*Dennis is a fully certified CBT Life Coach that has helped thousands of people worldwide turn their generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) around naturally. A coach who continues to inspire people through the inspirational anxiety support podcast on iTunes.
Description: MOST anxiety gurus teach sufferers how to cope, not to end anxiety permanently. Breath... distract yourself... happy thoughts wait for it to pass.. You and I both know deep breathing and distracting yourself is not gonna work, all you're getting is band-aids to cover up the main issue.
As someone who has thousands of people overcome Generalized Anxiety Disorder, panic attacks, health anxiety and depression for many years, I want to share with you the ESSENTIAL steps to overcoming Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I can promise you with great certainty that if I can overcome Generalized Anxiety Disorder in a time period of a few months after suffering for 6 years, you most definitely can as well.
GAD affects roughly 7 million americans and is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and quite often irrational worry about normal everyday situations which is quiet disproportionate to the actual source of worry. GAD sufferers often anticipate disaster and are extremely concerned over everyday matters such as money, family problems, work issues and health issues.
GAD appears to be more common in women then men and it may be difficult to pinpoint when and how the sufferer began suffering from GAD. The anxiety and over worry habit is usually present more days then not for at least 6 months, and there is a clear association between your anxiety and at least three of the physical symptoms on this list: sweating profusely, shortness of breath, sharp pains in chest or chest discomfort, palpitations of the heart (too hard and or too fast), trembling or shaking, nausea, dizziness and lightheadedness, hot flashes, consistently startled easily, sleeping problems, lump in throat, frequent urination, headaches, and trouble concentrating.
On the surface many people with GAD appear fine and seem to be going about their day normally without much problem, they seem relaxed and calm and as it was in my case can be viewed as possibly being the last person on earth to have an anxiety problem, but again the constant turmoil is continuos in their internal life.
GAD can linger on for years and if untreated through understanding and putting into action the learned steps mentioned in this program, it can possibly become more and more difficult to get and stay on the path to recovery.
Unfortunately many people because of their desperation to end their uncontrollable symptoms of anxiety and the fear of losing control of their mind, tend to look for a quick fix in the form of abusing anti anxiety prescription pills or turn to alcohol for the answers, although these quick fix solutions may feel great at the time, the human body tends to need higher doses of prescription pills in the long run to meet the same result you had when you first started, and alcohol can greatly backfire in the long run for overly anxious people (more on this later), since panic attacks generally go hand in hand with GAD, alcohol will stop your body from working at a peak level, due to the minerals and nutrients your body needs that will now be moved to the liver to help it metabolize the alcohol faster.
If you think that the next day after drinking alcohol was bad think again, the fear of recurring physical sensations and the experiences of the morning of your hangover can greatly add to the possibility of having multiple hangovers and panic attacks in the coming days, and they are not fun I can tell you from experience. Some of the causes of GAD come from:
Genetics - Family history appears to play a role in developing GAD, chances are higher that a person will develop GAD if another family member has had the mental illness in the past.
Environmental factors - these represent a major cause of anxiety for everyone, not only those that are prone to worrying, some environmental factors include: Divorce, school, stress, birth of a baby, stress in a friendship of family relationship, work stresses, marriage, natural disaster, death of loved one, or public performance.
Neurological causes - Some evidence can be made that differences in neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) play a role in causing GAD, these are: Seratonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA). Research has also seen a positive effect over these neurotransmitters in the brain by altering them through anti depressants, but the long term side effects are just now coming forward in the form of sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, lethargy/fatigue, and vivid dreams and nightmares.

Warrior, Here's why you MUST NOT give up on yourself during your anxiety recovery: ruclips.net/video/4Uax_lZZ2Tg/видео.html
I would truly like to thank you. I'm only 15 and am dealing with GAD, it is really hard thing to deal with. This is the best video I have found to help me. Now I realized that I'm not alone and that everything I was doing to try and help was just making myself worse. So thank you.
Thank you for sharing. One of my struggles is that after years of anxiety, it is hard to imagine being free again. Meaning, it seems impossible which creates a negative and vicious cycle.
Hi man, how you doing now? ❣️
I'm going through the same shit rn and I'm hope you're doing better 4 years later :)
@ thanks for asking. Been tormented for last month. Torture
I just came back here to tell you THANK YOU!!!!! I have my life back because of your video. I still get anxiety here and there but that is nothing compared to what I was going through when i was going through the panic stage.

