Yes if I wake up in the night or when I get up in the morning I'm servely anxious n think I'm dying takes me a while to calm down

i wake up to anxiety because im thinking about how my day is going to go and work and everything i have to do but i try to just take it one step at a time

Yes I feel more anxious during the morning like aprilm said, i began to think about my day wondering if it is going to be good or bad. For some reason I feel better waking up a little earlier so I can "prepare" for the day instead of waking up and just getting on with it (like today).. tends to make me feel anxious.

Yes, I definitely feel worse in the morning - what I have been doing is taking my morning dose of medication about a couple of hours before I get up, so that when it is time to get up, the medication will be in my system, and lately, since I have been doing this, it has been much easier getting up in the morning, with much less anxiety.

Also, after I get up and drink some water and eat something, usually a protein shake (because it's quick to prepare and is very nutritious), I feel a lot better. But I know those morning hours can be horrendous...

Yes, unfortunately. I haven't slept through the night since Halloween. I always wake up around 2:30 having a panic attack. I even have to medicate myself before I can fall asleep normally.

I wake up really nauseaous like I'm going to throw up but never do, which make me really anxious. And I sleep like a baby at night, but mornings are rough. Try doing what shantayk does & get up a little earlier then u need to do, drink some water, and if u take any anxiety meds take one. I found that if I write down why I feel it's going to be a bad day, like I don't feel good, I'm anxious, I have to work, etc. it usually helps. Idk, but it a try. Feel better!!!

My anxiety is horrible in the mornings. I can never get back to sleep because within a couple of minutes after waking up the anxiety is out of control. Today is like that. I feel like I am going to vomit, heart racing, and an overall feeling of dread. I am sorry to hear there are other people out there experiencing the same thing but at least I know I am not the only one.

Anxiety is definitely worse for me in the morning, but I have found that having a set routine each morning really helps. Like - as soon as I wake up I do a few deep breathing exercises, then I get up and I turn on my tv (background noise helps to distract me), fix my tea and so forth...by the time I get a few steps into my routine, I start feeling a bit better. Something about knowing what to expect helps me to be more calm.

I've always wondered what chemicals have gone awry in the morning. Either too much of something or too little of another...or both.

I've had chest tremors that are really scary. I know it's not my heart because I have laid still and felt my wrist pulse and it's different than the tremors.

The only thing I can think of (after asking my shrink some questions) is that there are chemicals that keep up asleep and there are chemicals that wake us up.

I think there's something similar to or it is adrenaline that wakes us up...and I am thinking that maybe the tremors in my chest area are my hyper-sensitivity to whatever is being poured in to wake me up. Also, I wonder if my body is dumping more than necessary.

The other idea I have is that I have too much of what keeps me asleep early in the morning and not enough wake me up stuff. I've never awakened feeling rested.

However, I am sleeping mucho better since going back on CalMagZinc. I had stopped about a year ago for another reason and noticed that I have had 9 migraine w/aura's in 2012. I had only 5 in 2011 and 1 in 2010. Then I remembered I went off of them when I thought or misunderstood my doctor saying Mag contributes to a syndrome I have. Upon further ready Magnesium actually helps my syndrome!

I just start back about 2 weeks ago...and have exercise everyday since. So it's probably both.

for about the past month ive been experiencing this. I also get a decent sleep. Morning just seems to be the worst time for my anxiety. and it usually has to do with what lies ahead in my day :(
take care hun

I am new here and i also wake up in the morning wth severe anxiety.I have fast heartbeat and heavy chest shortness in breath.I also find myself belching alot as if air is getting trapped in my stomach and chest causing it to be hard for me to breath.I tried to go to work today and could'nt bring myself to drive there.I am on medication,but it seems to be adapting to the medication and it is not working as well.I have started reading books about how to cure it and It seems like its going to take time.I just hope my job holds up til then.

I know exactly how you feel. Same for me except I don't sleep well either. Wake up repeatedly all night. I don't. have insurance to get help. Am scared and alone. Feeling hopeless. Am so exhausted. I am tired of trying. What are you doing for help?
