How does your anxiety affect your family and friends?

Question

I have GAD and although my brother knows about it, I do find my need to contact him over the telephone frequently annoys him and he can get rude with me at times and often refuses to answer the phone.

It creates a vicious circle....He gets annoyed, I get more anxious and so on.

Anyone here with similar experiences?

Answer 1

No I haven't had a similar experience but you have answered your own question by describing how your anxiety effects your brother and in turn you

Answer 2

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda.



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. The package doesn't have to say Splenda to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air
