Dealing with Anxiety: Seeking Support

My anxiety cuts through me like a knife. It can get so bad. Panic attacks GAD. Anxiety is such an awful feeling. We all understand. Right now I’ve been doing alright since I stopped going to therapy!

I have GAD and Panic Attack Disorder but it's something I feel like I have a good hold on at this point in my life which is refreshing

Yes, I’ve always had anxiety/anxious moments but around 2-3 months ago I started having anxiety/ panic attacks and have been dealing with the long list of symptoms that come with it.

Nice to meet all of you 🥰

hi! i have GAD and other issues with high anxiety. most of it is a direct effect of my PTSD but almost everyone in my family has it too 😅 nice to meet you!

I’m glad you found relief

Got formally diagnosed with GAD right before the start of Covid. Thank goodness! Starting daily medication changed my life. I no longer dry heave every morning before work or when I have to drive. Or wake up in the middle of the night to do dishes. I am still anxious, my dr said that’s just how I’m wired, I’m a worrywart. But it’s at a much more manageable level now.

Anxiety is the worst. My life has had a lot of trauma. But not now. I think my body is conditioned to be on high alert and it doesn’t know any other way.

👍 👍

Yes absolutely! I have a lot of trauma in my life but personally I think my panic disorder and GAD are attributed to a chemical imbalance. I used to get disabling panic attacks around 10 times a day to where it was difficult to leave home. I’ve been treated for 4 years now and never looked back at them 🤗

Hello! I have GAD and suffer from extreme anxiety especially health related anxiety. It feels like no one understands other than others who suffer from anxiety. I have been taking medication for years. I am currently taking Lexipro.
