I just started having tingling in the bottom of my feet. Going to get a food massage soon. Used to have pins and needles in my thigh but they finally went away! I’m not trying to worry about anything anymore. But I did have fatigue and it’s most likely related to my sleep apnea, so I’m getting that checked out again. Plus,taking a vacation can relieve my fatigue too. I am trying to cure all chronic hyperstimulation. Resting my mental body is super important!

Just in general my nervous system is so amped and ramped lol. It’s helpful to know that we can overome this … I’m praying for everyone on this journey! Thanks Dennis for ur wisdom and transparency ❤

I would also suggest people with ongoing anxiety with no real external.cause look into BVD. Binocular Vision Dysfunction. It is essentially your eyes misaligned horizontally or vertically. It causes so much stress on your brain and ocular nerves resulting in your subconscious mind sending alert signals. Vertigo, migraines, anxiety, burn out, overstimulated in shops/crowds, social anxiety are all symptoms of BVD plus so many more. A Neuro optician can diagnose and prescribe prism glasses. Resources and an online questionnaire can be found on KZbin channels talking about this. Best wishes and I hope this helps someone - it has helped me immensely.

A sharp pain on my left temple. I’m like, wait, what was that? I don’t have a headache so I immediately started massaging my temple and than the over thinking began but I’m keeping myself calm, took a nap so I won’t feel it again but woke up from a nap feeling it on both temples now. Again. I’m not jumping up and down, I’m still calm but like what’s going on!? I got up and felt dizzy and my both feels tingly, my toes and fingers. Usually this would put me in panic mode but I’m controlling that part. Currently laying in bed trying to get this to pass. 😢 I hate that I go thru this.

I must say that my confusion remains regarding hyperstimulation and exercise. I’ve been reading from multiple sources that we should train vigorously when under hyperstimulation to help burn excess adrenaline off. I’ve been running and although my stamina has shot up I am still sensitized. I feel like I’m “plugged in” as you say. One thing I haven’t tried though is resting! 😂 So I guess that’s next on the list…or at least going a lot lighter. Regarding the EMFs, I’ve recently thought about that as I wear a smart watch daily but if I’m still being triggered by intrusive thoughts I guess I should look at those first before I blame the watch 😂 Thanks Dennis great video.

Try and stay present and do lots of deep breathing to regulate your nervous system. One day it will be gone. Relax as much as you can.. don’t be surprised if you come across physical challenges once your anxiety subsides.

I definately can over do it anymore like I used to years ago and it makes me really sad. The more I think about thing that worse things get, talking to myself and telling myself everything will be fine helps a lot and meditation. Thank you Dennis 7:46

This vid is so me. I dont feel as though I deserve to be okay. Seems as though without thinking it, that any good for me is going to involve suffering as well. I didnt realize til last year that i was abused as a child. It was all mental but nonetheless. Today I suffer from medical anxiety and ocd. Have done so for years but never knew the label for it. My counselor is trying to help me get to the root of it all from my early childhood. Praying for peace one day. My palpitations recurr from time to time but have been having them a bit more as of late. I wake in the morning waiting on them. Just to break this vicious cycle. Luckily I go to my primary care in a couple weeks. Hopefully she can help me with the palpitations so i can relax and focus on my mental healing. Thanks for all you do brother 👊🏻

OMG. YOU DESCRIBED EXACTLY AS I HAVE TOLD MY HUSBAND I FELT. THE FEELING OF MY FINGER IN A ELECTRICAL SOCKET. SHEEEEEZZZZZ. It's an awful feeling. Very hard to disconnect from it. I have to get almost totally alone and quite for a day or sometimes 2 to stop it!!!!

I’ve had this hyper stimulation problem for many years and the culprit is excessive exercise, stressful events and sometimes caffeine ! It’s a merry go round that sometimes ends up with me up in middle of night and next day ruined because of sleep deprivation!

