anxiety is high today. Not a full on panic attack, but high. I'm fighting it off, but I feel like a chicken with her head cut off. I always go to other people to like remind me to breathe. I need to talk to my therapist pronto about my issues of needing others and how to start doing this on my own. Or develop some signals for when I'm having an issue so my husband knows. Sadly, I'm always a little bit anxious, so he'll get easily frustrated with me if I do this too much. He doesn't know how much this sucks though!!
I see my therapist today. I am sneaking in one more session, at least, and this sneakiness is causing anxiety, but I'm feeling desperate. __________________ Celexa (Citalopram) 20mg Levothyroxine .75mg Liothyronine 5MCG (2x daily) Probiotics And a whole slew of vitamin and herbal supplements. |

Daughter is having a lot of anxiety today. Her cat is fine, but bored and wants to get out to the rest of the house. With stairs between the food and the litter box that is a no go until next week. She didn't get the job at the grocery store because her boyfriend is working there. And one of her friends is stranded downtown without gas money because his mother said he shouldn't get more money for seeing his friends. This rolls down on my husband and I because we have to drive her downtown (her boyfriend will be at work), and we'll have to take her to more job interviews. She may also miss her convention in August because most places have a 90 day probation period so she won't be able to take time off. In addition this means their moving plans may be shelved, because she wants to build up her savings again after paying for school and cat.
I think I'm going to make some meatloaf tonight and call it a day. Thankfully we didn't spend much on groceries. Anxiety is high but I'm breathing through it. |

I went on a train today into a different town which always makes me pretty anxious but I could deal quite well with it today. Trying to breathe normally and reminding myself that it's only panic worked this time. Also, I called a psychiatrist today. I put that off for 2 weeks but today was the day. Now waiting for him to call me back.

Some anxiety 1.5 hours before my shift was over.
I also remembered about the E. coli outbreak after I bought a Cesar salad. I think all Cesar salad has romaine lettuce? I was wondering why the stores had little to zero Cesar salad. My mom says I’ll be fine. But honestly, I really do need to pay more attention. To everything. |

Another terrible triggering experience in the day today, just awful. I'm a bit mad really, but I bounced back, ready to tackle tomorrow. I'm actually very tired of this.

Went to another park/garden and took more pics. Will look at them later. There was a garter snake in the formal garden so that was cool.
Day has been quiet otherwise. Moved some of my poems to another folder to see if I had enough for another book. I do, almost. Now to start putting them together for publishing. Kids are at school, then meeting up with a friend later on. Hope daughter remembers to feed her cat. Anxiety is still up, but tolerable. |

Did some grocery shopping this morning that went well. Later anxiety started to really creep in. I took a Ativan.

I can't believe my anxiety has been so low even though I am getting off benzodiazepines and Ambien. I really think the magnesium is helping.

Today was pretty good not that much anxiety. My mood was not in the middle however. I’ve been real tired the last week.

Anxiety and stress have been high. Realized that cortisol is likely the main cause of my weight gain and why working out is hard. Ironically, working out is what saves me too. I feel a little better after that like 45-60minute walk. (I think it was that long. At least 30)

Today was a good day. I walked my dog early then got back in bed. I slept for a while then got up and fixed some brunch. I had very very little anxiety all day.

Cleaning day, so clothes and linens are washed. Running the vacuum as soon as my stomach settles from what little lunch I had. I didn't get the correct order and what I got was dried out. The soup had too much of one spice and was otherwise bland.
Eyes are watering and nose is stuffed up still. No sinus headache, thank goodness. The closer we get to intervention day the more anxious I get. I really want to call it off but know we need to go through this. |

My anxiety is doing a lot better than it was this morning. I have morning anxiety relating to PTSD. Anytime I wake up, I get anxiety and tend to freak out sometimes. Think it's because I don't know if I'm safe place or not. And it usually takes me awhile to know my environment and to know that I'm safe. Right now my anxiety is okay and I hope it stays this way.
