@Dr Reform You're kidding me right? People wanna always focus on diet, instead of the real causes of so many problems in this world. My anxiety and anger was caused by my childhood & toxic family, not the comfort food I just ate. Typical you let families off the hook, like so many do.
Thanks you sir Denise. i feel like i have a lot in mind when i come back from work children bathing and feeding them homework have to fix dinner race against time and at the same time am very tired and irritated so all that just has my mind in hundred different places so deffinatly terrible focus and disorganized issues there
Hello, ive had anxiety for a long time,i consider myself to have a very good memory,but now ive been experiencing short term memory, i get up go to the kitchen and i just stand there trying to remember why i went to the kitchen, i go to my sons room to tell him something but when i get there i forgot what i wanted to say, i take my phone to do something but the minute my phone is on my hands, i have already forgotten what i wanted to do, this is something that happens to me but not often but now it happens everyday,it is scaring me im 30 years old
I've been suffering from health anxiety since around 18-20 years. My memory has always been really bad but now I feel it is even getting worse. I think I forget common things as for instance if I made the coffee but also a weird thing that happens to me is that I'm thinking about something and I try to test myself to remember what and I forget almost instantaneously. It's like being really tired. I'm very frightened to be suffering from dementia or Alzheimer. I don't know if I should go to the doctor but at the same time I think it is counterproductive to do so 😢 Thank you for the work you do
The fact that a guy is putting himself out there and having the courage to be vulnerable makes me so inspired and gives me joy. Generally men feel find it harder to open up about thier feelings because of the society that we live in, when some of these men are too afraid to ask for help they can become suicidal. Your channel is challenging that stigma, that is so beautiful.
I have been putting so much pressure on myself when I can't remember every little detail ugh glad I found your video God bless you will be praying for everyone who is struggling in Jesus name
Christina Ornelas words cant describe how well I know this feeling. I’ve been this way for years and it’s ruined my life in so many ways and I can never tell what’s actually happening. I have no idea what to do to fix it but just know that ur not alone and I know exactly how you feel.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been slowly recovering from an anxiety disorder for the past couple of years. I had overcome many fears over this time (depersonalization, derealization, stomach pain, heart rate issues) but I always had a maintained a lingering fear that the brain fog that I was experiencing was some sort of permanent effect of this prolonged anxious state. I thought perhaps that this was early stage Alzheimer's/dementia or something like that. After watching this video a couple of weeks ago, I was immediately relieved in knowing that this too was a common symptom of anxiety. This was key in letting go of this lingering fear and I have truly felt back to my "normal self". My brain fog has been lifted as well; the improvement occurred immediately once the stress response stopped. Just want to let anyone know who is experiencing this that any anxious symptom you are experiencing will fade away once you let go of that fear.
I have memory loss and concentration issues, I kind of knew that it was related to my anxiety, but now I'm sure, everything you said sounded like me, I'm gonna exercise myself more often, playing my acoustic guitar more often, and study my favorite languages English and German more often, and of course stop judge myself all the time. Thank you so much for this video! You got one more subscriber ;)
Same probelm memory weaknes and low concentration issues can u guide me what should i hv to do bcz this problem is making demage my life I'm just 28years plz guide i hv too much memory weaknes and concentration probelm
I just want to say I have dealt with this on and off throughout my life, exactly as he described it. Even writing this I can feel it coming back. For me the best way to deal with it is too acknowledge that it is exactly what he said it is. There is not something wrong with you, your own internal stress is causing these symptoms in yourself. Once you can accept that the next thing to do is to not worry about it. I know it is hard, but just do this. When you feel like you just forgot something or your inability to concentrate is coming back, realize it is only happening because you are letting it happen. Accept that you have that symptom and keep doing what you are doing. Once you accept that it is there it looses power to affect you. You need to ignore it and go on with what you were doing, it's hard to do but the less pressure you put on yourself to overcome and the more you accept what is happening and continue with your day the less it bugs you. Also, a big help for me was realizing this. If you were walking and a bear started chasing you (or something similarly dangerous) you would not be thinking about your stress and inability to concentrate you would do your best to escape the situation and your sole focus would be in that moment not on your anxiety. What I'm trying to say is if you can find something to focus on you will stop having these symptoms, if only for a brief period, and once you realize you just didn't have the symptoms for even a short time, it becomes easier to accept them for what they are, just symptoms.
I feel you!!! When the anxiety kicks in you can’t think of anything.. can’t even hear what the other person has to say.. all you can think of is “RUN!” “HIDE!” “YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!”... it’s quite hard but I believe l’ll overcome it and you can too!! And WE WILL!! Love you! Xoxo
Thanks for this video. Recently I've convinced myself that I have some sort of dementia/ brain problem. Went to the doctor and tests came back "normal". Still everytime I say a wrong word, everytime I read something and I don't understand it immediately or everytime I forget what I was saying the anxiety / panic feeling comes strong. I keep telling myself that I'm fine, it's just anxiety, but it's still hard. I believe better days will come, and this video helps strengthen that belief.
Ppl think I am lying when I say I just DO NOT REMEMBER things. It has ruined alot of conversations and made me feel like AM I STUPID? Y AM I NOT REMEMBERING THINGS? Thanks for this video because I myself do have excessive stress,fear and anxiety THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW ITS OKAY ILL DEF DO BETTER
Thank uou so much for this. 45 y.o. female, just went through a divorce, my healthy, memory, sleep went to hell. Once divorce is finalized i hired a councilor, physical therapist, a dietitian, went traveling to see my relatives in Europe and got back to normal. My memory still worries me, but im consistent with a diet, gym and positive thinking. I'm hoping to get my memory back 100%. I hope you are right and by controlling our anxiety we'll get our memory back ❤
I have had depression for more than a year by now. They were the most crucial days of my life. I neglected sleep and food, stopped socializing, stayed at home engaging in no real tasks during these really difficult time. Nowadays, I think more about myself than I usually did in the past years. I also seemed to develop anxiety due to the symptoms that depression produced. Inability to focus, concentrate, remember recent and past events, fatigue, foggy feeling in my head and chronic illnesses made me more concerned and caused fear that evolved in me day by day. The fear of being judged, feeling of worthlesness, fear of negligence by loved ones haunted me. My memory issues even created a fear in me that I might lose my mind completely if there is nothing I could do about it. Your speech reassured me and made me feel more confident than how I felt some minutes ago. You changed my perceptions towards my thinking. Funny how someone that I found on youtube from random google search can change the way I think! Keep doing what you're doing. The world needs your positivity and love.
Thank you Dennis. This is reassuring and helpful. My anxiety has increased lately due to some unforeseen circumstances that are out of my control. My memory and ability to hold a conversation without feeling like I'm going insane has also increased. Between the physical and emotional symptoms, I feel like I've got somethings severely wrong. Anxiety is the master mimicker. :/
I have had anxiety since I was 13 years old. It causes me to have very little confidence in myself. Recently, it has caused me to have issues in my new job. I have failed my two inspections because I can not remember everything I have to do. And the anxiety of my supervisor watching me doesn't help. I have a tendency to be very harsh on myself. I always say things like "I am stupid," "a failure," and "I hate my brain"
Is it possible to feel so lethargic, so mentally exhausted with extreme lack of focus from anxiety that you feel like your body is dying? Can anxiety get so intense that it can feel like death to the person? Just over the last year my anxiety has become so incredibly bad and just unmanageable but I'm very grateful I found this channel.
