"Stop bullying yourself into healing health anxiety" - definitely speaks to me. Since it has been going on for so long i am losing patience and just can't wait to overcome those stale patterns!
A few things that have helped me have been practicing journaling every day...writing the worst case scenarios of my health anxiety concerns and writing out all the potential outcomes, for better or worse. It helps me to get the thoughts on paper. Also mindfulness meditation to escape the worries a few moments each day using a book called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels. It helps to practice calming the mind regularly and realize we are not our thoughts or worries.
Dennis,you are literally a life saver,you are so gifted at getting the point a cross and your articulation is just essential for those of us that are so clouded with anxiety.
The progress I have made with your work is absolutely outstanding Thank you so much!
Very welcome!
I tend to get really happy and excited on days that I feel well, and then the next day the symptoms scream at me again. I can totally see how this is continuing to keep me focused on the anxiety or lack of. I am finding the busy”ness” isn’t good but sitting idle is not good for me at all. I need to have something to do even if it’s a specific time of self care, but I need to get into a routine where I am doing what needs to be done no matter how I’m “feeling”.
Seems your clarity is being enhanced, keep up the progress.
It started 4 days ago, but now despite some derealization as my only real symptom, I am not thinking about symptoms as much. I am living in the MOMENT. What you mentioned about remaining neutral is SO important. Healing is not linear. Things change all the time. We need to be in control, not let our mind run the ship. Just let it be. I am just past middle ground in my recovery. I start CBT therapy with VA on October 17 and Paroxetine is helping tremendously. STOP BULLYING into healing is right. I used to do this. I would plead with God that if He healed me, I would be even more committed to Him. That is not the right approach. The right approach is to do what you previously did EVEN IF it looks and feels different. STOP BULLDOZING our way toward healing. I wish you all the best my friends. You will get there.
Anxiety symptoms doesn't mean you have illness. It just reflects what you're thinking and how you are interpreting things around you
There we go, your reflections are appreciated.
But sometimes it does. I ignored anxiety symptoms for years because I tapered off a benzo, and all the symptoms were similar to withdrawal. I do hav e fibromyalgia, cfs/me, sleep apnea, ibs-d, low cortisol(very not safe)and malnutrition issues. If I had kept ignoring my anxiety/attributing it to wd symptoms…then I would have ended up very sick. I’m on the path to healing now with proper treatment.
But managing anxiety is crucial as well. Because it can exacerbate problems when it’s really just anxiety.
Just awesome !!! That first point completely blew me away ! Not reacting when there are no symptoms - that is just GOLD. As always - Thank you Dennis !
So very welcome and thank you for your kind words.
Nurture the inner child! My heart races and gets me all freaked out. I have dealt with anxiety my whole life.
'A health anxiety sufferer lives based on protection rather than CREATION'. That was a more than anxiety moment for me. Thank you Dennis ❤️
I need to stop begging my inner child to heal or bully it for not healing and I need to stop bulldozing myself towards healing which is depleting me. Simple, yet powerful Dennis. Gonna watch this video a few times more to gain more clarity
Isn't it crazy the more you push , the more fatigued you get drives me nuts
I am right where you are. I need to stop bulldozing
Yes, I’m always reacting rather than responding. I don’t feel like I have the ability to choose, which means that I am not using my ability to choose. I think I’m stuck in victim mode and I’m always scared. Thank you for this. I’m going to listen to it again. 💕
This made me cry - it describes my life. I don’t have anxiety symptoms as much as I have anxiety from my symptoms. I’ve had fibromyalgia for several decades and went through hell for a decade at the beginning. I got it under control but had the vaccine then got Covid last year and now I feel like I’ve gone back to the beginning. Every little stumble, ache, neuropathy, fatigue, and everything Fibro throws at me sends me into an anxiety spell as I am alone during the day and am afraid of no one being around if I should need help. I don’t know how to calm my body down and just roll with the symptoms until they pass. Thank you for your videos, I will be watching more.
