Waterlily,

Yes, after suffering from terrible anxiety for almost 14 years (the worst being over the last five years), my pdoc and I agree that there is definitely an obsessive component to anxiety.

Someone with terrible GAD is compulsive regarding their thoughts. I fought an OCD diagnosfor a long time b/c I am a chronic worrier vs. a germophobic/handwasher, etc. I now see the correlation between GAD and compulsive thinking.

So, along with the Xanax I have to take, my pdoc and I are combatting the obsessive component to my GAD. A new strategy for me that just might work (keeping fingers crossed).
Regards,
JM
