Ahhhhh, I’ve been waiting for the update! 💜 Just wanted to let you know that we hear you, we see you.. it sucks getting sucked in again. But: Thank you for making this video, for being honest, for being open, for sharing.. Recently visited a new psychiatrist and now I’ll be evaluated for OCD and ADHD - no matter the outcome, a big part of this therapy will apparently be about acceptance and strengthening the “tolerance” to uncertainty. It’s important to ask for help. It’s important to know that we’re not alone. Just as you said. And YOUR video was one of the reasons why I sought the help of that psychiatrist (he’s a specialist and consultant for the disease I worried about, but directly understood that that’s probably not the actual problem😅). So please continue sharing your work and whatever you feel like sharing, because there’s definitely someone (like me) listening. 💜
@WolfgangKern2 күн бұрын
Thank you for much for watching and sharing your current ongoing process. Means a lot 😊 Yes, acceptance is the key. Much harder than it sounds but it's a constant process of getting better. Weirdly for me it's also accepting myself. I think. A big part of my anxiety is also that I'm not always happy with myself and where I'm standing in life. I have a hard time comparing myself and therefore accepting my path. Thank you for your kind words. I wish you the best 🙏

Ever since the pandemic I have been having extreme excruciating amounts of anxiety to the point where I was questioning my own sanity. I felt so distant from the world and it almost felt like nothing else mattered in the world but my own anxiety and I was just so hypervigilant, and I couldn't focus on anything else other than the anxiety parts. I've had days when I was having so many different physical symptoms that just didn't make any sense. I could give a whole list right now of what I went through but it would be way too long But the main ones were head pressures, chest pains, body randomly shaking, tremors, heart palpitations, uneasiness, panic mode, intrusive thoughts, numbness, air hunger, body feeling weaker than usual, dizziness (not often though), muscle aches, muscle twitching, impending doom, depersonalisation, brain fog, insomnia, paranoia. List goes on and on... I remember having thoughts I never had before. I would feel so stressed out to the point where my body felt so drained and so overworked. I was barely working out at the time The minute I got my first panic attack everything just instantly changed for the worse for me because everything went downhill and now I'm still trying to feel as normal as I possibly can but man, it's hard. I've never had anything like this ever happen to me before but this is wild. It's a damn beast. I just never knew how intense and how powerful it felt to have health anxiety but I guess now I know! Wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling as well. Yes, Anxiety is the worst because it feels like the worst. It completely detaches you from reality and puts you into this alternative reality where doom and gloom is around every corner. I hope you are on your way to get better. Living with anxiety shows great strength and at the same time the ability to also manage it. I just released a second video, basically two years later talking about how anxiety changed for me. I'm also referring to the books of Joshua Fletcher which helped me a lot in understanding anxiety and what it does in the body.

Stress and rushing tighten up my mind like a coiled up snake. We have to learn to frequently monitor our stress/emotional level. I like to use biofeedback devices such as Inner Balance and Heart Math. Open mouth breathing is very bad but it’s a hard habit to break. I put a bit of tape on the corner of my mouth to remind me. That and physically and mentally, slowing down are two tools I am trying to utilize every day. Good, sound sleep plus healthy diet and daily outdoor exercise help me, too. I just have to be disciplined. Good luck,

I'm currently going through a terrible bout which has been going on some three months now, it never normally lasts this long and it's pure hell to say the least! Watching your video helped me see that I can learn better ways of dealing with the anxiety and that I'm not alone (Even though I wish you didn't have to go through it) I'm hoping to start therapy soon myself again but this time I want to continue with it long-term and hopefully learn how to not let the anxiety control me and my everyday life in such a profound way anymore.

