I have G.A.D, i my first G.A.D experience took place in my young years of 8 - 11, I over stressed about my mother dying, it was an unessecary thing to worry about but my mother and i have an extremely close relationship. my school that i was in at the time was an unhappy place for me, i would never do well in school and i'd often have suicidal thoughts, and of course be very depressed, i never had friends and i wandered alone, i would cry, and beg god to make me stop crying, my mother was very

I have GAD and have a year off university and aim to use any resource available to get out of it or at least to the point I have sex drive and appetite back. I think if I have them back I will be out of the bubble of depression which is not severe but bad enough to destroy all my sex drive an appetite.

[weahuhfidh]

[mypanicaway]

I have suffered with panic attacks for 15 years and all the counseling, medication and books I have purchased within the 15 years just masked the fear, never eliminated it for good. The only program that has given me long term success was Barry Joe McDonaghs Panic Away program. Thank you so much Barry for changing my life. My 15 year battle with panic attacks is now a thing of the past. Click on my channel mypanicaway for details.

[sss1292]

@mypanicaway me too

[a7xatreyuawsome]

@mypanicaway i dont mean this to sound bad, but you saying youve had it for 15 years makes me kinda happy. sorry

[lardevlin]

At 9:00pm every day I would examine my worries , fret live in impending doom or do what ever I deemed needed to satiate the worry.

Strangely enough 90% of my concerns didn't seem so important any more..The weeks that followed saw its fair share of worry creeping into my daytime thinking but it became less ans less and after about 6 months \i am no longer a worrier and feel really good. I hope this helps.

[debbiechester1]

thank you it helped me.

[MoonlightTonight]

If you want some help and want to recover just let me know.

[evenmorejunk]

may I ask how you can help? I have worry issues, they never end

[skatejust4fun1]

i do need so help and want to get my breathing from shallow to better

[Marioezteban13]

@MoonlightTonight How can u help?

[tantsue]

i know someone who has this disease and is taking alprazolam tablets. and he is getting married to a friend of mine who doesnt know any idea about his condition. what should i do? tell my friend or not and would that disease effect thier married life? should i be really concern? please advice me - the wedding is very soon!!

[cutesta007]

I might be too late to answer your question, but even if I am, it's still relevant, honesty in relationships is what makes it strong, maybe if you spoke to him first ( that's if he has not told her already) maybe he's worried at what she will think of him ? it really is not a disease, it's a treatable disorder that he can over come if he get the treatment he needs, Good luck :-)

[PureMassacre75]

@tantsue Stay out of it. Yes it will effect their married life. Tell the person who is marrying your friend they should discuss it. Other than that, stay out of it.

[alexinsf]

Thank you so much for all the information you have shared.

[FacnyCatFighter]

I went to my Doctor, He gave me pills to prevent me from becoming nauseous. The pills didn't help. Recently I've had a resurgence in my Anxiety. I can't stop the nauseous feeling I have, and the fast heart rate. The worry is destroying my life, I can't enjoy myself anymore.

[lucyii]

Thank you. I really need to go see my doctor.

[tjd07x]

"angsiadisorder" thanks doc

[ChinoMoreno4life]

my doctor prescribed me paxil and i hate the way it makes me feel.... ive lost everything that appeals to me

[wolfgamer1]

Im 15 anxiety already?

[redraftlife]

My doctor prescribed me Xanor, and i was addicted. I think pills just help you temporarily. and after the effects of the pills are drained, its just you against the world again.

[itzahazylife]

pills don't cure, they just mask

[924142707]

Pills are a bandaid on a major cut. They may help stop the bleeding a bit but they aren't meant to be the solution.

[itzahazylife]

that's how they make their money..by not finding ways to cure things..but by finding ways to mask them..the american health system is a joke.

[happilylil]

Vilift it really gave me what i need with my pill. i never thought it will be this great.