Yes it can anxiety can do a whole bunch of things to the mind. But just remember, keep living your life and have ur goal in ur mind let that be your happiness let it drive u and remember u deserve to be happy :) don’t get stuck into too many videos of health issues and shit , rule out everything by ur doctor and then u know it’s just anxiety and do ur excersize and make money you’ll b in a good place in ur life with happiness and a clear mind ,
@@exomummy1900 just wait on Jesus stay humble be like the father in loving people and stay calm and breath and go to a church of help and look for deliverance look for someone who has deep knowledge but if they ask for money you know they aren’t real
That was such a soothing video. Ive only just realised that my cognition issues were related to anxiety which made me even more anxious, you have made me feel much calmer about this. I will check out your other stuff 😊
I have amnesia. And I cant think well or use the correct words all the time. It comes and goes but something is different about me and people wont tell me why... I just can't remember things. I forget easily. And I am easily manipulated when I am under alot of stress. But I am progressing. My memory is irreparably altered but the memories are there somewhere. Takes me a long time to work out anything I forgot. It takes a very long time when I am stressed and scared. And things cling onto my memory and it makes it hard to know what happened out of all the timelines. It is hard to remember fact from fiction alot of times. And I think it is important to remember something. It's on the tip of my tongue and has been for months... like 3 to 6 weeks but I cant know for sure time is different now
I feel like i have no confidence,low mood,depression,anxiety and dementia. Its so frustrating and exhausting because i just dont know what is going on in my head. My family gene is known for mental health illness's and dementia i feel like i need to go doctors but with coronvirus i cant go doctors now. When i do go doctors i feel like the doctors are judging me as some crazy person which doesnt help and i cant explain whats going on in my head proply. Then i think its all my fault because i over think all the time. From when i wake up my head feels like its boiling and it just doesn't stop. I cant concentrate proply i have to read things over and over again.I So wish i had a new brain if anyone else is going threw this i feel your pain i hope we can be cured.and lead a normal life.
Omg.... you just described me.... this is exactly how I am feeling... I went to the doctor the other day, they told me to exercise and do breathing exercises/meditation... and to be honest I haven't been consistent so am not seeing any results right now ... furthermore my brain is too busy overthinking everything.... 🤦♀️🤦♀️ ... I get embarrassed when having a conversation and i literally forget what was said, especially on the phone. I pray to God for Healing because i dont know what to do... my mother side of family has alzheimers and am worried I do too....
I'm in a very similar place to both of you. I'm always worried about whats going on around me and can't even think clearly about what I have to do because I feel like theres something more important happening close by that I need to think about. Any little sound will pull my attention away from what im doing or thinking...also when im having a conversation Im always putting my focus on "what are people thinking and how can what im saying or what the other person is saying negatively affect me"... my thinking is so slow now because of this that Im really unorganized and I feel like I cant keep up with the people im talking to...I overthink too and always will second guess any decision i make which slows me down even more...this is absolute hell. I feel your pain and I hope we can all recover and enjoy life as it should be
Faith hope I went and had a test done to see if I was losing my mind. I passed it and I still think I’m losing my mind. That’s how terrible anxiety can be. Mine won’t let me even believe the results? Anxiety is my arch enemy.
@@dmzabo3914 i feel the same way as you i feel like a screw went out of my head i can't remember anything that just recently happened but i realized that i can remember my long term memorys whichs goes to show that the aniexty doesn't affect the long term memorys but it affects the short term memorys this gives me such relief because i can't forget about that childhood game that i use to play and my childhood friends i need them in my memory they make me who i am today a guy whos chilled and likes to have fun
This is totally relateale ...... thanks very much dear for feeling us relax......i knocked many hospitals asking about such symptoms.....but they havent any answer .....those who are fighting please dont give up ....... we will win together
I fell in love with this guy in the end of the video.. This was so relieving and relaxing for a person like me fighting anxiety for several years and it being a cause of my failures. Very few people i've seen sympathizing in such a good manner. Thankyou brother. Love from Pakistan.
Everyday I feel like things are more "foreign" it's weird and I sometimes feel like I'm in a dream. Forgetfulness and confusion come into play as well.
Thank you. Really struggling with this right now. My dad was has early onset dementia and I am a hypochondriac. I feel like my mind is slipping every day now and it is driving me insane. Had a nervous breakdown a few days ago. I am constantly ruminating every second of every day. Once I forget something I feel an adrenaline rush and that will start the downward spiral for the day until I'm white and feel like hell. Needed to hear this
I feel like you wrote exactly how I feel…. My mom was the same way only 55 and as I am getting older especially the last several months once I got tested and finding I have the carrier gene I’ve had a ton of anxiety and can’t remember anything that I did even a half hour ago. I hope it has gotten better for you and I’m sorry about your dad it is very difficult.
@@richardsondayna4064 I am better now although still dealing with a poor memory. The anxiety was soul crushing I have never experienced anything like it so I completely relate to you. When the anxiety and panic subsided I was able to come back online a little bit. Not close to normal but better. So sorry about your Mom. Such a tragic thing to see happen to your loved ones.
I have this feeling like my mind is broke, but I usually can remember things. When I do ha e a memory problem it’s as simple as did I put mustard on a sandwich or not. But I still have a scary feeling in my mind like a real uncertainty about my thinking and memory. I’m still working in convincing myself that this is just anxiety.
LampShed I relate with both of you. I get very anxious and start searching things up and most of the time dementia or alhezimer comes up and it scares me that I my problem is worst
@@Kevin-ys3el dude searching these symptoms always brings up brain degenerative diseases and it scares me but I know it's anxiety and dpdr getting better but every now and then I get scared and completely mistrust my own judgment as though it's not me thinking inside my head. This shit all fucking sucks and I can't wait for the dizziness and dpdr to just fuck off. Hopefully you're doing better now too 👍
@@Kevin-ys3el im with you. I fear as well i can even say the name of the disease i fear but you both will know.. I just want this anxiety to go and get back to living my life
same here and i also have these thoughts I overthink to much 24 hour like what if i get lost in my brain what if i forget everything like moving seeing thinking what if i pass out and i get really anxious thinking how will i move what if my brain stop working what if i can't focus or concentrate in anything what if i forget to breathe but i can really move talk and i have still past memories i didn't forget is it but whenever i think that i get really anxious is this overthinking anxiety or ocd fear thoughts?????!plz reply
Thank you for this video, I never had issues with this until I was hit by a car 3 years ago, and I thought it was because I suffered a concussion but thankfully nothing showed up in my tests. I’ve been struggling with it again lately, but I also know I have severe adrenal fatigue and my body has been stressed to the max most of my life, my sleep is horrible, I can’t handle stress, I begin to shake and cry, and now I know the memory issues have resurfaced due to my anxiety. Thank you for this video!
This is the BEST channel I have found to help me understand, cope and hopefully conquer my anxiety. One little trick that I've found that kinda helps me is to tell myself in times of health anxiety worry (which is my biggest problem... Especially the fear of Alzheimer's, which to me is the worst of all diseases😔) is that there's no point in worrying until it's diagnosed. Then I can worry, but not right now. Subconsciously what that does is tell me that I might not even have what I fear. Its very hard to consciously believe you dont have what you fear when you're struggling with Anxiety but this trick somehow bypasses my own reasoning and go to my subconscious, which works for me. Thank you so much for what you do, you are an Angel👼 in my eyes🌹
This is so insanely , having to deal with this symptom. This just started about a month ago and it’s still going . Christmas was a disaster as well as New Years . I just pray to god that I get better and thank you Dennis for this video it really sets a mind of peace to know that I’m not the only one going thru this . Been listening to your podcasts and I actually started all the way from the beginning that is dennis
Wow this hit the nail it's exactly what Its going on with me...I am a self diagnosed sufferer since teenage years....anyway I was worried thinking 24/7 I was going into dementia. Thank you for your videos!
How are you feeling now? Relapsed into stress and anxiety a little today and yesterday and feeling a bit lost. Lots of brain fog!! It just makes me feel better when I get replys from people who've recovered 😑😂😑
Elmo well I haven’t recovered yet but I feel you. I’m a teenager and I seriously sometimes can’t remember what I did yesterday. In the afternoon I feel like I’m out of it and I just don’t feel good because I’m always worrying. And then the next day when I try to remember what I did yesterday I can’t remember at all. I’m afraid I might have dementia
@@Kevin-ys3el dementia was the big one for me thought I had it early in age the brain fog was that bad. I keep freaking out about it big time for a few mins before snapping back out of it. Bran fog isn't too much of an issue for me now but I do get it every now and then haha
I'm getting to the age of driving, and I'm super stressed, and forgetful, I get yelled at because I forget things whether while driving or simply at home, it makes it worse in this time, especially while I'm worried about school and the fact of not being able to see anyone makes it worse, I'm grateful for this video, and I hope to get better, it will take a while though.
Wooooah. Thank you. This anxiety affects my job. My social relationship. But thank you, because of this vid I can feel that I am not alone. That I should make myself calm whenever experiencing panic attacks/anxiety.
