Do you sometimes worry so much that it interferes with your daily activities? Are you haunted by fearful thoughts? Have you become so anxious that you can hardly remember your former self? Overwhelming worry is a common symptom of generalized anxiety disorder, also known as GAD.
When you suffer from generalized anxiety disorder it can feel difficult, or even impossible, not to worry all the time. Worry seems to follow you around like a mind virus. ("I wish I didn't have to leave the house tonight." "I can't deal with going out tonight." "What if I start feeling sick today as well?")
Being easily startled, having a hard time falling or staying asleep may be other symptoms. As well as problems concentrating, feeling tense, restless and out of breath. Anxiety can also manifest itself in the form of headaches, nausea and excessively irritable.
The signs and symptoms of general anxiety disorder tend to appear gradually over time. Usually it begins to make it first appearance sometime between childhood and middle age. But it can also happen at any time.
Some of the people who suffer from GAD can't remember the last time they felt relaxed or at ease.
There are many different types of anxiety disorders. Generalized anxiety disorder is only one of them. Examples of others are obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
One distinction that can be useful to know is that anxiety disorders can occur on their own, without any other health concerns. It can of course also be a symptom of many health conditions, for example lung or heart disease. It can help you reduce or better manage the anxiety if you treat the underlying condition.
In the cases where anxiety is the primary issue, psychotherapy and medications can assist you making the stress more manageable. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication can also help you.
But if you don't feel comfortable taking drugs and living with the side effects they may cause there is a completely natural, medication-free alternative to get rid of all of your anxiety, quickly and effectively...
That alternative is to use the One Move Technique taught by Joe Barry, creator of Panic Away, a program that has successfully helped over 34,000 people from 30 different countries end their anxiety for good. To check out a short video review go to:
