    Description: Health anxiety was something I lived with for over 6 years. It was a full day of living in hell, and there seemed to be no ending in sight. I truly new my potential, I wanted to become a professional tennis player, someone who provided inspiration and motivation for others, but health anxiety would be my biggest obstacle.
    In this powerful video I break down my days with health anxiety into 3 sections. The morning, afternoon, and evening. You'll be able to relate to what went on in these 3 parts of the day, and it will provide some valuable insight as to why you suffer from health anxiety also. One example is how most of my panic attacks happened in the afternoons, the time where it was time to shine, and talk to people. But social anxiety for me always got in the way of life as a secondary anxiety disorder.
    Life went on like this for years. Looking for a magic wand that didn't exist. Health anxiety crippled my spirituality, mentality, and my physical body. I felt lost and utterly defeated. My anxiety support team didn't know what to do. How could they really? If my anxiety support team didn't take the time to educate themselves, how could they possibly give quality feedback to a health anxiety sufferer.
    One day my brother in law wrote something on a book as I was about to leave for work. He wrote the words; "You Are A Hypochondriac." That one sentence played a big part in my health anxiety recovery. I looked at the 35 anxiety supplements, herbs and antidepressant in my cabinet differently, and instantly started narrowing them down to just 3 supplements.
    Sometime one inspirational/motivational success story can change everything. That is my goal for this anxiety guy video. To give you a deeper look into life with health anxiety, and what helped me overcome my mental health struggles.
    Please share this video with other anxiety sufferers, as I feel it will truly help other people see that there really is a way out. Visit anxietyexit.com/coaching-1-on-1/ today to begin working with me 1 on 1, and begin turning your goals and dreams for yourself into a reality.

    "I don't even know who I am anymore." Literally that one line made me cry, because it's how I feel every day. I get myself convinced I'm fine, then the next symptom starts and cycle starts all over again. I'm just so scared to let go of it all because if I do, I might ignore a "real" symtom of something. I'm just lost.

    I have been suffering from intense Health Anxiety for 15 years now. It has ruined my life and I am trying desperately to beat it. If it was just a mental thing I could but my physical symptoms are so bad all the time that I cannot focus on anything but my health. My heart is always off, my dizziness is always intense, no matter what I eat I feel awful, etc. I have been to so many doctors. If my heart would just leave me alone and my dizziness would go away I could beat my mental anxieties in one second flat. Thank you for trying to help people like us, I swear on everything that when I eventually beat this I will dedicate myself to helping others get over this. No one should live like this. No one.

      Jason Smith Hey Jason 15 years is certainly too long to be suffering from health anxiety. The realization that I had to have a clear intent, involve breaking patterns in my mind and body was essential. Many health anxiety sufferers try to will themselves to desensitization with little success. The subconscious mind needs direction and until we engage in a strategy, reverse our habits, recognize the signs in our impulses and alter the physiology change is difficult.

    Hi there.
    i can completely relate to everything from the morning to the night. 3 years ago i had a dizzy spell. I went from a bubbly person to a mental prison of what if its a tumour. Then a stroke etc. My anxiety always stems from fear of the Cancer monster. i relate to going on forums then feeling so anxious i want to run and never stop. What you have said resonated with me. I dont know if its just me but sometimes i would feel a symptom after reading about it online. Now i fear I have stomach cancer. As an intelligent person or i used to be anyway I cant believe I do this to myself. But as of now im heeding your advice. No more google ,no forums etc.
    Thank you for an awsome video

      Yes, as soon as I read about a symptom, I begin to experience them. SO FRUSTRATING! You are not alone. I have been anxiety free for about 10 months, using mediation and mindfulness to help me. However my son got recently got bitten by a dog...he is fine, but the shock of this has caused me to relapse. Hoping to get back to where I was a month ago.

    • @dale116dot7

      Yes! For me it's fear of stroke. Despite the fact that I've had five neuro exams and a couple of scans and all came back clean. Had a heart test. Clean. Cancer? Had a scan. I finally went to my GP and asked her if she thought I had health anxiety or hypochondria. Now I'm doing counselling - EMDR and CBT as well as regular massage. Health anxiety is brutal!

