Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

Well things are weird right now. My big task has been looming for some time and I've been putting it off because I thought it would not work out. For some reason, today, I decided to take a couple small steps to get that done. I went to one place and they basically said, "Yeah, your worst case scenario is what's going to happen." I freaked out. I assumed that my life was over and that this was the end. I called the vet to check on my dogs vaccination status for kenneling. Then I actually started to feel calm because I knew that what I had assumed was going to happen was going to happen. Clean up my life, get my dogs shots updated and be ready for the end. BUT! I texted my friend who had said they thought it would be easy and they calmed me down and offered other options. So, I went to this other place I do business with and they let me do exactly what I wanted and didn't raise a fuss at all. I wasn't even planning to have my big task done today, or even next week, but here I am, with it completely done. I need to wait for it all to finish out, but by next Friday, things should be OK. Really couldn't have been easier at the second place.

This was literally the difference between living and dying for me. I don't know why things have to be so difficult, I guess to prevent people from making poor choices, but sometimes that's all you're left with.

But, note to self, this is it. I can't keep sitting on the sidelines. I MUST get on with my life. New job, new home, new town. Stop waiting, the universe isn't going to take me on my schedule, so it's time to live.

I had a little bit too much of our drinking water and my anxiety went through the roof. My mom claims its not contaminated theres just something in it I'm reacting to. But I normally use a small glass that I take sips of water out of all day because I can't drink a lot of it. The weird thing is this started right after I got the second covid shot. Anyways I took some of my meds a bit early so things are starting to calm down.

Do you have or could you try one of those filter things? I use a Brita (getting rid of the B) pitcher and it works pretty well, though the filters are costly.

I don't have a brita I just use the filter from the water on the door. Is that the same thing?

Might be. I pour tap water through the filter on the pitcher. Probably works the same. Just a guess.

I have been experiencing terrible anxiety & sadness. I keep hoping I will leave this stage of whatever it is soon.

I had anxiety around 11 which once again turned into nausea. The same as usuaul. I watched how much water I drank and I didn't have any Pepsi or Mountain Dew or coffee and I didn't have any caffeine after 9AM. I took my melatonin so I am starting to relax. I was not anxious about anything in particular so I am guessing its just this nausea thing again. I've ignored the news besides the headlines.

My anxiety seems to have been caused by a physyical issue. I think. Because I drank a mountain dew and my anxiety wasn't super high all day. Like it was a bit before the mountain dew but my meds have worked all day today so I was able to get it under control.

My anxiety levels have been super high, my hands tremble a lot and my voice shakes. I wish I didn’t get anxious, I think it makes me much more tired!

My anxiety isn't acting up much at all but I know it's because I'm not thinking about or doing any of the things that start it up. I live in fear of the anxiety and do and don't do everything anything to avoid it and I can't keep doing this. I have got to start doing the things that cause me anxiety because I'm doing nothing but distracting myself and the bare minimum otherwise. Why oh why did anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia have to enter my life!? Wasn't the depression and low self esteem enough? Guess not.

My anxiety is ramping up. It's late in the day. I need to go to bed. I need my meds.

I switched to bottled water a few days ago and the anxiety issue was pretty much instantly solved. Now though I'm drinking 4 bottles of water a day. Which I feel like is adding up in terms of money but I stopped going to Starbucks since I also went non dairy. And that instantly solved the nausea issue. So my anxiety has been much better since I got my physical issues under control. I'm bad at math but the water I drink is $4 for a case of 24 bottles and my Starbucks coffee is $6 each. So I guess I'm saving money. But I mean theres really no other option if I figured out that the tap water was one of 2 of my issues. Dairy being the other.

I hope you continue to feel better @Mountaindewed

My anxiety is extremely high. It’s so rubbish. It’s making me even more tired because everything is going through my mind constantly.

I think I'm on a good med combo with the 3 valium a day and now the 3 topamax a day. Then my noon 20mil Geodon and my 2PM stuff and my 4PM melatonin and my 5:30PM stuff. I think the combo works out well for my anxiety. Of course these arent really taken as prescribed. Like I shouldnt be taking them at these times. But it works well for me and keeps my anxiety low for the most part to split everything up.

I'm very upset right now. My online T pissed me off. I took some Klonopin. If I don't calm down soon, I will take more. I don't care.

My anxiety is surrounded by sad feelings. I keep hoping I'm getting stronger & I'm just not there yet. I keep getting these moments when I can see ahead & I can feel how it's going to be.

My anxiety was pretty bad yesterday, but this morning it is fine. I will try to do things to calm myself today. Soothing stuff.

I'm suffering now. I just took a Klonopin. I'm waiting for it to help me. I may have to take a nap.

My anxiety was controlled through valium and bottled water. Its been ok for the past 1.5 hours but its been sucky off and on all day. I have totally avoided the news and have not asked for any updates.

I'm upset and anxious because I called my pharmacy because none of my prescriptions are ready and they were sent 5 days ago. My SSRI is not ready until Monday afternoon and by then I would have none and my klonopin cannot be filled until they called my doctor on Monday.