The Anxiety Guy how do i find the podcast?
6 years later.. any updates? Did you overcome it? Very curious:))
I am so grateful for this video. You just saved my life.. that I was just about to end.
loved this video my friend, great stuff
Just found your page. I am starting from the beginning and watch your videos in the mornings to start my day. I am 31 and my panic attacks started when I was 25. The everyday anxiety has taken over my life, I don't know where it all went wrong. I have definitely gone from a normal girl to a full blown hypochondriac, all I do is ponder on my physical symptoms (talking about it and googling) for any kind of reassurance. Thank you for your videos, I see myself in the old you!
Enjoy the channel and much love. ❤️
Hi lauren. How have you got on?
Stay strong we will all get over this
On my path to recovery... Can't say it's been easy. Going through insomnia now but this video gave me hope. Thank you!
belam1982 You're very welcome.
Thank you. I've been watching over the past few days. I'm in an anxiety "funk" that I seem to get every few years. I used to Google and read forums of people going through the same, doesn't help much... I found you Tuesday, and have been watching everyday, when I wake up, on my drive to work. (New job) I think that's what triggered this funk. Anyway, each video gives me a good push to keep going. Small victories everyday! Thank you!
Staci Simmons Forward together Staci welcome to the channel :) I also have a CBT based program that provides a step by step guide towards desensitization here: anxietyexit.com/my-program/
Thank you for this video. Ive been on anti anxiety meds for 8 years and although it helps my GAD and Panic disorder the side effects have been horrible. Ive gained 75 pounds, have low libido and constant fatigue. Spent thousands of dollars on dr visits just to be told Im completely healthy and am just dealing with mental illness. As a mother of 3 its been extremely difficult for me but Ive also realized I am the strongest person I know because even with agorophobia and nocturnal panic disorder I still live and work and drive and am there for my kids. Anxiety sucks and I feel like a fraud because Im happy on the outside but dying on the inside.

@@mrskwan3495 thanks for asking! Was a rough ride but im doing wayyyy better. Actually to be honest, i think right now is rhe healthiest/happiest ive ever been.
Self reflection, thinking objectively good sleep, working out, and caring for the people I love.
@@zalbokhalbo thats great im happy for you! I’m currently going through this sorta stuff so it helps to know people have gotten through it.
@@mrskwan3495 oh youre definitely gonna get through it. At the time, I didnt see a future, and it seemed like the depression/anxiety + physical symptoms were never gna end. But i was wrong. Youll definitely get out of it. Try getting a routine and sticking to it.
Please hit me up any time youd need to talk!
I started watching your channel a week ago and purchased your program. I am so thankful to have found you and a natural way to beat anxiety ! I am already seeing changes and feeling like a warrior everyday. thank you Dennis

I admit that i struggle with my setbacks such as today ive been having a big one but i have to know that i am stronger than this and i am not a victim.this will make me stronger although in the moments it doesnt feel that way. Patience is def. Huge
Thank you!!! Really appreciate the "reminder"... I have been doing these things but getting impatient w myself & started searching for "what I was missing"... turns out Im doing it "right" just fine tuning my personal patience. Thank you again!!
thank you so much!!. .god bless.....even m going throught GAD and m not having medication just trying and accepting it :)
+Dhruv Mehta Let me know how it goes very curious about your progress.
Thanks bro 🙏 I overworry as fck, have panic attacks sometimes. I develop new fears along the way.. it’s getting really fked up. Time to take action indeed. Comfort zone is a killer
feeling better?
@@mrskwan3495 still having ups and downs. Would say in general it's better. But I can't let myself not eating / sleeping for a day otherwise. I ll get anxious pretty quick
@@MarkOz I agree having a bad day can be rough and start the cycle all over again😔
great video dude im trying to get over this shit atm its really hard ive had anxiety for about 6-7 years
Are you better now?
He seems to have panic attacks but he does not seem to live with generalized anxiety the whole day as some of us do ... The difficult part is the constant sense of fear it last days, weeks, years and never goes away that's the part we want to know how to deal with
Henry L Mijares M Gad is curable...it all depends on ur attitude
He mentioned that he had gad
i got the same , mostly at work, i am constantly worried that someone will yell at me or be pissed at me, or something that will make me feel bad. It is always due to people
Sure i can't sleep.all time muscle pain
I too have this question.
Wow, your videos have changed so much over time
Glad to come across your channel, looking forward watching all your videos.
Mr. Rat Grateful to have you here :)
thank you! there were a lot of changes that happened in my life ... and because of those changes I moved into a situation that was obnoxious ... your video has helped me a lot to make my life and behavior normal... Thanks :)
+Megha Aggarwal So happy it has helped Megha cheers.
+The Anxiety Guy yup 😊😊
Megha Aggrawal, what's your symptoms ,sis please mention. I want to get rid of this horrible daily life.
You're explaining exactly me, I'm 25 now too. And anxiousss.
My anxiety started off the same as yours did, an irrational fear of a disastrous physical health issue such as having cancer, heart attack and so on. That was when I was young man with a family and a job, now and older retired person, I have lived with anxiety my entire life. I still have anxiety over my health but that is minor to what an untreated mental health disease can manifest itself into. I now suffer with OCD every wakening day of my life. My toughest time is in the early A.M. before getting out of bed. I will awake in a panic attack thinking about the what ifs that might happen during the coming day. As an older person now, ironically, I wish my obsessive ruminating was worrying about my health and not the other unwanted scernio’ s my mind generates which in turns forbids all joy from entering my life. I can now say if only the internet was available (RUclips) to me when I first started experiencing this mental anguish. But it is now available and I get great benefit from blogs like yours and others that talk mental health issues. My advice to someone that suffers with anxiety is to get help right away when you first realize something is not right. Believe me it won’t go away by itself. Thanks.
thank you, this is so honest and relatable. thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing your experience
You hit the nail on the head.
13 was my 1st panic attack thinking about death and since then ive been obsessed with death and riddled with intrusive thoughts,couple that with deaths of friends and family members and suicides drug overdoses,live in a world of danger and painful muscles,suicidal thoughts, self hate, life sucks 😄
Thank you! I am on my way to recovery!
First video alert ❤❤❤
This video will help me for sure!

