Mornings can be the worst...

[Timmypliskin]

Waking up with instant anxiety the past few weeks, just start thinking. And over thinking everything, feeling guilt and remorse, and fear for all the bad choices, mistakes, and wrong things I've done...

Why is it so hard to focus on the good things too? I know I've done many good things as well.

I think part of anxiety is the almost inability to trust or believe in anything, can't quite shake the thought that the shoe is going to drop any minute, so I have to be on guard all the time...

I honestly want to be , and feel like a good person, to finally , at some point to have faith.

Thanks for giving me a place to talk about these things

I also struggle with this... Today is a defeated feeling kind of day for me... Hope your day goes better!

Thank you.

Just talking about it helps

Hope you have a good day

Thank you for posting this. This is EXACTLY how I feel. And although I don’t really have any words of encouragement for you, maybe you can take some comfort in knowing you’re not alone. I know I did.

I hope we can get through this together.

Thank you so much!

It's helps to talk about it.

Takes some of the weight off...

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I've found that if my anxiety is really bad in the mornings, I need something to distract me while I get ready for the day. I listen to a podcast, or turn on a tv show or movie I like, and listen to those while making breakfast or getting ready. I find it's helpful to have my brain focus on something else for that hour. Does your anxiety calm down after you leave the house, or after the first couple hours of the day?

Sometimes it does get better, sometimes more recently, I just can't get my mind off of it... that's on of the things that make it so extreme... but I'm trying to get past it...

Thanks for your help... and it all helps

Yes I go through this the moment my eyes open. Another day. Another battle. Anxiety can mess with us so much. We always feel something is going to go wrong. So you are definitely not alone. Come on here first thing to share and talk to people. This site helps so much. X

Thank you...

That's what I'm trying to do , get it out as opposed to just keeping it all inside.
