Why these horrible mornings?

I'm new here and have been reading so much of everyone's post. I can relate to so many of you. 
I can go through my day and feel great but when morning comes here comes all the shaking, diarrhea, thoughts. Then as the day goes on the sunshine appears I feel good. I think yup it is gone. Then here comes the morning. Yikes.


doctor upped my lexapro from 10 to 20. Now I am anxious about that. Will it hurt me? Will it make me more crazy? I took my first 20 dose last night. I will be afraid to take it tonight. I sure need your sweet words.


i went through this same thing 13 years ago. What helps me is that I did eventually got through it. But it reared it's nasty head and here I am again.

Try to set up a calming night time routine and also a calming morning routine to help you focus on the tasks and distract the usual thoughts.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

My morning meditation routine is critical in managing those morning anxiety rushes. That morning routine includes a personal inventory of any anxieties which are resisting my calming routines. I write about those to see where they take me and work on those in small, manageable pieces as time presents throughout the day.

Hope you find what works for you. I hope you give the Lexapro a try. Even if it doesn't work for you, you'll feel better for having given it the ol' college try, but it has worked for allot of people.

Sometimes mornings can be tough when you first wake up. Try to eat breakfast and maybe take a walk or sit outdoors. The fresh air helps. Taking a shower and getting dressed and just going on with your day. And you will forget all about your mornings. Good luck. Italianmomma4ever

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    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.
