Morning anxiety

[Brinks9]

Woke up this morning feeling really anxious. It's been awhile since this has happened. I'm visiting my parents for the holidays and we are going on a small day trip today. I think I woke up anxious because I'm anxious about ruining it. I'm hoping I can control my anxiety enough today so I don't ruin our day. I'm always scared my anxiety will ruin everything.

I understand, I’m having the same issue this morning. Had a rough night last night too. Just out of nowhere.

I get the “out of nowhere “ comment. My anxiety comes when I least expect it, sometimes as I’m waking up! I wish someone could explain why this happens. Hang in there.

Sorry to hear that. Stay strong. We can get through this!

I get morning anxiety too at the mo it can be about anything but generally work

Ya it usually feels random but sometimes what's causing it can be determined. Sometimes it helps to know.

Oh, wow, you sound just like me! My counselor is always telling me that I’m anxious about having anxiety! She says to accept my feelings and picture a stop sign, tell myself to quit worrying (ha!), and try to re-focus my mind and live in the moment. Hope this helps you. Of course, this is much easier said than done. Blessings to you.

Thank you I'm the same way- always anxious about being anxious. I appreciate your encouragement!
