I talked to the person that was wanting to contact me. I feel a slight relief. It is strange how certain situations can ramp up the anxiety. The situation might even be as simple as having to talk to someone that 'feels' like a threat. The person I talked to was nice to me. I think I was overly worried about being embarrassed by the topic he was contacting me about. I did feel some of that and some worry about his judgement.
I have to learn to stop letting fear of 'judgement' and embarrassment stop controlling me. How do you learn to let go of that fear? |

Been feeling restless today .. like I can’t sit still. Ugh it’s irritating !! I don’t have any anti-anxiety meds because the clinic I go to won’t fill my prescription for Ativan even though its the only thing I’ve tried that works. I’ve tried Buspar, Hydroxyzine, and Gapabentin but none of them ever helped. So I have to wait until the 22nd to see my pdoc and see if he will push the prescription through. I doubt he will.. he will probably tell me to keep trying the Hydroxyzine.. but it’s been a few months that I’ve been on it and it doesn’t work 😑😑

Yesterday was a doozy. Our "small" treadmill turned out to be over 200 lbs! We had a heck of a time getting it down to the basement. My husband and I are so sore. I kept apologizing for buying such a heavy piece.
Had another early morning. Finished my homework for the week. Probably will chill out for most of the day and maybe take a nap. My anxiety isn't bad but will know more later today. |

Daughter's boyfriend lost his bearded dragon this morning. He had it since he was nine or so, and it was old. He was really upset and touchy, so we're all trying to soothe him and help him out. He went to work early to get his mind off of it, but we know how it goes. I'm concerned I may have some rebound anxiety that I sometimes have when I'm taking care of other people in crisis. I seem to be okay for the moment.
Other than that and pushing a bunch of snow off the driveway--I would say it was a quiet day, but it just hasn't. Made muffins for breakfast because there's no way we were going to risk our necks (and only car) out in this snow. |

Still the waiting game.
In the meantime my military disability benefit was approved. I am really anxious - and shouldn't be. What if they deem me not sick enough to have been awarded it? I worry about the walk to the meeting. The sidewalks are sheets of glare ice. I have boot krampons but am still terrified to go out onto the street. |

My anxiety has been pretty good today, only flared up when I had to go grocery shopping by myself a few hours ago. I tend to panic a little in public if I'm alone.. but that feeling is gone now that I'm home. I did manage to walk to the gas station by myself today though. It was mainly just cold and my anxiety was only hightened when I was walking there. Mainly because it was icy and I was scared of embarrassing myself by slipping and falling or that a stranger would try and talk to me. I'm really nervous about people I don't know. But thankfully I didn't fall!! I slipped a few times but that was it. Overall, it was a good day for my anxiety.

Emotional rollercoaster day, so that hasn't helped the anxiety.
Hope that I'll settle down here soon. |

Well today was a good day for my anxiety considering I didn't wake up till around noon then fell back asleep for 4 hours at 1-2 pm .. so most of my day I was asleep. I had a hard time sleeping last night though, I felt wound-up .. had to take a Seroquel to finally get some sleep. I think the Seroquel is why I was soo tired today though, so I'm going to try and skip it tonight. If possible. Overall though my anxiety hasn't been pretty bad these past few days. I get worried though because I'm scared it will all come back at once then I'll panic and I don't have any PRN's for my anxiety anymore so I'll be a mess.

Doing better today, though I've been munching on carbs all day after my physical therapy session. I did some aerobic work as well, so that may be why. I have to get labs done tomorrow for my pnurse and this probably won't help my blood glucose any.
My daughter went to our community mental health center to make an initial appt. for her depression and anxiety. They told her to come back as a walk-in and she panicked. I managed to calm her down and made a plan for next Wednesday in case she wants support from us. She could call as well but she has bad phone phobia as well. It's amazing how I can be so calm for my family while the inside of me is churning like a tornado. |

Husband now has pinkeye as well as a sinus infection, plus a fungal rash on his leg. Poor guy.
Did get some homework done before I take my first exam. I have 4 exams plus the final. My professor is allowing us to work ahead, so I'll do that. Also picked up my meds and got labs done. Feeling pretty calm with a bit of background worry for my hubby. |

my anxiety has been on and off today.
it's been one of thiose days where I'm okay for a while, then get anxious over nothing in particular, then I'll be fine again, and so on. I hate when I get anxious over nothing. it always makes me confused.. I mean how can you be anxious over something if you don't know what's making you anxious? |
