Peeps check in

[XanaDUer2]

Sitting here watching Naked and Afraid, wondering how everyone is doing today? I'm okay. Hoping all is okay

[RandySF]

1. Anxiety's been tough.

No, it’s not about the news or anything in particular. It likes to pop up at random times and tells me the sabertooth tiger is coming.

[XanaDUer2]

2. I oh so understand, Randy

I took a Xanax. Anxiety is just awful, esp GAD. Here's a hug

Itll be okay. Hang in there know youre not alone

[Siwsan]

3. I'm watching 'American Greed'

I'd been feeling better than usual but the anxiety came crashing back, today. I'm going to take a chill pill, crawl in to bed and snuggle with the kidcats.

[XanaDUer2]

5. Glad you're feeling better

I know, anxiety can come flying out of left field sometimes. Hanging out with the kittens sounds like a plan!

[happybird]

4. Not well

Anxiety and depression has been through the roof. Dealing with a lot right now and feeling very lost.

[XanaDUer2]

7. I'm so sorry, happybird

It can be really really tough sometimes. Take a deep breath. You got this. Please take care of yourself

[limbicnuminousity]

15. Are you able to get outside at all?

Even a little sunshine can bump up overall mood...

[happybird]

17. The anxiety is so bad

even thinking of going outside makes me start to panic. I'm stuck, in more ways than one. Thank goodness for the internet. It's how I stop my thoughts from spiraling.

6. Ive been pissed off for the last week or so.

One of the things that pissed me off is done. I should feel better.
If I complain I sound whiney as what is pissing me off has to be done by me. No one else is available which is why I'm it. And I would feel worse if I didn't do it.
Ok what does that mean?

[XanaDUer2]

8. I fluctuate between anxiety sometimes

And pissed-offedness. Hope yours is waning and you get back on an even keel

Life can be anger inducing!

[Walleye]

9. Depressed, plus anxiety about my doctors check up tomorrow. Worried the bloodwork might show diabetes

[XanaDUer2]

10. I understand

My latest health worry is Mr X having a tooth cyst biopsied. Health anxiety is terrible. I hope you're okay and things go well tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.

[Walleye]

11. Thank you so much, that truly helps

Good luck on that test for Mr. X

[XanaDUer2]

12. Thanks

I always have this feeling of doom, especially after dark

[Walleye]

13. Hello update on my medical condition, everything is OK

She wants me to do some more bloodwork in three months but I feel much better, so thanks for your interest. It really means a lot

[XanaDUer2]

14. Yay thats wonderful!

What a relief

[limbicnuminousity]

16. Doing better.

Back to normal levels of hypervigilance anxiety and depression etc. which is manageable with MM. Life can be pretty damaging.

Been watching Love, Robot + Death on Netflix which is perversely calming if dystopian imagery helps put your mind at ease. Some of the dialog has razor sharp wit. It is just wayyyyyyyy dark. Balance that out with some Young Sheldon and the world seems brighter.

[XanaDUer2]

19. Do you ever have feelings

Of something bad is going to happen? I also have anxiety

[limbicnuminousity]

20. Some days are better than others.

That's just how it goes sometimes.

[XanaDUer2]

21. My Dr told me up my anti depressent

[limbicnuminousity]

22. Does your anti-depressant help with anxiety?

The only things I've found to genuinely help are meditation, benzodiazepines, or heavy indica marijuana strains. And benzodiazepines aren't particularly good for long term use.

[XanaDUer2]

23. Not yet

I also take benzos, which do help. If i take the anti depressent early, like b4 dusk, i fall asleep at 6 pm. I just started, so maybe it will.

[limbicnuminousity]

24. Good luck with it!

If it helps you sleep better that's something at least.
