I’m doing okay. I was feeling great last week but the past few days I’ve fallen back down. The nights are always better than the mornings

[Loveiskind12 in reply to ReardenSt33l]

I understand.. that's basically what's happening with me .. I was up last week and now I'm back down .. I'm trying to get thru it.. it's just a sucky feeling though 😫

[ReardenSt33l in reply to Loveiskind12]

It really is a sucky feeling I just wish I was in control of my emotions

After having a rough day my evening is really nice. You know those times when the depression just kind of stops and you feel like you’re your old self again? That’s where I’m at rn after an entire day of feeling like crap. Not sure how long this good feeling with last but I’m enjoying it rn. How about you?

Well I am glad you are feeling better... And I am glad I joined this group too..I like talking to people that can relate to what I go through cause I just feel like people don't understand it ... As of right now I am having alot of anxiety that I'm trying to fight .. just trying to relax a little.. I was doing arts and crafts to kinda let it pass by .. I got tired though

[Hidden in reply to Loveiskind12]

Anxiety sux. The one thing that helps me with that is to not fight it. Deep breathing saying to myself breathing in. Breathing out. After a few deeps then I let my thoughts flow through my mind and I just acknowledge them.

I'm having alot of anxiety right now.. it mostly happens at night.. not a good feeling at all 😐😥

[Hidden in reply to Loveiskind12]

I get my worst anxiety in the morning.

[Marshall64 in reply to Loveiskind12]

Do you have medication? If not, some people have luck with melatonin or benadryl. Neither of them work for me though.

I have been finally having some success with meditation, but I have to admit, ambien may have something to do with it. Ambien doesn't put me asleep right away, but it allows my mind from racing which then allows me to meditate (with music and candles). It is the only time I of the day / night that my mind chills out.

Hope your night goes better...

My anxiety is horrid upon waking in the morning. It sits like an icy beast in my chest twisting my thoughts/problems into worst case scenarios leaving fearful, nauseous, and hopeless. It usually loosens it grip on me as the day wears on. It seems like from 8pm until I fall asleep at night are my golden hours where I dare say I feel “normal.”

I usually come here first thing in the morning and read posts. It makes me feel like I’m not battling alone. I’ve read so many posts where I say “that’s EXACTLY what I’m going through.”

Anxiety is a jerk! I hate it! But, it does pass and I promise you will feel ok again. Hang in there. We are here for you.

It is the worst for me in the morning too. I'm not a morning person anyway but just getting going is hard and I tend to think of all the negative stuff going on in my life soon as I wake up. It is like coming out of a dream and then oh, yeah reality. Late night is better because I can relax and if I can't, well then I have klonopin that I can take if needed. I can't take it in the day because it would make me fall asleep. It is weird though because I can take it now (at night) along with ambien and I stay awake. Nothing is right with me. 😊

[hunter4ransom in reply to Marshall64]

I take Klonopin on my bad nights too. It zonks me out and keeps my mind from spinning. I wake up more rested too. I could never take it during the day. I would fall asleep standing up. lol

[Marshall64 in reply to hunter4ransom]

If I take klonopin at night, it helps me sleep but I feel drowsy in the morning and have a harder time getting up.
