Google destroyed my life Google is the main reason of my anxiety

Me :Googles symptoms Google: your funeral will be held tomorrow at 9 pm

Anxiety is knowing there is nothing wrong with you, but your mind and body are doing everything in their power to make you think there is...

I just want to say I love each and every person in the comments and I too go thru anxiety battles every day and it is overwhelming so I truly hope you all overcome this cause it will alter your life!

Feeling fragile is exactly the feeling actually. It's like you don't trust your body. You feel you are sick and can't do the normal stuff people do. Why? Hell knows why. Have been asking myself the question for a while now. It feels like you can just snap out of it and sometimes you do snap out of it for a while but then habits and fearful thinking and worrying drag you back. What seems to be helping me is to continue telling myself that my body is an evolutionary beast of a device. It knows what it's doing way better than I do. My anxiety to my body is like a nagging child disctracting a grown-up from work. Just start trusting your bodies, guys. You are healthy, let your body do the work it's supposed to be doing and let it go.

I can 100% relate to this. I google every single symptom hoping for an answer. Most of the time (if not, all) it makes things worse for me. I’m either having a heart attack or stroke or have cancer according to google. It’s terrifying.

Omg this is so me! I literally felt that i am dying every single day!

I Google symptoms just to see wether it's anxiety or not.

I appreciate you, sir. Been a health anxiety sufferer for 10 years now and I never really understood it until i found this channel...

This was so good. Dr. google has had me believe I have cancer, ALS, MS, strokes, Parkinson's, etc. I feel paralyzed.

im stuck in a cycle where when i think about being anxious i then become anxious

I was literally in the middle of freaking out over my health and this genuinely helped me calm down! Thank you!!!

This is so true. I was fine throughout the day then when I googled my sensations it triggered my anxiety and made it worse. Not everything on google is true related to your symptoms I feel better about myself when other ppl share their same stories.

Oh my.....this is me. My wife tells me to stop googling my symptoms because I have everything I see. I cant stop and I feel like I'm on a mission to find the underlying cause to everything. I've learned more about the body and disease then any non MD person should know. I'm going to start this today. Thank you Dennis!

Health anxiety is so much harder to deal with when you do actually have a physical problem. I'm 21 and I have SVT, which is a (non-life threatening) heart arrhythmia, and I'm hopefully getting curative surgery soon after 7 years of suffering. Of course my pre-existing anxiety and panic disorder latched onto this condition and it's deteriorated to the point where I'm anxious about my heart all day to the point where I have a hard time differentiating a real SVT attack from a panic attack! The SVT can be cured, but Dennis has made me realise that the anxiety can be cured too, and I'm making a promise to myself to do that before letting it ruin my life for another 12 years.

Thank you so much for your videos Dennis! I used to be an anxiety ridden insomniac. After watching your videos, I became a person who has learned to use techniques to help me sleep through the night. I never thought it was possible. I finally feel like I’m able to actually live my life and not just “exist”. I will continue to use all your helpful techniques everyday👍

I thought I had cancer I asked to call 911 and then I got depression so thank you!for helping me!!

thanks dennis..i am sick of dr google!!!

I am so glad I found your channel. Health anxiety has made me in worst state I've ever been in - headaches, nausea, etc... all those symptoms I experience regularly. I've been to the doctor, going again today, and after this I just want to focus on trusting myself and my body. Googling symptoms is so addictive yet so toxic, so I refuse to do it anymore. Thank you for all of your help! You are without doubt helping so many of us out there.

I officially hate Google now. I rarely go there.

yep been to the E.R so much that now if I go for a real issue they look at my chart and see I have anxiety and health anxiety that they don't take me serious at all. I love your videos they keep me strong and remind me that I am stronger than this!

everytime i google despite of getting relax i end up having panic attack .Google doesn't help u it just increases ur anxiety

I’ve been dealing with my first ever serious health issues lately and the anxiety and stress has been overwhelming. I have taken my symptoms for an issue I know I have and convincing myself that they could be indicative of something far more serious. Thank you for helping me understand where these feelings are coming from and how they got there in the first place. This was very helpful. 😊

This is the one, Dennis! This is me. I’ve had my heart tested and it’s just fine, but I’m still getting the accelerated heart rate; the knowledge is not at a gut level yet! This makes so much sense!

