Woke up feeling really anxious again. Have a busy day today so will just have to grin and bare it. In my defence I am not phoning up family bawling my eyes out so some progress is being made.
Breathe through your stomach real slow, count ten breathings and start again. That will help your heart from racing and calm you down a bit. Do it as much as you need.

Do you have something to do that will use up all that anxious energy in a positive way?

Think I am going to go for a walk.

Good idea.
Hope you can “stomp out” some of that extra anxiety.
Went out for a bit but the paranoia was running circles around me.
How about a detailed, physically taxing job, like scrubbing pots and pans, or organizing the garage kind of thing where you have to remove everything off shelves, in drawers, and then rearrange it in perfect(?) order?
Something that requires a bit of concentration, focus and effort?

Sorry. Things are so bad I couldn’t even begin to contemplate such stuff. I have a real bad head circus going on.
Oh, sorry.
When that happens to me all I seem to do is run in circles while the time stands still. Then when the day finally ends, I look back on the day and can’t find one thing done-even though I’m exhausted.
Hope you can find something that helps you do the best you are able today.

Head circus! That’s a good one. My head feels like … nothing I could describe so concisely. Perhaps like the cross between an epic traffic jam and someone screaming until the world implodes. My ears are actually red hot to the touch.
Thanks @Csummers. You have great empathy with my situation. Will just have to write today off I think. Problem is I have my depot then a meeting with the housing people. My support worker is going to be with me though.
