News of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Forum

Hey how is everyone doing, in 17 years old turning 18 in a few weeks.

Alright last summer i was the happist kid i had everything going for me i was captain of the basball team,I was working out everyday i had lost 50 pounds and put on some muscle. I was intenllegent, i didnt care what about what anyone thought about me at all. I had a girlfriend for 2 years my parents werent ...

I would like to get some opinions from whoever is willing to give one. I was told when I was a teenager that I was bi-polar. I was on prozac my doctor took me off of that because its side effects were increasing my symptoms (insomnia and lack of appetite). He then tried me on Lithum (I might have misspelled that) which made me shake so bad I almost dropped my tray while waitressing and ...

I have been suffering with anxiety for a while now and have found this to be good for taking the edge off my general anxiety. I've not been on it long but I'm experiencing very light but noticeable confusion.

Has anyone had any kind of strange effects through taking this ? It's not really a problem because as I said it generally helps me.

Thanks

Blair

I just wanna vent a little bit and go over my past and present difficulties. I won't go over the details of myself in this introduction, i just wanna tell my frustrations to people.

I don't wanna seem like a cry baby.. It's just i went to a SAD forum thinking i had that, and they said go to a therapist.. Easy for them to say! That really pisses me off when i get replies ...

This may sound like a stupid question, but what exactly happens during a panic attack? I mean i've read some of the medical descriptions and all but they are very general or don't seem quite like what happens to me. I never really thought I had them, just thought I was a little crazy(although every one is a little crazy I suppose), but a week ago or so a friend was describing to me how ...

For the past five-six weeks or so I've been feeling dizzy - pretty much all the time. Not a "true vertigo" but more a sense of imbalance - like wearing the wrong prescription glasses. I have also had other symptoms which have been much more "on and off" - nausea, feelings of intense pressure in my head and neck, tingling in right arm and leg, some muscle twitching, weakness and fatigue and severe loss of ...

Okay, so I'd bet a body part (just a small one, like a finger or toe) that I do have GAD. I think I've always had it, actually. See, a few months ago I had an anxiety attack that brought the ambulance to my house because I was hyperventilating so badly that I was paralyzed. I've had massive headaches my whole life with no explanation, and I'm the biggest worry-wort that I've ever met. And ...

:roll: How can anybody live in today's society and NOT have some kind of a disorder??? Between the media keeping everyone stirred up, horrendous headlines, and kooks stealing kids out of their homes and then killing them...if a person doesn't have any generalized anxiety disorder, you wonder about them. I pray for GOD to help the world, because we sure need it!!!

Hi, I am a 25 yr. old mother of 2, just yesterday I went to a psychologist for the first time and was given the GAD diagnosis. I feel like a pretty happy person overall, but have always dwelled on things. I don't have a fear of talking to people, but whenever I do I find myself analyzing a simple conversation over and over and wondering if I said the wrong things, and sounded stupid ...

Hi. I'm posting because I think I have GAD, and if I do, I don't know what to do about it. I never really thought about the possibility of an anxiety disorder causing all of the symptoms that I have. But a teacher of mine (I'm 14) who thinks I worry WAY too much about school was talking to me about dreams because she had had a weird one. When I said that I never ...
