When I started using SSRI's for GAD I thought they were the best. They worked well for me or so I thought. I have been so far out of touch with my own feelings (in part due to the drug) and my wifes feelings for so long I am now at a crisis point in my marriage.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Medication is only a short term patch.
Learning self help goes along way, working out at gym is also a great help to myself and alot of others.