    Wow thanks for this video. This is totally me. I'm going to check out your podcast and try to cut down on the forums I read for matching my symptoms with other people to make myself feel better. I've suffered with health anxiety on and off for years and every time I get new symptoms I convince myself "it's something serious this time". The tension headaches just make you think you have a brain tumour and the feeling of unwell convinces you that you have cancer. It's one horrible vicious cycle that has led to depersonalization this time with short term memory confusion and feeling exhausted all the time. I do however get beacons of light and relief some evenings from it all and I feel much more relaxed. Thanks again for making this video.

I recognized that being emotionally and physically drained from my health anxiety battles from the day, led me to not caring about my battles in the evening. The white flag of surrender was held up, and the awareness as far as what to do for a full anxiety recovery plan was noticed.

    @jade_blazkowicz 4 месяца назад +1

    you have no idea how much i can finally relate to something that's connected with my state of mind right now.
    let me tell you my story:
    I'm 19 year old girl, never really cared about anything at all, i wanted to live my life as much as i can, everything was fun and i was really happy, never was much productive, i enjoyed cooking and eating food, pretty smart, could tell what's going on, enjoyed studying universe, interested in music, studied psychology, human body just out of curiosity, suddenly i had my first panic attack at night when i thought i couldn't breathe, i had my first panic attack it scared me and i thought i was dying, it was my first attack so I didn't really know what it was, i ran to my mom's bedroom and i was so scared i though i was gonna faint or die and told her to call the ambulance, that's how it started, the next day i was scared of what just happened, couldn't really tell, as time passing by, day after day noticing every single weird thing on my body and being scared what was going on now again n again, i found out i had a panic attack, but i was still scared of being sick or mentally ill it drived me crazy, i found myself a new doctor and emediately told her all my symptoms, blood reasolts said im fine, my doctor said im completely healthy, but i feel like im I'm out of my mind, like who am i? I wish i could go back when i felt strong, confident, happy, careless. but to be honest, i suffer from health anxiety for 3 weeks, i quit googling, im gonna go to see my doctor tomorrow and then i won't again unless something is really gonna be wrong, I'll find myself a psychologist (i don't want no medication tho) i never took meditation for anything, i was always the healthy strong girl, now woman, but damn the ringing in my ears, tiredness, can't think about anything positive, I can't just think how i used to, and im so mad and so sad, what happened? i miss the old me, but to be honest, this anxiety has it's benefits, i finally found work, i finally started gym, i recreated my room, and im trying to do something every single day just to stay distracted from my head and thoughts, but today was really tuff, i had beautiful day from beginning, had fun, joked around with my class mates, felt like me again then boom history class, i had panic attack and my anxiety was back again, went out for air was mad after, i was so mad and i cried because i don't know why the hell is this happening, what is the point of being more productive then ever when i don't even feel like me. my mind is still racing, used to go to bed in the morning now i go sleep at 8 cuz im just tired and nothing keeps me away from how i feel and why i feel like this, that's why ill find myself psychologist, convince myself this is my life now and that i have anxiety and i need to overcome it, i cant even eat because of the stress im gonna choke, wish me luck🙏🏻

Usually the nights are better when I lock myself and I know I don't need to go anywhere.I feel safe I guess.I was always friendly and loved to hang out with people but these days I'm in constant fear that something bad will happen.Sometimes I go to work out or for a run but I'm not always able to focus 100% on those activities as I used to.Thanks for any advice.Have a great day.

    Thank you for reaching out and helping others. I like this video because you come off very sincere and open about your thoughts on anxiety. I've been starting to do this exercise with 1-2 mins distractions (ex: reading a line or two out of a book or magazine that I'm passionate about or learning facts I've never knew before) to ease my anxiety whenever I sense it coming up. Not every person will benefit from it but taking your mind off of it for even a few mins each day will lessen your symptoms, then you begin to sense the every bit of joy your gaining from it. The trouble I made all along was not having self-worth. You should value and protect your inner worth from being shut down and ruining your mindset. Voices that dictate you should be this or you're not good enough leads you into a stagnant dark place. It's not easy it takes time to overcome. Goodluck everyone.