[lyteweaver]

pills are never a permanent solution but i am glad you are feeling better. try to get off the pills and do it naturally. all the best! love 'n' light, x

[petanda312]

Hi, Just wondering how your doing? I'm asking a few people who are or aren't talking about medication because I'm getting a prescription for Paxil and I'm not sure if I'm going to take it.

I know everyone is different, I've been told I have GAD, PTSD, agoraphobia, depression, bi-polar, etc, and been given a bunch of different kinds of pills to try over the years but I've only gotten worse until I found NLP last week which has helped so much.

[eoincollins28]

It ruined so many relationships...it reely is hell.

[moo5009]

I have GAD. It's awful, you can't stop it no matter what you do, even though you know it's not even true. Sometimes if I solve a problem the worry will temporarily stop, but about an hour later I think about it and the worry is just as if not more intense than it start. But most of the time i'm plagued by it 24/7, mostly for illogical reasons that make absolutely no sense.

[b20121984]

Hey man, im just like you. I can get over my problem but 10 mins later ive got something new to back up the worry. I dont understand why i am the way i am but i know that its a rough life and i feel ya.

[petanda312]

Just curious how things are going?

I'm getting a prescription today for Paxil and I'm not sure if I'm going to take it. I've made a lot of progress with my new way of thinking and NLP, but yesterday I went out by myself for the first time in 6 months and got so scared I called my fiancee to come get me.

At least I got to where I wanted to be but I totally psyched myself out and had help getting back.

[babiboi79]

wow, ive been troubled all my life ..... i have been searching as to what most suits my problem ... I think this is 100 percent my problem ......this sucks :)...I prolly will die youg ... heart attack or something ... Cuz i worry too much about what my doctor will say when i bring this up .. so i dont go to the doctor ... maybe tommorrow i will have irratable bowel or something else ?

[emmersjemmers]

I have GAD and it's RUINED my life. It's hell.

[PierreLeone]

wat did it do to you?

[sjerads]

@emmersjemmers It is hell. Thank God there is at least one person out there who understands.

[frankbagsby]

there were some roomates i had that freebased and some of their friends were stricken by gad from doing the drug my roomate said it was from the police taking them to jail they had developed the same thing vets doi just ignored em unless they did somethin funny

[kathyputinish]

i need him to treat me one on one

[manussa77]

I loved it, up until he said about the meds. Some ppl do have to take them. But, ppl should look into other solutions first. Being on meds, can lead to nasty side effects. I just wish he would have said that.

[meetmalz]

thankyou , u've given me a positive outlook by saying its completely solvable,

[DJhollywoodgurl]

I have ocd. i know the feeling. i hvae ocd about cleaness. i bleach my counters ,vacum,lay out my clothes for the next day,sweep my room,spray air fresher,brush my teeth,wash my face, everynight!!!!! i also dt wear clothes that are not ironed. ocd is hell! i wish it would justy go away! sincerlly, holly

[lloosdrecht]

Thank God some psychologists are actually looking at the root of the problem rather than covering it up with drugs.

[DJhollywoodgurl]

amen!!!!!!!!!

[benkrawks]

Agreed. I just went off my klonopin a few weeks ago... the panic attacks have been horrible since then, but I'm glad to be rid of medication. It doesn't solve anything.

[MidwestPrincess19]

It took me 4 years(my highschool career) to finally overcome and fight my panic attacks.

Its so worth the books and therapy though.

U learn so much.

I feel so much stronger then 4 years ago.

[panicattackboy]

i freak out when my i have to go anywhere like for a meal with my gfriend,i know shes gonna dump me at some point coz of this so i get even worse thinking about that on top of my disorder.i have it all but just recently my anxiety have connected itself to when i eat.

[jerro19711971]

I had that same problem with my ex girlfriend, she dumped me. She said I always was mad at her. But I wasn't! I just was feeling all the effects from anxiety. I was quiet sometimes and felt disconnected but not mad at her. Oh well life sucks then you die!

[Laurence000001]

You don't know that for sure, I used to suffer from panic attacks and my gf was very supportive and understanding, now i'm over it and we're still together :) It's such a common thing, and you'll be surprised who has/is suffering from it. All the best.

