I was diagnosed with GAD a few years ago, but I haven't really followed up on it since I haven't been sure if I actually have it. I don't think I get physical symptoms, though now that I think about it I guess my tinnitus could be related if I do have it. When I got it looked at by a doctor who specializes in ear stuff, they said they couldn't find the source of the tinnitus.

Anyways, I'm not entirely sure if what I'm experiencing is anxiety or not. I often feel a nervousness sort of like having "butterflies", but not as bad. Sometimes it's worse than others, like now when I'm on break from school and I know I should be working on getting a job, but even thinking about trying to get a job makes the nervousness get worse and so I put it off. But the longer I put it off, the worse that feeling is which makes me want to do it even less.

It's just that it doesn't seem as bad as what people often describe anxiety as, and it seems like the more I focus on it the worse it is. Like, when I question if I have it or not, I seem to have more worried thoughts than I normally do, so it makes me wonder if I'm just faking it and I've convinced myself that I have it when I don't. Like maybe believing I have it is the cause of the feelings.