Appreciate video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Rebooting Health Approach (search on google)? It is an awesome one off guide for getting rid of chronic fatigue syndrome minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
Cj weekly! yes! Same here , that’s a symptom called derealization and it’s normal for anxiety , most likely people who have anxiety experiences that all the time , I’d always get it too and if your having it just ignore it and just don’t worry or panic cause it will make it worse I did that before and it doesn’t feel good 😔 so I would just say just accept that it’s just your anxiety and it’s a symptom.
@@kaelaliim I overthink to much 24 hour like what if i get lost in my brain what if i forget everything like moving seeing thinking what if i pass out and i get really anxious thinking how will i move what if my brain stop working what if i can't focus or concentrate in anything by these i sometimes feel what if this world is fake what if good is fake what if universe is fake what if i forget to breathe but i can really move talk and i still remember all my past memories i didn't forget is it but whenever i think that i get really anxious is this overthinking anxiety or ocd fear thoughts????plz reply
wow so greatful to have found this. i lived in frequent panic for years, and waking up in the night not knowing who what or where i am. that triggers even more panic. now at least i know why 🙏👑
I'm having a bout of OCD/Anxiety/Depression & I'm finding it difficult to remember people's names,which was barely ever an issue for me throughout the 37 yrs of my life. Sometimes it takes me a day to remember close relatives/friend's or common celebrities names. This caused me to spiral further into anxiety & would seek affirmations through people and/or Google searches to ensure that it is not something serious/chronic Thankfully Sir,your video is a beacon of hope for me & I'm trying to get into terms with my brain that this is nothing but OCD/Anxiety playing its trick or facade on me as usual! May God bless you & all those struggling with these issues!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dennis you are so right about being gentle with oneself. I was getting really forgetful with my daughter's school related work and it was making me feel so guilty, but I told myself I am a human I can make mistakes sometimes and it calmed me a great deal. I have a request. I know you have talked a lot about what kind of diet helps with relieving anxiety, but I would really appreciate it if you could do a detailed diet video with giving guidelines on what type of meals to take and what to avoid etc. I will be so grateful! Thanks for all your help. :)
You sir, are very helpful. I have been under so much stress and anxiety, anxious thoughts that I cannot subside. Always worrying, fear of losing control. I have been dealing with anxiety, for a very long time. Just seems to bite me in the ass every couple years, and things end up triggering it, and I can’t always seem to get out of it easily. Dealing with it very hard right now........ it’s pretty scary.
Sir, thank you. This video speaks to me. My main issue that’s causing my depression and anxiety is how terrible my memory is, but I’m almost certain that my bad memory is linked to those 2 very reasons. I feel like if I where to get on anti depressants my mind would be able to focus on other tasks and remember more things.
I’m 15 and suffer from depression derealisation and anxiety and believe me bro , I’m feeling the same way as you , I can’t remmber anything and k other think and think it’s dementia
Dennis level of detail covered is excellent.. You are Godsend. Im in the middle of most anxious stage in my life.It's anyhow chronic for me but your videos more than anything are able to help me understand the monster.
noticed i’ll think something .. and than boom i’ll forget but it comes back like less than a minute later. but in that moment that i’m trying to remember i get frustrated and freak out because i forgot.
@@MZFiVETW000H Thanx for the prayers, they're always welcome. I watched your anxiety vid, I truly hope you are better now, I've recently experienced what you've been through, it's excruciatingly hard not to recognise the person you've been with, on my part it was a 15 years marriage, but i'm sure you can still relate, if the love was the same, the pain was probably the same. But as you say, it makes you a stronger person, and that's what keeps me going. Thank you also for the tips, I'm sure you've help alot of people by saying that. And I also wanted to let you know I find it extremely courageous what you've done, a lot of people couldn't have done it, they would have been scared of other people would think of them as weak, but it is sooo very very brave!! I hope that you've felt liberated after it was of your chest. So keep well and strong and remember what they say: Don't just go through it, grow through it. All my thought are with you, take care and keep up the good work.
Chris Verr you’re welcome! 💛 I’m hanging in there I’ve been recovering from all this nightmare. Taking my time and trying to heal the right way! Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch my video and also to reply! Means ALOT! It was very hard to show my feelings since I always been so strong and held everything in but I know by sharing things it’s possible to connect with people and help others so I appreciate what you said. Brighten my day! Especially since it’s my ex bday today it’s been rough.. I can imagine how 15 years could be such a hard hit if 5 years was hard for me. I have gained a lot of growth over this which I’m thankful in a way and also it showed me how strong I truly am. Thank you so much for the well wishes! I hope that you are feeling better 🙏🏽💛 anxiety and depression are such hard and uncomfortable things to feel. Great book is Claire Weekes in Amazon for like 6 bucks. Highly suggest it! Sending you love, peace and positivity! Be safe!
Hey man, don’t worry I’m in the same place as you , I’m only 15 and suffering with dp dr depression anxiety and ptsd and my memory feels like idk what happened ten mins ago
Absolutely amazing...👏 Dennis...excellent info. from a REAL pro.! This is the BEST explanation I've seen about this topic ...and I'm also a health professional. I'm now a fan.
Can brain fog from anxiety make you feel like your mind is perpetually slipping but it actually isn’t. I’ve had brain fog, and I believe it’s from anxiety, but I never had this until I had real bad anxiety.
I have trouble holding onto conversations cause I tend to forget what they said and what I said and it’s terrible cause I’m now at the point where I avoid all conversations with people. I exclude myself from social interactions. I’m alone and you just gave me a sense of hope that this can go away. That it’s not permanent. So I thanks you for the hope you just gave me. Thanks Dennis.
I just thought my brain was messed up! I forget things a lot. Things that are important and I should remember but I remember the wrong things. I have been forgetting my grandpa and my grandma is going away as well. I forget assignments and I forget names, things I had to eat, clothes I worn etc. My mom says it's not and issue but she says the same thing about my anxiety. Thank god I know now
Hi Dennis..Watching all your videos lately, has given me the a reinforcement in relation to acquiring the patience to follow through your amazing information, I'm live in Australia, and am currently going through a course for my anxiety and depression named MindSpot...conducted by the Macquarie university and the National Health and Medical Research Council..it's being a difficult rd..but I think I'm getting there.. thank you so much..🙏🏼💆🏼♂️😊
This video helped me feel like I’m getting better already. My first 4 months were crazy feeling better little by little ima keep on fighting this thing and ima beat it!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I’m currently 15 I’ve been suffering from anxiety since elementary as well as a period of depression Now I can’t focus as much as i need to Can’t remember names that easily And i forgot everything since 2018 except for those two or three moments in my life
Im just waking up to the fact that I have Anxiety. I had no idea. I thought it was my adhd and brain trama etc etc etc.. but I've been learning it is my bodies stress response to like 6 trauma's in a short period time. I thought I was loosing my mind and I had a body chemical change in my hormones. I argued with my doctors then I just quit going .. then I founds some wonderful youtubers … Life is better now !! Not finished and healed , but so much better. I love that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I get to see it :) anxiety and depression are so over looked.
why m i always felling sleepy and i can not concentrate on my study(which is very imp to me) why is it happening to me? it is happening to me since 1 week
How are you now, my friend? I hope you have recovered from that... I you don't, keep calm, there will always be a solution to everything, except for death, always remember that. What you was experiencing is called brain frog and it can be caused for a lot of things, but commonly is just because of stress, lack of sleep, allergy to some food (have celiac disease and still eating gluten, for example) or, as its explained in the video, anxiety. Try first to adjust your schedule and check your sleep: you should sleep a proper amount of hours and have a sleep time to follow. Then, if this doesn't work fully, look for some ways to fight stress: do exercise, some meditation, follow the last step (improve your sleep), etc. Now, check for other symptoms... Is it your gut properly working? or have you experienced having fear or worry about lots of things? If you said yes to one question or the other, or both, then look for help based on that... You should make an appointment with a gastroenterologist, or with a therapist, or both. I don't know how to explain things decently, as you see, but the intention is what counts, right? 😂😂 Anyway, greetings, my friend 😉
I understand now that it’s my anxiety... today I was plugging in my charger in the outlet and then I rushed downstairs saying to my mom where’s my charger and she told me I placed it on my desk and then I remembered that I did plug it in🤦🏻♀️ I got so scared like how can I forget you know... but that time I had anxiety and I was thinking about a lot of things and that’s why maybe I wasn’t concentrating on the charger
Hey I’m going through this I’m scared if I’m going forget about my family that’s a big fear I’m only 16 my mom said I always forget about things she said that I always has this when u was little because I always lost my things at school and I always forget the little things
Thanks; I recently forgot to do something pretty important in my work----- and then freaked out , telling myself all kinds of negative , fearful things. You're right; we've got to take the pressure off ourselves, and accept that lapses like this come from anxiety. Re: "write it down" , This gave me the idea to start keeping a whiteboard with steps for every project written out---so that I can't forget anything crucial.. (And to be okay with needing to do that. )
Not sure if I'm suffering from memory loss, or I've just been more aware of forgetting things since I developed my brain tumor fear. I can remember what I did today, yesterday, day before, etc, but I find myself forgetting simple stuff- I forgot who directed one of my favorite movies the other day and it sent me down a spiral. Since then I find myself forgetting something when I'm about to do it, though luckily I remember after about ten seconds. Anxiety can be so convincing.
