I'm glad that is helping. Iced coffee helps calm my nerves.

Today I am fine. I feel calm.

I’m feeling ok today. Things are a bit nerve wracking with the house situation and I’ve had a lot of caffeine but I don’t feel too anxious. I took a Xanax with my Geodon this morning at 7 and often I take my Geodon at 1AM. What time I take it does make a difference in how I feel during the day.

My anxiety was so so today. The increase in Xanax is helpful because I spread them out throughout the day. Also because of the increase in Xanax I don’t need to take my Geodon so early. once the unisom kicks in that’s when I take the Geodon and go right to bed. The increase in Xanax and unisom have helped in several ways.

I took all 3 of my Xanax today. Right now I’m starting to feel better after that last one 15 minutes ago.

My anxiety sucks today. I’ve taken 3mil of Xanax, I haven’t had caffeine besides Pepsi, I just took an hour long nap, and it’s still bad. I think I’ll go take another Xanax. 4 won’t kill me.

Please be careful. That's the same line of thinking I had when I got hooked on high doses of Klonipin. It's very difficult when one day you wake up and your doctor decides to pull you off of it. It's a very dangerous and difficult road once you have to withdraw. I almost died. A car ran over my head because I didn't know what I was doing. Just from withdrawal. I only say this because I care. Stay safe.

Thanks. I know withdrawals can be bad and I do worry that my doctor will put it. But right now he’s saying to take 3 a day. So I guess I’m just doing what’s prescribed. I don’t think I’ll need all 3 today. I haven’t taken any yet.

If he does take me off it I have a lot of Ativan to switch to and then slow taper off of that. That’s always been my plan.

I have some anxiety that doesn't seem to want to go away, no matter how I try to calm it. But, like I tell myself, it could be worse & I'm glad it isn't. So I think I have a pretty good mindset. Also there is quite a lot for everyone to deal with right now, so I consider that, too.

I'm a little anxious today, but it's tolerable. I have some chores I have to do that are difficult, so I worry about doing them. I'll feel more relaxed once they are out of the way.

I didn’t really have any anxiety. Just a lot of depression. I am anticipating a call from my surgeon to set things up. I got invited to go to a very fancy restaurant and I said yes. Everyone I know eats at restaurants now and since this is so high end I’m sure it’s very clean and hygienic.

Today was housecleaning day. My job is vacuuming. I'm always pooped out by the time I'm done. And the more poopered I am the higher my anxiety level. Plus, I always experience increased anxiety in the late afternoon anyway. So I expect to be in tough shape as evening comes on today.

I have a little anxiety going on. I guess it's mainly from stress. I'm trying to get things done. I'm sure if I practiced some mindfulness, I would feel better. It is what it is.

I felt kinda weird this afternoon. But this morning I was fine going to the stores. I took all 3 of my Xanax and after that 3rd one half an hour ago along with my 100 mil of Geodon I feel so relaxed right now.

I haven’t had coffee in a couple days. I feel like I actually do better when I’ve had coffee. Especially right in the morning. Today was tough with my anxiety. I couldn’t get out of the car to go into any store. But it wasn’t just anxiety that I was feeling.
