How to STOP Health Anxiety Symptoms.. Anxiety Guy🤫

Health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder or hypochondriasis, is a condition in which a person experiences excessive worry and fear about their health. It can manifest as a preoccupation with symptoms or a fear of developing a serious illness, even in the absence of any medical evidence to support such concerns.

Taking action on health anxiety is important because it can significantly affect a person's quality of life, causing distress, disruption of daily activities, and unnecessary healthcare utilization. Furthermore, if left untreated, health anxiety may lead to the development of other mental health conditions such as depression and may even worsen physical health outcomes due to excessive worry and stress.

I feel like I went through the learning stages in health anxiety where it was pure hell and suffering, but then I eventually learned and then quit going to e.r. and quit googling symptoms and illnesses and quit acting like a victim and started facing these irrational fears, and started ignoring the symptoms, and slowly but surely the symptoms started to fade. We can all get our lives back if we keep working on it and learning, and not repeating the same mistakes over and over. 😊

It’s crazy how one tiny symptom can spiral into panic. I woke up at 3 am feeling anxious and then it felt like my foot was tingly and then I got a headache and I’ve been scared I’m going to get sick for the last 4 hours. I feel my depression getting worse again which makes my body feel bad which then gives me anxiety and panic attacks. To the point I cant even sit down no matter how exhausted I am. I need freedom from this anxiety monster

I stopped googling any symptom or pain after your program. I still have more work but it's one of the things that I am pround of as it isn't easy.

[NickPeters-eqvp]

I recovered from your program - what a journey after trying everything I wish I found you 12 years sooner

I didn’t have hypochondria until I got on social media & seen people saying they felt fine & had 0 symptoms & found out randomly they had stage 4 lung cancer. People posting they had a headache for a few days & it was actually a brain aneurysm. My brain thinks “better safe than sorry”. I go to the doctor over minor shit often bc you never know.

Dennis’ perspective and tutorials were key to me overcoming anxiety symptoms. I was in the abyss with little hope. Incrementally I made subtle changes and challenged myself in uncomfortable situations to be a better me

Accept them for what they are. When they switch up accept them too. Your mind will determine that you will accept whatever comes along and they will fade. The hardest part is accepting initially.

Pro tip for health anxiety:- never Google your health problems to find out its etiology, I said never, it's a hidden killer .

[jazzsoul]

I totally agree! My mom had psychiatric problems which Led to physical symptoms. That led to all sorts of illnesses etc. I've been using natural remedies for long time.

So much truth spoken in a short video. So relatable. Thx Dennis, as always excellent reminder..

I’m struggling so much with health anxiety right now. It’s the worst it’s ever been because of symptoms I’m experiencing. I feel very isolated and in a constant state of panic because of my fear.

[virginiaferrer]

It helps me greatly ... I have very bad allergies and sometimes I get lightheaded for a few seconds when I sneeze ... then I go into panic mode that this dizziness is permanent and I won’t be able to live my life and everyone will abandon me but I remind myself it just my allergies and the hay ever will pass ... and I’m very healthy

[jacquelineantoine]

As im lying here with trapped wind convincing myself ive got bowel cancer ( i am a breast cancer survivor)

[charlemagne]

I had mine under control then I had a miscarriage and now my health anxiety is related to the cardiovascular system. 🤦 I am permanently dizzy, heart racing on/off in the day and feel so nauseous I can't eat. I am now not sleeping at night from fear of dying in my sleep. I'm literally fed up of this fucking negative narrative.

[ritikakatuwal]

i overdosed 1 year ago and now i am constantly worrying about my health

[marcleroux]

The problem is for me im experiencing extreme stomach issues. Rumbling, constipation, gas, never feeling full and then i eat more and thus i feel that i need to do something about it to make it stop other than just accepting it or it will never go away. Doctors say i might have ibs but they are not sure until i get it checked. Not fun at all feeling sick daily for no apparent reason

[kristibike]

Hi Dennis-, I am getting kinda major back surgery. I was wondering which video can help me to stop projecting and live in the now. You look great.

[josephlyon]

It’s not really that I get symptoms it’s just in constant fear like aneurysm going to blow my brain up

[thelmajames]

Ok, with your anxiety in the past did you come to situations of heart palpitations and skipped beats out of nowhere or during stressful times

[Cantbeerased]

my brain does not work that way. i have a headache then think its something wrong decide to say nothing and think "this is the time it will be something cuz i said nothing"
