Hello.

I suffer from Generalized Anxiety disorder. Lately I have been feeling really low. I find no joy in life. My life is repeditive. Im aggrivated, I get angry easy, I feel like IM going to explode one minute, then the next minute Im crying and wish I would just die. But how can I die when Im afraid to? Not to mention all the physical symptoms and panic attacks i get.

I actually went to the doctors monday for a physical. The doctor saw me for 3 minutes and she left the room and didnt come back. The only thing she did was schedule and ECHO for me to easy my fear because i told her i take my pulse 10 times in an hour. I have been dealing with this for so long. Ive done all therapies, medicines and nothing helps me.

Is it possible to suffer GAD and lead to depression
 
I don't know if it leaRAB to it , but many (myself included) suffer from both. The anxiety disorder association says that 50% of people with anxiety also suffer depression. Greg
 
I know that when my doctor told me I had GAD, she also told me I had recurring depression. I think she's right.
 
yep, I find that if I get super freaked about a situation from my GAD or SAD.. and end up ruminating for.. days weeks it can lead to depressive bouts.
 
Yes, me too. i also have GAD which occasionally turns into depression (i feel like that right now in fact).
I saw a hynotherapist yesterday about my anxiety (before my first hypno session next week) - she told me that negative thinking = anxiety, and prolonged anxiety causes physical and mental stress on the body, affects our REM sleep, which then leaRAB to low mood/depression. A bit simplistic perhaps, but maybe useful to ponder, and to keep watch on our thoughts.
