You have the best way of describing what happens with anticipation anxiety situation levels. In other words, you move around, it goes away, until you change the move around to something else, then it happens again. That morning uneasiness is easy to switch to anticipation by looking at what you do in that moment. I had to add a glass of liquid and it was enough to rehydrate me so that uneasiness was not noticeable.

Best wishes. You can do this!

I do too! I wake up feeling uneasy. I've tried the 'happy thoughts' the good things that might happen that day, the things to be thankful for but the darn uneasiness still greets me each morning. I'm with you, if anyone has any good ideas, I'll try them all.

I also find if I move around, I feel better, so some days, I get dressed in whatever is on the chair, and get on my bike. other days I sure have a clean house, and I'm thankful that works but I'd like to wake up with a smile on my face for a change.

I find sometimes I feel uneasy when I've first waking up and especially if I've had a weird dream.

What I find helps me is sticking to my medication regime. Every morning I take Prozac, Klonopin and trileptal for my Schizoaffective Disorder and anxiety.

The morning 0.5 mg Klonopin tends to iron out the anxiety pretty effectively. i take .5 mg in the evening too. Benzodiazepines are what I have found to be the most effective in fighting my anxiety.

For those hard morning there's always the wake and bake smoking marijuana first thing in the morning which I do indulge in on occasion. Only do that if it's legal in your state of course.

Yes, I have this too. It just started for me a couple of weeks ago. I take Clonazepam at night to help me sleep, but now I'm starting to have little bouts of anxiety during the day. It will start while I'm driving to work, but then go away once I get there. Then it will start again in the evening, when I get off work and think about things I need to get done at home. Same on the weekends. But once I am actually doing things, I feel normal. I am trying to recommit to my yoga and meditation practice so I can relearn how to be at peace with myself again. My rational mind says there is no reason to be anxious, yet my heart pounds and my palms sweat and I feel so nervous. I just joined this group, I am in the insomnia group but have avoided joining this group because I don't like talking about anxiety. So there, I said it, I have anxiety. Thanks for this post, I really relate to it.

Yes, I do as well. Some mornings I wake up and get a general sense of fear, like something is going to happen to me. I usually get up and listen to music or start reading something if I have nothing else to do at the time. It's pretty scary and it seems to have gotten worse lately, not sure why exactly. It also happens at night before I go to sleep sometimes, it's hard in general for me to sit anywhere and be still and not do something, my mind just races and I wind up driving myself into an anxious state.
