Hey Everyone,
My cousin and I both suffer from GAD... to us its a great thing that neither of us are alone although our triggers and symptoms differ we can relate to eachother and pull eachother up when we fall...
It's only been 2 days since i found this site and already feeling loads better, although I realise that it will probably come back... I feel more confident in my ability to cope with it now that I have labled it and realise i do have a problem and its not just me.
Anyway back to my point.. My cousin and I are going to have GAD tattoos done... we're both into tattoos anyway but in this instance we've decided we're gonna design something wearable and have it tattooed so when ever we feel the anxiety taking a grip on us all we have to do is look at the tattoo as a reminder that its just Anxiety, its not real the thoughts are not true the emotions are just symptoms and that it will pass like it has every other time before.
Secondly it will serve as a reminder during the good times to appreciate every second while it lasts.
TO us it will be more special as we'll be GAD tattoo buddies lol
I realise this isn't for everyone but the idea can be transposed to suit others who wouldnt want a permanant mark perhaps they could have a necklace or id bracelette with the initials GAD or even a little card to place in your wallet that you can take out and look at when you feel yourself falling...
Peace and love to everyone...
