News of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Forum

I take benzos for sleep and they make me relax quickly. Otherwise I usually play back memories in my head for hours. This seems to quiet the memories for insomnia but it affects my studying for school. Any suggestions?

Right now I feel very emotionless. It's like all my sensory experiences are covered by a thick layer of cloud. I can barely feel anything, including my own existence. I just feel that my sensory and emotional experiences are shut off. I do feel, however, that this slightly comes and goes in its severity. Could this be an OCD thing or is it caused by too much stress? Could it be brain fog?

So some backstory to understand this, I've been dealing with anxiety for almost a year now and one of the fears I'm currently working on is a fear of vomiting in public, and for the past few months I've been successful with it. I started manage my anxiety a lot better.
So last night I was finishing my homework, which I had a lot of and was doing last minute (I'm used to this kind ...

This happened a few times in high school, but is extremely rare nowadays. The other night, though, was when it happened again for the first time in a few years.

I've been feeling a never-ending surge of anxiety and depression this whole summer, and I couldn't get myself to talk to people about it. Not even my fiance. Then the other night, in the midst of worry over a situation, i let slip my suicidal ...

Not entirely sure of the title, so I'll try to explain it more here!

Lately, I've been experiencing a foggy feeling in my mind, almost like a blank brain? I know the thoughts are there, but they feel very distant - like I have to go fishing for them and purposely think about thinking in order to actually think. And even then, I can't really focus or have normal thoughts, like my thoughts are separate ...

I, for quite a while now, have been experiencing very regularly occurring intrusive thoughts. I literally have a stream of constant negative dialogue with myself inside my head. I jump from subject to subject about how people hate me, how I am ashamed of myself, horrible memories, terrible things I've done.. I experienced a lot of trauma this past year, and while I seem to be doing well externally, I cannot really focus on anything ...

Hello everyone!
My name is Albert! I’m 26 years old. And I need a help and advice.

For the last 5 months, I feel myself not so good and my condition is getting worse.
I'm feeling a huge unreasonable stress, anxiety, uncontrolled fear and obsessive suicidal thoughts.

Hey guys. I was normal and one day I was thinking deeply about our base core as humans. I started to think that deep underneath we are the same. It scared me because I thought that I was me. I now feel that we are all different conciousness but they resemble. Your face, your personality, your gender and everything is just an addition.
