Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

Had pdoc appointment today, nearly had a panic attack in the waiting room but luckily didn't

Doing much better today. It's amazing what some good sleep and good meals can do for me. It's a relief to be feeling on more of an even keel.

Read that several years ago & my hubby's undergrad thesis was about mindfulness meditation for chronic pain. We got to hear him speak in Berkeley & at my husband's graduation-pretty good stuff. I originally did that class for help with anxiety & PTSD in 2006 & still do the guided body scan as often as I can-hope you find it helpful.

My sister had to have "Queen Kitty" put to sleep. Her heart was failing. I know this destroyed my sister, so I'm anxious about her state.
Every other part of me is devastated.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I nearly lost myself yesterday anticipating how much I had to get done over the next couple days regarding moving house. But I tried not to panic and wrote down a list of the things that had to be done. I ticked a lot of them off today, and other things worked themselves out that saved me some effort. Let's hope the rest of the week goes alright.

Just had one an hour ago. It happened after an especially distressing business meeting.

It happened while I was driving and I was going thru all the worst case scenarios in my head - then boom. Dizziness, trouble breathing, can't focus, palpitations, tingling and numbness.

Then I started breathing very deeply and it went away. But it would come back (I was at the mall of all places).

I couldn't stay put so I'd walk around (I suppose that's my flight response). Every time I'd stay put I feel "walls closing in" and all that.

Then I tried counting (just mouthing the numbers), just straight counting and it somehow worked. Talking also helped.

Now I'm back to normal. Was a while since I felt that.

Extremely minimal anxiety now that my husband is back from his trip. That was really rough making it through the nights without him.

Thats great BlueBird keep up the good work!!!!

I keep getting full panic anxiety whenever I think someone has gotten home. I wish I could live alone again.

I wish sometimes that i lived alone, just for the peace. i know in my mind and heart i would never be able to do it without my husband and son, i am so dependant on them, especially with my mental issues. I also love them too much to not have them around.

Anxiety was pretty low last night upstairs in the bedroom before my husband came to bed. I still need to have the bedside light on and bedroom door closed, but I'm not virtually terrified, as I was when my husband was out of town.

I'm supposed to read some things and do some things — homework from my T — but I put everything off until the last minute and now I can't stop thinking and crying about "Queen Kitty."
I'm afraid I won't get these simple things done. This is my first real homework "assignment" from my T. My next appointment is in 2 days...

I joined a school sports team and my anxiety has decreased dramatically. It is so awesome. This is why I have to have no free time, otherwise I become depressed and miserable for no reason whatsoever and I just work myself up for nothing.

You seem to be very in love with your husband. I find it kind of adorable. That's how couples have to be. I hope I'll find someone I feel the same way about one day.

I am definitely very in love with him, and I think he with me!

I have anxiety about making it through the day today: volunteering at museum, AA meeting, my husband's laundry. Why do I have to worry so much about whether I can get things done, when I ALWAYS manage to get done what I set out to do?

It just makes my life so unpleasant to have so much anxiety/worry about just everyday life. I never used to be this way. Could it be related to my depression somehow? How will I ever make it working full time if I have so much anxiety about getting simple things done?

Yesterday and today no anxiety, I hope it lasts.

Feeling very nervous and overwhelmed.. Have a job interview in an hour. I feel terrible.

Mild anxiety. I love soda and coffee I'm trying to ween off bc obviously it just makes my anxiety disorder worse.

Anxious, anxious, anxious.

Good luck!!! Once it's over it'll be some relief. (I hope).

Thank you. It went okay and I have a 2nd interview so now I'm really nervous all over again

Maybe you can try flavoured water or iced tea instead!

Anxious about tomorrow, getting a new tattoo. Excited though
