That doesn't sound very helpful. There should be a therapist that can do better than that.

I had good luck using a meditation app 3x/day,
Cutting out all caffeine and writing through panic attacks. Everyone is different though.

I hope you find someone who can give you some constructive help.

Me too. And not somebody who says "Happy Holidays" when you've told said person you HATE the holidays and why! Talk about lack of insight and empathy, and someone who doesn't belong in this line of work. I ended up telling her she ought to know better, going on for about 10 minutes about how what I've told her didn't sink in. No rebuttal from her, just silence so she must have agreed.

Can't get away from anxiety. Increased klonopin and buspar aren't helping much. I'm ready to give up. I'm 59 now and had anxiety since 13.

I'm anxious today because I couldn't take a shower this morning. I was scared. My last shower was difficult. So I missed out on a family gathering today.

I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious this morning. I have a lot I have to do today, especially this morning because I have to work most of the day.

Can't calm down. Went to ER Tues., all they did was give me ativan and a lecture. Nurse talked to me for 45 minutes about his antique hunting!

Shopping online and Ebay makes me happy.

Anxious I might have ruined my car, as I was driving on a flat tire but didn't know it. The driver next to me at a stoplight was actually nice enough to tell me! It didn't feel any different, like that bouncing up and down one sees in the movies. NOW I'm so anxious and worried I'll have more costly repairs, draining my account almost. I don't even know how long it's been that way.

I have a doctor’s appointment today over video and I just know she’s going to bug me about my weight (yet again).

I know I need to lose weight, but I just don’t have the motivation or the ability to care enough about myself to do so.

Bank account is negative, I don't get paid until tomorrow and I"m accruing fees. Considering all that, I'm not that anxious for some reason.

My doctor is on my back about my cholesterol and blood sugar. This is a different one from my original who retired. Retired doctor said my risk for heart disease is really low.

Like you I'm supposed to eat certain things and lose weight, but food is one of the few things left to enjoy. Of course comfort foods.....I don't like carrots or celery to "snack" on, esp. raw! I can't eat raw carrots, I'm not Bugs Bunny! I'm trying them cooked with cinnamon, to see if they are tolerable.

Tomorrow I have an eye doctor appointment for the first time in way too long. I’m told they don’t dilate your eyes anymore but I don’t know for sure.

Nor does it help that my cousin told me horror stories about it when I was little.