So many things spoke to me in this video :
Bullying / begging symptoms to go away
Searching for answers googling and the doctors appointments it’s actually madness every single day
Creating the tension in the body and wondering why symptoms won’t go away
Needing to hire a new coach because the current one is fired it’s not working all these behaviours
Things need to be done differently they need to change
Thank you Dennis
Thank you for sharing all of this! I have health anxiety from childhood trauma from emotional abuse from a parent. I had somewhat healed when I moved out, but I allowed the parent to move back in in 2020 during the pandemic and my body reacted terribly. I am now aware that my issues are not health related and this is solely the inner child pitching a fit because it was never truly nurtured since I was a child. This has made me question everything in my life including my purpose because I was always pleasing others for approval, but when I no longer could, my identity and purpose have been completely overhauled. This has triggered panic, anxiety, depression, ptsd, etc. I’m so thankful to be aware now so that I can make changes. Now that I’m making changes a lot of unprocessed trauma is coming to the surface and I’m now able to cry and feel things I haven’t felt in years. My question is, when these emotions surface, how can I remain neutral but not stuff them like I have been?
You become the nurturing parent you craved. You shower yourself with the compassion and lack of judgment the adult loving protection you needed. You give attention as an adult to that little child who needed that. Crying can be cathartic or it can be self pity or it can be sadness or anger. It’s an expression of an emotion but you feel that emotion and feeling that simply means your human. There is nothing to suppress nothing to react to other then what am I feeling. That is why you cry. Now embrace that feeling with care and compassion and acceptance. Humans emote.
This is so me, health anxiety has plagued my life for 8 years and with your help I've been learning how to move past these moments of stress and panic. Your videos are amazing and I'm so thankful I came across you!
"Once you begin to find humor in your anxious ways you know you've come a long way"............could please do a video on this dear Dennis please..thanks for your guidance
Great suggestion! Ok I will.
I took a drive today and just cried bc its never-ending. I talked to myself as if I were writing in a journal, and this episode spoke to absolutely everything I was saying. My mind doesn't understand how to just "accept." I don't know how to get rid of fear. All I do is suppress it, try to pretend its not there, distract myself in hopes of forgetting it, or just putting on a brave face....but never once has the fear left. I want to have to attitude "oh, I have that diagnosis? Ok, well I'm just gonna be happy and live my life." How do I get THERE? How do I stop fearing death?
I once heavily suffered over the fear of death or fear of the unknown to the point of suicidal thoughts. I still from time to time have anxiety when I’m living life in an unbalanced way, but I know how to manage it in a healthy way. Know that there is hope and what you may not see is that Death is just an illusion and you can gain control back of your life by deeply questioning your own beliefs about what death and life itself even are….Like what if you knew what death was? What if it was the best thing that you could ever experience? Would you be afraid then? How would you live your life? When I started to contemplate and ask myself these deep questions rather than suppressing and running from them, that’s when I really started to get my life back. Those hat fear death are very strong lovers of life that often lack understanding due to our own neurotic tendencies. We are here to learn and surrender, not to control and profess. Understanding is how we transcend Fear. Check out the video by Actualized.org here on TH-cam. The title is called “what is death-how immortality works.” I hope this brings you the same peace it did me. ❤
Honored to be part of this program and among the first four to comment
thank you so much, what resonated with me is that health anxiety comes from stuffing your lower self away and not giving it any attention for long periods of time , until one day it is so much stronger and powerful than you, and makes you a slave to the cycle of fear/dramatization and excitement/calmness. ❤ Thank You Dennis, I love you too warrior.
Thank you for your engagement, means a lot.
Man I can't wait for the moment I wake up and that morbid low anti social brain dead mood has cleared... so I can be more like my old self instead of being on edge around people, stumbling on my words, to not be mind blank in mid conversation, to be able to engage with what's happening around me instead of living in the internal moment wrapped up in thought and feelings. Just frustrates me so much when I'm around ppl like this it makes me look so off key or like I'm 3 sheets to the wind lol for a better phrase. I really am not its just how my anxiety cripples me. Then like a miracle it's not there and I can talk and laugh and joke and socially engage with the ppl around me in life just feels such a relief.. only thing is after so many days I'm back to the inner child again and it's all there to pull me back from going forward.. maybe it is my adrenal glands not all mental illness stems from the brain. Our kidneys and adrenal glands OBVIOUSLY play a massive roll in anxiety and relating issues thanks dr very helpful and insightful 👍
I am going with same situation like I feel like I am recovered I become excited and that overwhelmed thought still creats body symptoms and I get trapped again
I went from thinking this was dorky and lame to your videos saving my life. Thank you!!!
Great to hear Sean
Wow good one ❤heading towards the middle road 😁 getting less afraid of signals hihaaa... I almost can say I become friends with the signals 😄 I engage in life I don't buldoze or fixing my healing 😊feeling so positive that I can and will do this. I definitely respond to the lower self. Talk to my inner child as a loving parent. Ty Dennis love you ❤❤❤😘🇳🇱
This is so good! I need to
listen to this everyday!!!!
