I've been living with GAD all my life and its only just recently that I had a psych put a name on it for me! All through my childhood up till now I wondered why I struggled with life and tried to cover up the fact by avoiding situations and life!
I'm at a point in my life where my parents are elderly and my mother is dying from end-stage emphysema . It's like the only people who accepted me for who I am will no longer be there and it frightens me so very much. An so very drained and depressed as I'm tired of the facade of 'playing the game if life' - it's so hard.
How do people cope with this anxiety disorder??
I'm now 50 and still feel as vulnerable as I did when I was 10!
I won't drone on as you get the drift.
I have a HSE sssesment Fri as I'm broke following hit and miss private psych visits. Can't work at the moment, can hardly get out of bed.
Is this my life??