I am so grateful for stumbling upon your channel, you have brought me so much peace of mind and have taught me new tricks to calm my mind and accept the symptoms for what they are. I can't thank you enough for your channel and your calm demeanor. Here is my anxiety story! I've always had general anxiety all my life, you know like being shy and nervous to talk to new people, talk in front of a group of people, sudden life changes, etc...nothing like debilitating though. I've never been concerned about my health as I'm a generally healthy person and I rarely ever go to the doctor, unless I'm like, dying. After I got sick with covid 2 years ago right at Christmas, my anxiety absolutely skyrocketed for no reason. No I wasn't scared of the virus, it wasn't any different for me than a bad cold/sore throat. I honestly 100% think covid affects your brain chemistry. One day after being sick for a week and a half but starting to recover, I just woke up with this impending doom, something is wrong feeling, for NO REASON. It scared me to death and I couldn't get away from it or control it. I had multiple panic attacks thinking I was dying or something. NEVER EVER had those thoughts or feelings before. I dealt with this feeling for months on and off, during that summer it gave me heart palpitations and PVC's for 3 days straight out of nowhere. You want to talk about fear...I thought I had a heart condition because even though I have had them before periodically, I've never had them happen consecutively ever like that. I got checked out by the cardiologist, they put a 24 hr heart monitor on me and captured many heart palpitations and told me they look perfectly normal and not to worry. EKG came back perfect, bloodwork came back perfect, blood pressure is perfect...no reason for me to be having these symptoms other than anxiety, and being overweight. So whenever I would have even just one PVC, I would immediately go into panic attack. They slowed down a lot over the last year but I still periodically get a couple, sometimes its just one, sometimes its a few in a row. They still scare me because they're so uncomfortable feeling. My symptoms have recently been changing the last couple months. I now get more muscle twitches all over my body, including my face, mouth and tongue when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I also sometimes get tingling down my arms to my fingers. I get that whole body buzzing feeling too. But none of these symptoms are constant, its just sometimes. I even had 3 days of thinking my tongue was swollen and it felt alien to my mouth, it was the weirdest thing, its fine now. So I started thinking brain cancer, MS or ALS of course because its always the worst case scenario. Now, I have had mild scoliosis all my life, so muscle twitching is not uncommon for me at all. But I hyper focus on every little symptom now, thinking its a new thing. I'm now a hypochondriac. I finally started taking 50mg of Zoloft and it has helped me so much only taking it for 3 weeks now. I've always hated taking pills for anything unless I have to, so I never tried anything like that ever before. I feel so much calmer and if I do get a symptom, my anxiety doesn't jump to a 10, its more of a 5 or 6 if that. I'm working on telling myself that its just anxiety, I am perfectly healthy and its just my mind playing tricks on me and I have the choice to just let go of the fear and experience the symptom and try to ignore it. I'm slowly getting better and dealing with it in a better way. If anyone else has experienced symptoms like these, comment below and tell me your story!

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m going through the same kind of symptoms. Buzzing all over the body, pins and needles, weak burning muscles, and it’s really driving me into a hole. You mentioned taking Zoloft. Did this help all the sensations like the buzzing go away? My dr prescribed it to me but I keep putting a hold on it, but I think I may have no choice at this point to feel better. How long were you on it for and if you stopped were the feelings completely gone once you stopped! Thanks for all your help!!

Thanks for making this video! I listened three times. It very much applies to me. I just wish I knew this stuff many years ago, but happy to be learning it now, nonetheless. I drove myself crazy with the buzzing, convinced that there was a serious problem. It’s still present, but I don’t care much these days. Really helpful, thanks Dennis.

This is so me. After tapering off several prescribed meds, almost two years ago, and experiencing terrible withdrawals, my body has never completely healed. I'm still hypersensitive and have health anxiety. Thanks for all your help! I've only been listening for a week and am starting to improve. I've ordered one of your books and may eventually do one of your programs. What a blessing you are.

For me I did not realise my ego mind was kicking in when I got to a point of feeling stuck when doing exposure work. I'd be fine and doing really well, huge progress then nothing so would feel like maybe I dont deserve to get better and I should just accept this is how my life is going to be, and i would punish myself with all this negativity because as you say it's like you don't deserve it unless you suffer. Now looking at this journey so far, I have punished myself alot and it didnt make any difference to the time spent stuck, i didnt magically become unstuck i just felt terrible about the situation and beat myself up day and night until i just stopped. That's when i became unstuck again and continued my progress. 😃👍🏻 thank you Dennis for sharing and making so much sense ❤

Block your time. Make it non-negotiable for yourself to actually show up.Even if it's just for one hour a day, you're getting yourself to go and do something. You start to build an emotional muscle of following through on what you said that you would, and that starts to build self-esteem.

Just followed every word you said and realised that I have been experiencing it all the time without realising the damage being done to my mind and finally I ended up with chronic anxiety and depression, so soothing to hear your thoughts on the recovery process Iam nearing the end of the tunnel and hope to see the light. Hyper stimulation is absolutely real and my journey so far has been challenging, Iam not giving up on my healing and hope to set myself free from the ego’s and negative stimulants, life is all from inside out and thankyou for the reassurance. God bless
