For being a very stressful and anxiety filling day, I am handling my anxiety and am able to naturally calm myself down today. Proud!

I'm facing having to live life alone again after many, many years. For at least 10 years now I haven't done a single thing on my own. Now, I'm supposed to acquire my own low-income apartment, go shopping and to stores myself, do all the things a regular person is supposed to do on their own. I am scared to death and my general/social anxiety is through the roof. I don't know how to deal. I am absolutely scared to death.

I’m worried that I have another tooth infection because I can’t afford to go to the dentist which is causing me to have tooth pain, ear ache, headache.

My anxiety was fine today. I wore a hoodie with an image of trees and mountains and fog to the doctors. Its not something I would have been comfortable wearing before since it stands out so much. Still no one paid any attention to me and I wasn't paranoid either today.

My anxiety has been sky high due to me cleaning up my bathroom when I mixed Clorox title mildew and mold with soft scrub gel together by accident by grabbing the wrong cleaning chemicals. It took me awhile to calm down today.

Your hoodie sounds like I want one of those. I think I need to be somewhere like that. I need to be with Mother Nature. Trees are wonderful. Birds & squirrels think so, too.

I'm usually anxious about being anxious. That's how my mind works.

Stayed in bed just about all day. Woke up with wicked racing thoughts. I don't have any hope.

Last night it felt like I was being smothered. None of my relaxation techniques worked. I finally got out of bed, grabbed my sketch book and started drawing pictures of my anxiety. Doing that helped a lot.