I also suffer from depression, anxiety and a memory loss/concentration difficulties. As a result I couldn’t take my exams, I got kicked out of my classes at uni. Also, I lost my interest and passion. I am going to drop out of uni coming semester, even though I study what I used to be passionate about. I used to love learning and now it’s such a struggle. Nevertheless, I have to focus on my health first. One day I’ll be be capable of going back to uni again, at least I hope so.
I am doing better, thank you! I moved away a month ago. I just needed a new start in another city. I decided for an apprenticeship and I am loving it. I am eating healthy and trying to meditate on a daily basis. I still hope to return back to uni one day but right now I am trying to get back on my feet, step by step. It‘s a long process but I can already tell that I am getting on the right path again. My head doesn‘t feel dizzy anymore. I still suffer from memory issues every now and then but it‘s getting better!
colourful mind Oh wow that's so brilliant to hear that you're getting better. I hope you'll return back to uni soon. Just keep up with your healthy eating and positive thinking x
I had to struggle to answer auto insurance claims and all the stupid questions over 2 fender benders within one month and the latest one yesterday Non my fault. Still everything you said Dennis holds true,,Anxiety is a Hell I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Oh my goodness this is what I was going through I have went to the hospital several times like asking is something wrong with me do I have something in my brain it's all just in my thoughts and my anxiety I would have panic attacks thank you thanking all the time worried about my children it just always worried I have gotten so much better
My memory, concentration, mentally clarity has really declined in the last couple of years. I dont really suffer from anxiety. Could this be due to depression?
The Anxiety Guy awe Dennis thanks so much. That means the world to me! You and the warriors on Facebook have helped me so much. Thanks for getting the group together. You're amazing❤️
For me it's a spiritual thing, we live in a physical world, "seen" the spiritual is the unseen seen, required faith, it's a lonely path, no one can experience your story, history, his story shows that some seems to show gifted attributes, you are coming from a higher power, source consciousness, it can leave you burnt out, so don't apologize or feel guilty for requiring more rest, or changing your diet to plant based foods, root plants to Ground yourself, your body is a temple, look after her and she will look after you 🙂
From my experience, I Will be lets say sitting on my room, trying to remember the homework. My brain Will be extremely slow like a laggy phone, getting stuck and forgotting what Im trying to remember. I'll get this uneasy feeling in my chest and get really anxious because I cant find the thought. It feels like my thoughts slip away and I cant catch them, and when I do, they're blank. My mother says "its the phone"
I have had health anxiety for 2 years now and it is ruining my life.Had internal vibrations, twitching, jerking....everything, you name it.I can feel my body having anxiety even before l get out of bed.The worst thing is what it does to my brain.I constantly have a feeling like l am partly drunk, not focused 😢 Sometimes my mind shuts down and momentarily cant remember how to do something l have done many times like turning on my car radio.I then go into a spiral thinking l have dementia.I even googled dementia tests and did it online, and thus gave me anxiety thinking what if l can't do it ( l had no trouble with it ) Does anyone else have these moments where your brain shuts down and you can't think how to do something familiar just briefly.Its the worst cause the second you can't think you go into panic mode and then brain really shuts down 😪😪
Yea literally everything you’re talking about is what I’ve been going through, I also done a dementia test and my results showed that I was fine, I think we have a major anxiety issue of overthinking and other not so life threatening mental illnesses, I’m pretty sure I we don’t have dementia as I’m only 15 years old so I highly doubt it would be anything like that lol we just need to try calm and the brain and focus on positive things
You’re not alone just know that, my problems only started getting worse when I actually did some research about dementia lol I’m sure it’s only gonna be like this for a few weeks or months but we can handle 💪 also have you had much sleep because lack of sleep can be another main cause of brain fog which is similar to all the symptoms we have
I've hypochondriasis and depressive illness, I'm having issues with my memories which is really taking a toll on my daily life. I get really scared that maybe it's dementia but my neurologist said that it's just anxiety but i can't keep myself from thinking that it's something serious
Does anybody have some good days after you think you found a solution for your foggy brain ? You are optimistic, everything is good because now you think that that was the problem, but after couple of days everything is back to normal ? I belive that it's because my anxiety kicks back again so the sympthoms of foggy brain return.
Can severe anxiety cause frequent speech errors? I don't mean like, only when in front of crowds or put on the spot but just...due to prolonged stress? I have been stressed a lot lately and every other sentence i put out ends up containing some muffed up word like... "Do you want to go to St Tinvtents? I mean ...Vincent's", "fair" instead of "fail", mashing two words, accidently omitting consonants, or finding strung out sentences with long words elicits tongue twisters. I don't have this issue if I am reading out loud really. Actually, my average reading speed out loud is 200 wpm (50 more than average)...but my spontaneous verbalization is faulty lately, as well as my typing... to an extent (maybe how I construct sentences as well). Anyway, can anxiety really do that ?

@Dr Reform You're kidding me right? People wanna always focus on diet, instead of the real causes of so many problems in this world. My anxiety and anger was caused by my childhood & toxic family, not the comfort food I just ate. Typical you let families off the hook, like so many do.
Thanks you sir Denise. i feel like i have a lot in mind when i come back from work children bathing and feeding them homework have to fix dinner race against time and at the same time am very tired and irritated so all that just has my mind in hundred different places so deffinatly terrible focus and disorganized issues there
You are a great person. thank you. You helped me.
Hello, ive had anxiety for a long time,i consider myself to have a very good memory,but now ive been experiencing short term memory, i get up go to the kitchen and i just stand there trying to remember why i went to the kitchen, i go to my sons room to tell him something but when i get there i forgot what i wanted to say, i take my phone to do something but the minute my phone is on my hands, i have already forgotten what i wanted to do, this is something that happens to me but not often but now it happens everyday,it is scaring me im 30 years old
I've been suffering from health anxiety since around 18-20 years.
My memory has always been really bad but now I feel it is even getting worse. I think I forget common things as for instance if I made the coffee but also a weird thing that happens to me is that I'm thinking about something and I try to test myself to remember what and I forget almost instantaneously. It's like being really tired. I'm very frightened to be suffering from dementia or Alzheimer.
I don't know if I should go to the doctor but at the same time I think it is counterproductive to do so 😢 Thank you for the work you do
This is so relatable! Dealing with anxiety is so terrible 😭 I'm a student and I literally cannot concentrate or remember anything.
Be brave my brother we will fight with it and get rid of it be confidential my brother it is a temporary issue it will b okey everything
How r u now brother
I shake I'm nervous at everything I grew up shaking my whole life 😔
How are you brother
The same here.
The fact that a guy is putting himself out there and having the courage to be vulnerable makes me so inspired and gives me joy. Generally men feel find it harder to open up about thier feelings because of the society that we live in, when some of these men are too afraid to ask for help they can become suicidal. Your channel is challenging that stigma, that is so beautiful.
I find the main reason men hold back emotions is becsuse women are not comfortable with men having emotions such as anger
I have been putting so much pressure on myself when I can't remember every little detail ugh glad I found your video God bless you will be praying for everyone who is struggling in Jesus name
Same I am struggling with this
9 months late but ugh same and it sucks
are you doing better tho?
@@moonishiri are you doing better?
I'm going through the same thing. And I start scaring myself. How is everyone doin now?
same here I hate it so much drives my crazy
sometimes I don't know if my lack of concentration is due to anxiety or Adhd or what. Ugh. I'd like a new brain.
