What it's like to live with Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized anxiety disorder to more than just stress and it's different than panic. It's a persistent feeling of anxiety lasting most of the day.

[@miriamyunus616]

GAD is very hard to live with. You always feel stressed. It's rare you can relax for a large amount of time. People with GAD will never know what it's like to be chilling. You tend to be worried about things that probably would never happen, but yet you're still scared. You feel like you have no control over your life sometimes.

There was a time in my life where I felt so low so I looked for a professional opinion. I was shocked when I knew that people don’t have a million thoughts all the time, I was surprised when I realized that people can have something called clarity of mind, no thoughts, worries, or problems to process. I never knew that people can experience those little moments which are stress free. I was relieved to know that there was something wrong so I can fix it. Sometimes we can be so blind to notice our issues, please seek help if you are struggling.

[@rockmeyer6988]

I know the pain brother. I work at a restaurant at nights but when I'm not doing that I try to stay in the house as much as possible. Sometimes i get anxiety about going outside and smoking a cigarette. I always think crazy thoughts like what if i pass out, or what if i have a panic attack, and then everybody will think I'm crazy. I've had 2 panic attacks in public. Once in school, and then one pretty recently when i was at the grocery store by myself. Sometimes i have anxiety, about having anxiety. Sometimes the anxiety can turn into a panic attack, and sometimes the panic attacks will last until I am out of the area, that is triggering the panic attack, such as a grocery store, or a place with lots of people.

[@rockmeyer6988]

now i am fully aware that these are abnormal thoughts, and fear, but i still have trouble controlling them on a daily bases. It makes it very hard for me to move up in life, or to get a job that pays enough so i can sustain myself. The person i live with doesn't understand it. My father just thinks I'm lazy, and don't want to do anything. I asked a few day ago... "How much can somebody avoid going outside, and having friends, and speaking to people, before it becomes more than just laziness, or carelessness?" It truly is mentally debilitating, especially when the person you're living with doesn't understand any of it. I t is literally a chemical imbalance in the brain. Either caused by a traumatic event or an imbalance that you were born with.

I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife, i suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

[@laurj09]

Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

[@MarcWilliams-dz7ik]

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling arount in bed time, not being able to sleep with a brain in full gear and some color effects on the walls but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later

[@johnzimmer8665]

I was diagnosed with GAD several years ago and I really feel like most people don’t have an understanding of how debilitating it can be. Some people don’t even think it’s real and many will look at you like you’re crazy for having it. Having to explain it to a doctor is hard without them thinking you’re pill shopping. Everyday is like being trapped in endless misery. I’ve come to the point of self medication because doctors refuse to prescribe benzos even though they work for my disorder. I hate that people will use my disorder against me, because it isn’t always recognizable. Anyway, I just think people need to look at it as a very real mental disorder and condition.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Chloe, If anxiety affects your physical health visit a physician. Heal yourself with determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. For more relaxation enter the following on google search “528 Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”” and listen for 10 minutes before sleep. Repeat softly in the mind. You will get relief quickly. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Tim what methods did you use to combat it?

[@jellyfish74]

Can’t speak for Tim but I overcame GAD and panic disorder using the DARE Response method. Look it up here on KZbin. Also check out the channel Vacate Fear. Very Similar approach. If I could do it, ANYONE can. I was very, very ruined by anxiety and I have my life back completely now. If/when I do get some anxiety symptoms, I don’t even sweat it at all, I just allow it completely and surf the wave until it passes. Takes a little practice to unlearn the “normal” response to anxiety (dread, fighting it/pushing it away, numbing with meds/alch/drugs, feeding it with more fear) and learning to accept and become comfortable with it being there, but once it “clicks”, it’s waaaaay easier to deal with and the healing happens quickly. All the best to you!

I’ve had it for over 30 years. I look back to my childhood and see a huge trauma I experienced when it began. I’m pretty sure it’s a form of ptsd.

