Today my social anxiety is pretty bad but my general anxiety is manageable.

I went to the pharmacy today to pick up meds I ordered 2 days ago. They weren't ready. So I have to make another trip to the pharmacy to pick them up. It makes me anxious. It's hanging over my head just like the vet appointment I have next week. I think it's time for a Klonopin. I need to calm down.

I’m kinda nervous about Thanksgiving. But it’s just been a thought in the back of my head most of the day and I haven’t been majorly stressed about it.

I’m trying not to bring it up much because my mom is looking forward to it and I don’t want to get her down in the dumps about me being unhappy and anxious about it.

My symptoms right now are legit physical but I’m going to take a Valium because you know, benzo addiction.

My sister is in the ICU for a blood clot and she is making me anxious. She has stage 4 cancer surgery in two days. She wasn't very nice to me yesterday and now she is being weird. It's upsetting me.

I just took my second Valium. Which is kinda good considering I’m usually on my 3rd by now. I had been listening to scary podcasts and then I got a bit spooked while running to Walgreens and it’s kinda creepy looking outside right now. Very fall and Halloween like. But I’m not sure I’m in the mood to go back to the podcasts today. At least those ones.

My anxiety was under control after I took one of my meds early around noon. I think I took it with a Valium too. Before my anxiety was so high I felt flushed and hot and my temp was 98.7. But I’m ok now.

I feel kinda anxious that I hurt myself and gave myself surgery complications. Also I’m not looking forward to Thanksgiving this year. I’m traveling which I don’t want to do in general this year and I don’t want to see specific family members. Especially all at one time. I know I did that during our vacation in July. But it wasn’t that many people. Although believe me I was nervous then too but I got through it. So I guess I’ll just get through this too. But Thanksgivings aren’t the best for me. I either have to deal with family I don’t want to deal with or I have crazy work shifts the next day. My dad even died 2 days after Thanksgiving 2014.

I'm anxious about everything. I was dealing with a panic attack earlier. I chewed on aspirin just to help any potential blood clots, since I haven't been able to make it into the doctor's for exams and blood tests for over 19 months. I know the new news is that aspirin is no longer recommended for those who don't have diagnosed heart conditions or hypertension or stroke. But it still puts my mind at ease to at least take aspirin on occasion when I feel this way. I'm not taking any anti-anxiety, and the VA has frowned upon prescribing that. So I deal with anxiety the best way I can. It's the heart palpitations that bother me every single night. Today I'm anxious because my sister and I are estranged and yesterday was her birthday. I also haven't heard back from my mom, and I worry about her health. I don't live near any family, and I've not seen them for Thanksgiving or Christmas in over 25 years. I'm really alone, even though I do have local and distal friends.

My anxiety is tough right now. It’s most likely related to the large coffee and 3 sodas I had and the lack of food I’ve had today. I took a few of my meds super early and then I took my 3rd Valium. I need to go watch TV and do some distraction.

I was very anxious this morning. I did a Covid test. I was scared of the drive and doing the test. But I made it. Now I'm anxious cause I'm waiting for someone to return my call. I may not hear from them today. It's getting late.

My anxiety was decent for the most part but I’ve had a lot of caffeine including 2 mountain dews. So a 4th Valium may be needed. For the first time in awhile. Or I could just you know lay off the caffeine but I never want to do things the easy way.

I’m trying not to worry about Thanksgiving but it’s hard not to be anxious about it. I’m trying not to stress too much about it because my anxiety gets my mom going as well. Maybe the hotel will be booked. We haven’t even made reservations yet I don’t know why my mom hasn’t done it. I’ve heard this year will be crazy.

And my mom just got the reservations made. ****.

I'm anxious about tomorrow. It's my birthday. My mom wants me to come visit. My test came back negative, but I am worried about getting dressed. I fear the shower. I've been washing up at the sink, but tomorrow, I really need a shower.

I was showering for a while and then I don't know what happened. It got to be too much. Maybe I can just shower my hair. I'll do the best I can.

I’m having a tough day but basic hygiene made me feel a little bit better alongside some DBT skills.

I got my shower last night and today was so much easier. I was still a bit anxious cause I had to get my booster. And then later I drove out to my mom's But I did it. I left my house for important things and I survived. I even enjoyed myself. I guess I am capable.

I’m trying not to be a jerk about thanksgiving. But it’s really hard for me to process this. My mom has made all kinds of promises of places we can go to to make the trip easier for me but I’m still having a hard time with it. It’s just seeing a bunch of family at one time. I know everyone is supportive of me but it’s still going to be very hard.

But I’m trying very hard not to make my mom as miserable as I am about this. Or make my family think I don’t like them.
