Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

Deilla · Jan 12, 2023 at 09:23 PM

I was less anxious today. I took a Vistaril early this morning. That helped me make it to my appointment.

I'm feeling a bit of sadness and worried. My hormones are all over the place.

Horrible morning. Dragged myself to therapist's office. Was going to go to the hospital but changed my mind.

My anxiety had switched off or turned itself down when my depression picked up. I would much rather have just the depression than any amount of anxiety.

This evening I've been looking at some YT videos about depression and how to deal with it and one I came across mentioned some things you might do to sabotage yourself in getting better and then I realized that because I don't really believe things will get better (not because they can't, but because I don't believe in myself to do whats necessary), I just don't know why I bother. So I do sabotage myself. The future doesn't look very good, even if I could do something about it. So, my anxiety is ticking up, right before bed. That's the best time for that. Trying to sleep when your brain is running full out. Fun.

I must have messy handwriting to tick both the depression and anxiety boxes. Who do I talk to about a do over?

Earlier today I seemed to have fallen asleep for a little while, & I eventually awoke, feeling better, & not feeling the dread I had felt earlier. I felt so glad about that. Now I'm wondering about my tomorrow?

Slow down your breathing and name two colors, one thing you can taste and two things that you can hear.

I felt calm all day.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 15, 2023 at 02:42 PM

Really bad today.

Buffy01 · Jan 16, 2023 at 10:48 AM

I couldn’t remember if I have taken my night time medicine so I skipped just in case I did take my medicine.

The only thing I can figure is I lived with so much anxiety for so many years my body doesn't know how to exist any other way. Anyway... thanks for keeping the Check-in thread going. Perhaps I'll try to post here from time-to-time.

Sounds like what I been experiencing myself. They say that it start with a bad thought that spins out of control.

My doctor switched my medication to a Snri. I slept better last night than in the past month. My back just hurts.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 18, 2023 at 10:40 PM

I had some really bad fears today, for reasons I
probably shouldn't tell about here. But I am better right now. However, I can't pretend to myself all the time that those bad things won't happen again.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 19, 2023 at 11:06 AM

I'm doing much better right now.

Anxiety is so bad! Dr. said he won't give me anything for panic attacks. I have no hope at all.
