Anxiety Check-In October🍂🍁

1. I'm feeling alright today, just kinda getting back on track mentally which is hard work but I know I will get there one day.

2. I am sleeping, but sometimes I don't sleep more than 6 hours but I try my best to sleep between 6 to 8 hours a night, and I eat full meals usually and drink enough water.

3. I have been able to get a haircut lately and listen to music more lately which is nice.

4. I've been mostly thinking about my financial situation and looking for work lately.

5. This week I struggled with being rejected for this job I applied for that I really wanted.

6. One thing that went well this week was having my fiancé's parents visit us and it went a lot better than I had thought it would.

7. A small thing I can do today is go on a walk to get healthier mentally and physically.

I love these check-ins!

• 1.) Physically, I’m a little sore! Mentally, I’m staying resilient in the face of challenge, the best I can!

• 2.) For sure could have used some more sleep last night. I’ll be making a note to do better on that this week!

• 3.) I’ve done a bit, but not enough! I think I’m gonna do something creative & freeing. Maybe a magazine page layout or a charcoal drawing!

• 4.) Just looking to be a better man. A better person. Connect with Jesus more. Do more random acts of kindness for my wife!

• 5.) Feeling powerless & unable to make radical change in my life. I know that I can do it! I just need the motivation & diligence to stop bad habits.

• 6.) My wife & I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! Big win. ❤️

• 7.) Talking here! Calling a friend later on. Praying & taking a moment to realize how lucky I am, despite the hardships in my life. A moment of stillness does a lot for me.

I hope anyone who took the time to read my response has a wonderful rest of the week & weekend! You matter. You are valid in wanting to change. And you CAN do this. 🙂‍↕️ Sending out so much love! To all of you.

1. How are you feeling today, physically and mentally?❣

Physically I feel great today my wrists and knees haven't been hurting despite them being in pain lately. However, mentally I feel drained. I feel like I've been a let down today and today was just meant to be a bad day.
2. Are you taking care of the basics ( sleeping, eating full meals, drinking enough water) ?🥛

I have been taking care of everything but drinking water. I have a hard time remembering to drink water. It's not that I don't want to but I just genuinely forget to drink water.
3. Have you been able to do any self care lately? If not, what would help you get back on track?😎

I'm really bad about doing self care due to being a people pleaser but lately I've been trying to be better about taking care of myself.

All my recurring thoughts have been about one person and the fact I seem to be nothing but a burden in their eyes.

This week my biggest struggle is trying not to fall into a depressive state.

6. I've done well on some quizzes and chatted more with my friends

7. Drink more water I guess...

Hey there!

1. Haven't been able to calm my heart down nor the nausea, but I haven't had panic attacks and I still have a hold of reality, so that's good

2. Yes, centering mostly in sleeping my 8hrs, I have to work on drinking water tho

3. I took a shower today, its a good thing that it helps me relax a bit

4. This past week, a looming driving test

5. Getting up and move, do chores, homework, like I'm in constant fight freeze mode

6. I ate at my hours 3/5 days, I saw a good friend after not seeing her for some months, the distance was hurting, gave her a long hug

I have health anxiety and am really struggling this past week. Those doom thoughts come into mind more than I like. I wish I could beat this problem. When the anxiety isn’t hitting me, I love my life and enjoy all who are around me
