Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

Anxiety is low today.

Anxiety was low until the pdoc office called. I don't answer the phone and they didn't leave a message. Maybe it was a mistake? I hate being freaked out over such little things.

Absolutely-I've been dealing with insomnia for about 22 years-bleh. I have really vivid dreams & the last few months I have had some wicked nightmares. Bad bad. Sometimes my anxiety keeps me from sleeping & sometimes I sleep ok but wake up anxious. I've been working through some PTSD stuff with my tdoc so I fell that is part of what is going on. When I am under a lot of stress this happens as well. Take care & hope it gets better

Anxiety low-ish as I just don't care today. I spent most of the day in bed just getting out to clean barf and diahhrea, and feed the children, call the school, call in to work. I had a coffee at 5 p.m. and went out to run some errands. It felt good to get out of the house into fresh air. I love grocery shopping for some reason. It always makes me feel secure, maybe because it's a routine. I hope and pray and wish that the sick tummies will stop.

No anxiety today, went to group and didn't have a panic attack which is great I almost feel as if I need a little anxiety now, just enough to get myself motivated to do my schoolwork. I can't seem to make myself get out of bed a majority of the time

Coping really well even with all the stuff going on-feels good not to freak out multiple times a day-it was getting to where that was the norm. I'm feeling quite hopeful

Well one night down (alone in the house without my husband), 3 to go! It was a little touch and go last night. The most comforting/safest feeling time was when one of my dogs jumped up right onto my lap. I finally made it to sleep. Too bad one of the dogs pooped on the living room carpet.

I have bad anxiety right now, very nervous. I started thinking about my bloodtest I got like half a year or a year ago and my cholesterol was a little high, I've gained like 50 lbs since then, it must be even higher now, which got me thinking about heart attacks, which is making my heart race.

I just got a bloodtest the other day and am going to call and see if the results or in, for some reason I'm nervous about that. My depakote may be increased, which scares me because of the possibility of liver toxicity and I got Lithium toxicity before. Also, going to see if I'm having problems with my thyroid.

Shaking because I have to call my doctor this morning. I hate making phone calls.

I'm just a mess this morning.

Very afraid of taking the 2 hour bus back home, I had a horrible panic attack on it last time and am now reluctant to get on it.

Anxiety starting to build.

I'm supposed to get a blood test as well. I keep putting it off, which of course I shouldn't.

Me too. Actually I'm primed for a heart attack. Overweight smoker and oh my gosh strokes too. Oh my gosh. I'm not having a great day, couldn't sleep until 5 am.

Well, my thyroid test came back normal. Everything else is fine, my Depakote level was low so that's being increased. The only bad thing is apparently my cholesterol is very high

I am very unhappy with my debtload. I need more income to pay it down.

I'm so glad you're mostly fine. Changing your diet will help in a lot of ways (I know from past experience, anyway - I can't do the kind of food preparation anymore that I once did).

For some weird reason, my anxiety level is pretty manageable and has come down drastically since I joined this forum in Sept. 2014, shortly after having a panic attack. No meds except sleeping pills. Therapy, journaling, exercise are regular events. Also I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried some new things with mixed results. Funny how pain is such a great motivator.

Doing really well anxiety wise-I believe my increased sleep has helped tremendously-it has been so long since I felt this good

Anxiety is alright today, probably because I have managed to preoccupy myself by getting lost in this forum all day. lol

It's just nice when I'm able to get out of it long enough to do something good for myself for a change. :P

Halfway there! Two nights down, 2 to go with my darkness/being alone phobia and my husband being out of town. I don't like it one bit but am toughing it out. Thank God he doesn't go out of town very often. Very little anxiety during the day.

Anxiety is worse so far. My friend will be away another month at least and I have to figure out how I'm going to deal with all this apartment stuff. The landlord is ignoring my calls and there's no one to change the ceiling bulbs etc. I'm incredibly depressed and disappointed and miserable. I feel as though no one knows me at all.

I'm so anxious. I feel like my head is going to explode.

I'm doing self care so anxiety has come down. I knit a row, till my fingers went numb, now I'm reading a book.

Anxious and excited to leave for holidays. Will have to deal with my finances when I come back. Will be making some changes incl. giving up parking to save money. I will likely take a consolidation loan.

Last night was bad with my being alone in the dark phobia. Not sure why it was worse than the previous two nights. I'm just glad my husband doesn't go out of town very often. One more night of incredible discomfort.

Yesterday I had one of the worst panic attacks, I need help.
