I have either GAD or Social Phobia
my psych is sure I have another form of anxiety along with my OCD
everyone else says “omg u just want attention so u say that u worry when u dont”
what the hell!!!
i have gad, i am on meds but i will also tell you that meditation works, specifically the sofeggio frequencies and binaural beats, they are available on here and in my playlists on my channel if anyone is interested. also, breathing in very deep to fill your diaphram and out very slowely. also realising that it is ok, you are not a freak or abnormal…hope this helps!
WHen I was a little as 7 or 8 is was misdiagnosed w/ocd and mild depression.I was put on and off many medications.Then when I was 9 i was diagnosed with GAD.Because of GAD and effects I only get about 5 hours of sleep a night,I am constantly afraid,I am failing school,and I can no longer continue with the things I like like origami because when I worry my palms swaet so much I can’t fold paper.I haven’t had any treatment yet of GAD.
hey ive suffered for YEARS .. im talking really suffered i mean ive been misdiagnosed sooo many times .. and not taken seriously i feel my life has been slipping away fast … everyday merges into the next full of the same anxietys .. its a nightmare .. i have severe depersonalisation and derealisation with panic attacks too .. anxiety , depression . ive been told i have borderline personality disorder which i believe i wouldnt have if my mental health was assesesd prop
I’ve had this problem for years. I can’t stop worrying. When I was about 14 I started having panic attacks, and physical symptoms that were unbearable. i also worry about keeping things in perfect order. If it’s not it bothers be a lot, and causes me heavy anxiety. Anxiety has robbed me of my life. I used to be the smartest in every class, and now I can barely make it to school. Life’s just very difficult. I wake up wishing that I were dead, so I don’t have to deal with this
I’m 35, and I’ve had GAD since I was about 20. It started up in college and quickly became a nonstop problem. Because it robs you of both emotional stability and mental clarity, it can severely interefere with your ability to function. GAD has cost me jobs and kept me from performing well as well in school as I could have otherwise. My heart goes out to everyone who struggles with this and other emotional disorders.
oh and thanks for making the video !!
i have GAD as well im 20 and i had it since i was like 9 !! or maybe it was something else but developed to be GAD later on im not surebut i feel i have been like this for all my life
i’m afraid of getting help
i hate GAD it prevented me from going to med school now i’m never going to be a doctor and i’m just stay a loser
I am 15 years old and I was diagnosed with this disorder ever since I was a kid. I quit taking medication after a year because it made things worse. I am relying on myself to conquer this disorder naturally. I fully intend on pursuing life the way I want to without having GAD get in the way. This will require tons of encouragement, confidence, family, and friends. Wish me good luck!
Stay strong.
I forgot to mention the other anti depressant drugs that I’ve also been given in the past such as prozac/gamanil/zispin/effexor all do nothing except mess your body up even more… I feel like I have been just given these things for ease when all it does is make you temporarily numb to your problems.
I have health anxiety bordering on general anxiety disorder. I have been given anti depressants (Citalopram Hydrobromide) for it and have just come off of them recently, I thought they weren’t helping but it appears they may have been
I have seen a counsellor and I am waiting for CBT… I was put on the waiting list years ago 
I have been on meds for about 10 years. I have never felt that they have worked, but others around me tell me they do. GAD has stopped me from becoming who I wanted to be. I was too worried and anxious to do the things I wanted and back tracked with my OCD just to make sure I was doing ok and that backfired on me.
It rules my personality and people pick up on that. I wish there was a cure, I don’t think psycho therapy works, it’s not the kind of thing you can out think. It thinks for you.
I’ve had anxiety for 5 years now. Still fighting it, have been in hospital even. Been having a lot of breathing problems lately. Went on paxil again so hope it helps..By the way I like the video nice job!
doctors told me i have a stress/anxiety disorder…which makes sense…but i feel like there are so amny disorders that characterize my symptoms, so i’m so lost on if everything is just stemming from potential GAD, or if this is all just something else…everytime i research some mood or anxiety disorder i think, this is the answer to what is wrong, but then i find something new and think is this it? does anyone else have this going on?
hey im in a very similar situation, message me if u wanna talk
I have GAD and have been on anti depressants for over a year and ive had counciling. Neither has worked
. If anyone has beaten this please tell me how because I dont see a light at the end of the tunnel. Its ruling my life 
i am only 20 and i have general anxiety and i guess some depression too. but it is crazy people please look for help…
Wonderful video. I am doing a presentation on the different types of anxiety next week and my group has learned about GAD, among other anxiety disorders.
Thank you for sharing this.
I suffer from this anxiety disorder also and I’m only 16. This anxiety is horrible to live with. Even the meds I’m on for it doesn’t help sometimes. Even if I get the littlest pain in my body it can make my anxiety go through the roof. I hate it but I still live with it and I hope one day I can others with it.
G.A.D. is horrible. I have known I have had it for about 7 years now, but after being diagnosed I now know I have had it all my life. Its paralyzing to say the least. It has cost me everything, jobs, girlfriends, my credit, you name it and it has affected it severely. Try getting treatment with no insurance…
I am taking abnormal psychology class, and tomorrow we are gotta learn about Anxiety Disorder, thanks for this video, it helpful:D
