Generalized is an excessive or unrealistic worry about life over small things. They are worried, but they are unable to say what they are worried about (Rathus, 2010). Some causes of this may include a family history of anxiety, recent or prolonged exposure to stressful situations, including personal or family illnesses, excessive use of caffeine or tobacco, which can worsen existing anxiety, and childhood abuse. Symptoms range from difficulty concentrating, difficulty sleeping, irritability, fatigue and exhaustion, muscle tension, repeated stomach pain or diarrhea, sweaty palms, tremor, rapid heartbeat and neurological symptoms (Healthline, 2017). An example from my life was when I was walking home after a volleyball match and I got hurt during the match and I was in pain, so tears were running down my face and then I started thinking about what the outcome would be about my injury and I started crying like crazy and hyperventilating and shaking. I had no choice but to pull over until I stopped hyperventilating and was able to drive. It was a very scary time because I had no control over my body. Another example is when I get overwhelmed with school work and freak out. I start to hyperventilate, my hands start to shake, my palms get sweaty, and my heart beats faster. One way I deal with this is to try to do things that help me calm my nerves, like listen to music, take a quick shower, etc. This really helps me because it calms me down and
