Gad is a general anxiety disorder term referring to those suffering from persistent, excessive and unrealistic worry. People that worry about everything, whether it is actually something they should be worried about or just something they think they should worry about. It is typical for GAD to affect those that realize there is something wrong but don't know what the problem is.
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.
You aren't alone in this. There are 6.8 million adults in the United States (3.1%) suffering from this on any given year. Gradual progression is typical and usually comes on from childhood to middle age. Although the exact cause is not known there is evidence showing the biological factors, life experiences, particularly stressful situations, and family background are all part of what is believed to be factors.
General Anxiety Disorder is treatable. You may need to see a physician for medication but there are other avenues to follow too. Try meditation, yoga, exercise; work on relaxation techniques that will help you level out your stress level. Get your mind around them and they will help a great deal.
Now, if you know that someplace you are supposed to go (or that you think you are supposed to attend) will cause you excessive stress then don't go. Avoid the situations that bring on the attacks if possible. Plan to do something you will enjoy instead. Find something that will make you laugh. Laugh hard and laugh loudly and you will feel so much better.
Are you tired? Then go to bed. How simple is that? Maybe the rest of your family or friends don't need as much rest on a given day as you do, but if you are tired and you know that when your head hits the pillow you will be asleep, then go to bed. That's not difficult, it's common sense. You will wake up the next day more refreshed and ready to take on the day without worrying nearly as much.
