Showing some signs...
Lately, I've been feeling kind of funny. If my memory serves me right, it started around the second week of July. My heart suddenly starts racing to the point wherein I feel a twinge of pain. Added to that, I'm not sure whether it's only an emotional twinge or a physical one. After a week of experiencing this, I started to worry about it. At first, I had a suspicion that it was hypertension, so I looked it up over the net. What surprised me was that, the symptoms were far from what I'm experiencing. I consulted a few friends about this and although a lot of their opinions varied (and some were utterly impossible too) , a common response surfaced - Stress.
That goes without any doubt. Stress really is, if not the strongest, one of the strongest factors affecting my physical condition. Maybe it's because I'm such a worry-wart. I worry about a lot of things - my family, my friends, my studies, the environment, etc. So I went and searched about excessive worrying and guess what? I found out about Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I showed a few of the early symptoms - restlessness, irritability, chronic fatigue and difficultly in concentration. If this kind of feeling continued for a few weeks more - most likely, I have it.
I've been a worry-wart ever since I was a child. Perhaps I should let go of a few, unnecessary things. I'd like to be worry-free once-in-a-while, but wouldn't it break me?
