Anxity effect on mortality or longgivity?
I freaking hate it.. anxiety is the worst symptom there is.
Thanks for this. Living like this for 40 years and itâs a daily battle. Trauma induced after having my dad die of a heart attack at the age of 39 in front of me while I was alone with him at the age of 15. I want to be free of this!
Thank you....... this is something I needed to hear đ
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Try to remember that was a rare occurrence that you, sadly, had to witness. My sister fell into a traumatic seizure and died in front of me, no matter how hard I tried to do CPR... the paramedics had to pull me off of her. I too have a fear of death... I'm simply afraid to die. Watched my mom die of lung and brain cancer before my sister died too. My problem about dying is... will my soul get stuck here or lost along the way and not make it to a beautiful place? My faith is strong but I still fear dying. Will it be like suffocating or drowning? Neither my mom or sister had a pleasant death. I try to remind myself that every death is different and that I have a long life still ahead of me, but I still struggle with the whole subject of dying. You're not alone my friend.
@@angelheart.444 oh Iâm so sorry for all your losses đ We will get through this đđ
@@thepugsandtheprincess thank you. I want to overcome this fear. It's a heavy one for sure. Bless you my friend.âĄ
@@angelheart.444 I understand very much so đbless you as well
To die is actually to go home...this gave me great comfort....thank you so much
I am clear from this now ! 2 years and im living life about to graduate , happy and content xxx this can disappear believe me , have hope and listen to the advice xx
How bro
Any tips???
I feel like as I become more spiritually sound the fear of dying goes away.. but then when my anxiety is high Iâm very doom ridden and canât find any hope.. but then I connect all the dots and realize everything is and always will be okay.
How true it can be, thank you for sharing.
All day everyday and it's terrifying đ
I can relate yes
Wow I thought I was the only one that is going through this.
Far from it..
You are not alone
Iâve been going through this for 35 years. Everything I feel or find is cancer and Iâm constantly trying catch everything to keep me alive. Iâm mentally exhausted! At times I feel ending my life is the only way out.
That fear and feeling that now it is too late for me (51 years)... đą True hell
Is not to late strong đȘđż manđđđ
No way. What's going on . Had to do a double take. You are 51 not 91
Itâs a daily struggle, popped out of no where 7 months ago and now on medication but itâs still slighting there everyday! So hard to get back to myself but knowing others go through it helps me feel less alone đ
Me too, 6 1/2 months
Im really on a role today usually don't comment , but YES thats my exact cycle, wake up thinking what disease do I have that I don't know I have, then after I get the kids lined out, dropped off... go walk about 10 miles literally. Then ruminate all afternoon and maybe google symptoms if Im having any . All the while trying to work from home and not doing that very well. In the evening I get a break and feel somewhat normal and calm because everyone made it back home safely and no disaster happened. Then at bedtime the HA can flare up again. This is a typical day if Im having an "episode" of HA.
I really enjoyed this video. I struggle with this sue to recent trauma. I looked at comments and I realize that I'm so triggered by other people's trauma. To hear about others trauma and experiences and stories are so unpleasant for me. I felt like I was in control after this video just to get sucked right back in by comment's of why everyone has this fear. I will respect the anxiety world. Everyone doesn't need to know your story of the how and why. This is why we all have fear and anxiety.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your input.
I'm taking the program and on the slow down day and whoa, it was super interesting. I absolutely loved how it made me feel. What a great tool for me.
Absolutely, keep up the program progress.
Youâre the only one out there who includes the spiritual dimension into this anxiety problem. Of course itâs a problem of interpretation, itâs a conflict in the psyche and bad habits of thinking. No amount of vitamin supplements or whatever can really fix this. The truth is we live in a virtual reality via our thoughts. We must learn or remember how to live in reality.
I totally agree thatâs deep
Exactly and precisely what i needed today THANK YOUđđ. I have this fear of dying suddenly for years.
