Husband bought a cot a couple of months ago so he wouldn't wake me up to come back to bed. That has now stopped supporting his weight. He bought some plywood and various other boards to build a platform bed.

Went to get burgers for lunch and some guy was loudly insulting the cashier for not getting his order right. We decided to go elsewhere because we didn't want to be in the drama.

Anxiety is back down again.

I'm anxious. Struggling with my relationship and my moods got the better of me and I said things I can't take back. I did apologize, but I'm worried it's not enough anymore.

Still not getting enough sleep, even with extra Vistaril. I wonder if I should go back on Lunesta just so I can at least fall asleep sooner. My husband is in the same boat but he's almost finished with his "bed". He can take a nap; I can't because the Latuda keeps me up.
Part of it is my racing thoughts are coming back, plus my feet are overheating more.

Went to PT this morning. Did exercises for my neck and shoulders. More sore than when I started. Ugh.

Anxiety is down for the moment.

Some drama with my 20 yr old daughter happened Saturday. Since then my anxiety has been in overdrive. It’s 4:01 PM and I took a Ativan this morning. It really helped. My head was swimming and I thought about making an appt with my therapist. I’ve already cooked dinner. My 11 year old is a after school program. I’ll be taking her to a Girl Scout meet soon. I think I’ll be fine I have more Ativan and I see my pdoc next Monday. It’s just stress making my anxiety flare up.

multiple things feeding my anxiety today...

- I need dental work
- I need to contact my Veterans' Affairs case manager
- I have a requisition for blood work
- I am afraid every time I must take the dog out for a walk (5-7 times daily)
- I am afraid, I am afraid, I am afraid

Daughter's cat had surgery today. She got through that fine, but when she came out she was thrashing in the cage and pulling her cone off. Husband and I argued over whether she should be given more sedation; the cat has pain relief so I don't want her to be over-sedated.

Anxiety has been up for a while. Just glad to be home and off my feet.

My anxiety was better today than yesterday. I’m going to try coping skills. Plus I will set boundaries with certain people.

My anxiety was kind of bad tonight.

My back hurt though. It was hard to get comfortable.

I took an Advil though. And I felt much better half an hour later. So my anxiety might have actually been physical discomfort.

anxiety is high today. Not a full on panic attack, but high. I'm fighting it off, but I feel like a chicken with her head cut off. I always go to other people to like remind me to breathe. I need to talk to my therapist pronto about my issues of needing others and how to start doing this on my own. Or develop some signals for when I'm having an issue so my husband knows. Sadly, I'm always a little bit anxious, so he'll get easily frustrated with me if I do this too much. He doesn't know how much this sucks though!!

I see my therapist today. I am sneaking in one more session, at least, and this sneakiness is causing anxiety, but I'm feeling desperate.

Daughter is having a lot of anxiety today. Her cat is fine, but bored and wants to get out to the rest of the house. With stairs between the food and the litter box that is a no go until next week. She didn't get the job at the grocery store because her boyfriend is working there. And one of her friends is stranded downtown without gas money because his mother said he shouldn't get more money for seeing his friends. This rolls down on my husband and I because we have to drive her downtown (her boyfriend will be at work), and we'll have to take her to more job interviews. She may also miss her convention in August because most places have a 90 day probation period so she won't be able to take time off. In addition this means their moving plans may be shelved, because she wants to build up her savings again after paying for school and cat.

I think I'm going to make some meatloaf tonight and call it a day. Thankfully we didn't spend much on groceries.

Anxiety is high but I'm breathing through it.

I went on a train today into a different town which always makes me pretty anxious but I could deal quite well with it today. Trying to breathe normally and reminding myself that it's only panic worked this time. Also, I called a psychiatrist today. I put that off for 2 weeks but today was the day. Now waiting for him to call me back.

Some anxiety 1.5 hours before my shift was over.

I also remembered about the E. coli outbreak after I bought a Cesar salad. I think all Cesar salad has romaine lettuce?

I was wondering why the stores had little to zero Cesar salad.

My mom says I’ll be fine.

But honestly, I really do need to pay more attention. To everything.

Another terrible triggering experience in the day today, just awful. I'm a bit mad really, but I bounced back, ready to tackle tomorrow. I'm actually very tired of this.

Went to another park/garden and took more pics. Will look at them later. There was a garter snake in the formal garden so that was cool.

Day has been quiet otherwise. Moved some of my poems to another folder to see if I had enough for another book. I do, almost. Now to start putting them together for publishing.

Kids are at school, then meeting up with a friend later on. Hope daughter remembers to feed her cat.

Anxiety is still up, but tolerable.

Did some grocery shopping this morning that went well. Later anxiety started to really creep in. I took a Ativan.

I can't believe my anxiety has been so low even though I am getting off benzodiazepines and Ambien. I really think the magnesium is helping.

Today was pretty good not that much anxiety. My mood was not in the middle however. I’ve been real tired the last week.

Anxiety and stress have been high. Realized that cortisol is likely the main cause of my weight gain and why working out is hard. Ironically, working out is what saves me too. I feel a little better after that like 45-60minute walk. (I think it was that long. At least 30)
