Stop coping and start healing anxiety at the root starting today: theanxietyguy.com/all-programs/

1. Rest physically AND mentally 2. Mild physical exercise (walking, biking etc…) 3. Diminishing use of electronic devices, staying away from modem etc… (not overdoing it either) 4. Connect with nature daily 5. Reflect on your habits that may cause this 6. Patience, give yourself time to heal

I'm going to listen to this hundreds of times. What he is explaining... It is exactly me. I don't feel anxious but the waves and physical symptoms come daily

Anyone else also feel chronic fatigue and sometimes tingling pain like pins and needles everywhere?

Ah yes - the worrying/doership - that magical thinking that you have to "apply" a certain amount of worry to something - to prevent it from happening - WOW that was eye opening for me after all these years of doing this!

I know that this is something I’m experiencing bc I’m in my healing journey, going through therapy etc.. and I feel like I’m getting stronger and better but it is a process. When ur healing and growing u begin to notice so many things brought on by the disorder for example with me I find my self moving 90% of the day, where small or large movements. Just in general my nervous system is so amped and ramped lol. It’s helpful to know that we can overome this … I’m praying for everyone on this journey! Thanks Dennis for ur wisdom and transparency ❤

Zaps and chest pain...day after day after day.......trying to communicate with and calm the inner child, but he's seemingly not listening. Just a trip to the $ store to pick up a few items is a challenge. I hate it. I'm aging faster than I should be.

Omg....what you just spoke about is totally me! I have had anxiety, my whole life. I have been anxious about everything I have ever . I just thought that everyone was like that! My ego centered mind has always taken the lead. I have always listened to it. It never occurred to me that I didn't have to listen to it. I have a masters degree and have worked professionally for over 30 years. I went to work every day with lots of anxiety. I always tried to hide it from my coworkers. A light bulb moment for me. Thank you Dennis so much.

Multiple traumas from a child until my late 20s left me in a state of chronic fight or flight. Relaxing has been the most difficult thing. As you describe my body is so used to being hypersensitive and vigilant to everything around me and in my body. I hope if I keep doing what your videos say I’ll one day be better. It’s so exhausting 😢❤

I get hyperstimulation from texting or talking on the phone, going to store, taking a shower, etc. Basically from everything

Thank you Dennis Been experiencing a lot of these odd symptoms and always wonder about them. During a conversation I sometimes feel like my body wants to just get rid of it as quickly as possible and escape, the lights , loud noises and the blurry vision / off balance / as well as getting irritated upset very easily

Thank you so much!!! I have ocd, gad, panic attacks and adhd and they have consumed my life for about 18 months now. And i feel like my body is always in electric shock or vibrating with anxiety. You are a blessing to all of us that struggle! I get so hopeless at times and recently your meditations ate helpingg me so much!

This is really relevant to me at this time. I’ve let the main sources of my stress go the past six months yet I still feel jacked up. I appreciate this perspective. Makes total sense.

Hit so many excellent points, all of which hit home. "I'm better now, so I can go back to doing the things that got me here in the first place." YES. 🤦‍♂️😱😤😤

I truly believe that hyperstimulation is what has been causing my sensations for a few years now. I became aware of this last year and I'm so glad you're addressing it in this video. My problem continues to be trusting that this is actually what I'm going through. It's all "uncomfortable energy" as you have said. I feel there are times during in each day that I am making progress but there always seems to be something hanging around that brings me back to fear. I know it's all "me" like you just said. I know what to do (thanks to you) and I just need to trust and be more consistent. Thank you Dennis for all that you're doing.

This was so helpful! Thank you! Another symptom I experience is feeling like my vision is almost too clear. I can see something move from the corner of my eye across the room. The lights bother me at times too.

