I've had G.A.D for a year now and for the first nine months I thought I was just loosing my mind because nobody could tell me what was wrong. I spent that time trying my hardest to get better but as we all know when you get extremely anxious all you want to do is give up and die! But since therapy, CBT, I sometimes feel normal and I don't suffer daily like I used to, there is still a long way to go but I'm getting there. I use Twitter, I post inspiration to help people like me now @iTweetVision
Anyone else got that feeling of not being real. for example i feel like i wake up in the morning feeling like im still not 100% awake and everythink all around me doesnt feel real. thumbs up if anyone else has this :)
@mmiicahh yep me too it has controlled my life for 10 years now from the age of 16 to 26 nowi took 6 drugs with no help- now i am on lamictal 400 mg its like a war and worse id take even 800 mg if possible to stop 10 years of hell
i know its from my dad they are both obssesive and crazy anxious so i got screwe
are you parents insane too?-100%percent its the only reason
@OshTaubsy I have it the other way around too. All day everything feels somewhat unreal and uncomfortable, but when I wake up in the morning sometimes the world looks new, full of promises, and very real. That moment collapses after a few seconds. Or maybe we experience the same thing, but I call it real and you unreal.
what i have is.a small prob.becoming bigger.concerning about the future.sometimes when people look at me i starting thinking that they've got something on me..the worst is.sometimes i feel mad,it's like i'm gonna burst,but i don't know why,feel like i want to shout..my heart is betting so fast,bumping..i hate it when i feel all of it..i feel like a metal disorder...
am i the only one that sometimes hears voices? not usually in my head but like ill hear people talking and ill hear something different then what they said.. u know what i mean or am I alone on that?
I don't know if anybody has what I have but my anxiety is triggered by the feelings in my body. For instance if I get like a quick headache I'll worry it's a tumor. If I feel bubbling feelings in my chest I'll think something's wrong with my heart. I focus too much on my breathing which causes me to feel short of breath. I notice every little thing medicine does to me and react badly to it. I'm just wondering if anybody else has this. I guess like this comment if you do? Or message me?
Totoallly normal. I had an experience when... I was hopisilized because my dad gave me an anxiety pill and I was so sure that my heart was beating because of the pill.. I put my dad through **** that day because they were like "why would you give her this pill blah blah blah" and tehy ran test and I was "healthy" and sent home... it was just a panic attack.. lol! I was only 10 I didn't know what anxiety was or how it felt !!
@cityMonk904 I feel this way when I take a new kind of medicine. I always feel like I am going to have a reaction. I was giving cytotec to contract after having my second baby (you suck on it for 30mins till it dissolves) and it made my throat sore.. but I kept picturing my throat closing up.. kept thinking I was going to not be able to breathe! When I told the nurse, she said... drink some water. Wasn't scared or worried about what I described. Then I really freaked out! So yes. Similar.
Im wondering if there is anyone who has anxiety disorder and you have a wife/husband and kids. I've heard ppl with anxiety can't have sex cause u guys passout.
@xuphoriaa dont call me an idiot you little shit. maybe you and your parents have poor money management. my family and I are doing fine in this 'recession' and I'm from Canada. its not expensive for a gym membership, and if it is, you better get your shit together and get a job. gym memberships aren't expensive, idiot.
@littlesquidward42 Hey Guys, Ive suffered GAD (general anxiety disorder) for over 12months. I took a gamble and tried Hypnotherapy (through a specialist), Mainly because I was at the end of my rope feeling like i did. Hypnosis CHANGED MY LIFE!!
I say give it a go, I wish I hadn't hesitated for sooooo long:)
I have Anxiety Disorder. Most times I feel a strong uneasiness or nervous feeling and a lot of the time I don't exactly know what I'm worried about. I end up having a overload. It builds up slowly everyday and I go through a cycle. I get frustrated if I get pushed beyond how much I can handle. But I'm learning ways to cope with it.
i though this is normal but i felt enormous amount of akwardness, depression, fear, low self esteem, and 0 hopes for future. i felt like this everyday and every minute is like hell. what i did is i meditated and worked at my emotions. all your emotions are illusions and thats it. once you realize that all of these feelings are bs which is why you have to limit your negative thinking. when you start taking feelings to serious they will make you somwhat you're not.ignore them and live your way
it based on if it lasted for 3month. how ridiculas. you will be treated different. an object. what you say will be pychosis even though it normal emotion. don't exploit your self by calling any service (we can help), mental heath, gp! They will not help in the way you think.sorry. why is gov funding this crap based on soely on a CHECKLIST in australia . is this for real? there latest is slogan is FEAR! And yes WE CAN HELP. What a joke. You will probably get burned by a psychologist too.
Medication like ABILIFY will not cure generalized anxiety disorder no matter what your doctor tells you. In fact, in most cases, it will make it much worse.
Please visit ABILIFY KILLS on YouTube - - and you'll hear about how anxious this medication made me!

