I got a little stressed this afternoon about things that need to be done around the house, so I took a PRN so that I stay calm. I'm not really in the mood for doing a lot today. Just some basic things.

My anxiety was bad today along with everything else. I’ve taken 4 Xanax today. I took my lamictal, propalanol 2 Xanax and a zofran an hour ago to try to help me out. I’m hoping to hold back on my Geodon which can knock me out but only for a few hours. I’m hoping if I take it around 7 I can sleep better then I have been this past week.

Edit: the psych meds and zofran and an Advil seem to have worked pretty well. I feel better. The ice is starting to annoy me which I think may be a good sign.

Very low grade anxiety this morning. I keep hearing things and don't know if it's real and it's stressing me a bit.

I feel calm at the moment. I'm getting some work done around the house, which helps me feel good.

I can’t tell what’s anxiety and what’s physical. I took all my night meds early and my anxiety is still bad. But physically I’m not feeling that great either.

Could it be that your anxiety is more like stress, in the body, because of the physical problems?

I feel relaxed. I'm up early getting ready for an appointment I have today. Once I'm done, I can get more sleep. Going to the appointment will be a breeze.

My anxiety was kind of rough today due to my own fault of inhaling 3 cans of soda and a coffee. After my Xanax and some Tylenol I feel much better. I have some situational stuff going on this weekend thats causing some anxiety but I’m trying not to stress about it.

I've been exploring some enjoyable things on the internet, which seems to have reduced my anxiety, at least for the moment.

I really don’t want to do any of this anymore. I know it’s just post op stuff. I’ve heard you can even get post op PTSD. I just want it to pass but I start to deal with PMS in 6 days so I’m not sure what will happen then.

I'm very anxious. I have two vet appointments this week. I worry about getting the cats in the carrier. It has to be done. It's time for their vaccines.

So far today my anxiety level has been pretty good most of the time.

I panicked and then ended up dissociating this morning.

Feeling anxious this evening. About a 7. It is soothing to post here about it. Plus I'll do some DBT. I'm worried mostly about my dog who is elderly and declining cognitively. It's hard to watch.

My anxiety was rough this morning. But it was lower this afternoon. I only took 2 Xanax. The second one was cut up so I took a .5 twice instead of 1mil once. I have a weird stomach ache right now but I think it’s just heartburn. I have 2 doctor appointments this week so I can discuss things with them then.

I was able to calm down yesterday evening with DBT strategies and this morning I feel upbeat. Anxiety is about a 1, I'd say, mostly anxiety over the possibility of getting triggered again and becoming more anxious.

My anxiety is at a higher level today. Hopefully I can turn this around as the day goes by.

My anxiety is the worst right now. I’ve taken 3 Xanax and I’m chugging water to try to flush out my system. Someone, a nurse, told me in 2007 that drinking a lot of water can help rid your body of anxiety. I have no idea if it’s true but I’ve been doing it for 14 years. I called my Pdoc and left a message. I’m also 13 days away from my period. It’s a bit early for me to deal with PMS but it’s not unheard of for me to start this early. Usually though it’s the 10 day mark when things start to get bad. But if things were already bad unrelated to PMS it could be starting early.
