Sounds like hormonal changes?

It could be. But my PMS was already supposed to be over unless I’m now having post PMS. But it could be the other hormone changes too.

More tired than usual .a 6 out of 10 anxiety level

Deilla · Jun 03, 2021 at 02:17 PM

I'm a little stressed. I can take a PRN, which I think I will do.

Breaking Dawn · Jun 03, 2021 at 03:08 PM

Oh, yes. anxiety, to put it mildly. But what can we do? Avoidance? My usual. Praying, wishing, using my imagination!

I'm going through a tough time right now with anxiety, but I think it might get better next week. Much of what is stressing me will be over by Monday and I hope I'll have days of calm after that.

I had a spell of anxiety yesterday which took hours for me to calm down from. It wasn't a 10, more like a 5 but that's still enough to make it hard to function. And I was determined not to take an Ativan, instead deal with it using DBT. I've had delusions that Dr Phil is stalking me and I was having images of him attacking me and coming after me while I was trying to draw.

I tried mindfulness and meditation, which didn't work. I tried watching a funny TV show. Nope, didn't work. But in the evening, I watched a movie comedy which did work. I really tried to get into the plot of the movie and it was a successful distraction.

Now I'm having my usual post-anxiety euphoria and am in a good mood. (that always happens after I calm down from anxiety.) Plus it's Friday and I'll be seeing family today which I always look forward too.

Hang in there today everyone.

A 5 out of 10. Am scheduled for a MRI on thursday morning. Not claustophobic

Painful anxiety. I really need help, but waiting till the pandemic is gone.

Ceara1010 · Jun 06, 2021 at 12:10 PM

Anxiety today a 2 out of 10. It's mostly anxiety over the possibility of getting more anxious which I'm sure people here can relate too. I've been practicing DBT all weekend (distraction) and it's worked. Hopefully the rest of today will be the same.

Deilla · Jun 06, 2021 at 12:20 PM

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.

8 out pf 10 due to losing my phone and several other things in a bag sunday afternoon. I feel like an idiot.

Ceara1010 · Jun 08, 2021 at 11:08 AM

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.

Ceara1010 · Jun 09, 2021 at 09:41 AM

Woke up somewhat anxious this morning. Will do some DBT

Deilla · Jun 09, 2021 at 01:43 PM

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

Mountaindewed · Jun 09, 2021 at 05:30 PM

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?

Deilla · Jun 10, 2021 at 01:33 AM

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.