Thank you. This is all quite familiar. It comes and goes, and when it comes it does so by sneaking up on you and it takes a while till you realise what's going on. Since about 2010 I've experienced some of the craziest and most confusing situations and they have driven doctors, my family and myself mad. My impression is that OCD is connected (in my case anyway), and I need to get some help with CBT. In the meantime I mostly now use a dumb phone to restrict Google searches. On other devices I am careful to avoid searching for anything that might trigger me, or if I make a wrong move I quickly back out.
@WolfgangKernАй бұрын
Sorry to hear that you are struggling as well. I tried to limit myself as well for some time but I quickly saw that avoiding it, didn't help me in the long run. For example I didn't watch movies anymore with a certain subject. But I found exposure to a certain degree (my therapist was a great help) was very helpful and slowly got me back. CBT i can highly recommend. And for me, understanding what's happening in the body in terms of hormones also helped a lot. I could then name it and just call it what it was: just anxiety :) I wish you the best. Stay strong.

Thank you for having courage to tell of the event which turned your life and vision of the future totally around.You give others hope to also heal from this kind of trauma. A right hand injury is something that most doctors recoil from treating. This I experienced also when those who could help me... the doctors.. walked past me while I sat there with my gnawed right hand. It took hours before a doctor turned up who actually was prepared to come near me and touch my hand. They needed a specialist hand doctor which was something that hospital didn't have. When a right hand injury happens to you it causes your inner being to go on pause. I. M so grateful that you timed this video ten years later to give others hope and that you wake up to start overcoming your fears again. This I mean is the revulsion we see in others and I point out the revulsion some doctors show at us for bringing out their humanity towards us.

I'm feeling really sorry for you ... I too struggled the same ...but alhamdulillah now coping with it by considering it as a blessing as when ever I get my self rushed around the world Allah gives me this anxiety so I slow down a bit and get nearer to Allah , secondly I don't rush to the Dr anymore I give my every symptom whether a stomach ache, nausea , body ache or anything atleast 3 days if it doesn't go away thn I go to the Dr , moreover I don't google anything anymore as it never gives you the whole picture as I remember having high esinophils counts google shows it cancer and I panicked whole month with out considering tht my platelets, haemoglobin, RBCs were all fine and it was body's natural defense system against allergic particles, moreover I changed my perspective about illness if you are to get some disease you will get it if Allah wills it for you so all I can do is to pray and having faith on my prayers being accepted as I ask Allah Im too weak to bear this test never get me in this test and trail please....and I believe on the acceptance of my prayers , moreover disease is not synonymous to game over , human body is a machine wear tears are so acceptable, so just don't panic , we can't control everything about our body ... Allah made it in the best of moulds , Allah gives disease and he cures and for every single pain there is reward , so it's a blessing... Being close to the creator is the ultimate solace , none can give you hope except Allah ... I feel myself way to calmer now alhamdulillah my prayers for everyone...❤️

Anxiety can't hurt us, but it can definitely change our lives. You are strong. You will overcome this. And talking about it, is super important as well. So many people suffer in silence.

The constant body-checks, non-existent self-care, being scared of the feeling of joy.. On top of that, being a lonely international university student dealing with various sources of stress (economic worries about my family, constant self-loathing, desperately trying to improve, and pushing my abilities to their limits) just cracked my brain this week. The idea of slowly dying without achieving anything that I want to achieve started filling up my mind (I am getting irritated just by writing this sentence)... Being able to put myself in your shoes and learning how this can be treated and managed and the fact that it is all in my anxious brain brought an unfathomable moment of relief.

Just remember, Anxiety doesn't define you. It can't hurt you. It is JUST anxiety. There are things in life we can't control. And coming to terms with that, is a big step towards accepting anxiety as part of us. It's a normal bodily function and you will rewire your brain again.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can tell you it's worth staying strong. Accepting it as part of you and enforcing tools that help you rewire your brain will help. You can and will do it. There are a lot of great books out there. Joshua Fletcher helped me a lot with his books. And keep being open about it. A lot of people suffer in silence and way more people do suffer.

