Today I am feeling okay so far and not feeling anxious. I'm planning on drinking some relaxing tea later and removed caffeine from my diet. I believe this will help me.

I had a panic attack this morning that I had to take a klonopin. I thought I was going to lose control.

My anxiety has been kinda bad these past couple days but I’ve been managing with just the one visteral and only one Xanax which I think is pretty good.

Anxiety up today. I've resolved to let be what will be right now as far as I'm so tired and I worked myself to exhaustion. But I'm still anxious about husband's reaction to what I did today and my current exhausted state, that it's still not enough, even though I practically met my goal...well, no I didn't. I didn't end up cooking or do the dishes. I can't do it! I can't do what he And my doctor are asking me to do! I tried! I really tried! And I'll keep trying, but so far I've failed every time. Boo!

I can’t tell if my visteral makes things worse or not. I take one and things are ok for about an hour, then I need a Xanax. I can’t tell if it’s just the anxiety returning, or if the visteral is causing problems. I took a Xanax half an hour ago and my anxiety is still crappy for some reason. I have work tomorrow but I haven’t been there for 3 days and then I’m off for another 3 days. Idk. Maybe my anxiety is bad because I haven’t been working. Things are confusing right now. I might also need to eat right now.

I hate anxiety!!!!! Got triggered by something last night and was up all hours of the night worrying about it, ruminating over it. Still not sure if this is bipolarish or just flat out anxiety. (again, my dx is general anxiety and unspecified bipolar). And then today I reacted over this and shared my thoughts with a few close folks on that site and also declared publicly that I'm taking a break...after logging out, I came to realize that I missed my anxiety med yesterday. *facepalms I also wanted to go back to sleep for another hour, but I was damn awake. Ugh! I might try to nod off now though. Not particularly confident in that though. I'll probably get too hungry or something. Sigh!

I have this weird cold sweat type of anxiety right now. Plus a headache. But I’ve had terrible anxiety since last night. Not sure if I’m getting sick or if it’s just plain anxiety. I always go for the anti anxiety meds before Tylenol though so I’ll probably take a Xanax or visteral.

Anxious about both-either driving alone in the snow or walking in the cold to get groceries for dinner. Also feeling pressure about getting this and the cooking done. :/ I also stress ate a whole meal only 2 hours after my breakfast. Figured I needed the fuel for the walk, but didn't need all of that. :/

Major anxiety here. Going here calms it.

Server went down at work, had to scramble to bring it up. Bad job for anxiety.

I was so relieved yesterday when my anxiety just disappeared about 45 minutes into my flight.
Now I've just gotten an update about my flight tomorrow - a severe storm is set to hit the UK. I really don't want to have to get on a plane during that!
I trust that they won't fly if it's not safe, that's not what I'm worried about, it's either going to be a very unpleasant flight or a day and possibly a night of hanging around the airport if we can't fly.

Just the usual anxiety but nothing major.

Anxiety going through the roof. I need to get some sleep, alarm is going off in 4,5 hours but I'm so nervous. I hate flying even in normal weather. I don't want to feel like I'm on a rollercoaster in the air. They're making a pretty big deal out of this storm.

At least we should have landed before the storm hits my destination.

My anxiety has been awful today. 2 Xanax and a visteral and no relief. The last Xanax I took around 2 and it was like a water pill or something. Weird.

So if I can fit half a Digiorno's pizza into my 1200 calories then I’m going to do that instead of eating 1200 calories of rabbit food. Food doesn’t affect my mental health one way or the other. I don’t have issues with food or use it to cope and am not a stress eater. What I feel has nothing to do with food. But pizza sure tastes better then salad and apples.
Thanks, Mountaindewed--I knew there was a (yet another) reason I liked RuPaul. 'Addiction to anxiety' sure makes sense. I never made sense of it this way either, but there must be some sort of payoff, if only familiarity, right? . . . I think your point about food also makes sense. Sometimes when we feel we have to eat 'healthy,' it takes so much effort that it too could add to our anxiety.
Have a low-anxiety day (and I'll try to do the same)!

Hello, BreakForTheLight-- I'm retired, but when I worked I found that anticipating the dreaded alarm clock added to my anxiety and made it harder to sleep. I therefore always made sure I had as soothing an alarm sound as possible and as gentle an option (snooze, for example). I still hate alarm clock sounds--but I hope someday to see them as the supportive little helpers they can be.

My anxiety has not been good. I have taken half a klonopin in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. I'm listening all day to guided meditations

My anxiety has been a 9.5 out of 10 consistently since midnight. No clue as to why. I’ve had Xanax and visteral. I didn’t even want to go out for steak and lobster for lunch and that’s real bad.

My anxiety was moderate this afternoon, causing irritability toward my mother. I always feel worse after I respond poorly to minor situations. Fortunately, my mom is used to all of that by now, so she did not take it personally after I explained the cause and apologized. I'm feeling a bit better tonight because everyone else has gone to bed and I'm listening to my music while working on a few tasks.
