Hi everyone,
Id like to start of saying that im 24 years old - male. I was diagnosed with G.A.D 6 years ago and having problems since.
I dont take any medication currently but i have in the past. I dont self medicate or drink.
Lately, i have been experiencing a difficult period in my life. There are so many stressors that accompany adulthood.
Jobs, bills, girlfriend/wife, money.
I currently havent been employed for a while and unfortunately the wife has had to hold my weight for that time. I wish nothing more than to buckle up and find a job which is hard because of the economy but also because of my anxiety/mind.
I have the usual feelings of avoidance due to fear and such, but it feels like something more...something i fear more than the world external to me. I get overall feelings of blah and mopiness and confusion and depression. I also experience the fear and the possible situations i would encounter and i also fear the fact of something happening even though i know nothing will happen when i can get back into the workforce. I feel guilty and lost due to how my mind is working this.
Ive spent plenty of time pondering how to remedy this and i have come up with nothing.
Its almost like my mind and anxiety are hand in hand. I just feel absolutely insane so i just retreat into my safety zone.
Im scared of myself, being caught in your own mind is horrific. Im sure alot of you can relate.
If anyone is experiencing this, please come forward and share something with me.
Please.
