Anxiety Daily Check-In point #5

Unrigged64072835 · Apr 19, 2018 at 12:57 PM

Went to wrong PT clinic this morning. Finally got to correct location. As expected, my neck and shoulders are really stiff. TENS unit and heat for about ½ hour.

Other than that not much else going on.

Mood is okay.

Not too much anxiety today.

Although there was the whole “I don’t want to go into work today.” Kind Of anxiety 10 minutes before my shift started. It happens every day before work.

I feel like I’m asking for a lot of help at work. I’m not good at building stuff.

Im new to this thread but I decided to join since anxiety and panic attacks have become a part of my ongoing depression. I get panic attacks throughout the day and some of them are really bad. I feel a little better towards the eve around 6 onwards. I take buspar to control anxiety in general but nothing specifically for the panic attacks. Nothing helps anyways. Dont know how long I can put up with this demon of a panic attack that doesnt show any signs of going away. I feel hopeless and anxious for the future.

Today I woke up around 10 and the panic attacks started within half an hr. Its aft and im laying down hoping that they will go away. There's just no reason for the anxiety and I dont know how to deal with it. I want to be normal and happy again like everybody else. But idk will that be ever possible? Still I'll wait and keep my fingers crossed. God help me!

Hi Desiree and welcome.

Took daughter's cat for a followup. The bladder stone is still there, but it wasn't any bigger. The special diet helped with the other symptoms. After discussion with my daughter (and her searching on the Internet), we're going ahead with surgery. In addition the cat has a yeast infection in her right ear, so daily treatment for that. This will set my daughter back about $1150, but at least now she knows how expensive pet care can be.

Otherwise a quiet day. Went out for lunch and picked up a magazine at the bookstore. Came back in time for my husband's afternoon nap. It's now a daily thing and he hates it, but the other MS meds have worse side effects than what he has now.

Anxiety is manageable.

Very anxious day today. I had my first session with a therapist - ever - and I was terrified. Thus was punctuated by the fact I had to drive around and around up and down one way streets trying to find the place and a parking space. It went alright I suppose. Now someone is moving into the downstairs half of the house and I am near panicking. It doesn't help that my dog keeps barking. I don't want to piss these people off. I can't help but worry that if we do we will be evicted so I am trying to be as quiet as possible. I looked out the window and the news isn't positive. They are very young and quite sketchy in appearance. This isn't going to go well. Perhaps -hopefully - I am reading all the wrong things into this. I am soooooooo anxious.

Well I went off my anxiety meds wednesday and yesterday. Congestion cleared up, I felt like my old self again, but then this afternoon, those shiverering itching worries returned. I'm talking about the physical stuff, so I had to take again and felt better. Not sure if that was placebo effect or what, but it helped. "take as needed" were my new instructions. This is concerning, but hopefully manageable. I'll give it the one month.

possibly related. It was another sunny day (though i spent it inside), and i slept the best i've slept in awhile. I was wired earlier. I'm kinda crashing now, feeling sleepy again. yea, the relation is that it often seems like I'm anxious when I sleep well. I could be mistaken or just thinking of a few times, but yeah, possible connection. Weird though.

Not too bad today.

Unrigged64072835 · Apr 21, 2018 at 01:26 PM

Kids are okay; they are staying at a friend's house. I haven't seen them since yesterday afternoon. It's going to be really weird when they move out.

Husband and I went out to a local park. Took a few pictures.

Doing a load of laundry after my husband ran out of clothes. Oops.

Anxiety manageable. Just unusual to be gone. I have to get used to this.

giddykitty · Apr 21, 2018 at 04:45 PM

Haven't used any meds today and my anxiety is pretty ok. Will see tomorrow. Maybe I'll need it every few days until I get my mind in check. Was reading up on taking constructive critical. I feel I'm pretty good with it, but I'll admit a lot triggers me and triggers the anxiety aspect. This tip was to check and control your anxiety. Ummm...so I need some work there. I'm, eh hem, anxious that my therapists (still haven't decided) won't get me there or get me progressing soon enough and I'll continue to be in limbo with them. Sigh but at least I'm getting more aware of my problems, thanks to the different blogs and articles I read lately.

Mountaindewed · Apr 21, 2018 at 08:02 PM

Blocking out my work day has decreased my anxiety quite a bit.

Unrigged64072835 · Apr 22, 2018 at 02:26 PM

Husband bought a cot a couple of months ago so he wouldn't wake me up to come back to bed. That has now stopped supporting his weight. He bought some plywood and various other boards to build a platform bed.

Went to get burgers for lunch and some guy was loudly insulting the cashier for not getting his order right. We decided to go elsewhere because we didn't want to be in the drama.

Anxiety is back down again.

giddykitty · Apr 23, 2018 at 12:15 PM

I'm anxious. Struggling with my relationship and my moods got the better of me and I said things I can't take back. I did apologize, but I'm worried it's not enough anymore.

Unrigged64072835 · Apr 23, 2018 at 01:17 PM

Still not getting enough sleep, even with extra Vistaril. I wonder if I should go back on Lunesta just so I can at least fall asleep sooner. My husband is in the same boat but he's almost finished with his "bed". He can take a nap; I can't because the Latuda keeps me up.
Part of it is my racing thoughts are coming back, plus my feet are overheating more.

Went to PT this morning. Did exercises for my neck and shoulders. More sore than when I started. Ugh.

Anxiety is down for the moment.

Some drama with my 20 yr old daughter happened Saturday. Since then my anxiety has been in overdrive. It’s 4:01 PM and I took a Ativan this morning. It really helped. My head was swimming and I thought about making an appt with my therapist. I’ve already cooked dinner. My 11 year old is a after school program. I’ll be taking her to a Girl Scout meet soon. I think I’ll be fine I have more Ativan and I see my pdoc next Monday. It’s just stress making my anxiety flare up.

multiple things feeding my anxiety today...

- I need dental work
- I need to contact my Veterans' Affairs case manager
- I have a requisition for blood work
- I am afraid every time I must take the dog out for a walk (5-7 times daily)
- I am afraid, I am afraid, I am afraid

Unrigged64072835 · Apr 24, 2018 at 03:31 PM

Daughter's cat had surgery today. She got through that fine, but when she came out she was thrashing in the cage and pulling her cone off. Husband and I argued over whether she should be given more sedation; the cat has pain relief so I don't want her to be over-sedated.

Anxiety has been up for a while. Just glad to be home and off my feet.

katydid777 · Apr 24, 2018 at 08:07 PM

Extream anxiety because of my H's mom!!!!!!!

Cocosurviving · Apr 24, 2018 at 08:15 PM

My anxiety was better today than yesterday. I’m going to try coping skills. Plus I will set boundaries with certain people.

Mountaindewed · Apr 24, 2018 at 09:01 PM

My anxiety was kind of bad tonight.

My back hurt though. It was hard to get comfortable.

I took an Advil though. And I felt much better half an hour later. So my anxiety might have actually been physical discomfort.

Devastated by my social anxiety today. Just nuts.