Nicely done video! Thanks for sharing it with us
+Benjamin Franlope Thanks for watching Benjamin
The Anxiety Guy ,thank u very much,I wish u are in the some place so that I could share the details of yr Gdp
I think the most awesome advice from u is acceptance and realising that u have that disorder.
my therapy did not even mention it and I think u done a fantastic job.
I believe therapy can work, but is a long painful process for many. Thankfully some good CBT and NLP skills put together makes the difference for many who are going through the program we have.
Thank you so much for this
Very welcome, enjoy the channel.
Thanks for sharing you experiences, and what worked for you.

Before I get out of bed I feel like something is wrong. I start getting raising thoughts I feel panicked. I try to erase the thought and it gets worse. I just want to stop myself from thinking these scary thoughts all the time.

+Jennifer Sincethem :)
Thank you
I overcome my anxiety by faith in God. It is imp to be religious. It works. A positive mindset is what we think we become so, practice each day by doing yoga, meditation, and mindfulness whatever activities you do like be it eating, walking, talking, sleeping. practice one task at a time. I meant to say have some spiritual awareness. It takes time but you will overcome. The first thing is to know what u r going through. Acknowledge yourself.
Brilliant video
thx for imformation . i think my problem is wht u just said tht u kept focusing everyday about my anxiety.. sometime i feel litte good i said toy self anxiety is over then it coomes back stronger i get frustrated . i think tht whr keep my anxiety stays longer . not accepting it fully sometimes i give up . but u way is right bettre than medicatin which i tried with many side effects beside makes u addicted

I have a mix of ptsd and anxiety it has been diagnosed as generalised anxiety it all started 3 years ago when I passed out in the middle of class at school it has caused me so much anxiety that it will happen again because of (I’m sorry I can’t finish this story Im getting serious anxiety just thinking about it)
I have anxiety disorder for almost 7 or 8 months , the first week of my anxiety is the worsest part cause that week, i dont go outside of my room. Its been 7 months i think until now that i have anxiety disorder , i thought it was gone but it came back, im still having panick attacks, like the feeling of i am lost, feeling dizzy
Are you better now?
Everytime I hear something about health or anything like that … my anxiety kicks in so bad. I get nervous, anxious and highly worried. I try to ground myself plenty of times but at times it doesn’t really help. I’m currently really anxious and nervous at the moment I don’t know what to do and I hate this feeling so much it gets better and worse at times.
Are you better now?
Thank you very much.

