I have GAD, which is short for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have never been diagnosed: my mother calls it Paranoia, and my father doesn’t call it anything.
I worry about everything. About nothing. I can’t stop it. I want to.
I have tried therapy, but it is too hard for me. I am too introspective and feel the need to justify everything I think or do. I don’t want anyone to judge me. And so I never got anything from therapy. Whenever I talk to my boyfriend he just reminds me that I have an anxiety disorder. And my friends all push me to the therapist. No one wants to hear me talk. No one listens.
I am so alone.
I am worrying right now that none of you will understand.
I have reached the end of my rope. I don’t know what I should do.

People worry all the time, even if they don’t want to. However, often times half of the worries aren’t necessary. Be brave, and try talking to your father or mother, and really tell them what you feel. Let your feelings out. Cry if you feel like it. Show them your distress, and I’m sure they will try to help.
If they don’t, there’s always this site… There are people willing to listen and help here.
I know exactly the feelings your going through. well maybe not exactly but Im a great listener and Im going through the same thing…G.A.P. I’m having the same problem with therapy. maybe if we talked we could help each other out.
well, i know how you feel…..i worry about like everything, i dont think i have the disorder….but no one understands me either, no one listens to me because they think theres something wrong with me…..you can talk to me, i only listen unless asked otherwise 🙂 theres hope.