I've almost stopped doing that. I'm tempted out of habit but I have to stop myself in order to not fuel the anxiety or I will believe it's true.

Oh my goodness this is me ! I've suffered with anxiety for 7 years and I do this all the time ! X

Each and every word you have said about Googleing symptoms is all true Iam a worrier and always trying to get any kind of solutions about anxiety . I found this video extremely helpful.regards from India.

Watching your videos first thing in the morning helps me get in the right mind-set. Learning to pay attention to the evidence that is there to support the sensations and realizing that's all it is!! Sensations. Thank you again, Dennis!

The biggest and most important thing about finding you is finding everyone else. I'm not alone, and I just wish we were all together physically, but this is pretty good too. Thank you Dennis, and all you guys x

Thank you for this Type of Videos! I really have been struggling with anxiety and I don't have any ideas to be normal again like myself when I was younger..I start to slowly give up and keep beating myself mentally and physically, but your videos help me to be more relax and happy! I would like to thank you for saving my life! Because I started to cut myself..But thanks you I'm still alive! Thank you for helping me more happy! ILY TYSM❤️❤️

I feel like this is one of the most important videos you ever made. You have just helped hundreds of people oh and everything you said is true. It's just anxiety, people!!!

I keep on googling anxiety I literally can't stop I google different questions for anxiety and how to make sure u actually have anxiety I feel like I'm going crazy because I actually donno what's wrong with me I feel so uneasy the whole time and like I'm losing my mind I donno what to do. I also have the same thoughts over and over like wishing horrible things upon my self which I don't want and I'm scared my thoughts are going to come true. I google to reassure myself that something is wrong with me it's been like this since over a year idk?

thank you for the info man .. ive been dealing with anxiety for a while now and its been affecting my work scheduel

I've stopped googling even though my symptoms shift once I've gotten over the sensation another one occurs seemingly more intense in another area of my body and it gets frightening to say the lest.

I was struggling for almost a month searching for symptoms and i started to feel more anxious everyday.

I always Google its a nightmare, i Google all my symptoms to make sure it anxiety and not something serious, i read about anxiety and most sites say anxiety comes on as a panic attack and then subsides and it got me thinking that there must be something more serious wrong with me cos i have symptoms everyday and not just panic attacks, shaky, jelly legs, leg muscles twitching, all body tensing up for no reason, sickly feelings, brain fuzzyness, dizzyness, palpations and feeling on edge. Its a constant feeling, google is a really bad place for symptoms it gives you really bad outcomes and makes you believe you have them and not just your anxiety and so the vicious circle begins

Oh yeah, I've fallen into the trap of googling symptoms. Biggest mistake I ever made. Don't do it, it only makes things worse. If your GP says you're healthy, trust them. Easier said than done, I know, but you have to. Thanks for your great work, Dennis!

I have been waiting for a video on this subject. I am the WORST when it comes to googling symptoms. I consume myself in it. Thank you for giving us the skills to stop this awful habit! I appreciate everything you do Dennis! ❤️

Ever since googling symptoms i suffered for three weeks hyperaware of my body

I know this isn't funny, but when you talked about the ambulance and the subconscious mind going "what's that???" all panicky I chuckled lol. Our subconscious minds are so paranoid lol!! Great video!

Thanks for all the positive videos! Trying very hard to get past this anexity! Listening every day to you! These sensations are driving me crazy! I keep saying to my self there only feelings like you say! I know I will get better but everyday is a struggle! Thank you . Your the Best ‘ Jen G

I always feel like I am dying any time it's very awful feelings

Great video. Gives some peace of mind. Frequent urination is the current killer with me. 10 times last night, hardly slept. Very very depressing to deal with.

Omg I feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one with this issue. Thank you for this video !

your videos saved my life.. honestly

Best video yet. I googled every second of every day. Nearly lost my family cause I was so stuck in this cycle. Thanks Dennis

I can relate to this really think there's really wrong with me. Googling symptoms. Now slowly recovering for good.

