I left the military after 11 years. I have been in “go go go” mode since I was 18. When you mentioned the constant checking of emails and doing everything fast, I realized that is how I’ve been living. It’s time to slow down and actually smell the flowers.
The fear of what's causing the anxiety symptoms keeps it alive💡 I feel like I know this, but every time I hear it, I have that light bulb moment again. So true that the desire to figure it out, to never let your guard down, so that you don't miss anything...that really is such an ingrained thing. So crazy that a hyperactive protective mechanism can have this affect. Learning to let go and trust God fully, to let go of control....that's where I'm at❤
I have lived my entire life doing things with urgency. Your words hit a cord with me today. Thank you for putting your words into the universe so they could find me. You’ve made a direct difference in my life in real time today. ❤
@TheAnxietyGuy1 Ditto here Dennis... I've been deal w severe anxiety/panic disorder ptsd since my last year in active duty in the military. Recently had a severe spinal condition surface, missed diagnosed in the military, 16 major spinal surgeries now, with 17 looming in the next cpl months. Anxiety and panic has come back 2x as bad as it did 10yrs ago. I can't tell you how greatful I am to what your doing, thank you!!
Same here! I'm turning 50 this year and that is how I've felt my entire live since being a child.. always feeling an incredible urgency and impatience, I would almost say some kind of fear of missing out if I don't keep this train running at top speed. And watching this video and reading some of the comments has been like a wakeup moment, I've never realized it before, and that this could be a root cause of my anxiety.
Not an epiphany however I am so grateful when you mention your Letting go...Surrender Sessions. For me it has been paramount for easing symptoms of anxiety, fear, guilt...any of the many symptoms that we, as health anxiety sufferers are faced with. It completely assures me that if I can feel "normal and at ease" .... non symptomatic, that I can learn to experience that feeling more and more in my daily life. Thank you again and Be Well ❤🙏
Your so helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to help us anxiety sufferers/ health anxiety people. I’m trying so hard to heal from it all now, and some days are better than others but I’m trying to move forward and people like you are making a big difference. Keep up the good work and thank you as always 🙏
Thank you for posting this even though you're under. I'm sick as well and the symptoms have intensified - opportunism by the inner child at it's finest.
Great video. I've already begun working on releasing the tension in my body, breathing properly, and (perhaps most importantly) slowing down in my daily chores. I also walk once more with an upright posture. Thanks for everything you do.
I have blurry vision, and need long distance glasses. I went to an eye test and the man was not very nice, since then ive felt anxious and its set off my HA again. I feel like i need to conquer this again. Thanks for your videos, they help ❤
My anxiety pain is just below my rib cage. I’ve tried some of your guided meditations and they really helped. Thanks for mentioning that there isn’t a quick fix-as someone who likes to get stuff done, it’s a reminder to take things slow.
Great video…I think my epiphany is as time has passed I have become afraid as much from the fear as any symptom I may have. I have understood where and when this whole mess started….when my father died at 16…it was tragic and horrible …left me in shatters. Though I thought I had done pretty good throughout my life, I realize I have merely internalized in order to show others I was ok, or normal and it became a way of life. I never wanted or want people feeling sorry for me or to worry about me. Many epiphanies actually…thank you for your calm videos 😊
The overwhelm got the better of me for thepast weeks and last weekend had a major anxiety attack. Thought of going to the ER. It's been 9 months ago since the last one. Felt like I'm going to faint, dizziness, palpitations, feet numbness, flushed face and ear. I asked for lab tests to go through from our company doctor instead. I'm relieved to know everything came out normal accdg to the GP. ECG, thyroid, glucose, lipid panel. It's not easy but these vids has been my guiding force to heal. Thank you Sir.
