I didn't get enough sleep last night and that made my anxiety and hypervigilance worse during the day. I tried to take a nap before going to work but I was in a state of hyperarousal and I couldn't relax. I ended up getting overwhelmed by the noises in the street, and that got progressively worse until I had panic attack.
I'm feeling a little better right now, but I'm exhausted and I have a headache from crying. I need to prepare a few things before going to work but I can't bring myself to concentrate on anything |

Pretty panicked. Have to drive someone to a Dr appt later & since he doesn’t have a phone or live anywhere & is probably going to be fairly drunk by then this should be a good time. If I can find him. Need to take a shower but that makes the ocd worse So i may skip it. Maybe if I can get out early enough I can do it at my friend’s house. Need to just concentrate on getting myself out of the house, which is the hard part.
I had five really good years with hardly any anxiety but lately I am a wreck. No data left so no meditation app. Ah well. Another day. I miss feeling sane.😀 |

A great deal of relief just now. If you recall I quit my job a month ago on account of excruciating anxiety and panic attacks. The anxiety of finances, while not as debilitating, has been on my mind since. Well, I am back from Veterans' Affairs (Canada) and it appears I have qualified for a few financial aid programs. Crossing fingers but my applications have been reviewed and are pending final approval.

I'm doing better today. I'm still struggling with hypervigilance but at least I managed to get a decent amount of sleep

I just had an anxiety provoking situation on Facebook. Someone who bullied me in high school made an off hand passive aggressive remark. I’m not actually friends with this person but for some reason it showed up on my newsfeed. I knew this person 11 years ago and I have had no contact with her since. This kind of stuff freaks me out badly. That people still think this way after so long.

I went to a doctor's appointment. I'm not usually nervous going to see him, but today my anxiety ramped up for some reason. It didn't interfere with my day, just kind of an annoying distraction. Weird.

Went out for some leisure activities and socializing, got overwhelmed with anxiety.
Returned home to my room, everythings fine again. |

I just had a huge chocolate iced coffee and I have to work tomorrow. Of course my anxiety is sky high.

Relief yet again.
For the first time I entered some art work in a gallery show. The opening and reception was last night. Observing people as they stopped and lingered in front of my paintings near made me swoon with relief and delight. Whew. It seems my art was on par with the rest of it. Yay! |

Been pretty worthless all day, except maybe to the cat. Listened to 3 meditation thingies, drank tea. Have not accomplished anything, except taking a couple of messages for people who don’t have phones. Need to come up with another plan for dealing with anxiety (I love how they call it “anxiety” - feels like panic to me). I have too much to do right now & the further behind I get, the more anxious I get. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow will be better..

It’s been 3 days and multiple calls into both the pharmacy and my doctor and he hasn’t called in my Xanax. I have a ton of it. I’m just worried about why he’s not calling it in. I can’t believe he would just leave me on my own. I’m guessing he’s just busy. It does seem kind of rude though.

I don't know if I'm living or just existing...or if there's really even a difference in the grander scheme of things. Anyway, the ball is rolling towards moving from my current abode of nine years to somewhere better...nearer the forest, the sea and old buddies.

I broke a rule at work. But I was with 2 other people who also did the same thing. Plus I don’t think it was totally our fault. It was mostly our fault. Not 100% though. I’m guessing we might get talked to about it. I’m kind of stressing about it though. It was a 2 Xanax day because of it.

I usually get anxiety from PTSD, especially when I have trigger or memory, flashback or nightmares. Today I've been feeling okay thankfully and haven't felt any anxiety at all. Been pretty relaxed and calm which is a good thing. Anytime I get triggered, the anxiety will stick around for a few days and keep me crying until I'm able to relax.
I'm so relieved that I'm finally relaxed now. Planning on going to bed early tonight. Drank no soda today. Only been drinking bottled water. So my anxiety is good thankfully. I feel so much relief!! |

I was not feeling anxious today. Maybe briefly tonight. But It was mostly physical all day.

Was anxious the first part of the day, but not panicked. Managed to make it out to do a couple of brief errands & check on a few people. Made It back after 3 hours without turning it into a marathon of giving people rides & getting caught up in everyone else’s stuff at the expense of my own well-being. A concept I have long understood in theory but only recently been forced to practice. I only feel a tiny bit guilty. I recognize that I have no choice at this point - if I do not learn this lesson now my life will crash. So, I did accomplish a little bit today. And the cat seems very happy to have me home.
