Hello All,
New to this forum but not to anxiety. Just have a quick question for anyone kind enough to answer.
I have quite severe GAD, have had it for five or so years. The good news is that its getting treated. I'm on mild anti-d's and soon doing a course of CBT. I was just wondering if any of you suffered/ suffer in the same as me. I often wake up feeling anxious, before a thought has hit my head. Its the same sometimes during the day, I just have the FEELING of anxiety. Sometimes it leads to anxious thoughts, did I piss so and so off, did I leave the oven on at home, stupid things like that which I know are irrational but I still think them. Other times I just FEEL anxious but my head has NOTHING to feel anxious about. Today I went for a six mile country walk on my own in beautiful countryside but I couldn't shake that anxious feeling off so it sort of ruined the walk. Some people seem to think that anxious thoughts lead to anxious feelings. I have anxious feelings before I have anxious thoughts. I can't get my head round this. Is it common?
Thanks, in advance
Marc
