I’m a health anxiety therapist and here are 5 things that you NEED to do to recover!

[@smkattoula45]

As a sufferer of health anxiety, I believe it stems from a much bigger issue - death anxiety. That's what we need to tackle and overcome if we want to find peace.

[@Youtubeiscool865]

Everyone lives, everyone dies. It’s going to happen, we can’t control it, and we can’t be bothered by things we can’t control. If it happened before, it’s not happening now, if you think it’s going to happen, it’s not happening now. We as humans let our intellect harm us, that’s our number one gift! Cherish it, Cherish life. Love always

[@akoaykilalamo]

As health suffer i disagree.

[@resurrectiontraining]

great point, I need to think about this myself.

[@-Zer0Dark-]

It may even be deeper than that. This past September, I made the most difficult decision of my life by leaving a years-long relationship with children involved. Literally overnight, I went from being a family man with a wife and kids to being single, alone, crashing in my childhood bedroom at my dad's house, because I have nowhere else to go. A week in, I had a panic attack so bad it put me in the hospital. Ever since, this "health anxiety" (didn't even know that was a thing) has skyrocketed, and I'm in a constant state of hypochondria. Everything is going to make me pass out, or give me a seizure, or stop my heart, or any other terrible thing that could put my life in danger or lead to death. And sure, maybe that's all a kind of death anxiety. But, it's also something else. Look at all of those worries. Notice any similarities? They're all examples of an acute lack of bodily control. A lack of control. That's the real fear. After years of stressful, anxious, (frankly) traumatic attempts to make my marriage work, and failing, and then being FORCED to make the most difficult decision to break my family apart and go my own way, and the horrible guilt that came along with that--not to mention being thrust back to my childhood room in my childhood home without a real choice in the matter--my mind fractured... because I feel out of control. Of my family, of my kids' wellbeing, of my living situation, of my life in general. I feel completely and totally out of control of my circumstances. The hypochondria and death anxieties are just a manifestation of that. Because my physical body is really the only thing I feel that I do have any level of control over, of course my anxieties are going to latch onto my health as something to obsess about. After all my other attempts failing, maybe if I can just fix this one thing (the lump, the ache, the palpitation, the dizziness, the whatever), I'll have tackled a huge problem and solved it. Solved it, like I couldn't/can't immediately solve all the others, and that'll give me some of the control I'm desperately lacking everywhere else in my life. So maybe it's a matter of not being ready to accept the fact of your mortality. But maybe, even further, there's a deeper issue you've got going on and you just haven't made the connection yet. The mind thinks in symbols and metaphors, even when we're not aware of it. If your fears still aren't going away, try looking at them to see if there are any hidden meanings you're not aware of. Hope this helps. 🫂

ALS is rare and should always be the last thing to worry, many disease have symptoms like ALS. Go to your doctor but don't worry

You are so so welcome! ❤

[@rmoh-wc9um]

to be fair i come here when i’m scared

[@redzed9405]

Your video about ALS really help me. I was blissfully living my life when i discovered about ALS, and it was just down the rabbit hole for me. Reading too much about it,forums, articles. Realizing that my muscles twitch even tho i have it years before i read about ALS, and i got really depressed. Again i had no weakness or atrophy for WEEKS AND MONTHS but I can't still stop the anxiety attack whenever my muscle twitch a bit. I got better for sometime but ALS is like a trigger word for me which i need to work on, If a TV show or ALS appear somewhere, it just trigger my bad routine and repeat the cycle. Much love from VietNam

[@redzed9405]

Muscles twitching not accompanied by actual weakness ( like you can't move heavy object even you really try) is meaninglessness. I am not a doctor but after spending way too much time reading ALS, I can say that with confidence, ofc go to your doctor if my words doesn't bring you peace of mind

[@steveelvin823]

This is me too currently and why I found these videos because I have a client with it and it’s totally spiralled me out. First time I have been so anxious and scared daily, so trying to do as @cherellethinks says and stopped googling and also trying to replace through process that I have it too. I am struggling because my client who has I have to deal with her and want to support her ( lI am her financial adviser) but everyone I work on it, I trigger and panic and have mini bursts of dread. It’s horrible 😢😰

[@marcoperez8994]

