When worry becomes a constant background noise in your life.
It’s completely normal to worry from time to time—life is full of uncertainties. But for people living with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), worry doesn’t come and go. It’s there all the time, moving from one concern to the next, often without a clear reason.
GAD is a long-term condition marked by persistent and excessive anxiety about a range of everyday situations. People with GAD often find it difficult to relax, and even when one worry is resolved, another quickly takes its place. Over time, this ongoing cycle of tension can become exhausting—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
What Does GAD Feel Like?
GAD can impact your ability to focus, sleep, and even carry out daily tasks. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, planning for worst-case scenarios, or feeling like your mind just won’t switch off.
Common symptoms include:
- Feeling anxious or worried most of the time
- Restlessness or an inability to relax
- Difficulty concentrating or staying present
- Irritability and heightened sensitivity
- Muscle tension, headaches, or physical discomfort
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Feeling on edge or easily startled
- Heart palpitations, sweating, or nausea
People with GAD are often highly responsible and thoughtful—traits that can become overwhelming when the mind is constantly scanning for potential problems.
Therapy Can Help You Feel More Grounded
If you feel like you’re always waiting for something to go wrong—or stuck in a loop of constant worry—therapy can help you understand and ease the anxiety.
Through structured, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we’ll work together to:
- Identify and challenge patterns of unhelpful thinking
- Build coping tools for managing uncertainty
- Learn strategies to calm the body and mind
- Reconnect with the present moment
- Restore your capacity to rest, focus, and enjoy life
Living with GAD can be draining, but with the right support, it’s possible to find relief—and a renewed sense of calm and clarity.
