Anxiety Daily Check-In point #6

I am trying to keep my anxiety from rising to the high level it was last week. I wish I could release the tension.

How could I possibly wake up at 7am, work all day, have a migraine, NOT take a nap, and yet I’m here awake at midnight?

My older cat is crying. That always upsets me and stresses me out. Maybe he needs food. I will try. But often he cries for me to let him out. He's an indoor kitty.

I feel okay. Inquisitive about my new reality, but okay. Probably gonna practice some DBT to help me drift off tonight.

Very, yet not anxious. I can't explain what I feel.

I feel calm and relaxed this morning. I just got through listening to a motivational book on Audible.

I'm anxious and I was trying to sleep. Now I don't want to go downstairs and get a medication.

I can’t really tell what’s anxiety and what’s not today. the lawn guys were here and someone else is doing lawn work. I could just have bad allergies today. I just took 2 Xanax.

My anxiety is really bad tonight.

I'm a little anxious this morning. My sister asked me to draw her a cat and paws. I feel pressure and I'm already busy enough.

Another decent day in the books....

I feel pretty calm this morning.

I took Ativan before falling asleep. It has worn off and I still would like to have another 3 hours of sleep. But I don't feel like sleeping. Because that would bring the time with t sooner. Then again that doesn't work that way. Time passes either way.

You know your anxiety is bad when the cat sneezes and scares you.

Just trying to fall asleep and had a disturbing dream with some disturbing thoughts that felt rather intense. I feel more awake, but my anxiety is making me question WHERE these thoughts are coming from! Just trying to take some deep breaths and take it all in.

Edit: things are so hard without you here, mom. Nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing. I have to do redo everything. I miss you so badly.

I'm a little anxious.

doing pretty well anxiety wise

actually in too much pain to care about much else

what are you anxious about?

want to talk about it?

I feel anxious at the moment and start to get a bit sweaty. I was doing homework online, but I think I would take a break. I have to go to Walmart tomorrow to pick up my meds, hopefully it goes okay.

I only took one Xanax today. So it wasn’t terrible. I have control over food most of the time, but man if my doctor ever decides to take me off Xanax I am in huge trouble.

@raging vortex thanks for asking! I'm not sure what I was anxious about really. Maybe my upcoming appointment on Monday. But I feel better about it now. I rescheduled another appointment I had during the week, so that made my week feel less overwhelming.

Sorry you're in pain. Do you practice mindfulness? Sometimes that can help with pain. I hope your day goes well!

thank you for the tip

and: good luck with the appointment. always here for you should you want to talk about it

Thank you so much!

I'm feeling calm this morning. I am listening to ocean waves, which is really helping me.

My anxiety is kinda sucky today.

My anxiety / paranoia / whatever has been a lot better lately. Very overwhelming emotions today, though. We had friends over yesterday and although we broke social distancing I definitely realized how much I missed my people. Grieving + quarantine are not a good mix.
