A 2nd Happening

This is another time that I am having a panic attack. It is bad. I took an Ativan hoping it helps. I needed something to work quicker than Clonozepam this time and have a shorter action phase in my system. I do not feel well at all.

It started when my friend was an asshole to me. He got pissed at me when I said that there is a big sign that says no wheelchairs or strollers on a moving walkway, and that people were stupid to ignore it. There are both pictures and words so you can see images clearly. His nasty comment set me off.

My PMDD is bad. My Anxiety from the evening hussle is bad. I feel sick. I don't know what to do. I brought out this App, and my Calm App that is paid for by the company I work for. It is a brilliant feature that I am so thankful for. However I don't know what I'm going to do right now.

Love,
Valerie

I go in trouble at work..

2 managers had a talk with me yesterday about my attendance.
Because I called in once, and I’ve been late 4 times under 90 days.
Yesterday i accidentally took Trazadone (a sleeping medication for insomnia) instead of my Prozac, I was still waking up and I was in a rush to leave for work that I just took it without thinking. And on my way to work I was very sleepy, my eyes were wanting to close. So I got to work on time and then I headed back bc I was having a panic attack bc I was feeling super drowsy. I got home and that’s when i realized I took the wrong medication. So ofc I called in 2 hours later, and I took a nap for 2 hours and I felt better. Still groggy, but not as much.

The day before yesterday my boyfriend accidentally took my car to work, and mind you he works 30 mins away from home. He couldn’t have brought my car back, and I wasn’t sure if his brother was gonna be able to take me bc he’s known for being unreliable, luckily he did wake up but I had already called in bc I didn’t want to call in last minute.

And yesterday they had a talk with me and I basically felt cornered, and one of the managers told me to get it together after I explained to her that things have been rocky at home, and that it was just not under my control. She even told me “I’m not saying we don’t care but get it together” and I started tearing up. 🥺 the other manager stayed quiet, and didn’t say much, and was nicer but that mean manager threatened me to fire me, if I’m late on more time or if I call out one more time. The nicer manager told me my work ethic is good but that it won’t matter if I keep showing up late or calling off. I explained to them that it was just unpredictable , but they didn’t seem to care.

It made me so sad. And I was in a bad mood all of yesterday, and every time I go through something I always feel like I’m the only person in the world to have ever experienced this. I always feel so alone in my feelings, maybe bc I feel my feelings too much.

I’m not looking for advice unless you have some. I ofc take full responsibility for my actions, and my time. I know I can only just make sure to be there on time and show up everyday im scheduled.

But I just want to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. 😔

I hope if I ever get into a relationship with a man that it is always someone I am madly attracted to

I am close to 30 and never had a boyfriend. I hope that if I ever meet the one that it is someone I am attracted to right off the back. Please don’t comment saying to not judge my looks because that is annoying. I know my type and what I like & I hope to always get it.

Meltdown

I had a big meltdown. I returned to the narrow closet again. (I do it often). But this one was bad, I kept banging the back of my head against the wall. But they told me earlier this week that I'll be transferred Thursday, today they told me Friday. Why did they change I hate that. I refused the meds and I was obviously not communicating nor cooperative with them. I'm tired of all of it.

They couldn't handle it, they were being touchy and I hate that. They were so mad.

Banging my head gave me a migraine. No meds help me and it last for days.

My S thoughts aren't disappearing. They never disappear, they're always here since I was a little kid. My anxiety won't leave me too and it's tiring. I constantly feel like I'm being watched, on listening. Everywhere I go I need to search for hidden cameras, micro, people etc. I can't help it. This feeling is so strong I'm exhausted.

They don't want me to die but they don't help me to like be alive.

How do you navigate new experiences when you have anxiety?

One thing that really triggers my anxiety is when something new, unexpected, or unfamiliar happens and I don’t feel prepared. I know I can’t anticipate or control everything that happens around me, but it still feels disorienting when things don’t go as planned. Can anyone else relate?

What are some tips or strategies you use to navigate new or unexpected situations while managing anxiety? How do you cope, and what helps you the most?

I was a little hopeful there.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I'd been feeling better than usual. I was physically and mentally better than I had been in a long time. I wasn't feeling physically or mentally anxious, and my brain had started to slow down so much. Then yesterday, as I'm living with my parents right now, my dad asked me to go with him to volunteer to clean up the side of the highway in town. I said I didn't like doing it last time and opted out. He continued to pressure me to come, and I finally agreed, even though my anxiety was through the roof, and I didn't want to go. While getting ready to go, I had a panic attack in the bathroom and almost relapsed to self-harm. I pulled through though, and we left. On the drive, I listened to music by James Blake and Bon Iver, and it calmed me down somewhat. We stopped to get donuts because we were early, and my dad got in a political fight with a man in the donut shop till the point of yelling. I felt so bad for the owner of the shop... After this we worked on cleaning up trash on the side of the road, and between the noise and not wanting to trip and get hit by a car, I wasn't doing too well. I haven't been doing too well since then, and my suicidal ideation has come back. So has my anxiety, and my self-esteem has plummeted. But now I know what it's like to feel semi-okay. I have something to aim for. So yeah. Cool beans.