@WolfgangKern thank you! I have some CT scans and re-do blood work next week..possibly MRI. Feels hard to function in the anxiety. Praying they all come back clear than I will meet with a therapist and try to heal from this. Thanks again and I agree we need to speak more about it!

@np1324 what started as a sinus infection taking 2 round of antibiotics to clear turned into thinking the infection spread in my body turned into thinking I had some sort of obstruction in my sinuses. Now I have tingling in my arms and I know from anxiety and panic attacks from the sinus infection situation I have SO much neck and shoulder tension. But I saw a chiro today who said she didn't lile the way my neck felt and wanted me to get an MRI. I told her I just had xrays and I have straightening of my neck curve form tension likely. My fingers also hurt, headaches. But her words "I don't lile the way your neck feels and I've felt many necks" and requesting and MRI making it sound like it's a tumor. She doesnt know what ive been going thru with health anxiety and such, so i keep reminding myself of that too. I keep telling myself it's all from stress and tension from the anxiety. I'm consumed by fear and my mind is so loud with all the what ifs. I also carry my 22 lbs one year old which I'm sure doesn't help my tension.

Only way u can get over anxiety is by truly accepting it. Instead of fighting it when it comes on u accept it all. It’s called expose therapy . All anxiety is is false alarms telling your brain there’s danger when really there’s no danger at all, when u learn it accept it everytime instead of fighting it your brain eventually learns that these are false alarms and they stop. I used to have it for years so bad I couldn’t even leave the house. And now I have currently been anxiety free for 3 years, all it took was me reading “Claire weekes” book and learning this method another good book that describes this method is the book “Dare” trust me from someone who knows the worse thing u can do with anxiety it fight it or cope with it.

Thanks for sharing this. And I 100% agree. The brain can be rewired pretty fast but it can be hard work. But it's totally worth it
@Spiff223642 ай бұрын
No problem. If I did it anyone can. I did it with out any medicine at all, went from not even being able to leave the house without having a panic attack to completely overcoming it. I would really encourage people to read or listen to Claire weekes and I hope it changes their life the way it did mine.

