Hi there

Sometimes I wake up and Im happy for a minute or so and like you say - bam - in come the worries. I wonder if its because your body's stress hormones peak in the morning to wake you up. What I do is I get up immediately - dont lie in and get worse. Make a cup of tea and start your morning routine

Hi there

My anxiety is at it's worst in the morning too, as Kathy says I just get up and try to get on with the day and as the day goes on it gets easier. When I as acute I used to listen to a relaxation tape in the morning which used to help immensly.

Take care
