the last few days my anxiety is been through the roof and I find myself gasping for air when my panic attacks strike I have been trying to get ahold of the nurse that works with my psychiatrist but with little luck.

I am already on a ton of meds but I great feel as through I need as needed anxiety med for when these larger then life attacks occur. I am gonna also do some research into medical cannabis and see if it could be beneficial for me to invest my time into.

but I am starting off the day clam. Gonna see if I can do some meditations after taking meds and breakfast.

I was doing ok but now I’m very anxious. I just now took my Geodon. So I’m trying just to relax. I had some soy milk with my meds. So I’m hoping to be able to relax and go to sleep.

I’m managing with just my one Xanax XR so far. I tried cutting it in half, well my mom did, and even with a huge butcher knife she couldn’t do it. So I’m kinda like “I don’t know” about how to handle my anxiety. My Pdoc called in the wrong Xanax. He called in the 1mil XR for once a day when it should be 1mil medium release twice a day. I have some .5 I’ve been taking in addition but I’ve been taking a lot of those. And I mean a lot. Some people turn to food or alcohol. I turn to anxiety meds.

I’ve been managing these last 2 days with just the one Xanax XR. I cut down majorly. I’ve been reading a lot. Also I’ve only been listening to music when I exercise in the morning instead of at night. So I don’t get the sudden panicky feeling I get at night from listening to music.

I’m doing ok today. We had a painter here for several hours and he had his mask below his nose and coughed and sneezed a couple times. Also I had to get past him when he was on the stairs and instead of moving he slid over a bit and he was a big guy and I had to get past him and without touching the walls. So basically I brushed into him quite a bit. That was the reason I stayed in my room for 2 hours. Was to avoid him. But whatever.

Also at one point my family had the TV on and he came over to watch it. Kinda strange but my mom wasn’t bothered.

I’m honestly not very anxious or stressing over much of anything. What happens happens in my opinion.

No anxiety, none at all, just listening to freezing rain and what sounds like a tree limb possibly falling on the ground, could be ice pieces falling too. My dog stresses me out since he barks at loud noises.

I feel a little anxious. But it's over something I have no control of. I just have to be patient and wait it out. It will all work out in the end.

One thing I've noticed is that noticing the absence of anxiety is nice. I mean to recognize when you're not feeling anxious is just as valuable as noticing when you are anxious. Hopefully that helps someone sometime.

Anyway, I feel anxious right now becuase I'm not sure if I should do an intensive outpatient program for my depression and anxiety right now. And I don't know how I would pay for it if I were to do it.
