If you are suffering from GAD, general anxiety disorder, you probably want to know just what it is. If you are persistently, excessively and unrealistically worrying about things you probably have a case of this. Even those things that don't truly affect you are causing you stress then you need to consider the possibility of GAD.
What is the major source of General Anxiety Disorder? Money is one, Health another. How many times have you realized that you are spending more time worrying about money or your health and everyone else you know. Does it consume your thoughts? How about work? Are you constantly worrying about your job? Do you find yourself worrying about your job in all situations, even when you should be thinking of other things? Then you worry as to whether you are giving to the right charities, are you giving enough, too much? Someone you know is sick and you worry about them beyond the "normal" concern you should be showing. If this sounds like you, you may want to check with a physician to see if you are suffering from GAD.
You aren't alone in this. There are 6.8 million adults in the United States (3.1%) suffering from this on any given year. Gradual progression is typical and usually comes on from childhood to middle age. Although the exact cause is not known there is evidence showing the biological factors, life experiences, particularly stressful situations, and family background are all part of what is believed to be factors.
It isn't that this is something that can not be treated, it can. It may be with therapy that helps to identify, understand and modify thier behavior to change the way it affects them. It may take medication which works for some people. Others use relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, exercise and other alternative threatments to lower the stress level and even out the disorder.
Now, if you know that someplace you are supposed to go (or that you think you are supposed to attend) will cause you excessive stress then don't go. Avoid the situations that bring on the attacks if possible. Plan to do something you will enjoy instead. Find something that will make you laugh. Laugh hard and laugh loudly and you will feel so much better.
Are you getting enough rest? So what if it's 9 pm and no one else is going to bed at that time? If you are tired and know that when you put your head on the pillow you will go to sleep then go to bed! Get a good nights sleep and the next day you will probably feel far more relaxed and get a lot more done.
There are certain things that are a clue to the fact that you may be either suffering from or beginning to suffer from anxiety disorder. Here is a list of some of them: 1. Excessiv worry, occurring more days than not for at least 6 months. 2. Unreasonable worry about nearly everything. 3. Your inability to control worry 4. Restlessness, feeling keyed up or on edge often. 5. Being easily tired for no apparent reason. 6. Having problems concentrating. 7. Irritability? 8. Muscle tension. 9. Is your anxiety interfering with your daily life?
There are solutions, don't be afraid to reach out, read material that will assist you with getting a handle on it. Talk to someone that will be able to help. Remove yourself from stressful situations when possible. Know that you can lick this and then, do it. - 15224
