Thank you, Brenna. :)
Yes, it makes sense to do it that way because otherwise, it would look like a normal, anxiety-free day on my graph when it really wasn't.
Shrug,
I would suggest filling it in with how you felt when you were first facing the thoughts. Make sure you note how you are feeling now and how you dealth with your anxiety.

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?
