my first time here i'm actually schizoaffective but with panic and anxiety. I just realized that before the end of the month i'll be out of my klonopin and had to cut pills to make it though. there was a mix up at the pharmacy but my doctor said to finish what i have in my bottle before I get my new script filled. I get trembling hands and eye twitches and a flight or fight response. my brain rebels against me, causing me headaches and lack of sleep. I have been taking care of myself. showering, shaving, doing laundry. I wish I could read but I just don't have the ability to focus now.

I hope you all are doing well or at least coping for the moment.

Been trying to learn one of the new programs I picked up for Christmas. It's rather complicated. I don't know if I can get my brain trained enough to go back to college, pick up on classes and take tests. It's not until this summer at least so I hope to get somewhere. This lack of figuring things out is increasing my anxiety.

I'm so sorry you're going through all that. I was forced off Klonopin a few years ago, and I know how hard it is. Anxiety Daily Check-In Point #3

I'm currently dealing with a lot of anxiety about life in general. Nothing is really going badly, but I focus on the bad stuff anyway. From the outside my life seems like it should be pretty good and I have a lot to be thankful for. I just can't get my brain and my heart to be happy about any of it. They just want to worry about the minor problems.

First time on this thread... Been struggling a lot with my anxiety lately. It hasn't been this bad since I was a kid. I've had to start "self medicating" to keep it under control. Had 4 major panic attacks in the past month, and there's no sign that things are getting better any time soon.

Today was a typical Monday for me. Awesome. I go from a weekend spent alone with nothing to do but think to a day full of people and work to do. I don't have time to worry about anything.

Presents started coming in today. The rest will be here Thursday. Trying to get things done without prying eyes will be a challenge. Trying to keep calm about things. I saw my therapist today and talked about it for a while.

a tiny bit anxious today because I ordered a pizza from a diffrent place, 1 i'm not used too

and it has, "extra cheese", even though the actual topping is meant to be meat feast- so a little anxious i'll absolutely hate it, but not enough to make a mess of things.

My anxiety has been bad, especially during the week. I feel nauseous almost constantly. I can't eat at work, I just have no appetite anymore. I know it has to be stress and anxiety. I've made myself sick because of this recently, and it feels the same way every day.

Was supposed to see pdoc but husband put down the wrong time and I missed it. Will see her next week, though. So that worked out.

Was trying to control anxiety from being in the car, in traffic, in the rain. I know it will be soon when I'll need to drive again. I'm worried about that.

Other than that a typical quiet day.

Got the final presents in for my husband. Talked about what to get for stocking stuffers. Neither of us have a clue. I finally got him something but I couldn't give him an idea of what I want. I don't want candy since I'm trying to lose weight. Oh well.

Been busy today taking stuff to Goodwill and running errands. Keeps the anxiety away so far.

Would you like a few little bottles of nail polish as a stocking stuffer? You could drop hints about what colors you'd like.

Just suggesting because things like that are fun for me, liking to see it in the bottles as well as on my hands lol.

I went out for another walk today, as yesterday. Yesterday I felt anxious because it was my first walk after weeks, because it was cold outside. So I thought "what if everyone will watch me? Maybe i'll meet someone, I'll say hello to them and my voice will be weird". My anxiety passed while I was walking. Today I went out and felt less anxious than yesterday. Plus walking is a good thing for me and makes me feel something for a while.

I have been walking too. And, I have been doing some strength exercise. My anxiety has been high for the last few weeks so I hope the added activity is helping. I am tired of anxiety and wish I could take a holiday from it.