I hate it. I have it during school to. I feel like life isn't real and that its just a dream. And when my friends put peer pressure on me to do weed one time it definitely was major anxiety :(. Skin went numb really light headed and it just comes back once in a while :(
Interesting video. I have made a site dedicated for anxiety in young people, and I want to spread it and hopefully help some out. Follow this link if interested in a good read:
My old GP/Doctor in London never listened to me, didn't answer my questions, and always threw me out, me unsatisfied, so he could quickly see his next patient. I had to educate HIM on Narcolepsy. & he wouldn't believe that I had certain mental conditions. His response was, 'I'm not seeing anything like that.'
Really, you fuck? I think I was too well-spoken and presentable, too cool and articulate, that I actually looked like I didn't have a problem. But he was a fuckin Doctor, man. Dr Anderson
generalized anxiety disorder depression acute anxiety my physical symptoms arising out of the anxiety have been diagnosed as asthma,migraines,pluracy,costocondritis weakness fatigue high blood pressure but i personally have problems even talking to my dr or anyone else about how i feel or i just cant think of the words to say idk its hard to say but i see things and hear things also so i believe i have scitzophrenia as well along with insomnia i just dont know i feel so helpless :(
i have had many diagnoses for my anxiety im scared al the time and just dont know what it is and cant find a good understanding dr and have been out of work for 3+years i been trying to get on ssi but cannot find a support dr my main dr moved to another town and the other dr passed away and i c a new dr that im having to tell what is wrong and he has no prior knowledge of my ilnesses so he refuses to be supportive of my disability but prescribes me anti depressents aand benzos my diagnoses are
Anxiety attacks are just the mind afraid of losing control. The truth is that we are not in control. Just knowing this helps anxiety go away. A free book called "The Present" helped me a lot with my anxiety attacks, and understanding my mind. To find it, go to Truthcontest(dot)com and look under the entries. It is the first one.
My anxiety used to give me such knots in my stomach that I would become sick. I would lose my appetite and become tired. My relationships also suffered. After trying Soulera™ anti-stress formula, my anxiety was much more manageable and I could actually ENJOY MY LIFE! Check it out:
it can be a ruining and very unpleasnant experience when you have a worry about your health for example it can send you crazy or feel like your going crazy
I think i have major anxiety. I worry about everything health wise, if i have chest pain i think i have heart disease or if i feel weak i have diabetes....... That im going to go blind becaue my eyesight isnt perfect.... deathly afraid of thunder and lightning, everytime i got out to walmart of a store i feel sick and shaky. Worst part is im only 13 years old :(
it feels like there's never a definitive end to my panic attacks.... like i'm constantly on my way to a panic attack, walking around exhausted and in a fog....
fuck all of you pieces of shit i hate you all .you all think your so cool and funny but you people suck everyone in this world sucks you evil satan worshipping fucks.
I use to think I just had extreme shyness but I've got other strong fears as well as such as driving on a busy freeway, exam writing, medical procedures...at least I understand where I'm coming from after finding out that I have many symptoms of GAD. Glad to see that I'm not alone.
I definately have always had this......we as species will not move foward till we stop looking at genetics as the root of abnormal behavior and not as a symptom that the tribe is unfair to one of its members. Imagine every man a job. Imagine every man (straight man) a wife , every gay lesbian a partner and job. Cities don't work when bigots exist and femma hate exists. Economies don't prosper for the better good when greed and fear are the only expressions of normalicy.
@rapist41 Yes derealization has been a part of my anxiety problems for years. it gets worse when im away from from home. like at a bar with friends or at work.
I was diagnosed with IrritableBowelSyndorme when I was 14 (has suffered from it all my life). LOng story short: after treating my IBS for many years, I was not able to function normally. Only when I agreed to start medication for GAD, not IBS, my system got better. Today I still have tummy problems but less. As a music teacher now Im able to get on stage and perform with my students without having a mental breakdown.
I dont like medication, but my life was passing me by. Not anymore.
This is a very horrible Degrading condition. I'd rather suffer broken limbs on both arms and legs then suffer with this. I know alot of peopel that do suffer and even though I have never so I really don't know how the person really feels or what they go though from what I have seen it's just aweful.
@PGMEagle Its a great strength that you can see the condition accurately from an outside perspective.Its like if someone broke his leg but people saw the problem in terms that he was unable to walk and said `I am able to walk, don't be silly just put one foot in front of the other`. You can see a broken leg but you cant see an Anxiety Disorder. You try to understand the condition, others might mock or give patronising advice of little value.
There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot-dot-com.
I really hate GAD. Its like and STD it may go away for a few hours or days but after a while its right back at full strength. For those wondering if it'll every go away the answer is no. It never goes away just like it never came to be. We were born with anxiety and until your first panic/anxiety attack you really didn't pay it much attention. Now that you have taken notice to it and have become scared of it, it has become GAD. Anxiety feeds off fear and it my be hard to do but try to ignore it.
