Yes, you heard it before: I am new!
Background: I have had GAD for about 13 years. It was only diagnosed for 6. It sucks. Triggered by an terminal illness from dad as far as I can tell. I always felt that the moment of his passing was always imminent. Yet, since he died (I was there and also dealt w/ 4 other deaths and my best friend off doing drugs) I am not worried over the things I used to be. Now all the worry I had for him has transferred into one main theme: major life decisions and failure. I don't want to fail or cause others to fail in some way. This is very hard especially when my personal beliefs sometimes come into conflict with my professional duties. That is why I am up at 2:30 a.m. Fretting over yet another decision. So, to help myself, I've decided to post a positive. I am very fortunate to have loving family who try to understand. What is something positive you have?
