Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

My daily anxiety varies from mild to moderate. But, I still get times when my anxiety is triggered badly.

Went to my 3rd group therapy session today. I felt comfortable. No stress, no drama. I got involved in the discussions. It was good. Definitely feeling like things are changing for the better.

I went to see my case manger today and mailed off a letter to my brother. I'm so glad that I made it out this week compared to the disaster last week.

Anxiety is horrible right now. I've never pulled my lashes and I had a big rock of hard mucus stuck to my top lashes and I finally just pulled it off and lashes came with it. It hurts and feels sticky and my anxiety is horrible. There's noise from downstairs, just constant thumping and I feel horrible. If only I had Klonopin.

No anxiety today. About to get to work on a project I've avoided for a long time. I'm confident I can get it done and do a good job of it. Time to get cracking.

Be gentle with your eyes. When you wash your face, wash your eyes, too.

I do. I have a problem with the eye running. I have to be very careful not to touch it or it starts producing mucus which hardens into rocks overnight. And gets stuck around my lashes. And yes, I have been trying to strengthen my back but it only is getting maybe a few seconds more of standing up time. You seem to think I'm unable to think of obvious ways to try to help myself. Thanks.

Sorry. I meant no offense.

Little anxiety today cant get by level 86 in candy crush

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Not really anxious, although my perfectionism has been causing me grief this past week. I'm way behind on a couple of work projects too, so I'm a little stressed, but I know once I shut off my brain and let my experience and instincts take over, I'll be fine. I think tomorrow I'll focus on small tasks, get a few small "wins" under my belt, to get my confidence up. That usually gets me going.

My shoulders are up around my ears so my normal state of anxiety here. Last night I felt like I was going to have a panic attack at the beginning & then at the end of a yoga class when it's supposed to be the most relaxing - what's that all about?!

i feel better than i was feeling all winter, i think the weather helps alot

Anxiety is horrible. I'm freaked out about all kinds of physical issues and it's hot and I'm sick of this place I'm in!

I'm not sure what I am, but I know I've been avoiding things I should be dealing with. Been like this for several weeks now. Time to actually follow through with what the therapist told me to try, since avoiding isn't getting me anywhere.

a little anxious today.

someone mentioned they were going down to the seaside for the weekend

freaked me out. that's how bad my agoraphobia is- i told them please, stop. i'm shaking and i've not even left the house and this isn't even my trip

Anxiety actually let up for awhile last night and I slept and woke up around 8 am today. Hopefully I'll stay on this sleep schedule and work it a little earlier. I'm dreading the anxiety getting bad again. Just can't live like this.

So far so good, very little anxiety. I'm relaxed and sleepy.

I'm forcing myself to go clubbing tonight, an activity I used to love before the anxiety but right now my mind is racing with reasons as to why I shouldn't go. I really want to though

I'm anxious to start work in 20 minutes. It's my monday. This week seems like it's going to be a doozy given that one of my coworkers quit and I'll have to depend on unskilled agency people to be my partner taking care of a whole 3 story assisted living house between the two of us.

I'm also anxious about offending a friend of mine for telling her I would rather relax and play my new video game and watch tv than chat with her on Facebook last night.

Spent the day with the girlfriend, and had fun as always. There's a few new wrinkles to our financial situation because of the day's events, but rather than freak out, I'm just using it as motivation to get a better paying job.

I do not come here often. Just been having a very hard time with anxiety lately My 16 year old car needs repairs so it can be driven. I live alone and am not able to take the bus. And I do not have much money. So anxiety is high. Right now car is being diagnosed. They are taking their sweet time about diagnosing it. After it is diagnosed and hopefully fixed today then I have an appointment to leave it off at another place tonight to have the struts replaced. The car is barely drivable because the struts are completely shot. So I am a wreck. AND my regular service person at the car place retired. So I am dealing with a stranger who couldn't care less about me or my car. Anxiety is always waiting in the wings. Life is like walking on a tightrope.

Had a bad boot of ectopic heart beats today, which triggered anxiety and panic off big time. Oh and to top it all off i had filling done at dentist today which didn help at all. Not long after a lie down and im feeling much better, guess i live to die another day.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

No anxiety at all this week. For whatever reason things that would normally bother me have been bouncing off of me, and it's helped me get more done and feel more assertive.

Today is the worst day for me. My knee is twitching, I hold my breath involuntarily and my heart beat is really accelerated. And also I'm grinding my teeth. I feel so irritated that I'd like to vent to my friends but it feels like everyone's fed up with my bull crap. Lately I had to leave my therapist because he crossed boundaries and now I feel like I have no one to talk to.

I'm not thinking about killing myself but nowadays I wish I'd be dead. I feel like everything in my life is antagonizing. I brought home an injured kitten 1 month ago, he went through tail amputation surgery and still not healing properly, poor thing. I know I'm trying my best. On the other hand my resident cat is very hostile, spitting and hissing and will probably attack him whenever he has the chance (they've been seeing each other through a glass door) Anyway, I feel really hopeless trying to modify their behavior with the tactics I've learned because, well, I don't see much improvement there. Everyone is like "OK, you gotta let them together, there'll be a few fights but eventually everything will be OK" And this kind of relaxed attitude makes me crazy because how could know that it's gonna be alright. It may not, and the big one could injure the small one, even kill it. How am I supposed to be relaxed about it when trying this hard? On some days, I feel like I'm gonna succeed and if not, I'll find a solution. But on some other days, like this one, I feel lost. And my therapist... He confessed he had feelings for me 2 weeks ago and since then I'm also feeling super lost. (I'm not seeing him anymore btw) My trust is shattered. Giving up Cipralex 2 months ago is not helping either. Feels like there's a lump in my throat that doesn't let me breathe. That's all for now.
