Very anxious today. Started a new job for the holidays that I was hoping would be lower stress. Unfortunately, I am still feeling very overwhelmed with all the things I need to learn
 I feel like it is always going to be this way for me. I have to work, so I guess I am just going to have to find some way to cope... I can't quit another job.

Anxiety is horrible. I don't know why it got so bad again lately but I just can't feel calm. I'm going to take hydroxyzine. There's more I should have accomplished today but I spent about 90 minutes I could have done it waiting to call my therapist and then waiting for her to call me back. She didn't, probably because she never got the message I called.
I'm out of my mind with anxiety over the tests I have to have next week, plus missing Thanksgiving. |

Bit anxious today. I had a doctor's appointment and I got the 3rd degree just trying to get my Effexor let alone my Klonopin PRN. The doctor wants me to quit the Klonopin but my worry is that I'll be left without anything to replace it with. I'm at a point where I've got the right med combo and with therapy and meds, I've felt better than I have in years. I'm even socializing with other people!
I just changed doctors because I moved several hours away from my old doc and T. My current T is all for my med combo and wants me to stay on with all the progress I'm making. My T has written a letter to my doctor with my current diagnoses and that I need to be on meds, yet my doc acts like she doesn't want to give me even my Effexor! I'm tempted to change doctors but I'm scared that it will make me look like a drug seeker. ( Sorry for venting, I'm just really worried right now

Anxiety is high to the point of paranoia, trying to distract myself and focus on breathing. Not sure why I feel this way.

I'm tapering off all of my medicine and trying a natural approach. I'm desperate to get off of these pills. I won't be upset if I need to go back on my meds, but it would be nice to function without them.

I am managing well these days. I am taking CBT and, although just started, I find that it has benefited me already. It does require effort and daily homework though. The change has basically been having hope - a result of looking for goodness and having a few 'wins' against anxiety. My psychiatrist that is working with me for CBT has armed me with some great tools. Feel free to PM me and I can share.

Anxiety is low today mainly because I don't have to go anywhere or do anything.

Horrible anxiety again today. The hospital called to "remind me" of my test Wednesday. Before the woman would answer me she was laughing with others at some patient. I'm afraid and I still might cancel. My breathing is shallow and I'm a wreck.

One more day of anxiety over finances. I've been listening to a lot of music and working on art. Next comes the holidays, which are exciting but anxiety-producing as well. Especially going out to the mall to get stuff for the family, going out in tons of traffic, etc. Think I'll try to order everything online.

I'm getting sick of this anxiety. First of all, it's incredibly rude to call someone and after they've already said hello, the caller is still talking and laughing with other people while you're waiting for the caller to remember they called you and say whatever it is they're calling to say.
Second, how many times will stress force me to the bathroom! I'm so tired of it. Third, I don't know if I can go to these tests. The only reason I'm going is that the doctor will be mad at me if I don't. :/ |

I canceled the one tomorrow. I'll have to call them back and find out about the one on Friday. I don't know how I'm going to face the doctor.

Not a check in, and I don't have real anxiety, but it's the closest description to what I experience.
I've noticed that disagreement makes me scared as hell. I was involved in some internet discussions lately and one that really...unnerved me the person and I agreed to disagree. She said she respected my opinion and left it at that. For some reason, even remembering that just twists me up internally. For some reason I read this coldness and disgust between the lines of her post. I don't know if they're real, or if she really thought less of me for my fear on the subject. I'm almost certain of it and it terrified me. Not enough to change my views, that will take time if it happens at all. This feeling has happened before, too, when I suspect someone is angry with me, or disagrees with me. I don't know what it is I think is going to happen that's so terrible. I know I'm a little afraid of this user now because of our disagreement. Again, it's irrational, but so ingrained I can't seem to think my way out of it. |

My anxiety was higher earlier, but has calmed down since then. Hopefully it stays that way through the night.

My anxiety is terrible. Obsessive thoughts. My IBS is flaring up. I'm scared.