I would also suggest people with ongoing anxiety with no real external.cause look into BVD. Binocular Vision Dysfunction. It is essentially your eyes misaligned horizontally or vertically. It causes so much stress on your brain and ocular nerves resulting in your subconscious mind sending alert signals. Vertigo, migraines, anxiety, burn out, overstimulated in shops/crowds, social anxiety are all symptoms of BVD plus so many more. A Neuro optician can diagnose and prescribe prism glasses. Resources and an online questionnaire can be found on KZfaq channels talking about this. Best wishes and I hope this helps someone - it has helped me immensely.

Denis, thank you for this tutorial. This is exactly how I live: Chronic Stress. I wake up feeling anxious and the sensation never goes away, even if I'm not doing anything that day or moment. I will watch this over and over again. You're a Gift from God!

wow I feel so happy you brought up the muscle twitching. I've had this and parasthesia in my face for 4.5 years. I am so happy you brought up hyperstimulation. I think i'm figuring out a lot of things now on the healing path but my body just hasn't caught up...

I must say that my confusion remains regarding hyperstimulation and exercise. I’ve been reading from multiple sources that we should train vigorously when under hyperstimulation to help burn excess adrenaline off. I’ve been running and although my stamina has shot up I am still sensitized. I feel like I’m “plugged in” as you say. One thing I haven’t tried though is resting! 😂 So I guess that’s next on the list…or at least going a lot lighter. Regarding the EMFs, I’ve recently thought about that as I wear a smart watch daily but if I’m still being triggered by intrusive thoughts I guess I should look at those first before I blame the watch 😂 Thanks Dennis great video.

I have such a hard time resting. I really don't know to do it.

Cant wait to listen to this with tea later 😂does anyone else do this😅xx

I like how you talk about doing mini vacations throughout the day, I usually do 3, 5 minute ones each day. I also follow your program every single morning and its keeping me committed, I see a lot of progress. Thank you for all your videos

This entire video is exactly ME! Yo ur comment which really resonated with me ws that I am the reason my anxiety keeps increasing. My ego mind is in control. I am definitely Hyperstimulated and have been for the majority of my life. I have always been stressed out, worried, etc. I just thought that was how everyone was. I am the only one who can stop this cycle. I will give it my best and I will succeed! Thank you Dennis for all you do.

Milos reconnecting with nature behind you. I love animals! 🐕

I had a GREAT day today. I was fine! Ran errands, had lunch with hubby, we laughed, we watched movies and I cooked dinner for the kids. Amazing day!! Than while watching a movie, BAM! A sharp pain on my left temple. I’m like, wait, what was that? I don’t have a headache so I immediately started massaging my temple and than the over thinking began but I’m keeping myself calm, took a nap so I won’t feel it again but woke up from a nap feeling it on both temples now. Again. I’m not jumping up and down, I’m still calm but like what’s going on!? I got up and felt dizzy and my both feels tingly, my toes and fingers. Usually this would put me in panic mode but I’m controlling that part. Currently laying in bed trying to get this to pass. 😢 I hate that I go thru this.

I experienced this and will analyze why I'm feeling the way I do. It's like I go from peace to symptoms out of nowhere then I worry and then the conscious anxiety kick in and so the vicious cycle. This is a default mode.

thankyou that really spoke to me it all makes sense keep going thankyou agen so much x

I have all the above! Endless cycle

The analogy of someone sitting in a "meditative parasympathetic state" amid chaos really spoke to me. This is all so internal.....its learning how to take that energy and make Peace with it. It's definitely a journey, one I'm grateful to be on and again thanking the Universe for you Dennis and your wisdom. 🌿🙏

I felt like a normal person before 2020. Never once knew what a panic attack was until i got one myself and now everything has changed about me. Started developing numbness, chest pains, head pressures, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, legs feeling heavy, shakiness and tremors. List goes on... its exhausting as hell..

This is all exactly me. I can relate so much! Thank you for sharing.

Alert alert alert - hyperreactive - searching out worries.

This video is great, thank you. Needed this today

7 minutes in and this video is already a game changer. Thank you Dennis.

