Well I did really good, all day long. Practically no anxiety, at least not bad enough to send me into a spiral/attack.

When I got home, I started feeling puny, due to the pregnancy and need to eat. Well, that got me anxious ofcourse, so I started to get that heart pounding sensation in my trunk area. Well, I had the bright idea to take my blood pressure, which at that point (158/89) seemed very high to me. Instead of saying, oh, I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack, I freaked, called the OB on call and everything only to have him tell me to calm down, and to not worry, that's it is probably attributed to my anxiety and to get in sooner for my appt. because it can't be preeclampsia or toxemia at this early on.

So, that helped slightly but nothing worked like my husband walking in the door. Just his presence was a big help. At that point I did some breathing (in nose, out mouth) and slowly calmed. So... I need to figure out what is going to help me calm when my husband isn't around, since he can't be, ya know?
