Angelene, I can relate to how you feel about the appointment, I'm the exact same way, but worse. I have to start getting ready days in advance. For example, I can't pack my purse the day I go because I'll forget to bring things I need so I have to pack it in advance. It's things like that, many small things, that make it such a big production now. I wish I had my old self back. I could do everything. And my outfit, everything needs to be planned and done in advance of the day I go. Mainly because my back is too bad to stand up and do all the little things like look for clothes.

Thank you! They turned out having most of my bingeing foods out of stock. Anyway I got through the delivery. Tipped way more than I could have. Oh well. Hoping your day went well too.

I have access to my classes now, so I'm going to start working on them tomorrow. I am very nervous, I was even nervous about making an introduction post to other classmates, so scared to fail, but I'm really excited and happy to say I'm a college student

Really good day today, feel good, managing all my different issues well & just enjoyed the day, smiled a lot & no anxiety in the car while running errands yay! I'm going to start taking my evening propranolol earlier around 5pm & see how that goes.

Had a good day today.

feeling so bad again, like pressure would crush me, like I would be dying and I'm scared.. can bad weather make feel like dying, weak, heavy, dizzy, trigger anxiety and panic attack?...

Blue_Bird · Jan 10, 2015 at 02:28 PM

Really anxious today, stressed about college.

I mean, I'm excited to be starting but some of the material is way over my head.

At times the weather affects & worsens both my psych issues & chronic pain so I can relate. When I lived in the south we had lots of violent storms in the spring & summer & they really freak me out. Hope you feel better soon.

was fine for most of today,

but now having this sudden anxiety for no apparent reason and it's really intense

Jan 10, 2015 at 04:44 PM

That is a horrible feeling. I've had panic attacks that are terrifying. I no long try to fight them off. I use more of a riding the wave of anxiety and talk to myself about what it is just accept what's going on with my body. I do not like it at all. The difficulty breathing, the tight throat, the impending doom, and all that sucks but I ride it and explain to myself that it will pass and it does.

Blue_Bird · Jan 10, 2015 at 05:18 PM

Feeling much better now, my thoughts were getting so irrational.

angelene · Jan 10, 2015 at 05:44 PM

I bought some things and they temporarily made me feel better but now I'm looking around at all this stuff I have and it's making me anxious. I haven't been getting rid of enough unused items lately. I also haven't been moving things out of the living room and into my bedroom where they belong.
I should probably deal with this stack of mail first. It seems like it should be the easiest.

Jolisse · Jan 10, 2015 at 07:27 PM

Had a brief panic attack today, but it passed.

Thanks Turtlesoup

I still haven't had the guts to make a phone call to my real estate. This is the second day, so I really do have to try tomorrow. I think it'll be ok, I've finally figured out what to say at the start.

On the plus side (I think) last night I finally explained to my partner that I get social anxiety. We were trying to decide what to have for take-out, and I told him no Subway and ended up admitted I get nervous when I have to make an order.

He also found it unbelievable that at my old work it would sometimes take me an hour or more to make a call. I suppose the situation there made phone calling 'easier' as I had to for the sake of the business and my job. Well, at least now he knows why I'm no good at these things...

i'm not feeling anxious today.

relieved that the sudden anxious feelings yesterday passed

Jolisse · Jan 11, 2015 at 08:22 AM

Having very bad anxiety today.

Blue_Bird · Jan 11, 2015 at 09:37 AM

Took Trazodone last night, slept very good, all throughout the night. I have been having trouble sleeping lately because of anxiety.

Angelique67 · Jan 11, 2015 at 10:58 AM

Anxiety feels like it may get worse. But I did sleep really well last night, maybe due to less caffeine throughout the day yesterday.
