Does Anyone Wake Up Totally Anxious?

Sometimes.
I find before or trying to get to sleep can be the biggest hurdle mostly.

Then, the lead up to (an hour or so before) having to start the day, as in, leave the house and carry out normal daily duties such as work.

That early morning 1-3 hour window has taken its toll on me many times.

But, I’ve recognised this and have made subtle changes to my routine when I sense ‘it’, coming over me to try and put the breaks on ‘it’, before ‘it’ gets the chance to take a hold of me.

Hope your day gets better.

Thoughts and prayers heading your way.

Yes!! Every morning I wake up anxious. I open my eyes and dread the day. This has been the worst aspect of my depression and anxiety. I am so unproductive because I can't motivate myself. No meds have helped this. I guess I wake up and wish I was at a happier time in my life. When your asleep it's an escape as long as your not having a nightmare!

Sometimes, it depends on whether I recognize the room I'm in!

I've had days that I open my eyes and swear blind I'm in a totally different room from my past and that gets me very anxious and it takes about 5 to 10 mins to get myself calm again.

You're not alone with it xxx
