    anxiiety- worried about normal everyday activites, kids going to school paying the bills,etc. G.A.D.- NOT stopping the worry being in a constant state,thinking about next weeks bills,months,in advance. so much so you don’t know anyother way. thinking that dreadfull things and events are going to happen. for me it was like a fairground ride; ididn’t know how to get off.