I know,more then likely, no one is going to read this but, if you do, just know, you're not alone! Suicide isn't the answer but, I sure do think about it a lot. I don't know if I can kill myself.

Well expect when I do a little bit of exercise it seems to go away for a little while. I am going to go run 2 miles. Maybe that will work. And I haven't run for a week now so it will be good to do so. Now that I am thinking about it: This could be the most stressful year I probably ever had in my life. Now that I am thinking about it. But things seem to be getting better over all, and there's nothing to be stressed about right now. So why do I still have it?

Thank you for this video. Having had severe anxiety since I can remember, it feels so incredible to hear a professional describe your life experience. Without knowing anyone else with anxiety, it's so easy to feel alone, frustrated and self-loathing. Constantly thinking "What's wrong with me?" Why can't I just send emails like other people? Why can't I let things go like other people? Why can't I turn off my doubts, worries and constant rumination? Why can't I make decisions like other people? Why does my future feel hopeless? Why isn't trying harder enough? Once you can name it something other than overall inadequacy, the smallest glimmer of hope begins to shine through and you slowly start to see a way forward.

The only thing I can think of is clocking out early and running to my house. It's actually the only place I feel safe in. Even going to the grocery stores I have to wait until extremely early or extremely late when there is nobody in the stores. I always think that someone is judging me. And then that sets off my panic attacks and I have to leave the store and get in my truck and turn the AC on and try to calm my heart rate down. This is not a fun disease it is absolutely debilitating, and it makes you wonder if you are ever going to be normal again or if this is the reality you have to live with. I am currently on Xanax and cymbalta buspar and to other medications like hydrozine. Anybody else living with this disease when you have my sympathies, and my prayers.

It feels like my story - since my anexiety started 5 years ago i have had jobs but only short because i got so stressed and could not switch off the stress when i came home and there fore could not sleep and the bad cycle just goes. I think off it as social anexiety but maybee it can also be GAD because my anexiety is around all day - i think you will get better as most do just takes time to learn and accept

Yep. She's got it down pat. My whole damn life. It's miserable. I can only just barely feel any good emotions anymore. From the moment I get up to the moment I pass out, it's stress fear and pain. I'm on meds from a general doctor, and they keep me alive, but still, I'm in misery. Psychotherapy would be nice but I'm broke. No insurance, and you're left to suffer. I'm not productive enough to matter.

What did fear ever really done to you, except make you afraid. Don't try to run away from the fear, because you can not run away. Still if you try to run it will cause hurt. Sit sown and look directly at the fear. At first it will be very frightening, but anyway you are feeling frightening, but this time you are looking at it and if you really look at it without personal attachment you will notice that it is only scaring you, and it is succeeding only because you are not looking at it directly. But when you do, it looses its power. You expose the fear and let it be. In letting it just be there and looking at it with cimpassion without judging it, it will dissipate. It will take time. Try it and see, you have nothing to lose. Anyway you are afraid🙏🏼

As someone who's diagnosed with GAD but 3 years later found some ways to cope...Here are my little tips to you:) -Journaling (this provides you with some mental clarity overtime, which brings you peace. it also helps make your thoughts more rational since a lot of the times when we really write it out, we're maybe not as bad as we think we are.) -Meditation (this literally provided me with coping skills i still use, the app i reccomend is mindgarden since it feels nice to be able to plan.a flower each time you meditate.) -Therapy (this is the #1 thing you should do since it really helps so much & can make you feel heard in this world.) Extra thing about anxiety: Personally, I find when my anxiety get's really bad, I feel physical pain wether thats needing to use the bathroom urgently, pain in my stomach, or sudden aches. What I do, is try to get to a safe spot near me and let it out (my emotional pain). This will eventually make the physical pain go away as well. Then I try finding a meditation for releasing the emotion, and usually cry even more letting myself feel every single thing. Eventually with the meditation and journaling you should be able to release your emotion and come out more at peace:) I hope this helps someone out there, you are seen and understood. I know the struggle it can be but I also know it can make you have more self care time too (which doesn't have to be a bad thing).

