Awful. Tomorrow, I've got to do another supervising job again. I hate this. Two hours for each ride, anxiety to get there on time, and I hate to skip my lunch again in process.

I didn’t really have any anxiety today. I was at work all day too.

Anxiety is on the prowl.
Just trying to keep my cool.
Luckily, I see my therapist in less than an hour.

Feeling better today

A couple days ago I posted in a forum that I was not feeling good about myself or my progress. Often I feel that I make my anxiety more permanent by not trying hard enough to develop coping skills and practice self-care. Fortunately some kind souls reached out and gave encouraging, consoling responses. This made me feel a lot better. I hate that there are so any people suffering, but I am grateful to see and experience proof that I am not alone, and that we all believe in each other, even when we don't believe in ourselves all the time.

My anxiety was much lower today after receiving many kind words.

Has anyone else been prescribed low doses of Trazodone 3x day for anxiety? I think it might be making me more sleepy. For a short time it does help the anxiety.

I've been prescribed trazadone in a low dose for sleep and it knocked me out! I can't imagine taking it during the daytime. I always feel that it's not worth it (for me) to be less anxious if something just makes me tired. It's so hard to find that perfect medication :/

Anxiety is building. I have a function to attend that is giving me some grief. Actually, it is a silly baseball game yet, for some reason, I am stressing about it. More so, is I am fretting over an upcoming job interview. I am worried about the interview but also am worried about what happens if I in fact do get the position.

so I have lost my copies of the lion king 2 and the lion king 3, and it's causing me some anxiety

I went through all my dvds.. they arn't their

my issue is that now part of me wants to trrash my collection (because it is no longer complete), not just my collection- my room.

I could buy another one, but then it wouldn't be the same would it?

if lion king 1 2 and 3 were in a big collection box and 2 and 3 are missing from that box... a new one wouldn't fix the issue- it would just feel wierd

The anxiety was there tonight. It wasn’t too bad though. It was more like this feeling of dread.

Then there’s the whole I’m worried I won’t fall asleep tonight and I have to get up early. I go through that every night I have to work. I have a good sleep schedule now so it’s not that bad anymore. I’m usually asleep by 10.

But the anxiety is still there every night.

Anxiety was present. Mostly it pertains to eating. I'm trying to lose weight in a healthy fashion, but I have a former eating disorder that's decided to rear it's ugly head.

I sometimes feel like I have too much adrenaline. I have been sort of stress lately about my college class that's going to start in a week.

I am anxious today because wait for it..

I am having hotdogs for tea, and I've actually never tried hotdogs- my inspiration came online, after I saw it and it sounded tasty

so obviously I've never made them either, so hope they are okay

I feel for you very much. I'm having the same problems. Sometimes my days are based upon whether I slept or not. I used to love my sleep. Since about 4 years ago I never get seven hours and get anxiety about even getting in the bed. Few other people understand. I'm glad I found you here.

It’s more anger today then anxiety.

This particular thing I’m anxious about keeps turning into anger. My mom said not to worry about it, but I can’t help it.

After a few weeks of Anxiety being at a low it is spiking today - at this very moment.

I have an appointment to speak to someone about a job this morning. I am unsure if it is yet another interview or a job offer. When they phoned me they asked only if I would come in to 'discuss' a position. This sounds more like an offer but still I am nervous that it might not be. And what if I do get the job? That scares me too.

Actually pretty calm today, compared to what I've been the past week. I think it being the weekend and knowing I have an extra day off helps.

It wasn’t too bad today. There was a brief moment where I was helping my manager and I was worried I was doing stuff wrong and that I was going to get yelled at. People say this manager is mean. He’s always been pretty nice and pleasant towards me. Today was no different.

That was just the first 10 minutes of my shift and the only anxiety provoking moment of The Whole day.
