Introducing myself.....

[CDavid]

Hello! I a, new hear. I believe that I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am always worrying, but a lot of time It is buried deep in my mind and I don't even know that I am worrying. I lack energy, don't sleep,well and am always tired. I am hoping to try alternative therapies before medication. I am interested in yoga, meditation and acupuncture. I have been going for acupuncture for about a month.

That's a great start!! Sometimes it takes people months... even YEARS to finally decide to help themselves, so kudos to you for getting on the path now. All of the "treatments" that you've mentioned should help you in your journey to wrangling your anxiety issues. Have you also thought about trying talk therapy?? Lots of research supports that CBT (cognitive behaviorial therapy) can be a great tool in helping those with G.A.D. It might be something to add to your arsenal as well! I've only done a few sessions so far <my first attempt ever at therapy>, but if you're willing to be open with the therapist and yourself, positive change CAN happen. Best of luck!
