Hey all,

Well I am 25 years old, male. I have a good job, good life, and a very supporting mother. I enjoy working out (workout everyday), dance clubs, food, video games to name a few.

My anxiety progressively got worse over the years/days to where it was a struggle to get through the day and I was eating to make myself feel better all the time. I was recently diagnosed with anxiety disorder and I have my first therapy session this thursday. I have been anxious my whole life. A mole being skin cancer, a cold sore being herpes, a cut giving me aids, watching a horror movie and being anxious that the horror guy would get me at night. Binge eating, binge drinking, handwashing...I am sure many can relate to this.

I'm on here to meet others and for support!

Hey,
I can relate too some of your symptoms and situation
I'm 21 have a beautiful baby girl a loving fiancé and a dog that is my life lol
I have gad anxiety for three years I used too be so fearless wanting to do everything and try anything I could. now my life us riddled with self doubt and fear and I get so paranoid like you with the movies I watch something then instantly think it could happen too me
My fear is not being able to get out of a situation I don't like, like busses cars big crowds and anything constricting in general
Any way I found that pushing your self too do the things you don't like helps and when you do start too feel anxious tight throat sweating shaking fast breathing tell it in your mind too get worse and really try too hurt you and your brain clicks that it's doing it and your not in physical danger well it works for me you should try it takes a while to get used too
Hope you feel better soon anxiety has stopped me living my life for three long years and I'm sick of it

Are you taking any meds? I feel like you, except I have been dealing with GAD for about 6 years now. It's been getting progressively worse, so I've started taking meds ( buspar and Zoloft) and going to see a therapist. I wish u well, try to do things with your family that will distract you from your worries, even if just for a little while. I have 2 little kids and a husband who need me to get better from this, so I'm working really hard to do that. pM me anytime!