Hearing that a fellow sufferer is experiencing success is just what I need! I'm so glad I bought your program, and my new goal is to listen to all of your podcasts, Facebook chats, and RUclips videos! I will beat this! Thanks again, Dennis. You are living the life you were meant to live!

      The Anxiety Guy. i had a consume idea that i got a girl pregnant even tho i used protection.. Despite the fact that she moved on and got married i was overwhelm with anxiety on the thought that even had a baby by me or hidding it.. It really affected me with these delusional thoughts still believing she has my baby.. went for a year n half BELIEVINGG THIS.. is this normal.. Its constant fear thinking the what ifs.. Roomanint thought repeatedly. .. Despite that shes newly married n me using protection.. also when we stopped talking i wd see her FB n it shows her drinking alcohol partying with friends which were also indications that shes not pg.. Obviously i recognize am being peranoid.. But despite all the evidence why do i still feel fear or peranoid or goin thru what ifs thoughts.. WHY

      Because you haven't shown your mind another way of looking at these catastrophic thoughts. The mind and body are doing what it can to keep you alive and safe. Our jobs is to condition it to believe what we believe is right, almost like training a dog to sit, do tricks etc. There are many skill sets through CBT that can help with this conditioning.

    After watching a few of your videos I’m starting to get a better grasp at what I need to do personally. Ever since I was 12, I’ve been dealing with anxiety attacks and panic attacks where it just made me miserable. Ive been having slight chest pains over the past few weeks that will appear and disappear within a few seconds. But with my anxiety, it makes me think it’s still there or it could be worse. So these videos do help out a lot.

  • @hikaritakahashi9411
    @hikaritakahashi9411 6 лет назад +5

    The "What If" is a constant problem for me. I'll think of something happening that I have no control over but know the thing isn't likely to happen. I'll get scared because it gets overwhelming and I can't find a way to fight back against the thought. Then comes frustration at myself for even thinking of such a thing.
    There are times when I'm okay, then I'll look at something online, and the thought will come back, fuelled by the idea that what I saw is proof that it ( the intrusive thought) is right and anyone I talk to is wrong. I'll break out in a cold sweat, and it's like I'm being rained on by hot water while standing in cold water. There's a storm in my head, and it feels like I'm not even in reality anymore. Things that help me are pushed aside by the thoughts from pulling me out of the hole I was pushed into, and the thoughts just laugh and laugh like a snotty little kid. Then, when it feels it's hurt me enough, and only then, can I climb out of that hole and begin to recover from what it has put me through.

    WOW. I’ve dealt with anxiety since 2012, it ‘disappeared’ for a few years and would occasionally have anxiety attacks here and there, however since last year it’s crept up again. The last couple of months I quit a stressful job and decided to focus on my well being. I’ve come to realize that this is all about ‘reconditioning’ really old thought patterns and emotions. I would love to work with you/do your program and I will be saving up to do this. I can definitely use the extra guidance.

    I am laughing because I can relate SO F-ING MUCH to your story. This is exactly how I feel and hearing it from someone else who is going through it, make me realize how INSANE these thoughts are. Overthinking every little incident. Avoiding, planning, worrying, its so so sick what these thoughts we have are. I feel sick all the time because of this. Your videos are giving me so much hope. Im done living in this cage.

    @colinkurtz7839 6 лет назад

    My cousin, who I wasn’t even very close with, had passed away earlier this month from an infection-related cause. Ever since then, the thoughts, what-ifs, etc. have been consuming me and causing a great deal of stress, paranoia, and anxiety. I haven’t been myself at all for weeks, focused almost entirely on my health and these symptoms and sensations I do not recognize. Knowing how many other people experience what I have been is very reassuring. I’m not alone, and neither are you. Don’t be afraid to talk about it. Don’t be afraid to fight it either. Thank you so much for your videos, Dennis. They’ve been the biggest help recently.

