Hi
I'm Andrew. I've been suffering with GAD and depression for about a year now. Although my former Councillor believe that I've been suffering from a form of PTSD since 19.
Anyway my GAD has had a debilitating affect on my life. Due to my anger and frustration as well as my fear of uncertainty I lost the girl I loved and a lot of my friends. I've had to move area to be back with my family due to the fact that my obsessive thoughts were driving down a negative path that ultimately would have led me to suicide.
I still struggle daily and offer view the world in shades of grey without taking enjoyment from the things I once did. I also find my behaviour towards others to be mistrustful and that I'm constantly on the defensive which can lead to me appearing hostile to others.
Despite all this I still have a lot of people in my life who care about me and my hope is one day to tame this anxiety beast and hopefully find a woman who can both tolerate and understand me :-).
That's a bit about me and how my anxiety affects me.
Thanks
Andrew
