Today is day 23 of working on my anxiety- I have been on medication for 23 days and have seen a counselor twice. Overall I would say I am doing well. I still have moments that are bad and I have had two very mild panic attacks since I started treatment but I was able to manage them without having to leave work which is huge for me.
Symptoms that have gone away since I started treating my anxiety are:
-numbness in my face, hands, and feet
- sensation like I am on a boat
- not being able to fall asleep
-racing thoughts
-constantly thinking about my health
Symptoms that still remain
- mild heart palpitations
Another thing I have been doing is listening to ASMR videos on YouTube, they are very relaxing and help me fall asleep quickly. The next thing on my list is to start working out and to eat better. Like I said I still have bad moments but they are becoming more and more mangable by the day. I am functioning much better in my day to day life. My mind feels more at ease. I am trying to take things slow because I don't want to overwhelm myself. I have not had to take a Xanax in 13 days, which feels amazing. I have even been able to grocery shop and attended my son's preschool graduation without any panic attacks.