  • @icon.2158
    @icon.2158 7 лет назад +3

    Hi Dennis, you are right on! I'm listening to your vids and I giggle at times because I too have experienced so many of the symptoms you mention. The fear cycle we establish and the incredible work it takes to unlearn those established fears can be intense personal work. Though I'm not out of the woods yet, I'm able to do more. I see those "cloudy breaks" far more than when this all started for me. And yes, again, YOU are right on. I've been using another website that has been of tremendous help but requires a lot of reading, with you, (note, I just found your channel this week) I love that I can see a real person who has experienced many of the crazy thoughts and feelings I've had, so I can totally relate to you. Plus, I truly appreciate your honesty, which I think makes your channel that much more special. Too many people suffer in silence because they are embarrassed of what people will think of them. That is one thing, I haven't been, when I share my story, just about everyone I talk to has experienced the same or similar yet they would never just share and that's what keeps many stuck. I will definitely be sharing your channel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your honesty and the tremendous work you are doing her. God bless you!

    This is exactly me! I've had health anxiety for 3 decades on and off but I've never really been without it 😔, just plodding through one day at a time. The one line that had me burst into tears is the 'my standards were really low' 😭. I just want to make it through the day and be a reasonable mum in the process where I don't put my anxiety on my beautiful children. It's exhausting. Currently in CBT and I know what I need to do but fear is a powerful emotion. Love to you fellow sufferers.

But i was pouring from a empty cup . And even if i wrote a postive comment to someone in the forum . The notification msg was from someone replying to the person who wrote the post with a comment like " yes my heart races to" id read it then my heart would start to race . This is why i love your channel because you can help us and you have helped me more than you will know. And ill forever love u for that.

    Dennis, you articulated exactly how I’m living right now! Although, I’m passed the ER visits part. Now I know I’m at above average health for my age. It’s the “what if’s” and “fear of fear” that’s holding me down. All this started this past spring for me, I don’t know if I can take this for 6 years. That’s impressive my friend, cause this is pure hell. Luckily for me I have a great support base of family and friends. Anyway, this video is on point how us suffers are dealing with the daily grind.

    @settledsea 7 лет назад +2

    Thank you for sharing this story Dennis. The way you describe things is spot on, I can relate a lot. My anxiety issues started in 2014 but I've really been to my darkest places these last 5 months where I was working a job I hated. I had so much stress that it triggered a relapse of me going into panic attacks that were harder to control even though I thought I had overcome them. I would go into work everyday putting on a mask and just watching the clock to when I could go home. I would have symptoms every day ranging from dizziness, racing confusing thoughts/dp, over sensation to every feeling in my body, especially stomach issues/nausea (with nausea that is the hardest thing to stop thinking about to date) Luckily I left this job that was not serving me this past week and hopefully that helps me to reclaim that lost progress and gain some of my confidence back. BUT the problem is I am still worried about how things will go in the future, next week i am starting an internship I actually want to be doing, but because I am still worried about feeling sick/nauseous at work, I'm worried I'm just going to self sabotage myself and never be able to feel confident about going to work or out anywhere else for that matter without this feeling of sickness and dread. These thoughts and worries plague me day and night, and I just don't want to live in this state the rest of my life. Something has to change.

    • @TheAnxietyGuy1
      @TheAnxietyGuy1  7 лет назад +2

      It's amazing how much anxious minded people live in the future, and completely take themselves out of the present.

Thats for your amazing feedback and i'd love to hear how your progress is going in the future.

Photography is an underrated method of dealing with anxiety because you are literally forcing yourself to observe the world and let it catch your eye, it just takes your mind off of anything else.

    I appreciate this channel so much. It seems that health anxiety is something that many people cannot understand. And I get it. From the other person's point of view, everything seems perfectly fine. But the worry, the pains, the nausea that ensues even after seeing doctors. Even after knowing it is anxiety, the symptoms try to trick you otherwise. This is a struggle that I am currently going through.

But it's important for people to know and understand it all. Let's help each other out!! I want to help end this stigma. Thanks again for this video. 💙💙
