Thankyou.
No problem man. A long time ago I used to always do these stupid rituals like aligning objects and I didn't know why. But I lost sleep over it so I did some research. I found that it was a condition called OCD, I told my parents and they sent me to the doctor. The doctor basically told me it wasn't that serious and to gtfo and fix it myself lol. So I went home and did exactly what he said and now it doesn't bother me anymore. I still perform some of my rituals when I get tired but it in no way interferes with my life.
You are an idiot dude, seriously. Everyone worries but not to the extent that it interferes with your daily life and activities. The OP says that when he was on winter break he couldn't enjoy himself because he was worrying about school. Any normal person would just enjoy break and be glad that school is over for a couple of weeks.
But to the OP, try to overcome this mentally. If you are a strong minded person, this shouldn't be a problem. If that doesn't work, then go see a doctor and he will help you overcome it or prescribe you some meds if it really is that serious. But really try to do this by yourself first, meds should be your LAST option.
LIFE
LIFE is defined as "excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events. People with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder tend to always expect disaster and can't stop worrying about health, money, family, work or school. In people with LIFE, the worry often is unrealistic or out of proportion for the situation. Daily life becomes a constant state of worry, fear and dread. Eventually, the anxiety so dominates the person's thinking that it interferes with daily functioning, including work, school, social activities and relationships."
Pisses me off how everyone thinks any little problem is some sort of disorder.
I don't know how I could possibly fix this though. I can't calm myself down or stop worrying. It's a constant fealing that doesn't go away.
im going to have to agree with you 100% my gf's bro docs claim he has add and hyper he smokes a joint hes fine, people with emotional stress and all this anxiety bs is crap
man up and be normal only the people u see who have these disordersare your typical
everyday loner or something like fuck
Try looking up statistics. Like for when you said you thought a car driving by would be a drive by, look at how often drive by's happen. Also, try to exercise more to release that tension you have. But I just read here that to be diagnosed with GAD you have to be having the symptoms for more than 6 months, so if this just started then there is a high chance that it might just go away in a couple of months, but if not then go to the doctor.
In 4-5 years you would be showing advanced signs of GAD...
And what would advanced signs be?
I suppose a person suffering from an advanced will suffer nearly almost all the symptoms of GAD. On a daily basis, how often do you feel dread and anxiety?
Pretty much from when I wake up to when I fall asleep, even as I type this my stomache has that butterfly fealing.
I am no doctor but i have to say dude, it seems like you have the advanced case. I don't want to panic you but i think you need to see a therapist/psychiatrist. They will help you to understand and cope with your disorder and hopefully in time, control it.
Alright, I'll talk to my parents. Thanks.