Been having a one sided headache for as long as i can remember, face always buried in a screen and sleep and hydration is always a struggle but after a nasty sinus illness from the flu season the headaches have gotten a lot more noticable, a pulsing feeling mainly on the left side of my forehead. Its a 4/10 and doesnt stop me from doing what i need to do during the day but im stuck in the brain tumor spiral, and after having a breakdown panic attack crying I found your videos and started to think differently and realized that ive been through a lot as a kid and have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Finally have an MRI scan set up soon and I pray its not my worst fears but im going to try my hardest to not let my anxiety and fears control my life when i just started to finally pick my life up 🙂

[@MokiPirates]

Everything you talked about in this video is me spot on. Currently I'm convinced I have ALS, and it's crippling me. I spend hours a day googling my symptoms and freaking out about what I find. This video is so informative. Thank you for putting out such useful content!

[@tiannatalks7391]

I had a brain bleed 3 years ago needed emergency surgery, doctors never figured out why it happened, I luckily fully recovered but dealt with severe health anxiety afterwards , it’s hard to find a balance between being aware of possible warning signs and anxiety manifesting into headaches and numbness - I’ve gotten much better recently but just gone for another check up mri after a panic attack or mini stroke who knows

I am currently going through the worst patch of health anxiety of my life. I’ve just started going to A&E and feel like because I’ve done that I can do it time and time again. Got an ultrasound on my liver to discover non-alcoholic liver disease but currently having many symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, eye floaters, dizziness. My partner and all my family are so concerned. I am currently going through everyone for reassurance and currently have a ban on my phone to search certain websites and forums to try and find what’s up with me. All I think about is going to the doctors to discuss everything. All the health professionals have said there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or sinister going on in your body. I feel nauseous all the time but also hungry. I feel like I’m letting so many people down on the way. I have therapy once a week but I just can’t stop thinking I have cancer! I watch your videos to help me understand everything and maybe gather a little bit of reassurance. I am currently off work with my mental health. Luckily I work with my family who are very understanding. Your videos are excellent and I start my real journey today.

[@deanrossiter2232]

So Glad I stumbled across you, what you are saying is spot on. I agree with what you are saying about, Stop excessively checking , googling etc and asking for reassurance. This is me to a tea. What I cannot get my head around is how to stop worrying about every little skin imperfection of tiny blip that appears on my face. I seem to get pulled into a vicious circle where I constantly get new things pop up on my face, and I automatically think the worse and the anxiety kicks in bigtime. I get checked once a year but within days I find myself in the vicious cycle where I check my face numerous times a day and panic when I see something new like a little blemish or freckle. I did have a scare during covid with something that came up on my forehead, was told by GP for 4 years it was fine then they changed their mind and sent me to a dermatologist who checked it and said it was nothing to worry about. This has now caused me to worry about everything that appears, and I cannot stop checking my face numerous times a day as asking for reassurance. Its driving me insane as I have been like this now for 4 years. Any tips woudl be greatly appreciated as I cant get myself out of it.

You were so amazing helping me thinking I had mnd.tounge twitching then my left eye was twitching then I saw my leg twitching that all started 6 months ago I googled stressed myself out so much but now its all stopped I clearly don't have mnd I'm just hoping this post will help others its just anxiety then we get more symptoms that are not real Much love to anyone going through this now but its all ok and thanks for your channel your amazing

Hi there. I believe I am on the right path. I know it’s mind body. I’ve went from having pelvic pain, symptom shifted to a different location in my pelvis after 2 years. Then it left my pelvis and went to a different part of my body altogether. These changes come after serious commitment to mind body work. This has all happened within the space of a month. I believe I am at the end of my journey. I know my body is safe.

Found your channel a year ago when I had gone through the same exact fears and situation as you. After many months of watching and believing you, and focusing on my anxiety instead of twitching, they eventually went back to "occasional" ... but here i am again. This time it's something different and I'm going through all the tests. The spiral is absolutely horrifying again. The thing im "convinced of" now is rare, but my symptoms are hallmark. My zoloft doesn't touch it and xanax only helps for a short time. I'm going to do all the tests because my doctor does want to be safe although he believes it's all an anxiety cycle, but from here on out here is my pledge to stop searching for anything on what I am fearing right now. I even joined a fb support group for the people living with what I'm getting tests for. Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful.

