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.
Do you worry about money? Do you worry about health, your family, work, charities, someone you know that is ill? If this is typical of you then it is probably a symptom of this disorder.
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 getting enough rest? So what if it's 9 pm and no one else is going to bed at that time? If you are tired and know that when you put your head on the pillow you will go to sleep then go to bed! Get a good nights sleep and the next day you will probably feel far more relaxed and get a lot more done.
