- Visit theanxietyguy.com/my-program/ to begin your natural recovery from anxiety through the #1 CBT program online.
Description: I work with many people through Skype that are concerned that they just may be losing their focus/concentration in their lives, coupled with short term memory loss. The question I get is can anxiety cause memory loss and concentration issues?
The simple answer is yes, it can. But it's also important not to chalk this down as just being related to anxiety as a quick doctors visit can put your mind at ease from anything serious. Research has shown that stress severely impairs the short term learning and concentration areas of the brain. This means that when a person is constantly triggering their stress response, they begin cycling around memory loss and concentration issues immediately.
The important thing to understand is these memory and concentration issues are another symptom of anxiety. Prolonged sensitized nerves can trigger a host of strange, and worrying feelings that begin to lessen as the root of the anxiety gets targeted and eliminated.
CBT is a fantastic method to help people suffering from these symptoms of anxiety. The sooner you become willing to learn and change, the sooner CBT can help you being your road to recovery from stress and anxiety in your life.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE MORE THAN ANXIETY!

Dealing With Emotional Fatigue Due To High Levels Of Anxiety? Watch This Video: goo.gl/Y2aGTw
@Dr Reform You're kidding me right? People wanna always focus on diet, instead of the real causes of so many problems in this world. My anxiety and anger was caused by my childhood & toxic family, not the comfort food I just ate. Typical you let families off the hook, like so many do.
Thanks you sir Denise. i feel like i have a lot in mind when i come back from work children bathing and feeding them homework have to fix dinner race against time and at the same time am very tired and irritated so all that just has my mind in hundred different places so deffinatly terrible focus and disorganized issues there
You are a great person. thank you. You helped me.
Hello, ive had anxiety for a long time,i consider myself to have a very good memory,but now ive been experiencing short term memory, i get up go to the kitchen and i just stand there trying to remember why i went to the kitchen, i go to my sons room to tell him something but when i get there i forgot what i wanted to say, i take my phone to do something but the minute my phone is on my hands, i have already forgotten what i wanted to do, this is something that happens to me but not often but now it happens everyday,it is scaring me im 30 years old
Being unable to hold a conversation is the worst of it....
I feel you man :(
I feel you!!! When the anxiety kicks in you can’t think of anything.. can’t even hear what the other person has to say.. all you can think of is “RUN!” “HIDE!” “YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!”... it’s quite hard but I believe l’ll overcome it and you can too!! And WE WILL!! Love you! Xoxo
Yes!
I have the same problem i feel ya
RubyGloom yes true
This is so relatable! Dealing with anxiety is so terrible 😭 I'm a student and I literally cannot concentrate or remember anything.
Be brave my brother we will fight with it and get rid of it be confidential my brother it is a temporary issue it will b okey everything
How r u now brother
I shake I'm nervous at everything I grew up shaking my whole life 😔
How are you brother
The fact that a guy is putting himself out there and having the courage to be vulnerable makes me so inspired and gives me joy. Generally men feel find it harder to open up about thier feelings because of the society that we live in, when some of these men are too afraid to ask for help they can become suicidal. Your channel is challenging that stigma, that is so beautiful.
I find the main reason men hold back emotions is becsuse women are not comfortable with men having emotions such as anger
sometimes I don't know if my lack of concentration is due to anxiety or Adhd or what. Ugh. I'd like a new brain.
Then you'd be a new person.
Oh god wouldn't we all 😂
Smoke a joint.
Christina Ornelas words cant describe how well I know this feeling. I’ve been this way for years and it’s ruined my life in so many ways and I can never tell what’s actually happening. I have no idea what to do to fix it but just know that ur not alone and I know exactly how you feel.
Same here..i have no clue about anything in my life...everythng is confusing
I have been putting so much pressure on myself when I can't remember every little detail ugh glad I found your video God bless you will be praying for everyone who is struggling in Jesus name
Same I am struggling with this
9 months late but ugh same and it sucks
are you doing better tho?
@@moonishiri are you doing better?
I'm going through the same thing. And I start scaring myself. How is everyone doin now?
same here I hate it so much drives my crazy
Its hard for me to focus on this video.
