Anxiety Daily Check-In point #7

another panic attack today making 6 so far this week

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Just a lot going on. I plan to sleep a lot. I still don't feel well physically.

Was afraid of having another panic attack on Sunday. My mom and sister brought me to the hospital because I was distressed. I was admitted for an emergency psychiatrist appointment.

I was left in a room and I started to panic. The doctor prescribed diazepam so I took 5mg, then 5mg olanzepine and then another 5mg of diazepam.

They said I was paranoid so if the diazepam didn't work, I'd be given Haldol - I thought that they were trying to kill me for a second.

My panic lasted a total of 5 hours 8/10-9/10 anxiety - Very very intense. I felt like I ran a marathon.

The next day, my doctor wanted to prescribe two benzos a day (Alprazolam) but I said to lower it to 0.25mg twice a day. I took the 0.25mg alprazolam and then saw the psychiatrist on the TV - He was the best psychiatrist I've ever met.. Very good listener and asked the right questions.

I usually get panic when the Vyvanse wears off but it was lowered to 40mg from 50mg today and I am prescribed 0.5mg of clonazepam twice a day as needed in case I have another panic attack.

I'll be in the hospital for a few more days so they know that I'm taking my medications properly and as prescribed. Hopefully I don't have another panic attack today but at least I have something to take.

Today is pretty good - I had a good sleep, everything is ok!

I felt such intense stress this morning from an appointment I had. Now, I am not sure if I feel relief or am numb.

My anxiety wasn’t bad until 20 minutes ago or so.

As far as anxiety goes I'm actually not doing bad today. I'm glad something is going right at least. I still feel depressed though.

A bit worried I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow, if not I would go the next day.

I feel a little overwhelmed. I have lots to do around the house but I'm trying to recover too. Yesterday when I did some housework, I got sick.

I think I am ready for my phone call later
a little anxious, but I am hoping for positive news about my care plan. I need it, positive news is in such short supply

Anxiety is less now I'm out of hospital but I'm also dealing with agoraphobia. I can only travel on public transport when someone is with me so its lucky I live in supported housing but I just want to beat this.

Mid-day has been difficult for me. Heat, rain and dehydration have been messing with my nerves too. Ugh, I can't stand it. Progress one day and then 6 steps back. Ugh, today was worst of all and I don't even know why I feel this way. Woke up to find myself remembering a strange dream, laughed and then felt the need to cry. not sure what is happening to my nerves but it feels like every small upset creates a new discomfort. I can't stand feeling this way. and I feel alone again.

I’m doing good with this whole Xanax every other day thing. I’m hoping to eventually go even less without taking any.

I'm anxious this morning. Since my covid test came back negative, I've decided I would take my car in for an annual service. I'm worried about showering and getting dressed. I'm afraid it will hurt. I can take it one step at a time. Shower, then sit and rest and finally get dressed. I've been washing up at the sink for the past month. I'm so afraid of the shower but I have to try.

Edit: I got my shower. I'm so glad!

I'm anxious about my ear pain this morning but I know I have tmd jaw pain so I can feel it in my ear. I hate health anxiety

lots of anxiety today.

most of it unexplained

hope the ear pain goes away

never fun

I felt kind of tensed at the store. I managed to grab my items and pay. I think it;'s because people started to show up all of the sudden.

Feel anxious this morning as getting used to a new support worker but she's really lovely. I guess I'm just scared of people as I've been abused in the past.

Need time for myself. Feeling the anxiety of crowds and early fall preparation as people transition back into school, and out of quarantine. Glad some of my public safety concerns are now able to be addressed and finally taken seriously. Hoping social distancing continues to be taken seriously. I am only nervous too much will return to the way it was before. Want to stay home but know I shouldn’t shut myself in - will try again tomorrow.

no anxiety yet today
