I’m up past 4 a.m. I just don’t want to go to bed, because I don’t want to face the morning. My typical morning anxiety seems like it might be worse, being the last day off before I go back to work and having to face the new year as well. January is the worst month, with quarter-end work plus year-end work.

I did fairly well the past few days while out of the house on my stay-cation. I had my phone with me, so I guess I had my main distraction that I used intermittently. I had trouble with the long drives, so I just resorted to daydreaming to distract myself from anxious thoughts. I nearly missed an exit. I wish I could just be comfortable enough to be present.

Frankly, I could have had a real vacation, but I just didn’t feel up to it. Sadly, I’m glad we didn’t go anywhere because I just want to be home.

Had a panic attack after finding out the cause of my recent severe anxiety. Will this never end?

Happy New Year everyone.

Anxious today but not as much as usual. Just some mild stomach pain. I'm stressed though, just have a lot on my mind lately.

I went back to work today after having last week off. I am surprised that my anxiety level wasn't severe today, although I have a headache tonight.

Anxious day today and the first day back to work. Coming on the forum relieved it, but that isn’t the way to get work done. It’s going to be a busy month with all the year-end reporting.

I found a roof vent on the ground, but I don’t know if it is mine or my neighbor’s since it landed between our houses. I’m worried that I might have raccoons in the attic. I have a roof inspector coming over tomorrow.

My therapist threw me under the bus after five consultations. Called four law enforcement officers (with guns drawn) and abandoned me. I never touched her in anyway but a genteel handshake. I kept reassuring her I would never harm you which is true ... I would feel less than a man to hit a woman which I have never did in my life.

If I was suicidal I would have killed myself with four officers yelling ... we know you are in there ... do you want us to knock down your door. We are coming in. I didn't open it ... felt like saying ... get a warrant. They didn't come in.

After five therapy sessions my treatment was look at these meditation videos on the internet and law enforcement which really helped my anxiety disorder which I suffer from ... don't you think!

Sounds like it was a tough time for you. Are you on medication, can you go see someone else?

Moderation- I agree with Raven, I'd see someone else. Not all professionals are like that.

I get why I was anxious yesterday - dentist appt with hygienist so close to me, hanging over my head, followed by eating in a restaurant. But today I cannot stop shaking at work, and there is literally no one else around in my office to make me feel anxious...

yes I will find another therapist this one was ... too young (2 yrs in practice) ... too impulsive ... and too affected by what her patients say or write. Instead of analyzing what I was saying and why? She couldn't handle me. I think I made her insane. I told her you know ... if you are uncomfortable with patients ... I know a therapist you can see.

Granted my conversations were not politically correct and polite but never rude ... I thought I should open up to her so she should know the bad stuff about me to plan a treatment plan to make me a better person.

Sincerely,

Started and finished a project for my home office. Like most house things I was driven to finish everything today. I would have to force myself to stop so I can rest my body. I was anxious and restless until it was done.

So now I'm sore and tired, and I still have to make dinner. Ugh. We could go out, but this is a lean month and we already bought a bunch of groceries.

I started out the week with low anxiety and a sense of control. I think it was the relief of the holidays being over. Today, after 4 days at work, my anxiety is high again. All day things were going wrong at work and I felt angry and irritable at people and objects. It's rare that I get angry...most things don't affect me in that way. A big difference from my calm Tuesday.

Tough time for the four officers with their guns drawn after what my therapist probably told them. They thought I was going to kill them ... No way my father was a police officer ... But it's like you read in the news ... the police get the wrong information and come scared and ready to kill.

I did tell my therapist I defended myself outside a bar after I was attacked by three 6'4 250 lb drunks who didn't like me buying drinks and talking to their girlfriends all night but waited until I left to confront me in the parking lot to attack me.

I warned the Boys you really don't want to do this. They laughed I''m 5'8 170 but a brown belt in karate. A bigger Bruce Lee. They started to attack me and Well after 5min they wished they wouldn't have attacked me. They were all sleeping fine. Just unconscious. Maybe when they wake up they won't do this to someone else.

I am feeling quite panicky tonight

it's been building up all afternoon- and I'm not sure what's really caused it.

I think part of it's down to losing lots of time (hours), and part of it's because I dropped my phone on the floor- and now I can't turn it on (and may need to get a new one!)

I also feel rather full because I ate my takeaway way too quickly- which I know I shouldn't do, but what ever. it's done now.

I just hope I don't have a panic attack tonight, but it does feel like I might (you know when you just know?)

Take a deep breath or two and think about all the good things that have happened to you in your life

It helps me

Relax

anxiety is currently quite low

a little bit of anxiety, but I can't really place what it's over

Hi

I have an anxiety disorder but never had a panic attack ... don't even know what one is. NOW I have HYPERthyroidism which emits T3 T4 hormones ... more than I can handle. Hyperthyroidism causes Night sweats, tachycardia, and extreme anxiety which I have. My beta blocker for hypertension (metroprolol) takes care of the tachycardia not the rest. Had to buy a medication myself from Canada to help the other symptoms.

I was already diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder before this. Now this is adding on to my anxiety.

While the therapist are accumulating their list ... Lets see ... I am:

Dysphoric, Anxious, Depressed, Guarded, Challenging, Paranoid, Ruminative, Pessimistic

next it will be Bipolar, Schizophrenia and Autism

Don't those psychologists love their jobs!
