Dreaded Mornings

[mandg]

hi,
Does anyone know why I feel so awful when I wake up? It just seems like I have the world pressing down on my chest and I find it really hard to get going. This feeling usually persists until about lunch time and then I start to feel a bit better. I'm just worried about next week when I am supposed to go back to my new job, I don't know if I can make it.

:(

Hi Mandy,
Just read your post. i know its not much consolation but i feel the same way at the minute. I'm just trying to work a way through it. Its like as soon as i wake up and come downstairs and see "the sameness" i feel as though i want to go back to bed and just shut my eyes. I do also have the feeling my eyes might just close on me whilst walking around. I know i have no self esteem or confidence at the mo partly due to a job i've just left after sticking it for 8 mnth (woman manager bullying and controlling) I'm just going to try n keep myself diverted and take more exercise. Hope you feel better soon Suz

Thanks Suz.
Sorry about your job. I fear that I might have to give mine up as It might be contributing to the way I'm feeling but I know from experience that I will be worse if I'm stuck at home too. So it's a catch 22 situation.
I think your best option is to keep busy and maybe find something interesting to do (do you like crafty stuff?)
I know the exercise bit is worthwhile but I don't like going out alone so that's a problem for me. Perhaps I can jog around the garden!

take care
