Generalized is being anxious about everything. Like a constant worry. Social anxiety is social situations where you may feel judged, belittled, or criticized.

Therapy helped me get over my social anxiety. I literally don't have it at all anymore.
I get my adhd managed/script by a psych NP there....one day I randomly brought up how I'm irritable or down at times w/o any kind of trigger. It's just how I kinda wake up. Then I can be kinda impulsive at times. She suggested lamictal (she knows I used to work in psych) and wrote a script and left it up to me to try it. She felt I was on the outer realm of a mood disorder. Nothing diagnosable by DSM criteria but enough symptoms that could be treated with the medication.
I was kinda
about trying it but I was meditating & exercising which helped, but I still dealt w/ it more than I wanted. My adderall a godsend but I'm iffy about anything else cause them side effects ain't for me. I did know lamictal really didn't have any except a possibility for SJS when starting (risk is really for those who also take depakote or tegretal). I knew my risk was low so I started at 25 mg...after 5 weeks I was at 100 mg (goal). I started the end of October and I started feeling a lil better as the weeks progressed. All I'll say is this is the most consistently happy I've been in a longggg time 
actually thanked her at my follow-up
Just wanted to pop in. Man the power of conversation is real . I used to keep things to myself and never share ANYTHING that was going on with me personally. In hindsight that made me feel so much worse. When you share shyt it's like you can feel the burden of it leaving you

I'm about done with my mom and starting to see her emotionally abusive ways.
My brother has been acting out..he's 15 and rebelling not getting attention so he is acting..dad died when he was 1.
My mom while a nice person,provides food and shelter but emotionally distant and when angry she flies off the handle and will ssy anything to hurt you.
I never really knew how to guid my brother and was distant but would try to play video games and take him to the movies,WWE...but didn't give him the attention he wanted.
Anyway my brother doesn't listen and has been taken to the psych unit about 4 times in 5months..my mom highkey instigates the situation all the time. My brother doesn't respect her authority at all at this point and my mom is frustrated I get it but resorts to name calling, telling him she hates him, he's a junkie,piece of shyt...and if she has a bad day at work she goes in on him even harder.
It's hard because when I try to bring up why he acting up and mad at her she gets defensive and says I'm taking his side. She says she we always blame her...then she started talking shyt at me about my mental health and how me and my brother could be plotting on her because we're on meds
I told her she instigates the situations,start beating on him,throwing stuff at him trying to provoke him to hit her so she has a reason to get him charged.
Even my uncle has said it that she does not being told she is wrong, and me being her son she doesnt hear it at all.
The cops been called her like 8 times in 5 months and have said she provokes most of the confrontations.
I'm trying to be level headed in all this but it gets hard trying to tell my brother to keep calm and quiet when my mom is provoking him. Like he shuts down and doesn't do what he is told and I suggested to my mom she doesn't have to call him a piece of shyt.
This whole shyt sucks and my mom is a big reason why I don't like home...when I fukked up and was in the process of losing my college housing I tried to commit that because the thought of failing and having to go back home was terrible.
I can sympathize so much. For much of my life my mom has been the exact same way. Your mom seems exactly like mine. Me personally I feel that a toxic mother is worse than a deadbeat father. Like you said with your mom she can be nice and she has always provided food and shelter but this emotional distance and anger issues is such a huge turnoff. Will say the foulest shyt to me to kill my self esteem and its been like that since i was like 7. I said to her before she is clearly taking her anger at my father out on me which i found stupid as hell. Its subconscious but we all know alot of mothers do that dumb shyt. Did your dad who die look like your brother?
You will agree with me on this breh but its disgusting they are this way then all of a sudden when we have kids when we get older they turn into angels and become the sweetest(fakest) people
Like the compassion you show the grandchild why didnt you show your son?
Glad to hear it.Just wanted to pop in. Man the power of conversation is real
This helps me get to sleep and not be so in my head.

Ya feel me
I’m bumping this cause I need help in the worst way. Even if it’s a book or YouTube videos I need something to help me out. My relationship is trash and could be alot better I lost my pops last year and I don’t really have anyone to talk to.
Going back to church is something that really helped for me. Also getting a therapist as well, Home , this helped me tremendously bro. if you need someone to talk to, im down

I do want to start getting back in touch with god, but I don’t even know where to start with that. I used to go to talk to someone, but they wanted me to go on anti depressants, and those made me feel numb I hated it. I’m afraid they’ll recommend me that especially once I start talking.
Use the network I gave you and bro, all it takes is walking through those doors man, you got this, I have faith in you

Drugs should always be the last resort. Start small by changing your lifestyle. Eat healthier, exercise, meditate, get a hobby, ect. Anything to keep your mind busy and healthy because at the end of the day, its all in your head.
