Hi there, 

Let me just start by saying that I was always an anxious individual. 

Although, a bit more than a year ago, I started feeling anxious all the time with various symptoms like loads of adrenaline, churning stomach, dizziness, dp/dr, brain fog, lots of intrusive thoughts etc. I was terrified of how I felt, thought I was slowly drifting into madness.

Problem is that GAD is supposed to be constant, for me it's more like every couple of weeks, I get into that state where it really feels like GAD, but then, it fades after a few days. 

I've contacted my doctor recently to have blood tests to check for potential problems with my Thyroid, but she told me since it's COVID, it's gonna take around 2 months before I can get an appointment. This is really disappointing as I really wanna dismiss any health issues before knowing if it's really just anxiety. But, I guess I just gotta wait and be confident that there's a way out of this mess.

I started doing meditation, exercise, eating more healthy but that wasn't really helping as I was still fearing the symptoms, the anxiety. It did help to reduce the symptoms though.

A couple of weeks ago, I started reading Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes and watching Shaan Kassam videos on Youtube and that gave me a different point of view on the whole situation. My last attack was a week ago and lasted until Friday. I was still scared but tried the float in the symptoms and that really helped. Now Saturday, I felt really good, almost no anxiety, no symptoms, I was truly happy and confident that I was gonna get through this ordeal.

The only thing worrying me is that this is not GAD, since it's not consistent, but an underlying health problem, testosterone imbalance or else.

So I guess my question is, did anybody have a fluctuating / intermittent GAD that was not caused by a health issue and did you managed to get over it ? How so ?

I'm a dad &amp; a husband who's a bit desperate, I need some encouragements. Thanks for listening :)
