Nana, my former nanny, is suffering from general anxiety disorder. She worries about every little thing – dirty laundry, picnics, allowances, family gatherings… whatever. It’s not bad to get worried sometimes but she’s overdoing it. She worries too much. She always seems scared even if there’s nothing to be scared about. She’s also having problems with her health. She always feel dizzy and nauseous. Her head aches often and her heart always pound twice as fast. Please tell me the treatments for GAD. I really want to help Nana. I know it’s hard to live a life filled with tension and worries.

i’m16 and i’ve had anxiety for a few years. I can’t eat or sleep, my chest hurts my heart won’t stop beating, my limbs get numb, I have trouble breathing.
yes I take medicine but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Lately I’ve just got broken up with by my bf weeks passed and I finally got rid off him as a friend because he was making things difficult for me.

What are some things to do to get rid of it and calm down and sleep more peacefully?

Well la-di-da asked:


I’m 27 years old and am now starting to wonder if I need medication for my anxiety. I’ve had anxiety all my life, and have always been anti-medication as I wanted to believe that there were better alternatives such as therapy. But now I’ve noticed an increase in heart fluttering/palpitations, my hair is turning gray and falling out which I think is due to stress (already had my blood checked for other problems), and I’m in a stressful period in my life (laid off work, going back to school, taking care of my 2 year old, and getting married soon). If I do end up with medication, I’m wondering what the latest research says on which ones are the best? I wouldn’t say my anxiety is severe (I can usually talk myself out of a panic attack), but its probably more generalized (GAD). Any ideas?
Just wanted to add that I still think therapy is a good option, but may not be feasible right this moment, and I still may need medication. So my question is just related to the medication aspect….

How do I make this stop? I feel like I am going insane!

amor asked:


I have a bad anxiety problem. I have always been like this but now I think its starting to affect my heart. I haven’t been diagnosed with this problem but I know I have anxiety issues, for sure! Now, I don’t want xanax or any medication with millions of side affects. I want to do natural things to calm my nerves when I am agitated. Someone, help!
