Hello

Well try and turn this into a positive , I know not easy when you are feeling anxious but how well did you do last night to change your thinking to feeling positive

As you know when we have anxiety this can be hard but you did it so that is a sign that it is there but with anxiety it will always try and creep back in like it has this morning and this can go on a while till we get used to turning these thoughts around

When I have had these thoughts I have told myself even spoken out loud and said O here we go again anxiety trying to take control well I won't let you ! I then try and push the negative thoughts out of my head and when they try to come back I keep pushing them back out again and eventually we become in control and not the anxiety

I hope you will take these negative thoughts you have had this morning and tell them you are having a day of and you are not interested in what they have to say

Take Care x

Hi. the mornings are quite often worse for me too, I can go to bed feeling fine and positive but every morning without fail I wake up feeling extremely low. It makes the worst start to the day, but please remember it doesn't have to define your day. You have the rest of the day to try and turn things around. I notice around midday but mood tends to lighten a bit. Remember they are just thoughts, not fact x

You are so right, but it is sooo hard to do. Waking up scared and defeated each morning has become a known factor now. I sometimes believe it is a learned behavior gone in the wrong direction. I like what you said about

it not having to define your day. "They are just thoughts not fact" (I will

remember that until I get it right) Thanks for the input. You may think you are helping one person but end up helping so many others. Sending good

thoughts your way.

I know how hard it is, every morning I struggle with feeling scared and defeated. I feel ashamed to admit almost every morning I wish I had never woken up. I look at my husband and toddler and want to cry because my messed up head tells me I'm not good enough, they deserve better and then the panic sets in and I wonder how on earth I can make it through another day. But I will beat this, every day I'm getting stronger, I'm just holding out for the day when I wake up feeling ok. It will come, for both of us ☺️.
