Hi there man so sad what GAD can do I’ve gone through similar. I never threw up but I did absolutely everything possible to help myself and I’m on the right track and doing well. I did feel sick and I was obsessive and paranoid and I wanted to be sent to a hospital to be saved. If it weren’t for my family and friends I probably wouldn’t be here. Also I don’t blame you for not going to the party sometimes you’re health is better than an important event although it’s sad you couldn’t make it. I wish you all the best mate.

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

I had my anxiety under control then I had a fall and injured my nose. I realised after a visit to A&E I’d blocked my left nostril. Told I needed an operation to clear it just sent my anxiety out of control. I can’t face the operation so I’m now stock in a never ending cycle of severe anxiety & depression. I’ve had the crisis team to see me and I’m now visited by a metal health co - ordinator.

[@Joel-nv7gd]

i dont know how to explain it ill just be living my life and everyday ill just randomly get like a weird realization feeling in my brain and i just start worrying for nothing i need help and i wish i could be normal again man

[@feltfrog]

I was meant to go to a volunteering event today i’d committed to several weeks ago, on a topic I’m extremely interested in, and because I had a panic attack last night I’m unwell this morning and have had to cancel last minute. I feel so much guilt and shame and embarrassment on top of the crushing fear and panic. I’m so tired but I can’t sleep

[@MemeLord_7793]

I tip my hat to you. One legend to another

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

You're awesome my friend!

[@MemeLord_7793]

You too my friend

[@brodyhoulihan65]

Although, my family and friends have provided a lot of support through my struggles and is the main reason why I'm still here to say this.

[@jamesmasters4255]

I’ve had anxiety on and off and had to go on long term medication as I feel like I can’t cope. Slowly getting better with each day.

[@chrisgreen2299]

Thank you for sharing. I suffer also. Therapy never helped me, only medication. Would talk therapy help someone having a heart attack? This is a real illness, and medication can save you a life of suffering.

[@brodyhoulihan65]

I have had GAD as a diagnosis for 8 years now, I have gone to events with my friends and family, although my anxiety has caused almost all of these events to go wrong or leave me feeling guilty. Making me worry about going to future events to this day. I have tried therapy for a little bit, although I may need to look into it more. I am also on meds, which have helped tremendously, in making me feel less worried about certain things such as meeting new people, which used to be impossible for me to do.

[@brodyhoulihan65]

Also thank you for sharing your experience with GAD and exposing it to more people. We appreciate you.

[@hiss9989]

I would legit go hungry for a day or two before finally going out for groceries.

I just wanted to say you're a handsome guy and on that note people think if you're good-looking are you have it together or if you appear appear to have it together then you don't or couldn't possibly have disabling anxiety and you are living proof that is not true.

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Thank you very much for your kind words! People don't understand that it doesn't matter what you look like, how much money you have, what colour or religion you are ANYONE can struggling with an anxiety disorder! How are you today/tonight?

Any physical symptoms

[@travisn346]

Hi Charlie have you done The Linden Method?

[@tmtoler]

Does anyone have constant shortness of breath?

[@guineveremoonmist1060]

For me I have to have Prozac and 6 mg of clonazepam a day at the very least

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Thank you so much for sharing, does your medication help you?

[@guineveremoonmist1060]

And the Prozac help with the intrusive OCD thoughts and depression

[@dianebach1301]

I can actually relate.

[@cheikhhmayadi6870]

Can someone have GAD without having the physical symptoms?

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Hey, how are you? Honestly I don't think so but I'm not entirely sure as I'm not a therapist and everyone is different, have you spoken to someone about this before? If you want to speak to a therapist you can speak to someone here who is our sponsor - betterhelp.com/authenticmentalhealth

[@arianam9977]

By physical symptons you mean getting sick, panic attacks, etc.? If so, I was diagnosed with this a couple years ago by a psychologist and I don't have a lot of that. That only happens to me when I'm bad about something really important, like what he explains about not going to his mother's birthday party. But in my dayly life it's mostly the negative thoughts.

Ahhhh. You covered allot but in my opinion u covered it like a salesman doctor. Not your experience.

[@ziaccubus]

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder on October 22nd, 2015 but have experienced anxiety way before hand. The only thing I heavily worry about is feeling so physically sick to the point where I vomit. I have severe emetophobia which keeps me from doing so many things, including living a normal life. For my elementary school years, I had it worse until I went to counseling. I don’t remember much about it but it gave me a major relief for a few years, I didn’t have severe panic attacks and if I had some sort of anxiety, it was only alittle and would go away after I breathed for a few seconds. But in between that time period, I was mainly struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. But now, my anxiety recently came back and I haven’t left my house in 55+ days after having a huge panic attack in public that caused me to gag. I’ve been terrified to go anywhere since. I have not tried therapy since it’s hard for me to talk to someone without crying, but I am doing to see someone next week.

[@bean9482]

i also have emetophobia and anxiety, the two go hand in hand for me unfortunately. the worst part is during a really bad anxiety attack i actually did get sick (fully, not just gagging) and my mental health steeply declined after that incident. i’m wondering if therapy has helped you? if so, i may just look into that as well. i wish you the best of luck moving forward, friend ❤️

[@Nancy-ow9wy]

How are you doing now? Even I suffer from anxiety due to my traumatic brain injury and also have been diagnosed bipolar im on multiple meds it's hard sometimes when you don't know what is happening but let's stay positive and hope for the best ❤

[@ziaccubus]

@@Nancy-ow9wy hello! I’ve lately been doing 10 times better. Sometime after this comment I was put into the hospital and was diagnosed with ARFID: an eating disorder which stemmed from my anxiety and fear of vomit so I was severely underweight. I was put in the right path and have been suffering less as of late. I’m very thankful for where I am now. I’m sorry it’s been rough for you but it will get better.
