I wake with a jolt of fear every morning!

Hi

Every morning I wake in fear, shaking in dread of the day ahead. Then my stomach churns and I have to rush to the bathroom.

My muscles are tense all day do I hurt. My stomach is in a mess as I am anxious when eating too.

I am not afraid that I have any major health issues , be a use I have had every test imaginable!

I am afraid of my anxiety symptoms, to the point that I won't go out because of them!

Anyone else feel this way?

Hi Pat just looked at your profile, I have 8 grandchildren, and must be a similar age to you. I have suffered with this on and off through my life too, and got through it. I can't understand why I have had two and a half years of it now, I gave up a stressful job two years ago, thinking it would sort me out...but to no avail. I seem to be in a never ending circle, and I want my life back. I do try, but I think my body is hyperstimulated now and I level in a state of fear and what ifs!

this morning in particular, i woke up in a state of panic over the day’s activities. i laid down in bed like that for a couple of minutes until i finally decided to stop my body’s usual anxiety response, by honing in on my breath. i also went ahead and said a few positive affirmations to calm my mind and body. later on in the morning, i’ll be exercising for a bit as well to help properly prepare myself for today.

It's really horrible, I want to be able to wake up and look forward to the day like I used to....

At least you are trying, you have to do that!
