Often referred to ad GAD this is the genral anxiety disorder which is charaterized by persistant, excessive and unrealistic worry. If it is possible to worry about it, then people suffering from GAD will worry about it.
Money is a primary source of worry. Health comes in there too, am I sick? Work, oh my gosh, you worry about your job even when things are going well. Charities sometimes cause worry, do you give to this one or not? How much? You heard about someone you know that is sick so you spend time worrying about them. If this sounds like you then you may suffer from GAD.
Don't start worrying about the fact that you are "strange" or that no one else would understand your situation, there are 6.8 million audts (3.1%) of the audlt poplulation in the United States suffereing from this disorder in any given year. It doesn't all of a sudden appear, it comes on gradually and usually hits between childhood and middle age. The exact cause is not known but there is evidence showing that biological factors, life experiences, especially stressful situations and family background all play a part.
It isn't that this is something that can not be treated, it can. It may be with therapy that helps to identify, understand and modify thier behavior to change the way it affects them. It may take medication which works for some people. Others use relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, exercise and other alternative threatments to lower the stress level and even out the disorder.
Occasionally there are situations that those with anxiety disorder should just avoid. If you know that going to a certain place, event or group of people will raise your anxiety level then avoid it. Make plans to do something you enjoy. Surround yourself with people that are easy for you to communicate with and that make you laugh. Laughter is one of the best ways to relieve stress. If you don't find some things funny, that make you do the real belly laugh, find something that does! You will feel so much better, your life will be better and your anxiety will be reduced dramatically.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are tired, go to bed. Simple as that. Even if it is early in the evening but you know that the minute your head hits the pillow you will be asleep then go to bed. You will wake in the morning with more energy and better focus, ready to take on the day.
