So painfully triggered my head and being hurt. Husband is often the catalyst for my confusion not the only but a real biggy!

I see my new psych doctor today. I’m kinda nervous. I guess if I just tell him that I try to use natural therapy before the Ativan (which is true) he’ll be ok with it.

last night I had a pretty intense panic attack because some people started to argue and to throw things

I couldn't breav

it was horrible, because even after i'd got all the windows open I was still having issues breathing

feel better today though. I ended up sitting on my bed watching my soap opera

I also shook so violently- that half the stuff on my table ended up on the floor!

I had been doing better in the past few months but it's getting bad again.
I'm exhausted. I either stay awake all night or wake up too many times and get up early. I'm hypervigilant and it seems like every little noise bothers me.
Medication is not helping. I'm seeing my Pdoc tomorrow and she'll probably suggest taking a higher dose or trying a different medicine, but I don't think that would be a solution.

Update on the new job...

Week one has gone by. I am actually doing quite well I believe but despite this I have already fallen into the pattern of high anxiety. I have intense anxiety that keeps me up at night as I catastrophise about numerous siutations that potentially might arise. I will have then done a complete workday in my head even before I punch in. And then I bring work home with me. The day might have gone very well but I have a tendancy to ruminate on what I could have done better.

I had to drive close to Atlanta, and I was very anxious. I am so glad to be home.

These days are kinda awful. I don't get a rest day on last weekend due to multiple events. It makes me feel so weary. Yesterday, my work PC was broken thanks to the damn USB. It made me anxious for the day, scared to lose all my data (thankfully they are saved). I've got to bring my heavy laptop for days, maybe weeks until it is repaired. Got so many work too. Anxious about my study plan. The great thing is, I probably just made friends with a few bus passengers. Not a good friend, but nice for a small talk during the ride.

Another work day, the first of my second week. The anxiety is far better right now but still putting me off kilter. But I can do this!

I had a panic attack at my doctor's office today.

Thank you, it didn't last too long. I hope your flashbacks subside soon.

I had that bad panicky anxiety feeling I get in the early morning. I don’t think it’s work related. I think it’s just the anxiety about getting out of bed. I can be a bit lenient with my Ativan, so I took two this morning. It decimated the anxiety. I was still moody and the day wasn’t great, but I didn’t have any anxiety after 6:00AM.

I am anxious today over the fact that I wanted turkey for dinner, and I don't have any turkey

so, I convinced myself (or tried to convince myself), that I'm going to have chicken (breaded chicken)

think it's working now, but later I know it won't.. I'll flip.

on top of this I can't find the turkey I want anywhere (I have no idea who sells it)

Sep 06, 2018 at 06:09 AM

I feel weak being anxious over a pack of turkey, but you know, it's a big thing for me..

katydid777 · Sep 06, 2018 at 08:04 AM

A little anxious today. but don't have any reason for it.

WishfulThinker66 · Sep 06, 2018 at 11:07 AM

I am now into week two of the new job. I am still anxious though today the worry is more about getting to work on time than the work itself. I am not sure why the nerves about it though as I always leave so early I end up there with 30 minutes to burn before I get on the floor. Dang anxiety. I should be able to enjoy the few hours I have today before work starts but no.

I can relate. I have cooking anxiety, amongst other anxieties. Do I have the ingredients? where are they? am I going to burn this? will it be done before I tire? etc. It's why I'm here today on this thread.

Making something I've made several times, but I haven't done it in months. Plus I'm adding a second dish and it needs to thaw and I need to prep it, etc. (anxious) I am practicing mindfulness meditation. (why exactly am I anxious) and trying to reason that I don't need to be anxious...also trying to just have a little faith. Oh it's not always easy when things are engraved in you, but this seems to help.
