[@faithheroswdeaconevanantho4000]

Sometimes the feelings are so physical that when the emotion is felt and the symptom is experienced you automatically go to fight or flight. You feel very vulnerable,and all of the physical symptoms are super charged. Under stress these become more prevalent . Slowing it down is the route to go. Accept the symptom but do not become controlled by the symptom.

Your tone of voice, the way it’s slow, calm, reassuring mixed in with the wisdom you have attained and are using it is incredible. The messages you send are more than helpful and i thank you for sharing it with us. Thank you for actually helping.

[@leonie4903]

- the part that creates the symptoms is the part of me that checks in on them - dont react, respond and keep going with my goal of doing better - i always have the choice to feel good - speak to lower self (reassure it) - master lower self, the higher self is the one in control!! (anything that reminds me of anxiety is just trying to pull me back into familiarity) - patience‼️‼️

[@teamestrella1202]

1. Trust that there's a higher power 2. Respond- choose to do something or do nothing 3. While afraid, move your focus to the outside world 4. Begin to believe that your higher self reigns over the lower self 5. Patience is key to mastering

[@scooterpinball]

For me there is a spiritual connection to my panic attacks. I feel like i am being attacked by something. I grew up in church where you were taught to perform. What i realized is that we can never perform or be perfect enough to win Gods favor. Gods grace is sufficient and i can do nothing to make him love me more or gain more favor. This spills over to my interactions with other people. I feel if i am perfect, if i dont fail people will accept me. I’m not perfect. I cant do everything. Thats ok. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

[@kelley4516]

For the last 5 weeks I've been dealing with on and off body twitches, tingling, numbness in my arms or legs, and, the weirdest symptom yet, my tongue sometimes feels like an alien thing in my mouth even though my tongue is normal. My anxiety symptoms have changed from heart PVC attacks and thinking I have heart disease, to bad dizziness, tinnitus and thinking I have a brain tumor, to gastrointestinal problems and thinking I have crohns disease, and now to twitching, numbness, tingling, jelly legs and arms. It just keeps changing and boy is it exhausting. I've been trying so hard to accept that I have health anxiety and I am safe. But when I think I'm making progress, I backtrack and get real scared and think how theres no way this is just anxiety causing these symptoms. It's so hard to get myself out of it. Its so true, you have to BELIEVE that you're safe and healthy and accept and trust in yourself. My symptoms last for weeks or months straight and its just awful...I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I bring up changing symptoms to my dr and they just tell me to chill, its just anxiety. They dont explain HOW its just anxiety and if it were "X" disease, here is what would happen. I started on sertraline 50mg 5 weeks ago and it seemed to help a ton in the beginning but I feel like it might be time to up my dose a bit because the fear and thoughts are creeping back in after being so happy for weeks now. I can't find a therapist because nobody is taking new clients.

[@donprestage9002]

You just described my life. Numbness and tigling is the worst. Followed by the heart pounding.

[@SvrakaMagpie]

What helps me is this: The reason why you feel these sensations is because your survival-mind and body is reacting to your thoughts. You have the thoughts that something is wrong so your body increases tension and nerves become sensitive in the anticipation that you are or are about to fight something off. It's all psychosomatic, and I notice I don't feel anything at all when I'm busy with something else or distracted. I wish you all the best in your journey ❤️‍🩹

This is me to a T as well... Ugh, it sucks and reassuring, in a strange way, that others feel the same thing and we will be ok.

[@muffsmerino]

Yes also have this all exactly as you describe. Four years now, everyday. What kind of epidemic is this? The thing that gets me about it being anxiety is that all my aunts have anxiety including my mom. None of them have ever had these symptoms. Like are they just playing us? Is this guy for real, my doctor also calmly smiles and lis like, yeah that's anxiety. I mean I almost believe it, but why do people I know like elders in the family never have these anxiety symptoms... btw B12, B1, low does digestable Iron helped relieve some of my symptoms. If you heal, please let me know if you figure it out. Lori :)

[@divinityeaster6610]

When your anxiety symptoms have completely taken over your mind and body and it’s so unbearable that you can’t function anymore, you can’t just ignore it. I spend time doing meditation and deep breathing through my nose to help my body learn to relax and be calm. I just can’t see any other way to do it. I still haven’t overcome my anxiety disorder yet where I can manage it well enough to recover. I hope that before I leave this earth due to old age, that I gain personal control over this condition, that successful moment. That trust that I can do this.