I dont know what is wrong with me sometimes when it comes to speaking in front of anyone or walking into a room I get soo nervous I cant talk right and I get really red. If something happens or If I think something will happen I get really nervous and cant stop thinking about it. Worst of all sometimes I get nasty stomach cramps and get nervous for no reason at all like 5 min before the bell for the end of class rings I always get really nervous.
I have GAD, and have had it since I was 6 and I am 17 now. It made me stronger as a person and just like everyone else you have hard weeks but it's just amplified for me.... I don't think I would be the person I am today if I didn't have it, and believe me there are a lot of days I wish I didn't. If you are struggling with GAD just remember you will get better and it will make you so much stronger! Just DON'T let it take over your life!
I have to say it use to be a lot worse. Although there are day when I feel like I can't move I worked my way through most of the things that were triggers for my most overwhelming fears.
The worst part for me is you can't cure this, no matter what know there will be times when I can just regress into really strong anxiety and it's terryfying.
Life in fear is so hard, it's unbelivable. Especially now that I know how much easier it can be.
@xHatedKiddo Not necessarily, but it could be something related. If you think there's something abnormal with your emotions, you should see a specialist so they can tell you and make the right diagnostic you do have GAD or something else.
@xHatedKiddo I do this as well. Although it may be hormonal (if you're a woman, I guess), I was diagnosed with GAD. All of the worries I have and the tension that they cause tend to make me much more irritable and emotionally raw. I cry over stupid things often and am particularly sensitive to what people say. So, it may be hormones and PMS or it may be side effects (?) of GAD. I hope that helped some. :)
Fear didn't start with medication--so it's not going to end with medication. Medication is just going to Novocain the symptoms of Fear. Yet once the medication wears off (or once the Novocain wears off)--the effects of fear or the symptoms of fear will resurface. You'll be running back to the doctor asking for some more Novocain called medication.
Those anti-anxiety drugs, benzodiazepines, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, Tricyclics, and anxiolytics are nothing more than high-priced aspirins. Meaning, they are just temporary relief. They relieve the pain yet they don't release the Fear.
The only medication that can eliminate Fear is the medication of the mind or the mental medication of thought.
One of the best ways I found to treat all this shit & depression is Art of Living course. Just a 6 day course where they teach u some excercises & breathing techniques & u'd be amazed with the results! U can check for info abt it online, as to when & where its happening near u since its happening in 140 countries now.
If my doc wasn't such a nice guy, I'd beat his ass senseless!
If you haven't tried this shit, simply ask your doc about "Benzo Withdrawal Syndrome" (effect from long term Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan=Lorazepam), and request he/she look it up at (yes, even) Wikipedia, as that's about the only place you'll get a straight answer!!!
4.1 million prescriptions in 2006, & your own primary doc has no clue as to the "back-end" effects of the shit? "If U don't know, don't prescribe it, doc!"
I was searching about the 12 tribes of israel and the tribe called "GAD" and i arrived here. I might have GAD but i think these things can be defeated through sleep and Praying to Jesus / God to comfort us :-)
I have GAD, Asthma and Scoliosis. Many times like when I initially stand up or exert myself it seems as though I have trouble with air intake, but the restriction on air seems to feel as though it's in my lower back and/or sides rather than the lungs. It is a totally different feeling from when I have an Asthmatic attack and have airway constriction. I have had my lungs listened to and been told they are fine. Could this be a result of muscle tension associated with GAD?
I don't know if I fully have an Anxiety Disorder, but I worry about a lot of things and get anxious but I still go to work all the time and do some day to day activities. Sometimes what helps me when I start to worry about random crap is I say to myself these words.... It's all in my F ing head, don't worry, I will be alright. Sometimes that actually helps me. Sorry for the cussing, and I may not have GAD to the extreme but saying that in my head helps me sometimes.
I think I might have this... I went to a therapist, doctor and even psychologist years ago and all they told me was that I had social anxiety. So they gave me medicine that I took for a year...and it made me so much worse! Now I'm getting more problems. :( I think I'm developing depression along the way.
I suffered from GAD for years and had successfully taken Ativan (Lorazepam), daily for 7 years. WHAT THIS IDIOT DOESN'T TELL YOU, is that you could win lotto, be entirely stress free, but develope PRN (Padded Room Necessary, disease), by discontinuing these benzos, as Xanax, Klonopin, & Valium. Having gone through this horrible withdrawal ordeal (twice as bad as the stress before, I recommend you TAKE THEM FOREVER!!! Pray Big Pharma never stops making them, & NEVER get stuck without them! PhD's?
@ShaimReviewsI am blowing this trumpet , because when you have been through so much, many associated issues which manifested later in life as horrid aliments - including cronic disease (to the point of thinking life is being taken from you) When I come across a product that really empowers on many levels to managing symptoms of stress &improving life & focus, its only natural that I will advocate. Nurture YOU!
