Low first thing in the morning

[ScottieStyles]

I feel that my anxiety and depression are at their peak ,when I first wake up,. I feel realy low, I miss the bed of my ex GF, Its horrible waking up alone/

does anybody else feel this way when they first wake up

[hopethishelps1984]

Yes, mornings are tough, so many things just tell you to stay in bed and dont face the world but we all know this is not a good decision so we push ourselves and get out of bed to face another dreadful day. Waking up alone is horrible but so is waking up with someone you love and still feeling all alone. Hang in there, tough times dont last, tough people do!

I dont like laying in bed for to long though as I also find that this sets off my depression. I can get very insecure as I hate being on my own these days/ I use to be so confident when I was young,

[hopethishelps1984 in reply to ScottieStyles]

Confidence is not easy to come by once it has been shaken. I was much more confident as a youngster but life has a way of beating that out of you, especially when suffering from depression/anxiety. My confidence is gone but outwardly I pretend to be confident i find it helps me through the day, and maybe one day the pretending will become reality and I can soar again!

I’ve had this every morning for the past 2 months. It helps me to immediately get out of bed and eat breakfast and start my day. I try to plan activities early in the morning so I’m forced to get up and start the day.

Throughout the day I’ll slowly start getting better and by the time I’m ready to fall asleep for the night it’s as if I’ve never been depressed/anxious at all. A very hard cycle to get through.

I like to hear music when i awake, so I have bbc radio 6 always at hand//

I have also got i believe in miracles by the Jackson sisters as my alarm. this helps me feel confidant, I know i will beat this, I have done it before. the breakup with my former partner really did hit me sideways though, sometimes i just wish I called call ehr and tell her what her decision has done to me

I like to hear music as well, i think it just starts out the day feeling good. It sounds like you are heartbroken and need time to get over the break up and that okay. I just pray that it does not last to long. This too will pass... Hang in there..
