It is possible, however, for worry to become more confronting, emotionally, than these every day worries.
If you are experiencing worries that are excessive, uncontrollable, or irrational, and have been experiencing these worries for an extended period of time, you may be suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder, or GAD.
Excessive worrying that lasts for months, feeling restless or on edge, being easily tired or having difficulty concentrating. Being anxious, tense, fearful when threatened is normal and helpful, as the anxiety increases the ability to flee or fight the threat.

People who inherit or develop a nervous temperament see the ordinary world as threatening and, if they do not learn to cope, will react to minor threats as if they were major. Hence the persistent and pervasive worrying.
Getting better means gaining control over worry. The most important thing to remember about anxiety is that it’s not your fault. Anxiety is made worse by life’s stress, which can affect a person’s thoughts, feelings and everyday functioning.