The follow-up video is online. Two years later. It's for sure a journey. Thanks again for all the love, support and for YOU. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6CM2cd7dq_TiZc.html
First time Health Anxiety hits me 4 years ago. I believed that I am cured. Now it’s back to me with stronger symptoms and I can’t get rid of it as easy as it was first time. Watching you I am feel understood. All the best to you mate!
I'm sorry to hear. I felt very similar. But it came back full force. I know you can get it under control. I wish you the best. And thank you for watching 🙏
Ahhhhh, I’ve been waiting for the update! 💜 Just wanted to let you know that we hear you, we see you.. it sucks getting sucked in again. But: Thank you for making this video, for being honest, for being open, for sharing.. Recently visited a new psychiatrist and now I’ll be evaluated for OCD and ADHD - no matter the outcome, a big part of this therapy will apparently be about acceptance and strengthening the “tolerance” to uncertainty. It’s important to ask for help. It’s important to know that we’re not alone. Just as you said. And YOUR video was one of the reasons why I sought the help of that psychiatrist (he’s a specialist and consultant for the disease I worried about, but directly understood that that’s probably not the actual problem😅). So please continue sharing your work and whatever you feel like sharing, because there’s definitely someone (like me) listening. 💜
Thank you for much for watching and sharing your current ongoing process. Means a lot 😊 Yes, acceptance is the key. Much harder than it sounds but it's a constant process of getting better. Weirdly for me it's also accepting myself. I think. A big part of my anxiety is also that I'm not always happy with myself and where I'm standing in life. I have a hard time comparing myself and therefore accepting my path. Thank you for your kind words. I wish you the best 🙏
Ever since the pandemic I have been having extreme excruciating amounts of anxiety to the point where I was questioning my own sanity. I felt so distant from the world and it almost felt like nothing else mattered in the world but my own anxiety and I was just so hypervigilant, and I couldn't focus on anything else other than the anxiety parts. I've had days when I was having so many different physical symptoms that just didn't make any sense. I could give a whole list right now of what I went through but it would be way too long But the main ones were head pressures, chest pains, body randomly shaking, tremors, heart palpitations, uneasiness, panic mode, intrusive thoughts, numbness, air hunger, body feeling weaker than usual, dizziness (not often though), muscle aches, muscle twitching, impending doom, depersonalisation, brain fog, insomnia, paranoia. List goes on and on... I remember having thoughts I never had before. I would feel so stressed out to the point where my body felt so drained and so overworked. I was barely working out at the time The minute I got my first panic attack everything just instantly changed for the worse for me because everything went downhill and now I'm still trying to feel as normal as I possibly can but man, it's hard. I've never had anything like this ever happen to me before but this is wild. It's a damn beast. I just never knew how intense and how powerful it felt to have health anxiety but I guess now I know! Wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling as well. Yes, Anxiety is the worst because it feels like the worst. It completely detaches you from reality and puts you into this alternative reality where doom and gloom is around every corner. I hope you are on your way to get better. Living with anxiety shows great strength and at the same time the ability to also manage it. I just released a second video, basically two years later talking about how anxiety changed for me. I'm also referring to the books of Joshua Fletcher which helped me a lot in understanding anxiety and what it does in the body.
