Horrible morning anxiety (on waking)
Hello everyone,
I’ve had a setback recently (wrote about it on another post) so in turn have been having some cripping morning anxiety, the second I open my eyeballs my stomach starts to churn and the horrible intrusive thoughts start to creep in. I have also now noticed that I’m already anxious about being anxious on waking when I go to bed at night, basically telling my own brain that it’ll be anxious on waking. So of course I am now stuck in this vicious anxiety cycle and tbh I feel like I’m spiralling.
Any tips on how to combat this? Or anyone in the same boat? Just feeling a little trapped in my own brain right now guys xxx

Re: Horrible morning anxiety (on waking)
Hi there yes ive been having this and more since before Christmas but haven't posted on here because it's so common and I know anxiety can be worse in the mornings, but every morning I get the stomach start then once I stand up out of bed I feel I have no air and get panicky ,when the breathing started and feel of air in my throat and heart beating fast I started to think it was something else and not anxiety but I haven't been to see a doctor about this as I have the biggest fear of them and tests so I go in my garden every morning and do breathing exercises and then just try and carry on with this horrible feeling till it wears off which it does do but sometimes not for hours, and this has been every single morning for a few months ,other than getting some fresh air in the mornings and taking deep breaths that's all I do about it so I also would like some tips, but I think worrying about the symptoms every day will make it worse for me because i won't go and get it confirmed it is definitely anxiety that's my own fault but I'm just terrified of doctors and hospitals that much I just put up with it, hope yours wears off soon .

Definitely in the same boat. Been having a lot of anxious dreams lately and waking up multiple times a night, having multiple different anxious dreams. And I wake up in the morning feeling hot (even though the temperature in my room is the same as always) and feeling adrenaline running through my body.
I have no idea where it comes from. I've been feeling fairly calm for months. It just started happening. I'm accepting it and waiting for it to pass
