Anxiety)depression

[Foxy36]

So for the past week now I wake up sick and feel so depressed but I start to feel better around midday and by the 6/7 I'm more myself? I'm not having trouble sleeping. It's so strange! You would think it would last all day but it's only the mornings! Can anyone relate?

Hi. I think this is the first time I have read anyone mentioning this specifically, but it is far more common than that would suggest.

It can be explained to some extent by realising that there are peaks and troughs in anxiety. As the day goes on we have more to distract us and less time for thinking about health and symptoms and so on. Similarly, as the day ends, we have fewer things to distract us and the worries can come back in again. So the anxiety has never gone away - it is just less noticeable at certain times of the day. We all suffer anxiety in varying degrees throughout the day and night, which helps explain why some people have no problem getting to sleep for example - medication is also an issue here of course. What this does show is that distraction helps control anxiety.

I am exactly the same way! Mornings is bad anxiety up until about 12/1pm at work I start to feel more positive and able to focus at work...I work as a domestic in a care home which I love because Im kept busy! X

There you are then - your explanation

[Foxy36]

Thanks guys. I'm just so over it! You think it's getting better and bang your on a downer again! It's one vicious cycle 😢

Yes I can! And honestly I think that's a sign of recovery. That was happening to me almost 2 weeks ago, and this week has been even better. I started taking magnesium yesterday and today and EVEN BETTER!!

I do hope so! I'm not as bad as I was 18 months ago. I just cried and moped and never got of the couch and couldn't eat... I'm clean eating, eating atleast 6 times a day,plenty of water and when the depression lifts a little I go for a walk. My biggest problem is overthinking and that leads to panic- fear and attacks and it starts all over!! I need help for that.

[RyRywifey in reply to Foxy36]

I understand completely. I had it exactly like that, really bad starting 2 months ago, and everyday, all the way up until literally yesterday really. As soon as I took my first magnesium supplement all of those symtoms have began to just disappear. It's crazy because right now, I literally can barely remember exactly what those symptoms felt like. I remember it was bad but I can't really remember the feeling. And it's only been 2 days of me taking the Magnesium

[Foxy36 in reply to RyRywifey]

I've been told that I should start magnesium. I'm going to talk to my Dr tomoz I will ask him about this!! Well I hope this helps you and keeps anxiety at bay 😀

[RyRywifey in reply to Foxy36]

Thank you!! And I hope you start it and it helps you too!! Dr's haven't really been trained in natural supplements to treat mental disorders or mental hiccups I like to call them, but see what he says. Either way, it's a natural supplement and it may be your answer too! I'm praying for you!! Let me know if you decide to try it and if you do let me know if it works.

I am the same, I take my tabs at night , and feel so poorly in the mornings . Like you said I start feeling better about 12 onwards, then as the day goes on I get more like my old self.I sleep well , but on waking, I have flutters in my chest, feel faint, and sweaty, and sick. Although I am wondering if I should still be on them ? Can anyone help please ?

I think mornings are the worst time of day for a lot of us. Sorry that's no help but at least we are all in it together xxx
