So i have GAD and sometimes i can be ok and other times my fears can last weeks. Lately my abnormal fears have been about my cats. I keep having these fears that their sick or something is wrong when there is nothing wrong with them. Last year one of my cats got sick with a high fever and thankfully got better but now and than i will look at them and see something that makes me think their sick but in reality nothing is wrong with either of them. Sometimes iwhen i have these fears i want to lie on my couch and hide from the world. It's difficult to do my favorite things like watching anime or playing video games. Or my hobby of making jewelry. In 2012 my dad passed away and i was devastated. We were so close and he died so suddenly. I have had GAD most of my life i think but i wasn't diagnosed with it till 7 years ago. I feel like my my dad's death has made my GAD worse and that my fears have increased even more. I need help. I take medicine but it doesn't seem to help much. I need to know what i can do to stop myself from worrying and obsessing over these abnormal fears. Please can someone help?
