Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

Hope you feel better soon!

The noise is still going on and I've had a dull headache for hours and I want to relax. I really can't relax with that POUNDING in my space. The auto correct capitalized POUNDING. Sorry.

I'm finally calm and it's finally quiet. But I have to get up early tomorrow.

havent really been having anxiety now, more just stress, anger + frustration

Anxiety is getting worse again. I took hydroxyzine. I napped for about 3 or more hours this afternoon and had a very long and strange dream. Even though it wasn't comfortable I'd rather still be asleep than up facing my empty life.

I took hydroxyzine. It will take an hour to kick in at least and I'm very anxious and miserable right now. I shouldn't have waited so long to take it but I feel like all I do is take hydroxyzine these days. I can't see any kind of future for myself and I feel sick with fear and worry and doom.

I know that feeling angelique . I have my Vistaril at hand when my anxiety level is high and through the roof . I.also have my safety plan in place for when my anxiety is really bad and the Vistaril doesn't work out .







Diagnosis: Anxiety and depression
meds : Cymbalta 60 mgs at night
Vistaril 2 25 mgs daily for anxiety prn
50 mgs at night for insomnia

Hi spring2014. What is your safety plan? I don't want to go inpatient.

Thank you so much hon. I hope that things settle down for you and that you're under the care of a good doctor.

Thank you, so much! I'm feeling better now that the afternoon is over.

Thank you for this, spring! This is a great checklist to keep.

Well now I don't know if I'm getting my psych meds. The clinic NP is saying the pdoc should fill it but I never saw the pdoc, they never called me. I was told they would contact me and they never did. So now I'm on my last pill - what do I have to do now go off it cold turkey and be sick? I was so afraid of them pulling this shyt on me again and they apparently have. It's not even a benzo or anything, it's my damned ap.

My anxiety is going off the charts. I'm afraid to distract myself because I need to keep on top of the situation and keep calling them back because I don't know what's going on. I'm scared to death and I don't want to be here anymore.

After too many complications he gave me a 30 day refill. But the pdoc appointment they made for me today isn't until 10/15 - I'll have to go through this mess in another month. I'm just so worn out by life.

Anxiety should have calmed down but now I'm anxious about tomorrow and Thursday. I don't think I'm going to my therapist appointment though. It's been a rough week so far with the decluttering efforts and dealing with the prescription today.

Anxious today in response to a couple passive agressive responses I got by eaves-droppers. But then I thought- it's their problem, not mine. Seemed to help. So anxiety right now is definitely less than earlier.

i dont want to go to work placement anyway but now i worry about the obnoxous customers ive been having to deal with. i dont know how!!! i dunno why this is bothering me, ill just blank them + ignore them + stare into space. but they make me feel so uncomftable i am actually worrying about it now... and now i really REALLY dont want to go

My anxiety wasn't as bad this morning but has gotten worse this afternoon. I wish I could figure out what is triggering it.

anxious about preschool open house but it wasn't too bad just sat and didn't talk to anyone, my usual. managed to leave there and go to supermarket and post office in spite of oldest's tantrums.
spent rest of the day lost in my own thoughts, doing a mediocre job of taking care of my children or anything else. already dreading my parents coming to visit and trying to figure out a way to have them cancel their trip without hurting their feelings which seems impossible.

The noise is horribly loud right now and in very upset and anxious. It's POUNDING in my head and apartment.

I don't see why my rights are less important than some jerk that wants to listen to loud garbage without headphones. If I wanted loud music I'd use headphones. It isn't fair and I'm sick of this. I want to move but I don't have the energy or money. I'm stuck I guess. My nerves are very bad with that lousy noise POUNDING.

Blah. My anxiety went over the top this morning because the homeowner of the house where I am cat-sitting gave me the wrong door key and I couldn't get into the house. I completely freaked out.
