Hello All,
Hope everyone is well :)
So I have officially been diagnosed with GAD...finally and it is nice to know that I am not a complete weirdo!
But I need some help or advice, I don't know how to deal with the severe anxiety I get especially about sticking to things be it jobs, relationships, cars, courses etc. It always seems to kick in when I think I am settled and it gets so bad that I cannot sleep properly as I know I have to do something to get rid of the fight or flight response and once I do it goes away.
I am learning to cope a bit better but sometimes its there for days and days and I just want to cry.
I am doing CBT & have started on sertraline (weaning off pregablin as well). I just want to feel normal although I know to me this is normal but I just wanted to know if people had any coping mechanisms, success stories or words of advice?
I would be most grateful!