I work with my father and brother , we have a kind of a family business. Making registration for cars. We have a abnormally fast pace, we lack communication, so the stress is on all the time. In the past few weeks i started doing my job slower, more relaxed , and i realized from this video , what youve said, that when i was kind of speedrunning work i was feeding into the anxiety and stress also. I kind of saved every video from you, but never watch it only when im really anxious. I sleep with your affirmations, wake up with your affirmations, but the problem is i was just hearing not listening. Thank you for the help and knowledge
Very good and informative, I never thought of it that way, always tried to lessen the symptom but going into the unconscious to lessen the fear of the symptom is clever, keep making these amazing videos it really helps
Surrendering to the emotion and focusing on low and slow. Very helpful.. I thought I had this anxiousness licked, I got Covid again, and my nervous system went haywire. Back to square one😓
Super helpful as always, Dennis! I have two things to mention that I hope you may cover in the future. First, is telling the truth. I’m reading Radical Honesty now by Brad Blanton, and he says that all stress is caused by lying. I’m interested to hear how you think that relates to anxiety. Second, sex. So far, I haven’t heard any channels relate anxiety with sex, and I’m not sure if that’s because it’s unimportant, or because it’s potentially alienating to the audience. Thanks for continuing to make these great videos!
Your videos have been so informative in giving me the tools to under what is happening. The surrender session mediation is right on target and very helpful. I'm trying to understand this, my fear around a health anxiety has passed, the biopsy results were negative and continued monitoring with future ultrasounds will happen. I'm ok with this. So, why do I continue to feel this fear, even though the outcome has been positive for me? Is this where the subconscious is still at work of this perceived danger? Thanks for all your remarkable work!
Thank You for helping us it means so much to have someone that understands. My Psychologist gives advice but she didn’t have anxiety so how would she know how we feel. Scary symptoms now feels like lava in my head sometimes feeling dizzy and disconnected as if I can’t think feeling that something bad is going to happen that dread feeling From running a business to feeling like this I am worse then a kid I am serious.
Hi! Correct me if I am wrong, but the core solution provided in this video is mindfulness? That has already greatly reduced my own anxiety, but still my mind will wander. But since my awareness is greater, I am able to identify when this happens and gently guide my attention to my breathing. Even after a few years of daily practice I still find mindfulness difficult to truly master. It seems that some are able to be in a mindful state all day long. But I think this often took many years to achieve that level of mindfulness. Obviously this can vary from person to person. But it is the opposite of a quick solution, such as just taking a benzo. Even if one is not mindful all day long, 24/7, even a certain portion of their day being spent in this state is still beneficial. I just know that a certain percentage of people will be turned off when they realize that it might not be the quick fix that they are hoping for.
Thank you for the insight. The core solution in my eyes would be to align the mental, emotional and physical through the guidance of the ‘big me’ rather than ‘little me’ within us all. I can elaborate on this much more in future videos and podcasts, and it’s also important to remember that this kind of healing can often come about in many ways and usually in a way we never expected it to.
The subconscious mind can really mess with us. Awareness is key! And then letting go....I will also add that the microbiome , the gut-brain connection plays a huge role when it comes to anxiety .
Thanks for your insight Dennis. I like your perspective about reducing the fear gradually. I don’t have control of the symptoms popping up but I do have control of putting things in perspective. I don’t want to make my anxiety bigger or more dangerous than it really is
Thank you for all of your videos. Im so glad i found your channel. Learning new techniques and understanding myself just a little bit more has helped me so much. Even right this second. Thank you. 🙏
Hi Denis I have anxiety for 11 months now all sorts of symptoms most of time thinking that Iam going to faint dizzy this morning scary symptom the whole room was spinning I freaked out I am going to die thinking somethings wrong that I have to go emergency Doctors checked everything and still feeling symptoms I am not convinced it feels like someone has cursed me.
I feel this way frequently. It’s normal for many people and you’re not going to die. Our bodies don’t know whether we are in serious danger or not, and anxious thoughts, trigger our bodies to respond as if we are in actual danger. Then we overthink why we feel that way and freak out about the physical sensations we are having, and it just is like adding fuel to the fire, and it makes the sensations worse. But at the route, it is all just anxiety.
The epiphany was that it's all unconscious and I don't have to control the symptoms when they arise. They are all coming from the past which is over. I need to project the safety messages by slowing down. Thanks Dennis
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thank you so much, I watch your videos and shorts I really haven’t been having to much anxiety lately, I haven’t been taking much medication every day.. is there any tea or anything that helps more? I don’t like taking much medication,, especially now that I just found out I’m having a baby,
Hi Dennis and everyone bad day no one yo talk to. Is there any one on here to talk to. 72ys old anxiety and panic attacks since 18ys. Old age copd heart attacks cancer out can not get the stomach symptoms to go phobia of being sick.
