Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

I didn't have much anxiety until now. I just now legit ate but eating doesn't cause anxiety like this. Unless plant nuggets have something in them that don't go well with meds or something. Which I doubt. I think as a therapist told me one time "sometimes we're anxious for no reason"

I've been reading a little on health anxiety and came across something that said when you focus on bodily sensations they become stronger and last longer. That lines up with what I experience, in that if I keep my mind actively engaged I don't feel any pains, but if I can't I get into a death spiral. And then just as soon as my dog needs to walk or I have something to do, it gets better. It was suggested that to practice putting your attention on mundane things. Which I guess rolls in mindfulness with just staying busy. Right now because of the death of my dog and the last year freaking out about being the same age as my dad when he died, I have illness, death and dying on my mind and I just struggle to engage myself in other things long enough to have full days or even (please, please, please) weeks where things are good. An hour at a time is about all I get. This hour I'm OK. I hope it holds out until bedtime.

Yep. The anxious mind is just so random.

Thank you! I still struggle going to places since I don't do a lot of exposures. I need to talk to my therapist because it has been a month.

Just getting over a panic attack. Can't deal with it.

I kinda messed up in therapy. At least in my opinon. I'm not sure how she feels. But I at least wasn't happy with how it went. I took all my meds early and I took my new stomach one. So far I still feel full even though I didn't eat much today, but I'm not in very much pain. But I think I'm starting to calm down a bit.

I have the same anxiety that a lot of people have. Also these side effects from this new med are really kicking me in the ***. I couldn't catch a break at all from my anxiety. I even had a panic attack today which I never get. This is like wellbutrin type anxiety. I hope I get used to it.

I've had severe anxiety since very early this morning. It's been wearing me out emotionally. I'm trying everything that I can think of.

I'm feeling a little bit better right now.

I'm not too far off the deep end today. Either I'm doing ok or I'm just totally numb and checked out.

I'm not too anxious at this moment. My mom was apparently very worried about the valium situation and getting it refilled but she didn't tell me that so I didn't freak out about it. But now I'm wondering if theres other stuff she isn't telling me because she doesn't want me to worry.

Another panic attack! I don't know what to do!!

I'm doing better, but I continue to get episodes of feeling apprehensive.

I woke up today with a lot of anxiety, I have no idea why either. I didn't have any nightmares or anything like that but I had lots of anxiety in my body. So I'm going to take it easy today.. I think.

I've just been up too long and I havent eaten enough quality wise today. But I wasn't too anxious. At least not constantly like I was early last week.

I've been disappointing myself. I hope I do better today. I feel sad right now.

I had some anxiety today but I think I need to do more of these things in order to get back to a normal life.

I have a bad habit of buying too much food at once. So then it can get kinda overwhelming. I can't eat nuts anymore so I cleared up some decent space from giving away those. But I'm trying to eat some fruit and vegetables before they go bad and I'm not really hungry. I think I'm just making things a bigger deal then they are. I doubt what I consider a mess other people would. Everything is well organized and neat. My brother in law actually said he was fascinated by my soda collection.

More anxiety. I can't control this!

I'm just worried and some nervousness because I have to go to the library to pick up some movies. I have a few days to go get it.

I started back listening to a variety of podcasts last year.

Certain podcasts I binge listen to a take breaks because the topics are heavy, triggering, emotional and a reminder of global chaos.

Most podcasts conduct interviews. I follow several individuals, BIPOC businesses, add movies/series to my watch list, and add books on my wishlist etc all featured in podcast interviews…

46 days into my vegetarian journey. My autoimmune illnessES have been very well behaved!!!

My anxiety is at a manageable level right now. I've been doing the good self talk, & I've been increasing antioxidants in my meals. I watch kids' programs on PBS tv. I'm trying to stop clenching my teeth. I periodically clench my teeth without realizing I'm doing it. My jaw is sore on one side at the moment. I'm taking Tylenol & aspirin.

I'm at the point with my anxiety where I have to be careful with drinking juice and gatorade now since the sugar can increase my anxiety. Before I only had to worry about caffeine. But as usual I've had crappy anxiety all day. I got my haircut and it wasn't a big deal overall but of course I was panicking internally the whole time and I probably came off as rude. I don't know. I thanked her at least. I can't tell if my pdoc could help me out or if he would just make things worse.

I've had a lot of anxiety today with depression. I had to deal with a romance scammer. She asked for money yesterday and I told her today I no longer trusted her. We said goodbye.

I am not sure if I just have anxiety or if I'm about to projectile vomit Excorcist style all over the place.
