Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I get worse anxiety during the day time, I just woke up half an hour ago and was crying and shaking.. I sleep downstairs on the couch because i can't face being alone in my room in the late nights/mornings. I usually take a long nap so that the day is over because it's becoming easier for me at night.. Can someone give me some advice? Do any of y'all ever feel this way?

Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
I did feel this way when I was depressed.
I used to sleep a lot during the day if I could, and being depressed for some of that time made me want to sleep more. Sleep is quite a common reaction to depression - anti dep Meds can sometimes help with that although some anti dep meds have a tendancy to make you sleepy.
I now suffer from anxiety but I don't think I'm depressed any more or need the sleep like I used to. My current medication makes me want to sleep more, but I welcome that especially as I sleep during the night.
I would avoid sleeping in the day if it interferes with normal waking life, most people are awake during the day and I think sleeping away the day might lead to further isolation and anxiety.
I don't like to sleep in the day any more because I feel I would sleep less well during the night. Sometimes it feels like I could do with a day time nap but I usually overcome it.
That said I don't think there is any harm in day sleeping, for a nap/40 winks yes, but not in exchange for a night time sleep.
I take Ativan in the morning which helps but not immediately. Sometimes just sitting down, breathing deeply, and trying to talk myself through it takes the edge off. Therapy can be useful.
