Morning Anxiety :(

[honeyp1e]

Good morning (well bad for me right now)
I've started getting really bad morning anxiety every morning i wake up fine then soon as my mind realises i feel fine i just start to panic over nothing at all and then i have the worse time my heart pounds and mind races and every1 is asleep so i just try and ignore it sometimes i can but how do you cope with your morning anxiety ??

Hi, I have the same as you in the mornings, sometimes it can last into the afternoon, although i am feeling better after 6 months on citalopram, the mornings are still hard. I find keeping busy helps, in fact i still find it hard to relax and do nothing when i get up, i sometimes wonder if i need to increase my dose by 10mg to sort this out, but taking 50mg a day seems high enough. what medication are you taking? I hope you're mornings get better soon, but you are not alone i think it is very common with people who have anxiety issues. take care:hugs:

Hi,

I was having a really bad problem with morning anxiety too, it would last for hours sometimes, the only thing I found to help would be to do some progressive muscle relaxation in the morning and force myself to be active, even if it was just doing the washing up.

Distraction is key with morning anxiety...then before you know it it has gone away...until the next morning when it starts all over again!!
