Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Post Reply New Topic

My APRN suggested to me she thinks I have it when I saw her last month. I was diagnosed with Asperger's and OCD, but she also thinks I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

I suppose it makes sense because my muscles are always stiff no matter what. Exercise doesn't help unless I do yoga, but yoga hurts like crazy until I'm finished, then I feel good for about a day, then the muscles stiffen up again. Though when I worry, I think it is a legit worry, I don't just worry for the sake of worrying. I do have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep.

I'm not sure what I think, honestly. I don't think I have it because I'm not a worrier unless there is a legit reason to worry.

Is it common for these anxiety issues to be co-morbid with Asperger's?

I have both Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Aspergers, on top of ADHD, PDD-NOS and Depression. I am not entirely sure how "normal" this diagnosis is, but it is normal for me at least.
