Well, I started off the day with an anxious thought that I just wasn't able to combat using distraction or busyness. It just kept flashing on the screen of my mind!!!(FYI,the thought was a remembrance of a very disturbing scene I saw in the movie we watched this weekend.) After noticing the anxiety level increasing over the next hour, I decided to take an Ativan. Afterwards, distraction was possible and I calmed right down within 1/2 an hour. Now I'm feeling good. I even gave myself a test glimpse of the 'disturbing thought' and it isn't sticking anymore. I can dismiss it.
Okay so I remembered the instruction to fill in your Panic Diary as soon as possible after an episode which I'm doing now. But I'm not sure how I should fill in the anxiety/depression level part. If I fill it in as I felt first thing this morning it would be 4/3 respectively. However, if I fill it in as I feel now it would be 1/0.
Any suggestions?