Very welcome glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the eyeopener Dennis, this was much needed. Talking about the fear of dying like this will make a huge difference for me and I believe I can enjoy life with these sensations running in the background.
Very welcome Iâm glad it spoke to you
Ty so much dennis for being there when i needed you over the past few yrs after my 1st panick attack i am proud to say a dont need you anywhere near as often ,i listen now out of curiousity as opposed to looking for reassurance . Ty for helping me through my journey
Iâm torn ;) in truth Iâm so very happy youâre getting better.
thank you I will share this with others who I know deal with this daily. Your program has helped me with my own anxiety
Keep up the program progress thanks for sharing.
i needed this! perfect timing thank you âșïž god bless you
You're so welcome!
Wow, what a message Dennis. It really helped understand what's going on in the moment when you broke it down like this. I definitely had a good laugh because it all sounds so silly but it's soooo true!! You are amazing at explaining things Dennis, thank you, I throughly enjoyed this.â€
You are so welcome
Wow this was helpful. I feel understood- I'm often not able to put what I'm going thru into words. I also have a better understanding of why I'm so tired all day.
This is great to hear, much love.
I needed to hear this. I was beginning to take an attitude of "what is the point?" I was seeing everything as futile. I didn't even want to exercise or workout. What for? To be the healthiest corpse in the cemetery? Great content Dennis. I think revisiting this topic from time to time is important. Especially living in the west where we see death as a taboo subject and basically never talk about it. Thanks again đ
I got better I had no life before
How did you fix it
@mythicalghost1769 I brought an old book from Dr weeks, which made me cry. It said go with it, which is neally impossible, but I did my best, meditation, and most importantly, I took magnesium glycinate, still taking some anti depressants for anxiety but better as such x
I feel the same way when a loved is sick and may die.
why do i feel like your contents make people more anxious than they actually are
Which people exactly?
Tk u sooo much Dennis you're a gift from God..amen
Blessings to you.
Been living with this most of my life. It is exhausting, happy I found this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos help so muchâ€
Glad to hear, please share with someone in need. â€ïžđ
I have found in my psychotherapy career, that patients with death anxiety are mostly not feared of death. They are feared of the fear of death. This is were appropriate and individual graduated exposure therapy comes in. People have many triggers reminders, that they go to great lengths to avoid, but at the same time, they are attracted ( selective attention) to unwanted stimul. Exposure therapy helps them to become indifferent (habituated) to the negative stuff.
Thank you for your input.
I feel like im not living. Im turning 50 in october and feel i im getting old and thus closer to death. Any symptom and im on the spiral
I pray you find peace Iâm 27 going through this your not alone
Good day. Yes. I got those feelings. My doctor told me anxiety Itâs depressing đ đ
It is constant for many peopleâŠ
Yes I fear death daily then feel guilty for not having faith in God.
I cried listening to this. I was doing good for 5 months my mum was with me. I was eating all meals, very little anxiety. Now as she left everything has come back.. I have lost appetite, I lost 1.5 kgs in a week and now that's an additional worry for me. I am trying so hard but I know my one reason is I can't be alone. It's 7 in the evening and I am already in bed. I used to do 8km walks when mum was here now Incant even get myself to move. I need to get out of this. I need to live my life
I have this feeling all the time i have visions of things happening and dying each time my partner goes out without me im constantly feeling the same its horrible my anxiety goes to another level thankyou for this x
Keep fighting đ, you are never alone
thanks for this..
You're welcome
thank you dennis
So very welcome, please share with someone in need as well, would mean a lot.
Dennis, my issue is that I'm afraid to die PERIOD. My faith and spiritual beliefs are so strong yet I fear, really FEAR, I'm going to die and my soul is going to get stuck in the place I die, or my soul will get lost somewhere, or lower beings will get me, or that it will be like suffocating or drowning, or that something else will go wrong. I don't want to die at all. I fear it with passion. Can you do a video on this subject too? My anxieties are bad enough as it is... I don't want to fear death.
