Waking up 😞

β€’10 Replies

When I wake up in the morning my mind starts going and I set myself up to have a bad day and then my anxiety starts up. I wish this would just stop.. I hate being me sometimes 😞 I don't know how this has gotten so out of control. I don't feel myself anymore and I am so sad. Maybe its time to go talk to someone 😞😞

Absolutely Rissa,

Please do consider talking to someone, its worth a try, :-) xxx

I just can't do this every single day. Im not even eating right anymore cause I constantly feel sick and upset. I am so tried of it and I constantly think something is wrong with me.

I can relate to that completely, please get some help, try your doctor or therapist? don't struggle along with it, its hard to break the anxiety cycle, we all need to reach out for help sometimes Rissa, your not alone, we feel your anguish here, but please try and see your gp, he might be able to help :-) xxxx

I am on medication for my anxitey (take as needed) I do feel better when I take it.. But my mind still goes wild and when the pill starts wearing off I know it and my mind and mood changes so fast.. I actually get upset and start crying cause its the worst feeling ever. I feel like I have lost my way and my world is black. I think back to the times where my anxiety wasnt bad at all and I could deal with it. Now I can't. I feel like its much stronger than me and I can't beat it. I am in tears as I am typing this because I seriously feel so lost and out of place. I wouldn't wish this on anyone

I totally get it, I do that to myself sometimes as well. All you can do is fight your way through the day and hopefully the anxiety will ease up. Try to keep yourself busy. Do you go to work? Maybe you can focus on something else and your symptoms will subside on their own. It is hard for sure though. I feel like it's a constant battle.

I do work but haven't been to work. I have been taking time off. I try and keep my mind busy but it is very hard. I love it when its night time because I finally feel at peace (probably because I know im going to bed soon) but when I wake up in the morning its like what am I going to do today.. Or what kind of fears am I going to have today.. I don't even like being alone. I convince myself at least 5 times a day that I am going to have a heart attack. But when I wake up in the morning which has been early for some reason.. Its like I have the whole day a head of me not knowing what to expect or what thoughts will come into my mind. It seriously sucks

Maybe going back to work wouldn't be so bad. It will give you a sense of purpose and normalcy. It will prove to your anxiety that it's not beating you.

I feel like I have hit rock bottom and don't know how to get myself out of it. Its like I am lost and so out of it. It has consumed every little bit of me

So my struggle as well. My boyfriend said to me in frustration yest. How he thinks u truly am working against myself and that I'm not fighting for myself to get through this because I probably wake up thinking the worse before I even get out if bed. And that I probably think the anxiety on. He says I have to change my mind set if I want to best this. He also said that I have to start loving myself again. And i do agree with him. He's right. But it's hard when I'm stuck in tunnel vision of my thoughts. It's terrible. I've said so many times, I'm going to do something simple as write a list of positive words, phrase, about myself so that I can wake up read it every morning and read it every night. I haven't done it yet. But I have to find some positive reinforcement. I feel this is out of control as well. And just as you said, I'm like how did I let it get this bad. How did it get this bad, and so fast.

It is a true struggle. And its very sad that so many people feel this way.
