Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

I been there myself. Take three deep slow breaths to get your breathing slower then touch some ice or cold water.

I feel fine at the moment.

That is amazing.

High anxiety level right now.

Thank you for sharing this, cool09. I can use the encouragement & belief that moments do change to the better.

i hope you feel less anxious soon

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.

I’m sorry about your high anxiety. Take it easy.

Mixy day, I did have some success with a good cleaning job however which helped ground me.

I just took double of my daily dose of ativan/lorazepam ... still within the adult daily max.

Why?

My anxiety is really high.

It started yesterday and is worse today.

I woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep.

Later today, I cooked a luncheon meal for my mom and our friend... and I'm worried they'll get food poisoning and die.... I feel I'm somatizing and have developed signs of food poisoning myself... I'm scared out of my wits... now I have some OCD happening, like if this happens then that won't happen. If I do something corrective then they won't get sick.

It's awful having anxiety....

This afternoon my anxiety is elevated. I've been dealing with a health anxiety situation for about 3 months and it's generally gotten much better lately. I'm going to clean up my diet to help just feel better physically. It's not terrible but can be better. I plan to start Monday and decided to eat a few of my favorite things before that. Unfortunately that includes caffeine and sugar, which is horrible for my anxiety. True to my normal anxiety MO as soon as one situation gets better or resolves a whole new situation starts. As my body isn't feeling terrible at the moment my anxiety has decided to worry about other things, which is sometimes does. This time it's finances. I know that one of the techniques suggested is to talk back to your anxiety and tell it the reality. I've never found that to work for me. Continuing to think about or talk back, just keeps the topic on my mind. I just need to detach and let the anxiety punch itself out. When I'm full of sugar and caffeine that's really hard.

I'm really at a point where my life situation is getting dire. I had been waiting for my dogs to pass and then I'd follow them. One died about 7 months ago. The other is doing well and should have a few years ahead. I just don't know that I do. Just when I start to feel positive about the future my anxiety knocks my progress backwards and I'm forced to start over from further back.

Anyway, today my anxiety is elevated and I'm tired.

i'm scared that my anxiety itself has got anxiety

Sound normal to have some anxiety.

I been having some high anxiety due to having the bathroom remodel which caused me and my niece to argue because she had asked me to remove the glue from carpet she pulled up leaving me to feel confused : banghead: and knowing what it is that she wanted from me .

Me too

I think the anxiety I'm feeling at the moment is actually fear. But I seem to be hiding, from myself, the reason I'm scared or what I'm actually afraid of.

Anxiety is low today which is good, but it's been replaced with a very depressed mood. Anxiety is trying to motivate me to get my life moving, but it does it my torturing me and I'm just tired of that. To the point that I'm almost choosing to ruin my life. I know what I have to do, but I don't know why I should bother.

Today has been one of the worst in a long time. I felt nothing most of the morning, then at lunch a huge anxiety spike and then a deep depression. I think it's all just getting too hard. I've been thinking that I might need to find a new home for my dog. I think we both hurt so much where things stand and she deserves better. I know not to make any big decisions like that, feeling the way I do. But nothing is getting better and something needs to change drastically. I guess I love her more that I love myself.

What a terrible day.

I have high really anxiety today.