I'm the same I've feared death since I was a child I'm 64 now and I still have panics about it.
@@dianeharrison3689 I'm so sorry. Trust me, I know how hard it can be. Hopefully, we'll get through this fear. My therapist recommended I watch NDE experiences on CZcams to help me realize death can be a beautiful experience. Maybe that can help you too. Bless you my friend.âĄ
Hi, M suffering from health anxiety from 8 years and literally I am tired of this now .. I need help to get out of this vicious cycle..
thank you helpingđ
You're welcome!
After losing both my parents in a year this a major issue for me
beautiful spiritual man đ
I talk to my anxiety
Is there any proof that I should đbe afraid
Is there any evidence that I should be afraid ..
Yes this hots home for me I'm getting better with the whole spirtual side of things now my dad died very unexpected at 45 years old almost 4 years ago now that's what sent me down health anxiety scare along with me having a rough childhood separation from my father and mother with abuse Ness verbal and physical my father was a full blown alcoholic so it was hard for him to express emotions my stepfather was very abusive towards me n my mom so I grew up shutting myself off alot and hear I am today alot of anxiety ptsd you could say I'm almost 30 years old now and worry about death still at times but this helps me alot thank u dennis and anyone else who reads my comment đ
Much love my friend thank you for sharing
For me, its the fear of dying and the fear of suffering before or during the dying process. Yet here i am, suffering with health anxiety. So annoying!
Dont be scared death is a releaff
We never REALLY die.
Health anxiety/heart anxiety is my curse, any small bodily sensation, feels amplified and much more intense than it used to, recently was diagnosed with a bad case of mono, which has messed me up for months only making it worse, and just like so many others, at some point I had a scare that sent me to the ER, and since then itâs daily, any movement or physical activity I think Iâm going to have a heart issue, the rapid beats, palpitations, are making me not live my life the way I used to, itâs awful, I used to be an athlete, great shape, used to love running/being super active now I feel like a shell of my former self because of this, before the mono, I got back into the gym, and started using some exposure therapy by increasing heart rate and dealing with the sensations, I was making incredible progress, then the mono hit and Iâm back to square one, any thoughts?
đđ
Dennis, Claire Weeks and the Dare academy are game changers. Hope everyone will find them. :)
Itâs a shame I can give this only one like!
Thankyou Dennis for this video, was brought up with a hypochondriac mother , i become a highly anxious person, health being one , going through some symptoms at present, and i feel i get more anxious in regards to dealing with our healthcare system,i have no trust with them , the rigmarole of getting appointments ,testing and waiting for results, i don't really google anymore ( thankfully) not as in indepth ,as my H.A Is not great at present, am back listening to yourself to ground myself , i go into freeze/fawn mode when it pops its ugly head and i dont want to live like that anymore, so thankyou for what you do, lots of love from scotland đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
@@heatherpearson7300 you got this. One day at a time. Give it time. :)
Heather Pearson, got hit with this panic and anxiety before Xmas this year! There must be a reason why I have become anxious but having to wait three weeks at a time for doctors appointment is just no use in the West Lothian area! The NHS is broken and fear I will not be diagnosed until itâs too late!
Thanks
Welcome
There is a strange contradiction that puzzles me: how can someone suffer from depression ("Tired with all this, for restful death I cry") and health anxiety ("My pinky twitched, OMG, OMG, I'M GONNA DIE!)? If we are incapable of enjoying life to begin with, then why are we so obsessed with protecting it? Or is it something else we're protecting? Hope, maybe? I would love to hear more opinions about it. Dear Dennis, would you consider exploring this paradox in a video? đ€
As I stroke survivor, anxiety popped it's head up after this. My body has now made fearful connections with the what if's popping to up all day. Breaking these habits is tough however they are just habits. You've given me sooo many "light bulb moments" to help guide me so as to understand those parts so as to make new ones. Thank you
Very welcome friend.