Accepting and not controlling anxiety is the way, it’s super hard to learn but it’s worth the battle. We will just keep on keeping on! 💪🏻
100% 😊
Thank you for video 100% relate its horrible no one understands
Sorry to hear. I'm working on a new video. It's been some time now. But I've gained some new knowledge. I wish you the best. Keeping working on it.
@@WolfgangKern thank you been walking around with symptoms 24/7 and I’ve been looking for reassurance ever since because I’m so terrified. GAD is no joke and acceptance is even harder
@@lisadelange5223 It's the worst because it feels real. Breaking out of this cycle is hard but possible. And knowing you are still here, standing against it, shows your strength
Stress and rushing tighten up my mind like a coiled up snake. We have to learn to frequently monitor our stress/emotional level. I like to use biofeedback devices such as Inner Balance and Heart Math. Open mouth breathing is very bad but it’s a hard habit to break. I put a bit of tape on the corner of my mouth to remind me. That and physically and mentally, slowing down are two tools I am trying to utilize every day. Good, sound sleep plus healthy diet and daily outdoor exercise help me, too. I just have to be disciplined. Good luck,
Yes. You are so right. Ultimately everyone has to find their own way but those tools you've mentioned are great to be more aware of anxiety building up. I wish you the best. And thank you for sharing and for watching 🙏
So many questions: Why her? What was it? Why don’t the victims ever just leave and call the police when there’s a chance that some kind of threat is in their home? Just wondering…
If I ever will make a sequel or proper short, I will try to answer those questions 😊 thanks for watching 🙏
“Fear of life changing from one moment to the other” - I’ve never heard a better explanation of health anxiety.. Currently convinced of having a genetic disease that runs in my family after having anxiety over 100 other diseases over the last 27 years. 🙈 It’s tough.. but we’re not alone. Thank you for this video. 💛🙏🏻🫶

Very short film!
Hence the title 😁
After two years of making this video, I'm beyond grateful for the response, the comments and messages. Thank you. I am thinking of doing a follow up to this video. Is that something you would be interested in?
I for one would love for you to do a follow up. I also have health anxiety and have dealt with bouts of it since the age of 16, I'm 39 now and still continue to deal with it. I'm currently going through a terrible bout which has been going on some three months now, it never normally lasts this long and it's pure hell to say the least! Watching your video helped me see that I can learn better ways of dealing with the anxiety and that I'm not alone (Even though I wish you didn't have to go through it) I'm hoping to start therapy soon myself again but this time I want to continue with it long-term and hopefully learn how to not let the anxiety control me and my everyday life in such a profound way anymore. I hope and pray that things have continued to improve for you and would love an update. "I'm still here and so are you!"
@@emmarowan9197 thank you for your kind words. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with it again. I hope therapy helps and will provide you with the tools you need. You will master this 😊
This was such a great watch - would love to see a follow up video to this one :)

