I went to my college class this morning and I felt anxiety. The lecture was about mitosis and disease of cells

Had talk with daughter about situation with her boyfriend, moving, and getting another job. That was rough, but now it's done and she's moving along.

Day two of sinus infection. Still have to take a lot of meds to get through the day. Husband is feeling even worse. I did three loads of laundry and vacuumed the main floor. Still need to do meal planning but I'm just not motivated.

A lot of stress today but I'm managing.

Yesterday I was very panicky. Today my anxiety is average for me, which is still high compared to a typical person.

Did a poetry reading at the college this afternoon. I'm now terrified. I felt my poems suck, and my delivery sucked. I probably dissed myself in front of the entire English department. Arrrgh!

Other than that it was a normal day.

My old friend panic is back. Over the last few months, I didn't have real panic attacks. I just felt really anxious the whole time which is also really uncomfortable and scary but better to deal with. However, over the last month, it kinda changed back to panic attacks + constant worrying. Today I felt like my tongue is swelling up and I am going to choke. Also had to return from my walk earlier than planned bc I couldn't breath anymore.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my anxiety is probably nearing 50 today

Talked to my therapist yesterday. She helped with countering the negative self-talk.

I had another headache this morning so taking it easy today.

Anxiety is down a bit. Still working on that.

Having much fear and anxiety today in addition to other things. (Mixed state) I am too anxious to get stuff done, but now I'm afraid and anxious of the thought to try to do my hobby of writing, anxious to get into that vulnerable and happy place only to get interrupted. So I curled up in bed and started forums and crying. :/

Did some housework today. Three loads of laundry, swept kitchen and hallway, vacuumed living room and master bedroom. That was about all my back could take.

Didn't sleep much again. My legs were restless and my feet were hot. Hopefully will be better tonight.

I'm managing my anxiety okay for the moment.

Just realized I'm a bit anxious about the possibility of not having therapy covered anymore after a certain point with our current insurance. This ever a concern for others here? Do you take out a second insurance? I don't think that's gonna happen for me, so I'm... I dunno. I am blocking this out right now. I'm just too depressed to care, but I know I'll have to deal with it. The phone call alone will give me anxiety. I hope there is good news though. I could really benefit from therapy right now.

Pnurse didn't send in a new prescription for a higher dose of Viibryd. I don't think I need it as I feel fine right now.

Talked to daughter's boyfriend's mother this afternoon. Looking to see if we can get him going on moving out and taking responsibility for his share of the costs. We set an intervention for early May.

Got my hair done as well. Looks really bright, but I know that'll change in a few days.

Anxiety is up but manageable.

I was anxious today to get this one chore done. Now I'll be anxious about clean up, but I just had to lay down when I was done. Also anxiety about making my word counts for this writing challenge. I'm a little short for today. Might try to write more but my back is starting to ache from the posture. and I'm only halfway through the month. Guess I could handwrite, but it's slower and then my hand cramps. Lol

Wrote a few poems yesterday. I still behind on that, but might put that on the back burner and put together a book with poems I've already done. I think I have enough of them.

Just trying to keep myself from worrying about the future at this point. I have physical therapy for my neck and shoulders. I still have other appointments. I need to stay relaxed.

I am calm as hell right now, but I'm afraid later I'll get anxious when hubby comes home and finds I've not done much today (well, I'm doing laundry, but no dinner/lunch for tomorrow) and I won't be doing much tomorrow either since I will be out most of the day. *sigh*

I’m feeling a little anxious this morning. Mornings are the worst for me. I take two Ativan with breakfast, which helps. I quit drinking a month ago, so that has helped with my anxiety and depression, but I can tell I’m still not out of the woods yet. But I’m determined to make this a good day!

Not doing much today. Wrote some poems and picked a chicken. Need to take a shower still.
I was going to work out but felt bloated and tired. Want to take a nap but too awake on Latuda. Had weird dreams about being in the military again and being happy.

Anxiety is okay for now.

Having some anxiety today. Social anxiety and doctors/health anxiety.
The social anxiety was a bit of a mix of anxious and exciteable energy. I like hanging out with this person, but it's still new for us and it's still "perfect" and I have anxiety about keeping things "perfect". Ya know?
Then the health anxiety, well my bp was a little low today when I checked and I was nervous/anxious about the visit. Nothing in particular, just that I got everything told that needed to be told. Oh, plus the anxiety around being on time and all that. (we were early and got in quicker. that was a plus!) But yeah, I'm not feeling the best today and anxiety is there. Oh!

The kicker! My anxiety med is very likely messing with my preexisting condition, which obviously increases anxiety, but I'm now more anxious to actually take it. So yeah, overall a pretty anxious day, sadly. Could use the hugs metaphorically of course. i don't even feel much good for hugs with this feeling right now. *sigh* Hoping I feel better soon.

edit: literally just heard back from the pdoc. "now you only take this med as needed" *sigh That's it??! I mean, don't i have chronic anxiety?? I'm anxious right now...ugh! why don't I think of these things when I'm on the phone. Anyway, well I think I'll stop for awhile and see how I feel. *sigh what a day!

I realized I have so much money because I cannot handle being in a store for more then 5 minutes. So I either leave without buying anything, or only buy what I came in for. I noticed in October that stores have been very crowded even during the week. I thought it was holiday traffic, but it didn’t slow down. At least where I live, the checkout lines at the grocery store can be through the store in the middle of the week. The thrift store was jam packed today and it was only 10 in the morning.

I mean, it’s benefiting me that I only go to work.
