I have a lot of anxiety today. I'm scared I won't be able to fulfill my goals again today.

My anxiety has been better and theres a few things that have happened like getting a new therapist, starting a new med, getting on a sleep and med schedule, and I cut back majorly on caffeine. I am mostly down to just one soda a day. I did have an iced tea today though. I'm not sure whats up with the cutting back on soda. I had been inhaling tons of it now I drink one 12oz can or one 20oz bottle when I wake up and I'm good. I go through phases with foods but I've always been a big soda drinker my whole life. I remember my dad putting coca cola in my baby bottle. Gotta love the 90's

Things are still going good with the anxiety. The side effects with the prestiq can be rough at times but its just been physical ones.

Anxiety comes & goes. At the moment it's fairly mild/doable.

My anxiety was a bit rough while I was out but I still pushed myself and made my stops. I feel better after eating.

I have an oxygen thing in my nose for an at home sleep study and I'm trying not to panic. I hate having things like that in me.

I just listened to some music and I feel relatively calm. Before Monday hits. Then I know everything will likely be more stressful. Just trying to prepare myself for that...

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.

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.

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

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.
