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.

I am finding that there are certain times of the day when my anxiety is worse.  First thing in the morning, before I've started moving and doing jobs.  Then I'll be OK until the evening and everything goes bad again, my stomach is churning, I feel on edge etc, I cant wait for it to be bedtime, not that it makes much difference, I even wake with anxiety during the night!  Any ideas as to how to cope with it!

Hello ruthgrps

I'm sorry how you feel but I'm the same from the time I wake up it's like a bomb going off in my stomach it can last for hours or even all day I tried talking to my doctor again but I just got blanked out I can not cope with it anymore I feel I'm getting out of control. I'm sorry I don't know what to say to help I will send you a friend request and maybe we can talk more if that's OK.

Find something to distract your usual thought pattern.

You're doing great when you are staying active.

If you live with constant anxiety, be it mild or severe, this is very common. Your body is use to operating at a certain level of anxiety. When you start to relax....like being asleep....your body starts to realize this and says "NO you must be anxious." This is why you wake up in that state of mind sometimes. Try to get in a routine before bed or when you wake up in the morning to take your mind off the immediate anxiety.

And I understand the stomach issues too.

Definitely agree that it hits at a certain time of day pretty much every day... mid afternoon and bedtime... other times too but always both those times... still trying to figure out how to break through it being so consistent.. music seems to be helping me a bit in the afternoon. Whether it's singing some of my favorite songs on pandora or calming sounds on YouTube.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
