Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

Mountaindewed · 05:10 PM

My anxiety seemed ok today it was more depression.

Now I'm feeling anxiety. I guess I'll take my sleep med now since it has a calming effect to it.

A mixture of sad feelings & anxiety.

I got out to have my blood drawn today. I put it off for 2 weeks out of fear of COVID. I've had all 3 shots. Still I hesitate to inhale when I'm near anyone.

This is getting real old.

@Rose76 - I struggle in the same way. I've been isolating/shielding in place for almost 2 years now. I just canceled my eye appointment, even though I'm triple vaccinated with Moderna (all full doses) and wear N95 or N99 masks with another mask on top. It is getting old.

Hang in there.

I've had to deal with getting blood drawn and other things during this pandemic, including dealing with neighbors who never mask.

I try to dump my trash and get mail early in the morning, before people wake up to walk their dogs even. It's not an easy lifestyle, but I'm making it work.

Bad sleep equaled to a ton of caffeine which then equaled to a lot of anxiety which then led to some unhealthy behaviors and now I'm just kinda numb.

Deilla · Jan 06, 2022 at 03:40 PM

I'm trying not to be anxious.

Yzen · Jan 06, 2022 at 05:19 PM

I was able to have 3 days this week with low anxiety! Today was not so good. I made it through the day and am hopeful for tomorrow.

Mountaindewed · Jan 07, 2022 at 02:44 PM

My issue today seemed to be that I legetimetly needed to eat. Not stress eat. Just eat normally. After I had a mess of a morning with my anxiety and my mom telling me to be careful with my valium I ate two 80 calorie 17 gram protein each tuna pouches and I feel much better anxiety wise now.

Some days are bound to be harder. Sometimes there are monkey wrenches. But I keep experiencing inbetween places of hope & new ideas that help me. At the moment I have to wait through one of those tough intervals.

Rose76 · Jan 07, 2022 at 09:55 PM

Mostly, I'm in the house by myself hiding from COVID. I can't keep doing this. I figure the next few weeks will be the peak of the surge.

Even when the "surge" winds down, there will still be risk. Being around people is going to involve some risk probably for years to come. That really bothers me. I'm retired, so I'm not forced to leave my home to go to work. Instead, I can stay here feeling safe. But this is not how I planned on living when I retired. There were so many things I looked forward to doing. A lot of those things aren't even available to do.

I'll worry about COVID every day from now on. My health is quite decent, but I've had pneumonia twice in my life. I never smoked, but I'm prone to getting very sick when I contract any respiratory illness. Weak lungs run in my family. So I worry I might not recover from COVID as easily as a lot of people manage to do. This anxiety about COVID is taking over my life.

downandlonely · Jan 08, 2022 at 03:53 AM

I contracted a mild form of Covid (Omicron I believe) and my symptoms were not bad at all. I feel that I have fully recovered, but am unfortunately still testing positive. Luckily I was triple vaccinated. I am, however, stuck in a foreign country due to the positive Covid test. I'm handling it better than I would have expected. A couple of years ago, if this had happened I would be freaking out.

I can so relate to everything you said. I'm not retired, but I might as well be. I've been disabled and now have no way of rehabilitating. I've been sheltering/isolating for nearly 2 years now. I hold many similar fears as you.

I hope you test negative soon, and I hope you can return home soon. I'm so sorry you are stuck in a foreign country.

My anxiety sucks today. It seems to be just straight up sucky anxiety. Possibly from an entire pitcher of matcha iced tea. I've had my valium. I'm wondering if I should just take my prescribed Geodon early and just say F whatever side effects happen as a result.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 09, 2022 at 05:11 PM

I have quite a bit of anxiety, & it's so frustrating.

made08 · Jan 09, 2022 at 07:09 PM

A bit restless today. I did not sleep well last night but also my dad tested positive from Covid two days ago from his work and he is fully vaccinated.

chaosunicorn · Jan 09, 2022 at 08:44 PM

Had not-so-great anxiety day. Starting to feel like a group of my friends are tired of me and starting to pull away. I can't tell if it's real or if it's just my perception of myself that I am projecting onto them. I've had this happen to me before, and I always get so paranoid that it's going to happen to me again. I'm fairly certain it's all in my head, but there will always be that tiny, nagging part of my brain that will think everyone secretly hates me.

Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Yzen · Jan 09, 2022 at 10:52 PM

Hoping to stay calm tomorrow and keep the anxiety under control. It could be a great week.
