I need a little help. On a generalised anxiety test perscribed by my docter i ticked almost every box but one does that mean i have generalised anxiety or not? 😕 idk. I definitly think i do as i have often panic attacks and worry about literally everything but i just want to confirm.

It started when my best friend (alyssa) got quite manipullative towards me like i wanted to play touch but due to her not wanting me to she made me feel gulity by saying its fine but going quite not speaking with me then next think i know im in an office being made to say sorry to my best friend who is crying next to the princible about how i hate her and stuff like that. Same thing again when i talk to someone other than her for 5 min back in the office her crying and me saying sorry and these common visits to the office me saying sorry and her crying became a regular thing if everything wasnt exactly done to her standers honestly i was getting sick of it and looking back i wonder why i didnt just leave but back then she was my only friend so i guess i was just scared. Then i met chloe the sweetest girl and she listened to me but obviously alyssa  hated that so became spaced out and didnt talk to me and when i was back in the office i said sorrry but i didnt leave chloe she was so kind and that pissed alyssa of that when i tried to include her she would decline and not speak to me then we grew apart and barley spoke i thought it was all over but then it all blew up right in my face. 😭 (part 2 coming soon)

Dear New Member~

Welcome here to the Forum where you can read other peoples views on your situation. It is a real pity that your ex-best freind became so manipulative, wanting her own way and jealous.

 

I would think that if she went and complained too often then the principal would realize this is a for more control, not genuine unhappiness. Perhaps you should make your own appointment with the principal to explain if this keeps happening.

 

You are pretty insightful to realise the reason you stayed with her as a best friend was fear of loneliness -a very powerful thing. Now you have a new friend and that simply makes her jealous. You were kind to try to include her, but it did not work.

 

May I suggest you simply ignore your ex-friend and leave it at that?

Dear New Member~

Welcome here to the support forum where you can read of many people that have generalized anxiety and how they coped. 

In order for your doctor to suggest you take a test there must be things in your life htat prompted the idea. Worrying about everything and panic attacks certainly point towards taking this test.

 

Beyond Blue has a self-test too at

 

https://www.beyondblue.org.au/mental-health/k10

 

Any results from any test must be taken with a note of caution, while the can be an indication of a condition it takes a qualified clinician to make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

 

As a result nobody on the Forum can say you definitely have or have not a particular condition, we are not qualified. All we can say is take the results back to your doctor, talk about your constant worry and panic attacks and see what happens

 

As someone who also has generalized anxiety I can say that life can be made an awful lot better, in my case with therapy and medication, so helping your doctor give the right treatment is well worth while.

 

If you would like to come back and say what happened it would be great

She then spread rumurs horrid things that could get me expeled like being racist and violent these things were not true but they hurt i was now sitting with the head borad person of the school higher than the princible. i was so close to being expelled but then my parents stepped in saying how there was no evidence and that i would never say stuff like that. after this i became quite reserved only speaking to chloe and one other girl and i developed suicidle thoughts and would punish my self e.g. harm my self for any wrong action i did and was scared of school and each time i saw alyssa i couldnt breath and had full blown panic attacks whre it felt like my rib cage was colapsing in on its self. so when i went to high school i thought things would get better after all i had chloe right. Wrong she left to a different group after one week and i was left with no one soon i gathered more friends but i call my best friend SAF i tell her it means she the best but im just scared to call her my bestie cause i know like all the rest she will leave. from everyone leaving in the past practicaly each day i ask my friends if they like me or else i cant get through my day as i have the overwelming feeling of stress that everyone is leaving me and hates me and though i love tadpoles i dont really want to go back to them being my only friends but my anxiety and need to know if my friends like me is scarying me if its driving them away. and now i live in constant fear of betrayal and i dont truly trust anyone anymore and well it hurts really bad like crying an ocean of tears and sinking through the floor kind of hurt like slowly dying from the inside like the dark of the tunnel with never end likes its over and i cant seem to stop it like everyone hates and will betray me.
