No anxiety issues the last few days-using the CBT skills is really helping (& the Buspar).

My daughter would like my T to teach me some skills so that I don't spin out. I usually only need about 1 second to get from zero to a thousand and I'm totally lost with anxiety. And then I can't function or process.

So far, since my last major "episode" a few weeks ago and the many minor ones after (kinda like an earthquake), I haven't felt anything over a level 1 or 2 in a scale of 10.
Thanks for this!

Still very anxious. I know its not good, but its such a relief that it's not the depression so much, depression is hell.

Nearly had a panic attack before getting a cortisone injection but managed to keep it together and just breathe it out while crying.

Supposed to be going back to tafe tomorrow and I'm freaking out, can't sleep and don't even want to. I just don't wanna go, I wanna hide in my room forever.

Awful anxiety today. Had to take hydroxyzine twice today and it barely helps. I don't think I can take my life much longer.

Hang in there.

This will also pass. Try to focus on things that calm you.

Got a bad addiction to Law & Order SVU, it's the only thing keeping me calm these days.

God I'm going through it now. It's been a few weeks so I guess I'm due?

Anyway, thankfully it passed.

I have to move into the same office today with my ex. That's causing anxiety. We've worked together before in the same office and I really can't stand him. But we work well together professionally. So time will tell.

I have a lot of anxiety but if I can get some of the stuff done on my list I will feel better I hope. I'm just so overwhelmed by practically nothing. I don't know how I ended up like this. Well, I do know but I'm still shocked.

Anxiety levels seem okay, depression is taking over for a bit.
Hope you're all having an okay day.

Anxiety not very bad today so far. I feel kind of down (and I didn't sleep last night again) but not frantic, thank goodness.
Thanks for this!

Feeling sleepy, and a bit apprehensive about the work I have to do today, but no anxiety today. I know once I put on my headphones and start listening to music that I'll have a good & productive day.
Thanks for this!

Feel good today-slept well. Got anxious during my tdoc visit yesterday talking about some past trauma that had reared it's ugly head but got through it. I know I still have a lot to work on so am trying to be more patient with myself which is hard. Take care all

While biking I tried to deal with the stuff that causes me anxiety and, for the life of me, I just couldn't do it. No matter how hard I try to deal with the negative stuff, I couldn't even keep it in my head.

You're probably thinking "why bring yourself in that place???"

My thinking is, when is the best time to tackle something negative? Isn't it when you're in a good place? Like at a time when you're mentally clear, and strong/confident? For me, it's when I'm biking that I feel strongest.

Anyway, nothing happened. It was as if the negativity was locked in a place in my head and I have no access to it when things are ok.

Bummer.

But I'm feeling pretty good after the other day.
Thanks for this!
