Anxiety isn't too bad right now, of course I'm home and feel safe.

I did really really well today. I was given some birthday money and went shopping for myself for the first time in years. It felt really good to get out it felt really good to treat myself. BUT, I went super early when the store opened so as there to be as few people as possible. I admit I was really self conscious - especially when the clerk gave me attention and asked my size. I was REALLY anxious. I just wanted her to go away. But I got through it and in the end realized I'd done well both figuratively and my purchases. It was a very big day for me today

Anxiety has gotten worse today. I'm supposed to get a nuclear stress test and I don't think I can do it. I'm very scared about canceling it. And all my teeth are hurting. I'm very afraid of what's to come.

I was doing really good yesterday and this morning but it's 845am and the anxiety is starting to creep up. I have to go to the grocery store and my social anxiety makes that difficult. My counsellor is coming to my home for coffee before lunch. I've done well these last few days and am actually concerned about what she will think of this - will she suddenly decide I don't need her anymore and cancel further visits? I've come to think of her and the other one as crutches to my coping with my illness. I guess to some extent too I have come to think of their visits as being social.

I've been pretty even keeled today but symptoms of my anxiety are getting worse as the hours pass and I'm *this* much closer to what I call a make or break conversation between my sister and I. I thank her for agreeing to talk with me and I pray that the talk turns out to be a positive change in our lives. I love my sister and I don't want to lose her longer than I already have. My heart is in my throat as I write this.

Anxiety is worse because I have a scheduled medical test on Monday and I'm afraid and don't want to go. It involves being at the hospital where my worst nightmare came true and I can't have caffeine or soda for 24 hours before I go there. I need caffeine to function. I want to cancel the test but that would be a slap in the face to my doctor who worked hard to get my insurance to allow the test. I don't know what to do. Yes, I should go and get it over with, but I don't want to go. I'm very afraid.

Oh, and there's an internet outage today (and lots of yesterday) which is making me doubly nervous.

My anxiety is high today. I hate when it's like this. Nothing I do eases the discomfort.

Anxiety is very high. I feel like crying. I'm always afraid to post on here, even though I know many people are supportive on this site. My anxiety makes me think people are judging me no matter what. I just hope this passes soon.

Since I have taking ativan I have not a single panic attack. Also, I had fallen in a few bad habits I had before and I feel a little less motivated, postergating my duties more, yet I feel more happy and at peace. I feel bad for this but at the same time good. I'm a little confused

My anxiety has been extremely bad today. I was going to prepare for the test I'm supposed to have tomorrow but I messed up in every way. Now I'll have to call them and be the person that calls at the last minute. I'm so ashamed.

Anxiety was high earlier, but has lessened since then. Still a bit shaky and fidgety.

Anxiety is horrible today. Plus the janitor knocked while I was in the bathroom earlier saying the exterminator had to come in. That ratcheted up the anxiety to a horrible level. Then the exterminator said he had to check for bed bugs and that made it even worse. The place is a hoarded mess and I don't know if I'm going to be evicted now. Someone in the building must have bed bugs. I'm still really upset.

Anxiety is high, being home by myself doesn't help. Trying to breathe and stay calm.

THE WORST anxiety today. We had a thanksgiving luncheon. I totally went into panic mode. Tried to subdue it by stuffing my face with food at a furious pace. Then walked out, took a walk around the building. Returned, sat down at the table- only to feel complete terror again. So I left the room again. Took another walk.
Returned, only to be looked at like, 'what the hell is she doing?' by everyone. Comes off very socially weird. Wish they knew the terror the paralyzes me. I try to control the physical effects- but I know i was breathing heavy, shaking, and possibly displaying sudden onset touretz behavior. I really need help with this. |

As much as having anxiety stinks, I have learned to accept that this is how I respond to stress.
My personal tricks that work for me: Taking xanax before an event, Carrying small baggie with 2 ice cubes in it in my purse or pocket, I hold the ice and it calms me down, I carry a worry stone. I fidget a lot. I count things too. |

One of our boys will be coming over for the weekend and while I'm excited my anxiety has gone up because we never know if he will be in a good space or if he'll literally be in the fetus position on the floor in the hall way lost within himself. I keep telling myself that he seems to be doing well right now but it is still hard for me not to worry.
