Dennis, you live in my head. I had to go to Walmart today to do my weekly grocery shopping. I am always rushing in, throwing things in the cart so i can hurry out of there. Its to the point where if i dont know where a specific item is in the store, ill go on the website and look the item up to see what isle its in so im not in there longer than i need to. Today, i heard you say, "take your time walking thru the store. Dont rush it. You are safe". So i smiled to myself and walked thru there like i was on a leisurely stroll. You also talk about meditation in this video. I do one hour meditation everyday. 4 x 15 minutes. Seeing myself doing the things i want to do. I also just started yesterday adding in transcendent meditation, which is nice to just sit still with no thoughts but being in the present moment. I do a gratitude meditation daily as well as part of my hour meditation. Thank you for all of the tips
Last night, I had a really bad panic attack due to my neck and back pain. I was going to go to the hospital but decided to come home because I know they really wouldnt do anything for me anyway. I will try the challenge.
Your content is fantastic. I didn't know what was wrong. Seriously I was starting dementia, heart attack, stroke. I live in a fog. I have been forcing myself to live. Thankful to have found your content.
I'm taking the Challenge! I've been having extreme anxiety while traveling either by cruise ship or flying. This weekend I'm cruising. I haven't been able to walk on a cruise ship since 2021! Anxiety is keeping me from boarding the ship! Your videos have helped me and I'm boarding a cruise ship on Friday and I'm stressing out about attempting this again but I must overcome this unfounded fear.
It's hard to getting past the intrusive ideas and moving forward! Good for you! I'm not there yet but I found a new therapist to help me move forward! Have a good cruise!
Hi dennis ! You always speak about the person who has health anxiety and wants to check everything and going back to back to drs but what about the one who does not want to go to dr at all. So avoiding dr visits due to fear of illness.and also the white coat syndroom . 🙏
Great question. This is me. Have a dental appointment later this month and need to make a doctors appointment for bloodwork that I keep putting off. Have no idea why it’s causing such crazy anxiety. I’ve done these things so many times without an issue. I’m worried about panicking there, but why? For reference, I’ve had Long Covid for 2.5 years and have dysautonomia (at least I fit the description for that and POTS). I avoid doctors like the plague.
Same here. I’ve always had health anxiety and long covid has made it worse. I find an actually calm down after I make my appointment. Let your doctor know how you are feeling…they are hearing a lot of this now.
@@green-eyed_girl88 I did end up telling the person who made my appointment and she’s going to let the hygienist know. Now my brain wants to ruminate on my b/p and heart rate being sky high due to anxiety-they check it before they work on your teeth. My rational brain is saying, “come on, it’s just the dentist-you’ve done this dozens of times! Snap out of it!” My Limbic brain is all about the ruminating and what-ifs.
I had 3 weeks of the worst anxiety. I had restless sleeps from waking up with heart palpitations, i was focusing on my breathing all day which was exhausting and i didnt think id get better. With the help of Anxiety Guys videos i can say im feeling so much better. I cant think him enough ❤
I've been suffering from GAD, panic disorder, and OCD for 2 years. I used to play video games as they were really comforting, but after a recent recovery setback, I didn't have the same feeling as before. Now, when I play video games and get excited or stimulated, I feel anxious and just exit the game
Good Morning My Dear Friend, Dennis. ❤. I'll take the challenge with you! You have done wonders for me, I'll never be able to thank you enough for all you've done. Thank you 😊 🙏
Dennis thank you for being out there for all of us I am committed to complete the challenge. Be free from all these painful thoughts and experiences of our false interpretation of ourselves I am fully afraid of driving even though I am a doing that for so much time now. The upcoming week I have a big drive to make so I can get to see my family. I am fully committed to the them, myself and you that I will do it and I will be back here with more relief
Thank you this has helped me understand its ok to rest.. i have been all this week but only today i was maken myself get up which gave me anxiety..i went back to bed felt quilty... now i know im doing the right things i havent had rest for years...🙏
What an excellent idea Dennis thank you 🙏....I hope to be able to do this challenge as well 😊...your videos are always so helpful to me and I thank you once again ...hugss from Australia 🥰
Dennis. Im really exhausted and anxious as im carrying twins. I dont want them to be a panic worrier like me.. I never was prepared for 2 kids. Now im worried about how the future will go on. Fear if finances will be sufficient, fearing if i have to miss my sleep and freedom when they arrive. Fear of losing control in my life.. 😢😢 what can i do to improve myself from the uncertainty of life
When youve lived in fight or flight for years, its scary to feel calm and relaxed how do you challenge the anxious brain on this to keep you in a normal state, rather than an over exaggerated state of tense, stressed and fear
Do you have any help 😢😢😢 for Somatic OCD/ Breathing OCD (sensorimotor) I feel so hopeless and it’s constant every second all day I feel so scared I really need help
We look forward to welcoming you into our family, the health anxiety university today. www.skool.com/health-anxiety-university/about

Humans over complicate things so much sometimes all we need is good rest and good sleep, your words Dennis
Blessings.

This also relates to other exciting situations like sexual activity, watching action movies, and other similar activities. Should I avoid them at all?
@@j_si97it does help,yeah.
Yap! I am in this. Sometimes i just feel well and there pops a day with a body pain and the mind is unstill.

Surrender, be willing to let the future be what it may.
When youve lived in fight or flight for years, its scary to feel calm and relaxed how do you challenge the anxious brain on this to keep you in a normal state, rather than an over exaggerated state of tense, stressed and fear
Permission to rest wow 😊
What’s the relationship between alcohol and health anxiety?….. alcohol makes me relax more..
How do we join the challenge? Or is it thru RUclips? Thank you ☺️
RUclips, your own time, or the health anxiety university (link in bio).
Do you have any help 😢😢😢 for Somatic OCD/ Breathing OCD (sensorimotor) I feel so hopeless and it’s constant every second all day I feel so scared I really need help
🙏
How can I watch a video you did on 26th Sept 2022?
There is no breath work link
How much time do you recommended for each?
I just found this, is there a way to find the rest of the challenge?
Check the description please.
Do you think that the full moon affects anxiety?