Ok no problem
story sounds just like mine. it happened out of no where one day when i was 25. severe dpdr panic and disassociation. it has never left. was immediately prescribed xanax and prozac. prozac was a nightmare and the xanax was a life saver until it stopped working and i tried to come off of it. still suffering immensely 6 years later.
True, very similar Michelle. I know this channel and the program will go a long way towards helping your health anxiety.
The Anxiety Guy what do you mean by the program
Thank you bro... interesting story
Riziki Mashaka very welcome
Thanks. stay blessed.
I have GAD but panic attacks isn't one of my symptoms. I'm just wondering as you speak alot on panic attacks, how is your disorder different to another form of anxiety disorder being a 'panic disorder?'
Panic disorder can turn into GAD then depression if left too long. They are often comorbid.
I m feeling sleepless at noon & morning, wt the reason behind this , sometimes I feel fear & frequently toliet , less concerntration , body shaking ? pls help
Thanks for the information. I had an anxiety attack a few weeks ago and I thought I was for one thing which was going to visit the doctor. But ever since then its been a worry after worry after worry which lead to irrational beliefs that I am currently living with. Its really hard but yes I do find comfort in knowing that if its not this thing then itll be something else so it sort of gives me a peace of mind. I really would like to speak with you about this. is this possible?
also I had more than one anxiety attack and I had a panic attack in front of my mom. and I almost had one at Walmart which ended in me hitting my steering wheel. It's like there's something wrong all the time and I'm pretty good in my life so this cleared up something things. I just wanted to include this
bobby martinez Hi Bobby. Currently I've just opened up the 1 on 1 Skype sessions with me so you may sign up for those through anxietyexit.com/coaching-1-on-1/ and we can discuss.
There are a few things to try
Do Not have stimulants like alcohol and coffee
Take part in relaxing activities
Exercise often
Join a self-help group
(I learned these and more tips on Trevs panic fixer website )
I do 30 minutes of excercise a day and it definitely helps!!!
I have GAD and if there is something I should be excited about I'm nervous about it and feel like something really bad is going to happen to me. I don't really know what started it but it is really hard to deal with.
But it is possible to get over it right?
Explosive Penguins Yep. But first you must make a decision to allow yourself to not only have good and empowering thoughts again, but to allow yourself to feel good as well.
The Anxiety Guy thank you so much!
Explosive Penguins Takes conscious effort. Something most people aren't willing to do. Here for any question you mate have.
how to heal BPD?
i can never sleep at night i think about to much problems
Any recommendation on what material to read about anxiety? I am currently dealing with GAD, and I would like to gain more knowledge about it
Magnus a great place to start is through the podcasts and blog posts at www.anxietyexit.com. If you're looking for a proven CBT strategy for GAD and health anxiety you can visit the My Program menu on that web page.
Thank you so much for your fast reply and the effort you put into this
Does everyone know about Dr Clair Weeks book called Hope and Help for Your Nerves?? I know that it has been talked about on these pod cast. Also, her short videos on you tube. It is a very old book. Easy to find on Amazon. Best book ever on All Things Anxiety.
thanks for the video I resent found out I have anxiety disorder and every thing you spoke about the experience I m getting them now and I feel as doh my head want to explo, the doctor give me some anxiety pils, which did take away some of the racing thoughts but there is some side effects to it. am looking at the use of essential oils with exercise and changing my diet. you keep up the good works
Great to see these steps forward you're taking Natalie. The easy thing to do is to take a pill (Of course there are times when it's totally necessary for a person). The more difficult thing to do and something your mind and body will resist is to change certain thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety. With you every step.
Ive never had anxiety until i suffered a heart attack back in 2014 and needed 2 stents.........so now i get scared for every little symptom that warrents a heart attack so my panic attacks are super real and i get scared to death
David Krause Thanks for sharing David. Out of curiosity did you recognize any symptoms etc leading up to the attacks that were out of the ordinary?
The Anxiety Guy ...no thats the scary part...when i had my heart attack i had no of the tell tale symptoms........lots of vomiting and a weakness that is a weakness youve never felt before.....took everything I had just to dial 911 and tell the operator where i was so 2 stents later and almost 3 yrs later i still get very serious panic attacks that simply just start out of know where
I want to suggest that you see it through a new pair of lenses, the experience due to something you were neglecting, over worry in your life, taking a lesson from the lead up to it can shift the way you handle any normal bodily sensations today. Thanks again this channel will help.
The Anxiety Guy ...this could be a subject on one of your future videos as far as...what to do during a panic attack for those who in fact already had a heart attack........i feel my attacks are so serious cuz its hard to get through them cuz ofcourse i really did have a heart attack.....now its just super scary blood pressure goes through the roof,,hard to breath and at times hot sensations throughout the body
how long did you take the anti anxiety medication?
thanks !!! ☺
Does anyone else have panic attacks in their sleep?! What do I do?
I had one... That was scary! But i've got over it and i do sleep really well know! I m sure you will do to ;)
Thank you, it makes me feel better to know someone else deals/dealt with that too. 😃
I've had them when I'm sleeping or before going to sleep, middle of the night or in the morning after waking up They only last as long as your in fear I must say, Don't be scared try to Embrace it.
The reason that it is probably happening to you is because you are actually fearing the anxiety. At least that is what usually happens to me. As soon as the sun sets I think that I'm going to have an anxiety attack right before I go to sleep and, of course, it actually happens then. Just know that your body is made to breathe automatically and that you're not going to die and that sleep is actually good to cure your anxiety.
You all are amazing. Thank you so much for letting me know I'm not the only one who goes through this. You've comforted me and you have no idea how much that means to me. ❤❤❤
Whoa How similar is this my story
How does someone email you with questions or contact you for private counsel?