All you say works! Thank you! ❤
Thank you, just whay I needed today 😄
Thank you so much for the great advice
Thank you Dennis for making things smooth for us in this journey. I have learnt so many things from you which led me to discover myself deeply. Just letting the ideas come across the mind without falling for the catastrophic meaning attached to it is what I have learnt from this video. Thank you
I have been very close to the middle but never stayed there and that is why I believe I have never fully healed. Today I instinctively lead my mind to a quiet place as my mental chatter became so loud it stopped feeling natural. I suddenly thought look at yourself objectively right now, what would you tell someone else if you could hear there thoughts and they sounded like you right now? My first reaction was be quiet. Simply being quiet ended the moment.
I am also anxious BECAUSE of weird symptoms from my body, and am afraid of going to the doctor because she might confirm that it really is something to worry about. Such a vicious circle 🙄
Thanks for another video. My HA has flared up, I've been stressed, and I think it's that. I hope. ❤️ I am finding my old patterns sneaking in, and I've got to do some self care in the form of Dennis and his amazing and healing videos.
I love the openness of this!- FINEALLY. I remember when Anxiety was one of the 5/6 major " disorders"; all to prevelant now!
Wow Dennis… you completely hit it on point with this video….there’s so many things I am doing daily. I wake up do one of your meditations to surrender/ then 5 min of yoga or power poses or tapping/ then I go for my morning walk. At the end of the day I write in my journal and release everything I wanted to say and what I felt BUT you’re right… these techniques have only gotten me to a certain point and I am still having health anxiety… I am a bit lost in how to do something else or what I should be doing…
Your surrender videos helped me to get back on a plane even if it was just an hour flight…but the fear is still somewhat there… the fear of being trapped… I think that I might be doing too much to push through health anxiety…but I am a little bit confused on what I should be doing.
I think in those situations it is healthy to feel anxiety but looking forward to the end of the flight is what powers you forward to the relief when it ends. Each time should be seen as a healing experience.
I also fear being trapped while on a plane which sucks because my oldest is in the Army and I want to fly out to see his basic training graduation but Im scared.
First! I also wanna overcome my anxiety 😢
Great episode Dennis. Q: when you say nurture and redirect, for example if I've generally got a tight chest most of the time or at least have the awareness to focus on my chest all of the time then would an example be giving myself a hug? Would be really helpful if you could provide some additional pieces on this. Thanks again for your amazing work!
Nurture and redirect..... Love it ❤ Thank you Dennis 🙏
You are so welcome
The analogy of the coach and athlete really hit hard for me. I'm a little unsure on how to do the nurturing but I'm sure I'll find my way!
thanks again dennis this video spoke to me the part u say the years of not having that rapour with our lower self also am embracing what's uncomfortable more rather than reacting thanks again
Thank you for sharing your insights it helps us all, much love.
Really connected to the part where you mentioned a part of you aka lower self being overly dramatic about symptoms. Jeez, can I relate! As always you are able to give us the tools to move forward. Love you Dennis😊!!
Love you back. ❤️
Listened to this vido again today. ...I mean really listened! There has been a lot of sadness around my area recently. I am much better able to deal with it. My lower self is not the boss anymore
Although its hard
sometimes. Thank you ❤
Thank you I needed this today
You are so welcome
This message came at a perfect time!
I’m glad it spoke to you. ❤️
Omg that was amazing, I'm trying to do what you've been saying that you.
Keep up the progress!
Thank you Dennis
It is really nurturing, to be quiet, and redirect the symptoms and old idea to a new idea. Guide the elements of anxiety, leave the place of franticness into a place of nurturing. Thank you so much for letting me believe that anxiety is not a disease. Please continue sharing your expertise as I am already tired of taking in medicines just to treat my dizziness. It is really needed to nurture rather than continue the bullying of my inner self.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts, they are valuable for others.
Great video and spot on as usual Dennis. I loved how you ended saying, "No matter where we are in this health anxiety journey right now, we're exactly where we need to be". Very comforting. It reminds me of one of my favorite Beatles lyrics..."There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.....it's easy". You channeled John Lennon! Very impressive.
Let it be ;) much love my friend.
