It seems like a never ending morning anxiety

[NemoAbella]

Sigh...no matter how I apply my breathing techniques, the anxiety keeps on eating me every morning. It is still 6:30AM in here, I really wanna take a nap, but I am afraid that my anxiety will become worst. Sigh...

Yes, waking up and anxiety hitting full blown is story of my life until recently.

Think I understand what you're going through.

Now I take a xanax1mg at 7 p.m. along with very low dose of muscle relaxer an hour before bed. Upon waking, not matter what time in morning after 5:30 a.m., take another xanax 1 mg with an antidepressant. It has greatly helped to stop the morning horrible anxiety/panic attacks

I changed my morning behavior also, by taking my dog for 1-2 mile walk as soon as he was fed, even if it was 6 a.m (The dog loves it and it helped me use up the energy anxiety or panic requires to continue. I make my walk route decision the night before so I don't have to think about where we are walking the next morning

....remember to have your dog "poop" clean up bag and water ready for you and your dog to go the night before.

Hopes this is of some help to you.

Those kind of mornings are horror incorporated.

Thanks for the tip sir. Sigh...I'm really afraid to take medications but I am so deperate now to have my life just like before, so I am taking my meds. Sigh...the only problem I got is my morning attacks 😭 Sigh...

Please hold on. Yes, it is miserable to go to bed knowing what the morning will be like. I don't like meds either, but is better than intense chronic fear or depression.

Yes sir! I will not only try to hold-on but I will try to win back my strong self thru the help of my faith, I will never give-up on my dreams, It is super hard! Yes! Esp. When the anxiety caught you off guard every morning. It seems like you don't have reasons to get-up! But I will never let this disorder take control of my life. We can do this sir!!!!!

Good. Be gentle with yourself and your soul. Rest from the struggle when you need. George Washington knew that it wasn't the amount of ground won from the British, or how many time the British won it back, just as long as he could keep his troops willing to fight. But he had to let his troops rest periodically. As you need to do. You will win the war, even if you have to lose a battle and regroup or you will wear yourself out.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope someone is there with you now.