[@Appareldistributors]

An epiphany I had while watching this video and I slowly felt my anxiety symptoms creeping away by listen to this advice; is that just as we all went through heartbreak, grief etc. we were once in a very bad state of mind and it was tiring and draining and tough to get through. But now we've learned to deal with and grow through it and now it doesn't affect as much now. One of my main cause of anxiety (I've just started to get bad anxiety for about a week now so this is new to me) is that I think to myself that it wont get better and I cant see how I will continue live with this. Now I realize that just as every emotion, we can learn to deal with it and overcome so I feel better now knowing that I can overcome my anxiety. I look forward to following the advice from this video and with patience I Believe I will get through this and I hope y'all do too.

[@gina2002]

Health anxiety has plagued me for years. I’m in the middle of an episode now where I can feel something and catastrophize it…constantly focusing on “do I feel it, is it worse, is it gone, did it move?” Etc. This video makes so much sense. I’ve tried focusing on the fact that I’m not in the ultimate control and that God is. It IS very much a control issue at the root. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not alone…the battlefield of the mind is a tough place to fight.

[@Rudy_yah]

Does it include palpitations?? Mindless worse ..sometimes I tend to catastrophize even the normal and simplest things and boom my heart shoots

[@Vict0reeaH]

If you haven't tried there is so much self help literature available on generalised anxiety disorder. Make sure you check it out, it helped me a lot

[@kimworger8795]

Thank you Dennis, this video described me exactly. I have experienced a recent heart health issue and the symptoms of palpitations was one of the symptoms I was to watch out for ...so guess who is aware of her heartbeat everything she moves. I have been absolutely terrified😢. I asked myself what was I terrified of ??death or actually dying not in a "state of grace"...a very strong indoctrination from a very rabid Roman Catholic background which I believed I had moved on from. I am endeavouring to stop trying to "know" what's True and develop my own spirituality more. I am trying to see this as an opportunity to let go and Trust, instead of constantly trying to keep myself Safe. I found this video very helpful and will indeed watch more.

[@carolwright9336]

You are telling the truth this put me in a depression so i think i wont worry anymore

[@escricco]

Hey Dennis - I have managed to move away from many symtpoms and fears that dominiated me for too many years, and are all connected to anxiety - heart palpitations, dizziness, lump in throat, and others - and your videos& books have played a major role for me - so thank you. I am still not 100% out of the woods yet - but all these videos, mediations, and self awareness practices are crucial to keep going.

Hi there I've been living with palpitations and fear had taken a grip over my mind and it's causing me physically sensations.all my hearts test came normal but yet at every slightest thought or trigger/news or image I get palpitations and tremors that last for hours sometimes 24hrs..did all beta blockers and magnesium glycinate and I'm tired and faltered ..

[@escricco]

@@Rudy_yah I have been there for many years. Good news is that they will not kill you. Bad news is that they won't go away, but if you learn how to work your inner peace and be friend with your feelings, you will loose interest and eventuall you will not even notice them. Meditate, exercise, eat well, sleep well, and have fun, and I trust you will feel better soon.

[@EliBenett]

Sometimes I convince myself that it’s just my health anxiety and that I got this. Then I get an anxiety attack that can last for a few days and nocturnal panic attacks etc… and dig myself deeper into the hole Ive worked so hard to get out of. I accept my symptoms, I let them be and keep going with my life but it’s hard when you are trying to live a normal life and you are constantly feeling sick. Because anxiety causes so many scary symptoms, and once they come, they stay and visit for a while, making me feel nauseated, lightheaded, faint, heart palps, chest pain, and sometimes all im doing is watching a fun movie with my family and they sneak up on me. I’ll get a good day here and there but I’m mostly always tired, afraid, and feeling sick. I’m just tired. Thank you for your video, it was very insightful 😊