I am so happy I found you.

Thank you so much for these reminders! They are always timely. Things are always working out for me. 😊🙏

Thanks, Anxiety Guy.👍

Thank you, so true. Lifestyle forever change. That was hard for me to get to grips with.

Thanks Dennis. You are helping me a great deal. Katrina

HAVE A GREAT DAY DENNIS!!! THANKS AS ALWAYS!

Dennis is great, I wish more ppl understood how spot on some of these videos are.

This is excellent advice. Thank you Dennis ❤️

Excellent vidéo Dennis. As usual it felt like you were speaking directly to me and my situation so highly beneficial. Thankyou, to all the others struggling have a beautiful and productive day, and yes Dennis we love you to from the bottom of Our collective hearts ❤️. 🧘🏼❤️🧠

Thanks for making this video! I listened three times. It very much applies to me. I just wish I knew this stuff many years ago, but happy to be learning it now, nonetheless. I drove myself crazy with the buzzing, convinced that there was a serious problem. It’s still present, but I don’t care much these days. Really helpful, thanks Dennis.

Thanks for another video and message Dennis! Right. That "Doership" Mindset is something that has plagued many. I have suffered from this greatly, but thankfully I am not that way anymore, I most times catch that voice and think something different. Everyday is a chance and opportunity to move further away from that old mindset. Thanks again!

Thank you Dennis

Your videos helped me a lot years ago to overcome and understand anxiety. Now I found this video to help me again. Thank you for doing this.

Wow!!! I’m working progress and learning new things everyday to help me cope….it’s a lot but it’s helping!

Thanking you from my heart.. your videos are essential for maintenance and healing! I've said it a thousand times Dennis simsek saved my life!! Peace be with you Dennis ❤️

This is an amazing wealth of information, it's amazing how he is describing exactly what I have been experiencing for so long. I have been in clinical therapy in the past but this is gold.

Omg spot on. Thank you you have nailed my problem

This is what I sm going through right now while doing the inner circle week 4 program . Wow !!!! Again Dennis, wow….. thank you 🙏🏻

Finally, you hit the nail on the head. Cptsd as a start and Iv had no reality of ongoing happiness and relaxation

Sending you tunes of gratitude! I have been going through most of the things you spoke of but not until I decided to heal. Thank you for the wisdom

Than you Dennis❤

❤Dennis I’ve been watching you for the last year and this video has spoken to me in so many ways and I appreciate you so much for your help to us all as this is a journey and you are showing me the way ! Thank you so very much ❤

The electrical socket/legs buzzing and feeling hot and tight randomly is my main thing

It was beginning to occur to me that my nervous system might be hyperstimulated after years of stress (bereavement, accident, illness), yet in a calm period now. And up pops your video to confirm😊

Great video. Need some clarity on reflect on your habits that may cause this? Also I'm feeling like the back of my neck is heavy and I get a floating feeling and this causes me to fear that my balance is off, although I've never fallen.

This video has been super helpful ❤ Thank You for Sharing ❤

I realized I just never felt relaxed even though I was just sitting down hanging out. Super internalized fear. I'm really worried about my health and future so I want to learn about what's going on and really work on being aware of my reactions to every thing ... as it's really in a heightened state right now. I appreciate all the ideas in the video.👓