[@gerjonhsiwa2589]

I have actually watched a few of your older videos. First one was the one about Poo, which turned out to be the same thing as you. Now I have these stomach issues...at worst it could be gastritis...But how I just keep going right to (((OH NO IT'S CANCER)) I'm realizing I have a problem. And I'm starting to realize anxiety makes it actually worse. My stomach issues happen every two to three weeks. I will be fine for two or three weeks... then my stomach issues flair up for a few days and have issues eating. And nothing that fits any kind of cancer symptom. Yet I go in a panic. I will be seeing a Gastro soon. But yes I have an extreme cause of anxiety disorder. I go hours shaking my leg. Unable to sleep. I panic over thinking people hate me and things like that. But your videos have been helpful.

When I know about somebody that its ill out of nowhere I begin to ask what were the symtoms they ignored. And then I am constantly checking myself to see I do not have that . This is horrible and I have to go away or not read news about people who out of nowhere have an aneurisma and died and that triggers a lot of my health anxiety. Also all the things about the Covid Vaccine and side effects of people with problems with heart failure after vaccine and the coagulation thing that made me worst this year I have a set back and help me to do exercise and check with Dr everything is ok. But now I have high blood pressure something basicaly normal in women with perimenopause and I am on medícation and living scared all the time of having something in my heart. Now I am dealing with this set back living without health anxiety for years now after Covid it came back . I am on therapy and is a daily struggle.

I'm going through Anxiety again for the second time. First time i was rid of it as it was down to thyroid issues, once that was sorted it eventually went away. But now it's back. The panic attacks and anxiety were so intense nearly everyday, the toll it takes on your body is immense, you do feel like you are dying sometimes. A lot of anxiety can be down to trauma, grief, ptsd or some event that triggers anxiety. My doctor started explaining to me that there are two brains, one is the brain, the other brain is your gut - the so-called Brain-Gut axis. It's worth reading up about. An imbalance in the gut microbiome, known as dysbiosis, can send the wrong signals to the brain and body - Anxiety, depression and digestive issues can be caused by this.

Thank you Cherelle for this video. I have been watching your videos. I suffer from Hypochondria according to my current GP. How I got it? - I was unwell for about 13 years with strange symptoms and the previous GP dismissed it as 'imaginations'. After 13 years, I was very unwell and sent for a blood test and I had Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidism). I was sent to the Endocrinologist and had medicines for 12 months and thankfully my thyroid levels are normal. However, because of 13 years being told I was imagining my symptoms, I have become insecured about my health. So every small symptom I have, my brains screams CANCER. I am trying to heal from this. Listening to your videos helps me somewhat. I thank you Cherelle.

My health anxiety disappeared when I eliminated gluten from my diet. I had health anxiety for my entire life, which comes in episodes, but for the last 2 years, it has been out of control. Try to do research on the relationship between a gluten-free diet and health anxiety, maybe it will help some of you.

[@An_Arbitrary_Miscellany]

I'm sorry but if you think that gluten is the cause of your anxiety, then you haven't understood any of what these videos are saying. You've just made another false link between two unrelated things, and it will fail for you at some stage (and, be honest, like all the other times you thought you found the answer in something else). If you're not owning and facing up to the anxiety itself, which is a consequence of overthinking and compulsive unhealthy behaviour; then you will never be free of it.

Hello, I often suffered of health Anxiety when I was younger, I m better now, I confirmed like it is said in this good vidéo that delaying the moment when you want to check in the internet to calm down your anxiety is efficient. I used to put a message in my smartphone to remind me to google my problem but ...within 3 days : on wednesday for exemple If you are on sunday, and during the 3 days if you think to your problem you get to say to yourself :Not NOW....but wednesday. Nearly each time I forgotted my problem during the 3 days and on the wednesday I didn t want to check anymore and I used to say to myself ..."well perharps I ll google my problem one day...or not...I ll see. Big though for all people who are suffering of health anxiety .

Hey I study medicine and I think I have health anxiety…do you think is something temporary because of what I read? Do you think I have to choose a less stressful specialty ?

[@reemadaryanani5803]

How did u get back to normal from a bad health Anxiety?