Then you'd be a new person.
Oh god wouldn't we all 😂
Smoke a joint.
Christina Ornelas words cant describe how well I know this feeling. I’ve been this way for years and it’s ruined my life in so many ways and I can never tell what’s actually happening. I have no idea what to do to fix it but just know that ur not alone and I know exactly how you feel.
Same here..i have no clue about anything in my life...everythng is confusing
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been slowly recovering from an anxiety disorder for the past couple of years. I had overcome many fears over this time (depersonalization, derealization, stomach pain, heart rate issues) but I always had a maintained a lingering fear that the brain fog that I was experiencing was some sort of permanent effect of this prolonged anxious state. I thought perhaps that this was early stage Alzheimer's/dementia or something like that. After watching this video a couple of weeks ago, I was immediately relieved in knowing that this too was a common symptom of anxiety. This was key in letting go of this lingering fear and I have truly felt back to my "normal self". My brain fog has been lifted as well; the improvement occurred immediately once the stress response stopped. Just want to let anyone know who is experiencing this that any anxious symptom you are experiencing will fade away once you let go of that fear.
Same here bro
I have memory loss and concentration issues, I kind of knew that it was related to my anxiety, but now I'm sure, everything you said sounded like me, I'm gonna exercise myself more often, playing my acoustic guitar more often, and study my favorite languages English and German more often, and of course stop judge myself all the time. Thank you so much for this video! You got one more subscriber ;)

This is great,I have been worried why am I so forgetful this was very reassuring that I am not going crazy and it's just another symptom Thank you!
Tracy Craig Very welcome Tracy.
The Anxiety Guy is it really just a symptom ? ... I’m scared
Tracy Craig exactly how I’ve been feeling.
I just want to say I have dealt with this on and off throughout my life, exactly as he described it. Even writing this I can feel it coming back. For me the best way to deal with it is too acknowledge that it is exactly what he said it is. There is not something wrong with you, your own internal stress is causing these symptoms in yourself. Once you can accept that the next thing to do is to not worry about it. I know it is hard, but just do this. When you feel like you just forgot something or your inability to concentrate is coming back, realize it is only happening because you are letting it happen. Accept that you have that symptom and keep doing what you are doing. Once you accept that it is there it looses power to affect you. You need to ignore it and go on with what you were doing, it's hard to do but the less pressure you put on yourself to overcome and the more you accept what is happening and continue with your day the less it bugs you. Also, a big help for me was realizing this. If you were walking and a bear started chasing you (or something similarly dangerous) you would not be thinking about your stress and inability to concentrate you would do your best to escape the situation and your sole focus would be in that moment not on your anxiety. What I'm trying to say is if you can find something to focus on you will stop having these symptoms, if only for a brief period, and once you realize you just didn't have the symptoms for even a short time, it becomes easier to accept them for what they are, just symptoms.
Feel better just listening to you
Handcraft Projects Warms my heart, enjoy the channel. ❤️
Being unable to hold a conversation is the worst of it....
I feel you man :(
I feel you!!! When the anxiety kicks in you can’t think of anything.. can’t even hear what the other person has to say.. all you can think of is “RUN!” “HIDE!” “YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!”... it’s quite hard but I believe l’ll overcome it and you can too!! And WE WILL!! Love you! Xoxo
Yes!
I have the same problem i feel ya
RubyGloom yes true
Thanks for this video.
Recently I've convinced myself that I have some sort of dementia/ brain problem. Went to the doctor and tests came back "normal".
Still everytime I say a wrong word, everytime I read something and I don't understand it immediately or everytime I forget what I was saying the anxiety / panic feeling comes strong.
I keep telling myself that I'm fine, it's just anxiety, but it's still hard.
I believe better days will come, and this video helps strengthen that belief.
I'm feeling this way and it's so scary 😨... its horrible! 😔
@@LouICE-we9tl me to,hard to read ,hard to understand what i hear even typing
Ppl think I am lying when I say I just DO NOT REMEMBER things. It has ruined alot of conversations and made me feel like AM I STUPID? Y AM I NOT REMEMBERING THINGS? Thanks for this video because I myself do have excessive stress,fear and anxiety THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW ITS OKAY ILL DEF DO BETTER

Its been 5 years. Hows is going my man?
im too having concentration problems and i just cant calm down while studying i end up reading the same thing again and not understanding much
Me too and the anxiety just gets more intense and then I end up giving up and crying haha
You are suffering from OCD( Obsessive compulsive disorder)
I was diagnosed with that.
@@MajidKhan-kq7se how are you doing right now?
Thank uou so much for this. 45 y.o. female, just went through a divorce, my healthy, memory, sleep went to hell. Once divorce is finalized i hired a councilor, physical therapist, a dietitian, went traveling to see my relatives in Europe and got back to normal. My memory still worries me, but im consistent with a diet, gym and positive thinking. I'm hoping to get my memory back 100%. I hope you are right and by controlling our anxiety we'll get our memory back ❤
Honest voice , you can tell he has been through stuff.
Goin trhu this really makes you feel like your loosing it , but ur words make a gray day light up thanks man ur awesome!
I have had depression for more than a year by now. They were the most crucial days of my life. I neglected sleep and food, stopped socializing, stayed at home engaging in no real tasks during these really difficult time. Nowadays, I think more about myself than I usually did in the past years. I also seemed to develop anxiety due to the symptoms that depression produced. Inability to focus, concentrate, remember recent and past events, fatigue, foggy feeling in my head and chronic illnesses made me more concerned and caused fear that evolved in me day by day. The fear of being judged, feeling of worthlesness, fear of negligence by loved ones haunted me. My memory issues even created a fear in me that I might lose my mind completely if there is nothing I could do about it. Your speech reassured me and made me feel more confident than how I felt some minutes ago. You changed my perceptions towards my thinking. Funny how someone that I found on youtube from random google search can change the way I think! Keep doing what you're doing. The world needs your positivity and love.
Thank you Dennis. This is reassuring and helpful.
My anxiety has increased lately due to some unforeseen circumstances that are out of my control. My memory and ability to hold a conversation without feeling like I'm going insane has also increased. Between the physical and emotional symptoms, I feel like I've got somethings severely wrong.
Anxiety is the master mimicker. :/
Lee BK It surely can be absolutely ❤️
I have had anxiety since I was 13 years old. It causes me to have very little confidence in myself. Recently, it has caused me to have issues in my new job. I have failed my two inspections because I can not remember everything I have to do. And the anxiety of my supervisor watching me doesn't help. I have a tendency to be very harsh on myself. I always say things like "I am stupid," "a failure," and "I hate my brain"
Is it possible to feel so lethargic, so mentally exhausted with extreme lack of focus from anxiety that you feel like your body is dying? Can anxiety get so intense that it can feel like death to the person? Just over the last year my anxiety has become so incredibly bad and just unmanageable but I'm very grateful I found this channel.
Yes
Yes it can anxiety can do a whole bunch of things to the mind. But just remember, keep living your life and have ur goal in ur mind let that be your happiness let it drive u and remember u deserve to be happy :) don’t get stuck into too many videos of health issues and shit , rule out everything by ur doctor and then u know it’s just anxiety and do ur excersize and make money you’ll b in a good place in ur life with happiness and a clear mind ,
I had that sense of a pain cloud in late 2019 I hope you feel better and have a great day
@@jasongillies5911 what helped you? i’m currently dealing with the same thing

That was such a soothing video. Ive only just realised that my cognition issues were related to anxiety which made me even more anxious, you have made me feel much calmer about this. I will check out your other stuff 😊
Enjoy :)
I have amnesia. And I cant think well or use the correct words all the time. It comes and goes but something is different about me and people wont tell me why... I just can't remember things. I forget easily. And I am easily manipulated when I am under alot of stress. But I am progressing. My memory is irreparably altered but the memories are there somewhere. Takes me a long time to work out anything I forgot. It takes a very long time when I am stressed and scared. And things cling onto my memory and it makes it hard to know what happened out of all the timelines. It is hard to remember fact from fiction alot of times. And I think it is important to remember something. It's on the tip of my tongue and has been for months... like 3 to 6 weeks but I cant know for sure time is different now
I feel like i have no confidence,low mood,depression,anxiety and dementia. Its so frustrating and exhausting because i just dont know what is going on in my head. My family gene is known for mental health illness's and dementia i feel like i need to go doctors but with coronvirus i cant go doctors now.
