Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

I didn't realize Mello Yellow had caffeine......

My anxiety was terrible every day for a few years. I thought it was just part of my disorder and I had to just deal with it. It turned out to be a med causing the anxiety.

Went along to a new group activity tonight which I felt nervous about but got there - I’m not sure the group’s for me but I’m glad I went along.

My anxiety was so bad last week I could barely eat. But this week it's much better. I haven't even had to take my PRN.

I'm anxious cause my mum had to go into hospital today, they sent her home and are seeing her again on monday morning, we dont know yet what the lump is that they found

its on her ribs, maybe around her ribs, we dont know yet

That’s fantastic news - happy for you!

Anxiety & sadness off & on.

My anxiety was kind of bad early this afternoon, but I took tylenol and used a heating pad and that helped a lot.

Fortunately my anxiety is better since coming off of Wellbutrin.

My anxiety was fine until the middle of the afternoon. I think I just need to take the rest of my meds and get to bed.

Anxiety today has been difficult. I did best when I listened to wonderful music.

I'm kind of worried I forgot how to socialize after only talking to therapists and doctors and a few family members in 2.5 years and its kinda terrifying.

That's good! I am trying to get determined to go because I have to go to the pharmacy but it's located inside the supermarket.

Congrats!!!!!!

I do understand you! 💖

Quitting caffeine helped a lot with anxiety, insomnia, and heart rate.

My anxiety really sucks right now. Theres stuff I can do for it but it will mess up other things I worked hard on. I'm too anxious to eat even though thats probably one of my main issues right now. Plus eating doesn't really help my anxiety anyways. Like I feel my overall anxiety is ok. Then at times its not. I don't know what I need tbh

I wish there was an easy fix to anxiety. Not much helps, i should probably stay away from news for a start and quit coffee but i love coffee

I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning, @Violetta75 and that's it. I would get a headache if I didn't get my coffee fix. But that's all I have for the day.

This morning, I've done a couple of things that scare me... they are simple things really, but are blown out of proportion with my anxiety to the point that I freeze and shut down. I was able to do just a couple of simple things that I've been putting off (like write an email) and I feel much better.
Now I'm rewarding myself with a hot foot bath...

I started taking ginger nausea chews last night and they worked pretty well today for my nausea which then helped my anxiety stay calm.

Yes, @Violetta, you don’t need to hear or watch the news. They are so depressing. I’ve been avoiding them from a long time and it’s making me good and helping to go on my progress.

Congrats!!!!

Cool. I think that I read that ginger into milk could help before going to sleep.

I totally get this. I was at some family events lately and it was awkward at first. Then things kind of settled down. I wasn't super anxious the whole time, but I was definitely anxious.

I feel suffocated by anxiety right now...
