Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

somatic panic attack ;( for no reason...

There are quite a few of us here at PC that have the whole phone anxiety thing-I was surprised so many deal with that but it also made me feel better that I wasn't alone. Sometimes I write up a little conversation & plan it out beforehand as much as possible-it usually lessens the anxiety & makes me feel more in control.
Today has been good this will be my 2nd day taking my propranolol earlier in the evening-meds seem to be agreeing with me & I feel like my therapy is going in a good productive direction.

I made that phone call today. The guy on the other end wasn't overly talkative which made it feel really awkward. And turns out i could have just sent an email... *smacks forehead* But it's done now, thank goodness.

i was very anxious this morning, and i guess i am still a little bit now.... but not as much.

i'm not sure why, but i was convinced i was going to greece- it was the start of a long long episode..

at first i kept thinking that perhaps someone had baught me tickets to greece- but it had somehow slipped from my mind, and the more and more i thought of it, the more i realised that no... they couldn't have. i don't know anyone who would even buy me that sort of thing, i've never left the country, never plan too, and couldn't even get to the airport because of my anxiety

and then i thought it was 1 of my alters who had got the tickets (which would have been the start of something big, ) because i can't aford essentials, so how i was going to aford to pay for a ticket to greace was beyond me

i stayed up all night online looking up greek customs, greek tourist atractions, currency exchange rates, etc. because the voices in my head convinced me.. you have got a ticket to greace

but it all soon got too much- and i started pannicking and screaming.. i don't want to do any of this!. i don't want to get on a plain, i don't want to go to the airport, i don't want to go to greace.. and i end up just staring at the screen with all the greek information on it crying.

i did calm myself down later, and listen to an audio book.. i'm trying not to think much on it- but it's still sort of an issue for me.

i'll be okay

So far ok today. Dare I say?

I do that as well — I create a script before the call and it helps.

* Panic Disorder w/ Agoraphobia
* Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
* Hoarder
* Fibromyalgia
* Major Depressive Disorder w/ Recurrent Major Depressive Episodes

Doing well so far-changing the time of the evening propranolol has a made a difference so yay for that. It's funny how much energy I have when I'm not all weighed down with anxiety.

I had a good day today!

Checking in. Today I have felt good until it turned dark. And then I kinda got that oh **** feeling. I'm working on distracting myself and it is helping. Want to avoid the full blown panic.

Panic attacks for no reason is what panic d/o is all about. There do not need to be rational reasons for the anxiety, nothing is puting us in danger yet it is still felt like there is something unsafe.

somatic panic attack while having bath... I need a hug ;________; does anyone gets attacks when body is heavy, i mean really heavy? I barely got up from bathtub... still feeling heavy, and like something would be crushing my head....

Sometimes when I lay down during an attack I feel heavy like my whole body is being crushed or held down by something-sorry you are feeling so bad

No anxiety today, I think I found a med that really helps.

It's been an easy morning so far. I'm going out to lunch with a friend later though, so we'll see how that goes. I hope the place we're going to won't be too busy.

Anxiety in overdrive as I await the phone call being made for me to my rheumatologist's office tomorrow.

* Panic Disorder w/ Agoraphobia

Strangely enough I had no anxiety today, which of course is a good thing!

I have group on Thursday, which I'm looking forward to. Can't wait to tell them all about my classes

Thanks Turtlesoup, I sometimes have this feeling for whole day, like today, no matter if I sit, stand, walk...
right now I'm 'not there', and I feel something like cold wind on my lips which is so weird, there's no wind in my room.. forearms and hands hurts..

Early this morning I woke up with a horrible headache and was sweating a lot and I was nauseous.

Me too!



Me too. It's so frightening.

yeah it is :c

abusive father strikes again, and I feel panic for a whole day.. now I have to be totally alone only with my panic which rips me off in the inside, for about 7h, till my mom will come back from work..