[@vinny5727]

“Impatience is a tool your lower self uses to bring you back into an anxiety identity” Wow. 👏🏼 That is incredible for so many reasons. The main reason for me is because the main drive of my anxiety is “how long will this last”? “Will I be stuck like this until I die” ? “How many days/weeks/months/years do I have to endure this” and THAT is what is keeping my anxiety alive. If I just understand that my mind is trying to manipulate me with those messages, it makes it’s so much easier to identify when it’s happening and I can just go, “Maybe, maybe not, who knows 😊” and let myself feel the those uncomfortable feelings without panicking. Just like “yup it is what it is” and let myself flow through it. Eventually my nervous system and subconscious should understand NOTHING is going to happen to me and even though it feels like I’m supposed to “fix” something. You earned a sub from me man, we’re going to make it.

[@thaliaroper1042]

I’ve had anxiety before but for the past month is hitting me with new symptoms: kind of like unbalance feeling, my eyes don’t focus well, blood rushing through legs, almost like a lightheaded feeling, shaking, headache, and this all happens almost every time I’m getting ready to eat! So odd, I sit down to eat and instantly the symptoms start, so I’m always afraid of lunch or dinner time now! I had EKG done, X-rays of my heart and lungs, blood work and everything was fine…they told me I’m having panic attacks. This video says so much truth! I get scared that there’s something wrong but it must be just me, so I need to take control of it and trust that I have the power. Thank you so much for this video

Dennis - I can't even tell you how much this resonated with me today. I hung on your every word. The word that really hit me hard was "control." Yes. Yes. Yes. That is me. So much anxiety in me comes from wanting to control what others in my family are doing that I think is potentially harmful or just a bad idea...and my mind heads straight into major anxiety 24/7 because I can't control anything. This is resulting in major health symptoms that scare me even more. Except you said I can control myself. You've taught me that starting today, I can control my lower self. I can. Between my faith in God (who led me to you) and your teachings, I am going to start living a better life today. I know it takes time, but it starts today. Dennis, thank you SO much!

[@LurkingLinnet]

Forgiveness and patience are the hardest for me. I always blamed the outer world for it because no matter how hard I tried, results didn't show up and everybody around me were always dissatisfied in me and still are but the truth is did i forgive myself? Did I really let go? It's hard to always do that when there is that nagging question "For how long" anxiety has every way of convincing you so that you give in to the illusion that things are happening to you and not for you! It's easy to speak objectively but when the moment strikes...the bodily sensations and all of it is really automatic. But I do trust my higher self and I know that this is only my inner child and I don't have to give in to the fear that lurks around me 24/7. This is an ongoing journey and a beautiful process and I have to believe in this no matter how suffocating it sounds to the voice in the head looking for quick fixes.

[@michelschaank]

The lower part, or what you call the inner child, keeps you obsessively trapped in anxious thoughts through rumination or physical symptoms to prevent you from escaping the self-created prison. A prison of which the inner child believes to be the only safe place. This reminds me of Dr. Sarno, who says that the subconscious deploys physical pain to avoid "forbidden" emotions, as these emotions once caused insecurity during childhood. We step out of this prison with confidence, addressing our inner child, our lower self, from the heart, assuring that we are safe. Instead of repeatedly checking if it's already safe and if the symptoms are gone, we physically move outward, towards life. Our senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste - guide us to a world of creativity and unconditional love. We embark on the journey and continue to speak to that inner child from our heart. Thanks 😊

thank you after a week of hopeless searching for reasons causing my hightened symptoms I feel having the courage to change may be a better approach than I have been using Sudden bad news of a friend having a stroke left me feeling like I could lose control .I will rewatch this video God Bless You

[@Gypsynyc10]

1 minute in and I am already ' This is me 100% " ! ....You hv hit the nail on the head here with all that you 've said. I associate every uncomfortable sensation with anxiety , a potential panic attack. Even when I am not feeling anxious , the minute my mind is free , I automatically start checking for symptoms of anxiety ! I have never considered it to be a ' fixation '. and it makes total sense . Thank you :)

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Wow I’m glad it spoke deeply to you, keep up the progress.