[opensesame]

This is exactly what I've been going through and it has effected my life negatively for so long.

[Mobile3999]

He looks and talks just like John McCain

[mollholl3]

I know that I have this but have not taken the steps to treat it.

[geo1616]

im not sure if i have this but if i do im begining to over come it what i did is just relax and try to become more outgoing slowly

[DDKemp]

Tremendously helpful! I was diagnosed 20 years ago with GAD. I had NO clue what it was! I took the medicine prescribed (Ativan) and it did help me. I also took an antidepressant. I did get better. BUT, over time I became addicted to the Ativan (absolutely no mention of it being an addictive medication). The withdrawal from it was hell, but I was determined to get off the meds and help myself more through exercise and relaxation and a better diet. It worked and I'm 90% anxiety-free.

[odiggler]

(COMMENT 1)I lived this GAD nightmare in the flesh,

Not until I got professional help I realized I was suffering from it.

My profession as a Real Estate Broker put a lot of pressure on me, at the same

Time the market was falling apart. Oh no...what am I gonna do? I worried non stop.

The symptoms are by far the most intense thing I've ever gone through. I thought I had a brain tumor, cancer, epilepsy, HIV, I was going crazy, having a heart attack, Etc, Etc.

[odiggler]

(COMMENT 2)To anyone going through this please know that you will get over this, while at the same time make you a better, stronger well rounded person. If you are going through this now you need to stop: Sugar, Caffeine, and Alcohol, until you can stop worrying all the time.

As a former perfectionist I have learned that the concept of perfectionism is what got me to this place in the first place. Always remember "every dog has his day, every day has its way"

[odiggler]

(COMMENT 3)Last but not least, if your symptoms are unbearable, and you thing you may potentially harm yourself...Remember there is medication (nothing wrong with it till you change your thought process) Thoughts are very powerful, but since we can't see them we dismiss them. Don't ever forget you have the power to chose you thought just like you have the power to chose you clothing, shoes, cologne, food, car, ETC.

[uklondon10]

It doesnt cure me what ever i do. Mabe 4 short term, But then its jus back to normal

[dice0123123]

i say this over and over..its always good to put feedbacks that helps people out in figuring out what they have and how they can get help..thanx again dr.sodomsky

[dice0123123]

...then from the information i had told him, he suspected that i have GAD and i strongly agreed with him..so he gave me another antidepressant and that seems to be working..it kinda helps for the adhd as well..it calms me down and makes me worry much less..i have learned a lot from sodomsky today as well and i will be reading your book dr. ..thanx for the info and its good to hear from people..

[dice0123123]

...so the psychiatrist saw me and he gave me some meds for adhd given the fact me telling him that i get anxious at times, so he thought maybe i have a social anxiety disorder which could be a part of GAD. So he gave me celexa (citalopram) to help me with my anxiety and i had bad side effects...

[dice0123123]

hi, i have always had a problem with paying attention and focusing on things to do at a given time, but never managed to be able to get things done. So i believed that i had adhd and i insisted to see a psychologist, so my family doctor referred me to a psychologist and she did diagnose me with adhd and then in turn referred me to a psychiatrist to get therapy treatment for my adhd.

[emmanuelsprincess]

Thank you Sir! I will be getting your book soon. It is JUST SO COMFORTING knowing that there are people out there, like yourself, who do fully understand this - makes me feel less of a freak and definitely understood, and yes, validated! I'm normal, and this awful GAD thing is curable. I will be persuing therapy now and will beat this thing, Thank you Sir!

Wow! It's great to hear that there are things a person can do to control this problem. And it's especially nice to hear that medication is not the only answer. Thanks for sharing this information. Sounds like your book would be very helpful. I look forward to seeing it.

[slats103]

It's great to know how common this is and that it affects a lot of people.  This is a really great and informative piece - I'm glad to see that there are a lot of easy techniques to use to help with this problem even before considering meds. Thanks for posting it.
