I am feeling anxious because tomorrow, on 2 diffrent game shows, their is a female contestant

their names are rachel and michaela

omg I wish women on game shows didn't make me as anxious as they do!. I mean, their's no real reason behind it which makes it stranger.

I feel like their is going to be a storm.

that's how it feels in the air

I don't " hate" storms, but they are quite traumatic for me (childhood memories)

I am not sure if it's normal to be "anxious", about past trauma, but their you have it

I'm a little anxious this morning. I have to take my cat back to the vet. Her appointment is Tuesday.

my anxiety has gotten a lot lot better. I can go about my regular day out in town without flashbacks or panic attacks. but I still have them when I am home, or can't find a way out of what should be a safe situation, making myself feel trapped. I am still having trouble finding peaceful time to myself to study and advance scholastics and art or zoom therapy at home* and I can't function in group settings so support groups and meetups are not an option. I have also recently lost time out of the house with my dog - no more walking paths or trails or dinners with friends.

I finally went to Walmart to pickup my meds on Friday and I still feel a bit drained from it. I need to look at stretch videos and practice more grounding.

I'm pretty calm this morning. I played my game for most of the night. That helped relax me. And when I ordered groceries, I got a pound each of cheddar cheese and deli turkey. That helps me feel better. I don't have to worry about running out for a while.

My anxiety is pretty sucky today. I’ve had 3 Xanax, and stress relief tea. I also just had one diet Dr. Pepper. I didn’t have any other caffeine. I ate decently. Not sure exactly what’s up. Although I have some suspicion as to what it could be.

Deilla · Oct 15, 2020 at 11:52 PM

I feel stressed tonight. But if I could get some more sleep, I'm sure I would feel better.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 16, 2020 at 12:31 PM

At this moment I seem to have an almost zero amount of anxiety. This is the feeling that I so often wish for. I could say more, but what really matters to me right now is that I just appreciate any break I have from anxious feelings.

I've been on the longest anxiety-free run I've had in 35+ years (3 months and counting). For the first time in my life, it just feels like things are fitting into place the way they're supposed to. It's weird. Good, but definitely weird. I like it.

Deilla · Oct 16, 2020 at 02:58 PM

I've had a lot of anxiety today. Things aren't working out well.

Mountaindewed · Oct 16, 2020 at 04:06 PM

My anxiety isn’t anywhere near as bad as it was yesterday. I am worried about things. But as my therapist says they are out of my control and I can’t do anything about them. And the stuff I can control I’m doing everything I can. Maybe seeing my family tomorrow really will help my anxiety tremendously. I know it’s been a great deal of stress for me not seeing them in 7 months and wondering what their reaction will be once they do see me.

People are gonna be here in about an hour and I am a bit nervous. I just took some Tylenol because I’ve been clutching my chest all day because it’s been hurting. So hopefully I won’t be doing that when everyone’s around.

Having an up and down weekend with my anxiety. It is weird how sometimes I feel I can handle my life and other moments I feel I am struggling to do simple things.

Deilla · Oct 18, 2020 at 09:19 AM

I'm not really anxious this morning. Maybe a little stressed cause my other cat is crying. I'm not sure what he wants. I've fed him dry and wet foo. I guess I'll go check his water.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 18, 2020 at 01:15 PM

I've been reading some threads in the forum for social anxiety. Very interesting. I think it was helpful, in a way, to read how other people are navigating with this problem. I actually belong to a social group here for this disorder, but it doesn't seem to be active enough at this time. I think I'm the last person to have posted something there. Anyway, I do have this problem & it feels even more difficult lately, for some reason.

Mountaindewed · Oct 18, 2020 at 02:30 PM

My anxiety has been pretty bad today but I’ve been managing with other coping skills besides Xanax.

made08 · Oct 18, 2020 at 09:52 PM

It has been okay. I'm trying to get grounded more because even though i'm not feeling anxiety now, I need to practice.

Deilla · Oct 19, 2020 at 02:02 AM

I'm a little anxious. But I'm trying to distract myself to cope.

LionButterfly · Oct 19, 2020 at 05:33 AM

I calmed my anxiety (and depression) these last days. Boosted my confidance a little bit. I hope that will last and improve even more.

Everyday I take like 30 minutes to lie on the bed and think about a situation that made me anxious and I analyse the feelings I felt with an objective point of view, then I think how I could react next time I meet those situations. I also breath and I take more time to relax.

Im still trying to deal with the self consciousness I get when someone walks past me and I feel judged (then I try to look normal and look far away ahead and i dont blink my eyes then I get watery eyes and it doesnt help at all) this doesnt happend a lot when I walk in a forest or early in the morning. I'll also try to expose myself to situations I normally don't appreciate.
Sometimes I prefer to tell myself "just f*** do it go and dont care what happens"

I have to admit that this forums helped me a lot.
