Do i have GAD?
Question:
Answers:
It is very possible that you do. Here are some suggestions.
Coping with stress and anxiety includes the following steps:
* Laugh: Don't take your life so seriously. A sense of humor helps overcome worry by distracting the mind. Laughter may also produce endorphins, which help ease pain and offer a sense of relaxation and joy. Tell a joke, watch a comedy, and laugh when disaster strikes. You'll feel better with a smile on your face.
* Make plans: Worrying solves nothing. It cannot change situations or outcomes. The only way change comes about is through action. Instead of worrying, empower yourself by acting toward change. Worried about money? Create and implement a budget or seek professional financial counsel. Productivity creates an atmosphere of positive change that worry cannot achieve and makes overcoming anxiety possible.
* Herbs: There are several herbs one may use to help alleviate feelings of stress. Among them, Kava stands out. Kava enables the body to relax physically and mentally. Those with liver problems or Parkinson's disease should not use Kava. Adaptogenic herbs, such as the ginsengs and milk thistle are good herbs to consider. Adaptogens, or nerve tonics, help strengthen the body's resistance to stress. As always, follow the directions on the bottle and check with your doctor before beginning any herbal routine.
* Seek professional help: Having someone with whom you can discuss your worries may help lessen anxiety. A good counselor will listen attentively, enabling you to discover your underlying concerns. Together, you can create productive means of handling stress, so that you may heal emotionally and physically.
be simple.don,t think the things that might not be significant or important for your personal life.pray and ask for healing!
Do you have panic or anxiety attacks frequently? Does it feel likes it's taking over how you would normally react or think of certain things? Does it cause any other physical side effects?
These are all things to consider when trying to find out a diagnosis. The best way to go is to see your GP. He knows exactly what to look for.
I have GAD and it is more serious than people think. If you are unsure please see someone to help you control you worry.
Everyone gets worried sometimes, but if you have GAD, you stay worried, fear the worst will happen, and cannot relax. Sometimes you aren’t worried about anything special, but feel tense and worried all day long. You also have aches and pains for no reason and feel tired a lot.

Most of the time, being worried and nervous is an effect of unhealthy sleeping pattern. Were you able to sleep well? Are you getting at least 8 hours of sleep? Lack of sleep can cause anxiety and nervousness.
