[arielm]

when I was in high school, I'd get so anxious about missing the bus that I'd have the terrible urge to pee and then I'd go pee and get more anxious that I was going to miss the bus because I was peeing. I hated it.

I'm 22 and I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER and tests such as ECG, Chest X-Ray, and Blood work was performed. And was told I had GAD and my heartrate pushes to 100 bpm and with resting it can go back down but this is new and scary.

I have GAD, I haven't been clinically diagnosed with it, but all of these 100% apply to me, it ruins my everyday life. I could never sleep, and I often wake up with an anxiety attack.

[soniclovesamygirl]

Having GAD is horrible. Absolutely horrible. Unless I'm distracted, I'm constantly worrying about anything.
I've had breakdowns in school, at home, on field trips, with friends and family...
And about irrational things too. Disease and death for the most part.
There was one day where I had five panic attacks. It was so exhausting.

[krisscanlon]

GAD since forever. alcoholism too. today I obsess over my 2 kids being 19/17. wanting to go back in time. acceptance. also overly worried over health issues. bad day. meeting tonite. thankfully

[learningtofly]

I have GAD and I have irritability a lot. I snap at my parents, siblings, strangers, friends, and I cry often and I feel depressed and stressed a lot. I have constant worry and anxiety not like any other person. In fact, I feel like nobody will like this comment. But I have a therapist who helps me a lot and she's really nice. My anxiety is like a sneeze. I can't control it. It's like when somebody tells you to stop sneezing, it's like people telling you to calm down which I hate. I can't control my anxiety. I get distracted and I have trouble concentrating. I have unwanted thoughts, flashbacks, I zone out, and I have rushing thoughts.

I have GAD and OCD and I am only 13, and It's horrible and it I feel like dying.

[beautysweets]

I was diagnosed with GAD two years ago when I was 12, and I have many of these symptoms. I also was diagnosed with OCD, but it isn't as bad anymore as it was then. Still, I'm in high school now, and have had multiple breakdowns this week. Just always worrying about the simplest things can build up into a panic attack.

It's hard for me to swallow and my hands shake. Does this happen to anyone else?
