Hi everyone,
I'm a GAD sufferer, and for me the anxiety is around 24/7. Thankfully I am not getting panic attacks this time (this is my second time through this), but the general anxiety is still really annoying. I constantly feel tingly and dissociated... scared.
I've been doing much better since I found this site. I've been trying to deal with fears, not giving in to them, and remaining positive with myself. I'm also taking Vitamin B, and eating as much of a GI diet as I can.
It's only been a week and a half I know, but I was hoping for more progress by now. I'm much better at not freaking out now... most days I tell myself "Oh it's just anxiety, it'll go away eventually." (I have to tell myself like 100 times a day probably).
For some reason my anxiety is always highest in the morning. And this morning it's gotten me a bit down.
Is it right to kind of just be waiting? I told myself "It's like a scab. You can't expect to cut yourself and then heal instantly -- it takes time!" But is this true, or am I deluding myself?
Should I be seeing more progress by now?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim.