So true
Feel better just listening to you
Handcraft Projects Warms my heart, enjoy the channel. ❤️
im too having concentration problems and i just cant calm down while studying i end up reading the same thing again and not understanding much
Me too and the anxiety just gets more intense and then I end up giving up and crying haha
You are suffering from OCD( Obsessive compulsive disorder)
I was diagnosed with that.
@@MajidKhan-kq7se how are you doing right now?
Ppl think I am lying when I say I just DO NOT REMEMBER things. It has ruined alot of conversations and made me feel like AM I STUPID? Y AM I NOT REMEMBERING THINGS? Thanks for this video because I myself do have excessive stress,fear and anxiety THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW ITS OKAY ILL DEF DO BETTER
Jessie111587 Enjoy the channel, you’re far from alone. ❤️
Its been 5 years. Hows is going my man?
This is great,I have been worried why am I so forgetful this was very reassuring that I am not going crazy and it's just another symptom Thank you!
Tracy Craig Very welcome Tracy.
The Anxiety Guy is it really just a symptom ? ... I’m scared
Tracy Craig exactly how I’ve been feeling.
I just want to say I have dealt with this on and off throughout my life, exactly as he described it. Even writing this I can feel it coming back. For me the best way to deal with it is too acknowledge that it is exactly what he said it is. There is not something wrong with you, your own internal stress is causing these symptoms in yourself. Once you can accept that the next thing to do is to not worry about it. I know it is hard, but just do this. When you feel like you just forgot something or your inability to concentrate is coming back, realize it is only happening because you are letting it happen. Accept that you have that symptom and keep doing what you are doing. Once you accept that it is there it looses power to affect you. You need to ignore it and go on with what you were doing, it's hard to do but the less pressure you put on yourself to overcome and the more you accept what is happening and continue with your day the less it bugs you. Also, a big help for me was realizing this. If you were walking and a bear started chasing you (or something similarly dangerous) you would not be thinking about your stress and inability to concentrate you would do your best to escape the situation and your sole focus would be in that moment not on your anxiety. What I'm trying to say is if you can find something to focus on you will stop having these symptoms, if only for a brief period, and once you realize you just didn't have the symptoms for even a short time, it becomes easier to accept them for what they are, just symptoms.
I have memory loss and concentration issues, I kind of knew that it was related to my anxiety, but now I'm sure, everything you said sounded like me, I'm gonna exercise myself more often, playing my acoustic guitar more often, and study my favorite languages English and German more often, and of course stop judge myself all the time. Thank you so much for this video! You got one more subscriber ;)
Only John Cheers, enjoy the channel my friend. ❤️
Same probelm memory weaknes and low concentration issues can u guide me what should i hv to do bcz this problem is making demage my life I'm just 28years plz guide i hv too much memory weaknes and concentration probelm
I am playing my guitar more often too…Thanks..😍
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been slowly recovering from an anxiety disorder for the past couple of years. I had overcome many fears over this time (depersonalization, derealization, stomach pain, heart rate issues) but I always had a maintained a lingering fear that the brain fog that I was experiencing was some sort of permanent effect of this prolonged anxious state. I thought perhaps that this was early stage Alzheimer's/dementia or something like that. After watching this video a couple of weeks ago, I was immediately relieved in knowing that this too was a common symptom of anxiety. This was key in letting go of this lingering fear and I have truly felt back to my "normal self". My brain fog has been lifted as well; the improvement occurred immediately once the stress response stopped. Just want to let anyone know who is experiencing this that any anxious symptom you are experiencing will fade away once you let go of that fear.
Yes I Feel Like I’m Loosing My Mind I Cant Remember What I Did Yesterday Or Earlier That Day
ong i’m so glad i’m not the only one
Same here, are you any better I thought I was only one.
Same
had a massive panic attack yesterday, lack of sleep was a huge factor
Gwyn Likewise in my days with anxiety.
I find magnesium POWDER helps a lot with sleep😴 In glass of water just before bed
Did it go away?
When someone is talking to me my anxiety would rise and I would have racing thoughts in my head
same here and i also have these thoughts I overthink to much 24 hour like what if i get lost in my brain what if i forget everything like moving seeing thinking what if i pass out and i get really anxious thinking how will i move what if my brain stop working what if i can't focus or concentrate in anything what if i forget to breathe but i can really move talk and i have still past memories i didn't forget is it but whenever i think that i get really anxious is this overthinking anxiety or ocd fear thoughts?????!plz reply
@@puzzledadmiral2593 it's aniexty and osd
Everyday I feel like things are more "foreign" it's weird and I sometimes feel like I'm in a dream. Forgetfulness and confusion come into play as well.
after my hard panic attack I felt like I was watching the world around me through a veil , mentally not visually
@Manasa Chowdary I've had it for 2 months straight? Is this common.
