My anxiety is better right now. I love it when I can relax & feel less stress.

@raging vortex, I hope your anxiety will be better soon.

My anxiety was fine this morning. Then it was up a bit. Then my stomach pain exploded and I needed my stomach meds and some Advil and a few crackers and some cheese and I'm feeling better. I'm sure my kidneys look great from the Advil. I've been instructed by every doctor I see to not take advil. But it truly does help get rid of the pain that then gets rid of the anxiety.

I have been really anxious lately that my soap operas I watch have been canceled. (forever), because of the death of the queen

really stressing me out, too that I'll never get to see the next episodes

I'm so sorry, @raging vortex. Our favorite stories are so very important, for our sense of mental comfort & order/continuity, especially when we are dealing with major difficulties.

I haven't been too anxious today. Preoccipied about things yeah, but not overly anxious. I have a lot on my mind. I know sleeping well last night helped.

I was super hungry for dinner and I was getting antsy and tonight I was eating something homemade that my mom was making so I wasn't on my own. So I just had to deal with my hunger for a couple hours but then when it was finished cooking, and I ate I felt better.

Overall my anxiety was ok today.

I'm feeling very anxious and upset today. My stomach is all torn up. I may try half a Klonopin. I'm upset about my gf situation. It's very troubling. I am so disappointed with the way things are going. I am ready to walk.

I'm kinda anxious right now. Just some anticipatory stuff. I'd love some Jif crunchy peanut butter to calm my nerves but if I eat peanut butter I won't be able to get out of bed tommorow because I'll be in so much pain. I can eat some Wow butter though.

I went to the ER today cause I've been having chest pains. They ruled out a heart attack, so it must be anxiety. I'm still having chest pains. I'm sure my gerd isn't helping either. I've been under a lot of stress.

It very well could be your gerd. I've felt chest pain recently & have some indigestion. I felt better after belching; no pain since

My anxiety has been fine today. I feel almost serene now that I have things figured out. There was a slight issue with my insurance so I had to call SS but they got it fixed but I wasn't panicked or anything.

And I did find some crunchy Wow butter on Amazon.

I had some caffeine related anxiety and then some all over anxiety. I have to focus on one thing at a time. I feel better though after eating carbs and taking my meds early.

I keep thinking that monday (the queen's funeral), will be the end of the world

they'll have the service, and afterwards, everything will just stop- what makes this worse is that I have heard nothing that's going on past the 19th- so maybe this really is it.

also if I don't watch the funeral on monday,

Possible trigger:

Everything is ok, @raging vortex. No need to worry. This is the first time in your lifetime that you have ever experienced this transition. I think she was only 24 years old when she became Queen. Such a long reign might never happen again. After Monday, the focus will probably shift. And we can talk about it, how it's different & everything. Hugs & love to you.

It’ll be okay, I promise. There are definitely things scheduled beyond 19th, there will be the King’s coronation for one thing, for another I can definitely tell you the store where I work has scheduled deliveries.

Dawn is very wise, we haven’t experienced anything like this before as a country, it’s very unsettling for many people, you’re not alone. We’ll be okay I promise.

Same anxiety as normal which is probably just hunger. I'm making dinner now.

I just had a little bit of caffeine related anxiety, it wasn't a big deal. I do have to probably see a doctor eventually about something but I'm still hoping it clears up on it own.

I was able to get some things at the store today, which turned out pretty good, & I ended up feeling a lot better. I was so glad I got determined enough to go. My anxiety was reduced quite a bit.

I had some anxiety while I was at Walmart even though no one was paying any attention to me. Now I'm fine. I barely had any caffeine today which helped my anxiety.

I was on a medication that was causing my anxiety to go through the roof. I quit taking it today and my anxiety is only slightly elevated.