Easy exercise for quick stress and anxiety relief, helps to get off to sleep. If you find this useful and want to go to the next level of powerful breathing exercise then get my unique Breathing CD or Mp3. It uses ancient yogic breathing and scientific Alpha binaural brainwave entrainment. Google - Relaxationforme U tube yourbraintraining
I've had GAD and Depression for a really long time and I've only sen a therepist once because I can't stand the guilt of spending my mom and dad's money even though they assure me it's ok.
@PandaStoleMyBrother It is okay. There's nothing more important to parents then their children's well being. You don't deserve help less than anybody else does. I think I know what you feel.
same here.. i had GAD but it suffers more if u wont complete medications. i had FELIZ and anti depresant .. sleeping pills ofcorz.. DAMN GAD!!!! it will ruined ur life. seriously..
@CassiePinkPearl, You are so right, and I am blowing this trumpet , because when you have been through so much, many associated issues which manifested later in life as disease. We are not taught to relax, society is more, do , have - pressure:( These CD's and MP3's do work - i use daily. Free report and samples to Nurture you.
I'm having a lot of trouble right now functioning. I can't go to school, I don't want any human contact, I feel so alone and unsure of everything. Just like depression. But I don't know if it's just on my mind. I experience periods of happiness once in a while. Does that indicate I have dysthamia(?) or GAD? Instead of major depression?
@BebeYnez In a way its mostly similar, I have GAD as well and how i go through it is almost similar to yours. Cause of my GAD I have constantly stressed and stressed about almost everything. and like you i have mostly felt depressed, alone,sad,and angry and feeling like i will never make it in life. and sometimes i feel happy as well but it only last up to 2-4 days. but I do go to school despite the fact i have this and usually i do get teased cause of it.
depression/anxiety hurts - I have it myself. I made a song and I'd love it if you guys just took a few short seconds to listen to it..
Please take a few short seconds to listen to my 2 videos and leave a comment if you'd like on what I can do to improve. Good/bad? Please let me know, it helps me develop even further as a musician!
OH! and if you like what you hear, subscribe, I have more clips coming up!"
I'm pretty sure i have GAD i get worried a lot when my friends want me to go to a party or something social and i get a bad feeling when i go to public places or do certain things sometimes i just don't want to leave the house at all
Hate having this condition, I've had it since I can remember, just worry about anything and everything, always feel on edge, and tension all the time.
i have my finals exams atm. my GAD was diagnosed last year and I had CBT, it helped a littled but now i feel like my world is shattering and people at uni find it funny, because they think i'm being "emo" it's a shame and it's saddening people don't understand it unless they have it or have to live with someone who does. It pervades everything a do. I hate it. :(
@ninjapenguinofdoom I'm in the same situation - people don't think I'm emo, though. Instead, they advice me to 'try to relax'. Sweet, but not exactly helpful. Hang in there - hopefully exams will be over soon and the symptoms will lay off a wee bit! I have my fingers crossed for you...
I think I've had this for a long time, but last year my symptoms really exploded, and since then, it's become really bad. I have it also with ocd, ASD, and depression. I'm undergoing CBT, but i hope I can find a medication that helps me too, and im only 15 BTW
@CanadaUpcastXSLT You don't have GAD, although you probably have a lot of the symptoms - the way that anxiety disorders are diagnosed is they take down all your symptoms and then go for the title which best fits one of the descriptions they've drawn up (good to know, eh?). Thus, if you have already been diagnosed with OCD, they're probably going to stick with OCD and it counts out a diagnosis of GAD. Random way of doing things but whatever. Hope you feel better soon, CBT is way helpful :)
@xyz702 I think I've had GAD for a long time. For several years I was always worried for no reason, but like 2008, my symptoms became much worse, and then I slipped into this state in severe anxiety, even though their was nothing to worry about, and my compulsions, which I try very hard no to do. i also finished CBT which has helped me, but even though I use CBT, I find that it can reduce the anxiety for some situations, but it's still always there, and never goes away.
i have a Hard time talking to people comfortable i always feel awkward and when it comes to conflict at work i just shut down its costed me several jobs
None of you have to live with this anymore. I used to be a victim of this and I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-
I'm not sure if I have this disorder or not. I have always been a worrier, but one day I realized that I worry about things that none of my friends or family worry about. I don't think what I worry about is normal. Whenever my mom goes out with her friends, I become worried for her safety. I'm also overly concerned with my safety. I'm afraid to go on rollercoasters, because I worry that the seatbelt isn't going to lock in place, and then I'll fall out and die :/
@yiyalaportecheer12 no i think you suffer from ocd perhaps, or the need to be in control of situatuions, etc..i have been diagnoced with gad, i am on meds for it, and the dr is right it does run in the family. i do not have any of the phobias your describe, i love rollercoasters, etc...you imo suffer from some sort of phobia, but it is no gad.again that is just my opinion. hope this helps.
