Hello everyone,

I am a 26 year old male lawyer doing a Laws Masters in Vienna, Austria.

I suffer from GAD and Panic Attacks but I am making a lot of progress in this feel to get better. I was on medications for about 9 months and almost 2 months medication free.

I would love to make new friendships with people that has this same problems because it is hard to get other people to understand what we are going through. Please feel free to drop a line here or at my email address, it is shown on my profile.

Looking forward to meet some of you :)

Hi Wien

Good to meet you and welcome to healingwell. You are not alone and will meet a lot of people here who will be able to relate to what you are going through with your GAD. I have GAD and do take medication but would love to not take any but at the moment my life is a bit crazy so maybe when things settle down I will try and wean off some of the medications.

Keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and im sure some others will be along soon to say hello.

Hi Wien, This is a great site everyone is very understanding to anxiety/panic disorders. Its good to hear from someone who has made so much progress. I have been on medication for a little over a month now for anxiety/ panic attacks. I am going through getting my dose increased right now. I have found that people although they may not understand completely what we go through will be very respectful to how you feel if your open and honest with them. Just remember everyone has a little bit of anxiety, even if you have more its still the same emotion.

 Welcome, I am new to this site also and I know that you will find some good friends here.  Glad to hear that you are off of medication, I don't think I will ever get to the point that I don't have to take it.  I have taken it so long that I am now dependant on it.  Had I known this could happen I would never have taken the first pill.  The doctor didn't tell me.
