Anxious about the snow coming. I think because I live in a small apartment that I just feel trapped if I think I cannot get out

I'm starting on 50mg of Zoloft tomorrow. Hopefully it will make a difference. My mother keeps yelling at me about being depressed and having social anxiety. It's not my fault I fell in love 2 years ago. Then when it all came crashing down my world fell apart. Now I'm broken and unfixable. I just want to die. I want the pain to end.

Anxiety today is like ever-present background noise...

Had a short episode of anxiety & irritability-was able to take my propranolol & use some coping skills-passed pretty quickly & did not escalate.

Starting last night it was getting bad again. I have to get together with a lady who's going to give me a trap to catch my outside kitty to have him get his shots and a microchip. But that means he'll have to spend the night in my bathroom because of my other cats in the house. So that's going to drive me crazy because I have their kitty litter in the bathroom and I'll have to take it out into the hallway. I probably won't get much sleep tonight but I hope that I can catch him for his appointment tomorrow morning.

I waited outside in the cold wearing nothing but a scrub shirt and sandals and it was getting colder and colder. I waited for an hour in 20 minutes for her and she no- showed. The cat trap lady said she was leaving the house and no showed me. I think she got lost in didn't take her cell with her for my number. I'm so disappointed and I was at a state of heightened anxiety which turned into paranoia. So my whole evening was just shot in stress. I have to slowly come down from that and hopefully make another appointment with her and then give up if she is not going to come through for me.

Have had some brief bouts of anxiety the last few days (along with irritability-bad combo) but propranolol has worked well using it prn & I've been writing & doing physical things to shake it off-lot of maintenance goes along with having such a hyper brain.

I had really bad anxiety at school today. I had to go to the restroom and hide in a stall and I started hyperventilating. Not sure what brought it on in specific. I think in general I'm just really anxious all of the time lately. Between school and work, I feel like I won't be able to handle it both

Had a bad bout with my anxiety & OCD after something triggered a really bad past experience. Got very overwhelmed, hot, felt sick & had to lay down-took double my propranolol prn dose & just kind of let go-it passed eventually but it was really nasty to relive that trauma-bleh. My husband was very supportive & I was able to get up & later hang out with him & cooked a late supper-so it did feel good afterwards that I didn't let it beat me-feel like I managed it well & didn't let it spiral out of control. No anxiety issues so far today-yay!

I have a new plan, thanks to my t. I have decided to check on myself with my anxiety level every day in the afternoon and see if I need a klonopin. Because I'm so used to high anxiety it doesn't occur to me until I'm spinning out of control like I was in the past 4 days. And then it leads to paranoia, schizoaffective symptoms, and OCD. So hopefully we will get this under control.

My anxiety level has been steadily escalating this past week. There are so many things I know I have to get done with work, bill paying, organization, and I feel like I can't make a decision or take any kind of productive action right now. The anxious thoughts and "what if's" keep circling around in my brain and my inaction only makes it feel worse.

My concentration is shot, making it near impossible to do the "homework" my T gave me. In part, I have to read something and though it's a short read, I can't seem to get into it. My mind wanders and I tell myself I'll do it later. That's making me anxious because I have an appointment the day after tomorrow. I'm running out of time...
I also have a funeral to attend. I'm nervous about the whole thing: driving there, finding a parking spot, facing all those people, etc., etc.

My anxiety was at a level 3 out of 3 the past 4 days, so my T told me to take stock of it daily now around 12 o'clock. So yesterday was the first day and I needed my prn. I'm so used to anxiety that it doesn't occur to me that I need help.

Bad anxiety today. It's building up.
 I have a terrible feeling it's just never going to get any better. The farther I get from having been forced off benzos (rapid taper two years ago) the worse the anxiety gets! I just can't stand this anymore. I feel desperate.
