i suffer from bad anxiety..im 26 now and it him me when i was like 17. Just laying in bed trying to sleep and my heart just started pounding..clammy hands..ect. It got to the point where i couldnt even be around my family..i was so uncomfortable..always on edge..no sleep..i still dont sleep..i couldnt even build up the courage to see a doctor. I still suffer today and now..i have seen a couple doctors..but my anxiety is still there..and its kicking my ass.
every thing you said is right on
Where are your from worldpar?
ruminate? ive never heard of that word but i have suspected that my repeated negative thoughts have contributed to my anxiety, i also talk to myself out loud a lot when no one else is around, often negative things, downer stuff…ya know…but i wouldnt be surprised if that has contributed greatly to my GAD, wow thanks for that insight
you’re doin everything RIGHT first of all! =) i just put up my first video today about my anxiety disorder. i believe connecting to those who have the same problem as you is a great step to take in getting better. i’m going to see a psychiatrist on wednesday and figure out EXACTLY what i have to do to get better…he’s supposed to be good, so i hope he is able to help me. good luck to you! and keep postin!
Thank you so much for your honesty about G.A.D. Hearing you has given me hope.
I’ve been self medicating for 18 years, not heavily- just to regulate myself, about 3 years ago I discovered why. Great GAD videos, one of few, great work. Knowledge, Understanding, and Patience works for me… sometimes.
This video has helped me so much, when i first got anxiety i used also drink beer to hide from it. i know what your saying.
Yeah, I do “ruminate” as you state takeo7228 it’s really hard not to. I have a special case I think cause I have never been married, still live at home with my parents, no steady job, it’s hard to put to words what I myself have done to be at this stage in life and blame it on G.A.D. not getting the help I should have gotten when I was younger maybe I would be married and have a family of my own. I do have mental illness on both sides of the family. But none if known with this only my sister.
I was dealing with attacks at least 10 times a day and they were getting worse every year until about a year ago I ended them in about 1 or 2 months. My attacks were caused by ruminating or basically continually thinking about something over and over again. It was almost an addiction. A therapist told me to try and control this. I was desperate and made the commitment and it worked. I am curious if any of you ruminate excessively? Also…I still live with distracting thoughts
“You are not alone” is the most comforting words sometimes for ME to hear. I don’t know about the rest of ya’ll but it soothes me to a point. But this G.A.D. is bad, I rather have a physical aliment than this.This is physical you are stopped dead in your tracks, can’t move, function, etc. I was the one that sought help years ago, and under-diagnosed as you said. I have had this all my life also. I realize I have missed so much and regret it due to this illness. Continued success in these videos.
I am always blown away that anyone has even bothered to watch my videos. Much less take the time to comment on them. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Praise from a fellow sufferer is the higest praise that can be had. “I boast in my suffering” if what I have been through can help even one person I am proud.
Again thank you,
worldpar
Thank you for your comment “Luci” as always your input is greatly respected.
Worldpar
I really appreciate your warmth, insight, honesty and down to earth understanding.
You seem to be a kind, caring and likable person with a good soul and eyes that have found wisdom in great suffering.
As an average American man, you speak directly to me and your videos are very helpful for me in understanding my own GAD disorder.
I think ultimately, as you may have found, whatever the material cause may be, this suffering is Gods mercy so that we may turn to Him.
Thanks again
another good one for anyone with this disorder
Thanks Johnsondkf. The truest statment I’ve ever heard is, “I’ll take any feeling but this one”! Keep the faith brother. It gets better!
Like my dad, and again you are right about the drugs. Anything to calm you down. Rings a big bell.
I have not heard of Mr. Ellis, but now that you have brought him to my attention I will certainly check out his book. I believe in using any tool to battle, as you said “this”. We should continue to try any source we can find to help give us the edge.
Yours is the proper attitude, that we all should have. That we will overcome this foe we battle. It can be beaten. We can win. And never give up. Thank you for your comment Drummer. Hang in, keep the faith, and I wish you the best of luck!
I’m reading a book called A Guide To Rational Living by psych Albert Ellis. I realize it’s just a book, but I am reading it with the attitude that I am going to overcome “this”.
