Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

try to enjoy your self care.

I've been having pretty bad anxiety for hours. This is unusual for me. Mostly I deal with recurring depression. That's bad enough on its own, but anxiety feels a hundred times worse than depression.

It's so stupid but I get anxiety when my mom uses my mugs. It almost feels like I'm being robbed, dumb as that is, even though I know she's not going to actually take them.

We all like our things. It can be unpleasant seeing other people take or use them. That’s a normal feeling.

I have a lot of anxiety related to eye floaters, which are permanent defects in vision that can be seen more in well lit enviroments.


I have an absurd ammount for my age, probably in the top 1% of the population, maybe related to too much screen time and a lot more appered a year ago.


It's rather difficult knowing these things will never go away, except with an expensive and somewhat risky elective surgery that would cause other problems along the way.


I also worry about more and more showing up, sigh, I've been anxiety ridden my whole life but this feels like a turning point, specially because it's so isolating since most people don't suffer from them at my age or if they do they're usually few.


Still, I keep trying to adapt, settle and get it together as best as I can.

I like your member name as a I love Steppenwolf!

I don’t know your age but I’ve had floaters since I was in my 20’s! Over 40 years! Very scary when it first happened. The doctor told me they are more common in very near sighted people which I am. They are distracting and annoying, especially on white or light backgrounds. I once had one that was dark enough to look like a centipede floating in my eye!

I’m scared of laser surgery so deal with hassle and expense of new glasses every few years. And I’m scared to death of cataracts. Surgery is the only way to remove them.

My own anxiety has been fine today I just have one of those feelings I get.

My recent anxiety simmered down. I just hate anxiety, and I don't often get it. Usually I just get depressed. When anxiety comes on top of depression, I feel awful.

I have started to recognize that I get anxious more in the afternoon/ evenings, and I'm actually wondering if it's because my body is starting to shut down and it just thinks.. forget it, I can't fight anymore.

Anxiety is gone for now.

Anxiety over crime and my safety. Mail and package thefts in my building, homeless camp forming on a proposed construction site, etc. Retail thefts, cars stolen, etc. The lawlessness in this country is making me so anxious. Feel so helpless.

I hear you and understand! Anxiety is my normal, and...


^^^this is a routine trigger.

Anyone unemployed here? I’ve been out of work since January.

Lately, I've not been bothered by anxiety. I'm back to plain old depression, which is less distressing than when the anxiety gets thrown into the mix.

I hate anxiety. I hope it stays away.

I wish that I could say that.

I started having : Sick : from allergic reaction to eating raw zucchini.

me too

I’m still feeling jumpy especially lately

I been very jumpy today especially lately and I don’t know why

I haven't had a good day since two days ago because I had an anxiety flare-up. I do not like to be afraid. I start my online class tomorrow so I hoped it would keep my mind occupied.

: sadhug:

I've been anxiety free for quite a while. My formal diagnosis is "major depressive disorder with anxiety." I don't get real anxious all that often. Mostly, I battle just depression. However, when anxiety does enter the picture, it feels even worse than depression. Today I'm having some anxiety about my upcoming trip to visit family. I need to calm it down, but having a hard time. I wish I had some Ativan.

lately I’ve been : afraid: because of how high my anxiety been especially lately

My recent surge in anxiety has simmered down. That's because it got crowded out by worsening depression.

I'm still in bed. I'm dreading my upcoming trip to join family for a funeral. It was making me anxious. Now I'm numb with depression.

I'm mainly depressed right now, but I also have some anxiety again. Being alone makes anxiety worse for me.

I'm going to visit family soon. My last visit went off the rails, with one relative getting hostile toward me over nothing. Maybe things will go better this time.
