This is my first time in these disscussion group and yours was the first one to come up, and I had to laugh, it sounds just like I myself made this post. Ive just been diagnosed with GAD and its amazing at how once you know WHY you are thinking the way you are thinking, does it start to sink in. I see alot more clearly now and dont feel like I have to be the *strong one now*
and I can breath sometimes easlier now for a longer period of time without the panic of it all going wrong once I do so.
But not to take on your post..... I will post new myself and introduce myself and all my thoughts to the rest of the forum.

Take Care