Denis. First, thank you. Not sure how old this video is but you seem much healthier and happier. My life has been constant action, some by fate some by my own personality. Iranian revolution, Iran-Iraq war, moving to Germany at 14 all by myself, 7 years German middle and high school , immigration to U.S., clothing company (7 years), UCLA, law school, Aviation Maintenance School, Lockheed, Boeing, SpaceX. Just locations alone, Iran, Germany, Los Angeles, Atlanta, San Antonio Texas, Charleston SC. I feel like no one else on this planet has been through so much or has accomplished this much, and has been lonely this much. So it’s no surprise I had anxiety starting at 40, and every few years it would come back worst and worse. My sister’s sudden passing in Germany in 2011 didn’t help either. So I write this because you really have saved my life. By grace of god I came up to one of your videos “mediation for heath” and your voice calmed me down. I could relate to it. My condition was so bad in thought I couldn’t function anymore, I couldn’t even look at a phone or computer, I couldn’t be in a car without shaking. That was a year ago, I quit aerospace and started a driving school business. Yes, very stressful business but I think it was my destiny. I’m trying to not go back to that crazy life. So again your video is SPOT ON. And I 100000% agree with EMF. When I was totally dysfunctional my mom-who is 80- said to remove all digital things from my room. Even though I wasn’t using them, removing them had a calming effect on me. I’m a technical educated guy and when “scientists” say emf doesn’t have an effect I completely disagree. I am also very critical of scientists anyways. I worked at SpaceX and many scientists and physicists and mathematicians are on record saying landing a rocket is impossible. We landed rockets… one after another. So I wouldn’t be so shy about telling the truth. EMF do interfere with our brains, so do blue lights and many other things. Screw doctors and psychologists and scientists. You make more scene than all of them combined. My brother is an anesthesiologist and his muscles twitch and constantly angry. So anyways… just wanted to thank you. My business is growing very fast and I will listen to you and put a brake on it. TheHillsDriving.com

this video is so helpful my anxiety symptoms are better from your help

Am having hope today while having anxiety and hyperstimulation for the past week. Am calm only by listening

i needed to see this, thank you so much! shortness of breath sporadically and slurred speech being the worst for me

This is so me. After tapering off several prescribed meds, almost two years ago, and experiencing terrible withdrawals, my body has never completely healed. I'm still hypersensitive and have health anxiety. Thanks for all your help! I've only been listening for a week and am starting to improve. I've ordered one of your books and may eventually do one of your programs. What a blessing you are.

Thanks for all the content Dennis. You have helped me process, rationalize and move through what I’m going through. I searched long and hard to find a community or voice that felt I could associate my journey with before stumbling upon your channel. Please keep it up and let me know how best to support you.

This vid is so me. I dont feel as though I deserve to be okay. Seems as though without thinking it, that any good for me is going to involve suffering as well. I didnt realize til last year that i was abused as a child. It was all mental but nonetheless. Today I suffer from medical anxiety and ocd. Have done so for years but never knew the label for it. My counselor is trying to help me get to the root of it all from my early childhood. Praying for peace one day. My palpitations recurr from time to time but have been having them a bit more as of late. I wake in the morning waiting on them. Just to break this vicious cycle. Luckily I go to my primary care in a couple weeks. Hopefully she can help me with the palpitations so i can relax and focus on my mental healing. Thanks for all you do brother 👊🏻

For me I did not realise my ego mind was kicking in when I got to a point of feeling stuck when doing exposure work. I'd be fine and doing really well, huge progress then nothing so would feel like maybe I dont deserve to get better and I should just accept this is how my life is going to be, and i would punish myself with all this negativity because as you say it's like you don't deserve it unless you suffer. Now looking at this journey so far, I have punished myself alot and it didnt make any difference to the time spent stuck, i didnt magically become unstuck i just felt terrible about the situation and beat myself up day and night until i just stopped. That's when i became unstuck again and continued my progress. 😃👍🏻 thank you Dennis for sharing and making so much sense ❤

Dennis, you can't imagine which importance your words have for my healing process. I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you my friend 🤗

Hey Dennis, your videos helped me a lot, I realised I wasn't making a big progress with EMDR so I am starting CBT next week. Thanks for the support.

