I have a lot of anxiety. I am on new medicine for it. I am so tired of anxiety.

I really don't have any anxiety today. I just need to keep moving. I have to stop wasting time, or it will come back.

My anxiety is better, but my depression is worse. It is always something.

Anxietywise, at this moment, I feel terrified. I wish all of you the very best.

Lots of anxiety yesterday morning. No one knows what to do - outpatient Dr says he can't help and just got out of hospital - thinking of going back in. Had this for 45 years.

I'm still enjoying an anxiety-free spell, after coming out of a period of excruciating anxiety. So I'm not sure what I'm going to say to the pdoc, when I get the appointment that my primary is setting up.

Ideally, I'ld like to have some Ativan available on standby for if and when that anxiety comes back. I doubt the pdoc will give me that.

My new medicine for anxiety seems to be helping quite a bit. I have to take a PRN sometimes but it's not nearly as bad as it was. Now depression has reared it's ugly head. It's always one thing or another

Lately my blood pressure is usually 120-130/75-80. After giving someone a negative review (hotel--not helpful to rehash), my BP went up to 150/80. Lots of time, businesses have problems because of short staffing. I don't like criticizing people--we pay a price when we have to do that but potential customers need to be warned.

Maybe I will be able to reduce/calm my anxiety in a little while. Some sunshine gave me a feeling of hope that I've been needing.

Took my anxiety medicine this morning but then later needed a PRN. I hope this anxiety thing gets under control soon. I did get some aromatherapy to help with the nausea--since I get a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety--and it worked great but even though you put it under your nose, it kind of left a weird taste in my mouth. So I don't love it but it's something.

I triggered my anxiety yesterday when I used baking soda to clean the stove before using the special cleaner. I managed to calm myself down.

What is a PRN? Anyone? Yeah I looked it up and it seems to be Latin (?) for “as needed”.

I wish I could stop anticipating stuff or thinking about what MIGHT happen. I couldn’t sleep for hours last night waiting for my upstairs neighbor to make noise. And when he didn’t it was a weird type of change or disruption. And I hate both.

Anxiety has been pretty bad lately. But I'm trying to cope with it.

My anxiety is better today. It's now & then. Maybe because I'm sleep deficient & half asleep?

Klonopin is helping me get thru the day the last week. But it usually wears off in a couple weeks then I'll be back to the drawing board looking for relief again.

Does so-called “box breathing” work for anyone at all, even a little?

Yes I use it pretty frequently. But I find that I have to use it over and over. I use it with medication too. HUGS Kit

My anxiety was bad this morning. I was up at 2 AM because I was feeling so distressed! But it is better at the moment. It could change in the blink of an eye.

I guess I need to be consistent and use it more. Anxiety Daily Check-In point #8 I tried it a few times and they say one is supposed to do it at least 4 minutes! That seems like an eternity.

It might have helped last night when I was trying not to anticipate stuff.