Good suggestion
6 years having anxiety im taking medication but still i got anxiety im tired taking medicines but my body looking for it...hoope someon help me
Are you better now?
I'm like tearing up watching your videos. My panic attack came outta nowhere watching maybe the third Game Of The playoffs (yes this recent one lol) but I was fine watching the game laying on my tummy. I had to sit up and I got a little dizzy but I was holding my chest and it felt like I couldn't breathe 😢😢😢 #WasSoScary I went to the hospital and they test me too and said they can tell I have mixed anxiety and depression. they gave me medication right away too but I was worry to take the medicine and become addicted (like Ive watched on Dr. Oz people go thru addiction) I don't want that. I'm always tryna find natural ways to fight it but I STILL don't like going outside. Its hard to practice what I heard is preached SMH I do try and it feels like at night my worries come back or even when I'm out I'm worrying 😔 I do believe my room is my comfort and worry zone. but if I can feel one ounce of myself I stay put. SMH it's hard to do the things I enjoy. My family always looked up to me being the strongest so now their worry for me. I've always battle get stronger after something bad has happened to me but This time I can't 😢 or maybe I'm drilling that negativity in my head. but watching this definitely puts perspective. I use to write in a Journal when I was going thru to depression as a kid (knowing what I know now I definitely know I was going thru it just was never diagnosed) and cuz I was a kid. I might of gotten over it easy cuz I played outside alot. Now I'm an adult it's not so easy. I just wanna say thank you for sharing this. I will have to watch again to write down your steps cause I'm ready to live my life again 💜
With you every step Martia. Enioy the podcast on iTunes as well, a great tool.
Hey Dennis I have done most of the things already myself, such as getting educated, building on facts and taking action.
But probably for the same reason as you I constantly have a slight flu.
How did you get rid of that one? Did you do anything specific or did it just go away as things improved in your life?
Chronic anxiety = chronic lowered immune systems. People don't realize the importance of going above and beyond with their diets. I started doing vitamins and mineral IV's and it improved drastically. It's just one way of getting the body back into balance.
+The Anxiety Guy
Thanks (:
Be well.
What Kind do diet would you recommend? So far I found avoiding sugar, coffee/alcohol and gluten to be the most promising....
adfa afasd it is great you are avoiding those foods. To be honest I believe it's important to take out and put in different types of foods when it comes to anxiety. But it's also very much a state of mind, how we think the food will affect us. Secondly I think minerals are key due to the salty foods most anxiety suffered crave (low adrenals from fighting all day). Himalayan sea salt is great. Beets, kale, lemon and nuts are a great mix.
I have generalized anxiety disorder and manic depression. Did u take any benzodiazepines.
Are you better now?
Denis what do you suggest to overcome health anxiety specific about Irritable bowel syndrome and worrying about the C word?
Pedro Rosado Pedro it's important to work with the mind and body daily towards health anxiety freedom. Mind meaning you need to learn how to change the meaning behind the words that create triggers within you, so that your response is a more neutral one. Working with the old thought patterns to challenge their validity, the evidence behind them, and replacing them. Body meaning your breathing patterns and posture go a long way towards lessening the rapid functioning of your fight or flight messages. Think about it like your breathing sending your mind anxious or calming signals unconsciously throughout the day. This is a good starting point and this program will go much deeper into the method towards recovery from health anxiety and GAD - anxietyexit.com/my-program/
Thanks a lot Denis. You are a true gentleman.
Pedro Rosado 🙏
I'm only 17 ,and I have GAD
Same did you overcome it?
