Anxiety Daily Check-In point #6

I'm a little anxious this morning. I have a doctor's appointment today. I don't really want to go. I wish I could just phone in for the appointment but they want blood work. I'm really getting annoyed with my doctor. I'm rebelling by not fasting. She'll just have to deal with it. I don't care.

You are lucky. I ate one starburst and accidentally told my doctor and she flipped out and started yelling at me about how she couldn’t do the blood work. For one starburst? Really? I’m glad I don’t see that doctor anymore.

I’ve been waking up every. single. hour.

yesterday I had another panic attack. it was over a phone conversation I need to have on friday (I hate phone conversations)

today, as well as being anxious about that, I am anxious about a couple of my friends going for their coronavirus tests (I really hope it goes well for them, I will speak to them later and see)

anxiety all round today I'd say

My anxiety is pretty sucky today. It’s still manageable though. I’ve still only taken my visteral today. I haven’t taken any Xanax. It’s not PMS anxiety. I don’t feel like I’m going to lose control. Although I haven’t felt like I was going to lose total control in years.

Today sucks. Meds for anxiety are doing nothing!!! Why do I keep taking them? I need to do the work to get my life back. And yet I can't. I'm scared.

I started having a panic attack and thinking seriously about buying a new e-Cig. Then I thought I really need some Nicorette gum. That helped calm me.

My anxiety was moderate today.

my anxiety was very bad yesterday- including getting too hot because I was getting too anxious over things.

still a little anxious today too over stuff (and in pain)

some good news is that those virus tests my friends went for were negative, they don't have it

I'm fairly calm this morning. I've been doing retail therapy.

buy anything good?

baught a few cds recently from amazon.

will be nice when they arive

My anxiety was sucky but a Mountain Dew calmed my nerves. Which seemed like the opposite so I wonder if I was having caffeine withdrawals. I hadn’t had any caffeine in over 2 days.

Lots of anxiety over having to go to dentist. I am terrified

I’m pretty sure what I had yesterday was just really bad allergies and bad anxiety as a result of the allergies. I feel fine today.

Woke up with anxiety in the middle of the night again. Shocking. Not complaining really since I had a few good week or two of sleeping relatively well with no major inconveniences. I’ll try to practice some mindfulness to rock myself back to sleep.

@raging vortex nice! I hope you enjoy the new music. I bought some beauty products. I decided I would work on a new look. I even bought all kinds of make up. I haven't had make up in many years.

Today I am doing well. I feel calm and relaxed.

@missbelle sorry you have anxiety over the dentist. Yea, going is never any fun. I hope you do well and that your appointment is a good one.

thanks.

one of them is the 2020 eurovision song contest (I love eurovision!)

the other one is british legends

singers and groups that started their career in the UK

I can't remember the last time I went to a dentist

I hate the things

Anxiety of 7 out of 10 .doesn't feel like a memorial day weekend plus I work on holiday at supermarket like any other monday.

Going to the dentist makes me anxious too. I hope your appointment goes okay.

My anxiety isn’t really the issue today. I haven’t had any of my anxiety meds and I’ve had a lot of caffeine.

My anxiety has been moderate again today.

no anxiety today.
i don't even have any phone calls that I need to make

yay, always good. I hate phone conversations

Hi Mountaindewed,

I deal with my anxiety with a good amount of daily exercise. Inside exercise-I have a treadmill at home...currently I'm waiting on the gyms to re-open with restrictions. The gym provides a distraction from daily life, it is also motivating because everyone at the gym is there for the same thing. Also, I take many outdoor walks throughout the day and enjoy the beauty of nature...this is very calming. It's a matter of the mind focusing on the beauty of flowers, trees, plant life-it's sort of like meditation. It's a matter of finding what makes us happy or what helps you focus on something else besides the anxiety, music, hikes, gaming etc...