i have it and what has helped me the most is counseling and psychiatrist visits. I am on medicine because mine is biological. I take citalopram for mine and i have improved so much to were i can worry about things but it is not overwhelming. there is help out there go get it you won't regret it.
i have anxiety and im 14 and wakin up and going to school is the hardest damn thing to do it really sucks lots of people misdudge my condition which just blows @GhostFerret3000 i feel da same way
Im hoping that after I move back to the states and start living on my own, being independent in all aspects of my life, it will give me a more sure sense of security reducing my fears and ultimately bringing an end to my GAD. What do you guys think? Im open for any advice or opinions.
Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Learning to reduce my GAD symptoms, reducing stimulants intake and, as you say, getting independant all helped really get things under control again. It's tough.
I think i might have some sort of anxiety disorder I don't know wich one, i checked doctor for physical illnes that could make me feel like this, but nothing came up
I think this is all in my head i always knew from the start that this happen that it was not something physical but mental
Im just not sure anymore
you know that feeling of when you get anxies and you feel like you have to pee. Well since 2 years ago, it constantly comes up, and i cant get rid of it. Do you know what it is?
Yes, that can happen from time to time, talk to your doctor, if it's been happening for that length of time, and try and find ways to manage it. It's a psychological feeling, not a real pressing need. =)
about a year ago i told my dad about and my mom, and they both though i was crazy, well at least looked at me that way, they took me to the doc.and he though i had overactive bladder, he gave me meds that dirent work and after that i been acting like it went away, but it really has not.
So, ive been stuck with this for two years, and at school, i have learn to kinda control it, but still go 2-4 times during school. It really gets intense when a teacher tells me i cant go to the restroom.
and its horrible going on long trips. Its not a thing where i can jsut tell myself i dont have to go, because the more i try to ignore it the stronger it sometimes gets..
The only times i don't feel this way, is when i am at my house or doing some sort of physical activity like skateboarding.
I don't even like going places anymore, i stay home most of the time now.
Its basicaly getting in the way of my life.
Well at least talking to someone helps. Nobody knows about this but me here.
Stay busy man, this is both Mental and Physical. Isolating yourself in your house will NOT help, I used to be the same way and it still comes back here and there. Whenever I am busy, it helps, start doing workouts, try new things you don't normally see yourself doing. JUST DON'T TRAP YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN HEAD! This is half of the reason as to how things like this will get worse. Don't think or over analyze things too much. Like I said, do something new or something you wouldn't usually do.
It takes me 1-2 hours to fall asleep because for some weird reason I think too much, I have overactive mind which is the reason I got an anxienty problem two years ago
I need to find a way to clear my head
The only time I dont have this problem is when having fun or when at home or even when i am alone, it really only happens in places, that i know i can get embarased
Lisening to music while car ride actualy helps. But sometimes it dosent
Dude , I need some help , I cant stand the way this shit feels , I wake up in the morning , I like going to school sometimes , and then I get home and sit with my computer all day , not wanting to go and have fun with friends , and it just keeps repeating itself over and over and over and I am getting really fed up with it . Do you know anything that can help?
Well, you may think that this sounds wacky but it works... I like to over analyze things and then dwell on them for days... One time I dwelled on something so much and I was having conversations with myself in my own head. It scared me and I didn't know what to do. I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would be scared out of my mind, to the point where I was hyperventilating. We all need to be alone sometimes. But to much alone time doesn't excercise your brains process of acting out
*acting things out. You said you don't like to even go out and have fun with friends... Let me guess, (ignoring their texts/calls, saying you'll chill over the weekend and then end up not). What you have to do is steer away from what your mind wants you to do. You have to get it to react to situations. Excercise also helps, and it's what helped me the most. I made this obstacle course in the woods a while back that I run through. It gets my adrenaline pumping and forces me to react, rather than
*rather than think. Also, don't go on your computer as much. Imagine your life being in a movie right now... Would you want to watch it? Especially since it is you just chillin on the computer? Didn't think so. I know you can do this, basically, I want you to try and do something against your own will if it's involving going out with friends or something like that. You need to interact. But don't be stupid and do drugs or anything. Real bad road to go down. If you have other questions lemme know
weed, its the only thing that helps me considering i can't get a hold of any job or money or worth while project or girlfriend or loving family and i live in a shit hole comparable to the house and diet they have on the show Rosanne.
the language, school, the people, evil family terrorizing me etc. caused major stress and I believe thats what truly messed me up. I am absolutely against drugs, I believe people become dependent and have to continue taking them for the rest of their lives because it messes up their natural brain chemistry, so therefore Im trying to cope with it myself.