When i do go doctors i feel like the doctors are judging me as some crazy person which doesnt help and i cant explain whats going on in my head proply. Then i think its all my fault because i over think all the time. From when i wake up my head feels like its boiling and it just doesn't stop.
I cant concentrate proply i have to read things over and over again.I So wish i had a new brain if anyone else is going threw this i feel your pain i hope we can be cured.and lead a normal life.
Omg.... you just described me.... this is exactly how I am feeling... I went to the doctor the other day, they told me to exercise and do breathing exercises/meditation... and to be honest I haven't been consistent so am not seeing any results right now ... furthermore my brain is too busy overthinking everything.... 🤦♀️🤦♀️ ... I get embarrassed when having a conversation and i literally forget what was said, especially on the phone. I pray to God for Healing because i dont know what to do... my mother side of family has alzheimers and am worried I do too....
I'm in a very similar place to both of you. I'm always worried about whats going on around me and can't even think clearly about what I have to do because I feel like theres something more important happening close by that I need to think about. Any little sound will pull my attention away from what im doing or thinking...also when im having a conversation Im always putting my focus on "what are people thinking and how can what im saying or what the other person is saying negatively affect me"... my thinking is so slow now because of this that Im really unorganized and I feel like I cant keep up with the people im talking to...I overthink too and always will second guess any decision i make which slows me down even more...this is absolute hell. I feel your pain and I hope we can all recover and enjoy life as it should be
@@nickg7552 omg every exact word you just said is me. I can’t deal with all this overthinking it’s basically torture for your mind in a way
@@sculsh Exactly it's absolute torture. Wishing you all the best.
@@ophelia6287 how old are you? So many people struggle with this...
God bless you. Just listening to this has calmed me down. You are great. Thank you so much. I worry about Alzheimer’s
Faith hope I went and had a test done to see if I was losing my mind. I passed it and I still think I’m losing my mind. That’s how terrible anxiety can be. Mine won’t let me even believe the results? Anxiety is my arch enemy.
@@dmzabo3914 i feel the same way as you i feel like a screw went out of my head i can't remember anything that just recently happened but i realized that i can remember my long term memorys whichs goes to show that the aniexty doesn't affect the long term memorys but it affects the short term memorys this gives me such relief because i can't forget about that childhood game that i use to play and my childhood friends i need them in my memory they make me who i am today a guy whos chilled and likes to have fun
This is totally relateale ...... thanks very much dear for feeling us relax......i knocked many hospitals asking about such symptoms.....but they havent any answer .....those who are fighting please dont give up ....... we will win together
Its hard for me to focus on this video.
So true
I fell in love with this guy in the end of the video.. This was so relieving and relaxing for a person like me fighting anxiety for several years and it being a cause of my failures. Very few people i've seen sympathizing in such a good manner. Thankyou brother. Love from Pakistan.
Everyday I feel like things are more "foreign" it's weird and I sometimes feel like I'm in a dream. Forgetfulness and confusion come into play as well.
after my hard panic attack I felt like I was watching the world around me through a veil , mentally not visually
@Manasa Chowdary I've had it for 2 months straight? Is this common.
This is exactly me is like u hear a place that used to sound familiar and it is familiar but just sounds wierd when u hear it
Thank you. Really struggling with this right now. My dad was has early onset dementia and I am a hypochondriac. I feel like my mind is slipping every day now and it is driving me insane. Had a nervous breakdown a few days ago. I am constantly ruminating every second of every day. Once I forget something I feel an adrenaline rush and that will start the downward spiral for the day until I'm white and feel like hell. Needed to hear this
I feel like you wrote exactly how I feel…. My mom was the same way only 55 and as I am getting older especially the last several months once I got tested and finding I have the carrier gene I’ve had a ton of anxiety and can’t remember anything that I did even a half hour ago. I hope it has gotten better for you and I’m sorry about your dad it is very difficult.
@@richardsondayna4064 I am better now although still dealing with a poor memory. The anxiety was soul crushing I have never experienced anything like it so I completely relate to you. When the anxiety and panic subsided I was able to come back online a little bit. Not close to normal but better. So sorry about your Mom. Such a tragic thing to see happen to your loved ones.
had a massive panic attack yesterday, lack of sleep was a huge factor
Gwyn Likewise in my days with anxiety.
I find magnesium POWDER helps a lot with sleep😴 In glass of water just before bed
Did it go away?
I have this feeling like my mind is broke, but I usually can remember things. When I do ha e a memory problem it’s as simple as did I put mustard on a sandwich or not. But I still have a scary feeling in my mind like a real uncertainty about my thinking and memory. I’m still working in convincing myself that this is just anxiety.
Same here!! Any improvement? Whenever I notice it happen it freaks me out and makes me more anxious.

Thank you for this video, I never had issues with this until I was hit by a car 3 years ago, and I thought it was because I suffered a concussion but thankfully nothing showed up in my tests. I’ve been struggling with it again lately, but I also know I have severe adrenal fatigue and my body has been stressed to the max most of my life, my sleep is horrible, I can’t handle stress, I begin to shake and cry, and now I know the memory issues have resurfaced due to my anxiety. Thank you for this video!
How are u now ..i need help too ..same ...i feel disconnected from the reality
This is the BEST channel I have found to help me understand, cope and hopefully conquer my anxiety. One little trick that I've found that kinda helps me is to tell myself in times of health anxiety worry (which is my biggest problem... Especially the fear of Alzheimer's, which to me is the worst of all diseases😔) is that there's no point in worrying until it's diagnosed. Then I can worry, but not right now. Subconsciously what that does is tell me that I might not even have what I fear. Its very hard to consciously believe you dont have what you fear when you're struggling with Anxiety but this trick somehow bypasses my own reasoning and go to my subconscious, which works for me. Thank you so much for what you do, you are an Angel👼 in my eyes🌹
This is so insanely , having to deal with this symptom. This just started about a month ago and it’s still going . Christmas was a disaster as well as New Years . I just pray to god that I get better and thank you Dennis for this video it really sets a mind of peace to know that I’m not the only one going thru this . Been listening to your podcasts and I actually started all the way from the beginning that is dennis
Im struggling with this as well. Have you gotten better?
When no one understands us, Dennis does! Thanks for the reassurance sir!
Much love.
Wow this hit the nail it's exactly what Its going on with me...I am a self diagnosed sufferer since teenage years....anyway I was worried thinking 24/7 I was going into dementia. Thank you for your videos!
How are you feeling now? Relapsed into stress and anxiety a little today and yesterday and feeling a bit lost. Lots of brain fog!! It just makes me feel better when I get replys from people who've recovered 😑😂😑
Elmo well I haven’t recovered yet but I feel you. I’m a teenager and I seriously sometimes can’t remember what I did yesterday. In the afternoon I feel like I’m out of it and I just don’t feel good because I’m always worrying. And then the next day when I try to remember what I did yesterday I can’t remember at all. I’m afraid I might have dementia
@@Kevin-ys3el dementia was the big one for me thought I had it early in age the brain fog was that bad. I keep freaking out about it big time for a few mins before snapping back out of it. Bran fog isn't too much of an issue for me now but I do get it every now and then haha
I'm getting to the age of driving, and I'm super stressed, and forgetful, I get yelled at because I forget things whether while driving or simply at home, it makes it worse in this time, especially while I'm worried about school and the fact of not being able to see anyone makes it worse, I'm grateful for this video, and I hope to get better, it will take a while though.
Wooooah. Thank you. This anxiety affects my job. My social relationship. But thank you, because of this vid I can feel that I am not alone. That I should make myself calm whenever experiencing panic attacks/anxiety.

Appreciate video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Rebooting Health Approach (search on google)? It is an awesome one off guide for getting rid of chronic fatigue syndrome minus the headache.

im a kid and i have anxiety i feel like im losing my mind and im losing my memory and i forget always anything it's hard to remember
When i do something i think to myself " are you actually here doing this rn, is this real life"
Cj weekly! yes! Same here , that’s a symptom called derealization and it’s normal for anxiety , most likely people who have anxiety experiences that all the time , I’d always get it too and if your having it just ignore it and just don’t worry or panic cause it will make it worse I did that before and it doesn’t feel good 😔 so I would just say just accept that it’s just your anxiety and it’s a symptom.