This is exactly me is like u hear a place that used to sound familiar and it is familiar but just sounds wierd when u hear it
I have amnesia. And I cant think well or use the correct words all the time. It comes and goes but something is different about me and people wont tell me why... I just can't remember things. I forget easily. And I am easily manipulated when I am under alot of stress. But I am progressing. My memory is irreparably altered but the memories are there somewhere. Takes me a long time to work out anything I forgot. It takes a very long time when I am stressed and scared. And things cling onto my memory and it makes it hard to know what happened out of all the timelines. It is hard to remember fact from fiction alot of times. And I think it is important to remember something. It's on the tip of my tongue and has been for months... like 3 to 6 weeks but I cant know for sure time is different now
Thanks for this video.
Recently I've convinced myself that I have some sort of dementia/ brain problem. Went to the doctor and tests came back "normal".
Still everytime I say a wrong word, everytime I read something and I don't understand it immediately or everytime I forget what I was saying the anxiety / panic feeling comes strong.
I keep telling myself that I'm fine, it's just anxiety, but it's still hard.
I believe better days will come, and this video helps strengthen that belief.
I'm feeling this way and it's so scary 😨... its horrible! 😔
@@LouICE-we9tl me to,hard to read ,hard to understand what i hear even typing
I fell in love with this guy in the end of the video.. This was so relieving and relaxing for a person like me fighting anxiety for several years and it being a cause of my failures. Very few people i've seen sympathizing in such a good manner. Thankyou brother. Love from Pakistan.
Dennis level of detail covered is excellent.. You are Godsend.
Im in the middle of most anxious stage in my life.It's anyhow chronic for me but your videos more than anything are able to help me understand the monster.
Goin trhu this really makes you feel like your loosing it , but ur words make a gray day light up thanks man ur awesome!
This is the BEST channel I have found to help me understand, cope and hopefully conquer my anxiety. One little trick that I've found that kinda helps me is to tell myself in times of health anxiety worry (which is my biggest problem... Especially the fear of Alzheimer's, which to me is the worst of all diseases😔) is that there's no point in worrying until it's diagnosed. Then I can worry, but not right now. Subconsciously what that does is tell me that I might not even have what I fear. Its very hard to consciously believe you dont have what you fear when you're struggling with Anxiety but this trick somehow bypasses my own reasoning and go to my subconscious, which works for me. Thank you so much for what you do, you are an Angel👼 in my eyes🌹
I feel like i have no confidence,low mood,depression,anxiety and dementia. Its so frustrating and exhausting because i just dont know what is going on in my head. My family gene is known for mental health illness's and dementia i feel like i need to go doctors but with coronvirus i cant go doctors now.
When i do go doctors i feel like the doctors are judging me as some crazy person which doesnt help and i cant explain whats going on in my head proply. Then i think its all my fault because i over think all the time. From when i wake up my head feels like its boiling and it just doesn't stop.
I cant concentrate proply i have to read things over and over again.I So wish i had a new brain if anyone else is going threw this i feel your pain i hope we can be cured.and lead a normal life.
Omg.... you just described me.... this is exactly how I am feeling... I went to the doctor the other day, they told me to exercise and do breathing exercises/meditation... and to be honest I haven't been consistent so am not seeing any results right now ... furthermore my brain is too busy overthinking everything.... 🤦♀️🤦♀️ ... I get embarrassed when having a conversation and i literally forget what was said, especially on the phone. I pray to God for Healing because i dont know what to do... my mother side of family has alzheimers and am worried I do too....
I'm in a very similar place to both of you. I'm always worried about whats going on around me and can't even think clearly about what I have to do because I feel like theres something more important happening close by that I need to think about. Any little sound will pull my attention away from what im doing or thinking...also when im having a conversation Im always putting my focus on "what are people thinking and how can what im saying or what the other person is saying negatively affect me"... my thinking is so slow now because of this that Im really unorganized and I feel like I cant keep up with the people im talking to...I overthink too and always will second guess any decision i make which slows me down even more...this is absolute hell. I feel your pain and I hope we can all recover and enjoy life as it should be
@@nickg7552 omg every exact word you just said is me. I can’t deal with all this overthinking it’s basically torture for your mind in a way
@@sculsh Exactly it's absolute torture. Wishing you all the best.
