re: Does anyone deal with generalized anxiety?

I used to, I think mine was more social anxiety but I know how you feel. Like you said I would just lay in bed and panic for no reason or be in public and panic. I took medication for a few years, then told my doctor one day I didn't want to take them anymore. I've been good since then, I learned that nothing was really that scary. I found that the best way for me to get better was to push myself to do things that terrified me. When it was over I felt better and it got easier each time. I still panic from time to time but it's getting less and less frequent. Take a few deep breaths and push through it. I also pray a lot. Good luck bro.
