Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8

I have some anxiety because I'm not sleeping well.

My anxiety was really really rough this morning as a result of physical issues and lack of sleep. Now I feel ok and my night meds are actually working this evening. I took the correct dose of Geodon.

My anxiety has been lower this week. I instead feel tired and not motivated to do too much.

yesterday, while I was just sitting here with my thoughts, I felt the overwelming fear that someone was going to



I didn't know who, and I didn't know why, and I've not had to deal with these fears before

maybe I'm just.... ****ed up. as always

My anxiety wasn’t bad today. My Valium actually worked. I’ve been without Geodon for about 15 hours so I’m starting to begin to need my 20 mil. I’ll take the 80 later. My surgeon said I don’t have any restrictions anymore so I can start using my weighted blankets again. I got a weighted vest too the other week that I hope will help. But today wasn’t bad.

Am mildly on edge and have a sense of dread

my anxiety went sky high over a thought of what if ? All over thinking I was having a heart attack :sadhug

Anxiety has brought me to tears today. It is so frustrating that I try different things during these episodes of anxiety (although I feel some level of anxiety pretty much all of the time). Waiting for this medication change to work. It might be as much as 2 weeks. Feeling discouraged.

On guard .Less on edge

I was very anxious today. I'm only supposed to work 40 hours a week. I'm not salaried. And my client was asking me about progress today and asking me to do things for him. It's Saturday. For crying out loud, I'm supposed to be off.

I feel pretty calm today.

That is good

Most of the time I don't have any big problem with anxiety.

I came to this forum today because, right now, I am very anxious. It started yesterday morning and escalated today. It is horrid. I don't know how you all survive. The main thing I have to manage is depression. As bad as that can be, I find strong anxiety to be twenty times worse.

Though I don't get it often, when I get it, it can be extreme. That's how today is.

I been fighting my winter anxiety today

I was doing good until until I started getting nauseous at 1:15 this morning.

I am also having a hard time with anxiety, which of course makes the sadness worse, feeling dread, begging certain someones to please stop.

My anxiety is not as bad as yesterday. If I get busy and take care of my responsibilities, I believe I'll get past this anxiety. My house is messy. Mail sits unopened. I have to make myself do things. Otherwise, I'll get more and more anxious, until I'll be in a nightmare state.

Just found this thread, I think I’m in the latest thread but some posts show thread #6 and #7, as well as #8. It says 8 at the top of the screen and posts from today. I noticed 2 threads as #8 and 1 as #7 and they are all open! Very sleep deprived today so someone help me get the “new” thread.

Seems the wrong quote appears as you said something about thinking what might happen.

Buffy I feel like that all the time. What if? Then what if this happens cause of that? The anticipation is worse than the event. Last night I just slept 3 hours cause of my upstairs neighbor. I was waiting for him to make more noise so why try to drift off? I’ll just get startled awake again. Damn crap of a building with the thinnest construction.

I think, if it’s quiet did he go out? What if he comes home as I drift off?

And the more I think about it the more awake I am. And later it gets the worse the anxiety as I think how I have to sleep.

I’m sorry that your anxiety are giving you a hard time.

I feel awful. I have been trying to see my provider. Today they told me she could see me in April.

I texted her that I was having severe anxiety, which is very unusual for me. I want an increase in my psych med.

I just about never ask for any attention to my psych issues. I just tell them when to reorder my antidepressant. I pick it up at the pharmacy and take it. I'm pretty low maintenance.

I'm really hurt. I thought my provider cared a little more than this.

Another poor night of sleep waiting for my neighbor to make noise, anticipating it. Not sure if I heard any but still so anxious about what might happen. And the more I tried not to think about him or the fact I was still awake and need a full night’s sleep, the worse it got.

I'm ok. I wouldn't say I'm anxious today. That's good. Bad anxiety is such an awful thing. I've always found it worse than depression. Today, I got a break from it.

Feeling just a small amount of anxiety today. And I'm trying to figure out what, specifically, is causing it.
