I'm feeling mostly calm this morning. I have plans to sit at the gazebo today and get fresh air. That always soothes me.

I have a little anxiety. I have a lot to do today. I will update my to do list and see if that helps me organize things.

I think I have a different generic of Xanax. Lately whenever I take one it seems to make me feel really spacey and out of it and I feel high. Before they didn’t do that.

And the neighbors are playing Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb right now.

I feel relatively calm at the moment. I've been working on music all day. I feel relaxed and productive.

6 out of 10. Some heart palpitations and on edge feelings.

I started to get anxious about hearing my neighbors TV all night. But then I put my noise canceling headphones on and I'm doing better.

6 out of 10. I am indecisive and mily confused. See little reason to go outside least of all to get out of my bed or pajamas. Not worth listening to radio with the nature of news currently.

I wake up earlier because I thought I was going to get anxious and get an anxiety attack, when I didn't. I took half of klonopin.

I do feel much better today after a single Xanax instead of the 3 that I’ve been taking. Maybe less is more.

I'm struggling to get a full night sleep in my new studio apartment. I know it's normal to go through an adjustment period. But still, it's frustrating that a week in, and I still can't sleep until around 4 or 5 a.m. despite being exhausted by 11 p.m.

I had to rush out this morning with no Xanax or Visteral. I did alright though and I didn’t take a Xanax until a few minutes ago.

I can't rely on Xanax or any benzodiazepines. I have to use techniques from CBT and DBT. One thing I found helpful lately is that I will grab a coloring book and my bag of colored pencils, or I will get out my thumb piano and tinker with that. Both are great distractions for me when I feel anxious. Helps me refocus.

I'm feeling a little anxious today. Been working on promoting my music. I think I will take a break for a while and do something relaxing.

You should try CBD or edibles if you have access to either. Can your doctor help you get qualified for medical marijuana so you can smoke or eat it for anxiety? My state there's strict criteria and a long waiting list for it. I'm debating applying for myself.

I'm a little anxious today. I have a lot going on and I'm not motivated to do anything, so that is really stressing me out. I'm trying to push myself to do chores. It's hard.

My anxiety isn’t that bad. Maybe I’m just emotionless about everything. I spent 3 months freaking out about getting it and now that I think I actually do have it I’m just kinda numb about it.

I'm little anxious. My psych doesn't want to prescribe me klonopin and I don't take it everyday. When I told my therapist she said why not. I'm only asking for one refill of 20 that could last three months.

Last night I was so anxious that I went for a walk around my neighborhood and made myself talk to everyone who crossed my path. I felt better after doing that and was able to fall asleep.

I had a lot of anxiety this morning. I took one Xanax around 11. Usually that’s when I take my visteral. It helped a lot. Then I took my visteral with my night meds. So my anxiety was lower today then it has been recently I think because I switched the timing of the meds around.
