Anxiety Daily Check-In Point #3

Thank you so much, brkn2ice. I have to move away from where I'm living/being abused and so far I haven't taken one single step towards that goal. And the abuse is just getting me more and more worn down. I'm so sorry your anxiety has been so bad too, plus the depression. It just isn't fair.

I'm not familiar with all your details but I was in a similar situation years ago with my ex , he was an alcoholic and abuser , It was hard to take that step to leave because I did love him. Eventually it got to the point where I absolutely had no choice to leave so I did and it was the best thing to happen to me at that time.

Sometimes we need to face our fears head on in order to conquer them

Thank you. This was what I needed to hear, about facing my fears.

YW... sometimes it's hard to take that step but once you do it you will be able to breathe again

feeling precariously ok. like as long as I don't stray from my comfort zone I will be okay. as long as bad things stay away I will be fine. but I have a dread that the comfort zone will be breached and the bad things will come so like I said, precarious.

The Skeezyks doesn't know if it's anxiety or what... but lately... everything makes him ANGRY!

The previous two days I have found myself i situations of being in very large crowds (1000+). Knowing about this in advance I prepared. I took a small stone - rubbed a hole in it I swear. And I dabbed lavender on my wrist to smell. Both actions I think really helped in managing my anxiety. They still weren't easy situations but I think my preparedness made them less difficult. I have a class tomorrow which I'm a little fearful of and think I will do the same.

I feel awful. Anxiety is horrible and high. I keep sucking my tummy in and having sweat breakouts. I'm nauseous and have palpitations. I really don't know if I can do this anymore. Everything is so awful.

My monitor for work, it's on the fritz. My anxiety is spiking drastically...

very anxious about everything. arguing with hubby never helps that.

I'm terribly anxious about my mental and physical health. I can't talk to anyone about it so I just cry myself to sleep, my heart pounding in my chest like I'm going to be shattered in a million pieces if it just doesn't stop.
I hate being alone when I'm anxious, and sadly the loneliness fuels the anxiety. I can't turn to anyone to vent or talk about it (even though i'm grateful i can come on this forum)
It is getting harder and harder everyday. I will probably go on anti-anxiety meds again soon, even though everyone is against it because I depend on them quite rapidly.

When you prefer to cry it out alone rather than tell people you know truly don't want to hear about it.

Anxiety can be a losing battle.

it sounds logical that an anxiety attack could be the problem. i do know myself they do exist, my husband helps me get through them, and don't let anyone tell you you're making it up. they are happenning sometimes and could cause other health problems or just mimic other illnesses as i've learned and heard of before.

I am both excited and anxious about tomorrow's visit with two of our sons. The one that is schizophrenic and beat me up a few years ago will be there and this is bitter sweet for me. I love HIM I hate his DISEASE. I fear my step son and can't be alone with him and I know that my husband would never let him hurt me again. So the victim of his violence side of me is nervous as hell and the Mom side of me is excited to see him after not seeing him since June.

Well, a little anxious today. Worry a lot about what I am going to be doing after college. Graduated last may but feel like I am not really going to be able to do anything with anxiety, fear of failure and even no confidence to get a job. I want to get my permit but no money. I guess I just don't want to hear my ride tell me to get a job and get a car and insurance before she can teach me how to drive. So overwhelming and makes me just want to hide. Not feeling successful.

I totally get you. I worry all the time too. I need an answer to these sucky feelings and problems in life so I whine online too. It helps some people I guess lol

I have had anxiety for so long, it almost seems normal.

Same. Though I do have moments when it's not as bad. And it seems worse in the morning.

Right now I feel only a little nervous.

I'm so upset right now. It looks like I'm going inpatient and I don't know why or who said I should. Maybe the social worker on Friday night. Oh God.

I was not taken. I have no idea what's going on here. O_o

anxious today but i still got my butt up and went to the gym , errands and cleaning ... My anxiety is lower and my mood is better than past few days.

I'm still mostly a newbie here, been dealing with GAD for 10+ years. My anxiety is spiking this afternoon, mostly because of work. My coworker had to leave about half an hour ago due to a family emergency, and I'm dwelling more and more on it. We have been so busy for the two of us lately, I don't know what I'll do if she needs to take more time off. I can't handle the workload by myself.

I might be meeting a potential partner soon. The anxiety is here.

That is very sound advice!
And so true...it can mimic other illnesses.

I am feeling two finds of anxiety build up rather quickly in my this afternoon. One is the same and guilt of letting my house get so cluttered over the years and now having to face it since we are moving. All I want to do today is 20 minutes in our room and I feel so overwhelmed and almost frozen from it all. I am also feeling health anxiety, my health isn't good and there are issues to be worried over but today I am having a high level of pain day and my mind keeps worrying that something really bad is about to happen. I have SLE, SLE related kidney issues, and SLE related clotting disorder and usually when I get worried I easily calm myself down by reminding myself that I have a top notch medical team, and I do, but two of the doctors retired this week kinda out of the blue so that has sent me into a tail spin. I move in 3 months and will need to build a new team which won't be easy as it took 8 years to build my current one. So I think all of that mixed in with the pain levels is really increasing my anxiety levels today.
