Is anyone else's anxiety a million times worse in the mornings than during the rest of the day? I'm finding as the day goes on things are improving however first thing in the morning it's a nightmare, I feel like until I have taken my meds nothing works and I feel absolutely rubbish, I don't know if I am in my mind using the meds as a placebo effect and it's in my mind that I won't feel I can get on with things until I've taken them or if I really do feel rubbish until I've taken them! I'm off to hospital on the 5th for a scan on my heart and to have a 24hr monitor however it's my head that never feels right :-(

    I have been having huge anxity problems and i think that the worst is yet to come. I completly understand you that the worst is happening in the morning. I also wake up almost every day with enormous headache and nervousness.

    I always get nervous when i first wake up..and yes i take meds to.My first thought is..oh no whats going to happen today.Going through health issues and that always makes it worse.Especially waiting for test results.