@@ophelia6287 how old are you? So many people struggle with this...
Dennis thank you so much for making these video . You have truly helped me so much and continue helping me and I am so grateful !!!
Absolutely amazing...👏 Dennis...excellent info. from a REAL pro.!
This is the BEST explanation I've seen about this topic ...and I'm also a health professional.
I'm now a fan.
Dennis you are so right about being gentle with oneself. I was getting really forgetful with my daughter's school related work and it was making me feel so guilty, but I told myself I am a human I can make mistakes sometimes and it calmed me a great deal.
I have a request. I know you have talked a lot about what kind of diet helps with relieving anxiety, but I would really appreciate it if you could do a detailed diet video with giving guidelines on what type of meals to take and what to avoid etc. I will be so grateful! Thanks for all your help. :)
You are an inspiration. Thank you for continuing to help people like me through these videos. Love and blessings 🫶
I have had depression for more than a year by now. They were the most crucial days of my life. I neglected sleep and food, stopped socializing, stayed at home engaging in no real tasks during these really difficult time. Nowadays, I think more about myself than I usually did in the past years. I also seemed to develop anxiety due to the symptoms that depression produced. Inability to focus, concentrate, remember recent and past events, fatigue, foggy feeling in my head and chronic illnesses made me more concerned and caused fear that evolved in me day by day. The fear of being judged, feeling of worthlesness, fear of negligence by loved ones haunted me. My memory issues even created a fear in me that I might lose my mind completely if there is nothing I could do about it. Your speech reassured me and made me feel more confident than how I felt some minutes ago. You changed my perceptions towards my thinking. Funny how someone that I found on youtube from random google search can change the way I think! Keep doing what you're doing. The world needs your positivity and love.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! These are much needed info and clarification for me. Very self assuring. Thank you. Thank you so much!
Hi Dennis..Watching all your videos lately, has given me the a reinforcement in relation to acquiring the patience to follow through your amazing information, I'm live in Australia, and am currently going through a course for my anxiety and depression named MindSpot...conducted by the Macquarie university and the National Health and Medical Research Council..it's being a difficult rd..but I think I'm getting there.. thank you so much..🙏🏼💆🏼♂️😊
Thanks alot, this is the awnser that i've been looking for long. I love you so much
This is so insanely , having to deal with this symptom. This just started about a month ago and it’s still going . Christmas was a disaster as well as New Years . I just pray to god that I get better and thank you Dennis for this video it really sets a mind of peace to know that I’m not the only one going thru this . Been listening to your podcasts and I actually started all the way from the beginning that is dennis
Im struggling with this as well. Have you gotten better?
I just found your videos and I am so glad I found a channel that is honest with mental Heath 👏 thank you
Emily Ross As real as it gets with no sugar coating whatsoever :) welcome
Wooooah. Thank you. This anxiety affects my job. My social relationship. But thank you, because of this vid I can feel that I am not alone. That I should make myself calm whenever experiencing panic attacks/anxiety.
thanks for the video. i’ve been using your strategy for years. it’s helps a lot.
This was very helpful. Thanks Dennis!
Thank you Dennis. This is reassuring and helpful.
My anxiety has increased lately due to some unforeseen circumstances that are out of my control. My memory and ability to hold a conversation without feeling like I'm going insane has also increased. Between the physical and emotional symptoms, I feel like I've got somethings severely wrong.
Anxiety is the master mimicker. :/
Lee BK It surely can be absolutely ❤️
That was such a soothing video. Ive only just realised that my cognition issues were related to anxiety which made me even more anxious, you have made me feel much calmer about this. I will check out your other stuff 😊
Enjoy :)
Honest voice , you can tell he has been through stuff.
Is it possible to feel so lethargic, so mentally exhausted with extreme lack of focus from anxiety that you feel like your body is dying? Can anxiety get so intense that it can feel like death to the person? Just over the last year my anxiety has become so incredibly bad and just unmanageable but I'm very grateful I found this channel.
