Anxiety Daily Check-In point #5

Mountaindewed · Oct 28, 2018 at 04:32 PM

I took my Xanax at 8 last night and I slept for 13 hours and I felt great all morning and early afternoon. No anxiety or anything. I took my scheduled 3PM Xanax and now my anxiety is through the roof. What gives? Should I just take it before I go to bed or what? I’m worried about work again. Plus this whole having trouble multi tasking and then ending up ignoring someone is finally getting me into trouble. My mom talked to me about it today. She said I offended someone today. So it really is an issue. Now I’m just wondering who else I’m offending.

thanks to circumstances, I don't have to go in the elevator today so I'm actually pleased (not so much for the fact I couldn't do what I was going to do for my inner child, but pleased about the elevator)

anxiety is low today.

later on at 2 15 their is a game show on which will have 24 contestants (and I bet you some of those contestants will be females). in this show you don't find out who they are until the host chooses one to play, so what I'm going to do is record it and see how I feel about it later.

I also have nothing planned for dinner, so I probably need to fix that- no, I deffenetely need to fix that

Work was a complete mess when I got there. So my anxiety was pretty bad. Luckily a manager who likes to take charge but is really nice got the back room in order. My anxiety went away and I felt fine the rest of the work day. My anxiety was kind of noticeable after work. I’m feeling better now after taking my night meds.

9/10 I am really anxious about work

Oct 30, 2018 at 07:32 AM

around 4/10 today

Mountaindewed · Oct 30, 2018 at 02:52 PM

It’s bad. Even though I was off work today. I still have the anxiety about work. I hope the other big mess gets cleaned up by tomorrow. Besides that I’ve just had the usual anxiety I’ve had for a few weeks. I don’t think my doctor can help me. I think I have to figure this out myself.

Anxiety wasn't as bad as usual today.

Mountaindewed · Nov 01, 2018 at 05:55 PM

I didn’t actually take my first Xanax until 1 this afternoon. The anxiety at work wasn’t too bad despite the mess still being there. There actually wasn’t too much anxiety in general today. I’m emotionally drained but not anxious. I did end up taking all my night meds including the Xanax around 4:45 this afternoon. But I’d give the anxiety about a 4 today.

Very anxious the past couple of days....about everything.

zapatoes · Nov 01, 2018 at 11:37 PM

Anxious socially always, embarrassed when see co-worker who knows personal info so feel uncomfortable around this person, the person is nice, I just feel awkward/ uncomfortable now. Just always sort of anxious and socially awkward in general.

Like, as you could see, I know how to tell myself that an OCD thought is nothing, but only in the sense I know how to turn it into generalized anxiety.

Anxious OCD thoughts. Wish I knew a doctor who would prescribe Ativan for me. It used to help. Where I go now for mental health they stopped prescribing it to everyone. I take a low dose of Risperdal that helps some but the OCD can be unbearable.

My anxiety wasn’t terrible until I took my second Xanax at 4:45. For some reason the second Xanax makes things worse but I’m having difficulty cutting back to one a day.

WishfulThinker66 · Nov 04, 2018 at 08:33 AM

Till incredibly high. I have lost weight from being sick so very often being wracked with so much anxiety before leaving for work.

Kibou · Nov 04, 2018 at 10:02 AM

I didn't have any anxious thoughts or feelings today so I'm happy !

Mountaindewed · Nov 04, 2018 at 08:27 PM

My anxiety wasn’t too bad today. Then again, I was off work, used my stress relief soap, took my 2 prescribed Xanax, did some retail therapy, drank an entire pot of stress relief tea and I now just finished a cup of tension tamer tea. So.......

A bit worried because my doctor office won't give me a Fluoxetine refill unless I go and it's expensive and my parents want me to stop taking it

Mountaindewed · Nov 05, 2018 at 06:26 PM

I was in an anxiety provoking situation at work all day today with a particular manager. I just had to stay focused on the work and focus on keeping up a steady pace. I managed to do that so there was no issue. I get along with this manager just fine she’s just kind of intimidating. My other coworker actually asked her if she’d be here the rest of the week. So it’s not just me that gets nervous. I work tomorrow and I’m guessing she’ll be there, but I’m not too anxious right now for some reason.

Pati4200 · Nov 06, 2018 at 04:23 AM

I should be going to college today, but I can't find the courage to do it. I feel like I'm failing at all the disciplines and I feel lonely.
I'm so scared.