I am having some issues, I had all test done in fact twice Now I came to know that it is my mind who creating problems..... Now what I am doing I am taking things lightly. I have stopped all my anxiety medicine, started doing yoga, and ayurvedic treatment. I know its a battle and not going to easy but One thing I have in my mind is `Life is what you think` so think positive. One day everyone has to go you can not stop there will be no mercy even this is not is your control, Overthinking will not extend you life then why worry If you have problems -- yes do you have solution yes then why worry If you have problems - Yes do you have a solution no then why worry this type of anxiety occurs in very intellectual people. I must say we all very very strong in terms of learning, in terms of finding, in terms of a problem facing... After you will recover from this you will become a magnifying person, who will know all the aspect of life...

Dennis is a life saver. Was in a dark place until i found this channel. People that dont deal w anxiety dont understand.

Great video Dennis. One of my favs now. This information is super important. Especially when you talk about thinking of yourself as weak. When you have anxiety you feel like your body and mind is betraying you. If you trust and love yourself thats all you need. Gathering evidence is also really important because that helps you trust yourself instead of asking other people like you dont know anything and they do. I went through that. I dont google anymore but i still ask people if im ok if im sick etc. Lol i catch myself and think How would they know? They dont know more than i do! I was able to stop googling because i know it will just create anxiety. I dont have time for that anymore! Thank you:)

So many times I did this I even looked up the flu on google when I had it and then I saw all these rare cases of people dying from the flu and it would put me into a frenzy and began to worry about germs constantly. It was such a bad fear that began with google.

I had chest pain after graduating highschool, so I looked up symptoms on Google and went to WebMD, and looking at the worse possibilities made me have a panic attack. Went and had an EKG, or whatever it is, done and was completely fine.

In the last 3 weeks I have self diagnosed myself with HIV, bowel cancer, Diabetes and after checking in with my GP and hearing that everything is okay now I have managed to tell myself I have liver or heart issues. Purely because I can't process caffeine as well as I used to and had a panic attack while i was exercising .... -.- now everytime I exercise I expect a panic attack which makes me actually have a mild panic attack everytime my heart rate increases. It sucks because exercise is my only outlet . This is honestly exhausting :(

This man truly is the best on the internet,it doesn’t matter what his credentials are,he is more well rounded on the topic of anxiety than anyone else,he is so passionate about it that it makes him really understand the info making it easier to convey,and it’s freeee,I love this man

Oh . . Thank you once again! I constantly visit Dr Google. First it was to try to alleviate fears but it only made them worse. Planting seeds . . yes.

I absolutely love this channel. I started listening to his audiobook and it all just makes so much sense! Thank you for helping me begin my journey

Whoa this was a really powerful and significant video. This was particularly relevant to my situation.

I listen to you when I want some sanity

I agree with everything your saying. I need to get your program. I have been suffering anxiety for 10 years. I really need your program. ❤️ thank you for your teaching .

thank you so much for this video. I realised today that I've googled myself into a state of anxiety. I've never done this before. I've always taken random body-hurts well and just waited them out to see if they go away. And once in a blue moon I'd google if I was genuinely curious and I'd be fine. But recently I started having a series of kinda weird things happen, so I started googling something and almost convinced myself I had appendicitis. And ever since that, I've googled every little thing I think I've felt, and then re-googled the same things to convince myself it isn't something bad. And I just really need to stop. I'm stressed out of my mind. So thank you. I really needed this.

I googled headache, Google said I have a brain tumor I rushed to the hospital immediately to inform my doctor I have a brain tumor he looked at me and smile how do you know I told him because I have been having headache for days he said take panadol, since then I have going to hospital but my doctor don't take serious.

Brilliant video, I’m really struggling with my health anxiety These last few weeks and haven’t stopped googling symptoms which in turn will tell me I have 3 different types of cancer and then I’m constantly checking myself and physical symptoms actually appear and find it really hard to know what is real and what is not, it’s like I have 2 people on my shoulders ones is saying to get a grip it’s all in your head and the other side is saying well what if it’s not anxiety this time and it’s actually happening, really feel like I’m stuck in a rut this time possibly one of my worst anxiety attacks so far, hoping I can over come this soon and get my life back on track, your videos are helping me get through this though so thank you

Thank you thank you for this video! I have been struggling so much with this and your video really helped me feel a little better today. The way you discuss the symptoms in your video makes me feel like you have been where I am and that means the world. Thank you again. I'm going to watch all of your videos. You're amazing!

It's not good to seek reassurance from your doctor just like Google. It's all seeking "Reassurance" so I hear a lot of its anxiety but " what if" it's not.

