Anxiety is through the roof, it's making me physically ill.

Not sure what's going on with me today-slept well last night (ambien) & felt ok & calm. About 2 hours ago we started doing a little online shopping with gift cards & I started getting really cranked up-did my breathing took my propranolol & tried to walk it off. Then some friends gave us hockey tickets (which I love) & it got worse-I'm all shaky & my stomach is still upset so I've isolated myself in my art room for a bit. I hate feeling like this especially when good things are happening. Soooooo frustrating & only 1 Ativan left-see tdoc tomorrow & pdoc Monday.

The past few days I've been having problems with OCD traits and anxiety about 20 hours after I take Paxil. It's as if it starts to wear off. On the 30th during my appointment I'm going to see if I can get an increase and also possibly a split dose.

I'm on edge about things that shouldn't be such a big deal. I've been on the same dose of Valium for several years now. It's not as effective as it used to be.

There was a workman that came and banged on the door. I was in the bathroom. I screamed at him I couldn't let him in and he yelled something I didn't catch but did come back when I was out of the bathroom. So he finally comes in and when he sees the state of my place he says Nevermind, he's not going to fix the fuse box hole after all.

And there's loud music coming up from downstairs. I wish to God I could go back on Klonopin. I'm so angry right now I can barely see straight.

No anxiety beast so far today-that episode yesterday just sucked-bleh. This kind of feels like my anxiety is stalking me-always lurking around & then when I least expect it wham there it is. See my pdoc Monday-going to talk to her about changing or increasing anxiety meds-its hard to progress or get anything done-I'm all coping skilled out-very tiring.

I also have an appointment with my pdoc on Monday. She's new, I hope she's nice.

Need to get up and go do some Christmas shopping, I'm really hoping I can keep the anxiety at bay long enough to do that.

I hate shopping in crowded stores, I'd rather shop on line.

I'm waiting for important health insurance information to come in the mail. Like, whether or not I have it. Every day that it doesn't come amps up my anxiety.

If only I'd been more organised earlier so I could have done that, now I've ran outta time. No chance of going to the shops today though, feel like I'm going to have a heart attack every time I consider it.
Back to bed I go.

Does anyone else ever feel like the anxiety is so bad it feels like their blood is bubbling? Sorry that looks way more disgusting in print than it sounded in my mind.

Haha, sounds super gross but I know what you mean. Sometimes my anxiety will be purely emotional, but more often there's a lot of physical symptoms as well and I've definitely experienced anxiety where it's that bad and basically feels like something's gone very wrong inside and I might implode.

Yes! I have far too many physical symptoms.

No anxiety today, I'm realizing the cause of what I start feeling every afternoon. The hyperness/restlessness/agitation is coming from my Invega Sustenna (injection) wearing off by the afternoon each day because my body metabolizes it too quick. The temporary pdoc I talked to a week or so ago said that and it made sense. I get the shot once a month and its released a little bit each day but its not enough for my body. So on Monday I'm going to ask my new pdoc about getting on a dose of oral Invega to take in the afternoons in addition to the monthly shot. OCD traits are in check, I even broke one of the rules I set for myself the other day about having to clean this Sunday, not earlier an not after because it is WRITTEN in my schedule and God forbid I not follow my schedule lol Well I didn't, I cleaned my room today, it was messy but I was trying to make myself wait till Sunday because I didn't want to erase it in my schedule and rewrite it for today.