I started to have this mild anxiety about two days ago, and it has been lasting all day or most of it. I never felt like this on my life. It is so strange! I have no heath problems. I normally workout except this past week or so because of the holidays. I started to take 250mg Magnesium Citrate too! Magnesium helps fight these things from what I understand. Today feels a bit better now but this is strange! My heart keeps beating and I feel a little stressed no matter what I do. Well expect when I do a little bit of exercise it seems to go away for a little while. I am going to go run 2 miles. Maybe that will work. And I haven't run for a week now so it will be good to do so. Now that I am thinking about it: This could be the most stressful year I probably ever had in my life. Now that I am thinking about it. But things seem to be getting better over all, and there's nothing to be stressed about right now. So why do I still have it? As I wright this luckily it feels that its finally going away, or at least getting better. So why do I still have it? Now luckily. This is all strange. Does anybody know what this is? Why do I feel like this? It is so strange!

I developed depression many years ago too - constant crying etc. If I'm being honest, life hasn't got any better. I'm still crippled with anxiety, every waking moment of every day. It's developed into ocd (obsessive thoughts). I don't see no end in sight. I am a total failure regarding career, and I've become a very damaged person. I'm trying my best to be a good person.

[@philholding6905]

Psychometric measures help in differentiating GAD from other disorders ( e.g. OCD etc). There are a lot of physical symptoms related to GAD in the DAM-5. GAD is mainly a worry problem, coupled with intolerance to uncertainty. It can be confused with both OCD and perfectionism. This is because the person has to be certain that things are perfectly correct without the least doubt. People with GAD usually need excessive information to make a decision, however small, They constantly search for alternatives and what fits best. They have a lot of indecisiveness'. This causes irritability and frustration. It is not uncommon for GAD sufferers to do things themselves, otherwise they live in doubt that the task has not been completed properly. The 'what if' thought/talk usually is dominant and pervasive. To loosen up the cognitions, and ground them in the present, i usually ask them to adopt a 'what is' , rather than 'what if' statement (what if, is in the future) You see worriers are proficient mental time travellers!. They also reassurance seek a lot. I start by asking them to monitor there worry periods, not the content of worry, just the amount of time (worry awareness training.) A facet to the worry is that people believe that worry actually helps (see Dugas et al on GAD). Once in therapy we debunk these beliefs, it helps recovery. Worry starts off an actively conscious process, then the more we worry the more anxious we become, and it gets to a state (if not challenged) that we have persistent anxiety day after day, with an absence of worry, and when we realise we are anxious we internally search for reasons for this and the then resume our worrying. It is cyclonic (that a big word). Progressive Muscle relaxation PMR) helps the sympathetic system to relax. Unfortunately the more one worries the more one gets anxious. CBT helps to disrupt this cycle.

This is one of the most profound explanations I have ever seen, how do you challenge the ones where it’s no longer conscious, you can’t find a reasonable reason as to why you feel the way you do, things like being woken up in the morning by anxiety, feeling anxious in social situations and when you do challenge the anxiety in social situations it takes a lot of energy so it’s just like it’s easier to stay anxious than to challenge the anxiety.

I'm really struggling right now with wether I should get help or not. Sometimes I go through the list of GAD symptoms and think, wow, that is really relatable, I most likely have GAD and should do something to combat it. And other times I just think that I don't worry enough to actually be considered anxious all day, and that I'd only waste the time and money of everyone trying to help me. But then again worrying lots about that would also make a point about having GAD, no? Currently I wrote down all points that would point to me suffering from GAD, to prepare speaking to my mother about her helping me at least get a diagnosis and speak to a professional to know what's up. I'm very unsure because of the fact that I was at one point too scared to get to school because I'd spend the entire way on the train and bus thinking about how we were gonna crash and I was going to die, and the only thing that made me go anyway was the fear of everyone hating me when I miss out on everything happening at school. I'm better now, so I feel like I don't need help anymore, but I also know that I don't want to be as scared as I am and I want at least that diagnosis and then i get back to the thought of wasting people's energy.

