Mornings suck

[talljelly]

Why are mornings so hard? And the cold? And the overcast sky? My brain tells me that I’m fine - life isn’t easy but it is so-able. But my anxiety is cranking up my heart rate. I feel like an elephant is on my chest. I can’t concentrate and I dread the rest of the day. I had this feeling. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY TECHNIQUES FOE DIGGING OUT OF TGIS FEELING AND GETTING BACK TO “NORMAL”????

talljelly, mornings can be the worst for most of us because the levels of adrenaline are at it's highest. When it has no where to go and you lie in bed or sit and ponder, the symptoms of anxiety come out. As you start moving physically and mentally in going forward for the day, the symptoms will start to dissipate. Go for a walk, clean the house...use up that extra adrenaline. As for your mind, use that with positive thoughts, meditation, deep breathing, activities that allow your mind to think...puzzles, coloring.. etc

You will be okay. x

Agora1 is right on point. You and I had good conversation yesterday? So, nothing I can add, other than it is sometimes just good to vent too. (Not allowed to use the "b" word on the venue)

x no we aren't allowed to use the "b" word on the venue but "vent" is good too.

[HearYou in reply to Agora1]

OK! Don't usually use the "b" word in my life, but it seemed to fit the tone of the post.

[Agora1 in reply to HearYou]

I hear you xx

Ok, what's worse, your nervousness of school, or the actual reality of school? Exactly what do you mean by the word "jumped". How many times where you "jumped" this week (3 days). How? Need some details to get some support from me and the members of the venue. xx

[HearYou]

OK. What happened?

[HearYou]

Give details. She disrespect you? You slug her first?

[HearYou in reply to HearYou]

OK, but so far, remember it was 1 time in one month. Don't let your mind screw with you in mornings. Make it calm itself. Odds you are running, you would be rich woman if in Las Vegas betting against anything happening to you on any given day since then. Think about it that way and no reason to hate morning.....other than the boredom of typical high school. Education is the big prize. Get a calendar so you can mark off each day after it ends if needed. Have spring break soon...or did you have already?xx

[HearYou in reply to HearYou]

Don't know where you live, so go to bed anyway. lol I should but don't sleep well and stay up all night reading.xx "talk" tomorrow.

[HearYou]

OK, the same one you mentioned before? No others? Any friends made by you? Want me to send someone to have a "Come to Jesus Talk" with that one? Do you know know what a "Come to Jesus Talk" is? Enjoy trying to figure out what that is as you are not from a southern state in the US, as no more replies from me tonight.

ps What IS her problem with you?
