      I am like this, I feel like if I stop worrying, stop “paying attention” then I am being lazy, irresponsible, weak, like I will fall behind in life. I have major health anxieties and regularly think I’m imminently going to die. I know it’s nonsense but my brain and body still can’t stop going down this path.

      I do this when driving I put my music on loud as it calms me down then I spend all my time thinking if people in other cars will like my music or moving my rearview mirror because I think people are trying to spy on me through my own mirror haha. As far as going out I haven't been out in the evening since jan 2019 and can't take medication as it reacts with glaucoma pressure. I use to drink alcohol to take away the feelings it worked great since the age of 16-26 approx then I became hooked on alcohol. I am always beating myself up about chicken or the egg alcohol the cause or anxiety then alcohol to fix it. Eventually I got a proper assessment not from the makeshift general practitioner in house shrink. These assessments you have to demand to get them otherwise u get the twit at the doctors surgery "all the gear but no idea" and u end up ticking sheets of paper but life aint a tick on a piece of paper. The proper assessment I got the lady simply read my doctors notes from when I was 16 and she said clearly I drank to disguise the anxiety. I know this because my sister and nephew who don't drink have both been diagnosed with similar issues. It runs in families my sister is bi polar and nephew had a diagnosis for autism. I think personally they have gad as they act the same as me. We are all quite explosive so frightened we act with fight rather than flight. Christmas is fun , noooot :-) my best days are liveable my worse days I am highly suicidal , start selling my posesssions to pay for.my funeral then have to buy them back a few days later when I am.back in the land of the living. The biggest impact for me is actually my memory I can talk for England but struggle to take anything in. Different parts of the brain is the reason. Do you suffer mind fog? Did you use alcohol? Do you manage to work?

    I'm 75 and I have GAD and have been diagnosed with this 10yrs ago. I refuse to worry about anything anymore. My issues are overwhelming responsibility concerning keeping my house it's too much for me to deal with also toxic people mostly relatives. Well I'm going to sell my house and get all toxic people out of my life. At 75 I don't need to keep tolerating my situation when I can change it. Down size to Senior Apartment with less responsibility. And forget everything especially toxic people.
    I'm feeling better already. Thank You DR. It's the overload of responsibilities that's it wish me luck every one ❤

    My path to healing from GAD began when I recognized it as an abuse of the fight or flight response. My "obligation to worry" cited by Dr. Greenwood stemmed from my belief that I was obligated to fire a shot of adrenaline through my body in order to face my daily responsibilities. The fact is, the optimal long-term solution is to approach one's duties with calm intensity.

    This is a lightbulb moment. He breaks everything down so clearly.
    I worry about friends and check in frequently to make sure they're ok. If they don't respond to me quickly, if they haven't been online recently, if they've left me on read, if a message only goes through with one tick... my anxiety kicks in. When they say they're ok, it gives me short term relief and makes me feel more in control.
    In the long term, though, it actually makes things worse because I never prove to my brain that, actually, if I don't check in every day, nothing bad will happen. If they don't respond to a message, or aren't online all day, it's fine. Life will go on as normal.

    I do notice that I wanted everything I do, even the way that I react to my friends to be perfect and if it comes out wrong, I would ruminate and wished that I could just go back in time and redo it again. This has stopped ever since I started to understand the “flow state” and drinking more green tea as well as supplementing with L-Theanine. Almost all traces of anxiety went away but I won’t stop there until I finally am free from any worry of the past and future to the point that I can’t live in the present.

    I have suffered from GAD, major depression, and PTSD most of my life due to a traumatic childhood and later, abusive marriage. Pharmaceutical treatment with anything but benzos has been unsuccessful, and they are not a long-term solution. I haven't had much success with therapists either, unfortunately. I have been off anti-depressants and anxiolytics for almost a year, trying to tough it out on my own, and honestly losing hope of ever being free. This video is a light in the deepening darkness. Thank you, Dr. Vince, for sharing this information with people who may not have access to such a competent and caring therapist. You are saving lives.

    This man is a godsend, you think your alone when you have GAD (Diagnosed 3 years ago, been living like it since a child) but this is an accurate description of my daily life.
    Generalized anxiety disorder is a very controlling disease, i honestly have had suicidal thoughts to the point of scaring myself because i didn't feel at the thought of actually being dead. But we have to get ourselves out of these holes. Normalize conversation about mental illness, talk with your friends and family about it. Once you realize that there are more people out there like this than you would even know it gets easier.
    Everyone has their own journey to wellness, cannabis and CBD along with positive thinking habits have done leaps and bounds for myself. Exercise daily, even if its small steps. Get yourself back into positive thinking and positive situations.

      @@nelson850 Let me put it this way. I have GAD. Severe GAD for that fact.
      1. I wake up every morning with the feeling of fear in my body. That is throughout the whole day. I can't turn it off. It's the feeling when you worry or are scared of something. Even if I'm not worrying about something(really rare) then I still feel it.
      2. When I wake up the first thing I think of is the worry and I continue the worry I left yesterday.
      3. All worries are targeted at you. So you worry about all the possi le disease you may have and you start researching everything specific detail about every disease and go through your thoughts throughout your whole life incase you had the Symptoms. Also when I gave my friend muy phone once toy friend for 5 seconds. For a month I worried he downloaded an app that he could spy on me with. I reseted my phone 8 times and still worried about it. This is just one example of many thinga I worry about.
      3. When I eat I wash my hands 5 times usauly also use alcohol on my hands, hand sanatiser and then put on gloves that have been washed even when using a knife and thork just in case I catch a disease from my hands.
      4. anything you touch or do will trigger your brain to worry about the certain situation.
      5. You can worry about something for 1 month and in 1 second stop and worry about something completely different.
      6. You don't want to go out because you want to focus on your worry and research g about the disease or whatever you're worried about.

It's so hard to advocate for yourself in this condition. And to find helpful resourses

    Thank you so much for this. I have been dealing with Anxiety and Depression my whole life although I have been only diagnosed with GAD in the last 5 years. I have been in therapy now with a fantastic therapist who has given me plenty of tools although I still find it difficult to implement them. I have recently become the owner of a little pug who keeps me in the moment rather than ruminating about the future or the past.

      Try Propranolol that can be used for specific social anxiety events like public speaking and getting married in front of large or even small crowds. I use it for blood pressure and public speaking. Plus its NOT a psych med so no taking it and going through withdrawal like pschy meds do. Check it out. As long as you don't have low blood pressure because you would get dizzy if you do. But I honestly just felt tired when I first tried it.

    Progressive relaxation does not work on me, or it somewhat does, but there's always an immediate bounce back. I really don't worry or feel apprehensive about anything, I feel reasonably confident and I'm even a singer. My anxiety problem is buried deep in my subconcious mind and I don't know what might take to correct it. Probably the love and reassurances of a understanding woman, but I've never been lucky enough to have one. My mother Betty alienated me and wanted no personal involvements with me. Doubtless this is part of my anxiety problem

      Your last statement is the first one you need to challenge. So happy for you and your kiddos that you are open to CBT and acknowledging that GAD is happening. My mom won't do either of these so us kids often see her as a caricature not her true self as this chicken little persona overwhelms her real self. So the sooner you get going on this the greater the likelihood of having better, more genuine relationships, too.

Do you know how many ways its physically diagnosable its ridiculous. And your article you didnt link shit. Completely irrelevant.
