Anxiety worst in the morning

[ankietyjoe]

This morning I woke up with the same rush of anxiety. But I told myself 'oh its all that cortisol'. The anxiety didn't magically disappear but it made it a hell of a lot easier to deal with. 

No it won't disappear as it's being fuelled by hormones, this is compounded by your own attention and focus on it.

If you don't engage with it and worry about it, it'll pass a lot more quickly. Just a rough guess, if you get up and get out maybe an hour of feeling odd rather than an entire morning of feeling anxiety.

So far just knowing what it is, is helping.

Also re-reading a Dr Claire Weekes book and that's helping too.
