Anxious About Diagnosis

So I just got diagnosed with GAD yesterday, and I think I’ve known for a while but never went to get help until recently. Now that I know for sure, I still feel like I need to convince myself that this is what I’m feeling. I know I worry about the smallest things all the time and have obsessive thoughts that just won’t go away, but trying to get my brain to realize that this is my anxiety is so difficult. And trying to explain it to other people gives me more anxiety because I don’t know how to get them to understand that this is more than just normal anxiety. Idk what I’m really looking for here other than somewhere to vent I guess.