[@AbdullahlMazhar]

Start gym and achieve something

[@CeeWilson-vf9kj]

Do you have any content on how to deal with health anxiety when you do in fact have a chronic illness but your health anxiety makes you think you have additional issues?

[@jefferyjimson8574]

We are not separate from the universe we are the universe. And so we are just as much for example a tree or a book as we are the body, or everyone else as much as the immediate body. So everyone’s achievements are just as much your achievements: you painted the Mona Lisa, you designed the Sagrada Família, you ran 100m in 9.58 seconds etc. There is no other or external it is all you/ the universe. The universe or existence could also be referred to as God, all there is is God. In the universe being us, or in us being the universe, that could also be said as we are doing this. We are being or doing our entire experience, and furthermore everything that has ever happened or will happen. It is us which identifies anything being in particular to give it individuality but when we are not doing that and furthermore regardless if we do that there is already everything free from the need for anything in particular to be identified and so everything as a whole or wholeness, absolute freedom (non-duality).

I lost my mom 2 months ago because of terminal disease, and my health anxiety is getting worse and worse. I have stomach pain and gut issues, and I think I have stomach cancer. Health anxiety is killing me and makes me suicidal. Therapy didn't work for me. I'm really tired...

[@Daisy_Dobby]

Having gut issues with health anxiety is very common. I have that too. Pretty sure you don't have cancer❤

Does thinking about heart anxiety cause physical symtoms like racing heart and anxiety

[@redzed9405]

Yes. Ofc go to your doctor to make sure. In my experience, my anxiety attack feel like that too!

[@shashanksingh1072]

I am having constant numbness in legs and hands. Basically whenever there's a pressure like while sitting my legs go numb so fast. Anybody else feeling something same ?

[@shatteredgaming2378]

Yes I'm having this, it's doing my head in.

[@shashanksingh1072]

@shatteredgaming2378 It's scares the hell out. How are you dealing with it ?

[@shatteredgaming2378]

@@shashanksingh1072 just have to keep moving when they go dead, i just make sure I'm lying down watching the TV instead of sitting, arms and legs all even pressure. I have a hot water bottle for my feet as they're freezing with no circulation. It's not as bad tonight, was really bad for about a week, it comes and goes in cycles with other symptoms. Bloody horrible I know not much we can do really. .

[@shashanksingh1072]

@shatteredgaming2378 same. It comes and goes in cycles. I try to look at it as crisis and crisis always end.

[@shashanksingh1072]

@shatteredgaming2378 thanks for sharing :)

Hello, did you ever have brain fog with feelings like there’s a disconnect between my brain and muscle movement? I’ve been suffering from severe health anxiety for lots of years. And now I’m struggling with terrible brain fog feeling of disconnect with brain and muscles ,twitches and fears of neurological disorders.😢

[@JayP7178]

Does lexapro cause lip twitches?

[@Jude-b7z]

SSRI’s did for me. Especially citalopram.

[@stoobystoobydoo]

I hate that i get skipped heart beats for weeks. Talking 3 to 20 a minute. Drives me nuts and makes me think im dying EVERY TIME!

[@TheJillybean33]

Does anyone get constant buzzing in their body and breath aware?

[@shatteredgaming2378]

Is therapy different for somatic symptom anxiety disorder and health anxiety disorder? I don't worry about getting diseases, i have chronic physical symptoms and worry about them and what they are and whether they will ever go away. They are chronic and debilitating 24/7

[@sienacarl6357]

i also borderline stalk people, it’s honestly quite ridiculous

[@sniper999inhell]

[@blancamejiajara5201]

Hi, I've been dealing with dpdr for 6 months aprox and I think I'm doing well, the last month was symptom free. But suddenly something triggered me and I got brain fog again. I'd like to ask if that's normal, because I was really motivated and proud of myself...

[@suededogs9670]

I dont google my symptoms - i am too scared to I dont bother the doctor - cos he's going to tell me i'm dying I dont have anyone i can turn to - i live alone I look at channels like your for the cure I cannot afford the fee to have your therapy I dont know what i can do to make it stop

[@yuccalyptus]

Reddit is horrible for people with health anxiety. I would stay away from it like the plague.
