Lately it seems when I wake up in the morning I am already overcome with anxiety. I sleep pretty well at night, but in the morning, my muscles become tense, I am jittery and then become worried about all the usual stuff. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?? Maybe because of BP, or meds, or anything?
I appreciate any thought ya'll might have!
Thanks!

Mornings used to be my bad time but it's changed to later in the day.
I think it was not knowing what the day was going to bring ect.

Yes i most often wake up with anxiety in the morning, alot of the time it will ease off by iitself.
I am not sure why this happens.
Mornings and nights tend be my worst times for it,if its a bad day then i roller coaster allday.

Mornings are just worse for me than afternoons. I guess mine comes from a lack of sleep.

I've had this same problem ever since i started with anxiety in February last year. At first it was terrible, i just froze up and couldn't function. It took over six months to get marginally better, i still have it over a year later but with less intensity. It's the worst feeling, i hate it. You're not alone!!! Thinking od you.

Thanks for the support guys, it's so good to know I'm not alone. I think once I get my meds sorted things will start to improve.

i got this when my anxiety ws higher than usual. i started doing a small stretch routine right when i woke up. i wouild stretch while lying and then get up and do some more. maybe for about 5 mintues or so. it really helped.

deleted_user 03/08/2008

yep, me too. Like you said maybe that is when the meds wear off or just anxiety about facing the day. I find if I am focused on something, it helps.

deleted_user 03/08/2008

could be just normal anxiety. I have anxiety issues ..and that sounds like how i am all day!