I don't know if anybody has what I have but my anxiety is triggered by the feelings in my body. For instance if I get like a quick headache I'll worry it's a tumor. If I feel bubbling feelings in my chest I'll think something's wrong with my heart. I focus too much on my breathing which causes me to feel short of breath. I notice every little thing medicine does to me and react badly to it. I'm just wondering if anybody else has this. I guess like this comment if you do? Or message me?

Totoallly normal. I had an experience when... I was hopisilized because my dad gave me an anxiety pill and I was so sure that my heart was beating because of the pill.. I put my dad through **** that day because they were like "why would you give her this pill blah blah blah" and tehy ran test and I was "healthy" and sent home... it was just a panic attack.. lol! I was only 10 I didn't know what anxiety was or how it felt !!

@cityMonk904 I feel this way when I take a new kind of medicine. I always feel like I am going to have a reaction. I was giving cytotec to contract after having my second baby (you suck on it for 30mins till it dissolves) and it made my throat sore.. but I kept picturing my throat closing up.. kept thinking I was going to not be able to breathe! When I told the nurse, she said... drink some water. Wasn't scared or worried about what I described. Then I really freaked out! So yes. Similar.

- explore alternative medicine. e.g. Chinese herbal medicine. find an experienced acupuncturist etc.
- Buy the book Mood Therapy by Burns (amongst other self help books)
These are things I've tried. Not saying it'll WORK, but give it a try. definitely do exercise.

I have Anxiety Disorder. Most times I feel a strong uneasiness or nervous feeling and a lot of the time I don't exactly know what I'm worried about. I end up having a overload. It builds up slowly everyday and I go through a cycle. I get frustrated if I get pushed beyond how much I can handle. But I'm learning ways to cope with it.

i though this is normal but i felt enormous amount of akwardness, depression, fear, low self esteem, and 0 hopes for future. i felt like this everyday and every minute is like hell. what i did is i meditated and worked at my emotions. all your emotions are illusions and thats it. once you realize that all of these feelings are bs which is why you have to limit your negative thinking. when you start taking feelings to serious they will make you somwhat you're not.ignore them and live your way

You can see a broken leg but you cant see an Anxiety Disorder. You try to understand the condition, others might mock or give patronising advice of little value.

