Anxiety Daily Check-In point #5

My anxiety is very, very high today.

Unrigged64072835 · Jan 05, 2018 at 04:51 PM

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.

Yzen · Jan 06, 2018 at 07:07 AM

Struggling this morning with anxiety and feeling depressed. so sad that the anxious part of my mind steals hours and days from me...this has to stop. I hate it.

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

What was the cause" I have an anxiety disorder too ... maybe it will help me I hate to use that word "help" that is usually when the police or doctors are going to kill you

I got through the night without having a panic attack.

and I was so close to having one.. so it's good I didn't.

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!

hi moderation

is it weird I thought you were another admin account? (you know, moderators)

welcome to the forum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_attack

that should give you some information about what they are- but with that said, it's diffrent for diffrent people (and for me, one of the worst things is not being able to breav)

I hope you like the forums

Yes I do ... they are better than my therapist who never said anything after five consultations

I hope you are better ... Be strong and overcome ... the body is a magnificent machine and can usually repair itself with a little fortitude..

Having severe anxiety and panic attacks over a surgery I’m undergoing tomorrow. Just can’t calm down. Worse attack I’ve had yet. It’s not even particularly risky. I don’t know what the problem is but every time I stand up I get light headed and my vision goes black. Don’t know how I can prepare for surgery like this.

Unrigged64072835 · Jan 08, 2018 at 04:03 PM

Restlessness has returned. It's now compounded by a cold from another family member. We're working through it, but I'm more worried about my husband since he has MS. One day at a time.

School has also started, but I think I can handle the class this time. At least I'm going to try to.

had high anxiety this afternoon.

something that was meant to come for me arived half an hour late and I totally freaked about it

now it is quite low as it's all arived and all okay

Minnow · Jan 11, 2018 at 10:09 AM

So my anxiety is low today as I took some PRN meds last night. I'm a little foggy but today is the least anxious I've felt in over a week. So grateful to have a little peace today. However, I have no motivation. So which is better being a little anxious and productive or drugged and calm? I struggle with any middle ground between the two.

Unrigged64072835 · Jan 11, 2018 at 01:15 PM

Finally starting to get over this cold. Had physical therapy today and working out in the pool there was helpful. Keeping busy masks over the restlessness.

We're getting a small treadmill tomorrow morning so the Christmas tree needs to come down this afternoon. We've been putting it off but now we can't. I still have lights draped over the mantle so I'm good there. I don't like waiting until the last minute but with us being sick and having appointments there wasn't much to do. I'm biting the anxiety bullet.

Jan 12, 2018 at 08:20 AM

really high anxiety today.

so, thism orning I got an email asking if on monday (this monday), soeone can come and see me and talk my move to this new place in febuary (remember I got evicted)

well, it took me ages to respond because I don't want to know the day (i sort of do, but knowing it will increase my anxiety) as their are other issues to deal with such as strange people/ agoraphobia

but I eventually wrote back agreeing to see them monday afternoon

I just..... hope i've made the right decision.

and I can cope with the outcome

Yzen · Jan 12, 2018 at 08:27 AM

Anxiety is controlling me today. Someone has been trying to contact me that I really don’t want to talk to, but I emailed him and agreed to phone him today to get it over with....I hope that will help even though I dread the call.

Minnow · Jan 12, 2018 at 11:38 AM

I'm very tired of fighting the battle with Anxiety. Why can't I just be calm? I have nothing bad happening in my life, just the opposite but I'm scared and confused.
I just want to relax a little and enjoy my life. Why do I struggle with this.
I'm reading all types of things to try but I struggle to take consistent action. I guess I'm looking for a magical fix instead of the hard work it takes to improve.
I tend to do the minimum and therein lies my major problem. I think I have an aversion to hard work and so I'm stuck in this crappy mood where I feel like a scared little kid.