Anyone else afraid of food? Since a few years Iâm so afraid I might react allergic to something so my diet is very strict and I donât eat outside of my house đ„Č
Yes!!! Thatâs all me đąđą
Boy, this was me yesterday.
Interesting...I didn't interpret my health anxiety in this way before..but it makes alot of sense. I am not ultimately afraid of dying; I am safe in Jesus. But that human instinct to stay alive has morphed into this perspective of fear and what ifs and what's wrong with me constantly stream of thinking....I'm ready to be done with that.
Glad to hear the commitment.
Thank you so much ! I'm afraid of embarrassing myself.... like when i have people around me i think " oh ...if i have a pannick attack ...all people will laugh of me.... " and this is the reason why i feel safe just when my mom is home ...
Also i have fear to go far away from home because i have thought like " if i make a pannick attack here , and nobody can help me , i will diy here ....is also about not to diy , is fear about HOW i will diy ....to not diy in suffering , or witout air ... "
How can i control this ?.....thanks â€
See these ideas, sensations, mental imagery as a proactive response and nothing more. It is not you, nor do you have to follow in its footsteps. The key is in detaching from thinking that it's real and your true guidance system, these are not there to tell you what to do, they are asking us what to do. So we must consciously upgrade what things means as often as we can throughout the day through our thoughts, words, actions.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thank you ! So these feelings is asking me " are you in danger?" And consciously i tell my self that is no reason to be scared and make it all times will reprogram my mind and body to know that there isn t any danger , is just my dominant thinking from childhood ....and the brain believs thst i must be in attention because i train him all my childhood in that way
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 anxiety brain is like a child scared who needs to know that everything is ok and is no danger , and we do this by "talking" with that scared voice ?
When we stay in fligh or fight mode years , when we was a child and others says to us :" be careful to not ....heii is danger ....heeii don t do that , maybe you will... etc etc " and those voices was programming us to think that this world is a dangerous world and we must be in allert in every second because danger can apper ....
So now we must train the brain that there isn t any danger ? By talking and remembering that the brain is scared , not us ?
Actually i dont know whether am in anxiety or not because I lost my brain emotion but i feel body emotions and the pains have been there for six months like slight head aches ,arm and legs pain but have reduced .I dont inderstand what is exactly happening. Anyone help
I understand what youâre saying intellectually when you say that weâre not in touch with reality when weâre so fixated on death -but my question is, arenât we technically in touch with reality? Death is fundamentally inevitable, and that is reality.
Also, thank you so much for this video, itâs extremely helpful! đđŒ
Meaning, we are out of touch with the true understanding and respect for dying. We've been conditioned and conditioned ourselves to believe it is the end, when in truth it is only a transition. The reality that our lower selves (ego) wants us to believe is only an interpretation through the lenses of turmoil and catastrophe, and we can begin seeing it for what it really is.
Its the physical sensations....
I have the heavy head the forehead and eyes twitching and pains. I do my exercise each morning but am gonna go deeper. Palpation too but i do the deep breathing and out and get rid of it. Am trying to be better.
Love the daily practices :)
My health anxiety revolves around this, at 13 I watched my dad suffer until he died of cardiac arrest during a surgery to open the main artery to his heart. As a child i just watched as i got older im 33 i realized it was because of his poor choices, not drinking water caused his diabetes. No exercise no yearly visits or meds he basically killed him self. đą i now do everything to care for my body i just need to get out of the fear cycle.
