How can I deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

I just discovered I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I don’t know what to do. I have fatigue and my body hurts all day long. I’m very shy and have no friends and get mad very easily. I feel really depressed and feel alone. I heard that I need to exercise more often and try a relaxing activity like yoga. But what else can I do? How long will it take for me to heal? I’m 15 years old.

First off, if you really want to get better, you can start by trying the advice you’ve already been given. There is no magical cure for GAD or overnight fix. You are young, so I can understand you impatience and wanting a quick fix. But the longer you search for one–the longer you will be putting off what really works.

There are also other tools to help besides medication. Since you don’t have a specific phobia, it’s harder to pinpoint a trigger. However, anxiety feeds anxiety. You should try to identify negative thinking trends and focus on dismissing negative thought. You can, I know because I have along with a countless number of other people.

It takes commitment to getting better. Do searches on positive affirmations and RBT.

The most important thing is to commit yourself to change and understand that it will take time. Don’t waste your time looking for quick fixes–some work–such as medications, but it’s not a permanent solution and you will become dependent if you don’t address your core issues. You have an opportunity to change the direction of the rest of your life. Put in the work now so you won’t regret it later.