Thank you so much for this video. I havent been officially diagnosed with GAD yet, but from hearing the symptoms that you mentioned, I have all of them. I CONSTANTLY have bad thoughts, mostly about something bad happening. I wake up with bad thoughts, have bad thoughts throughout the day, and I usually go to sleep with bad thoughts. I am constantly worrying and thinking of worse case scenario with everything. My thing is If i let my guard down or relax, something bad will happen at that very moment and I could have prevented it from happening had I not let my guard down. Weird, i know. I also think of catastrophes happening, such as natural disasters or just off the wall stuff. Sudden, Loud noises scare me, and my thoughts are very specific. I had my first panic attack in 2016 at work and had no idea what it was; I thought I was legitimately dying. I was in an abusive relationship for many years, which made me extremely anxious, unhappy and led me to self medicate with alcohol and weed for about 7 years. I no longer self medicate. I had a full time job last year and was having anxiety attacks in front of my customers. I thought I was having low blood sugar attacks. My anxiety Is out of control and I'm in constant state of fight or flight. I can never relax, it's as if I'm too scared to.

[@stevenlupanko2983]

Weed and alcohol really progress GAD I took the weed route for a few years 30 odd years ago but switched to alcohol. Anxiety disorders can definitely lead to addiction or symptoms uncannily similar to addiction because alcohol especially can take us out of that mindset . I am now 3 years no alcohol but my mental health never improved in any way so I ended up on antidepressants, they slow the overthinking but it's done absolutely fook all for my irrational fears. I'm not being big-headed but physically I am hard as nails but if the wind wakes me up at night I am absolutely terrified I am terrified of socialising and random noises outside the house cause me to have panic attacks it's not paranoia it's just pure fear my body produces to much adrenaline and that it turn triggers attacks. I do know my issue was always there my sister and nephew are diagnosed with similar issues and we are all super sensitive to sound and irritated by it. My nephew was diagnosed with autism my sister bi polar and me with GAD Christmas is fun in my family lol. Basically you will lose your marbles completely if you don't stay off the weed and booze I personally now have to accept life on lives terms I can drown my thoughts and feelings because they come back 10 fold. Alcohol and weed affect sleep and stop the brain doing what is should when we sleep which is to file all our thoughts away neatly. For me I had a 30 year backlog of thoughts plus the thoughts of a anxiety disorder. Now I live with constant suicidal thoughts, break downs etc blah blah blah without medication I just couldn't stay about forever life is for living. When death seemed a better option that life I had to do something to change it antidepressants don't make me anti-depressed but they help keep me in the present rather than being dragged to a past or future of constant worry. Mariah one way to know you definitely have GAD is if you get involuntary thoughts that just don't filter through like they do for most people. I can be sat at home worrying about money for hours on end and this can last for weeks then it will be pushed out by another though e.g I will start thinking for other people and judging there lives even though they don't know that. This is called perfectionism and can happen to people when they feel their own lives are out of control. It's basically a resentment of unhappiness. Good news is that GAD can be on very different levels from mild to extreme mine started mild 30 years ago but they took til 2018 to diagnose me so it progressed as did my drinking. Wish you good luck for the future.

It’s really the worst. I can’t function and even on medication it’s not stopping. Ruminating thoughts day and night and a heart rate that won’t stop going 100 mph. Thankgod the sleeping pills I got prescribed work at night because with no sleep it’s 10 x worse.