My fear of dying is the unknown đ I Have Religion Trauma for over 30 years itâs been so hard trying to make peace with death. As I grew up I was raised around believing evil more than good. I was never taught the good after death but only the bad. I fear death everyday because I know I will have to face it one day and thatâs the only thing I have no control over. đ I donât know whatâs next after death and it terrifies me all the days of my life. Just thinking about it makes my lips shake. Iâm really trying to believe in my heart there is good after death but when you werenât raised to believe in a loving god itâs hard to really believe it because you were not taught that as a child from your parents. My fear has been bigger than my faith for as long as I can remember. Fear has been a part of my life itâs all I have ever known to do and I need to let fear go and make peace with it but I canât find the way out đȘ đ
I am exactly like this too. My wife doesnât understand me at all. Thinks I can just stop it like that. Iâm 45 now and have been like this my whole life. I started going to church about two years ago but my fear is way to strong. Itâs terrible feeling and life. Hopefully my friend we can find relief soon
@@tommycains507 hang on my friend. It can be tough not having someone understand your pain because theyâre not going through it. The only good thing about all of this is knowing youâre not alone going through this. As it can seem that we are, weâre not. I always thought I was the only person in this world afraid of it all. But as I realize thereâs more of us out there going through the same thing it brings me some kind of peace knowing I am not alone through this journey. There are more of us out there and it feels a little less lonely. I stopped going to church honestly because I canât get past my religion trauma. And to be honest I donât feel god at church because that is where my trauma started. Iâm learning itâs okay to let go of things that make you uncomfortable. My church is my home đ đ€ I donât have to be perfect for anyone but just be myself at home with god and my Bible and Iâm letting him guide me page by page. Maybe one day I will be strong enough to walk back in a church. All we can do is try to enjoy each day as it comes and keep fighting that fear that haunts us. Something that has been helping me is avoiding, horror movies, foul music, anything that involves darkness and fear I stay away from. I listen to godly music, watch comedy movies, romance, family movies. I read Christian Books đ And itâs helped. I go for walks at the park, eat healthy and stay active. I pray đđ» you and I and everyone else that is going through this are able to make peace đïž with death one day.
I'm having a really hard time with death anxiety :( đ
Do the fear of death meditation on this channel daily it will help.
đąđą
I have a new technique for anxiety reduction. I imagine negative thoughts that pop into my head as balls. For example, if you like baseball imagine when an unwanted thought comes into your head, someone pitches a aball at you and you swing an imaginary bat at it and you shout in your mind "Bad thought, bat it away"' and the ball goes flying out of the park. And you give a huge cheer. Or it could be a cricket ball or a golf ball going a long way down the fairway or a 20 foot putt going in the hole. Or similarly a succesful basket ball throw or a football going into the net. Whatever works for you.
does anyone else have constant bloating from anxiety?
Possibly cortisol
I canât even take any medication be it natural or prescribed by the doctor or psychiatrist without my stupid brain telling me iâm going to die on the spot after taking it, and debilitating panic attacks happen leaving me shaken and struggling to get out of bed. Suicide is stronger during this time.
Be strong đ
@@agapiix6159 Thank you very much đđŒ
I am the same my fear is being sick . Very hard.
@@patdaniell5528 I sincerely hope you recover quickly! My health anxiety started after i contacted Meningitis. Now every body sensation starts a panic attack, even though i know a panic attack isnât harmful it still leaves you shaken.
Its so annoying,
Wow this is interesting . I have definitely trained my subconscious into reacting and using auto triggers .. from googling. Yo going back and fourth to the er over 20 times , believing in ideas , wow . I didnât know I could do that to myself .
So here I am at the point where Iâm creating new ideas , a new identity , and a new perspective.
I love how you said mentally and triggers are not in our control .. this whole time I was trying to control it . And got mad when it didnât go my way .
My body still repeats certain situations that I been through in the past , like going to sleep at night preparing for a panic attack , or even preparing for death . And that feeling lingers for days and days as long as I continue feed it .
It actually happened last night and the feeling is still there .
Trying to allow , surrender , and still live my life even though I feel like my heart will just stop , or something will happen .. I had this feeling countless of times and always remained fine .. so I guess it takes time .. Iâll give myself that đ€ itâs okay , Iâm learning each and every day
I have been recovered from crippling health anxiety for about three years now but this is the one thing that lingers. It comes and goes but I do notice it more when I have become lazy in my practices and too âbusyâ with life. Thank you for this video, I really needed it right now đ«¶
Yes, staying 'militant' in our daily practices is key.
