Waking up with anxiety

[Galyndra1217]

Hello, hope everyone is well. Was wondering if anyone has this feeling. It happens in the morning. I wake up and start worrying, thinking. When I start to fall asleep, I wake up and catch my breath and have a sinking feeling in my stomach. Heart gets a little racy. It’s disturbing. I’m hoping it’s anxiety. Thanks 🌝

Yes. Anxiety is often worse in the morning as we get a burst of cortisol to wake us up and get the day moving, coupled with low blood sugar so your body is asking you to grab some food. It can be hard to get back to sleep if your anxious though...

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. Definitely our thoughts too. So annoying.

Funny when we’re busy, no anxiety. Mind is on something else. Stay well. 🌝
