I remember when I had generalized anxiety disorder. I had it for years and I wasn’t aware of how bad it was. I was on lexapro at the time. And I remember one time I was so stressed out from all the worrying. I would always be tired like all the time. Everyday felt like a new day to worry. And I remember people saying “you always have something wrong with you” or “there’s always something you’re upset about” and it was because GAD was taking over my life. A few years later I remember I just started crying to my sister cuz we were having a conversation and she was judging me about something. I can’t remember exactly what the conversation was about but anyways, I remember I just broke down and started crying and I told her “I’m so tired I can’t do this anymore” and I felt like I just wanted to give up. GAD was winning over me and I felt so drained and tired. That was when I told the doctor a few months or weeks later that I needed a medication change and he changed it to cymbalta. And in a matter of weeks my anxiety disorder had faded. I still worry yes, but not to an extreme extent. I have way better control over it now. So the moral of the story is, if you feel as though your worrying is winning over your life, talk to your doctor. It’s never too late. They can help you heal, god bless everyone 💖
The torment of Depression/Anxiety can cause life to be a burden and not worth living. I will be 80 this year and I have had this terrible disease for my entire life.
That used to happen to me all the time. Gladly I don’t have to deal with it anymore. Uncertainty is a bitch. I hated being uncertain it would raise my anxiety higher. I do say it still happens today but not to an extreme extent like before
Thank you so much for detailed info. I overthink too much and people don't understand what I want to express which leads to conflicts and again I think about that conflicts ,this loop continuos . So couple of days back got sore throat and started googling for the Symptoms like Neck pain , ear pain , below jaw bone pain, feeling something stuck in throat . Google results are astonishing which will make any one go into crazy mode. Since I overthink too much started googling all symptoms and reached to this one keyword globus sensation which lead me to this wonderful video. Thank you. Will practice meditation everyday

I can't afford counseling fees or cbt in my country nowadays but I want to help my kid
Hello Maha. Thank you for your question. If you are based in the UK I would suggest you see your GP and ask for a referral to the NHS child counselling service which is free of charge. Wishing you well.
@@LewisPsychology thanks for your response... unfortunately I am Not based in uk.. but can i change my daughter castrophizing or could castrophizing begone and replace positive thinking instead??
Hi I'm having physical symptoms of anxiety Chest pain Tingling sensations in feet and hands My Dr advised me to get a vit test and I'm deficient in vit d ... Since I am taking the vit supplements my tingling has vanished and my chest pain has reduced drastically..... I was so happy But since few days I'm shortness of breath and lump in the throat sensation.... Luckily my chest pain and tingling is reducing everyday... Should I take meds? Will there be a relapse of the symptoms, especially physical symptoms if I stop the meds after feeling better? These two fears are scaring me and preventing me to go to the psychatrist and take meds... Also I take counselling since 2 years as I had problems at school and at home... I recovered nicely but idk what has happened to me since 2 months
Thanks for your comment. I would suggest you try psychological therapy. There are lots of psychological models so I you may want to take a look at my channel and see which approach resonates with you. Best wishes, Teresa.

Hello Nik, please do not give up. I suggest you see your GP and ask for a referral to a counsellor or psychologist. I do hope this helps. Wishing you well.

I’m really sorry to hear that. Depression really is awful. Sending you my warmest wishes, Teresa 🌸
Discomfort with uncertainty... I do that! Perfectionism... I do that! Omg.... All of those bullet points!

Hi I'm having physical symptoms of anxiety
Chest pain
Tingling sensations in feet and hands
My Dr advised me to get a vit test and I'm deficient in vit d ... Since I am taking the vit supplements my tingling has vanished and my chest pain has reduced drastically..... I was so happy
But since few days I'm shortness of breath and lump in the throat sensation....
Luckily my chest pain and tingling is reducing everyday...
Should I take meds? Will there be a relapse of the symptoms, especially physical symptoms if I stop the meds after feeling better? These two fears are scaring me and preventing me to go to the psychatrist and take meds...
Also I take counselling since 2 years as I had problems at school and at home... I recovered nicely but idk what has happened to me since 2 months
I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. I'm not qualified to provide advice regarding medication. I wish you well.
