I am feeling very anxious today. I felt similar last night. It's as if I'm operating at a level 8 when I would normally be at a 2 under the same circumstances. Nothing significant has happened that I can think of and this doesn't really have anything to do with my SO or our relationship.
It's as if my brain is racing all over the place, so much so that I cannot be productive. I kind of want to cry while writing this, kind of want to go home and watch tv. I don't feel capable of making a single decision at the moment (should I heat up my lunch now or in an hour? Should I keep working on this task or start on that other thing I need to do and come back to it? Should I go get groceries on my lunch break or do it after work?) but, at the same time, feel overwhelmed with pressure to make these decisions. Such trivial things but it's making me feel physically panicked and I don't know why, which is making me feel more on edge.
I don't have any anxiety related diagnoses. I don't really have any current diagnoses. I normally live in the supporter section, as my SO has PTSD, but I didn't know how much helpful support I would get with this there... Any tips on how to deal with the racing thoughts? Any advice on how to calm the impulsivity and flighty pressure I'm feeling? I feel this way occasionally, but it usually would have passed by now and it's affecting me physically more than it has before. I feel like I could freak out if I don't figure something out, although I'm not really sure what that would look like. TIA.
