I want to meet people in my situation to see how they cope with it and to tell me its goin to be ok
I have GAD and want to find a way to deal with it.
Each day I try to get off this perpetual roller coaster, usually without any luck…it truly seems never ending! But, when I’m not sick I’m the life of the party, love to go dancing (my fave) and spend as much time as possible with my 9-year-old daughter.
I am a 50 year old woman living with Bipolar 2. Have been trying different meds for years now. Have not found one that works for me. They always have bad side effects or just don’t work. I would like to hear what works for others. I feel like I am in one of the lowest points of my life. I just want to feel good again without wanting to withdraw from everything like I do. If there is anyone here with Bipolar 2 please talk to me.
I suffer from GAD. Bummer.

I have been through a lot, as everyone has, but my situations has finally gotten the best of me. I smoke 3 packs of cigs a day and feel I no longer have control over any area of my life. No hope. I always try to make things better, to believe, but I have reached the end of the rope and I don’t know how to get back up. Any advice?
I have occasional anxiety, I try not to let it get the better of me. I’d like to learn techniques to help me deal with it more effectively.
I am bipolar and ocd. I have recently had to cut down on my meds. Because of Insurance reasons. and some personal. I also have a severe phobia of driving especially on the highway and freeways. I am severly depressed today because a person that was going to give me a ride, thinks I should just get over it.
i am 36 yrs. old and a father of two. I enjoy music, martial arts, and animals
I have had life long “battle” with anxiety. It comes and goes and I get very upset with myself that it happens. I know what it is how if affects me-it just upsets me that I know and yet it consumes me sometimes. You feel no one else understands and even that your Dr. thinks your are “neurotic.” I just want to know more about it and know other people that deal with this .

Very much a loner.
It all started last spring with a nasty sinius infection that lasted about 8 weeks. When antibiotic falled I recieved steriod shots and nose spray. This seemed to send me over the edge. I started having panic attacks and a fear of never getting better. I am a very healty and active 42 year old man and never have been really sick. So this really freaked me out.
I could not stop obsessing in my brain what was possibly wrong with me. When got a clean bill of health from an ENT and a full physical from my doctor I started to figure it out.
That’s when I was told I had GAD about a year ago. I have begun to accept that I am the problem. I have always been high strung and a need for perfection but never getting there. I have a very active mind that gets stuck on negative things. When I get worked up enough I get this light headed sensation and a feeling that I am losing control. I am teaching myself to deal with it, but I still hate it. I trained and ran a marathon in Oct. I figured if I ran enough miles that this anxiety would leave my head alone.
I was dissapointed that it didn’t
Been on several medications all which seem to have side effects on me. I hate taking medications. It’s like a negative reinforcement of telling myself something is wrong with me everytime I have to pop a pill. Doctors can’t force pills quick enough. Just keep taking your meds. They look at your like your crazy when you say you can’t wait till the point when your off them.
I do admit I am able to function alot better on them then without. I want to start looking forward to my day rather then just get through them.
It’s not something you can really explain to your friends and by now my wife and kids are sick of hearing about.
Anyway I’m sure someone reading this I hope can relate.
Just writing about seems to help.
I like to be active, but since my joints have been giving me such a hard time, I find it hard to even walk very much anymore. I lived at a ski resort for 3 years. I snowboarded in the winter and organized kids camps in the summer among other things. I just got my real estate license and hope that it goes well for me.

I suffer from horrific anxiety and panic attacks. I want to get off of klonopin and be anxiety free but don’t know how to do it. I need support
