Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

Mountaindewed · Aug 02, 2022 at 02:09 PM

I just had some anxiety while trying to figure out what to wear. It was just dumb anxiety though. There wasn't any need to get worked up over what to wear to while running to Target. Overall my anxiety was low today and my agoraphobia is still fine. I went to 2 stores without an issue and I didn't go out to eat because of the weather and I was tired and I needed my stomach med.

The anxiety is held down by the exhaustion.

I didn't have much anxiety if any today. I haven't been watching the news in over a week and I just spent the day reading. I didn't have any appointments this week so it made things easier.

Life can be really difficult. But we have each other!!

My anxiety is high today. I’ve tried my bag of tools and medication but it hasn’t worked so far. I’m going to tap on it and try to be more calm.

Anxiety is very difficult today.

Lil anxious today. My fault. Too much gaming last night

Brentus · Aug 10, 2022 at 03:37 PM

Feeling a lot less anxious this week. I find when I used my skills and don't neglect doing routine things helps sometimes.

Mountaindewed · Aug 11, 2022 at 04:57 PM

I need to go back to work. And I'm ok with it. I just haven't had a normal conversation since June 2020. I've talked with doctors and therapists and my mom mainly in 2 years. I'm hoping I can get back into the swing of it easily. Or fairly easily.

I thought my anxiety was like extra valium sorta bad about an hour ago. Then I realized it was just "I need carbs" bad. After I ate 8 tiny pancakes I felt a lot better. I think I said this before but I get hunger and anxiety confused a lot. Often times my anxiety is just because I need to eat.

I was having muscles tension in the morning and I got anxious. I have to go to the grocery/ pharmacy tomorrow to pick up my meds and I'm worried because on Friday I was really anxious throughout the whole trip.

@made08, you sound like the way I'm feeling. I also have to go to the store & I'm trying right now to gather up some courage. My anxiety is mixed up with sadness. But we are going to do it, right? I hope so.

Mountaindewed · Aug 15, 2022 at 10:59 AM

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 had a week of higher anxiety. I hope the weekend is better. It will be.