Thank you Dennis yourvideos really helped me. Currently, I am on fluoxetine 20mg for 8 weeks now. I feel anxious and tension at the back of my head and shoulders. Do you have any advice whether I should or should not drink the antidepression tablets? Need your help. Thank you
do you have any insights on cervical instability, neck/posture type stuff? I feel like my entire adult life I have been trying to consciously hold my posture up a way that I don’t really feel inside due to self consciousness and not wanting people to ask me what’s wrong. I hate the constant subconscious awareness of my posture. I wish I could just not think about it and let my body manage it, and not worry about what people think about it. Especially since I have a funky posture. I was walking in my backyard today with my arms and head completely flopped down like I don’t care about anything and it felt so good and I felt like I was expressing my true self, and even my neck felt better after that. I’m pretty sure I messed it up by all these years but trying to look like I gave it all together in life when really I do not.
Inlet down by friends that I've known a long time that were good friends and had good character. Then not being friends for no reason. This is so hurtful and sad don't know how to overcome it....
If our subconscious mind is feeling threatened by thoughts we're not conscious of; then how can we identify those thoughts to be rid of them?? If I have anxiety supposedly, I'm not even aware of feeling anxious, though I guess it shows up in other ways. Its just weird to me. I hope you feel better soon Dennis. Take care of you.
Through meditation. The better you get at focusing inside your mind the more you clear the fog in your brain and you'll get a better understanding in what's going on inside of your mind
My anxiety seems to off come from nowhere it's affecting everything now 😭 please what do I do? Any advice of anyone who's been or going through this world be appreciated please 🙏
Percived threat number one is my nasty neabour.then threat \ anxiety gives me realy bad stomac acid.then pecived threat number two is the fear \ threat ect of the stomac acid.🤔
Hi Dennis, which surrender video was it? Also the point that stood out for me was the ridicule. I often mock the ideas but I'll definitely be trying the 'Donald Duck' voice 😂
My health is all in check, but I have hypochondria I worry about my heart a lot, because of a sensation like a heart palpitation or tight chest, I worry about if it’s athsma or a heart condition. I get numbness in my back too. It’s gotten alot better tho

love this
Get well soon ….. you have being a blessing to us all.

The fear of what's causing the anxiety symptoms keeps it alive💡 I feel like I know this, but every time I hear it, I have that light bulb moment again.
So true that the desire to figure it out, to never let your guard down, so that you don't miss anything...that really is such an ingrained thing. So crazy that a hyperactive protective mechanism can have this affect. Learning to let go and trust God fully, to let go of control....that's where I'm at❤
Amen! We gotta surrender to God and let it go. ❤
I have lived my entire life doing things with urgency. Your words hit a cord with me today. Thank you for putting your words into the universe so they could find me. You’ve made a direct difference in my life in real time today. ❤

Does anxiety make you shaky?
Very possible yes.
Pretty sure that my fear is my soul.
Best part of the video for me was to focus on my breathing more and the urgency side of things, to slow it down.
Thank you ❤
Much love.
Hi Dennis, which surrender video was it?
Also the point that stood out for me was the ridicule. I often mock the ideas but I'll definitely be trying the 'Donald Duck' voice 😂
Here is the surrender session, enjoy: ruclips.net/video/6arfMc9Aj4k/видео.htmlsi=4ftsLWaVZNQ2C8hr
I realised I'm letting my unconscious take over and make me take impulsive decisions. I need to slow down. 😊
watching this 11:11
I'm going to use my goofy voice
Thx
Love it, mine used to be Daffy and was relentless for a while.
Slow down and Breath
Yes how important it is :)
I love your videos, but the audio is very poor
First I've heard, I'll look into it more in the future :) have a blessed day.
The lack of volume in this video is giving me anxiety
Thanks for the feedback, will definitely work on this next time.
Audio is really low.
Ok
My health is all in check, but I have hypochondria I worry about my heart a lot, because of a sensation like a heart palpitation or tight chest, I worry about if it’s athsma or a heart condition. I get numbness in my back too. It’s gotten alot better tho
Nice to hear the progress, much love.
Anxiety is all B.S
I mean belief system
Nice :)
barely hear him
Turn up volume
It can be nutrition deficency, inflamation, gene mutation 🎉❤
Also hope you feel better soon ❤❤😊
Fix your volume
Really nice video! i was wondering if i could help you edit your videos and make them more engaging as well as create short content out of them.
