Anxiety Daily Check-In point #5

I am a bit anxious about my Dr. apt. tomorrow.

Aug 27, 2018 at 03:36 PM

I have had nothing to be anxious about today.

the sad truth of that is, that I've not actually done anything today either

so it's good and bad

good that I'm not anxious, but bad the day is wasted

That god-awful gnawing feeling in my stomach most of the day. Usually I’m not even anxious about any particular thing — it just comes for no reason. I was able to stay productive today. Last week I had to turn out the lights in my office and just sit in the dark for awhile. But today I stayed out in the light like a normal person. It’s the small victories, right?

It is quite high. I start a new job in mere hours and while I am looking forward to working after six years am more than a little nervous. Even medicated I had a hard time settling down to sleep last night. My mind was spinning.

UPDATE: It went rather well. Sigh. Relief.

I think my anxiety and physical symptoms are related. I don’t think there’s a need to see a doctor.

Orientation went well yesterday and today I start training for the new work. I am really freaking out right now over the most trivial matter. It was never said yesterday where we meet our buddy, what we do with our belongings (are lockers assigned or can I just take an empty one?), what door do I enter after hours? I was so revved up about other stuff that I and no one else thought to ask.

Me again....

I know this isn't serious but I am filled with angst all the same. I have only just found out I have a six month check up with the respirologist to discuss the use of my cpap machine (breathing masks used for sleep apnea) next week. I just know he will chastise me as I have barely used it at all. I am supposed to be aiming for sleeping a full 6hrs minimum with the mask on but I manage 3hrs tops. I have tried - truly I have tried. I wake up after 2-3hrs with this alien on my face, panic and struggle to rip it off. It takes 15min to calm down and realise it was only the mask. It is truly a terrifying event I go through every night.

I also wear a CPAP mask every night. I used different types of masks before I found the best one. Now I can use it every night without problems. It's still annoying to have to wear a mask every night, but you'll see the improvements of the CPAP therapy after a while. Just ask your respirologist to try another mask and don't give up!

Am anxious about another medical issue, and 2nd apt. with new T.

WishfulThinker66 · Aug 30, 2018 at 01:27 PM

So full of anxiety today I threw up.

Blue_Bird · Aug 31, 2018 at 11:03 AM

Had a panic attack yesterday, I think it's because I'm adjusting to a med increase and I'm hyper aware of physical effects which I freak and obsess over until I convince myself I'm dying.

I was able to sit outside for 25 minutes today. It felt great, the weather is perfect and I am glad I didn't miss the opportunity

88Butterfly88 · Aug 31, 2018 at 06:49 PM

Not as anxious as usual today, not sure why but I'll take it. Managed to talk to a friend for a while and it went better than I expected.

Sep 01, 2018 at 04:20 AM

tonight I am going to a funfair

I just feel really panicky and really fritened, I've not done anything like this before

and I feel a panic attack coming on

Sep 01, 2018 at 03:52 PM

so I got to go and managed a while.

couldn't go on any of the rides though

it wasn't really anxiety (well it was to an extent), but I was too fat for the ridee

embarrassing huh?

oh well

my body sucks anyway. I should know that by now

Sep 02, 2018 at 11:10 AM

like the only thing I've had to possibly be anxious about today is the fact I may have a flashback

I hate them so much

but I've not had anything severe today which I am glad of

Today, I'm only anxious about going back to class tomorrow.
About 70% of my anxiety is related to social situations, the other 30% is phobias (mostly anything that looks like a medical needle, I've worked on heights a lot and it's almost non-existent until something gets to skyscraper height, flying is still a challenge).

Mountaindewed · Sep 02, 2018 at 07:35 PM

The fact that I do have great control over my anxiety, I just don’t always choose to control it helped me not to panic and get distressed while swimming today.

So there was a couple moments probably of well deserved anxiety, but I handled it fine.

Manda123 · Sep 02, 2018 at 10:13 PM

Recently got prescribed escitolapram 10mg. I’m terrified to started it because of the beginning side effects. I already feel nauseous everyday from anxiety, I’m scared this will make it worse. I start crying every time I even think about taking it

katydid777 · Sep 03, 2018 at 05:51 AM

So far so good, I am not having a lot of anxiety this morning.
