rubber band ready to snap

Hello everyone on here, hope everyone’s having a good Wednesday. I’m usually on the anxiety-depression support community, but lately the anxiety is taking the drivers seat. I’ve always had anxiety, I’ve had OCD ever since childhood and then I started having bouts of severe depression a few years ago. Recently my brother passed away and it has not been easy to say the least. My brother died unexpectedly and although I try and do things to keep my mind preoccupied it’s been extremely difficult. I’ve been retired for about 3 years now, and being retired I do spend a lot of time thinking. Im definitely trying to keep doing the things I enjoy doing like my weightlifting, trying to play chess. One thing I’ve been trying to do is socialize, even though lately I find it pretty hard.

I just really find that lately I wake up anxious and really really wound up. If anything is gonna happen in the future I start Worrying. In reality my life is pretty good, to be honest, but what’s really affecting me is impending doom, that my mind keeps tricking me into believing. I must say it’s been pretty hard lately , my brothers passing, my intrusive thoughts. Thank you all. SAMSON

You sound like me….only it was my sister who has died. My mornings are also bad. I’ve started exercising and I take Klonopin twice a day. It is slowly getting better. Hang in there my friend.

I understand about Morning Anxiety, it is the worse. I used to love the mornings and see the sun come out. Now I just dont want to open my eyes. I have a good life but for some reason im scared. Sorry about your brother.