Yes
Yes it can anxiety can do a whole bunch of things to the mind. But just remember, keep living your life and have ur goal in ur mind let that be your happiness let it drive u and remember u deserve to be happy :) don’t get stuck into too many videos of health issues and shit , rule out everything by ur doctor and then u know it’s just anxiety and do ur excersize and make money you’ll b in a good place in ur life with happiness and a clear mind ,
I had that sense of a pain cloud in late 2019 I hope you feel better and have a great day
@@jasongillies5911 what helped you? i’m currently dealing with the same thing
@@exomummy1900 just wait on Jesus stay humble be like the father in loving people and stay calm and breath and go to a church of help and look for deliverance look for someone who has deep knowledge but if they ask for money you know they aren’t real

Can't tell you how happy I am to have found you, your CZcams Channel, and your Podcast! Thank you ;)
Jonny P Enjoy! ❤️
I am starting a podcast and would love to interview you, would this be something you'd be up for?
Thanks! This video helps me a lot,I wish I could remember everything you said!
God bless you. Just listening to this has calmed me down. You are great. Thank you so much. I worry about Alzheimer’s
Faith hope I went and had a test done to see if I was losing my mind. I passed it and I still think I’m losing my mind. That’s how terrible anxiety can be. Mine won’t let me even believe the results? Anxiety is my arch enemy.
@@dmzabo3914 i feel the same way as you i feel like a screw went out of my head i can't remember anything that just recently happened but i realized that i can remember my long term memorys whichs goes to show that the aniexty doesn't affect the long term memorys but it affects the short term memorys this gives me such relief because i can't forget about that childhood game that i use to play and my childhood friends i need them in my memory they make me who i am today a guy whos chilled and likes to have fun
Thank you soooo much, I have hope now! I will be listening to your video over and over again- God bless.
Allyson Farrell Love it!

angie Brennan Forward together always Angie.
wow so greatful to have found this. i lived in frequent panic for years, and waking up in the night not knowing who what or where i am. that triggers even more panic. now at least i know why 🙏👑
Same this video has made me feel a bit better but I’m going to watch his 2 hour live about anxiety and memory just so I can know everything lol
Thanks for the positive energy. Bless you brother!
adddan123 Glad it’s helping. ❤️
When no one understands us, Dennis does! Thanks for the reassurance sir!
Much love.
Thanks; I recently forgot to do something pretty important in my work----- and then freaked out , telling myself all kinds of negative , fearful things. You're right; we've got to take the pressure off ourselves, and accept that lapses like this come from anxiety. Re: "write it down" , This gave me the idea to start keeping a whiteboard with steps for every project written out---so that I can't forget anything crucial.. (And to be okay with needing to do that. )
The guided meditations in your program really helped me with my anxious forgetful patterns 🙏
Ana Colangeli Grateful the program meditations have helped you so much Ana 🙏
Appreciate video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Rebooting Health Approach (search on google)? It is an awesome one off guide for getting rid of chronic fatigue syndrome minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
You sir, are very helpful. I have been under so much stress and anxiety, anxious thoughts that I cannot subside. Always worrying, fear of losing control. I have been dealing with anxiety, for a very long time. Just seems to bite me in the ass every couple years, and things end up triggering it, and I can’t always seem to get out of it easily. Dealing with it very hard right now........ it’s pretty scary.
I have this feeling like my mind is broke, but I usually can remember things. When I do ha e a memory problem it’s as simple as did I put mustard on a sandwich or not. But I still have a scary feeling in my mind like a real uncertainty about my thinking and memory. I’m still working in convincing myself that this is just anxiety.
Same here!! Any improvement? Whenever I notice it happen it freaks me out and makes me more anxious.
