Just feel awful

[Cyber-stan88]

Hi everyone.
I have GAD and I’ve really been struggling recently. The thing that gets me down the most is how ill I feel constantly. I just feel awful and it seems like it’s never ending. Does anyone else suffer with this? This in turn makes me more anxious and then I’m stuck in some crazy vicious circle that I have been unable to get my self out of for nearly 5 years now.
What else can I do????

My own thing to do when not feeling well, and thinking something might happen to me, is simply give in to it. I might lay on my bed. My way of saying ' hit me with all you've got '. Oddly nothing bad ever happens. Kind of a way of showing myself that it is just my anxiety. By giving into it I am kind of putting out a challenge to it. I am ready for all you can throw at me. Do this so many times and you oddly become used to the feelings. You know nothing bad will happen to you. Because it never has all the other times you have done the same thing. My odd ways. But if it works, I say it can't be wrong for me. I am not saying I am anxiety free. I still get some bad days. But I was far worse years ago.
