Yelled at by work on my vacation, for forgetting the password for a laptop I didn't even create. More work stress.

I’m sorry that you had to gow through that. Take care of yourself physically and mentally.

Are there things you can do to ground yourself?

Some things that help me, depending on my mood, are reading, listening to music, walking or drawing. Sometimes making myself a nice warm drink can be helpful.

I'm pretty much at baseline anxious all of the time. Today, my level is moderate. I am at work (although from home today), and my job gives me a lot of anxiety. Some parts of the day it's especially bad, and other times it is more mild. I work until 8pm, so long day ahead of me.

They say that all anxiety is just one bad thought that is uncontrollable.

Nothing helps at all. I feel so strange when I'm anxious. Sitting and laying down feels strange.

My anxiety is vicious today. I think it comes from a bad nightmare I had last night/early morning. Close to having a panic attack.

My anxiety has been so bad this last 1.5 hours I finally said eff it and took my night meds early. I took a shower this morning and I didnt leave my house and I still sweated through my deodarent and a new shirt. I've been freezing all day though. I'm pretty sure I'm just super stressed out with trying to find a job. I thought I'd get the job I applied for right away. I'm not even getting an email telling me its a no. This is not what I expected at all so I didn't have a backup plan.

Had an anxiety attack starting in the car on the way to see my therapist. I felt like pulling to the side of the road so I could calm down. I felt nervous seeing my new therapist.
