Stealthy anxiety

I’m feeling a little anxiety again myself. It’s been a long time, and the anxiety isn’t as bad as it has been in the past....but it’s there.

Just the usual stuff. “Does my bf really love me and want us together?” And “What if I suck at my job and I get fired?”

I may end up taking an Ativan today. I think it would be the first one since May or June.

Anxiety sucks no doubt about it. I am starting a new job myself on August 19th,it's funny though I'm not having any anxiety about starting my new job. I have bipolar so that comes with depression and anxiety automatically and my doctor just put me on new medicine 2 weeks ago resulti is what I believe it's called. It seems to be working it's too soon to tell. Taking medication is a battle and frustrating for me because most of the time they don't work and there's bad side effects, and when I get lucky enough for one to work it doesn't work for long. So with this new one will see what happens. My opinion is if there is medicine to help with mental illnesses you really should take them.

I don’t really like taking the Ativan, because it makes me sleepy, and I drive a lot and have things to do. But I’m very, very glad it’s there if I need it.

My anxiety level has heightened recently as well. I just had a 3 day trip to Nashville with my wife and I'm really stressing myself out today thinking that I was too boring for her during our time out there. I'm a really quiet person and each time I noticed I was being that way I would get self conscious about it.

Best of luck to you with the anxiety you're currently experiencing.

I’m really quiet, too, and sometimes I worry about boring people.

Also, other people’s noise REALLY gets on my nerves. Some days are better than others. Today is not a good day.