I really hate GAD. Its like and STD it may go away for a few hours or days but after a while its right back at full strength. For those wondering if it'll every go away the answer is no. It never goes away just like it never came to be. We were born with anxiety and until your first panic/anxiety attack you really didn't pay it much attention. Now that you have taken notice to it and have become scared of it, it has become GAD. Anxiety feeds off fear and it my be hard to do but try to ignore it.

I have to say it use to be a lot worse. Although there are day when I feel like I can't move I worked my way through most of the things that were triggers for my most overwhelming fears.
The worst part for me is you can't cure this, no matter what know there will be times when I can just regress into really strong anxiety and it's terryfying.
Life in fear is so hard, it's unbelivable. Especially now that I know how much easier it can be.

@xHatedKiddo I do this as well. Although it may be hormonal (if you're a woman, I guess), I was diagnosed with GAD. All of the worries I have and the tension that they cause tend to make me much more irritable and emotionally raw. I cry over stupid things often and am particularly sensitive to what people say. So, it may be hormones and PMS or it may be side effects (?) of GAD. I hope that helped some. :)

Fear didn't start with medication--so it's not going to end with medication. Medication is just going to Novocain the symptoms of Fear. Yet once the medication wears off (or once the Novocain wears off)--the effects of fear or the symptoms of fear will resurface. You'll be running back to the doctor asking for some more Novocain called medication.

Those anti-anxiety drugs, benzodiazepines, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, Tricyclics, and anxiolytics are nothing more than high-priced aspirins. Meaning, they are just temporary relief. They relieve the pain yet they don't release the Fear.
The only medication that can eliminate Fear is the medication of the mind or the mental medication of thought.

How does GAD differ from depression?
The symptoms are quite similar.
I'm having a lot of trouble right now functioning. I can't go to school, I don't want any human contact, I feel so alone and unsure of everything. Just like depression. But I don't know if it's just on my mind. I experience periods of happiness once in a while. Does that indicate I have dysthamia(?) or GAD? Instead of major depression?
BebeYnez 1 year ago
@BebeYnez In a way its mostly similar, I have GAD as well and how i go through it is almost similar to yours. Cause of my GAD I have constantly stressed and stressed about almost everything. and like you i have mostly felt depressed, alone,sad,and angry and feeling like i will never make it in life. and sometimes i feel happy as well but it only last up to 2-4 days. but I do go to school despite the fact i have this and usually i do get teased cause of it.

2. Eat a balanced diet
3. Exercise moderately, preferably strenuously
4. Meditate anyway you want
5. take supplements Omega 3, vitamin B complex and D
6. Face your fears.

@CanadaUpcastXSLT You don't have GAD, although you probably have a lot of the symptoms - the way that anxiety disorders are diagnosed is they take down all your symptoms and then go for the title which best fits one of the descriptions they've drawn up (good to know, eh?). Thus, if you have already been diagnosed with OCD, they're probably going to stick with OCD and it counts out a diagnosis of GAD. Random way of doing things but whatever. Hope you feel better soon, CBT is way helpful :)

@xyz702 I think I've had GAD for a long time. For several years I was always worried for no reason, but like 2008, my symptoms became much worse, and then I slipped into this state in severe anxiety, even though their was nothing to worry about, and my compulsions, which I try very hard no to do. i also finished CBT which has helped me, but even though I use CBT, I find that it can reduce the anxiety for some situations, but it's still always there, and never goes away.

hmm... This is something for me to consider.
I always worry about illogical things.

I'm not sure if I have this disorder or not. I have always been a worrier, but one day I realized that I worry about things that none of my friends or family worry about. I don't think what I worry about is normal. Whenever my mom goes out with her friends, I become worried for her safety. I'm also overly concerned with my safety. I'm afraid to go on rollercoasters, because I worry that the seatbelt isn't going to lock in place, and then I'll fall out and die :/
I don't know. Think I have it?:O

@yiyalaportecheer12 no i think you suffer from ocd perhaps, or the need to be in control of situatuions, etc..i have been diagnoced with gad, i am on meds for it, and the dr is right it does run in the family. i do not have any of the phobias your describe, i love rollercoasters, etc...you imo suffer from some sort of phobia, but it is no gad.again that is just my opinion. hope this helps.

Im hoping that after I move back to the states and start living on my own, being independent in all aspects of my life, it will give me a more sure sense of security reducing my fears and ultimately bringing an end to my GAD. What do you guys think? Im open for any advice or opinions.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Learning to reduce my GAD symptoms, reducing stimulants intake and, as you say, getting independant all helped really get things under control again. It's tough.

