your advice.
This is the greatest video I have ever seen on this topic. You are truly a genius, friend.
The questions are soo good, this is great thank you dennis, nuggets of insight, 🙏
Ramon Cordova Glad it spoke to you Ramon.
I’ve only recently found this channel, I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. This video has lifted me out of a very dark place tonight and inspired me to start a new path to recovery. I will beat this healthy anxiety! It’s been with me for over 10 years now, I’m now 25 and excited to live my life fear free! :) and to anyone suffering the same! You really all are warriors, if you can beat this there’s not much left that can stop you.
Wondering how you are doing now. Hope you are in a better place.
Thank you fir your words.
U are right when you say u can do all the meditation stuff you want but if your heart isn’t truly in it, it won’t really help
Very helpful advice! Thank you! :)
Very powerful video 🤗
You are brilliant 💕thank you for all you do helping anxiety sufferers
Thank you for your trust.
Every word you are saying is so so true .
This is so true for me right now.
John assaraf the author of the book Innercise has a quote that says "are you interested or are you committed" if you're interested you'll do the bare minimum and you'll probably quit but if you're committed you'll do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.
Love this thank you.
Brilliant video as he says it exactly like it is .....
I didn't realize my obsessing tied into my anxiety. That helps so much! Thank you
Melissa Heinemann Welcome Melissa glad it gave you clarity.
This is absolutely me all of the time.
Omg...this...every single word....omg!!! He knows it all
Im grateful for you Dennis. My first panic attack was last November and for 3 months I convinced myself that I was either gonna die or I’m going crazy and will have to be locked up lol. I still have a little ways to go but I’m so much better compared to 6 months ago.
Great to hear Ryan.
I find myself at a point in my transition that I have overpacked my brain and have resources back to a few of my “what if’s”, I recognize it and know what I am doing it which I feel is a great thing, but not conquering total fulfillment of where I want to be. Like you said.... obsessing over the wrong goals and feeling will not have the internal justice to lead me to what I am longing for.... happiness, peace, fearless, strength, courageous, attentive, present in the moment..... I move forward everyday and every obstacle I make up in my head, is a challenge that I will come out of with a lesson that actually makes me stronger and have clarity of what I just provoked upon myself. I am more than anxiety and I will not keep anything but progress minded stats in my thought process on my journey to getting to where I deserve myself to be. Thank you sooooo much Dennis- you are awesome, I truly love you and forever grateful for what you have given me and have been changing my life one day at a time. I wish you could see from start to present - the transformation of your guidance and my strength, which has been a ride I never thought I would have come this far. Forever Thankful!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re doing great things on this channel! Thanks much for doing what you do. My anxiety kicked in during my fathers death. I’m not afraid to die but afraid of going through the process of some fatal disease or medical condition as my father did. It haunts the heck out of me. I’m constantly thinking his condition is hereditary and I’m going to have the same problem he did. So much so that I have feelings that seem to be exactly what I think he would’ve had but I really don’t even know what sensations/symptoms he had. As soon as I get my mind busy with something other than that, my sensations go away. Actually, I was just having them and as I started typing this comment, they are gone and I feel fine. So crazy how much my mind screws with me over this. It is very frustrating and can ruin my life if I don’t figure this out and get over it somehow.
You have just described the past few years of my life. Today, I take back some confidence and control over my life.
I thank you. 😊
Love it.
Dennis this is great.
So grateful for ur posts ! Am sure many will be helped with ur videos
Hope so! Thank you for your comment.
My anxiety makes my body ache all over like flu symptoms. Vision is blurry. Insomnia. After watching you tonight, I think I have a better chance at getting some sleep. Thank you Dennis
I can certainly relate, coupled with the fatigue of it all the challenges can add up. This channel will guide you however.
Always enjoy your videos, definitely helping me through a setback. We have spoken a few times via social media and I want to tell you that I truly appreciate you and your work. I wish you well.
looseyfur74 Grateful. 🙏
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 working on the life mastery program now. Great stuff.
Health anxiety is such a demon. Just when you gather courage and say enkogh with this.. im not paying atention to body signs anymore ! ... that new symptom showes up..
It just feels more easier to handle fear doubt and low self esteem but I want out of that!
For the first time in my life I feel someone is speaking my truth. I have never heard anyone express it so well and I’m grateful! I have had many insights but struggling to understand the “how”. How does one move from here to there? How does one get past their physical body?
For the past 3 weeks I’ve had the worst panic attacks thinking that I have MS. I have no idea why I’m fixated on it. I spent nights not sleeping just googling symptoms. And now every movement I have in my body feels like it’s dying of MS. Worst anxiety ever.. just want to feel normal again.