I'm having a bout of OCD/Anxiety/Depression & I'm finding it difficult to remember people's names,which was barely ever an issue for me throughout the 37 yrs of my life. Sometimes it takes me a day to remember close relatives/friend's or common celebrities names. This caused me to spiral further into anxiety & would seek affirmations through people and/or Google searches to ensure that it is not something serious/chronic
Thankfully Sir,your video is a beacon of hope for me & I'm trying to get into terms with my brain that this is nothing but OCD/Anxiety playing its trick or facade on me as usual!
May God bless you & all those struggling with these issues!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dennis you are so right about being gentle with oneself. I was getting really forgetful with my daughter's school related work and it was making me feel so guilty, but I told myself I am a human I can make mistakes sometimes and it calmed me a great deal.
I have a request. I know you have talked a lot about what kind of diet helps with relieving anxiety, but I would really appreciate it if you could do a detailed diet video with giving guidelines on what type of meals to take and what to avoid etc. I will be so grateful! Thanks for all your help. :)
You sir, are very helpful. I have been under so much stress and anxiety, anxious thoughts that I cannot subside. Always worrying, fear of losing control. I have been dealing with anxiety, for a very long time. Just seems to bite me in the ass every couple years, and things end up triggering it, and I can’t always seem to get out of it easily. Dealing with it very hard right now........ it’s pretty scary.
Can't tell you how happy I am to have found you, your RUclips Channel, and your Podcast! Thank you ;)
Jonny P Enjoy! ❤️
I am starting a podcast and would love to interview you, would this be something you'd be up for?
Sir, thank you. This video speaks to me. My main issue that’s causing my depression and anxiety is how terrible my memory is, but I’m almost certain that my bad memory is linked to those 2 very reasons. I feel like if I where to get on anti depressants my mind would be able to focus on other tasks and remember more things.
I’m 15 and suffer from depression derealisation and anxiety and believe me bro , I’m feeling the same way as you , I can’t remmber anything and k other think and think it’s dementia
Dennis level of detail covered is excellent.. You are Godsend.
Im in the middle of most anxious stage in my life.It's anyhow chronic for me but your videos more than anything are able to help me understand the monster.
noticed i’ll think something .. and than boom i’ll forget but it comes back like less than a minute later. but in that moment that i’m trying to remember i get frustrated and freak out because i forgot.
Exactly me how do you deal with it
Thank you so much for this video, I really thought I was going down with dementia. Now I feel like you saved me .
Chris Verr same here it’s so scary to go through this. Prayers your way 🙏🏽💛
@@MZFiVETW000H Thanx for the prayers, they're always welcome.
I watched your anxiety vid, I truly hope you are better now, I've recently experienced what you've been through, it's excruciatingly hard not to recognise the person you've been with, on my part it was a 15 years marriage, but i'm sure you can still relate, if the love was the same, the pain was probably the same.
But as you say, it makes you a stronger person, and that's what keeps me going.
Thank you also for the tips, I'm sure you've help alot of people by saying that.
And I also wanted to let you know I find it extremely courageous what you've done, a lot of people couldn't have done it, they would have been scared of other people would think of them as weak, but it is sooo very very brave!!
I hope that you've felt liberated after it was of your chest.
So keep well and strong and remember what they say: Don't just go through it, grow through it.
All my thought are with you, take care and keep up the good work.
Chris Verr you’re welcome! 💛 I’m hanging in there I’ve been recovering from all this nightmare. Taking my time and trying to heal the right way! Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch my video and also to reply! Means ALOT! It was very hard to show my feelings since I always been so strong and held everything in but I know by sharing things it’s possible to connect with people and help others so I appreciate what you said. Brighten my day! Especially since it’s my ex bday today it’s been rough.. I can imagine how 15 years could be such a hard hit if 5 years was hard for me. I have gained a lot of growth over this which I’m thankful in a way and also it showed me how strong I truly am. Thank you so much for the well wishes! I hope that you are feeling better 🙏🏽💛 anxiety and depression are such hard and uncomfortable things to feel. Great book is Claire Weekes in Amazon for like 6 bucks. Highly suggest it! Sending you love, peace and positivity! Be safe!
It’s just good to know I’m not the only one going through this!☺️
Hey man, don’t worry I’m in the same place as you , I’m only 15 and suffering with dp dr depression anxiety and ptsd and my memory feels like idk what happened ten mins ago
I just found your videos and I am so glad I found a channel that is honest with mental Heath 👏 thank you
Emily Ross As real as it gets with no sugar coating whatsoever :) welcome
Absolutely amazing...👏 Dennis...excellent info. from a REAL pro.!
This is the BEST explanation I've seen about this topic ...and I'm also a health professional.
I'm now a fan.
Can brain fog from anxiety make you feel like your mind is perpetually slipping but it actually isn’t. I’ve had brain fog, and I believe it’s from anxiety, but I never had this until I had real bad anxiety.
I think I might have brain fog.also I have this weird feeling behind my right eye.
I have trouble holding onto conversations cause I tend to forget what they said and what I said and it’s terrible cause I’m now at the point where I avoid all conversations with people. I exclude myself from social interactions. I’m alone and you just gave me a sense of hope that this can go away. That it’s not permanent. So I thanks you for the hope you just gave me. Thanks Dennis.
tgReqq Slow down your speed in speech and other areas of life, take time for meditation and self love, and slowly build back your mind power friend.
Dennis thank you so much for making these video . You have truly helped me so much and continue helping me and I am so grateful !!!
I just thought my brain was messed up! I forget things a lot. Things that are important and I should remember but I remember the wrong things. I have been forgetting my grandpa and my grandma is going away as well. I forget assignments and I forget names, things I had to eat, clothes I worn etc. My mom says it's not and issue but she says the same thing about my anxiety. Thank god I know now
Thank you for posting my anxiety has been affecting my concentration and having a hard time understanding certain things. I almost want to cry 😢.
❤
Hi Dennis..Watching all your videos lately, has given me the a reinforcement in relation to acquiring the patience to follow through your amazing information, I'm live in Australia, and am currently going through a course for my anxiety and depression named MindSpot...conducted by the Macquarie university and the National Health and Medical Research Council..it's being a difficult rd..but I think I'm getting there.. thank you so much..🙏🏼💆🏼♂️😊
OMG that is me to the tea .. I can't remember anything and so much anxiety
Omg I feel you
This video helped me feel like I’m getting better already. My first 4 months were crazy feeling better little by little ima keep on fighting this thing and ima beat it!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey did you recover
@@jerrylowe8615 I’m feel like I’m at 80% bro honestly I still get sum trippy symptoms that I can’t explain but it’s way way better campare to when it started

Thanks dear for making us relax.....may god give to everything you deserve
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I’m currently 15
I’ve been suffering from anxiety since elementary as well as a period of depression
Now I can’t focus as much as i need to
Can’t remember names that easily
And i forgot everything since 2018 except for those two or three moments in my life
This is really making my life as an Uni student very hard
Im just waking up to the fact that I have Anxiety. I had no idea. I thought it was my adhd and brain trama etc etc etc.. but I've been learning it is my bodies stress response to like 6 trauma's in a short period time. I thought I was loosing my mind and I had a body chemical change in my hormones. I argued with my doctors then I just quit going .. then I founds some wonderful youtubers … Life is better now !! Not finished and healed , but so much better. I love that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I get to see it :) anxiety and depression are so over looked.
why m i always felling sleepy
and i can not concentrate on my study(which is very imp to me)
why is it happening to me?