I have hemiplegic migraine episodes but every time I googled it it said I had a stroke ( only old people get strokes as far as I know) . But then I went to the doctors and it turned out it was just that

Thank you, whenever I feel scared I just watch one of your videos and I feel better

Something that helps me i google my syptom and add anxiety to it like dizziness and anxiety.since i still feel the need to google this makes it a bit better

I never knew where my hundreds of different symptoms came from they were different almost all the time out of nowhere, but this explains alot about subconciousnes etc thank you such a relief and mind opener

I have had everything checked all but if I may have vestibular migraine.. as I'm dizzy, bouncing on a boat vertigo come and goes.. and I really believe I have that atm.. but deep down I know... I do know... it's anxiety :(

Two years late to this video but I needed it so badly! I wrote down my recent Google search history in a journal and it's just awful. I love the attorney analogy and I'm going to try it out.

Can you please upload a video about us that think ourselves into sensations & symptoms. and what we can do to not do that anymore?

Life savour for many people :)

Thank you, already playing your video I started calming down.

I have : -throat tightness -problem swallowing -ear ache -headache and dizzy feeling -hoarseness ( a little bit) -stiff neck Btw:all symptoms are not severe and I don't drink or smoke cigarettes My doctor suggested that the ear ache is caused fluid that is stuck behind my eardrums. which therefore cause my headache and my stiff neck is basically stress and anxiety she gave me some pills (antibiotics) and some injections I have taken them all yet nothing seems to work, so I decided to go to get an ultrasound diagnosis which turned out to be normal everything was the right size shape and form nothing was detected its very confusing I don't either to let it go and wait for everything to disappeare on its own or seek more diagnosiswhich is probably ganna drive me insane since I probably have hypochondriasis (a condition in which a person is excessively and unduly worried about having a serious illness) because the while googling my symptoms the only thing that made sense was having something bad (i don't even wanna write the illness it terrifies me) Anyway what is your thoughts on my condition ?

This is great! You really tackle the anxiety issues well by describing exactly what a lot of us are going through and giving strategies to combat it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the comfort your video gives its really comforting..you are true, ive been on those habbits..ive watched more of your videos and it taugh me how to get put of my anxiety..God bless you more..

Google always gives the worst scenario anyone else find this true

Thank you so so very much for your content! I watch this in the very most fragile way I've ever been. I've been in the er thousands of times, even stayed in hospital for 3 days, getting constant heart monitoring with no conspicuity. But STILL I do not trust the doctors what so ever. I'm in therapy as well, but feel so very alone. I feel as though everyone is misunderstanding my condition and because I'm only 21 yo, simply overlook the condition that I clearly have because of the way I feel. Right now I'm in vacation with my family. I'm ruining the whole trip and I feel so very bad about it. I have anxiety and panic attacks every day and my family doesn't know how to deal with it. There is no hospital near. I doubt, theres a functioning ambulance system where we are staying. I'm absolutely going mad. I have no idea how to manage staying alive for the next 7 days. I constantly feel my heart beat and I feel like its beating too fast, too slow, too weak, too strong all at different occasions but nonetheless at the same time. I'm literally losing it. Watching your videos at the moment gives me the only comfort. Thank you very much for that.

Thanks Dennis! So, I go through cycles of not googling symptoms then going back to chronically googling them. Right now I'm in a moderate googling phase. It's tough. I feel that I "need" to know. I need to figure this out. I know it doesn't help me and even if it gives me any reassurance the feeling doesn't last long. It's a vicious cycle. I think I'm going to delete the Google search bar off of my phone. Good idea or not a good idea?

Actually ive talked with my doctor about googling illnesses and he said im a dumbass and all those web doctors all they are trying to do is make a fool of us. Since then im totally fine

Thanks for helping me know this is not just me and that I can actively start to heal

So true!! I have back and hip issues, and was taking pain meds for a long while. They affected my stomach and I ended up with a bad case of gastritis. I swore it was my heart, stomach or other cancer. I didn’t want to believe the test results I got from the doc or ER. Always thinking they missed something. My docs told me flat out - stay off google! The only thing I allow myself to look up is pictures and info on music etc. I do have trouble sleeping sometimes but it’s from hip and back pain- nothing more!

