Generalised Anxiety Disorder

I stumbled across this poster the other day and was free enough to read. There is a disorder known as the Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). There's a disorder for everything these days. Is more of an excuse sometimes. Those poor doctors just have more and more to memorise.

According to Wikipedia, GAD is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about everyday things, which is disproportionate to the actual source of worry. Imagine how hard is it to live like that. Symptoms include:

1. excessive anxiety and worry,
2. difficult to control worry,
3. restlessness/irritable/muscle tension,
4. easily fatigued yet difficult to sleep,
   
5. difficulty concentrating,
6. impairment in social and other areas of functioning, etc.
   

You know, I used to be such an anxiety prone, easily stressed, insomaniac person. But over the reason years, I've learnt to place all my worries and burdens at the feet of the cross. Let God. And life has been SO MUCH better. I handled things and people better, loose my temper far less, and sleep better. God is good! He is here to relief us if only we would give it to Him.
