Anxiety Daily Check-In Point! #2

That's great. Unfortunately I'll never be able to experience that kind of love myself. I'm too screwed up at this point for that. Seeing my crush in class made me super depressed today. She looked beautiful. I wish I could talk to her.

Not feeling great today. Some setbacks and stuff making me anxious. Just want it to all be over so I can live in peace.

Had a nightmare last night that freaked me out-heart pounding couldn't relax & go back to sleep. Got up & took extra propranolol & was able to sleep. No anxiety today though.

Second interview means you rocked the first one though! Or else they wouldn't have you back so you must have done real well

Hello everybody, I hope you are doing well.

I have been on vacation with my siblings and have been having a very nice time. Tonight I think we stayed up too late though and I woke up a couple of hours after falling asleep feeling very anxious and keyed up. I just took a warm bath and am coming here online to try to soothe myself though. It will pass. It will pass. I am safe. My tummy feels raunchy though which is upsetting to me. But I must remind myself that I am safe, and just because my tummy hurts a bit doesn't mean anything terrible will happen. I am safe.

Slept a little extra today, went out in the sun, had a nice dinner, skyped with my kids and husband. Shortly my sister and I will be going out to a dance club. I don't really want to go... I am 39... I am just going to keep a protective eye out for her. She wants to drink and dance and I don't want anything unpleasant or unsafe to happen to her while we are away on vacation. My brother cut his foot and it's looking infected so we cleaned it with soap and water, put antibiotic cream on it, bandaged it, and now he's resting for the night. I was feeling more sad/worried/anxious today about going back to work but I think in order for me to tolerate the challenges of my life, I need to incorporate yoga and mindfulness however I can. I must start doing it more. The kids are old enough that I can squeeze 15-20 min in somewhere. It's essential for coping with long term stresses that I have limited control over.

No calls from the anxiety beastie today-yay!

Anxiety is low today, thankfully.

No anxiety today I did wake up having a panic attack though but that was just because of a nightmare

All is still quiet on my anxiety front.

I'm doing pretty today, actually.

Anxiety levels have been up and down over the last couple days, but at least there has been valid reasons for my fears. Tonight however I'm at home in bed and I can feel the anxiety creeping up and this time there's no reason. Hope it's gone by morning.

I feel completely lost and broken inside.

newgal2 i often feel like you do, i anticipate what i can't get done, even though i seem to get things done anyway, i wake up every morning worrying if i can accomplish all the things i have to do that day. i worry about things that could happen if i didn't get a certain thing done, or if something bad should happen.usually if i can get some sleep in the daytime i feel a little better. i've been like that alot recently, it was a relief to see your post because i couldn't explain myself about the situation i'm in which is what you wrote. thank you!!!!

I did not even realise I left out a word... whoops.

Feeling ok today. I'm more sad than anxious if anything.

Bad anxiety. I napped for a short while earlier and since I woke it's been getting worse and worse. Just took hydroxyzine and it should help.

Happened to me last night. Weird since it was a sunday (here) and we didn't do anything particularly exciting and we were already in bed.

Had to do the deep breathing, counting, couldn't get my mind off it so it lasted about an hour then I fell asleep.

Went biking today. Felt it creep up when I went on a break. It was mild so I was able to bike home. Felt awesome after biking.

It was Sunday for me too, I'm in Australia.

I just ended up awake an on edge for half the night and then slept in too long today. Managed to force myself to go walk around the shopping centre instead of just sitting in bed.

Glad you're feeling good after the ride, hopefully we both stay feeling alright tonight!

I love Australia! My wife and I went there for our honeymoon 10 years ago.

Anyway, I also remember having coffee that day. I didn't drink any today. Hope that would help.

I have no anxiety today or at least right now. Yesterday I was so miserable and anxious. This makes no sense at all.

Anxiety not so bad today, either. I hope I can keep that up...

Having a panic attack right now

Hang in there. If it happened before and it passed then, that means it will pass now.

Just had one myself but I was able to kind of keep it mild because I was in a meeting lol. I guess that helped get my mind off it.

I think that's key. A mental trigger caused it and it needs a mental trigger to get us out of it.

I thought focusing on breathing would help but it actually made things worse in my case because it was almost like I was giving it too much acknowledgment in my focusing on the physical. Since I was acutely focused on my body, ANY sensation was amplified making me worry more and making the attack worse.

I guess tho that trigger points are different in all of us. Mine is the threat of a heart attack. See? Just writing it now is making me nervous. Lol. So, I need something to get me out of my physical focus.

Doing well now. I started to have a panic attack while driving at night which I never do, and then breaked in the middle of the road. I told myself in the flash of a second: if I call my daughter she will just talk me out of it, so I might as well keep driving and get home now. So I was able to drive home and get home safely.

I nearly broke down the other day out of nervousness. I breathed slow to calm down, but had to do it a few times throughout the day as the feeling kept coming back. I just wanted to cry.
But I'm ok today lol
