Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I was diagnosed today with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have all the symptoms, but luckily, have never suffered a panic attack. I cannot believe the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders! I have lived with this for many many years, and never had a name for it. Now, that I know what has been plaguing me, I can take the steps towards healing. It just so happens that my mother knows of this site, and she directed me here. She says that the site has been very helpful for her in the past. You'll probably hear from me alot, as I am very inquisitive. My main concern at the moment is the medication. All I am really looking for is something to help me eat, sleep, and calm down when the anxiety gets too bad. Other than that, I am working with my therapist to help with the behavioral aspects. I am sure I will be talking to my physician about the diff meds, but if anyone has any input on what may have worked best for them, or any other info, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Thank you all for being here, and I'm sure I will enjoy getting to know you.

Hello :-)
Some people do find it easier to get a name for their problems. It helps them feel less alone to know that there are other people out there with similar difficulties and there are other people out there who had similar difficulties who have gotten a lot better than they used to be.
You might want to post your medication question over on the main Babble board (which deals with medications). I don't know too much about meds.
Feel free to check out the social board if you want to chat or meet new people, and of course chat to the other newbies here as well.
Hope you like it here.
