Anxiety

hi. i'am new here. just been diagnosed with G.A.D. it really sucks lately, but i think this is a good start. can't isolate, you know.   thanks for having me! K.

Just wanted to say hello! Hope everyone's having an anxiety-free weekend!

Hi There, I have just signed up on here - I hope everyone is ok! I just need some reassurance to know that Im not alone trapped inside my head!!! Im Sarah by the way!

hi,

my name is kevin. . i'm 21 and live in venice, california. i've been struggling with gad and dysthymia for 3 years and i'm seeking out anything that might be of help. a support group seems like a good idea, it helped when my father passed and i might as well try it with this.

i hope all is well. i mean, relatively, haha.

Just nice to know that someone else is out there!!  My family is sick of me.  I feel alone and misunderstood.  Good Luck to all of you who suffer with this!

 Hi...I'm new to the Tribe. I have been diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. I'm still learning how to deal with it. Hoping to meet people with the same issues. No one else seems to understand what I am going through. Feel free to contact me! Look forward to hearing from you all!

Hi, I'm new here.  I was diagnosed with GAD several years ago and have had a roller coaster ride ever since.  Right now I am coming out of a slump.

My biggest difficulty is being able to work.  I am a teacher and get a mental block when it comes to prep and grading.  I got into a serious hole this summer and am digging out of my pile of work.

I think my core issues are self-worth and intolerance of uncertainty. 

Hi im new here had gad now for 1 1/2 yeasr confirmed by a Doctor in Febuary this year some times its really bad other times it quiet good im not on medication but have been trying the herbal stuff from Bach its seeems to help or maybe i just think it does .

If i can help any1 i will anyway hope you are all doing well this weekend

Hello everyone....I've been diagnosed with depression, then PTSS, bi-polar, and the list goes on.  I have a new psych and for the first time GAD seems to fit.  I was severely abused as a child and my psych told me that my rage, shame, whatever would manifest itself in a number of ways.  I'm any of the above at any given time.........but for the most part, I'm just generally anxious.  Different things trigger it and sometimes I don't know the reason.  Confrontation scares me, seeing someone lose control really scares me, moodiness in other people make me feel like I'm in danger.  I just wish I could be the confident, together person everybody sees on the outside.  I've gotten really good at presenting the facade and ppl who do find out a little about my struggles are always surprised.  You know, it can really be lonely.  Glad to be here among friends,

I'm new here, and I have to say, it's such a relief to be here among people who I know understand. That's something distinctly lacking in my support network in real life; my boyfriend, family and friends try their best to understand, but when I'm breathless and panicking over finding a seat on a train, for example, they can't see why I don't just reason with myself.

So here I am. :)

My name's Lindsay, and I'm twenty-two. Be my friend! I'm here to learn something and take comfort from other people, so speak to me! :)

Hey everyone. I am like many others new to the tribe. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and some of the doctors think anxiety and depression goes along with that. After about a year of that I got tons betterm and did really well for several years. However, I am now in my final semester of nursing school and all of those feeling are coming back. Nursing school is actuall the reason I looked for a support group. It is an assignment we have to do, so I though I would pick one that I could relate with. Hope everyone is finding the help they need.  Cami
