Anxiety Daily Check-In point #7

I was feeling off all day but it wasn’t all anxiety. I took my night meds early and I’m doing ok now.

I don't know if what I'm feeling is anxiety or not. I just feel overwhelmed, worried and stressed.

I wasn’t really anxious today. I was busy all day so I didn’t have much time for anxiety.

I feel restless today. I'm not sure if it's from anxiety or something else.

I'm worried and stressed today.

I still don’t have time for anxiety. Although today I really had to use the bathroom and then I got super hungry and anxious all at one time so I ate and took my Xanax. but that was the only real anxiety I had. It was more of a restless feeling today.

I think I'm calm.

I had quite a bit of anxiety in the car today. I looked around and besides my bottle of Xanax I had my weighted blanket and a brown paper bag that had carrots in it. That made me smile because in one of my favorite TV shows someone is having an anxiety attack and the other person says “do you need to breathe in the paper bag?” So then I felt better after thinking about that. But I still took my 2mil Xanax today.

I'm a little anxious. I have stuff I have to do today and I am stressed that I have no energy.

Right now I am experiencing anxiety. I have experienced 2 or 3 panic attacks recently. I have thought I should be in a hospital, but I have to get through this on my own because of the pandemic & I have to manage my outside world by myself. I'm sorry. I'm trying very hard, & I'm better this morning, so maybe that's a good sign.

@Breaking Dawn, I'm sorry the anxiety is so bad. I'm sending supportive vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon. I totally understand. I have thought I needed the hospital too but didn't do it because of Covid. Take care today.

My heart is racing... I usually don't feel it but now I do. I am scared. Scared of myself. The irony.

Am I dumb? Do I never learn? Why do I not avoid social situations completely? Maybe because I can't even do it without panicking about social interactions online. Why do I never just shut up? I hate myself. Nobody will ever understand me... How should they? I don't understand myself either.
I am just a waste of space but I love life too much to let go.

I was anxious today but it wasn’t as bad as yesterday. I even managed to go to two crowded grocery stores and not freak out.

If I would give in to anxiety I would lead a life living in a closet...
Why give in? Why give up?
Never.
I feel like if I want to do something I will at least try. I panic wherever I am - I am neither safe at home. It is always there it has always been. Both protector and enemy. I will not only exist I will live. Covid gives me an excuse to hide from the world.
But the more I hide away the less I am used to going out and socialising.
Sometimes online seems to be easier but it is also a place where you can hurt others anonymously.
Exposing yourself, showing who you are, just being present means making yourself vulnerable.
But it is worth it.
Nothing can stop me - at least I want to believe that.
I take pride in living with panic attacks and yet doing things despite it. To get up and get back to things after calming down.

I'm a little anxious this morning. I have lots I have to do today but I am experiencing pain. So I am a bit stressed. Hopefully, I can relax soon.

My anxiety is high today. I started out feeling relaxed when I woke up and the anxiety has kept building as the day has gone on.

I drank some warm milk this morning & that helped.

I was pretty anxious this morning but I am doing better now. I'm excited about a project I'm working and I'm keyed up about finishing it. So that sort of feels like anxiety. But it's good stress.

My Pdoc said to me today “can I raise your Xanax to 3 times a day?” And I was like “um, yeah....” he must not believe that benzos can be addicting.

My anxiety is a mess but my whole life is a mess right now.

My anxiety is very high today. I've been feeling it in my body since this morning. I have been trying not to use my clonazepam as much, because my pdoc wants me to cut down, or she won't give it to me anymore. I used to take it 4 days per week, and somehow she thought that was too much. This is a hard challenge for me. My goal is take it only 2-3 times per week. My heart has been racing a lot, I feel tense, worry about everything. Plus, my work schedule changed, and I have to work 10.5 hours instead of 9.5. It's going to be a long week.

My anxiety was ok today. I didn’t need the 3rd Xanax. I don’t think I’ll need the 3rd one constantly so I think I’ll be able to build up my supply again. My doctor insisted he raise it to 3 a day. He’s a huge pill pusher but I was just like “whatever” but almost the second we got our house last night I felt a lot better. And all last weekend my anxiety was fine. Today I was eating healthy and I feel good because of that. I do believe with diet and exercise and my new therapist I’ll be able to control my anxiety without a lot of Xanax.

A steady 6 of 10 . More anxious i guess and second guessing myself and situation

I was a little anxious and stressed this morning. Most of the day was fine.

I've been drinking warm milk lately when I have had very intense anxiety & it seems to calm my nerves.
