ok, i learned(well i think i did)that i have GAD. I had a panic attack 3 days ago Im very anxious about my breathing. And i have a fear of heart problems, seizures(well epilipesy flashing light based ones), and holding my breath. It ruins my everyday life and i really dont wanna go to thereapy or tell anyone i know like a friend or parents. I drink in small sips now, barely talk, am a lot more tireed, scared, and more. I feel horrible. But i always look foward to dreams lucid or not. Cuz im never GAD in my dreams, I forget all about it(the biggest problem is i know that i have GAD now, thats making it alot worse).Even in my lucid dreams im just…not anxious. Well the other thing i wanted to talk about is sleep paraylis. Today i was tired cuz of GAD again so i took a nap at like 11:30 at 12:00 i was dreaming. Well i was STARTING to dream. It seemed the more i typed in my dream the more dreamier it got. Then i wanted to wake up. I tried and i opened my eyes(i think in real life…). I couldnt move a musscle. I wsa so scared. I remember thinking so hard about my right arm, Trying to pull it up…but i just…couldnt. Was it sleep paraylis after 30 minutes? Then i woke up… the anxiety came back
Yeah that is definetly SP. Ive never actaully experienced it myself, but ive read enough about it to know it when i hear it. I can understand why you’d be scared if this is your first experience with it. I can honestly say that even though i know about it and know to expect it, i might still be freaked out a little when it happens.
Thats good that you are getting relief in your dreams, it can surely help to ease some of your anxiety regarding GAD.
Honestly i dont know what GAD is (if thats an acronym, tell us what it stands for please!) but if it life altering enough that it affects your everyday life, it should definetly be brought to the attention of a professional.
Yeah, there are like medicines for everything these day ^^ Tell someone!
its generalized anxiety disorder btw blazeinfish. Im gonna try to do things in my ld today(if i have one) to do things to help with anxiety without knowing i have it(this is gonna be hard, lol)
ok, now talking about it, talking about dreams and more is acting like therapy!! i just drank for almost a whole sencond!!(lol, i know small, but im getting better)
Man doctors should know about dreams
u guys probobly dont care, but now i think i have OCD and not GAD. So now, im gonna try different lucid dream methods of gettin it away( i dont want a therapist, and dreams seem to help a lil).Anyone have any ideas?
