Feeling like I can scream

Does anyone else anxiety tend to get worse at night? I feel like I can only do so much to keep my kind busy.... some nights are better than others but other nights I just want to cry and scream.. I feel like it has taken over my life! I wish I knew what it felt like NOT to have anxiety

Hi there! I was just thinking tonight how bad my anxiety is. I ALWAYS get heightened anxiety at night time. It’s awful. I’m so much better when it’s light outside... the minute I know it’s going I get dark it starts. It sucks!

Yes! I mean I am totally fine during the day.. happy go lucky, cheerful and soon as evening hits... I get a wave of sickness to my stomach and my heart starts racing

Hi ashanikita,

Mine is the total opposite. My anxiety starts as soon as I wake up but it gets better by night.

I guess it’s different for people.

I don’t take meds so it makes it a little harder.

Just gotta accept anxiety it and take it step by step.

My anxiety started a few weeks ago, so I’m very new to this, but I wake up with it, it seems to work itself out during the late afternoon/evening, then it peaks again at night. In fact it’s why I’m here right now. Trying to just work through it. It’s almost 1am where I am, and I got a wave of anxiety around midnight that just keeps pulsing.

It’s the same for me! My heart is racing, I can’t sleep, I’m tossing and tuning

Hi again Ashanikita

Is there anything you do during the day that makes you relax? Like watch videos or a TV show?

What you can do is transfer that activity from the day time to night and help you relax and put you to sleep.

I agree I noticed my anxiety wasn’t near this bad before covid hit, to me i guess it’s the fear of the Unknown
