Anxiety Daily Check-In point #6

Mar 13, 2019 at 03:13 AM

I made a huge mistake yesterday. For a few hours, I kept obsessing about it and since I realized my mistake while I was downtown yesterday, I nearly turned down a one-way street toward an oncoming car--I could have killed both my son and me.

I can be a very distracted driver when I get caught up in my thoughts. I am now past the woulda, shoulda, coulda that I went through for a few hours yesterday but the main, serious problem that we were trying to resolve still remains unresolved. The thing is, it is not my problem, I take ownership of my son's problems then only make them worse....and, even worse, he is the one who needs the support but then I fall to pieces and end up needing support when it's his serious problem, not mine. I really don't know how to help him other than take so many meds that I am an unemotional zombie incapable of causing trouble....

My anxiety wasn’t that bad today.

I feel like my anxiety is getting worse

I'm sorry that has happened to you!

This week has been tough on me. At work I have to work extra hours until next Monday (some hours after midnight). I have been tired and seem to have some sort of virus causing me to have a temperature.

My anxiety is getting worse. I am having physical health problem. I'm feel nauseous and having shaky hands or I have chest pain. Or I will burst into tears uncontrollable! Sometimes I will start hyperventilating. Anyone ever experienced this?

I experience a racing heart, nauseousness, slight hyperventilation and chest pain periodically and it happened more than one time this week.

I am sorry you are feeling so badly that you are crying so much. That sucks.

I am still having a lot of problems with daniele (the woman who scares me, but is meant to be here to help)

yesterday evening I told myself that if I saw her I'd tell her to go away

well I saw her today and let her in despite saying very little to her

what's wrong with me?

also annoyed and very anxious because someone needs a photo of me for new UK money laws.

well, it isn't going to happen, no photos of me exist anywhere, and I'l be damned if I'm going to let them take one

I went to the mall this morning to buy a present and I was close to panic as I was making the line. After I exit the store and went to the car, my face was warm and I was sweating because the weather was humid outside. I came home and it took me like 30 minutes for the hot flash to go away.

Hi guys, I'm new to this page.
I'm experiencing anxiety attack for more than a month now. I experience difficulty in breathing, my throats and lips are dry, my heart beats fast, and having difficulty in swallowing food. My parents said I'm getting thinner. I'm actually afraid of thinking that I'm going to die everytime the panic attack occur.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. I know it sucks. Have you found anything that helps at all?

Welcome to PC! Sorry to hear this.

Anxiety was so-so today. I did manage to get out the house and do what I needed to do so at least there's that.

Mountaindewed · Mar 19, 2019 at 07:58 PM

I didn’t have any anxiety at work. But when I went shopping at 3 this afternoon my anxiety was pretty bad from how crowded the thrift stores were and I got out of them pretty quickly without spending anything.

I guess that’s not a terrible thing. I’m fine making money, but too anxious to spend it.

Anxiety was bad in the morning and after lunch felt better. Just sat there working, but inside heart was pounding and felt almost frozen with anxiety. Worried about details regarding work and then thinking about one year ago when went on vacation with my family and my dad was still alive. Further complicating my anxiety past bad experiences at work where my social anxiety and just plain anxiety wreaked havoc on my abilities to function and survive mentally.

No mellow since 4 am. Woke to a panic attack after a nightmare. There is a bright side. Only one panic attack instead of a wave of many. Now just left with the anxiety. Meds only help so much. Makes it hard to stay with them. Lexapro for anxiety followed by Xanax to ease the anxiety side effect of the Lexapro. Then Adderall so I can think clearly followed by another Xanax to ease the anxiety caused by the Adderall. What the hell sense does this make? I feel like throwing all of it in the trash today.

I am getting headaches almost every evening again. They started back last week after a few sleepless nights. I think I just need rest.

Mar 21, 2019 at 04:07 PM

this afternoon I got the feeling someone was going to collapse

I was talking to someone who had a really bad cold, and she suddenly went all quiet for a bit (then started muttering something about eye lashes), but in a way that suggested she wasn't too sure what she meant to say or what she even was saying- and I know that could be signs of a collapse

but before I could say something and ask her if she was okay she noticed me looking at her and coughed and said she needed air

I'm still thinking about it now

collapses scare me

not if I collapse, if other people collapse

I've also been thinking a lot about the past few days and also the future
