I have quite a bit of anxiety right now because I need to go to the store.

I have a little anxiety. I want to get out of the house today and go on a drive. It will be fine and fun. It's just the anxiety leading up to it that gets me.

I have anxiety about the coming weeks. This time of year is always difficult for me and I haven't found a good way to reframe the end of the year in a positive way and stress less.

I cant tell if I am massivly hungry or massivly anxious but I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack either way. I drank an Atkins shake with a valium. So idk. Unless I'm legit having a heart attack both the anxiety and hunger should be taken care of.

I just get easily distressed and feel anxious at the smallest thing. I have to wait to see my doctor at the end of the week because I'm not doing well with anxiety and do not want to go out to public places.

I'm a little anxious. I'm using a new rice cooker and I'm not sure how my brown rice will turn out.

I was pretty anxious all day but then I ate a lot of healthy protein for dinner and I feel better after waiting things out. Although I could still use my meds early tonight and possibly an extra valium.

I feel a bit anxious while talking to my therapist just now. It feels my meds are not working enough.

I feel anxiety but I'm keeping myself in the moment as much as I can today. I've been accoplishing small goals, which has helped.

I feel ok but I could use some of my night meds. I've been doing good without the vistril and for the most part I've been sticking to just my 3 prescribed valium.

Anxiety is always high since my roommate moved in. He thinks he's a therapist, and criticizes practically everything I do. He doesn't understand the daily struggles (and some successes) that I go through. But I need him here, regardless of the abuse, because I would be filled with fear living in this apartment by myself. I have no friends, and no way to get groceries or anything. I need the comfort of companionship, even if he is always mad at me. I take more Klonopin each day then I usually do....just to try and stay calm around him. He is so unpredictable and has a terrible temper.

My anxiety is kinda sucky right now but I think my mind is playing tricks on me and I am actaully just hungry instead. I havent actually eaten anything since 4:30 this morning.

I took 2 of 3 of my valium. I really am not trying to take any vistril. So I'll try eating since I'm pretty sure thats what my body needs instead of anxiety meds.

I need to just try to relax. Hide the scale for a few days and ignore the news and go have a mental health day after my lab work in the morning. I want to just do Christmas shopping and go out to eat. I'm not sure whats up with this sudden anxiety. But it seemed to start Saturday morning.

I'm anxious. I want to relax, but I have to empty the trash. I've been doing work. I'm tired of working. It feels bad to know that I have to empty the trash.

I am also experiencing anxiety. @Deilla, you are to be commended for taking out
the trash when you don't want to. To me, that's big.

I'm anxious about all the work I have to do this morning. I'm trying one little bit at a time.

I need to just eat properly and my anxiety would get better. I had chocolate and rice cakes all day but nothing actually substantinal and its the middle of the afternoon. I need a steak or something for dinner. I'm not anxious about anything so I'm guessing its just food related.

I do feel the anxiety & am trying all the time to reduce it with positive thinking & self talk. So I'm ok & not ok, here & there, off & on.

My anxiety is a bit rough but theres not much I can do about it at the moment. I guess I can drink some calming tea. I can't take anymore valium and I don't have the vistril anymore. Basically I just have to let it pass again.

I'm anxious about not hearing from my therapist. It's been all day and not a word. It's my fault because I expect to hear from her. It's part of my treatment plan. But that doesn't mean she will contact me. So I should expect nothing.

Basically all I've eaten today is peppermint chocolate. Which hasn't helped much of anything. But overall my anxiety wasnt the problem today.