LampShed I relate with both of you. I get very anxious and start searching things up and most of the time dementia or alhezimer comes up and it scares me that I my problem is worst
@@Kevin-ys3el dude searching these symptoms always brings up brain degenerative diseases and it scares me but I know it's anxiety and dpdr getting better but every now and then I get scared and completely mistrust my own judgment as though it's not me thinking inside my head. This shit all fucking sucks and I can't wait for the dizziness and dpdr to just fuck off. Hopefully you're doing better now too 👍
LampShed seeing I’m not the only one does make me feel better and we are for sure going to get through this and get better
@@Kevin-ys3el im with you. I fear as well i can even say the name of the disease i fear but you both will know.. I just want this anxiety to go and get back to living my life
Thank you for this video, I never had issues with this until I was hit by a car 3 years ago, and I thought it was because I suffered a concussion but thankfully nothing showed up in my tests. I’ve been struggling with it again lately, but I also know I have severe adrenal fatigue and my body has been stressed to the max most of my life, my sleep is horrible, I can’t handle stress, I begin to shake and cry, and now I know the memory issues have resurfaced due to my anxiety. Thank you for this video!
How are u now ..i need help too ..same ...i feel disconnected from the reality
I'm getting to the age of driving, and I'm super stressed, and forgetful, I get yelled at because I forget things whether while driving or simply at home, it makes it worse in this time, especially while I'm worried about school and the fact of not being able to see anyone makes it worse, I'm grateful for this video, and I hope to get better, it will take a while though.
Simply perfect.
Exactlly what i was thinking and looking for
I have trouble holding onto conversations cause I tend to forget what they said and what I said and it’s terrible cause I’m now at the point where I avoid all conversations with people. I exclude myself from social interactions. I’m alone and you just gave me a sense of hope that this can go away. That it’s not permanent. So I thanks you for the hope you just gave me. Thanks Dennis.
tgReqq Slow down your speed in speech and other areas of life, take time for meditation and self love, and slowly build back your mind power friend.
Thank you for this! Be ever so blessed!👍
I'm having a bout of OCD/Anxiety/Depression & I'm finding it difficult to remember people's names,which was barely ever an issue for me throughout the 37 yrs of my life. Sometimes it takes me a day to remember close relatives/friend's or common celebrities names. This caused me to spiral further into anxiety & would seek affirmations through people and/or Google searches to ensure that it is not something serious/chronic
Thankfully Sir,your video is a beacon of hope for me & I'm trying to get into terms with my brain that this is nothing but OCD/Anxiety playing its trick or facade on me as usual!
May God bless you & all those struggling with these issues!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sir, thank you. This video speaks to me. My main issue that’s causing my depression and anxiety is how terrible my memory is, but I’m almost certain that my bad memory is linked to those 2 very reasons. I feel like if I where to get on anti depressants my mind would be able to focus on other tasks and remember more things.
I’m 15 and suffer from depression derealisation and anxiety and believe me bro , I’m feeling the same way as you , I can’t remmber anything and k other think and think it’s dementia
Thank you for posting my anxiety has been affecting my concentration and having a hard time understanding certain things. I almost want to cry 😢.
❤
Wow this hit the nail it's exactly what Its going on with me...I am a self diagnosed sufferer since teenage years....anyway I was worried thinking 24/7 I was going into dementia. Thank you for your videos!
How are you feeling now? Relapsed into stress and anxiety a little today and yesterday and feeling a bit lost. Lots of brain fog!! It just makes me feel better when I get replys from people who've recovered 😑😂😑
Elmo well I haven’t recovered yet but I feel you. I’m a teenager and I seriously sometimes can’t remember what I did yesterday. In the afternoon I feel like I’m out of it and I just don’t feel good because I’m always worrying. And then the next day when I try to remember what I did yesterday I can’t remember at all. I’m afraid I might have dementia
@@Kevin-ys3el dementia was the big one for me thought I had it early in age the brain fog was that bad. I keep freaking out about it big time for a few mins before snapping back out of it. Bran fog isn't too much of an issue for me now but I do get it every now and then haha
It’s just good to know I’m not the only one going through this!☺️
Hey man, don’t worry I’m in the same place as you , I’m only 15 and suffering with dp dr depression anxiety and ptsd and my memory feels like idk what happened ten mins ago
Thank you for putting this out there
So very welcome enjoy the channel.
My therapist told me to take it easy too. Thanks!
This is the video i needed to watch. Thank u so much.
idaho524 So glad it helped, enjoy the channel.
great to hear this at this time of my recovery i started to get fitter after being physically ill weight loss etc and went back to the same places where i was ill the swimming baths i went to before i was ill now reminds me of something bad going to happen i couldnt work out how this was so until dennis made things a bit clearer so maybe new ways of getting back out there may be less confusing
This was extremely useful, thank god for the research you've done on this topic.

