    Morning anxiety- tips for getting rid of it

    I know that cortisol is highest in the morning. I wake up feeling a jittery mess. I try my best to get myself and my son ready, but my heart starts skipping beats, i feel anxious, thoughts out of control etc. I have to take a klonopin every morning to settle down. Therapy is helpful, but when the time comes to employ these techniques, i just can't. My irrational brain takes over and my body goes into fight or flight. Anyone else get this. Any good tips. I'm determined to get over this anxiety beast.

    I feel the same way! My symptoms are usually sweaty palms which I notice right away while doing makeup and getting dressed. Then the stomach cramps set in, and my chest starts to feel tight. Are you going to bed at a decent hour? I would say try to make your nights are relaxing as possible so you can wake up more refreshed.

    I did got to bed later than usual yesterday- I had therapy last night. I also haven't been sleeping well the past few nights which is probably contributing to it. I hate getting those pesky skipped beats. Still feeling tired and on edge this morning :(
