I made the mistake of getting coffee because of a long shift at work. I had a large Snapple apple too. Big mistake on both parts. Both the apple juice thing and coffee caused my anxiety to reach heights I haven’t seen in years. I couldn’t do anything about it at work except take silent deep breaths. The second I punched out though I severely dissociated. I took a Xanax, but I felt all confused and like I wasn’t in my body. I had to make sure I was wearing the correct coat and not anyone else’s. stuff like that. I went out to eat. I felt like I was going to die. Like I had an infection or something. I realized I was probably having an anxiety attack. So I thought since I hadn’t eaten much since last night that prime rib and fries were what I needed. But I am the opposite of a stress eater. So the bread that came before the food, just caused me to feel like I was either going to throw up, or lose control. I went to the bathroom, and hung out for a couple minutes. When I got back, the prime rib was there but I asked the waitress to pack everything up and we left.
Now half an hour later I am on the futon. I have just taken a second Xanax and I am doing my deep breathing and I’m trying to stay calm. I kinda feel better. Coffeee is defiantly out now. And it was just a small iced one from dunkin too. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I can get my Xanax refilled on the 19th, but I can probably get it refilled a couple days sooner. I get 60 a month 2X a day. I know I had a few left from last month, but I just counted and I have 30 left. Maybe if I actually took it the way my doctor wants me to my anxiety wouldn’t be so bad.
I obviously am not having the issues my previous doctor assumed I would with benzos, and my therapist agreed with me. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

My anxiety has been kind of bad today but it’s just because I’ve had a couple days off work and then starting tomorrow I’m working a lot of days in a row.

Today my anxiety was there almost all day at work. It’s a feeling of self consciousness, why, also some social anxiety mixed in, but it’s more anxiety. Worry about so many things and mostly embarrassed, why did I do this wrong and then how did the person take it who helped me, are they judging and scrutinizing me. Why can’t I communicate better and explain myself and why I did this. Dislike that feeling, anxiety and worry and actually usually kind of laid back. Used to do yoga and meditation and it does help.

Work wasn’t too bad anxiety wise. I was working with people I liked. It was just slightly confusing. I did feel kind of slightly physically sick due to my low calorie diet. But I made it through work once I had something to drink. I didn’t have too many anxious thoughts. I only took one Xanax instead of 2.
So I’d give my anxiety a 2 today. It was actually the lowest it’s been in a week or so. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

My anxiety was fine today. And I worked. My anxiety sucked when I was off a few days ago. This has happened before. I feel good on the days I work and crabby and moody on the days I don’t. I guess I’m just at a loss when I don’t have work.
But then I had that anxiety attack when I worked last week and now I know that I’m just not making any sense. All I know is I’ve felt good these last couple of days. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

So sleepy today and still adjusting to working an hour earlier maybe. So tired that I feel as though I think less clearly, anxious at work some and want to a great job so bad. It’s just a tough time of year with holidays, feeling sad since dad passed in June and his birthday is in December. Feel like crying often this past week. Can’t wait for the week of Christmas since will take the week off.

Now cauliflower is being recalled. I’m scared to eat any fresh vegetables. Plus I now have this irrational fear of getting botulism from contaminated food. Why does food keep getting recalled?

I feel angry when I know what had caused me to have am anxiety if I know it just one person who triggered it vs not knowing what trigger the anxiety which is frustrated because I don't have a coping mechanism to use.