So very welcome miss our sessions Leah ;)
Thank you! This helped calm me down.
Thank you so much for this video, I really thought I was going down with dementia. Now I feel like you saved me .
Chris Verr same here it’s so scary to go through this. Prayers your way 🙏🏽💛
@@MZFiVETW000H Thanx for the prayers, they're always welcome.
I watched your anxiety vid, I truly hope you are better now, I've recently experienced what you've been through, it's excruciatingly hard not to recognise the person you've been with, on my part it was a 15 years marriage, but i'm sure you can still relate, if the love was the same, the pain was probably the same.
But as you say, it makes you a stronger person, and that's what keeps me going.
Thank you also for the tips, I'm sure you've help alot of people by saying that.
And I also wanted to let you know I find it extremely courageous what you've done, a lot of people couldn't have done it, they would have been scared of other people would think of them as weak, but it is sooo very very brave!!
I hope that you've felt liberated after it was of your chest.
So keep well and strong and remember what they say: Don't just go through it, grow through it.
All my thought are with you, take care and keep up the good work.
Chris Verr you’re welcome! 💛 I’m hanging in there I’ve been recovering from all this nightmare. Taking my time and trying to heal the right way! Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch my video and also to reply! Means ALOT! It was very hard to show my feelings since I always been so strong and held everything in but I know by sharing things it’s possible to connect with people and help others so I appreciate what you said. Brighten my day! Especially since it’s my ex bday today it’s been rough.. I can imagine how 15 years could be such a hard hit if 5 years was hard for me. I have gained a lot of growth over this which I’m thankful in a way and also it showed me how strong I truly am. Thank you so much for the well wishes! I hope that you are feeling better 🙏🏽💛 anxiety and depression are such hard and uncomfortable things to feel. Great book is Claire Weekes in Amazon for like 6 bucks. Highly suggest it! Sending you love, peace and positivity! Be safe!
thank you very much!
that's really helpful.
thank you for this video❤
I had to struggle to answer auto insurance claims and all the stupid questions over 2 fender benders within one month and the latest one yesterday Non my fault. Still everything you said Dennis holds true,,Anxiety is a Hell I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Thank you. I really needed this.
Lily Lol Very welcome enjoy the channel. ❤️
Thank you for your video. It means so much to me. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Can brain fog from anxiety make you feel like your mind is perpetually slipping but it actually isn’t. I’ve had brain fog, and I believe it’s from anxiety, but I never had this until I had real bad anxiety.
I think I might have brain fog.also I have this weird feeling behind my right eye.
love u 2 bro.. really every single word u said is a gold completely agree with you.. Thanks a lot
Absolutely brilliant totally agree with this and what you say about if you say uve a symptom people say go doc you get more and more worried and the cycle continue I'm sick of people telling me go doctor something must be wrong I look at the facts and say if there was something wrong I'd be dead by now I'm years with this and no wonder with people telling me go doctor instead of just accepting it's anxiety and the less attention you give your symptoms the Better you will be but that is thanks to Dennis just listening to him on his podcasts ,Facebook ,snapchat CZcams has helped me so much I can only imagine all who has done his program how pleased they all are he's amazing love you
This is really making my life as an Uni student very hard
Thank you sir... Helpful
I understand now that it’s my anxiety... today I was plugging in my charger in the outlet and then I rushed downstairs saying to my mom where’s my charger and she told me I placed it on my desk and then I remembered that I did plug it in🤦🏻♀️ I got so scared like how can I forget you know... but that time I had anxiety and I was thinking about a lot of things and that’s why maybe I wasn’t concentrating on the charger
Hey I’m going through this I’m scared if I’m going forget about my family that’s a big fear I’m only 16 my mom said I always forget about things she said that I always has this when u was little because I always lost my things at school and I always forget the little things
This video helped me feel like I’m getting better already. My first 4 months were crazy feeling better little by little ima keep on fighting this thing and ima beat it!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey did you recover
@@jerrylowe8615 I’m feel like I’m at 80% bro honestly I still get sum trippy symptoms that I can’t explain but it’s way way better campare to when it started
@@Joemomma-ho6xc bro my symptoms are so bad, I have really bad brain fog and memory loss on top of this and concentration issues which makes me forget the trips to different places
@@jerrylowe8615 I hate that feeling I drink a lot of brain vitamins like omega and carnitine and I felt it did helped
I just thought my brain was messed up! I forget things a lot. Things that are important and I should remember but I remember the wrong things. I have been forgetting my grandpa and my grandma is going away as well. I forget assignments and I forget names, things I had to eat, clothes I worn etc. My mom says it's not and issue but she says the same thing about my anxiety. Thank god I know now
very helpful video!
