What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder? (GAD)

in anxiety •  7 years ago 

This is another small blog, where I will explain more about GAD, and more importantly, explain my experiences with this mental disorder. I know a lot of you probably do not like to read but get over it if you want information. A lot of YouTube videos, that claim to give information about this mental illness are 100% wrong and they always will be. Everyone's anxiety is different and will never be the same. If you have not seen my old blog about this topic, do not worry, I will explain that and more in this blog.

Anyway, Hello again! My name is Brandon, I have been suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder for 3 years. IT'S NOT EASY, even today when i woke up i went straight into a panic attack and wanted to get sick. GAD for me is a constant problem and it has lead to me being stuck in my home almost 24-7, i sometimes check the mail but since it is very cold right now in the middle of winter.. GOOD LUCK ME. I have daily symptoms of Nausea, Shortness of Breath, Cold Sweats, Stomach Pains, Headaches, Digestive Problems and I find myself short tempered. It is an emotional struggle for me. Some days I can be okay and just chill around the house, other days I'm curled up in my bed crying because my life is going nowhere. Just thinking about certain situations makes me nauseated. GAD affects 9% of the whole world, and that may not seem like much, but it is. GAD is something i would not even wish upon my worst enemy. A lot of the causes of this disorder are from basically just bottling stuff up until it breaks free, or backing out of things that cause you fear. The second you back out of something due to fear, the anxiety wins and will only get worse. This is something that hundreds and thousands are dealing with right now, and they are unable to get help. Anyway i feel this is a lot of stuff to take in, i will leave it at this. If you want me to write more, or you have questions, let me know in the comments.