I think i might have generalized anxiety disorder

[@kylebrotzel]

My anxiety issues started 2 years ago, and am taking medication for it. Unwanted thoughts( daily or almost daily), trouble with sleeping, racing heart, a little dizzy, panic attacks, sometimes a bit of chest pain, and panic attacks. Yeah, it's from years of stress

I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety recently, but now have realized that I've had it for years after watching your video. I can't interact with people,except on commenting on fb because I'm kinda cloaked hiding behind a screen, and all I do is worry worry worry. It's definitely hard to function. I'm not working because it's hard to be with people or even talk to them over the phone. I can't even get out of bed sometimes and I use social media to distract my self. And this anxiety does make me angry a lot. Thank you for this video all you said I can relate to. I've hurt people because of this disorder and it sucks because I love them and I don't mean to. Meditation will cure this, but only if I had a quiet place to meditate.

Ryan--Do some public speaking courses. If anxiety affects internal physical health visit a physician. Medication is needed. Heal yourself with determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed if possible early morning. For more relaxation enter the following on google search “528 Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”” and listen for 10 minutes before sleep. Repeat softly in the mind. You will get relief quickly. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

For me It feels like every little thing poses a serious risk to my health or the health of those around me. It's like I'm constantly on edge, worrying that any slip-up in my diet or lifestyle could lead to serious consequences. For example, if I have a bad diet day, I immediately start thinking about how it's affecting my long-term health and mortality. Even something as innocent as indulging in a cookie triggers feelings of guilt and fear, as if I'm putting my life at risk with every bite. Whenever I skip a workout, I spiral into thoughts of how I'm neglecting my health and setting myself up for potential health problems down the road. The worst part is the constant vigilance over every little symptom or sign of illness. A simple cough or allergies or sniffle sends my mind racing with thoughts of worst-case scenarios, convinced that I'm already on the brink of something serious. It's exhausting living in a constant state of fear and anxiety over health. I know it's important to take care of myself, but this level of anxiety is debilitating. Does anyone else struggle with health-related anxiety like this? Any tips on how to cope and find some peace of mind?

Hi there, I suffer from gad, life is hell with it. I catastrophise over the health of my children which is torture constantly. Can anyone tell me does Prozac help. I've started few weeks ago but not helping yet

[@martindurkin8837]

It's hell on earth especially if you are all alone in this world.

[@Enchantedforestfaetarot]

I was diagnosed at 16 with this. Im 32 now. I self medicated from 20-30 with opiates. But I've gotten clean and I'm suffering bad..i.feel really crazy most days. I can't stop thinking and worrying. I have horrible health anxiety..I truly believe I have terminal illnesses and going to die from them. Within the last 3 months, I think I've went through 4 different terminal illnesses and this last one is the worst. It's driving me insane. This disorder sucks really bad..

[@ennuied]

the only way out is to not pity oneself and act healthy, I know this sounds insensitive, but I found out the more I recognise my condition as something definite the more definite the condition becomes, as though I give it strength through belief. Anxiety, at least in my case comes from overthinking, I know I should not overthink and when I have many responsibilities or worries that is A LOT of overthinking. So, either one or the other have to get diminished, either overthinking or responsibilities. Remember, you are only human, you don't know your limits, you might be at your capacity.

[@robinkomoto5573]

GAD my entire life- as long as I can remember. Meds and Therapy can only do so much, especially during difficult life experiences

[@dulcebabyy15]

I am not diagnosed but I am constantly worried and stressed. If I can’t sleep I stress about not sleeping which makes it worse. I feel a bit of pain somewhere and immediately begin to research about it. I say that I can go out if I wanted to but I honestly don’t think so. I think I got over my fear of driving (sort of) but I still never feel comfortable enough to go anywhere alone bc I worry about so many things. If I ever do, it’s a battle of “excuses” to not do it which is mostly to avoid it. A few times I’ve gone out by myself and it actually feels good but I usually can’t. I declined a job offer bc I was too anxious and feared failing or not being confident enough to do the responsibilities. I’m usually home all the time and I tell myself it’s bc I have nowhere to go but when I could go somewhere I make excuses. I’m tired of having constant battles in my head and not feeling confident or enough for jobs that I qualify for. I also forget so many things and don’t remember most of my life.