I think i might have some sort of anxiety disorder I don't know wich one, i checked doctor for physical illnes that could make me feel like this, but nothing came up
I think this is all in my head i always knew from the start that this happen that it was not something physical but mental
Im just not sure anymore
you know that feeling of when you get anxies and you feel like you have to pee. Well since 2 years ago, it constantly comes up, and i cant get rid of it. Do you know what it is?
skater3shefik 2 years ago
Yes, that can happen from time to time, talk to your doctor, if it's been happening for that length of time, and try and find ways to manage it. It's a psychological feeling, not a real pressing need. =)

about a year ago i told my dad about and my mom, and they both though i was crazy, well at least looked at me that way, they took me to the doc.and he though i had overactive bladder, he gave me meds that dirent work and after that i been acting like it went away, but it really has not.
So, ive been stuck with this for two years, and at school, i have learn to kinda control it, but still go 2-4 times during school. It really gets intense when a teacher tells me i cant go to the restroom.
skater3shefik 2 years ago
and its horrible going on long trips. Its not a thing where i can jsut tell myself i dont have to go, because the more i try to ignore it the stronger it sometimes gets..
The only times i don't feel this way, is when i am at my house or doing some sort of physical activity like skateboarding.
I don't even like going places anymore, i stay home most of the time now.
Its basicaly getting in the way of my life.
Well at least talking to someone helps. Nobody knows about this but me here.
skater3shefik 2 years ago
Stay busy man, this is both Mental and Physical. Isolating yourself in your house will NOT help, I used to be the same way and it still comes back here and there. Whenever I am busy, it helps, start doing workouts, try new things you don't normally see yourself doing. JUST DON'T TRAP YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN HEAD! This is half of the reason as to how things like this will get worse. Don't think or over analyze things too much. Like I said, do something new or something you wouldn't usually do.
MGS4LYFE19 2 years ago
Thats going to be hard as i do alot of thinking
It takes me 1-2 hours to fall asleep because for some weird reason I think too much, I have overactive mind which is the reason I got an anxienty problem two years ago
I need to find a way to clear my head
The only time I dont have this problem is when having fun or when at home or even when i am alone, it really only happens in places, that i know i can get embarased
Lisening to music while car ride actualy helps. But sometimes it dosent
skater3shefik 2 years ago
Which is weird because i really don't care what people think.
But maybe, deep inside I do care what others think, and I don't even realise it.
I don't know, but do you have any idea what this is called? Is it an anxiety disorder?
skater3shefik 2 years ago
Dude , I need some help , I cant stand the way this shit feels , I wake up in the morning , I like going to school sometimes , and then I get home and sit with my computer all day , not wanting to go and have fun with friends , and it just keeps repeating itself over and over and over and I am getting really fed up with it . Do you know anything that can help?
GhostFerret3000 2 years ago
Well, you may think that this sounds wacky but it works... I like to over analyze things and then dwell on them for days... One time I dwelled on something so much and I was having conversations with myself in my own head. It scared me and I didn't know what to do. I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would be scared out of my mind, to the point where I was hyperventilating. We all need to be alone sometimes. But to much alone time doesn't excercise your brains process of acting out
MGS4LYFE19 2 years ago
*acting things out. You said you don't like to even go out and have fun with friends... Let me guess, (ignoring their texts/calls, saying you'll chill over the weekend and then end up not). What you have to do is steer away from what your mind wants you to do. You have to get it to react to situations. Excercise also helps, and it's what helped me the most. I made this obstacle course in the woods a while back that I run through. It gets my adrenaline pumping and forces me to react, rather than
MGS4LYFE19 2 years ago
*rather than think. Also, don't go on your computer as much. Imagine your life being in a movie right now... Would you want to watch it? Especially since it is you just chillin on the computer? Didn't think so. I know you can do this, basically, I want you to try and do something against your own will if it's involving going out with friends or something like that. You need to interact. But don't be stupid and do drugs or anything. Real bad road to go down. If you have other questions lemme know
MGS4LYFE19 2 years ago
weed, its the only thing that helps me considering i can't get a hold of any job or money or worth while project or girlfriend or loving family and i live in a shit hole comparable to the house and diet they have on the show Rosanne.

the language, school, the people, evil family terrorizing me etc. caused major stress and I believe thats what truly messed me up. I am absolutely against drugs, I believe people become dependent and have to continue taking them for the rest of their lives because it messes up their natural brain chemistry, so therefore Im trying to cope with it myself.
