Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

Can't wait to ask my doctor for a benzodiazepine next Wednesday.

i wish i could find a good way to control this anxiety. deep breathing and meditation do not help; neither does mindfulness. or counting, or trying to distract myself, or talking, or, or... nothing. only thing that helps is a bit of alcohol, and i have to keep nursing it throughout the evening, or the damn anxiety comes right back. it takes me by the stomach and squeezes. napping also passes the time, but i can only nap so long. i cannot nap my life away, unfortunately. i also do not want to end up an alcoholic, like my parents. it would be easier if i lived in a better environment. sigh.

SPG what ever happened to the idea of moving in with your Aunt? Could you still do that and get a job? Forgive me if you already posted about this.

it's not my aunt, i was going to be my sister. but her trailer is infested with bedbugs. i'm working on finishing school right now, but it's going so slow and i don't know how to deal in the meantime.

That's great about finishing school! There's progress then. I know it feels horribly slow though. Just hang in there.

Had another boring day. Anxiety was minimal. Still looking forward to my appointment.

For me, distractions only help a little. I take something for it when it gets to a 2 on my mood chart. That helps a lot.

Derealization, is that you? Anxiety, damn you. This nausea I'm experiencing is making me anxious.

For most of the day my anxiety was mild and handled by distraction and meditation but then out of the blue I had a panic attack and took my meds. Doing better now an hour after meds feeling very relaxed and hoping that I can sleep well tonight without my anxiety and mind racing getting out of control.

Consumed by doubts and anxieties for most of the day. Went with my bf to happy hour after his work, I got a little drunk and he got very drunk, and I quizzed him on whether he is hiding anything from me. He said that his main issue is with my temper. Also, that as his mental health has gotten better, he is less tolerant of craziness in a partner. He fell asleep early and now I'm here trying to make sense of the fact that the imperative to be less crazy is making me more crazy.

i hate to see my son suffer too, he has gad and sad and depression. it is so painful to know this but he is on new meds and seeing a doc.

Been feeling stressed about school. And thinking bad thoughts

Avoided a panic attack. Will be manic all weekend for sure because I'm at a workshop.

My cousin and I spoke about her anxiety and possible depression. Let her know that I was there for her. Nobody deserves to suffer through this alone. Anxiety can be absolutely terrifying.

I have to go out tomorrow which involves taking the bus. I'm anxious, but I'm not feeling as anxious I thought I would be. I'll see how tomorrow goes.

Took a klonopin. Anxiety better

Went to my grandparents house today, and of course, I panicked for half of the ride. I swear, I'm just [riddled] with anxiety. On the bright side, I am back home. I am counting down the days to my appointment & hoping for the best. Sometimes you can surprise yourself when you make it through something that you thought you never could do.

Feeling anxious over a loss of a friendship. Daughter needs her appendix out so worrying about that as well.

Sorry to hear about your loss. What is worrying you about your daughters surgery?

Feeling okay today, even if my stomach and back are hurting.

Went out today...besides having a little bit of anxiety when the bus driver got into an argument with a passenger it was actually kind of a fun outing.

i feel anxious for no reason, its just there as usual. i will take my meds earlier than usual to see what happens.

I'm anxious about driving for two hours tomorrow.

My appointment is tomorrow and I am beyond ready. Hoping that they don't try another SSRI/SNRI on me again. I [hate] how those make me feel.

Anxiety has been kept at bay this far today. I can do this. I am determined to have fun this weekend when I visit my cousin's house for a family reunion.

I've been fairly relaxed most of the day. Then I started thinking about tomorrow and all that I have to do and started to get anxious. Then I remembered I forgot to take my noon klonopin. I need to stop forgetting my meds. They don't work if you don't take them.

Had my doctor's apt. today & was put on Buspar. It made me feel weird at first, but now I feel mellowed out.
