If you could describe your anxiety in one word, what would it be?

[CMF]

There is a thread under Depression just like this so I thought why not start an anxiety one?

My word is:

Attacking

[Delta_Addams]

Exhausting

[Solosombra]

Draining

[Moonstruck]

Strangling

[PLUMJUICE]

CONSTRICTING.

[Moonstruck]

Overpowering

[MsPurple]

dreadful

[MsPurple]

I feel an overwhelming feeling of dread when I'm really anxious. I am so glad I am getting support now because the feeling of constant dread isn't as often and not as severe as it was when I was first diagnosed with GAD. I do have flare ups but it is getting better.

[Muddlee]

Spontaneous

[K52]

Debilitating.

[Cornstarch]

Recalcitrant
