I don't know whats anxiety and whats physical. I'm trying to get stuff done before my trip but I'm worn out and tired so I've been taking a lot of breaks and I ate breakfast but then I got nauseated that turned into a headache. So I took a zofran advil combo. Then I ate something and took my stomach pain med. Now it just seems to be some anxiety still mixed with a headache. I can take my pretstiq and second valium in a bit. I have my 4 week blood draw tommorow before we get on the road.

True. Low blood sugar = irritability = anxiety. I use to & recently started again, writing down what time I last ate so I know if it's been more than 3 or 4 hours since.

I have to go to the pharmacy again tomorrow because they made an error with one medication so I need to returned it and pick up the new ones. I am also trying to gain courage, It would be a lot easier without feeling fear. How was your trip?

So Monday I actually did go to the store, & everything turned out easier than I expected. @made08, I'm sorry they got your prescription wrong, which forced you to gather up your courage all over again. I hope this next trip goes well.

I have some anticipatory anxiety but I'm also excited. But I'm just in general anxious right now.

I was at the courthouse today with my lawyer and my mom. The judge called me up and my mind just went blank with anxiety and I was like a deer in headlights. I remember answering her questions and I was halfway looking at her and halfway looking at my lawyer. I wasn't sure who to look at. She luckily didn't care and it was all over in less then 5 minutes. I was just a stumbling mess but no one gave me a hard time. There was one other guy in there. Another trans man I assume, about my age, but he didn't have a lawyer so I got called up first and then we hurried out and I had quite a bit of sensory overload afterwards so I took my meds when I got home and I feel much better now.

My anxiety went up today after doing some cleaning. I had used lysol disinfect wipes on the vent on the ceiling and then turn around and used the soft scrub bubble with bleach gel after wiping down with water on some paper towels. I told my sister who was upset. I think we will be okay with the window being open and the attic fan on and using the water should have deluded the chemical. I felt like I couldn't trust myself.

Why was you in court with a lawyer?

I hope nothing bad is going to happen to you

This dumb probable nut allergy is really screwing with me right now. Its been several hours since I ate the walnuts and I still am feeling the effects from it. It seems almost dangerous to eat both nuts and eggs now. Before it just seemed like an intolerance. But walnuts are not a safe food even though my at home test says they are.

When do you have to realize that
A. You have to give up trying to get rid of your anxiety for the day and just accept its going to suck
Or
B. Realize theres something else going on besides anxiety?

Basically I'm managing to convince myself that they will find a brain cancers cause if the thing they worried about in her mouth is a cancer it might get from her mouth up into her brain cause i know i am no scientist but i am certain her mouth is close to her brain and it didnt take long for the cancers in Ebony to get from her lungs into her brain so it will take even less time for any cancers in Tigger's mouth to get into her brain

Lungs are further away from her brain than her mouth is, something i am certain of

I cut out coffee so today I can tell its physical. I went out to lunch with my family and had no issue sitting for 2 hours. But man this nausea and stomach pain and headache and the other stuff. Plus I'm exhausted. I'm wondering if there was a lot of egg in the dressing in my salad. But now that I've stopped coffee and am back on my normal meds I can tell its not anxiety.

I'm anxious because I'm trying to quit smoking. I started up 10 days ago because of stress and now it's difficult to quit.

I have a high anxiety level today. I have some idea as to why but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable. I’m too hyper focused on always saying and doing the right things and it ratchets up my anxiety. I’m going to work on that. I’m overthinking things I’m sure.

I had a mini anxiety attack that was probably related to something else. I don't get them for no reason. I feel ok now.

I have a habit of stuffing my feelings & don't acknowledge stress. So I think that's why I've been having panic attack symptoms.
