Generalized anxiety disorder. I am probably more along the lines of being generally anxious. I do have health phobias and also am recovering from an eating disorder but it's a general feeling of anxiety seemingly unrelated to a particular phobia.

GAD is called Genralised Anxiety Disorder, for me i worry constantly about anything and evrything no matter how simple the situation is logically, your thought,s get blown up and magnified out of proportion where the simplist thing can make you go in a delilitating downwardspiral of physical symptoms stopping you from doing every day things, eg: facing other people or situations, work ect.
GAD is diagnosed is you have persistent and chronic anxiety and worry over a 6 month period of time, it can in reality last longer than this. I hope this helps out a bit. Hugs!
