Anxiety Daily Check-In point #7

I need to do some errands today. I'm kind of dreading that. Maybe I can wait till tomorrow?

I like that approach and am trying to do something similar. One thing I do when analyzing is ask myself if was an adaptive response or an authentic response. An adaptive responses are those that we might do to protect ourselves and are not coming from our authentic self. For example, I might feel angry if given feedback at work. The anger might come from a deeper need to protect my self-worth, which is an adaptive behavior I learned over the years and not authentically me. My goal is to react more in an authentic way. I might thank the person for the feedback, decide if I should address it in any way, and calmly respond if needed.

Anyway, I am still trying to figure this same thing out. Glad to hear it seems to help you.

My anxiety has been good today.

I'm a little anxious this morning.

I’m doing ok overall anxiety wise. My therapist advised me to stay off social media and limit news to 30 minutes a day. Sound advise.

Cutting social media is a good thing, you dont need those terrible facts in your head, same for the news I concentrate only on the important ones.
It gives me less opportunits to compare myself too.

Yesterday evening I went for a quick walk around, I didnt know it was so chill at night, there arent all those people and noises, its amazing before you sleep. Fits my day too because Im usually very busy. Did the same this morning when the sun was about to rise, so calm.

I'm in sort of a good anxious mood. I'm a little excited about some positives yet concerned about what I don't know. And I feel a little impatient and a tiny bit worried about how to proceed.

I was already anxious and uneasy all day and then some random number sent an odd text and it threw me off even more and now I’m just in bed.

Yesterday I called two companies via phone for a two weeks work experience.
Spent like 30minutes overthinking and stressing while the dude at the other side is so chill and "Sorry we can't because of corona" then the second one was rly nice and professionnal and got a yes.
I see it as good progress because the other day I hesitated for 2 hours whether to call or not
This time I just told myself "just f*** dive into it" then the first seconds only were stressing.
Ended the day happily but still anxious.

I am calm this morning.

I am not calm today. I am having a bit of a struggle trying to get myself in a better place emotionally. I wish I could give more detail. I am pretty sure this is just a slump. So I look forward to that light at the end of the tunnel turning into, you know, sunlight?

I was calmer before a load of crap landed on me. However, I am fine

My anxiety was ok until about 2:30. Now it’s just bad and I can’t eat.

I was sort of anxious. today. I shouldn't have gone out.

Tired & nervous.

I am being abused by my colleagues. This week they made me feel awful

I feel fairly calm.

I'm feeling a little bit better now.

Didn't sleep well after a day (yesterday) of worry and anxiety. I struggled so much yesterday after days of doing fairly well. I hope today will be better.

covid can go take a ****ing hike

seriously: I saw someone wearing a pair of gloves today and my first thought was oh, she's going to abuse me
I hate gloves!. they make me feel so ****ing anxious

I also hate masks...

low anxiety today

actually quite pleased that all my clocks went back an hour like they were supposed to and I didn't have to do anything manually

having computer clocks are the best!

I have a lot of understandable health anxiety today. Which freaks out my Covid anxiety. I actually took a visteral for the first time in 3 weeks.

I feel calm today.

Not doing to shabby today. Yesterday was awful. Haven't cried yet today. Haven't had any attacks. I did yesterday. Pretty scary one. All in all, 5/10.
