Hi my name is Yolanda and I have generalized anxiety disorder. I've tried many different medications and they all seem to make my symptoms worse. I hope to gain additional support from this community along with tips on how to manage my anxiety.

Yes me too it's hard dealing with this I don't want to take meds because they make me feel worse so I been dealing wit this on my own these anxiety symptoms are killing me
Hi Yolanda. My name is Brooke. I've struggled with the same. Anxiety is very real &it can drain the life out of us. I've tried many different antidepressants, I finally found the one that works for me and the right dose. I encourage you to be patient about finding the right medication bc there are so many out there but sometimes only one will work for you &that's ok. Also find a good, compassionate doctor. I also encourage you to take life's moments one deep breath at a time and try to remain calm. Remember that the things that make us anxious are going to be ok. I hope this helps.
Hi Brooke, thank you for those words of encouragement. Today was an okay day. Loneliness is what I struggle with the most. It is hard for me to get out and meet new people because I am so introverted. I worry that I am going to be alone forever.
Well, this website is a good start it makes me feel connected to people but safe from anxiety bc it's not an actual social interaction face to face.
Agreed! I'm getting more support from strangers (no offense) than my actual friends. When I tell my friends how I'm doing and what Im going through they get silent and don't contact me as much as they used too.
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder as well and quit taking my medications because I feel they make my symptoms worse but feel like no one, including my own Physician, will listen. I also feel nauseous while on my meds.