This is a very good short video, but I know that my doors are NEVER unlocked!
Thank you :D And yes, keep them locked
thank you. i believe i have had health anxiety for a while now, always had these unexplainable headaches and was convinced that something must be terribly wrong. i guess anxiety can produce a lot of actual symptoms if it goes unrecognized. still learning, but the video helped me in that there is hope.
It's crazy what the body can do. And with anxiety you can literally have any symptoms. And they can change. So it's initially really hard to keep track of it. I wish you the best and thank you for watching my video 🙏
I'm very sorry for what happened to you. Thanks for being so brave to tell your story.
Thanks for taking time and watching 😊🙏
@@WolfgangKern my pleasure 🙏
I think for us creatives self-doubt is one of the biggest challenges. Never gotten to know one creative person who hadn't struggled with it at some point in their life. But it's absolutely beautiful to see when someone tries to overcome it. After all, it is difficult to pursue a creative hobby - let alone a career - in our world. But it's so worth it because to me creating is one of the most fulfilling things to do. Thanks for the beautiful message 😊
Thank you so much for sharing. And for watching and leaving a comment 🙏😊 I love creating and I'm grateful to do it for a living
I know what you feel… everything just back to me after 3 years of being fine. On Monday I am back on therapy and already back to medication 😥 I have cancerophohia
I'm sorry to hear. But you have already come this far. Anxiety comes in waves and unfortunately sometimes hits you out of nowhere. You are.on a good path. I wish you the best
@@WolfgangKern thank you mate! I started reading again great book - “How To Stop Worrying And Start Living” Carnegie Dale. Maybe it will help here somebody else too
Thank you. This is all quite familiar. It comes and goes, and when it comes it does so by sneaking up on you and it takes a while till you realise what's going on. Since about 2010 I've experienced some of the craziest and most confusing situations and they have driven doctors, my family and myself mad. My impression is that OCD is connected (in my case anyway), and I need to get some help with CBT. In the meantime I mostly now use a dumb phone to restrict Google searches. On other devices I am careful to avoid searching for anything that might trigger me, or if I make a wrong move I quickly back out.
Sorry to hear that you are struggling as well. I tried to limit myself as well for some time but I quickly saw that avoiding it, didn't help me in the long run. For example I didn't watch movies anymore with a certain subject. But I found exposure to a certain degree (my therapist was a great help) was very helpful and slowly got me back. CBT i can highly recommend. And for me, understanding what's happening in the body in terms of hormones also helped a lot. I could then name it and just call it what it was: just anxiety :) I wish you the best. Stay strong.
this is worse when you actually have a illness or not ? lol It hard to tell , what is reality ? Are my thoughts real at all ?
I don't know what's worse. Yeah, the thoughts are scary and they become reality. That's the part where it can ruin your life or make it very miserable
Thank you for having courage to tell of the event which turned your life and vision of the future totally around.You give others hope to also heal from this kind of trauma. A right hand injury is something that most doctors recoil from treating. This I experienced also when those who could help me... the doctors.. walked past me while I sat there with my gnawed right hand. It took hours before a doctor turned up who actually was prepared to come near me and touch my hand. They needed a specialist hand doctor which was something that hospital didn't have. When a right hand injury happens to you it causes your inner being to go on pause. I. M so grateful that you timed this video ten years later to give others hope and that you wake up to start overcoming your fears again. This I mean is the revulsion we see in others and I point out the revulsion some doctors show at us for bringing out their humanity towards us.
Thank you - for your kind words and for watching my video. I know life sometimes challenges us in different ways but I know we can overcome anything if there is a will. It's what we make out of it. And yes, sometimes a little time is also needed. And good people to take care of things.
Hii I have never been through this kind of experience but if i imagine also it gives me goose bumps As human we complain for so many things in life but ur story gives an inspiration to live n teaches that b thankful for whatever u have n never give up..!! 👍🏻✌
Thank you 😊 I very much appreciate that.
I don't know what to say. We probably don't know how hard this must have been. May Jesus Chirst bless you and your life.
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Thank you for this video. Your story is very similar to mine. And the fact that your t-shirt says Billy really hit home since that’s my name… it’s like this video was made for me
I'm sorry to hear that. One of my favorite shirts 😊 I hope you know that you are strong. You can and will master this. Be open about it. Talk about it. Reach out if you need to talk. And also, thanks for watching this video. It means a lot 🙏
@@WolfgangKern Thanks for the reply so soon! I have engaged in CBT but I didn't find that extremely helpful, but it was nice to be able to try it anyway. I tend not to be as worried as I used to be, but just yesterday I had a bad anxiety attack which caused me to come across your video. It just goes to show how health anxiety can come and go so randomly. By the way, your youtube channel is so underrated, I've subscribed on all my accounts!
