I totally understand as I’m going through the same thing right now due to health anxiety. I wake up and immediately “tune in.” to what I’m feeling. I just started reading a new book I got from Claire Weeks “ Self Help For Your Nerves”. I also recommend Hope and Help For Your Nerves. She was an amazing Australian doctor that specialized in treating patients with anxiety. Many on this site have or are reading her books.

Hi there. I go through exactly the same. If i wake up at some silly early hour of the morning the morning anxiety is so bad I cant get back to sleep. So I take 1 propranolol or cut in half or quarter and then I can maybe get back to sleep for a couple more hours. Of course, the next wake up and it starts all over again. Its horrible. Have you seen a doctor about this?
