Lovely chatroom. I'm new here and going through the messages is so refreshing.

At first I suspected I had anxiety issues and I went to see a therapist. She did not diagnose me but she taught me techniques to reduce my anxieties. It wasn't as scary as I thought as I didn't want medications. That helped a lot. I have friend who was diagnosed as having Generalized Anxiety Disorder from a psychiatrist. But after being diagnosed, she became worse and labelled herself. So I guess it depends on your needs. but I agree, if you feel unwell, go seek someone for help.
