I have to have my son at the airport at 4:30 pm. He is going to Florida for a couple of weeks to visit his uncle. I woke up anxious and shaky, which I haven't done in a while. I took 1/2 ativan. I guess I am a little stressed as I have a meeting at 10am and know that I have to leave by 1pm because I live over 2 hrs from the airport. Just a little overwhelmed this am. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

I'm right there with you. My anxiety has come back full force again. It is so severe I'm barely functioning. I've also started back into having panic attacks that feel like heart attacks several times a day.
I thought I part time job would help but it's made it worse.
Hope you feel better through out the day!
Good luck with taking your son to the airport, you'll be tired after.

Thanks so much, I hope you have a good day as well. Work is definitely hard for me sometimes, but I am a single mother of 3 and one granddaughter with no support at all, so I have no choice. I sometimes wish that I could take a few months off to just get myself together. I have no time for anything. So much for positive thinking.
HUGS,
Sandi

I think you should be very proud of yourself for going quite awhile without anxiety. You're under alot of stress with trying to get to places on time...not wonder you're anxious. Even someone without the disorder would feel strained. Don't beat yourself up...you're doing great:)!

I love this group. I can be having the worst day and instantly feel better after talking to friends like you all.

I'm a little anxious myself today. Yesterday was a great day. Haven't taken my meds yet but maybe that will help.
