The anxiety and dep hit me as soon as I wake up. I have major decisions to make and no energy or ability to think rationally to deal with complex things. The only thing that goes thru my mind is I want release from a life I find intolerable.
Ive been attacked for being ill by some people who are ill as well add to this the isolation i bring on myself and .........
I am so sorry Lonepain. Sometimes the mornings are just so hard... why get out of bed. I know that when I can't think straight I have to just act on the core values and decisions I have made when I was in a better place. Is this good for my family? I'll do that. Did I decide it was a good decision in the past? I will stick with it. I wish you peace, hope, and strength.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I can relate unfortunately. I feel like im in no shape to make any decisions, be an adult, go places...i think a lot is the loneliness for me. I feel like a nuissance when i wake up and when i go to sleep.
I feel this so deeply. The mornings are the worst for me too. I just “woke up” after not actually having rested and now I have to deal with all these things that require the high-level thought processes and physical movements I am not capable of making…for hours or days, sometimes weeks.
Even still, every day I diligently take my meds. They may not be my best option right now but they’re my only option to stay somewhat level. Someone is depending on me to be here when they get home; they don’t need me to be smiling ear-to-ear, they just need me to be alive to give hugs and tell them I love them.
Do you have anyone? A significant other, a child, a friend, niece or nephew, or a pet???
I have a pet. But im not in good shape. Im afraid in the not too distant future i wont be there for him.Ive taken a beating last couple of years and not well now physically or emotionally.
Boy that hits home for me; being attacked for being ill. Social isolation and pain. I wish I had an answer. This place is important to me.
My morning panic decreased when I read what's going on.
Apparently while we sleep and get near waking time, our bodies are hard-wired to prep us for waking and facing the day with a surge of get-up-and-go. If you're one of those fortunate people -- as I am -- who lives with anxiety, your mind interprets those chemicals surging through your body as a threat, and off you go, panicking.
Exactly what happens to me. I have prns for 2 anxiety drugs. I take both to deal with stress every day now along with dep med.
Mornings are my worst time too. Lots of anxiety and depression. Have to force myself to get out of bed. I actually hate to go to bed because the next thing I know it's morning again.
Getting over lost love.
Morning terrors?
Morning panic
Good Morning
