Life is so tough sometimes...

I have GAD.

I don't know how to deal with it anymore.

I worry excessively about everything. Whether people like me. Whether my baby loves me. Whether my work is up to scratch. Whether I am a good mum. I worry, so much. It's not normal worry. It is debilitating, awful, irrational worry that stops me from getting anything done.

AIBU to feel like I'm cursed with this forever? I've had counselling, CBT, tried medication, talked to friends and family, my DH, tried meditation, mindfulness... everything.

Am I doomed forever to be mentally drained and anxiety riddled? I don't see the point in feeling like this all the time and feel like I'm only here to keep other people happy. I'm so sad and anxious.

Has anyone ever managed with GAD to have a normal, happy life?

Sorry, no advice really but wanted to let you know that I hear you. Anxiety is awful, however, mine always abates after a few days and will be connected to something specific. I do practice mindful breathing, sorry it doesn't help you. Have you ever tried acupuncture? I've had startling good results for another problem using it. Be kind to yourself x
