A month ago, I couldn’t even imagine this free and happy current me. And I believe this post is for everyone who needs help with GAD.

I’ve been living with generalized anxiety disorder for too long. And at first, I didn’t really recognize it. I had some strange signs I thought were normal (worrying, troubles with concentration, tiredness, sleep problems…etc.). I just thought everyone experiences the same, and being worried or irritated is usual. But my state became worse very rapidly, just after the troubles at work and stresses in my personal life.

In addition to the mentioned above, I started to experience muscle tension and rapid heartbeat.. I was worried about just any aspect or event in my life. It seemed I was losing my mind.

I figured out that this couldn’t go in like this, something was wrong with me. The worst thing is that there was no person to talk about my feelings and state in general. So, a month ago, I decided to start online therapy (the platform’s name is Calmerry). I was new to the therapy, let alone online.

At first, I was so nervous not to meet the right psychologist there. But the platform I chose matched me with, honestly, an ideal (!) therapist at once. 

My therapist is the first person to whom I freely opened all my feelings and worries. She knows what and when to ask and can read between the lines) I’m feeling more understood and calm. I’ve learned a lot from her and, finally, can cope with anxiety. I’m not drowning in stress anymore. It’s just the start, and I’m so inspired to get better every day, saying goodbye to GAD!:)

I know how unbearable it can be. I hope my story will inspire someone with the same problems to get a grip, try therapy, and stop suffering from anxiety!
