I am 56 , have had GAD since I was 18... started meds at 31 to help , prozac the last 15 years paxil 40mg and occassionally 1mg Ativan. I am married , 1 27 year old beautiful daughter , I have had some pretty stressful situations over the last 10 years , in my life . Coping isn;t always easy , but I guess I am stronger than I think. But sometimes I am very tired. I would just like to have some support , someone to talk to on a bad day , someone who understands what it feels like to have GAD.. and to reassure me that I will be okay , that there is still a chance to have some peace , joy .. that there may be some joy ahead. I work full time and always have. Somedays were Academy award days lol... Anyway just hoping I can have someone who understands .. thanks Donna
