Help?

Sat, 2010-03-13 03:00 | by Anonymous

Hi-
I've never posted to a forum before, but I really think I may have an anxiety disorder. I don't really know what to do or where to start, but I know I want my life to be better. I know I want to be able to be calm and relax. Where do you start? Who do I contact?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Does it seem like more and more questions, not enough answers?

I think you need to research anxiety disorders on google.com and see if you have symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Phobia/Anxiety, etc. You can go to Amazon.com and buy self-help books on anxiety. They can educate you about what it is and how to get help for it. I would recommend seeing a therapist if you think it's serious. 40 million adults in America have an anxiety disorder and you shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it. You can look for support groups in your area as well. You can also go to your doctor and tell them your situation and have them refer you to a therapist.

I hope this helped you in any way.<3