It’s been about a week now since beginning your guided meditations and they are helping. I need to stick to this new routine because I can see massive shifts happening! Thank you for everything.
Enjoy, and please use them daily.
Where do you find these guided meditations?
Amanda Sparks did u try reframing and if yes do you feel sad during the process not saf in a negative way bust just like if you wanna cry and get evrtg out of ur chest
I am more than Anxiety! Yes. Thank you.
You are one of the people in my life I am grateful for. You changed the way to see Anxiety. First time I learned that Anxiety is the unconditional love. Thank you so much Denise .
Much love friend.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thank you.
I have just started watching your videos. Just amazing and it has helped me understand what I’m going through. I have had health anxiety for 8 months. One of the greatest things I did was throw away my smart watch. I found myself obsessing over the health app constantly checking my sleep, heart rate, resting heart rate. It sent my head constantly into a state of anxiety. Constantly checking in and sending my anxiety spiralling. Thank you for your videos. You are the true warrior
Thank you, enjoy the channel.
Im only 16 and i have hypochondria, I thought i was having a heart attack in the middle of the night and i woke my mom up and rushed her to the hospital with me , and the doctors said that I have nothing. now my family dont believe me when i tell them Im sick :(
I feel you, same thing with me
It happened before with me, but it's not heart attack. It was panic attack over my nose feeling like it can't draw breath. It awaken me around 5am. I was alone, and I called the ambulance. I thought I was gonna die. When I was in the hospital, the ECG showed that I'm fine. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for ECG just to make sure. I was fine too.
same thing happened to my fiance she started having this after she had covid hope you overcome this i know you can do this :)
You are so so strong for reaching out and searching to find answers as to why you are doing this!!! You are going to conquer this and do amazing things!!!! I want you to say “ I am so proud of myself”!!! You have taken that first step of recognizing and now adjust your labeling you have given yourself from hypochondriac to a much bigger, better, positive and challenging word!!!! Keep following and listening to Dennis podcast and write in a journal to jump the hill and enjoy you. Your family will not let anything happen to you. What we think we feel and jump to catastrophic thinking, they see reality and the reality is you are ok. Please listen to as many of his podcast as you can. You are smart and I promise you, if you listen, you will begin to change your thought process that isn’t as scary as we have made up. It is real and it is ok. Today begins your new identity!! A bump in the road does not stop us from moving forward. I have done exactly what you have and I am 45 years old. No shame in my game...... I am proud of what I have learned along this journey and have added to my life. Sure, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, but I see how strong I am and how strong you are for knowing that you are more than a label. Keep moving forward!!☀️🌸❤️🎉
@@traciemcmahan3261 Thank you so so much for this, i really needed this and I appreciate you so much ❤️ I will try everything you said. Thanks again, :))
Each and each word of this is just me ..
Exactly what ive been going through withdrawing from things i love my kids grandkids my hobbies it is so frustrating and depressing been really down lately but i love this video and plan to get into action thank you so much
You are so very welcome, keep up the progress.
1) Fear of Cardiac event or Cancers, 2) afraid what will become to my family if I were to pass away
3) I saw my Father have 2 massive heart attacks at the age of 8 which totally wrecked my family's life for years and he was never the same again. Recently my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer and died in less than 4 weeks. I explain it like this. Since 8 I've had 1000s or cardiac events (in my mind) yet nothing really else...until a few weeks ago...when my Mom passed with Cancer...NOW I have the heart failure still and throat, neck, lymph node and oral cancer a good 15-20 times (again, in my mind..) I pray at least
Love you Dennis!
Love you back.
Oh my God it is sooo hard difficult living like that. Every day seems like a struggle and we overanalyze everything we feel or the fears we have. I really hate it being like that but at the same time cannot feel ok let these sick habits go away. It is true that this is something like psychological addiction to suffering and over controlling everything. This is a vicious and snicky cycle for anybody to live in. We get used to this toxic thing and becomes a part of our identity. This is the key to recover to me. Try to break this connection to the bad habit of fear and over analysing everything happening mentally and physically trying to solve problems every minute of our days. We don't want to live in this low, poor state of living this is not our real self. We are way more than that but we just cannot see it clearly yet.
This is so good. I always thought I was alone in this.
Jessica Koop Far from alone. ❤️
The Anxiety Guy thank you! I really need to take one of your courses or something. You explain what I go through to a T!
I have only found you today for the first time. I've had anxiety and health anxiety all my life. I found just watching this video helped me immediately. I don't want anxiety to define me. Like you say, I am so much more. I have had long periods in my life when I have been confident, spontaneous, creative, loving life. I know I CAN get to that place again. Thank you for helping me and so many others. I will check out your site right now. :)
