Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

Mountaindewed · Sep 02, 2021 at 01:40 PM

I keep having these racing thoughts about anxiety provoking things and they are making me anxious. I have songs stuck in my head and then I’ll think of Jr. High. Then I’ll think of therapy. Then I’ll think of an old job. Then I’ll go back to the song. I’m all over the place and I can’t tell if it’s situational anxiety or caffeine related anxiety. I know I’m very nauseated right now so I think I need a zofran. That can also often help with my anxiety if it’s nausea related.

Feeling anxious this morning, like I can't get my mind to stop racing. Too many worries in my head!

My anxiety was tough after 9. I think I know what caused it. I took a 4th Valium half an hour ago which I haven’t done in awhile. And I didn’t read today since my book is pretty scary. I’ve been losing weight but I don’t feel like I look any better then I did before the 24 pound weight loss. This may be me just going crazy but I feel like I look wider. And maybe it’s just my weight shifting like it’s supposed to. But I feel bigger even as I lose more weight and start getting into smaller sizes.

I don’t know. Right now I just feel like I’m gonna majorly freak out because of my anxiety.

I wish I had some lighter reading material but all my lighter stuff I need for after my surgery.

I felt pretty calm most of the day.

Woke up an hour ago with really bad anxiety. I still feel it in my body, but I want to avoid taking klonopin since it is early, and it makes me tired a lot. I do have a few stressors that are on my mind where maybe things can get better in a few weeks. But when one issue subsides, it seems there's always something else. If I can be free from all this excessive worry, things would be so much different. Sometimes I just want to give up. I feel the anxiety in my body and almost feel as if I am shaking. I bet this is why I am losing weight.

Not very good right now.

Deilla · Sep 04, 2021 at 04:28 PM

I'm a little anxious right now. It's time for me to go to the pharmacy and pick up a script. I'm nervous about having to leave the house and everything that goes with it.

Mountaindewed · Sep 04, 2021 at 05:24 PM

I haven’t had a full blown meltdown yet today. Just some minor anxiety here and there. Mostly geared towards my therapist and the book I’m reading. I did ok with my 3 valium. I don’t feel the need to take a 4th. But I for sure need more Tylenol. I made it to the store to look for some tea. I didn’t find any that I wanted and then I got nervous suddenly and hurried out. I’m not sure at this point what’s making me nervous when I leave my house. I’ve been ok with Covid this whole time. I have the vaccine and a good mask. I don’t know why the stores have been so anxiety provoking. I can handle gas stations just fine.

It’s quite a struggle….☹️ Even at 8 months sober ☹️

Deilla · Sep 05, 2021 at 03:45 PM

I'm a little anxious cause it's getting late in the day. I don't know what I will do with myself.

Breaking Dawn · Sep 05, 2021 at 03:46 PM

I do have anxiety but not as bad at the moment as other times.

Mountaindewed · Sep 05, 2021 at 05:44 PM

I’ve had enough caffeine to kill a horse. And I’ve taken 4 Valium. But I don’t really feel any anxiety. And maybe that’s just because of the 4 Valium. But I haven’t had that feeling of dread all day that I’ve been getting. I’ve had the TV on something light most of the day and I’ve avoided the news. I haven’t given therapy much of a thought today either. Although heading to my old state on Tuesday has given me some vibes about my transference therapist. But I haven’t been dwelling on it consciously.

Deilla · Sep 06, 2021 at 03:57 AM

I feel pretty calm at the moment.

Breaking Dawn · Sep 11, 2021 at 08:46 AM

My anxiety is throughout my system. I keep wishing that I will start feeling stronger, less afraid, soon. So many things are painful & threatening. I keep trying to start over with fresh thoughts everyday. I do believe in tomorrow. Thank you, Tomorrow.

Deilla · Sep 11, 2021 at 10:59 AM

I'm feeling stressed and depressed. I just took a Klonopin. I hope that helps my mood.

Mountaindewed · Sep 11, 2021 at 03:16 PM

I had really bad anxiety last night. I had a mug of apple cider and then today I remembered that apple juice and cider causes such severe anxiety for me that I can’t even drink them. It’s the one food I like that I don’t continue to drink and be like “I’ll just deal with the affects.” Because when I drink apple juice their is no relief for my anxiety no matter what I take or how much. I actually googled it when I first started noticing it and you should actually avoid apple juice if you have anxiety. Honestly this is totally bizarre. But apple juice is worse for my anxiety then coffee and Mountain Dew combined. I swore off it a few years ago and then just forgot. So I’m kind of thinking that’s why I was such a 3 Valium at once mess last night. I had a mug with dinner.

Today my anxiety is kinda high. Not like last night. I think it’s what I’ve been eating today. Just cereal, goldfish crackers, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. When I was on my trip and eating steak and French onion soup and salmon and salad and vegetables and sweet potatoes I felt great.

Mountaindewed · Sep 13, 2021 at 03:11 PM

I had anxiety in therapy. I only took half a Valium this morning. I said to her “I only took half a Valium this morning so I’m not wasted on them.” She said she appreciated it. I asked if she noticed my anxiety and she said yeah that my leg was bouncing the whole time and I was wringing my hands. I don’t normally get that way during a session. It wasn’t even a bad one. Once I left I felt ok with my anxiety just tired. Right now I’m not very anxious but I could use my 3rd Valium. Taking half’s of ones doesn’t really work for me.

Mountaindewed · Sep 14, 2021 at 03:27 PM

I had a lot of caffeine to combat my exhaustion but I didn’t have any anxiety as a result of the caffeine. I was more crabby and frustrated today then anxious.

Deilla · Sep 14, 2021 at 06:11 PM

I don't really feel anxious. I'm just tired and sad.

Mountaindewed · Sep 15, 2021 at 12:41 PM

You know how in spongebob when he keeps tripping over his shoe lace while making the krabby patties and the patties keep flying into squidwards mouth and he ends up eating so many patties until he’s huge and bloated and then he says “I think my heart just stopped”

Yeah that’s how I’m feeling right now. But I haven’t screwed with my Geodon in awhile so I don’t think I’m having anything more then just crappy regular anxiety.
