HA worse in the morning.......

[alwaysanxious25]

Anyone else's HA considerably worse in the morning after they have woken up?
Always wake up very panicy and feel the need to check every lump/bump i have found straight away!

Mine is. I find once I get some food and a tea into me it starts to subside a bit.

Surprisingly - Mine is worse at night, usually before bed, and especially if I am in the house on my own!

My anxieties are worse in the morning. I have a specific version of health anxiety and I always wake up with some odd symptom.

I'm usually able to resist googling but always.

Funnily enough Google never makes me feel any better.

I read that cortisol (stress hormone) levels are highest in the morning (to wake us up) so that might explain it a little.

Ignore all sensations for the first hour of the morning.

The body does weird things in sleep, and coming out of sleep is an odd process.

Don't expect to boot up like a PC every morning.

And dont expect to shutdown like one at night!

Although don't ignore the need to wee or take a dump.

That WILL cause anxiety.

Mine is worse at night. I can have symptoms of illness all day but as it gets closer to bedtime I start working myself up that I won't wake up in the morning :wacko:
