Morning anxiety

Mental health
1

so my anxiety is through the roof as soon as i wake up in the morning... its hard to do anything because i feel so horrible.. its been going on a year now in between all different meds my question is has anyone else had it go on for this long ? i have severe health anxiety with alot of physical symptoms which dont help either

Its horrible isnt it. The second my alarm clock goes off Im hit by the anxiety rush. Sweating, feel sick and am full of dread. At night when I am feeling more calm, I contemplate not going to sleep so then I dont have to wake up, if that makes sense.

I have strong morning anxiety,too.
This is what I do.
As soon as I wake up I am hit by a rush of angst - what will happen today - who knows - something bad? Could be anything - bet it will be bad, though…
(Oddly, the sunnier the day, the worse the anxiety.)
Then I try to fill up my head with other thoughts and push the bad ones out.
My thing is centering prayer - a word - I say it over and over and over and try to slow down my breathing (closed mouth of course) slow, smooth, breaths…repeating centering prayer all the while.
Helps me get out of bed and to start my day…pretty soon the anxiety dies down.

i feel this a lot. i actually wake up holding my breath . i wake up nauseated and feeling very fatigue . im 18 and have been dealing with generalized anxiety disorder aswell as health anxiety.. since i was 13. its awful. and honestly the only thing that works for me is an essential oil. i have been on prozac (fluoxetine) and cipralex . i am now med free (anxiety is a lot worse) but i prefer to heal myself naturally.. i do not agree completely with medications to treat this . its awful & it takes a lotttt of work to get over it but.. some day we will be able to. hope things get better. talking to a therapist may also help!!

I know how you feel Carl, I been having panic attacks for 30 years now..They come and go. but the GAD never leaves…from I wake up until I sleep…life is no fun anymore, cant take A/Ds because I have high eye pressure…I am taking 2mg of xanax spread over the day…Dont care about taking them..They get me out of bed in the mornings…and helps me to function..x

I get morning anxiety, when I was very ill two years ago as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, it would just hit me in the chest and stomach area like something was waiting for me just to wake up and then pounce.
It led to serious depression and I was very suicidal too.
I’m off meds, but I still get it some mornings, I get it very bad if I’ve been drinking the night before.
As soon as it hits me, I have to get up and out the door, I feel panicky and feel like I need to escape!?
Lack of sleep also makes me anxious, I can have full blown panick attacks too.