@@billy7657 Joshua Fletcher has some great books on anxiety. Helped me to understand it more and learn what it does in your body. Anxiety comes in waves. But if you got good days and then a bad one again, it's a sign of progress. You are doing something right. Thank you so much 🙏😊
Thank you for this video. Your story is very similar to mine. And the fact that your t-shirt says Billy really hit home since that’s my name… it’s like this video was made for me
I'm feeling really sorry for you ... I too struggled the same ...but alhamdulillah now coping with it by considering it as a blessing as when ever I get my self rushed around the world Allah gives me this anxiety so I slow down a bit and get nearer to Allah , secondly I don't rush to the Dr anymore I give my every symptom whether a stomach ache, nausea , body ache or anything atleast 3 days if it doesn't go away thn I go to the Dr , moreover I don't google anything anymore as it never gives you the whole picture as I remember having high esinophils counts google shows it cancer and I panicked whole month with out considering tht my platelets, haemoglobin, RBCs were all fine and it was body's natural defense system against allergic particles, moreover I changed my perspective about illness if you are to get some disease you will get it if Allah wills it for you so all I can do is to pray and having faith on my prayers being accepted as I ask Allah Im too weak to bear this test never get me in this test and trail please....and I believe on the acceptance of my prayers , moreover disease is not synonymous to game over , human body is a machine wear tears are so acceptable, so just don't panic , we can't control everything about our body ... Allah made it in the best of moulds , Allah gives disease and he cures and for every single pain there is reward , so it's a blessing... Being close to the creator is the ultimate solace , none can give you hope except Allah ... I feel myself way to calmer now alhamdulillah my prayers for everyone...❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. Yes. We have to learn to trust. And accept to let go of things we can't control. Well put, my friend.
Thank you for this video 😢 needed to hear this
Thank you for watching. I'm sorry you are struggling. But you are strong. You can overcome this.
I m in the loop stuck
Sorry to hear that. Already tried therapy, CBT or something else?
@@WolfgangKern Yes ,have tried CBT but i am getting symptoms every other day and my test are coming negative,dont know what to do ,surfed google alot and getting more anxiety cause many saying it is the symptom of the health issue which you are scared of
@@saadsohail2906 yeah, try to really stay away from Google. Also if you got tested and your doctor tells you, you are fine, keep telling yourself exactly that. It is just anxiety and it can't hurt you. I can recommend the books by Joshua Fletcher. He provides great insights into anxiety, how it works in your body and tips in how to manage it.
@@WolfgangKern Yes please do recommend
Simple straightforward murder case, not horror!
Yes, basically 😁
We convince ourselves of being sick, dying etc.... Why can't we convince ourselves to be happy and fulfilled?
Good point and let me tell you, you actually can :) You can transform the negative thoughts. In CBT you basically just do that.
Ive struggled with health anxiety for years. I've been through some of the most dark times. Havent been able to be a good father or a good husband. Only recently, I've plucked up the courage to actually watch other peoples experiences, and it made me feel like im not alone. I honestly pray for anyone who suffers from this. Being a 28 yesr old male, i struggled to accept that i suffer with this, but once you realise your not alone, accepting is a way forward.
Also, thank you for making the video. You'll be glad to know that there's people out there like me who really appreciate it. We are not alone
@@RegwooH I'm sorry you are struggling. I can tell you that you are on a good way. Every path is different but in the end it pays off. It's worth it. You are strong. Keep being open about it. If you have not tried CBT, I can only recommend it. Also the books by Joshua Fletcher are amazing.
Amazing video! 💙
Thank you 😁
I started having intensely painful pelvic floor dysfunction several years ago and it caused me to develop severe health anxiety. I was having soul-crushing panic attacks daily as I endured constant burning and stabbing physical agony in my groin and pelvic region over which I had NO control. My doctors found not one single issue. I wasn’t convinced and I’d often lie in bed contemplating suicide because I couldn’t continue enduring so much every waking moment. With tons of help I’ve overcome the pain and the majority of my health anxiety. Life will never be the same but I’m still so grateful and happy to be here. Stay strong!
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you are still here. You are very strong for not only going through this but for keeping your head up even when life isn't easy at all. Keep on going. And I hope this story will help someone else who feels lost and alone.
This is exactly what set my already existing health anxiety over the edge. I’m so grateful there’s some else out there who gets it. It’s absolutely terrifying but I am hoping to be where you are in my health anxiety journey one day.
@@ashleek4481 sorry to hear that. Yes, you are not alone. And you will also manage it and overcome anxiety. The fact that you came this far proves how strong you are.

