Whew! I am so glad it is over.
I have a fear of heights - not natural heights like cliffs and that sort of thing but man-made heights. I will have no problem rock climbing but I can't go up a tower. A ski lift is agony and so on. Last night we went to a concert but the whole thing presented a great deal of anxiety - the stupid kind. I was fearful for days before the concert over the idea of managing the stairs up to the arena second level. This venue is reknowned for having stupid small steps with no hand railings to grab onto. Add in the human built height thing and it was terrifying the idea in advance I would have to negotiate them. Then the anxiety throughout the concert that not only would I have to somehow get back down after the evening but that I might have to relieve myself and be required to get down in the dark. Oh the concert was great but I my great worry really took away from it. |

I am experiencing an elevated anxiety on account of several reasons this morning.
- it is my boyfriend's most stressful time of year as he is undergoing the annual audit of his work this week and he knows it won't go well (he went from a department of three to just himself in the last three months and he hasn't been able to keep up) - add to his distress he has emergency dental work to contend with amidst it all - our camping road trip begins this weekend and I feel really nervous and apprehensive - I have a great deal of errands to run which is already stressful and one of them is entering the stupidity and crowd at Costco. Sigh, I just need to get through until Monday, when we should have reached our destination. |

I had a stressful day. My expectations are too high at work. I want to do exceptional work, but too much is out of my control. My therapist wants me to accept the way things are at my job and not continually fight it. All that results from that fight is higher anxiety. That isn't a battle I will win.

When I woke up this morning I really freaked out and burst into tears. I have a court case coming up and I really needed to send my husband a message on his phone and my phone was flat. I didnt think it would charge up in time and I thought the worst.

All I can blame is the wrong schedule information. It's possible to work on the remaining documents at the same time. It'll take less than a week, but costs on my leave days. And since the places (for processing both documents) are far, I'm scared if I couldn't make it on the same day and took more leave days. I'm afraid my work performance would be declined and have my tasks stacked due to my absences. |

Absolutely awful this morning.
I was already anxious about something and then my boyfriend said an absolutely simple thing that ought not to have been problematic but was a major trigger to my PTSD (how was he to know that mentioning the name of a city would have caused such a reaction). The next thing I was throwing up everywhere over and over and over again and my knees knocking together in panic. I have taken a PRN and slept. I feel better. I cannot blame him. |

Here I am again, venting, ranting, and complaing about the same thing everyday.
I wish it's Tuesday already. I'm going to take a leave and completing two of the remaining documents. I feel so agitated thinking it'll gone wrong somehow. |

My anxiety has been elevated over the last few days, I managed to go shopping earlier. It started because my mom can't walk properly due to hip pain and she doesn't want to go out that much.

I am worried about things that aren't going to happen this morning. It would be nice if I could use that energy for positive thoughts instead of worry.

I finished the second document. Unfortunately, the third one needs a few days to be processed, approximately on Friday. My test result will also be delivered on the day.
Now I get a new anxiety. I get anxiety if the delivery man delivered my test result to the wrong address. I get anxiety if the customer service wrongly processed my document as the requirement request. Moreover, my new phone "will be delivered" tomorrow. I'm so worried because I read a lot of complains on the site I ordered, despite it is an authentic, reputable webstore. It adds my anxiety. I wish I could stop my anxiety over small things. |

I went out shopping today to two different stores. I managed to get what I needed but it gave me a lot of anxiety and I still feel drained even though I've been home for a while now.

I am not schizophrenic or anything like that. But I thought there was someone in my house with me and I was home alone. I haven’t felt actual fear like this in years. I was downstairs in the basement and I could hear all this noise upstairs that sounded like footsteps and banging. I first heard it in my moms room and was just trying to ignore it. Then I heard it in the kitchen and I just felt very scared. I was texting my mom I said “I think there’s someone in the house. I’m not joking. I’m going out the garage door and waiting for you outside.” My mom hurried home. I saw the neighbor who lives a few doors down walking around outside. When my mom came home and I told her about the neighbor wandering around she thinks he may have been banging on our door multiple times trying to get her to answer about some work she was thinking of having him do. But I swear that was the worst scare I have had in years.

Always the new kid growing up and eating lunch as the new kid has made lunch time in a crowded cafeteria in the workplace nerve wracking, it’s like I’m the shy, new, nervous kid again. Eating alone at work during a busy lunch time can cause anxiety sometimes. Like to get away from my desk, but eating alone isn’t always fun. Eating around people I don’t know, is scary.

I felt like I was going to die from my anxiety. This went on for about 1.5 hours. I was at work so I couldn’t do anything about it. I don’t show my anxiety so no one knew I was dealing with it. When I left work I felt a lot better. So I guess it was work related even though it didn’t really feel like it was.

My anxiety is getting terrible. I actually temporarily deactivated my Facebook which I’ve never done before. I use Facebook nonstop. My paranoia was getting out of control over this dumb video I was tagged in. It was a positive video. No one payed attention to it. My Facebook friends can’t see it. But I just started getting all these obsessive intrusive thoughts I knew I had to deactivate it for my own mental health.

tomorrow I am having a meeting with a funeral director.
dreading it, because the director's name is the same as my mother's (and the last thing I want is to be triggered by someone with the same name), plus: I don't know, but I imagine I am the youngest person she's seen I keep getting this image in my mind that she's driving here expecting to see someone in their 60's or 70's, and then she gets here and meets someone a lot younger. I hope it will go okay, because I do worry about it. |

My anxiety in public places is getting so bad. I went to the grocery store 15 minutes ago and I got pretty anxious and I just wanted to leave. I can go to work ok though.