These are the exact words I needed to hear Dennis. I had a sudden onset of tingles in lower right leg, sharp spots on my right foot and in right forearm and hand. Freaked me out even though I’ve had this some time in the past. It just sets me off into panic and castrophising
You’re on your way, time to be what you’ve been working so hard on lately Patty, it’s already in you.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thank you my friend!
I realized today I was a slave to fear and excitement when fear came I became more anxious that the calmness and peace wouldn’t come back and I would forget how to go back to peace so I would have anxiety all over again but now I just let the thoughts and symptoms pass me by I don’t think about or get my thoughts get to me I just continue to live and It worked thank you also I was dramatizing my thoughts and symptoms by being focused on them n part of not caring about them is u feel better thank you again
Very welcome and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
thanks Dennis
Yes ...I feel I need more alone time...I feel recharged. Just last weekend I had a lot going on as in a lot of people around me. Eventhough I enjoyed having them ..I felt drained. ❤
Thank you for this video. I found it helpful when you compared out anxiety to a screaming child. Usually, adults find it uncomfortable when a child screams, and they try to do everything they can to stop it from screaming. But what you need to do is to nurture it, allow it to express itself, and not try to find the solutions...
I was watching this video while my stomach was really bloated. And it is still bloated, and I don't know whether it's stress or whether I ate something bad today. But while I'm waiting for the pills to work, I'm trying to enter that middle space, allow the child to scream, and not catostrophise everything 🙌
I’m glad the video spoke to you, much love.
Yes Dennis I've had this constant war with my inner child because of child trauma any comments or advice warriors to call a truce with my inner child Dennis your my therapist in my phone thank you x
It’s so hard for me to eat because of my anxiety symptoms. I get a tightness in my throat and stomach. It happens every single day I wish I could figure out why I feel this way so I can get rid of it
Denis nice video but I don’t understand redirecting I mean where and how please give us examples thank you so much
I have read the book " Over coming anxiety" it was a great experience.
Wow!!!
It makes sense whether the symptoms are there or not. The symptoms are not in charge.
So, basically let go of the attachment to fixing. Just accept. As a Buddhist teacher once said to me, “there is neither “good,” nor “bad.”There is just “is.” Be neutral.
The middle way :)
Dennis
am going to take my father for a surgery tomorrow ...suggest me any of your content that Ibm focus on so that i should not be the slave of my lowerself ❤❤❤❤
Yes i know what ure talking about when u say stay neutral. I noticed being to low or too high (excited) didnt do me right.
Point #2 really speaks to me! I am trying to bully myself in to healing from POTS/Dysautonomia. I literally BEG my body to heal...and to heal QUICKLY! I'm not sure how to get out of this mindset. I know that this intense health anxiety is keeping me sick. How do I overcome it?
Same here, I am in a worse mental health possible and I am also stuck in this constant loop of thoughts like be quick but it is only making worse. I hate the negative thoughts and the fact these negative thoughts have the capability to turn into reality freaks me out and gives me panic attacks.
@iinferuslunitaa3169 I am so sorry! I can totally understand. It is a vicious cycle, and I wish that I could find the solution that would help.
Had a complete breakdown last week as everything has been building up with the problems in my life not having any sleep for 3 nights i just broke down in tears uncontrollable with no energy i felt drained lost my apetite and looked ill how can one get back up from the worry and thought's that are constantly there in your mind how does the mind heal
🔥🔥
Much love:
Got diagnosed with overactive thyroid problem i keep asking when will the symptoms go away,i get scared everyday an cry
🙌🙌
Blessings thank you.
Im struggling to sleep for 3 months now even if Im taking mirtazapine and quetiapine. I only get 4 hours of sleep and Im worried about my health.
I have constant restlessness, struggling to socialize with people lately my body feels weird and tenses up with chattering teeth and I just have this strong urge to escape - and I get these sudden surges of adrenaline in stomach or through my body feeling as it I’m floating can anyone relate ? Im so tired of this it feels like I’m broken it scares me so much is this hyper stimulated Nerves ?
Is there anyone here who is experiencing horizontal lines vision while reading and after image like when looking at any object it's image is saves in the eyes due to anxiety??
Instead of trying to prevent worse thing from happening, start to create health, vitality and resiliance you desire
Thank you for this.
How do you nurture a symptom? My knees feel tight. Is stretching them feeding into it?
Yes, surrender to the feeling and allow it to surface.
I am tired of fighting
Stop fighting then. :)
I am tired to please everyone
Your Audio volume is a bit low these days.
Will remember this for next time thank you.
Colon in a permanent spasm. 🥴😖