With you brother. I've had it for over 10 years.. actually 14 years acutely. It's awful 😖
Sorry to hear. Hope you are doing better now. Any tips on what helped you the most?
That's one of the most frustrating things. You think you are getting better and eventually things derail you for periods of time. I have ptsd and panic disorder. Way to be brave and put this put there.
I'm sorry to hear that. Yes. It definitely comes in waves but that's usually also a sign that you are doing something that helps you get better. Especially after a longer period of time of being good, It sucks to feel like you are back where you've started. But that's not the case. Therapy and so many books can help. I wish you the best and hang in there. It's worth it
@@WolfgangKern Oh yes. I've tried it all. Books, many different types of therapy, medication, meditation etc etc. It's been over 15 years. I've just kind of come to the conclusion that this is just always something I will deal with to some extent.

dude. im 39.never in my life had problem with health anxiety.what happen was ( i think ) that triggered this in me- for last 5 years me and my Gf had a quite rough time.a lot of events like- my GF knee surgery/ my son 2 surgerys over 2 years/ death in familly / Covid/ i had a Boil on back of my head ,size of the half of apple,and finally my ex girlfriend /mother of my son got diagnosed with cancer.... soo ive started to convince myself that i will probably die soon/ something bad gonna happen to me. i had problerms with depresion /anxiety in the past ( not health related ) so i now could figure out the symptoms.Baiscally rn i have conctant IBS , twisted gut feeling. but withh vieos like Yours help me to remember that this is only my anxiety ta;king.thanks dude!
Sorry to hear. We all got so much shit thrown at us but that is just a testament for your strength. I wish you the best. Keep up the spirit. It’s worth it. Check out Joshua fletchers books on anxiety. Helped me tremendously
I am sorry it came back for u please be strong remember it’s just fear it sucks it’s hard just remember we can do this I Tell some people they shut me up don’t want to hear it it’s sad
Psychologist explained how anxiety works I know but after number of specialists Doctors visits I know but I don’t believe them. We have to believe and accept the symptoms instead of fighting makes it worse. I never knew I would have a fear activated I was scared but doing exposure and symptoms get strong
Health Anxiety started a year now I had no idea when Dr said u have anxiety I said no something is wrong I feel sick I had so many symptoms changing now main problem is headaches and dizziness I have fear that I am going to die. I went to so many doctors specialists Osteo Chiro Physio Acupuncture Neurologist nothing worked I spend Thousands of dollars asking for help and nothing. It’s a nightmare
I'm sorry to hear... Unfortunately not many doctors are familiar with anxiety. Ruling out other problems is important. But then the hard work begins. Cognitive Behavioral therapy is probably the best way to treat anxiety. It's all about rewiring the brain, accepting the fact that some things are out of our control. Anxiety can't hurt us, but it can definitely change our lives. You are strong. You will overcome this. And talking about it, is super important as well. So many people suffer in silence. And there are so many of us.
@@WolfgangKern I do hope it’s just anxiety as I find it hard to believe. The Intrusive Thoughts r not fun I ask God to help us get thru this It’s our brain playing tricks on us my Psychologist Told Me it’s all from some Trauma and one day activates and then physical symptoms. She believes I will get thru this so I ask God to help me
@@WolfgangKern How r u now since it’s been a while since u posted this video? Do you see a Psychologist?
@@Rhianna2023 I'm doing well. I went to therapy for a few years. And I did a lot of CBT work at home with books. But I learned that anxiety won't really go away. It's part of me but I can live with that 😊
@@Rhianna2023 you will get through this. Your body can work in both directions. It can make you feel sick but it can also heal you from this. I know, the doc can tell you all of fine but after a few days you get those what if feelings again and you question everything they said. Trusting in your body that it is healthy and you just got anxiety Is a massive step towards getting better
I normally don't comment on videos, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is crazy how much I can relate to you. The constant body-checks, non-existent self-care, being scared of the feeling of joy.. On top of that, being a lonely international university student dealing with various sources of stress (economic worries about my family, constant self-loathing, desperately trying to improve, and pushing my abilities to their limits) just cracked my brain this week. The idea of slowly dying without achieving anything that I want to achieve started filling up my mind (I am getting irritated just by writing this sentence)... Being able to put myself in your shoes and learning how this can be treated and managed and the fact that it is all in my anxious brain brought an unfathomable moment of relief. Thank you for making this video.. You deserve every good thing coming your way (even though you may not feel like it).
Your comment just made me tear up. Thank you for sharing part of your story and being open. Also thank you for watching and your very sweet words. I promise you if you keep pushing, you will overcome this. And you will learn how to handle it in the future. The fact that you are dealing with so many things AND anxiety, shows how strong you are. Just remember, Anxiety doesn't define you. It can't hurt you. It is JUST anxiety. There are things in life we can't control. And coming to terms with that, is a big step towards accepting anxiety as part of us. It's a normal bodily function and you will rewire your brain again. I can recommend the books of Joshua Fletcher, his two books helped me a lot in understanding anxiety and in making the first changes towards overcoming it. I wish you the best and feel free to reach out anytime. Here, on Insta or wherever
We are sick, because this world is a screwed up place, no one likes this world today.
The world is screwed up yes. But I think we have to try to see the good things because they are still there. And being optimistic is key when dealing with anxiety. I wish you the best. You are strong.

And now I have currently been anxiety free for 3 years, all it took was me reading “Claire weekes” book and learning this method another good book that describes this method is the book “Dare” trust me from someone who knows the worse thing u can do with anxiety it fight it or cope with it.
Thanks for sharing this. And I 100% agree. The brain can be rewired pretty fast but it can be hard work. But it's totally worth it
No problem. If I did it anyone can. I did it with out any medicine at all, went from not even being able to leave the house without having a panic attack to completely overcoming it. I would really encourage people to read or listen to Claire weekes and I hope it changes their life the way it did mine.
