>>10592986I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's hard to explain what it feels like when I'm off my meds. First off, I'm CONSTANTLY wondering what everyone around me is thinking, especially what they're thinking about me. It makes me paranoid. I tend to assume everyone is thinking the worst of me, and if they're friendly, I think it's fake. I don't trust anyone. I get irritable and impatient. I become very intolerant of even the slightest weakness or stupidity, real or imagined. I will go off on people, telling them all the reasons they suck. I say really hurtful, cutting things. It's also very difficult for me to sleep. I'll lie awake at night worrying about problems in my personal life, or if I can't focus on those, problems with the world in general. I just go over and over them in my head. When I sleep, I wake up five or six times a night. This makes me even more angry and irritable since I'm sleep deprived. And all this adds up to make me severely depressed. Thankfully medication helps.