What a remarkable insight! So many of your identifying symptoms are spot-on. If understanding precedes healing I am on my way. Many many many thanks

I started chewing my tongue this year. No idea why or initially that I am actually doing so. I don’t feel well but the gp’s in Great Britain just shove me out the door as they tell me I am fine. I’m not convinced by their neglect of MY statement. 😢

Thank you so much. You 😢helped me tremendously

This is so true i just had a dream and this is just what is happening to me now i understand what is really going on in me . I experience so many things in life than when i go to sleep time and time after i dream about it and would take it for reality

It’s been so impossible to explain to friends/family and my doctor what I’ve been experiencing. I can share this video with them because it perfectly describes what I feel daily. I have nothing to blame my anxiety on, but it is still there. Hopefully now they can make better sense of what I’ve been saying for so long. Thank you for the video!

I'm must remember to keep up the good practices even when I feel better. Instead of letting it slide because I feel ok. Thank you Dennis❤️

Love this‼️

I’ve always had anxiety, even when I didn’t know what it was. I’ve gone up and down with my anxiety for years. At times, it is unbearable. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed health anxiety. I was recently diagnosed with mild glaucoma and even though I didn’t think it would create anxiety, I have been hyper sensitive since. I feel like this video is really going to help me. I stumbled upon your site last week and I can’t believe how much it has relaxed and comforted me at times. I’m going to keep watching. I have a lot to learn.

You are awesome ❤

Hi Dennis I would say listening to your podcasts over the past couple of years my anxiety was truly on the mend but lately things have started to goings wrong in normal life and hay ho I feel my anxiety creeping back 😢. So I've started listening to your podcasts again and I'm not sure what happens but listening to your voice really calms me. Hopefully I'll be back to feeling calm again very soon. Thank you so much ❤

Yes, Dennis, we KNOW what you're talking about. You 100% described the horror of anxiety. Thank you for helping us ❤ Your dog is so beautiful. He's reconnecting with the nature as we watching you 😊

Dennis i just wanna say how i personally appreciate you and like you also i see as a funny person tree hugger that got me Sending love from Ottawa 😊

I feel electrical currents through my body at certain times-I tried to explain it to a cardiologist and they just ignored me. I also am wondering about the EMF issue-but, I definitely am the person who has gotten into the habit of over intellectualizing any issue my body may feel or happen-figuring that I need to figure it out. Because I KNOW the doctors won't be able to. LOL but that's true too. It's exhausting. I am doing much better now that I am aware of what habits are perpetuating my anxiety-I also have given up negative thinking and self talk or talking about something that bothers me in my head all the time. Thank you for everything Dennis- I listen to your recordings a lot. Most of this began after I had a series of unfortunate events-whiplash/assault/and health issues all in a row.

fantastic advice

Nice to see you!! Always learning and growing with you Dennis! My Hero! 🦸‍♂️

Thanks!

May God bless and strengthen you… you are healing…..many of us

Thank you! I identified with all those symptoms and I’ve actually felt like I was overstimulated. Very validating video. Thank you!

You are helping me understand what anxiety is and what to do. So complex. So much to figure out! So much to work on. So many layers to peel back. I don't think I'll ever peel all the onion. That is a feeling that it's too much and why bother I'll never get to the core. The journey doesn't end. It feels like a struggle that won't ever end. There is always something that won't be right. Yea it's me....

