I have been diagnosed with a GAD, I take clonazepam .5 MG 2 times a day as needed for anxiety. I find myself not having to take it but once if I stay close to home or just gone for a few min. But if I get far away from home I have to take my own car so I can leave early because every time I get to the point where I can't stand to be out in public for more than a few hours, especially if it is far away. I have done almost every job you can think of, but when I go to work it is like I want to shake and just go home. I can't keep a steady job anymore. Can Someone out there help me? Maybe some advice or personal experiences?

Hi Chris

Welcome to the forum I am pleased you have found us you will find good support here.

Sorry to hear of your GAD diagnosis a lot of us here myself included have the same diagnosis so you are in good company and not alone.

I know exactlly what you mean by taking your car as I do the same thing as I also have Social Anxiety so like to know if things get to much I can get in my car and drive home.

The good news is lots can be done to help with anxiety such as taking medication or doing some talking therapy such as CBT which is very effective maybe you could speak with your doctor about getting a referral.

In the meantime have a look at our resources thread which is the first post on the main page for some useful links to self help guides and keep posting here so we can support you.

Thanks for the warm welcome! It seems like I need to take it all one day at a time. I just happen to be the so called "chosen one" in my family. It seems like every time something happens it comes to me to either be blamed/take care of or fix it.
