Lucy is at her spay appointment. My anxiety is going crazy. I can’t pick her up for another 6 hours and a bit. 😩 Trying to figure out how to get myself through til then. #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder #Anxiety

I managed to grocery shop today. I was more panicked about going than usual, because we were going to a store I haven’t been to before. I get really anxious about not knowing where everything is, since that makes me have to be in the store for longer. I also worry about potential access issues with my service dog. Luckily, no access issue, and things in the store were pretty easy to find. They also had a lot more vegetarian options than my usual store. Success! #Agoraphobia #PanicDisorder

It’s a high anxiety day. Almost crawling out of my skin. It’s so hard to function… #PTSD #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #Agoraphobia #PanicDisorder

I had a meeting with my nurse practitioner again. She was going to discharge me, but then called back and left a message saying she doesn’t think it’s a good idea right now. She said she wants to wait until I get into (yet another) DBT group, or the anxiety clinic, both of which she just referred me to. Said she doesn’t want me to fall through the cracks. That was nice. I’m super anxious about both referrals. But maybe some good will come from them. #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

Browsing for service dog patches to temporarily quiet my awful mind. I found one of my retired service dog’s old capes (it attaches to a harness), and it surprisingly fits Ellie despite their difference in size. I was hoping to buy a cape eventually, but they are expensive, so that was a nice surprise. If any #servicedog peeps have any patch shop recommendations, please let me know! #Depression #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

Dealing with ADHD while attending group therapy is rough. We watched a video today, and I felt like I could die of boredom. Yes, that’s dramatic. Yes, that’s still how I felt 😅 It’s so hard to focus in general during the group without videos added to the mix. Plus my anxiety makes concentrating even harder. I’m always in a massive panic in social situations, even though this group is on Zoom. #ADHD #AvoidantPersonalityDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

My brain just won’t shut up. In a huge panic and don’t even know why. #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

It’s my birthday, and I feel weird. It feels like every year, I get more anxious and reclusive. I can’t even handle going out for dinner anymore. My dad is bringing takeout. Sigh. It does feel like a slight accomplishment that I’m still here though. #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder #Agoraphobia

I’m so tired. I tried to fall asleep for over 3 hours, and eventually gave up. Now I have to stay awake until at least 10 PM or I’ll mess up my sleep even worse. I have my psych appt in about 2.5 hours, and I’m super anxious about it. I really feel that I need some sort of medication adjustment, but I’m not sure if that will happen since I had one not super long ago. Today has just been overwhelming in general and full of panic attacks. #PanicDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

Of course I can’t sleep when I have my appt with my psychiatrist during the day. Part of why I can’t sleep is because of my anxiety about said appointment, actually. But my anxiety keeps me up every night for at least 2 hours regardless of appointments. Usually longer. I’d like a medication for sleep again, but I just started the Abilify for my depression less than 2 weeks ago. She probably won’t want to make another change so soon. #Depression #Abilify #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

I had blood work and an ECG done today. Hope everything comes back normal, because I really don’t need more problems during this fucking crazy time. And I started a behavioural activation group for depression yesterday, which went alright-ish. I struggle with groups a lot due to multiple severe anxiety disorders. Had a panic attack the entire 2 hours. The group is once a week for a few months. I hope it helps. #Depression #TreatmentResistantDepression #SocialAnxietyDisorder #PanicDisorder

Panic disorder is the devil.

You sometimes don't know when it will strike and take you out for a bit. 🤬

Currently huddled under a weighted blanket trying to ride it out. Usually takes several hours.

Breathing exercises failed of course.

I’m really not doing well mental health wise. My #depression, #PanicDisorder and #PTSD in particular are acting up badly. So, here here is a puppy picture for you. #ServiceDog #ServiceDogInTraining

I thought I would make a list of the conditions I struggle with, in case it helps make connections to others with similar struggles ❤️ #depression #SocialAnxiety #Agoraphobia #PanicDisorder #PTSD #Insomnia #arthritis #ChronicPain #ADHD #SensoryProcessing #AuditoryProcessing #NonVerbalLearningDisorder #LearningDisability.
