When are you most anxious?

I'm crippled with anxiety right now! I actually just jumped on this forum right now to try and connect right now and not sit in silence dwelling. I did put on Tori Amos' "Little Earthquakes" to take me back to when I was listening to it a lot in my early 20s and go back to that point in time when I was young. Music was my savior. My anxiety has been out of control lately where I'm popping klonopin like its going out of style (and drinking more). I'm feeling anxiety right now cause it's another weekend spending it alone in my house. I had a day date lined up today to go bowling but the guy I just started dating got stuck in the bay and may or may not be able to see me later so that caused me anxiety...work tomorrow is causing me anxiety...finances (always)...I find just talking to someone for 10 minutes helps alleviate my anxiety. I keep this from my friends because I don't want to be unloading on them. So i find this forum helpful. I feel you and hope you feel better

Another case of driving anxiety. I imagine horrible things happening on the road, like an 18-wheeler having a blowout and I get hit with the shredded tire, or breaking down on the freeway. I'm also something of a ditz, forgetting to check the mirrors for minutes at a time and getting lost even within my own city.

I had a single-car accident three years ago that totaled my car and scared me half to death. The only reason I am able to drive at all is because my son made me drive the rental car home later that night; if he hadn't I don't think I would have had the courage to get behind the wheel again. My son hates to ride with me because he thinks I drive like somebody's granny; well, I AM somebody's granny! So what if I'm overly careful---I have some spatial issues, like a lack of depth perception and being unable to judge the speed of oncoming vehicles, and I've been compensating for that for over 45 years. LOL.

I'm also very anxious on register at my job during the holidays because its super busy and crowded.

I think for some, depression is the flip side of anxiety. IOW they are connected in some fashion. This is true with me. I do not know which one comes first. I do not know if one actually helps cause the other. What do all of you think?

My job triggers an intensely anxious mood in me....and I have to go every day, no choice there, so I deep breathe, sing to myself, dance around a little (and take my meds) and all seem to help somewhat. I think my anxiety is somewhat related to drinking too much, but it also helps my anxiety so it self feeds.
