Living with Anxiety
When you look at me, I may look like an ordinary 20-year-old. I'm in a happy and stable relationship, I have a fairly well paid job (for my age) and I'm surrounded by loving friends and family but if you delve deeper into my life you'll see the things I try to hide from everyone; the anxiety, the depression, and the pain. You see chronic arthritis runs in my family, I was always going to develop it at some point in my life. My anxiety is what's called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD for short) for as long as I can remember I've always been a worrier, I never found it easy to make friends and always worried about my appearance and what others thought of me, however, I never imagined I'd be diagnosed with GAD and especially didn't even consider depression.
