@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Dennis any advice on feeling of heaviness in the head and a lot pressure???

[@dignifieddan.4198]

@@barbarotanquero2115that’s a super common one.. same as any other anxiety or OCD scary feeling.. sit with it. Make peace with it. As hard and scary as it is, whatever it takes, sit with that and reframe it, make peace with the feeling and (personally), I tell myself “I’d rather die than feel this type of constant worry and anxiety that stops me from living my life, therefore I will just move forward even if it’s into unknowns”. (It doesn’t have to be that kind of a mantra, but you get the idea). Exposure helps a lot. Just saying F it.. and obviously therapy, any kind of exercise, writing, all helps. And prayer as well!

I have struggled with anxiety, panic, ocd, and depression that has been well managed for the last 10 years. Recently though, something tipped my scale and I am starting all over. Back with these crippling symptoms. I am desperately searching for relief and came across your content. I have to say, your approach makes me feel understood without any judgment. I have encountered therapists who were lacking in basic empathy, but I just felt a deep connection through a stranger's (your!) KZbin video. These tips are not only practical, but they are also presented in a genuine manner, tone, and format. You have gained a new follower, and I am truly invested in your perspective and subject matter expertise. Thank you.

I'm going through the same thing. For the last 12 yrs, I was on and off but managing well until recently. Now it's so ugly again. Having to change up my thought process and unfortunately that takes time 😮‍💨

Thanks so much for creating this channel. Humour is everything. When i find myself overthinking my chronic health issues joke that it must be my ebola virus playing up again.😊

[@gudetamababygirl]

“You are not the thing that your lower self believes that you are” hits so deep. Honestly I used to have HORRIBLE anxiety in high school. Over a few months I lost 20+ pounds, had every symptom under the sun, had no friends, etc. I pushed past that and was able to overcome. Now I just moved, got sick, about to start a new job, and getting my period all at the same time and my body is in overdrive! I haven’t had anxiety this bad in a long time but your videos have been truly helping me! I don’t know what I want to do as a career but these videos make me consider going in to being a life coach or therapist! I think people find it helpful that people can relate and usually I feel like a pretty strong person, just when I’m anxious all the voices come in my head and it sucks. I feel like I have to parent that big black cloud inside of me. Telling it to stop. Sometimes it feels like there’s 3 sides to me when anxious. The big cloud of anxiety, little me who is being tormented by the anxiety, and then my higher self. I unlocked this through therapy when I used to go I believe. But, sometimes it feels like my higher self has to babysit my younger self and kinda drag it away from the anxiety. Like right now I’m about to go on a run because getting all the adrenaline out helps. But, I’m having to force myself to do so as I’m still sick. But, my first day of work is tomorrow so I really have to get going. Would also like to note I do get anxious still, just hasn’t been as bad as high school. I’m only 19 so it wasn’t that far away but I did lots of CBT therapy! But I woke up from a horrible dream last night and had new symptoms during my panic attack so it was truly truly scary. I was up from about 2-5 or 6. Which a good nights sleep typically isn’t what I get when super anxious sadly.

[@nursnour]

Your promises are so true. Bringing lightless and playfulness into my life and starting making humorous conversations with my unconscious “self” helps me. I find it sometimes silly and I am not used to this way, but being so strict and analytical didn’t helped me so far, that’s why I prefer to be on the brighter side. I have tried so much in my life, just trusting a friend like Dennis really gives me hope finally..

[@Ironcydeus]

I had a lump on my thigh that initially brought on a bout of health anxiety. I got it lanced and its taken its sweet time healing but all the while, making me anxious because it still felt swollen and was turning purple throughout the day along with Seething sensations of burning and itching in my thigh. Turns out I had pinched my sciatic nerve, and I did some stretches to relieve it. And now, the burning is gone and the scar is healing better. So every morning when I wake up, I look at my leg and go "aww how's the little guy this morning" and that has helped tremendously. Part of how I usually approach things with my health is I'll discuss it with my wife; as she is way more versed in health related matters and is a brilliant mind and I'll tell myself "she knows way more than you do and she isn't worried so you're good". It may seem counter intuitive to call myself dumb in the moment but that's just the type of humour that works 😅

[@bernietmusic]

Thank you for your insight and help! I am also in the process of reading your book "The Essential Guide To Health Anxiety ". Very good book and I feel I'm learning a lot more about how the mind and body work, and most importantly it gives me hope that I can" heal" anxiety. I'm 61 years old and I've struggled, accepted, learned coping skills to help manage excess anxiety and problems it can create. My entire adult life has kind of went up and down with anxiety intensity. I believe some good things have come from it also. I was diagnosed with CLL ( a type of blood cancer) ten years ago but I'm doing pretty good with that and currently not under any treatment. Mild tolerable symptoms. I believe I often struggle most with physical symptoms or uncomfortable sensations, especially those related to stomach and eating. I sometimes struggle with this......Wondering what came first...... the symptom or the anxiety that elevated the intensity of the unpleasant sensations in my body? I have made numerous good changes to my diet, and more excersize, some yoga, and some meditation all which seem to be helping with my overall wellness. So often simply eating something or taking a walk or getting a little more mindful eases the situation. I'm now learning to just sit with the uncomfortable sensations and accept and believe my body is capable of taking care of its self. Too not spend too much time listening to "little me". I've certainly managed to get off the subject of the original video and start rambling....lol. . Thanks for the help, and best wishes to those out there struggling. I pray you find find the peace within!

Dennis, is anxiety completely over for you? Since you mastered how to deal with it, has it been gone? Or does it still show up sometimes, but you get it under your control? I suffer from anxiety since 2020. It was torturing until last year, when I finally decided to accept it. It has been easier to deal with it since then, but it doesn’t seem to completely disappear. It keeps coming back every 4-5 months. Since I found your channel I learned to not freak out about it and try to embrace it. Your videos help me a lot! Thank you.

[@TheAnxietyGuy1]

Be nervous system is regulated, so stressors no longer keep me down but I am very flexible in response to them. I'm easy going, light, and I no longer allow the mind to lead me here, there and anywhere. I a much more aware, no longer fixated on what's wrong or could go wrong.

In the end of the video, you mention that the symptoms, negative feelings and intrusive ideas are looking for guidance from the conciouse mind. What I have learned from youre other videos is to choose to respons or not respond, not reacting. Would just embracing and sit with the symptoms be enough, or do I need to for example say to the «lower self» everything is ok, dont worry? Please clear up if you can 😊

Sitting with the symptoms proves safety yes, this would be an ideal response when aligned with compassion and patience.

I'm no really sure of the source of my anxiety. I have my suspects, but I feel if was actually sure, I could then deal with it and do some of the things you suggest.

Im sorry, Ive listened to this video along with many of his others and I just find his solutions to anxiety not easily understood. At one point it's to form a cloud in your mind representing the intrusive thought and watching it go away, but then it's to learn how to accept your intrusve thoughts. Ive been struggling with crippling anxiety and insomnia (no sleep at all) for a month straight 24/7. It's to the point I'm so miserable I've thought of taking my own life.

To surrender is to let go to the potential devastation that the conditioned mind perceives. Sooner or later, we begin seeing the bluff beneath the idea, and the practice alone leads us to freedom. Much love.
