Waking up with anxiety is the worse. I just plug along and get ready for the day and try to stay busy. I have the tingly feeling in my arms and foggy head. It gets better. Everyone has their way of dealing with these awful bumps in the road. You will as well. I take Xanax when I feel it coming on. I am on lexapro as well. It has helped me. Everyone is different though..

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

Doing activities and then having your brain bring out something that is happening inside your thoughts is often what displays sensations as mentioned.

Stay hydrated and do even breathing.

Keep writing it out.

It’s always because of some medical condition I think I have and it’s always the worse one. It makes me overthink and stresses me out and give me more symptoms.

Hello Kaisoren. Welcome to DS. Sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here.

For my therapy nickel, "Over-thinking" is the symptom I address, whether I am over-thinking my health or the neighbor's lifestyle. When I am in over-thinking mode, the over-thinking simply jumps to another topic. I can over-think anything. Would we have world peace if Donald Trump would quit wearing that ridiculous hairstyle? Or is that whirled peas? Whirled carrots?

Sigh. . . I'm never fully rational in over-thinking mode. . .

But that is me and every case is unique. I hope you'll feel safe to keep sorting your own case here. Steadying support while you sort.

Welcome aboard.

I think because we are running in fast mode all the time we burn through nutrients very fast. I’m a lot better taking vitamins and supplements which helps with physical symptoms. And like mid says, stay hydrated. It gives you more of a fighting chance.

Anxiety is a strange thing. If you start to allow your body to relax and do 'normal' things, sometimes anxiety doesn't like that and decides to interfere. I also wake up sometimes short of breath and have panic attacks. It's no fun.

Keep telling yourself that it will pass. Because it will. In the mornings, get right up out of bed and force yourself to jump into your morning routine.

It sounds like you have a bit of health anxiety as well. My biggest advice....dont Google your symptoms.

I agree with Ash122 100%. DO NOT google symptoms. It’s usually a dark road from there especially with the anxious state you’re in right now. Anxiety does strange things. Sometimes I go days thinking I’ve left it all behind me then all of a sudden it seems like I’m taking backward steps. In the beginning of dealing with anxiety I used to wake up anxious almost every morning but eventually this subsided. I think the best you could do is try your best to start eating right again and adding some physical activity in your day. This makes you feel more confident about your body and puts you in a better position to tackle the anxiety head on

those tingles and an electric zing through your body is a symptom of serotonin dropping like a rock---I had that once all through my body--thought I was dying--found out years later what it was..made total sense!