[@Mohicanz11]

Understanding that the part of you that creates the symptoms is also the part that wants you to check in on them and focus on them in order to keep you alert and in fear was mind opening for me.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

A more than anxiety moment ;)

[@Lenneke8422-b3t]

Beautiful said ty i wrote it down 😘

[@ChrisCoraggio]

I could probably say this about every one of your videos, but my intuition is telling me that.........This Is Your Best Video!!!! Thank you Dennis. My eyes (and heart) are starting to open and understand.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Blessings, thank you so much.

[@michelefinizio6520]

Thank you. Great video Wow this is so true of me. I focus on my symptoms and want to fix myself since I have health issues.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Glad it spoke to you my friend, much love.

[@michelefinizio6520]

What is lower self??

[@gwendolynpanton3630]

This is really my story, so true. Anxiety is doing me bad. Thank you❤🙏

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

You are very welcome

[@juliepotts896]

This is just what I needed to hear , I didn’t realise I was trapped in an anxiety state of being …

[@Blingdreamx]

“Impatience is a tool that your lower self uses to pull you back” Ahh! So true it hurts to hear. I become so impatient with myself on so many levels. Deep breathing, yoga, meditation. I tell myself I want results now, I can’t wait. I must find some more ways to practice patience along this journey.

[@RochelleMendez-i6x]

Me too, I'm impatience I want to go back to my normal self . Patience is virtues so from now on, I pray to God that he will give me more patience ,help and guide me to this journey.

[@kaedens7031]

Every single word that you said in this video is exactly what I was thinking. It’s not real. Your body makes it up and makes you think and feel that it is. Control is definitely key. You need to master your mind. I’m still in the process of that

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Love your input thank you.

[@Bunia2000]

[@afeflazreg231]

I had my first panic attack in 2018,and after that my journey with anxiety and panic started, I tried so many things from therapists to life coaches then found myself under medication after I started seeing a psychiatrist as it was my last resort, I took medication for 4 years , I stopped progressively this April as my doctor suggested because I seemed fine and healed, was happy and relieved, suddenly my anxiety made a comeback 2 days ago when I started to feel the symptoms again, making me feel uncomfortable all day long , I don’t want to go back to medication, I don’t want to go back to point zero, therefore, I resorted to videos on KZbin as a way to calm down my anxiety attack when I came across this video that I totally relate to, it even helped me calm down and felt much better afterwards, no one and nothing has explained my symptoms this clearly and simply, thank you so much , I will go through the other videos may be this is the beginning of my healing process. I send love and compassion to all those who suffer from health anxiety.

[@avamiller2325]

[@aliciamuniz5708]

"D-LOVE" - This is totally me from the start. "TRUST" is where I must start and stop myself. I love it! Master my Lower Self.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Yes sir! Always great to hear the D-LOVE haha love and blessings.

[@rouvdi1]

There is so much to this HA and the fact that our lower self has been given so much control. I have stopped fighting and started allowing. I’m a prayerful person and I see how releasing our control to God is way more sensible than us fighting in a frenzy. My takeaway: Patience, engage with the external, release tension. The process takes practice and time.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Great feedback thank you for your words.

[@Riiiodagr8onemclovin]

I NEEDED THIS 🙂 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@pinaperez741]

Thank you Dennis!

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

My pleasure!

[@lauranoonan8245]

Thank you so much. Suffering from globus, chest tightness, depersonalization and dizziness. Pushing myself everyday. Using your tips ❤️

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Keep up the progress.

[@studioofstyles6585]

I’m dealing with the same thing, it’s terrible. I’m gonna try my best to change my stinky thinking

[@koskap35]

Same here and tomorrow is my 1st day in job. I ll try my best. Hope it goes away soon. It's unbearable.

