Hi All

Sometimes I just get sick to the teeth of having GAD it can really be a pain and difficult to live with. I have been feeling not to bad this last month or so until last night out of the blue and no reason I can think of I was struck like a bat over the head with fear and anxiety which has mad me feel very paranoid today.

My mind is off on one and I feel lost in the racing paranoid thoughts in short it sucks. What I have accepted in recent years is that I will have these set backs as it comes with the condition and that I will feel better. It is like walking a tightrope you either fall of or focus and make it to the other side which is what I will need to do.

It does help to wright things down and gets things of your chest and that is why I like this forum so much. Anyway that's my rant over I think I will go and stick my mindfulness cd on and see if that helps.

hibee, i certainly know the ups and downs you're talking about. i was feeling pretty "up" at the beginning of this week, but now starting to feel more "down." when i reflect, i know that i have over-done it this week...had too much i wanted to get done and haven't rested/slept enough. today, i am going to follow your lead and do what i know usually works to help me feel better.

hoping you've found at least a bit of relief!

I hate when you feel like you've got the thing beat and then you have a bad day. Oh, I hate that. It is so frustrating.


Hope you are feeling better!!!!!!

So its natural to have fearing racing thoughts about yourself when you have that disorder?

Sending lots of encouragement your way B!!! I am sure that with a little help from your mindfullness c.d. and some rest, these feelings will pass very soon.

It could have to do with the vacation and the disruption in your schedule catching up with you, so it is most likely short lived!:)

Know that we are all here for you, and feel better soon.:)

S.C.
