No, mines always awful first thing and before i was on medication it would take me several hours to calm myself, not that I ever feel entirely calm. It's something to do with cortisol being so high in the morning I think.x

Not at all, mine is always high too. 😖 medication helps with this though, are you taking anything? Take care.

My anxiety is really bad in the morning too! Then it takes the entire morning for me to feel better. Listening to relaxation music helps.

Hi no it isn't just you , your subconscious is more present in the morning an that's where your problem is !!!!!

And it doesn't help I'm awake from 5 or 6, lying there thinking all silly things going around in my head. But glad I'm not the only one .. Hope everyone is having a good day :-)

Your mind is being used in the wrong way to focus on problems so your creating more an your subconscious is over protecting you iv had it an seen the same thing over an over its a pattern of worry due to feeling threatened on a subconscious level it helps to understand this , I'm a huge thinker an used my mind to create wrong thinking because of being around so much negativity from childhood , the subconscious mind runs your body !! Doesn't it an it's a thousand times more powerful than your concious mind you have to take small achievable actions to get them to wrk together

Every time you wake

Don't stay in freez mode get up an move

Get your circulation going shower excersise put on an up lifting peice of music 😀

Every time your mind wanders to a fear or problem stop going there dont let your mind run you change your state , change your day rituals switch away from focusing on your health anxiety

Think of it like excersisi g a muscle it takes practise 💪

Take back your power

Change starts with a small decision to take action

Not taking action will tell the subconscious it's not safe an put you back u to fear / anxiety

If your depressed stop putting yourself down

Hi yea I have it that bad I'm on here every morning begging for help to get through it, I haven't even opened my eyes and I wake to that awful horrific feeling that your awake again, as much as you try so so hard to switch off and go back to sleep ( if like me your still tied ) but it just gets worse and worse, I finally battle to get out the bed, ( it's the hardest thing ever when you feel like we do ) I understand I'm sure people on here are feed up of seeing the same message every morning from me, my doctor has just gave me propranolol 40mg to take of a Morning soon as I awake and last thing at night, ask your doctor see what you think ( I'm that bad at the moment ) I couldn't tell you if there working on me, but others say they work for them. If you need to talk about it I'm here anytime and so understand
