When I was first diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, I didn't really understand what it meant. It has been an extremely difficult journey emotionally. The impact hasn't just affected me, my family and friends have been dealing with a different person. Many probable past hurts, difficulties or trauma may have caused it, but what really matters is how to deal with it now. I have always had a relationship with God, but I admit when I was feeling great, I checked in with Him much less. Thankfully, He's okay with that and has been my rock through this storm of life. I hold onto this, my now favorite scripture: God's Promise: Isaiah 41:10 "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be discouraged, for I am YOUR God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand". I still have more road in this journey, but the "good news" is I have someone holding my hand.
