My anxiety is really tough today. I did manage to make it to the grocery store, walmart, and Old Navy. No one gave me any werid look which made me feel good but didn't make me feel any less paranoid. I knew what I wanted so I was in and out quickly at all the places. My med management was terrible last night. And while I'm tempted right now I know the right thing to do is to just deal with this bad anxiety now and get back on a schedule with my meds so I can have a good trip. My med management was good this weekend and my anxiety was pretty good then. Its just been bad these last 2 days. Basically its just the melatonin thats the issue.

I have started a new snri a week ago so I have been feeling a bit anxious these past few days. I think it's because of the med change.

I went for an acupuncture treatment this week. It took the edge off my anxiety. I needed it.

My anxiety sucks so much right now. I get my T shot today and I normally get it at night but I'm wondering if today is just one of those days where I put my mental health before my physical health aka diet. Basically the T shot can sometimes make me hungry which is why I get it at night before I go to bed so I can sleep through my hunger.

My anxiety was off and on today. Whenever I'd get anxious I would put on my weighted vest and it would work pretty much instantly. I only needed it for about 15 minutes each time and then I'd be ok after I took it off. I think I did this 2 or 3 times spread throughout the day.

I'm down from 3 valium a day to just under 2.5 since they are hard to cut in half. I can get it refilled on the 7th but I'll probably call it in on the 5th. My anxiety was kinda rough but I stayed home besides going to a doctors appointment early this morning so overall it wasn't that bad. Especially since I had coffee.

I guess since I was taking under 3 valiums for a couple days I now have enough to take my normal 3 full ones and make it until I can get it refilled in a couple days. Which is good because I'm going to need them these next couple days.

I've been very anxious today and highly agitated. I've just been so worried and paranoid.

At the moment I am not worried about anything. Although I only have one valium left and am trying to figure things out with the pharamacy. I can get it filled on the 7th I just can't get ahold of anyone. I have a 30 day script on file.

Also if Roe Vs Wade is over turned it could really affect me. Yet I am for some reason super calm today. So idk. Maybe it was all medical and yesterday helped. All I know is that yesterday I was a mess and today I'm ok.

Its just weird how I'm feeling because it doesnt feel like any kind of mental health related anxiety a pysch med will fix or that therapy will help. Like I am not really wanting any valium like I normally would with anxiety. I don't think this is mental health related. I don't know. But this sure is a strange feeling regardless of what it is caused by.

I'm very anxious about work. Things aren't going well and I probably won't get paid this weekend. I'll see if my client wants me to do something on Monday.

I just had my breif anxiety thought of "911" but my quick mindfullness fact checking pulled me out of it. Today was a bit bad just because my family was over and they were being abnormally obnoxious. I have my normal health anxiety as well and I've had a lot of soda with caffeine and a coffee. But overall my anxiety has improved these last couple weeks so I'm guessing switching my shots to every week instead of every 1.5 weeks is still working out

I had anxiety about leaving my house. But I knew I needed to. And once I did it was fine and I was glad I did. Now I just have the normal health anxiety which I am not sure is just anxiety. But at this moment theres nothing I can do but just wait until my appointment tommorow.

A bit anxious. I'm going to try and get some items for pick up in store so I could go out. I did not get enough sleep last night so I need more sleep.

My wishful thinking turned out to be an actual medical issue according to an Xray and now I'm trying not to have a panic attack but I can feel it happening every time I swallow which just makes me want to swallow even more. And I'm concerned I'll need surgery to get rid of it if its causing me distress along with actual medical symptoms. I just took my last valium, a bit late. Hopefully I calm down.

I just came back from the grocery store. I almost had a panic attack in there. Its way too hot to wear a hoodie. So I was wearing a Hollister T shirt and black cargo shorts and Vans and a baseball hat. No one was paying me any attention but I was just so freaked out. My arms are covered in bruises from various blood tests but again no one seemed to notice me at all. I exchanged looks with the self checkout guy but I looked at him first. I got everything I wanted but this agoraphobia sucks and I don't remember it being this bad this time last year when I was 17 pounds heavier. Shouldn't I have more confidence? My mom says I was so anxious because I haven't been eating enough but I've been drinking too much soda. I just don't get what the difference is really between last year and this year besides the weight loss and not wearing masks. But I have a full beard so its not like I don't pass or anything like that. I truly don't get It.

My anxiety was super rough today. I took all 3 of my valium by noon. I did get a medium iced coffee but I didn't sleep well as a result of the anxiety. Its just this lump in my throat I have and its causing me to borderline panic almost because I feel like I can't breathe. I didn't even bother leaving my house besides getting the coffee and I didn't eat much since eating stresses me out. Plus theres the whole self control part which goes in the ED sub and not the anxiety part of this forum. Anyways currently I'm super stressed, sleep deprived, and feeling panicky.

The anxiety is up & down. I've been reading helpful articles on the internet, & hanging out here at the forums, which helps a lot.

mild anxiety throughout the day. It is because I have to pick up my meds at two different pharmacies around the corner. I did it so it would be ready so I am nervous.

I've had a lot of anxiety lately since driving to a new state. When things get too overwhelming I just dissociate and become numb.

Very apprehensive right now, like something is lurking around the corner.
