My 3 Most Debilitating Symptoms Of Anxiety And How I Crushed Them

Description: I've been getting the question of 'Dennis could you tell me what your worst symptoms of anxiety were, and how you dealt with them please' quite a bit lately, and so it's time to dive deep. I've made many videos around anxiety symptoms in the past few years but in this video I want to target the energetic/imagination side of my skill sets that I used to ride myself of coping with symptoms of anxiety on a daily basis.

Here's Why We Need To Talk About Hypochondria/Health Anxiety More!

Hypochondria is a mental condition marked by excessive and constant worry by people that they may have some kind of serious disease. The sufferer may not exhibit any physical symptoms of anxiety, or he/she may construe mild symptoms or bodily sensations to be a symptom of some severe ailment.

This can continue to haunt the person even after comprehensive tests have proved the absence of any serious medical illness.

Hypochondria/health anxiety sufferers live in perennial fear that they are afflicted by one or many diseases. Doctors may give them assurances that all is fine with them, but as the pain or cough is real, they do not believe the doctors.

Also, doctors cannot completely guarantee that a sufferer is not suffering from diseases like ulcer, multiple sclerosis, or cancer. This is reason enough for hypochondriacs to continue worrying about their worst fears.

It is important to talk more about hypochondria because sufferers who experience such debilitating symptoms of anxiety on a daily basis not only harm themselves mentally and emotionally, but also ruin many important relationships in their lives.

Hypochondriacs may constitute just six percent of the people who make visits to the clinics annually, but they make frequent visits and spend excessive amounts of time at hospitals as I did for years.

A huge amount of information about different conditions is now available through the internet online. This can also lead to worsening of hypochondria and the symptoms of anxiety that follow. Health anxiety sufferers regularly access the internet and find out about information on new illnesses or new presentations of older illnesses that they were never aware of!

Most doctors consider hypochondriacs/health anxiety sufferers to be of nuisance value and do not mind losing them as patients. There are however some physicians who believe that the assumption that nothing is wrong with the patients is incorrect. They believe that there is something wrong indeed, but the anomaly has more to do with abnormal thoughts, repressed emotions, and memory than physical issues.

Hypochondria can be divided into 3 kinds of mental conditions whose symptoms are somewhat similar to those exhibited by hypochondriacs. The first kind can be classified as a variation of OCD; the second kind can be something like depression, often caused by an event that causes guilt or loss; while the third kind is made up of those who somatize and place increased time and focus on their bodies.

In all the above cases, hypochondria assumes the form of a self-reinforced vicious spiral. Health anxiety sufferers may notice some symptom of anxiety, construe it as irregular, and start exploring for additional signs. All have minor pains and twinges. Further exploration of it does often result in finding more of such minor abnormalities. Thus, even when the doctor informs you that nothing is wrong, you do not get assured as you have the sensations to prove that something may be wrong.

For all the reasons stated above, and for many more, it is important for more debate and discussion to occur on hypochondria and health anxiety. It will increase awareness about the mental health condition, and about new empowering ways to overcome and treat it.

Y’all can do it. I am 34 years old and had my first anxiety attack at 14. I have dealt with it my entire adult life. I stumbled upon the anxiety guy channel and it has changed my whole outlook on life. I used to freak out about every little sensation or pain, but watching these videos has helped me deal with it. I really thank you for changing my life !

I think I've had all the symptoms now - headaches, chest pain/tightness, nausea, dizziness, twitches, aches... and now lump in throat feeling! I feel like my mind is throwing all of these symptoms out there to test how I'll react. Def trying my best to overcome it all. Meditation, exercise, and clean eating are a must... but resolving your issues is even more important.

Last year I suffered a panic attack on an Uber and since then my life was a nightmare. I went to therapy, I took medication, did meditation, yoga, aromatherapy and it took me almost 10 months to feel ok again. But sadly it came back as anticipatory anxiety and again my life feels like a nightmare. I found this video and the last tip you mention was like a painkiller to my suffering. I closed my eyes and changed the story of my previous worst moments of anxiety and it helped me a lot!!!! Thank you Deniss for helping us understand and handle our fears.

Nausea, knot in my stomach, and derealization are the most debilitating for me, in that order. This also reflects the severity of my anxiety in the moment. Indigestion is a daily occurrence for me, which can turn to nausea if I'm anxious enough. Then I'll begin to notice knots or churning in the pit of my stomach as I go about my normal activities, eventually leading to a panic attack if I'm not careful with my thoughts. All of my panic attacks come with derealization, where I begin to lose my grip on what's real around me, making it so much harder to calm down because it feels so dangerous to be in that state. It took me learning that I had to sit with, feel, and accept the feelings of dread in my body before I found any real relief and soon stopped experiencing panic attacks and derealization to that degree. The difference is monumental from the days when I was having panic attacks every week or two and would wake up before sunrise needing to throw up for no reason and spend the day with constant dread in my stomach. I still have anxiety and indigestion that I now treat holistically, aside from the occasional antacid. I will say that I went on an SSRI for almost a year when I was having these episodes regularly, which didn't solve the issue for me but helped me feel in control enough to work through it myself. Now, I'm off all meds and can experience the same thoughts or sensations that used to devolve into panic and ease them out of my body using mindfulness and breathing exercises. I haven't dissociated in 2 years and I'm still working to improve every day so that I don't have those terrifying experiences in the future.

I wake up at night shaking uncontrollably and I hate the shortness of breath and the heart racing. I also feel adrenaline coming up from my stomach up gets the panic going.

Going through your inner circle program, three weeks five days in.... just found this video, I have suffered for 6 years with these three symptoms cycling over and to know I'm not going mad, and really good to know I'm not Dennis....thank you.

Thank you for putting these videos out! I am so glad to have found you. My top 3 symptoms are: Dizziness, upset stomach, and brain fog. I thought for YEARS I was just stupid. It wasn't until I realized I had brain fog that I was able to change my diet and begin working on my inner thoughts, and I'm now beginning to see changes in the right direction. It's a process for sure.
