My anxiety has been up and down today. Just a lot of stressors in my life are on my mind and getting the best of me through my anxiety.

No anxiety today so far-have pdoc appointment tomorrow which I hope will go well-want to talk with her about med changes-my anxiety is always off the hook when I see her-hope I don't have to wait a long time-that makes it worse.

A little bit nervous about my appointment today but happy to have it too, I need some med changes and clarifications on my diagnoses.

Had appointment with new pdoc this morning. I really had nothing to worry about as it turns out shes very friendly and easy to talk to. Decided to add a small dose of Depakote in addition to my other meds to help with hyperness and agitation experienced in the afternoon/evening. I hope this works.

feeling a little anxious today since tomorrow is the start of christmas and this time of year is always so hard for me for so many reasons.

even more intense thoughts than usual, double lonelyness, that sort of thing.

makes me feel sick to my stomach

trying to stay positive though and think about how many people are going to be online here and that this forum will be open for me

Feeling good day-best pdoc appointment by far. Increasing my Prozac to 30mg & increasing Depakote to 250mg twice daily for 2 weeks then 500mg at night & 250 in AM-she also wants me to take the ambien nightly for a while since my insomnia is horrific-she gave me the option to stay on the propranolol or try Buspar-gonna stay with the propranolol for now-going to go for a walk in a bit. I'm feeling really hopeful right now.

I'm nervous about tomorrow's Christmas festivities. I know I shouldn't be but I'm afraid of having to shower and it taking forever and getting ready and not getting there on time. Even though these people know I'm late for everything and it's going to be a large group. The large group part is nerve-racking, too.
I know I'm lucky just to have somewhere to go. There is also the terrifying hour drive to and from. It's all but certain that I'll have to drive us home. Phew, getting it off my chest makes me feel a little better about the whole thing...

No anxiety today, I started Delakote the other day. Not for anxiety but for hypomania with agitation and hyperness. That always makes my anxiety go up because I can't calm down and emotions are running so high but I've been good the past few days

Anxiety lessened after I took my Klonopin. I managed to salvage the rest of the day.

not much anxiety today.

it'ds the space between christmas and new year where the christmas stuff is over so you don't need to worry about that, and new year's not at least for another week
Thanks for this!
