the chemical make up in your brain may be a factor ,brain chemicals such as serotonin or noradrenaline affect your mood and thinking. GAD may be associated with altered levels of these chemicals

Hi there Dream

Sorry to hear your have a bit of a blip at the moment hun. You don't say how long this blip has been going on or if you have been under more stress lately?

I don't suppose there is really a way of knowing whether our brain chemicals are low or not but if you have tried everything else it might be a good idea to speak to your doctors and discuss other options you may have like CBT perhaps.

Hope you feel better soon



Love Pinky
