Everytime i wake up i get nervous for no reason thinking theres something wrong with my health and feeling on edge all the time . my whole body feels heavy . its driving me insane
many people with anxiety can relate to that including myself. For some reason, anxiety tends to build up overnight sometimes and the adrenaline is high. I know it can be difficult but don’t give into the fear because that will feed the anxiety. Just get up and get going and do some thing., Whether it’s go for a walk, exercise, do things around the house, socialize with others whatever keeps you busiest. there comes a point though where you have to try to figure out what is causing your anxiety in your life. Whether it’s family, work, school, whatever we have to figure that out so that we can manage the anxiety better. Speaking with a counselor can help you sort all this out. Simply distracting yourself isn’t going to fix the problem, it just makes you feel a little better in the moment. just know that that feeling you have in the morning is very common and not harmful. Take care of yourself.
thank you jan i just been having stomach issues for over 2month but getting it sorted .when i go to work i feel better but its the sleep and waking up feeling i have not slept well i just start to worry i hope this will go
I have this every single morning. As soon as I open my eyes I feel the anxiety and apprehension. I feel unconnected to my body and always feel like something is wrong with me. I feel light headed and wobbly. This lasts about an hour then it subsides and I can continue my day. I dread the mornings now which is so annoying! It seems to be very common for anxiety sufferers to have it worst in the mornings or when laying in bed before sleep at night
i just want to be normal i was not like this 2 months ago never feared of anything .this all started when i fell i hit my chin and my head . i started to panic that i had head in injuries and ever since then im just nervous about nothing my mucles are so tense and having digestive issues .i hope this goes .
Anxiety can develop from a lot of experiences. Both rational and irrational things can trigger anxiety, and the best thing to know is that none if it is your fault. No one picks when they suffer with anxiety.
Perhaps the feeling of hurting somewhere as delicate as the head can make you think you’ve damaged something in your head, or that you’ve knocked your brain and it’s malfunctioning? Both of which are not the case, by the way.
I have had anxiety for a while over the idea I was losing my memory at the age of 12. I couldn’t get this brain fog away that came over me one day and lasted throughout secondary school (which finishes when you turn 15) and it subsided until I started university and I had to drop out.
It is a very irrational thing to get anxious about but to the sufferers of any condition, they know only how real it is with the symptoms they experience. I think placing the constant thought of these issues happening after you hit your head is reinforcing the notion that you believe something is wrong with you because you hit your head.
I’ve suffered some really nasty blows to the head, a bit from bullying and a bit from my own stupidity as a child (my brother gave me a piggy back ride when we were in the bedroom and he dropped me, I hit the back of my head off the metal railing on the bed and we then knocked heads, was very painful).
I believe the response your trauma could be exasperating some anxiety symptoms. Now I am not a doctor or neurologist or anything qualified so do not take what I say as definitive fact. I do feel like ruminating on the injury will not help the anxiety as sadly there is no chance to go back and redo that moment.
Take solace in knowing that up until now you had absolute control and nothing has changed in that regard. You still control your life and everything that goes on in it and you will be back in your stride in no time ![]()
Take care,

milao, when laying in bed at night, one thing I do every single night is listen to soothing meditations on YouTube for anxiety. That’s the only way I end up falling asleep. they were hundreds of them. Especially like one called it’s OK by lauren ostrowski.
she has a very soothing voice and gives me Great assurance. Check them out! If I don’t do that I’ll lay there and my anxiety will increase and I will just be miserable. take care .
I agree. The ambience and environment you set for yourself can work wonders for when you wake up. Making sure you are safe and in a good state of mind when sleeping is good.
I love classical music on the piano and have a playlist of nice songs such as clair de lune and hungarian rhapsody 2. I also use this as I have quite severe tinnitus so it can affect my sleep hearing a ringing in my ear when its quiet.
Make sure you are relaxed. I think mornings can be bad for those who suffer with anxiety due to the increased cortisol in the morning, the fact we have to plan what we are doing can be overwhelming. Just remember ultimately, self care is paramount to everything in life.
