If I’m not working, I’m procrastinating, and that just hightens my anxiety.

I’ve tried some health food supplements like Kalms, but I keep forgetting to take them, lol. Writing is my outlet.

I used to write in my journal a lot, but for some reason I stopped. Now I feel like I’m being smothered! I feel so exhausted from not being able to sleep, and my constant nervousness is making me sick.

but if you dont wanna go see a doctor id suggest writing your thoughts down. sometimes with GAD its hard to pinpoint what exatcly is bothering you at the time. soometimes its just a mix of everything but you cant pick out what. writing stuff down helps give your mind a break.
keep a journal beside your bed and every night, write down whatever your thinking even if it seems pointless. even write down random words that are in your head or colours or songs… anything. just try and get as much as you can out.
