No mellow.

I have had two anxiety attacks in the past two months. One more severe than the other. Just when I think I have my anxiety under control, it all spikes up at once. My sleep is normal, although still re-adjsting somewhat from December/holidays. Found time for quiet today and played music

Will try to do the same tomorrow

You're not alone I have been having anxiety attacks on a daily basis. I have found a few tips online that helped me a lot. For example, I tried to minimize my caffeine intake to reduce my anxiety and stay more relaxed. Listening to nature sounds when I have anxiety attacks helped me to reduce stress as well. I also like watching the Anxiety guy on youtube helps me a lot as well.

I was watching an epsiode of Rupaul’s Drag Race, and he told one of the contestants that the contestant is addicted to his anxiety. I’ve never thought about it that way and my mind has been slightly blown ever since. Anyways I’ve been eating healthy all day and my anxiety is still ****. So if I can fit half a Digiorno's pizza into my 1200 calories then I’m going to do that instead of eating 1200 calories of rabbit food. Food doesn’t affect my mental health one way or the other. I don’t have issues with food or use it to cope and am not a stress eater. What I feel has nothing to do with food. But pizza sure tastes better then salad and apples.

Thanks, Mountaindewed--I knew there was a (yet another) reason I liked RuPaul. 'Addiction to anxiety' sure makes sense. I never made sense of it this way either, but there must be some sort of payoff, if only familiarity, right? . . . I think your point about food also makes sense. Sometimes when we feel we have to eat 'healthy,' it takes so much effort that it too could add to our anxiety.
Have a low-anxiety day (and I'll try to do the same)!

less caffeine today than yesterday, but something I can normally handle. Started to get warm, then lost the ability to think. going to see my new dog friend today

Yzen · Jan 06, 2019 at 10:16 AM

Less anxiety than I have had for weeks this weekend. Maybe because December is long past now. I'm still dealing with frequent headaches and have an appointment with a dr this month to discuss them.

That great. I need to cut back on caffeine.

Mountaindewed · Jan 06, 2019 at 08:43 PM

My anxiety is still bad. I have about 10 hours before I have to start work. I took two Xanax and two melatonin around the same time. I have no idea If that was a good idea. I don’t know if It’s a good idea to be too relaxed. I guess as long as my pulse doesn’t severely drop I’m good. I have to be up at 3:45.

Sunflower123 · Jan 07, 2019 at 05:28 PM

My anxiety is incredibly high today.

Goforward · Feb 04, 2019 at 07:21 AM

Ok right now but hope I don't get waves of it later today.

Feb 04, 2019 at 11:00 AM

slightly worried that a guy I was speaking to yesterday may have taken his life, I'll never know (it's not someone I know)

but left the chat without meaning too and he'd gone when I'd returned
