I started taking a medication for something else that really knocked out my anxiety so I haven't posted here in awhile. The medication caused extreme sleeplessness so my pdoc has taken me off of it. Expecting the anxiety back any day now. It was a nice break while it lasted. I look wistfully at those not afflicted with crippling anxiety.
Sending hugs to those that are struggling today. |

People said hello or smiled at me while I was walking. Means I don't look so tense I think, and I've been feeling a bit more grounded the past couple of days. I hope this is some kind of turning point. We'll see.

I did a meditation and it opened up a bunch of childhood memories. Not good ones, either. I wrote a lot of poems and it cleared my mind a bit.
Husband and I are going out to dinner. Fondue, yum! We couldn't get a reservation for tomorrow so we're doing it tonight. Kids are going to daughter's boyfriend's house since his mom's birthday is also tomorrow. Anxiety is going up and down so I'm rolling with it. |

pretty rough, hand a really bad anxiety attack last night due to other health issues. I haven't had one in a while and now I'm on edge about it. Extremely worried I'll get another one. Not to mention I haven't been to school in two days and don't know when or if I'll be able to go back.

Well, I'm still optimistic [why, I'm not sure] but had a rough day today. As soon as there are people present I'm triggered into an almost psychotic low, it's horrendous. Meds are helping to a degree but I'm still not functioning at the level I'd like to. I'll have another natter with my doctor the next time I see him. Feels like I'm just clutching at straws now though.

My dad called and say they are taking him to the hospital because he didn't feel well at work. I think it's his blood pressure. I feel anxious

Spent most of the morning with a sinus headache and an upset stomach. My hairdresser texted me to come in early, so I did that to take my mind off my head. I feel a little better now, but kind of sad I didn't get anything productive done.

Have I mentioned before I can't trust the good in my life? I am anxious today wondering when the axe will fall.

Wish I could find the "off" switch to my anxiety today. It's making me miserable this morning.

Started back on Lexapro last week (10mg for 1 week, 20mg since this Monday) ago due to some GAD showing its face and coming out as extreme anger. Think Lex is working because had a huge family fight last night and I did not even feel a slight need to lose it.

Arrrgh--woke up at 2:30AM and couldn't go back to sleep because my mind decided we had black mold in the house and that's making us all sick. My husband said he hasn't found any but that was before the roof leak so who knows. Finally got my chest to finally relax this afternoon. Haven't had an anxiety attack like that in a while.
We went to our favorite burger place, picked up drinks at the bookstore, and walked the mall for a bit. Back and feet were hurting a little after that. Making meatloaf for dinner so that's cooking. Will have to think of a side but that's about 45 minutes away. |

Had a fairly good day by my standards. My anxiety/panic wasn't triggered and I had a real feeling of "okay, it's possible life could become enjoyable again." Remaining hopeful.

Last night and today, I'm feeling better about an anxiety thing, and kind of worse about a grad school / ADHD thing. But feeling better about the anxiety thing is making me feel calmer and more like I'll be able to handle things. I think I need to remember that if I let myself feel "okay" about certain things, it will help. This is the first "check-in" I posted in. Kind of nice because I just wanted to tell someone this
I've started participating on this forum more lately. I'm a little anxious about the idea of anyone I know coming on here and finding some post that is somehow identifying to me. It would have to be a close enough friend that they already know some of what I've posted on here. But there are things I've posted on here that I don't want to tell anyone IRL, at least not now. |

My right leg has been hurting for a couple of days. I suspect strained and tight muscles but of course it just doesn't end there.
Even though I slept well last night, I still took a nap. My husband is taking my daughter to her friends later, then stopping at the store. I haven't decided whether to go or not. My anxiety is worsening and that means I want to isolate more. |

My anxiety has been through the roof. I will be taking a trip and plane ride later this week. I'm not someone who likes a change in routine, and I fear being in a confined space with strangers.
Took my fluoxetine in the night today to see how it would be and it just kept me up. I am now finally coming down and feeling better (for now). Reading these forums calms me right down. |