I am so grateful for stumbling upon your channel, you have brought me so much peace of mind and have taught me new tricks to calm my mind and accept the symptoms for what they are. I can't thank you enough for your channel and your calm demeanor. Here is my anxiety story! I've always had general anxiety all my life, you know like being shy and nervous to talk to new people, talk in front of a group of people, sudden life changes, etc...nothing like debilitating though. I've never been concerned about my health as I'm a generally healthy person and I rarely ever go to the doctor, unless I'm like, dying. After I got sick with covid 2 years ago right at Christmas, my anxiety absolutely skyrocketed for no reason. No I wasn't scared of the virus, it wasn't any different for me than a bad cold/sore throat. I honestly 100% think covid affects your brain chemistry. One day after being sick for a week and a half but starting to recover, I just woke up with this impending doom, something is wrong feeling, for NO REASON. It scared me to death and I couldn't get away from it or control it. I had multiple panic attacks thinking I was dying or something. NEVER EVER had those thoughts or feelings before. I dealt with this feeling for months on and off, during that summer it gave me heart palpitations and PVC's for 3 days straight out of nowhere. You want to talk about fear...I thought I had a heart condition because even though I have had them before periodically, I've never had them happen consecutively ever like that. I got checked out by the cardiologist, they put a 24 hr heart monitor on me and captured many heart palpitations and told me they look perfectly normal and not to worry. EKG came back perfect, bloodwork came back perfect, blood pressure is perfect...no reason for me to be having these symptoms other than anxiety, and being overweight. So whenever I would have even just one PVC, I would immediately go into panic attack. They slowed down a lot over the last year but I still periodically get a couple, sometimes its just one, sometimes its a few in a row. They still scare me because they're so uncomfortable feeling. My symptoms have recently been changing the last couple months. I now get more muscle twitches all over my body, including my face, mouth and tongue when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I also sometimes get tingling down my arms to my fingers. I get that whole body buzzing feeling too. But none of these symptoms are constant, its just sometimes. I even had 3 days of thinking my tongue was swollen and it felt alien to my mouth, it was the weirdest thing, its fine now. So I started thinking brain cancer, MS or ALS of course because its always the worst case scenario. Now, I have had mild scoliosis all my life, so muscle twitching is not uncommon for me at all. But I hyper focus on every little symptom now, thinking its a new thing. I'm now a hypochondriac. I finally started taking 50mg of Zoloft and it has helped me so much only taking it for 3 weeks now. I've always hated taking pills for anything unless I have to, so I never tried anything like that ever before. I feel so much calmer and if I do get a symptom, my anxiety doesn't jump to a 10, its more of a 5 or 6 if that. I'm working on telling myself that its just anxiety, I am perfectly healthy and its just my mind playing tricks on me and I have the choice to just let go of the fear and experience the symptom and try to ignore it. I'm slowly getting better and dealing with it in a better way. If anyone else has experienced symptoms like these, comment below and tell me your story!

Thank you Dennis, this was a very helpful video that relates to me. I had a traumatic experience a couple of years ago. Things that would happen before this trauma like feeling my heart beat are more noticeable now because of this hyper stimulated state that I’m in.

Thank you 🙏🏽

I love your videos. Thank you for providing practical solutions

Thank you I am glad I watched this video i’ve been free from anxiety for seven days up till today. For some reason I started to feel overwhelmed any advice from me greatly appreciated 😊

After having two girls wheras one has severe epilepsy (brain surgery, VNS-surgery) special diet, autism and other special needs, getting divorced from their narc-dad who is and was not very interested in Them. Mom 24/7 - 8 years in, Im here for a good reason I think. Almost cried happy tears hearing you talk about muscle-twitching, it has been freaking me OUT! Its been in my legs, especially when sitting to relax and trying to sleep, making me do stuff ALL the Time because of severe anx!was almost Going crazy at 2 pm. Last night. Tried some deep breaths (as you talked about in an other video) and helped me not reach the oxabenz! I have also had some vibrating sensation in my body om and off for the last 6 months. Now I know What its all about. Thank you!

Dennis, I got to a place where I have broken a lot of negative patterns and I feel the progress each day. Thanks for your guidance. The part where you talk about doership speaks to me because now I know how the ego mind works. Any suggestions for someone who is in his 20s and has suffered from anxiety for a long time in the past?

I’ve had this hyper stimulation problem for many years and the culprit is excessive exercise, stressful events and sometimes caffeine ! It’s a merry go round that sometimes ends up with me up in middle of night and next day ruined because of sleep deprivation!

Hello. You are absolutely correct and on it. Thank you for bringing it to the visual arena of this. May I ask. Are you still experiencing symptoms now and then or has it gone away?
