    Mines playing up again today.. monthly hormones that’s why I had an anxiety attack earlier :#
    On a positive note my heart rate is over 150 while resting, I should have a good loss on the scales by the end of this week lol :p

    Whoa... 150 ?

    I try to keep my resting HR somewhere in the 50s.

    I'm *t*his close to cancelling a trip I have planned (leaving tomorrow) because my anxiety is in my head presenting, detailing, justifying and defending against rational thought every worst case scenario possible.

    At times I get anxiety on my way to the gym. It's a feeling like I don't belong there. I don't know where it comes from but I have to force myself to work through it.


    Me too...and usually I start crying and if I start crying, there is no way I go to the gym that day (( still didn’t learn how to force myself to get over it

    Similar to Banner always being angry, I'm always anxious. But unless you hook me up for an EKG, you really can't tell. Upside is, a lie detector would probably be useless - I'd go erratic from the first baseline question.

    My list includes talking on the phone, crowds, work, thinking about work, trying to not think about work, introducing myself (which is why I can't remember the other person's name, because I am focused on composure), starting a conversation / networking, eye contact on the street, etc, etc. It's very high-functioning, meaning I can do all of these and more and leverage adrenaline, but when I finally arrive to be alone somewhere I realize how completely worn out I am for it.