it is happening to me since 1 week
How are you now, my friend? I hope you have recovered from that... I you don't, keep calm, there will always be a solution to everything, except for death, always remember that. What you was experiencing is called brain frog and it can be caused for a lot of things, but commonly is just because of stress, lack of sleep, allergy to some food (have celiac disease and still eating gluten, for example) or, as its explained in the video, anxiety. Try first to adjust your schedule and check your sleep: you should sleep a proper amount of hours and have a sleep time to follow. Then, if this doesn't work fully, look for some ways to fight stress: do exercise, some meditation, follow the last step (improve your sleep), etc. Now, check for other symptoms... Is it your gut properly working? or have you experienced having fear or worry about lots of things? If you said yes to one question or the other, or both, then look for help based on that... You should make an appointment with a gastroenterologist, or with a therapist, or both. I don't know how to explain things decently, as you see, but the intention is what counts, right? 😂😂 Anyway, greetings, my friend 😉
Kapil Kumar because you r in Love lol
I understand now that it’s my anxiety... today I was plugging in my charger in the outlet and then I rushed downstairs saying to my mom where’s my charger and she told me I placed it on my desk and then I remembered that I did plug it in🤦🏻♀️ I got so scared like how can I forget you know... but that time I had anxiety and I was thinking about a lot of things and that’s why maybe I wasn’t concentrating on the charger
Hey I’m going through this I’m scared if I’m going forget about my family that’s a big fear I’m only 16 my mom said I always forget about things she said that I always has this when u was little because I always lost my things at school and I always forget the little things
Thanks; I recently forgot to do something pretty important in my work----- and then freaked out , telling myself all kinds of negative , fearful things. You're right; we've got to take the pressure off ourselves, and accept that lapses like this come from anxiety. Re: "write it down" , This gave me the idea to start keeping a whiteboard with steps for every project written out---so that I can't forget anything crucial.. (And to be okay with needing to do that. )
Not sure if I'm suffering from memory loss, or I've just been more aware of forgetting things since I developed my brain tumor fear. I can remember what I did today, yesterday, day before, etc, but I find myself forgetting simple stuff- I forgot who directed one of my favorite movies the other day and it sent me down a spiral. Since then I find myself forgetting something when I'm about to do it, though luckily I remember after about ten seconds. Anxiety can be so convincing.
Baela I feel you. It happens to me and I worry so much that i might have dementia. I hope you get better.
I feel comforted that I have the same fear as you
@@axvara I have that fear too
Literally same fear here.
Thanks alot, this is the awnser that i've been looking for long. I love you so much
I also suffer from depression, anxiety and a memory loss/concentration difficulties. As a result I couldn’t take my exams, I got kicked out of my classes at uni. Also, I lost my interest and passion. I am going to drop out of uni coming semester, even though I study what I used to be passionate about. I used to love learning and now it’s such a struggle. Nevertheless, I have to focus on my health first. One day I’ll be be capable of going back to uni again, at least I hope so.
colourful mind How are you feeling now?
I am doing better, thank you! I moved away a month ago. I just needed a new start in another city. I decided for an apprenticeship and I am loving it. I am eating healthy and trying to meditate on a daily basis. I still hope to return back to uni one day but right now I am trying to get back on my feet, step by step. It‘s a long process but I can already tell that I am getting on the right path again. My head doesn‘t feel dizzy anymore. I still suffer from memory issues every now and then but it‘s getting better!
colourful mind Oh wow that's so brilliant to hear that you're getting better. I hope you'll return back to uni soon. Just keep up with your healthy eating and positive thinking x
Its a inspiration to hear this i hope i can get on the right path also
Hey, I happened to see your comment. I joined university 3 months ago, I am in a better place now and I do enjoy studying again!:)
Thank you soooo much, I have hope now! I will be listening to your video over and over again- God bless.
Allyson Farrell Love it!
You have helped me with all my symptoms you just get it. Thanks man.
i’ve never felt more understood in my life
Enjoy the channel. ❤️
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 thank you so much :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! These are much needed info and clarification for me. Very self assuring. Thank you. Thank you so much!
I had to struggle to answer auto insurance claims and all the stupid questions over 2 fender benders within one month and the latest one yesterday Non my fault. Still everything you said Dennis holds true,,Anxiety is a Hell I wouldn't wish on anyone.
My therapist told me to take it easy too. Thanks!
my short memory is at zero level ..my grades are going on a down fall..i m a medical student n cant concentratef
I'm just about to enter grad school...I'm worried! 😬 Hope things have improved!
Me too man I’m worried if I’ll ever make it as a doctor
Thank you for your video. It means so much to me. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Oh my goodness this is what I was going through I have went to the hospital several times like asking is something wrong with me do I have something in my brain it's all just in my thoughts and my anxiety I would have panic attacks thank you thanking all the time worried about my children it just always worried I have gotten so much better
Im struggling with this I can’t seem to find a solution. How are you doing?
My memory, concentration, mentally clarity has really declined in the last couple of years. I dont really suffer from anxiety. Could this be due to depression?
This video helped me so very much!!! It helps so much to know you understand and get it. Thanks for all you do❤️you're so so appreciated and loved!!!
angie Brennan Much love Angie you're such an inspiration to others on the anxiety guy Facebook page ❤️
The Anxiety Guy awe Dennis thanks so much. That means the world to me! You and the warriors on Facebook have helped me so much. Thanks for getting the group together. You're amazing❤️
angie Brennan Forward together always Angie.
You sound like a very good role model bro thankyou for your testimony....💪🏾🙏🏾💜
My pleasure
thanks for the video. i’ve been using your strategy for years. it’s helps a lot.
For me it's a spiritual thing, we live in a physical world, "seen" the spiritual is the unseen seen, required faith, it's a lonely path, no one can experience your story, history, his story shows that some seems to show gifted attributes, you are coming from a higher power, source consciousness, it can leave you burnt out, so don't apologize or feel guilty for requiring more rest, or changing your diet to plant based foods, root plants to Ground yourself, your body is a temple, look after her and she will look after you 🙂
But, employers aren't so understanding. They want you to remember everything
From my experience, I Will be lets say sitting on my room, trying to remember the homework. My brain Will be extremely slow like a laggy phone, getting stuck and forgotting what Im trying to remember. I'll get this uneasy feeling in my chest and get really anxious because I cant find the thought. It feels like my thoughts slip away and I cant catch them, and when I do, they're blank.
My mother says "its the phone"
Same situation happens to me
I’m just confused on what to do and have no idea what’s going on I forgot my lunch like what I had for lunch
I have had health anxiety for 2 years now and it is ruining my life.Had internal vibrations, twitching, jerking....everything, you name it.I can feel my body having anxiety even before l get out of bed.The worst thing is what it does to my brain.I constantly have a feeling like l am partly drunk, not focused 😢 Sometimes my mind shuts down and momentarily cant remember how to do something l have done many times like turning on my car radio.I then go into a spiral thinking l have dementia.I even googled dementia tests and did it online, and thus gave me anxiety thinking what if l can't do it ( l had no trouble with it ) Does anyone else have these moments where your brain shuts down and you can't think how to do something familiar just briefly.Its the worst cause the second you can't think you go into panic mode and then brain really shuts down 😪😪
Yea literally everything you’re talking about is what I’ve been going through, I also done a dementia test and my results showed that I was fine, I think we have a major anxiety issue of overthinking and other not so life threatening mental illnesses, I’m pretty sure I we don’t have dementia as I’m only 15 years old so I highly doubt it would be anything like that lol we just need to try calm and the brain and focus on positive things
You’re not alone just know that, my problems only started getting worse when I actually did some research about dementia lol I’m sure it’s only gonna be like this for a few weeks or months but we can handle 💪 also have you had much sleep because lack of sleep can be another main cause of brain fog which is similar to all the symptoms we have
I've hypochondriasis and depressive illness, I'm having issues with my memories which is really taking a toll on my daily life. I get really scared that maybe it's dementia but my neurologist said that it's just anxiety but i can't keep myself from thinking that it's something serious
I love you Dennis!
Does anybody have some good days after you think you found a solution for your foggy brain ? You are optimistic, everything is good because now you think that that was the problem, but after couple of days everything is back to normal ? I belive that it's because my anxiety kicks back again so the sympthoms of foggy brain return.
This was very helpful. Thanks Dennis!
Can severe anxiety cause frequent speech errors? I don't mean like, only when in front of crowds or put on the spot but just...due to prolonged stress? I have been stressed a lot lately and every other sentence i put out ends up containing some muffed up word like... "Do you want to go to St Tinvtents? I mean ...Vincent's", "fair" instead of "fail", mashing two words, accidently omitting consonants, or finding strung out sentences with long words elicits tongue twisters. I don't have this issue if I am reading out loud really. Actually, my average reading speed out loud is 200 wpm (50 more than average)...but my spontaneous verbalization is faulty lately, as well as my typing... to an extent (maybe how I construct sentences as well).
Anyway, can anxiety really do that ?
Been experiencing this !!!!!
U cured me. Thx
Please tell me brother how you get rid of this problem.I'm terribly stuck I this problem