Thank you for this.
noticed i’ll think something .. and than boom i’ll forget but it comes back like less than a minute later. but in that moment that i’m trying to remember i get frustrated and freak out because i forgot.
Exactly me how do you deal with it
Im just waking up to the fact that I have Anxiety. I had no idea. I thought it was my adhd and brain trama etc etc etc.. but I've been learning it is my bodies stress response to like 6 trauma's in a short period time. I thought I was loosing my mind and I had a body chemical change in my hormones. I argued with my doctors then I just quit going .. then I founds some wonderful youtubers … Life is better now !! Not finished and healed , but so much better. I love that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I get to see it :) anxiety and depression are so over looked.
That's what I thought my body temp would go up from 98.6 to 99.6 or 99.9. At that time they were taking my temp I was very anxious so that explains that. Anxiety causes so much. Thank you for ur response ♡ I truly appreciate you!
Tina Givens Much love Tina ❤️
im a kid and i have anxiety i feel like im losing my mind and im losing my memory and i forget always anything it's hard to remember
When i do something i think to myself " are you actually here doing this rn, is this real life"
Cj weekly! yes! Same here , that’s a symptom called derealization and it’s normal for anxiety , most likely people who have anxiety experiences that all the time , I’d always get it too and if your having it just ignore it and just don’t worry or panic cause it will make it worse I did that before and it doesn’t feel good 😔 so I would just say just accept that it’s just your anxiety and it’s a symptom.
@@kaelaliim I overthink to much 24 hour like what if i get lost in my brain what if i forget everything like moving seeing thinking what if i pass out and i get really anxious thinking how will i move what if my brain stop working what if i can't focus or concentrate in anything by these i sometimes feel what if this world is fake what if good is fake what if universe is fake what if i forget to breathe but i can really move talk and i still remember all my past memories i didn't forget is it but whenever i think that i get really anxious is this overthinking anxiety or ocd fear thoughts????plz reply
@@puzzledadmiral2593 u don't have confidence on urself
@@puzzledadmiral2593 this is common and it's not mental illness
Thank you. Really struggling with this right now. My dad was has early onset dementia and I am a hypochondriac. I feel like my mind is slipping every day now and it is driving me insane. Had a nervous breakdown a few days ago. I am constantly ruminating every second of every day. Once I forget something I feel an adrenaline rush and that will start the downward spiral for the day until I'm white and feel like hell. Needed to hear this
I feel like you wrote exactly how I feel…. My mom was the same way only 55 and as I am getting older especially the last several months once I got tested and finding I have the carrier gene I’ve had a ton of anxiety and can’t remember anything that I did even a half hour ago. I hope it has gotten better for you and I’m sorry about your dad it is very difficult.
@@richardsondayna4064 I am better now although still dealing with a poor memory. The anxiety was soul crushing I have never experienced anything like it so I completely relate to you. When the anxiety and panic subsided I was able to come back online a little bit. Not close to normal but better. So sorry about your Mom. Such a tragic thing to see happen to your loved ones.
OMG that is me to the tea .. I can't remember anything and so much anxiety
Omg I feel you
Thank you for talking about this I’m going through this
This video has helped me so much
Thanks for this guidance 👌
I actually was hoping you had a video on this. I am dealing with this bad lately especially today. Drove 45 minutes to therapy only to find out I never had an appt even tho I looked at It in my calendar. Looking at my calendar now I never had am appt scheduled so idk what I was thinking.. So my brain automatically jumped to Alzheimer's. . had to talk myself down from this. Thank you for this video dennis
The Anxious Mama how are you doing now?
Tammy Hammonds I'm still changing and evolving. I am learning new skill sets and and having a better time seeing things more clearly. Who I want to be, what I want to do, etc. Still tapering off of klonopin so some days are more difficult than others. Just can't wait to be completely free from these meds and start really healing my brain and body. How are you doing?
