Anxiety Support Group
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 know how you feel. I start my day with a brisk walk and always come back feeling better. They say it stimulates something in the brain.

Hello. Yes I know how you feel. Morning is full of dread and despair because I get so overwhelmed. Part of what's helping is getting professional counseling and through talking I'm discovering that waking up while growing up was not a good experience and then I psyched myself out thinking mornings would always be stressful. I just found this group mostly because of this problem in the morning. I'm trying to connect with people first before I start my day. I am next going to take a walk around the block and back. I'll start off slowly because I know with my ocd I'll start too fast and too much...so I'll go slow and just be happy I'm outside. Gratitude in the morning is very helpful too. I too wake up in the later part of the day...sometimes too much. Take care. LC

I have the same problem. Every morning I wake up early, with a knot in my stomach and a my head racing. I usually start off anxious and scared, and then become very angry. Then I cry. Then I go back to sleep. It's a bad pattern that I definately need to fix.

Hey! That sounds just like me! When the dreaded alarm goes off in the morning i turn it off and go back and try to go back to sleep to until the morning is over never normally works. I prefer night time dont no why i think its because everythings stopped and it kinda quiet whereas morning everyone is on the go (appart from me lol). I find if you have a aim to the day that seems to help me get up and helps me deal with morning as i have something to focus on! Anyway hope that helps!

I feel the same way. In the mornings, I feel much more anxious and depressed. I will often struggle to do normal morning routine things, and then around 1pm or so I finally start to feel somewhat better.

wow this is unreal. me too. ForMario, you opened my eyes. getting up was a bad experience growing up. i was not allowed to sleep in, even on weekends (except my grandparents house). my father felt it a waste of time so i had to get up and be productive. he would hollar at me and flash my room lights then leave them on. i would lock the bathroom door, turn on the shower and go to sleep. that helps explain, or would be a reason, why i like all of you share this same thing. early afternoon i get to feeling better and wish it would start earlier.
