Anxiety is a disorder that has a waxing and waning course. This means that there are times when the symptoms are fairly mild and there are times when the symptoms cause significant difficulty with daily functioning. Generalized anxiety disorder means that a person tends to worry excessively about things that most people worry about to some degree. As a person resolves the problematic situations, the anxiety symptoms tend to abate.
Until you get treated.
GAD is a life-long illness but treatment is available. If your treatment works for you, don't stop it and think you are cured. Your symptoms could come back.