[@DaveEllis-e6t]

Dizziness is d worst😢

[@charlottetorrez2346]

Yes I'm dealing. With fear of swallowing..since u choked 10 weeks ago it's been hard to eat normal again and I'm losing too much weight

[@twinbrookacres]

Dennis, you confirmed what I have have been telling myself lately. Suffering with anxiety and PTSD for 20 year, the last 13 years being all consuming. All due to numerous traumatic events. I recently told myself that I have no need to fear what has happened and fear what may happen. I changed my diet which helped with mental clarity. I am now able to reason with my lower self and minimize my anxious thoughts. Thanks for all you do!

[@ChinaReynolds]

This video is a godsend. Its nice to know other people are going through this too. I'm ready for this healing journey. Love to all who's watching this too. ❤❤

[@nickkapatais]

6:12 Light bulb moment. This is an amazing video and all of it is a moment of clarity, especially if we take the time to break down what you say and truly understand. I must say that as a viewer who's been through various anxiety channels and various "recovery" channels here on KZbin, it turns out your channel has been the most honest with a true interest in the people suffering. So I just wanted to put that out there let people know that a lot of "sharks" are benefiting from people's anxiety/symptoms and charging them astronomical amounts. Thank you for being so genuine and truly empowering people.

[@susansaulsberry4561]

This is exactly me. My anxiety causes digestive problems. I feel so out if control.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Allow this channel to be your guide to healing, much love.

[@annbaker8217]

Yes exactly the same what you said about waking up checking on symptoms my god you so right 😢

[@wolfgang8140]

I don't comment a lot but it very much does feel like you're talking to me, over the last few years whenever I start to fixate on fear and get overwhelmed I come back to this channel and you say exactly what I need to hear- and teach me exactly what I need to do to grow from where I am currently stuck and I will forever be thankful

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SmartMoneyRyan]

Fear, it's so funny. Fear is my fuel now. When something Scary happens. I get excited for the change. It's like a psychic shift.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

This! I completely understand thanks for sharing.

[@vinny5727]

I’m learning this for my fixation on my heartbeat sensation. Instead of getting up and going oh my god this is horrible I want this feeling to go away, now ill wake up and literally think, “I’m so excited to feel uncomfortable today” like is an opportunity to run towards the fear. This is the way to defeating anxiety

[@SmartMoneyRyan]

@@vinny5727 this literally happened to me again 2 days ago. Was trying to get over fear of heights. Wasn't paying attention and almost fell down stairs backwards. Then realized if I can stop myself from falling into something I didn't see. I should be fine if I'm paying attention. Earlier the next day I saw a shirt saying "get over your fear of heights" randomly on some guy walking Infront of me.. like God was trying to help me get over my fear and giving me signs. 💘💘💕

[@Janice-gp8xt]

I find it hard to think it's going. to go x

[@studioofstyles6585]

I think I’m in denial because I feel like anxiety can’t be making me feel this bad over 13 years it have to be something else wrong. So I keep trying to figure out what’s wrong.

[@1karmabell]

I had intense cervical spine surgery at the beginning of the pandemic. Had anxiety since a child over specific things that would disappear shortly after. Since I’ve lost control over the strength of my neck and the ability to hold my head erect, I feel out of control of my life. I feel a victim.Tried physical therapy many times as well as talk therapy. It’s a constant that I can’t stop thinking about. My body feels weak from anxiety and loss of sleep. After listening to your guided meditation video last night about letting go, It did take me out of my head after playing it 10 times. Gotta keep at it. Thank you so much❤️🙏🏻

[@MistaNoodle]

Wishing you all the best, u can do this 🙏🏻

[@brendahannula9905]

I actually stopped the video at 10:25. This is exactly what I've been dealing with! Dennis, this video seems like it is specifically designed for me!! ❤

[@JAcQ426]

This is my doing something. Feels good❤

[@brorulez8906]

I’ve been battling health anxiety for years . I had been doing really well for last few years but it’s BACK with a vengeance! My anxiety is always centred with dementia. Constantly questioning everything, why did I forget that , why did that word not come, etc etc . Watching your videos are always so helpful ❤

[@eyebelieve5974]

I have not had any issues for over 5 years with anxiety(before that, it was just part of the story, ya know) then "seemingly" out of nowhere I got sick with a harsh respitory flu and couldn't breath at night. I didn't sleep for 2 nights and BAM huge panick attack. That was a week ago... I was looking for concord conscious beloveds who still experience this...I found you. I'm grateful

[@terrihallmon5916]

I Thank the Universe for You, I live with this Every day mostly due to past experiences that influence my THINKING, but now it has leaked on to Loved ones too. I'm so full of Fear ... I Need Relief...Please Help ❤

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

My programs, and this channel, will guide you to the truth which is inner freedom.

