I have restlessness from akathisia, so that's what I usually mean when I say that. I keep it different than anxiety. No worries though.

Been at hospital most of the day. Found out my PCM is leaving for a fellowship in August, so I will probably get a new resident. Joy. Meanwhile, the doc I saw didn't have a clue what the lump on my chin is either, so he's sending me to an ENT specialist next week. All I really need is a formal ultrasound...ugh! They're thinking a problem with a salivary gland though so we'll see. Picked up my Lipitor from last week and my husband got his blood pressure med. That took most of the afternoon, with us getting some small stuff and coming home in time to feed the cats. One hour left before I start making dinner. Yay!

Thankfully I see regular T tomorrow afternoon and that's it. If the room stays cold I may crawl back into bed.

I shouldn't be worried because no one found anything bad with the lump, but I am.

It was terrible all day. I shouldn’t have had that coffee though. The cotton candy I’m eating now isn’t helping either.

After having terrible anxiety and non-stop negative thoughts about life, work, and my boyfriend, I'm finally coming around.

Not sure if that was PMS-related; I mostly think I have difficulty practicing mindfulness. I can't remember the last time I simply enjoyed something in the moment. I used to listen to music every night, listen to all the little details, it was complete euphoria, and for the past few months music has given me anxiety. I think I'm finally coming around, but usually when that happens, something terrible sets me back and I'm all anxious again...

I am trying "Joy-Filled" herbal supplements, which contain St. John's Wort amongst other things, which may or may not be helping? It's only been a couple days... we'll see.

Daughter will have a job once she completes training. Yay! Her boyfriend had his interview for the bank today. Don't know how he did yet.

Got through therapy, but now akathisia and tardive dyskinesia are kicking in again. Just trying to calm down so my lips stop puckering and I don't eat everything. I so need to call my pnurse.

The morning wasn’t bad. The trip to the grocery store was bad. I have no idea how I managed to work at that store for 1.5 years. Work was stressful for the first 3 hours. I was working with someone from a different store. I couldn’t tell if she was overly nice in a fake way or if she had legit issues. She was talking to herself alot. At one point I guess she had misplaced something and she said “it must be lost in space.” I wasn’t judging her it was just anxiety provoking working with a new person and just being at work in general. I started feeling better around 6:15.

Had a panic attack today, but got through it by myself and didn't tell anyone. Been having normal stomach processes but I always think its something worse and that's giving me anxiety. Also will be starting a new job soon, so I'm rather anxious about having panic attacks on the job.

Yesterday was better. I'm taking metoprolol now for migraine prevention and it also seems to block my body response to anxiety. Still, mornings are worst. And I hope this effect doesn't wear off like the benzo's.

I also figured out the problems in my life giving me the anxiety. I also know possible solutions. I'm scared of the solutions. And it's difficult to do actual action. My way of seeing certain things in life and experiencing them is also problematic. I still have a lot of work to do.

Parents fought. Showed bit of emotions. After the crap stopped hitting the fan, I logged in here.

Cause after all I have to pass time all my life now.

(copied from biplolar checkin)

So... preparing for house guests in 3 or 4 days. My biggest concern rigth now are the upstairs a/c units. (we have central air but it doesn't cool enough upstairs). My concern is that with both of them running, we might trip a breaker. This is bad news because it shuts off the power to the whole upstairs. And my biggest concern, I will have trouble sleeping with this terrible anxiety and the whole visit will be difficult as a result. I'm trying desperately to kick the worrisome thoughts, but then on top of it, we get a heat wave predicted. Sigh But I'm trying. Gotta hope that it works out or there will be some solution.

If that wasn't anxiety, I don't know what is! But I'm hanging in....or not. *sigh As I type this there is more to stress about. Might have to increase the dose of my anti-anxiety med. hmm

Quiet day, finally. Only have one appointment next week. Tried to call pnurse's office yesterday and it was closed for training.

Husband told me if I have to change my meds we're not doing anything to the house until I'm stable. He feels he won't be able to handle fixing up the house while I'm adjusting to meds. So I have to stay in a house I didn't want to begin with, and was abused by my ex in, until I get better. I get it but still...I told him if that's the case I want the ceilings fixed so I don't have to keep looking at the water damage. The roof is fixed and no more leaks so it can be done. And I will set up my home office again so I can use my desktop.

So I have been dealing with akathisia this morning and fussing a bit, but not much I can do at this point but try to chill. Doesn't help the anxiety much either.

It wasn’t too bad today. When I think about the incident at work I feel like throwing up. But when I don’t think about it I’m feeling fine.

yesterday was a high anxiety evening- short of it is, a lady near me is called angela, and sometimes when I know she's around it causes me flashbacks. she was around yesterday, and their was a time.. maybe a 15/ 20 minit time frame, where I just was lost in the flashback.

it's weird, I want to just walk up to her and say angela... you cause me flashbacks- and this is why you cause them, but who am I kidding

for starters, the reason she causes me flashbacks is embarrassing (or at least to me), and secondly, you don't just walk up to someone in the street and tell them " hey, you make me anxious".

I'm okay now.. maybe about a 5/10 on the anxiety sscale, but she's going to be here tonight so blah. just need to get through it I guess

Hmm lack of sleep and rest made this day pretty tough =w= My family/friends absolutely want me to go out with them but I just want to stay home and chill.. It's been two weeks since I haven't got proper rest.. Seriously, trying to balance studies, relationships and self-care is not easy

Awful. I went to theater today with a friend. Our conversation made me anxious. The movie was nice though.

Changed my supplements around to see if that would help with the side effects. Also kept busy with laundry. Didn't do too much else since it's hot outside and the house is heating up. I have a headache and some TD but seem to be okay otherwise. Still calling pnurse's office tomorrow, though.

I did do some rummaging around in my memento bin and took some stuff out. It's still heavy, but I moved some lighter stuff into another bin. The big one is heavy with yearbooks and photo albums, so that didn't change much.

May have to put off cleaning the house until Wednesday when it cools down some.

Anxiety is better.

Anxiety has been better the last two days. I think it's the medication I take for the migraines. I'm glad to feel a bit better now. It was too tiring.

Tomorrow work again.

I just had a little bit of anxiety in the afternoon. I found a way to distract myself though.

I took an Ativan last night. That might of been why the anxiety was low today.
