General Anxiety Disorder or GAD – It’s The PITS!
Anxiety, or GAD- General Anxiety Disorder, is absolutely terrible and you honestly feel as though you are having a heart attack, or even worse you are losing your mind and your heart flutters and is beating stronger and stronger, as you are sweating profusely and you feel as though you are losing all the sanity that you have left! It’s absolutley horrible!
When it is finally over you are so beat all you want to do is sleep and sleep as long as you can, I mean if you are sleeping you can’t have another panic attack. The worst of it is now you live in fear of it happening again and again. For some it is going out in public, the world starts to shrink and you can feel it closing in on you and you can’t breath and the hearts starts to beat a little faster and faster until it’s a full blown attack.
Some are terrified with public speaking and it all starts over and over again and again. This is a viscious cycle that just keeps getting worse.
Here’s the thing about the drugs to combat this. They are very addictive and are hard to get a Doctor to give them to you, but if worse comes to worse they will and this will help you tremendously.
Along with the medication you need to practice some relaxation as much as you possible can and try to stay calm in all situations. You may also need therapy as they will help you see what is triggering it all. I believe that with all three that you will find a great deal of satisfaction with the outcome!
And there are now, thank God, several different ‘natural or alternative’ type meds that do wonders.
