Is this what GAD is? My friend got mad at me today for asking why she was anxious. Apparently she is anxious a lot of the time for no identifiable reason(s). I tried to tell her that I get anxious about stuff I'm thinking about and she said "I'm not you!"! She got really mad. I have had panic attacks before that have lasted hours- thinking my kids were dead. But to just be anxious out of nowhere? Is this generalized anxiety disorder? She has no diagnosis and won't see a pdoc. I dunno what you do for anxiety besides DBT or benzos which nobody will prescribe anymore anyway. Can anybody explain this? Btw, I have bipolar disorder so I definitely get anxiety.
