I have GAD if your anxiety does not decrease it can turn into depression.  I've spent a lot of my life worrying and not being happy. Educate yourself as much as you can. Get support from your loved ones and educate them. See an experienced Dr and therapist. It took me 7 Dr.s before I found a good one. I drive an hour and 45 mins to see my Dr. and it's worth it . I'm seeking an experienced therapist noe. They have to be a good . Good luck and keep seeking help.

I feel really similar to you.  I have had bad anxiety as young as 2 years old and it has followed me and haunted me as I grew up and I still deal with it today.  I have no idea what life feels like not worrying every second of every day.  I really dont know how people can go a day without getting an anxiety attack.  I get them at least once a day, some days worse than others.  Pretty much what everyone will say is dont give up hope...keep trying...your not alone.  And those are all very true but when you have anxiety its hard to see it that way.  I know the feeling of hopelessness so well.  I have been on the brink of suicide and ive done extreme things to try and end the pain of anxiety but here I am, still living with it.  Try and take things one breath at a time.  Think about the now...that always helps me somewhat.  Try reading, excersizing, picking up a hobby such as learning an instrument or language...or painting and writing.,  Those are all things you can develope goals for and when you reach the goals it gives yourself something to be happy and proud about.  It gives you something to dwell and concentrate on other than anxiety.  The world isnt completely full of woe....take some time to make a list of everything that makes you happy and focus on doing just that.

i used to be a happy person, but ever since this anxiety started, i cant seem to be happy about anything.. it feels very hopeless, i know, im sorry to hear that you have never felt happy,, is there anything that you enjoy doing that brings you any kind of happiness?? for me, the things i used to love or look forward to, dont make me happy anymore cuz im always having symptoms of anxiety, or expecting to have the symptoms come back at any second, which makes it hard to enjoy anything, feel like a zombie!!
