Anxiety Daily Check-In point #5

Still anxious but trying to add a gentle voice when the anxious thoughts come rather than an inpatient, judgemental one.

one of my wheels has fallen off my computer chair- and it kind of feels like it's leaning towards one side, and I know if it goes, I'll be on the floor. slightly anxious that it will, and that I'll have to get a new one- since I can't fix things like that, it will stay like that until either someone comes round to have a go, or it breaks

on the pplus side, I watched a programme today with someone called vicky as one of the contestants (and vicky is a name that makes me anxious). she went on to win the jackpot, and I just sat watching it. I feel a little impressed with that

I’m still dealing with anxiety but it’s not too bad. It’s the stress and pressure from work that’s difficult. I have lost 5 pounds since Saturday because of it.

I'm probably going to see my doctor tomorrow for my refill. I notice that my appetite has changed a bit, otherwise i'm okay.

My manager wasn’t there today. We actually didn’t have a manager working with us today. So there wasn’t any anxiety. But there was still so much stress and pressure.

My anxiety was real bad today. I realized last night after looking at my pill pack I’m about 10 days away from getting my period. With PMDD you can begin to PMS as early as 2 weeks before your period. So I’m wondering if that’s the majority of where these mood swings and anxiety are coming from.

But I’d give my anxiety a 9 even with the 2 Xanax and being off work.

I went to my doctor yesterday for my Prozac refill. The rules has changed since there is a new owner/ doctor and they want everyone to visit every three months for one refill. I can't afford to go every three months since I don't have insurance, i'm feeling upset about that.

High high high anxiety can’t eat can’t sleep
Can’t breathe

Mountaindewed · Nov 09, 2018 at 06:51 PM

My anxiety actually wasn’t that bad today. Maybe only like a 2. I didn’t even take a Xanax when I was at work. Maybe it was low because I took one late last night instead of yesterday afternoon. Anyways it was a nice break from how I have normally been feeling.

I keep getting these anxious intrusive thoughts about emotional abuse that went on at a treatment center when I was a teenager. I wonder if I have CPTSD. The only time I ever really brought it up to a therapist (after leaving treatment) I got yelled at and told I did not have PTSD. So I never really mention it to anyone. The thoughts just get me angry and anxious and moody. They happen around 8 in the morning. They don’t affect how I work. If anything I work faster because they cause me to space out.

So yeah I had a bunch of these anxious thought this morning. Then I just had general anxiety off and on until 3 or so. Now it’s pretty much gone.

My supervisor will marry this Sunday. He hosts the wedding party at a very far place. I actually don't want to go because it's damn far and the bus to get there stops to operate after 8 PM. Taking uber car is so costly. I will get home at the midnight because of the distance. It makes me anxious because it is night. I fear my safety. I wish I have and could drive a car.

I hate this, but unfortunately I've got to come since he is my supervisor. It would damage my assessment if I don't. I hate it.

Anxiety over sleeping is getting better, still have a lot of anxiety about doing new things but I'm going to confront that by going to a science museum tomorrow

Yzen · Nov 13, 2018 at 12:55 PM

Having a difficult time controlling my anxiety today at work. Days like this make me wish I had a coworker I could talk to about my anxiety, but there is no one I trust. I am alone.

giddykitty · Nov 13, 2018 at 06:30 PM

anxious about whether or not there will be enough food for dinner and lunch tomorrow.

Mountaindewed · Nov 13, 2018 at 08:07 PM

My anxiety wasn’t too bad today. This one Xanax a day instead of two seems to work better.

Sunflower123 · Nov 14, 2018 at 09:29 PM

I’ve been without my Xanax ER for about 6 days now and my anxiety is starting to rise.

Mountaindewed · Nov 15, 2018 at 07:57 PM

My anxiety at work was really bad today. I hate it at morning meetings when
A manager stares at me when talking about what my department needs to improve in. I’m sure she doesn’t mean anything by it. I think it was just because I was the only one in my department in her line of sight. I took my Xanax early. I took it at 10:15 this morning. I’ve been up since before 2 and I am dealing with PMDD. I have 4 days left of my pills until I take my placebo. I’m also dealing with the holiday anxiety and I think I’m getting physically sick too. Also some weirdo messaged me on Facebook which was unsettling since this is a trigger of mine. I’m doing good with the one Xanax a day instead of two. I’m not going to tell my doctor this. I want to stockpile them in case something happens. I know this is probably not a good way to think.

88Butterfly88 · Nov 16, 2018 at 06:35 PM

Been doing okay. Xanax doesn't appear to be helping much anymore. Been taking it less and haven't been any more anxious without it but have been getting headaches, I suspect it's withdrawal. I see pdoc soon, am hoping I can switch to Ativan or something else.

Mountaindewed · Nov 16, 2018 at 08:53 PM

My anxiety at work wasn’t too bad. during break my coworker fell asleep. It was just me and her and I couldn’t just leave her there. So I had to wake her up and tell her break was over. It was sort of anxiety provoking since I don’t know her very well and I haven’t had good results with waking people up before. She told me she was glad I woke her up. She said she probably would have continued to sleep.

This afternoon I went to the mall and of course it was crowded and I went into a shoe store where I’ve been many times before. Each time I’ve been there I’ve dropped $70-$80 on a pair of shoes and everyone’s been really nice. Today they were just weird and not very friendly. My mom noticed it too. I guess I can’t blame them. It is the weekend before Thanksgiving and I’m sure they are stressed about Black Friday and have deadlines and quotas to meet. It was just kind of odd. I felt like it was me who was acting odd even though my mom said it wasn’t.
