GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER HELP ME PLZ?
Generalized anxiety disorder (or GAD) is characterized by excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. People with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder tend to always expect disaster and can’t stop worrying about health, money, family, work, or school. In people with GAD, the worry often is unrealistic or out of proportion for the situation. Daily life becomes a constant state of worry, fear, and dread. Eventually, the anxiety so dominates the person’s thinking that it interferes with daily functioning, including work, school, social activities, and relationships.GAD affects the way a person thinks, but the anxiety can lead to physical symptoms, as well. Symptoms of GAD can include:
Excessive, ongoing worry and tension
An unrealistic view of problems
Restlessness or a feeling of being "edgy"
Irritability
Muscle tension
Headaches
Sweating
Difficulty concentrating
Nausea
The need to go to the bathroom frequently
Tiredness
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Trembling
Being easily startled
In addition, people with GAD often have other anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias), suffer from depression, and/or abuse drugs or alcohol.

Well first of all, you should probably get diagnosed by a psychiatrist or at least make an appointment with one. Many people have generalized anxiety disorder, myself included. I went and talked to a therapist for awhile & that helped a little bit & i also take medication for it. In the last year i’ve really improved a lot. You might also be feeling depressed BECAUSE of your anxiety. It takes a lot of energy to worry about everything and to be constantly nervous. Also anxiety causes stress and that takes a lot out of use as well. That’s the only advice I have, hope it helped. All the best (:
only a therapist can diagnose you and give you the correct medicine if you need any. it sounds like depression,which you will need a therapist for and they can help you deal with stressors and the feelings you have.