Thank you so much for this. It makes sense and I am going to try it this week!

OK. I AM GUILTY OFF THAT MYSELF WITH MY ANXIETY

Thank you sooooo much for this video! I have been googling my symptoms since as long as I can remember. I have stopped but recently I’ve been doing it again. And I always tell myself if I really have what I think I have would I still be able to do what I’m doing now? I never thought about writing my symptom down until now that I have watched your video

OMG . This is so me, Thanks for this vedio. Because of these google, I am suffering health anxiety now😭😭

This helped me so much. Thank you

Lately I've been googling and watching videos of things I know I shouldn't like story's of others who suffer from anxiety and depression they trigger my anxiety and depression. But the other day I watched a video of a kid who committed suicide because he unfortunately couldn't get the help he needed in time and I think what if that could be me. It has ruined my last couple days I've been feeling hopeless. I really sat and thought today about why I'm feeling hopeless and depressed and I think that video is what triggered it. I've had anxiety for 8 years now with depression at time's but recently had a big break down.

I know this off subject but I'm proud of myself I drove 50 miles and back on freeway ... I'm 33 I came down with panic disorder 3 yrs ago .. Before this I was driving from age 17 till now .. But again panic disorder slowed me up .. Now yes I have been driving the last 3yrs even with anxiety .. .. But after today I feel even more confident and relaxed ... The trick is all in your head ... Get control of your mind 1st .. Now today I did feel it coming here and there on freeway but I didn't give up .. Or let it fully carry out ( I have driving anxiety ) I don't know how I got this .. I think it was my eating habits .. Anyways with vitimins and fruit lots of water .. I'm feeling my old self coming back .. Deep down I don't think I will ever forget panic disorder and how it took me down ..

Absolutely Love the amateur attorney technique!

Thank you for saving me 🙂

Dennis you da man!! Your advise always comes through. I been understanding anxiety more and more and more. Thank you. We are more than anxiety! 👍

@Dennis sir...You are an inspiration! You are a ray of hope...Thank you ❤️

Everytime i hear an ambulance pass by my house i can feel my heart rate increase immediately. that is so freakin insane you said that. i started laughing because as dumb as it sounds, it happens to me everyday! i have been picked up in the ambulance several times in the past year, all anxiety related.

This video is so good.. it addresses the concerns and gives a solution.. making the concern so light or negligible... Best part being the buzzzzz fly part.. 👌👌👍👍👍

Because of trauma 6 months ago, I had my first panic attacts...its now six months later and I thought I was dying I couldn't breathe, chills, couldn't eat, weight loss etc..all the above but I was wondering if anybody ever had night sweats from anxieties. I went to the doctors, i've had two blood work done and they said everything is great, but the night sweats...why am I wet at nigh...can that come on from anxieties??? I know that my doctor is correct who identified the anxieties because just talking to him for two hours all my breathing came back to normal I stopped having the shakes and I actually ate food ever since then but the night sweats he said are from anxieties too and I want so desperately not to Google it but I just want to make sure is anybody else had night sweats with tremors because of anxieties thank you

You are spot on about what you said. If I have a set of events go wrong for a few days back to back and they happen around 3 o’ clock... i start getting anxiety around that same time or if I go to a certain place that I had anxiety at before I’ll start to get some. It creates a vicious cycle that feeds off of itself and it keeps happening until I break the cycle. It’s very hard to stop at first. But, I feel like my body starts to naturally realize that it is not real, because I’ve been through it so many times and nothing has ever happened. Googling the symptoms doesn’t help at all of course. It just makes it worse. I had an ekg done on me I’ve had things looked at and I’m turning 20 next month

Yes I am guilty of googling ALL the time but I also do have two chronic health conditions that are related to nervous system disfunction. These conditions are what triggered the start of my health anxiety. Can anyone else relate.?

Dennis, you'r really good in what you do! Thank you so much for all of the help! As someone who is fairly new into this, can you make a video and explain how did your (or other people) anxiety started? I noticed some anxious moments before, but all of the physical symptoms started suddenly (before actual attacks that started after psychical sensations) and I think the biggest issue for all of us is it egg or a chicken who came first. When we're clear with that, I think it will be much easier for lot of us to accept that we're not physically ill. Thank you for all of the hard work!
