I was just diagnosed with GAD yesterday. Ironically enough, I told my therapist the exact same words you mentioned in the video "I'm relieved." Thank you so much for this video. It feels good to know that I'm not the only one having these struggles. Best of luck to you!!
Best of luck to you as well! I am so glad to hear that this video made you feel less alone!
Thank you for sharing this! I used your video for a presentation in my Diagnosis class because hearing a Black man's experience with this disorder is essential. Thank you for your openness and vulnerability.
O wow!!! That means the world to me. Thank you so much! I really really appreciate you doing that. I’m glad you found this video helpful.
Great video my friend ur story is very related to mine. Im 35 and been struggling with this disorder my entire life with out knowing. Last week i was at the Psychologist and i was finally diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. I remmber when i was 18years old i had this horrible phobia of getting HIV and Cancer. I remmber doing 4 blood tests to ensure im safe. Doctors will asked me ? "" did u sleep with some whos got HIV"? I will answer no. I remember one of the doctors mentioned its u dont have an HIV problem u have an anxiety problem . Of course i Ignored him and continued on my life. A year later i started having muscle tension all over my upper body and neck. I went to Physiotherapy and took multiple MRIs and nohing was found. I struggled with Perfectionism and always Afraid to make mistakes. My biggest struggle is a fear of not sleeping or failing a sleep. The moment i will fall a sleep anxiety will wake me up. A month ago i didnt sleep for 3 days straight. I want to the doctor and he put me on sleeping pills. I will be seeing a psychiatrist veryy sooon and i hope i will endd this suffering
Ooof I hear you on all this. It can take over the mind and be persistent. I’m so glad that you’re listening to your body now and will seek further help from a therapist. In my case, it was a complete game changer for me.
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure and duty!
This is such an important conversation!
Thank you so much and I agree!
I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder yesterday, so I went looking for it and found your video. Thank you for sharing your story. Can you give me some advice that you have benefited from?
You’re so welcome and you’re definitely not alone. I have found that journaling and meditation have been really helpful for me. I use the breethe and bloom apps for my meditation.
