Thank you everyone

Ygrec,
I have been diagnosed with GAD but I have a tendency to minimize my issues because I'm borderline perfectionist. And part of perfectionism = not having problems -GAD or issues to lead me into therapy. When I started down this road it was a specific situation that left me with no idea how to move on. Since then, my life has somewhat rebalanced back to "normal" for me. So since I don't have this dire issue (and a different T than when I had said crisis- I haven't told new one details yet) I'm back to convincing myself that everything is ok. If that situation never came up, I doubt I'd ever have found my way into therapy. Even though I believe I've had gad since I was young

And the whole anxiety leading to something more, that's a big thing of what I'm afraid of and therapy puts me in danger finding out if there is a bigger thing

Beautiful.mess,
I think that's another thing; I don't have a 3rd arm growing out of my stomach so therefore I'm fine. Of course that's exaggerating it but I appear "normal" most of the time
