Due to anxiety I average nearly a day a month out of work due to episodes of anxiety (I have generalized anxiety but also avoidant personality disorder) where I'm afraid to leave home or go to work...

Down slowly to about 184 in the morning but am down sometimes to 160s and occasional 140s before lunch and dinner.  Suffer from dawn phenomenon, so will always be somewhat high in the morning unless...

Well, it looks like I'm back.  I'm dead broke -- waiting to see if I can get thru to next Friday's payday without anything bouncing -- but I've been a month in my new place.  There are no crack...

A difficult day.  After 4 days off I tried to get up this a.m. and was too afraid to get out of bed.  Morning is a bad time for me to make decisions but I had to make one early, and I called in...

Back again after about a year and a half.  My shrink and my primary care doc tell me I'm doing very well, and it seems to be due to the Lexapro.  During the last year I've had a moderately rough...

Don't figure anyone will read this and guess I don't care -- have no one to explain this insight to who would understand or care, guess journaling is all I can do.  With ADD and a horrible anxiety...

Well, the axe has finally fallen at work.  The good news is that I still have a job, the bad news is that they're moving me from I.T. back into my old department as a transcriptionist.  Oh, and the...

Just got back from lunch with my abusive old lady.  I know that she likes me, and at the same time I know she considers me ill-educated (everyone in the US is ill-educated, according to her); she...

Miscellany: Back after nearly a month of isolation while my new meds decided what they are going to do with me (so to speak).  The good news:  they work.  There are minor side effects but they're...

Was getting desperate about money -- expenses less in this apartment, not eating out more than before, but always broke.  Decided to change all my scripts to the lowest co-pay type (I'm grateful I...

Well, made it thru Thanksgiving with the elderly lady who argues constantly and is totally abusive.  I think I may have discovered her secret -- and the secret of why, despite the occasional insult...

Another weekend gone.  Not as bad as most weekends are.  I got a little extra sleep, which is good, especially since I have a little bit of a bug.  But my blood sugar was high so I worried about...

BG staying in what is for me medium range -- about 170-180 fasting a.m.  It's lower before supper, depending on what I eat, but I can't get it to lower down before lunch.  Going to change my...

Finally!  My fasting BG before dinner was 110.  I can't even remember when it was that low.  Unfortunately I was so upset that I ate a double dinner tonight, so it won't be that good tomorrow. ...