[@aberdesign]

Hi Dennis! This is a the light bulb moment I had been waiting for. Even though I am attending schema therapy for about a year now with an excellent clinical psychologist, this video….yes this video has truly resonated with me the most. I get this. I am going to listen to this video every day and practice talking compassionately with my little inner child. I am truly grateful Dennis for your teachings and fantastic way of clarifying what is actually the root of all anxiety. With much respect. Thank you. ❤

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Yes! Thank you for confirming this, it's such a vital point in not only the anxiety healing process but finding who we truly are once again. Much love.

[@rationalmonk8248]

Listening to your true self. To this calm and wise inner voice inside of your mind is the key to your healing. It is so true…know it from my own healing journey.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Nice to hear my friend, much love.

[@vrishalimm]

When you said out hand on heart and tell to lower self that I’ll take care of you… I felt that real deep 😞

[@CarlosMorales-ek9og]

I thank God for you Dennis. You have helped so many people from living miserable lives and bein grateful and to clear this fog to praise God more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart . God bless you always ❤

[@magdalenereaves4357]

Omg where have you been. This is so me I am in the middle of those I need your help.

[@achuingahor9018]

I felt uncomfortable in the chest, racing heart beat, physical numbness, and sweating. Looking at this video title itself is so relieving. Stop looking for anxiety symptoms, but ignore.

[@deborahgogarty8475]

I spoke to the lower self and it replied! It said that I never listened to it, it was sad because it just wanted to keep me safe. I said I would always listen, I just wouldn’t always do what it wanted.

[@nickszabodrums]

The last two weeks been pretty challenging, but in a good way (see I'm already trying to think of it positively haha). Im definitely less anxious because of working out, meditation, prayer and doing the research through your videos. Weirdly enough when I feel good and calm sometimes these anxious thoughts and feelings creep in out of nothing. Now I know that's my inner child who is scared of the change. I can feel how my perception of the outside world is changing, just by shifting my focus and of course my lower self is acting on it and tries to send signals. All I do then is remind myself that I'm safe and exactly as you said "ride the wave" and get new experiences, so I can rewrite these programs. Thank you Dennis.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Very welcome and thank you for sharing this.

[@CarlosMorales-ek9og]

The comment of the frantic mind moving out the way lets your body heal. That is awesome 👏

[@benritchie2940]

Makes so much sense, I can be out in a busy shop feeling fine and I will think to myself I’m not having any symptoms today and then slowly that thought will manifest into me having symptoms. Social anxiety sufferer for last 4 years. Completely believe the brain can be rewired out of this although I’ve not manage to do this yet. It’s a vicious cycle.

[@ElisabethBirkeland-tq3rm]

Wow, so many powerful quotes in one video. It feels like you're really channeling a higher power. Thank you!

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Much love

[@leighannp7593]

You have just described me to a T. I hope I can find my way out of this cycle. Every time I think I’ve gotten control of my anxiety, I’ll have a weird sensation out of nowhere like dizziness & my body goes into fight or flight mode. It is exhausting.

[@ilse-u6x]

The WISEST WORDS IVE EVER HEARD ❤

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

The kindest words I've ever heard :) much love.

[@Zave125]

this hit home! i was so spiraled out. everything u are saying RESONATES TREMENDOUSLY!!!

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

I'm glad to hear it.

[@janethansen9612]

I know I need to stop checking in with symptoms. Knowing this perpetuates the cycle helps me want to stop this with compassion towards my lower self.
