I'm a little because I'm having a VERY vague day-- or at least a very vague afternoon & evening.

Good news: Mr Dr Science now tests negative! All rejoice! We're going to try going to in-person High Holy Days services this year, for the first time since 2019!

I can feel the anxiety attack futzing with my heart, but I can't seem to make it stop. Laying down helped for a little bit, but it's back and I don't WANT to lay back down again already. Ugh. I don't even know where the spike is coming from to try to shut it off? Attempting to patch with anti-panic playlist and reading of fanfic. ._.

[eta] marked self as "could use help" because yes, but WHAT help remains a mystery cuz it feels like general anxiety gone amuck amuck amuck (thank you, Hocus Pocus) and I'm ... ugh. IDK. Might have to try making some tea, too.

Are you in a situation where you can afford a trip to the doctor? I had what I thought were anxiety attacks identified as an actual heart problem after a trip to the emergency room. I'm on meds to manage it, and don't wake up with "palpitations" and a racing heart anymore. (They weren't palpitations, it was atrial fibrillation...)

Also, as meds go, beta-blockers and blood thinners are way cheaper than anti-anxiety meds.

Unfortunately no, and with the state of things, going to the ER would make my anxiety WORSE, thanks COVID denialism. e_e This isn't a new thing, sadly - I've had an anxiety dx for years - but usually I can figure out what's set me off. Can't always do much about it, but being able to point to something usually helps. Tonight's a bit of a mystery. Maybe peeling carrots will help....
