severe anxiety in the mornings--HELP

[mooks]

Hi Guys
IS it the same for anyone else?
You open your eyes and the panic just grips you...Just dont know why its come back again. I feel so defeated can't seem to control it. Am off work again..Just wish it didnt happen..no matter how relaxed I am before I go to slepp its the same every morning.

Hi mooks,

I'm always worse in the mornings and the thing with anxiety is that its so up and down....but remember a bad morning doesnt necessarily mean a bad day.

Take care and keep smiling...Candie xxx

HI MOOKS
YES THAT IS THE WORST TIME OF THE DAY FOR ME AS SOON AS I GET OUT OF BED. I THINK THAT IS VERY COMMON WITH ANXIETY. ITS HARD TO GET A GRIP ON THINGS THEN. I STILL HAVENT FOUND A WAY OUT OF THAT AS OF YET. I JUST TRY AND THINK MORE POSITIVLEY.WE ALSO REALIZE IT IS ANOTHER DAY TO FACE.

Hi Mooks,

Like you i always felt worse in the mornings, the last couple of months i have been focusing on doing things on a morning and it as helped me lots. I joined a Social morning group at my local mental health clinic, when i first started i found it real hard to make the effort and go, but once i got there i felt alot better and the anxiety disappeared. Also i have joined my local walking club, we go for walks once a week in the morning, that as helped also, i have come to conclusion if i can have something to look forward to in the morning it really helps.

Love

hi mooks,

in a word, me too!

it may well be that your anxiety is rooted in your subconcious which comes to the fore when we are asleep. It takes me an hour to feel awake after I get up. I feel too scared to get up many mornings, but once up it eases.

I think Andrea's ideas on morning activities are good ones

Take Care,

Ray

Hi,
I too usually find morning the worst, and mid evening.
Doc explained to me that it may be my seratonin levels are naturally at a low so even if on med that may be a dip.
I also often waken up from a bad dream, which I reckon is partly due to my anxiety depression condition and partly as a result of the meds
I comfort myself with knowing that it usually passes and have taken to going out running 3 mornings a week which has done absolute wonders for my state of mind.

Hiya i'm the same...... For 3 months now my mornings have been really bad! I can go to bed happy and relaxed with no worries at all...(my evenins are GREAT!) But the min i wake up....i fell sick, i'm shaking, i cry, i'm scared every single morning. People have adviced me to think of something happy and nice the minute i wake up....Thats impossible for me right now...the anxiety totally takes over. I haven't been to work since 4th oct. I just can't seem to face it. In the evenings i always have the courage to face work....and i say to myself "thats it 2moro i'm goin in" But then i wake up the next morning and i can't do it. I listening to my relaxation cd b4 i sleep at night and the minute i wake up.....i'm not too sure if its actually working yet:(
