Waking up nervous

Posted , 7 users are following.

does anyone else with anxiety wake up nervous afraid of what the day holds? its only so often it happens to me, usually on the weekends when i dont have anything to look forward to... my anxiety still likes to trick me into thinking something is wrong with me or that something bad is going to happen or it has me question if things are real.. its such a horrible feeling.. can anyone relate?

    I tend to suffer with this.

    However, if kept busy, it tends to dissipate during the day. Generally, my anxiety plays up more during the night or when i wake, to the point where if i am disturbed during the night (my child waking up crying for example) it'll trigger an anxiety attack most of the time.

    Even in the morning, i will feel exhausted (no matter how many hours sleep I had) but anxious at the same time with an overwhelming feeling of dread that i cant shake off.

    yes i know exactky what you mean. even the thought of the simplest tasks fill me with nerves. i have had medication twice in the past for my anxiety and it was brilliant. but last time i beat it on my own after a couple of weeks but a sudden death in the family has triggered my anxiety again and im waking up sick to my stomach. it tends to die down towards the end of the day. at the moment im feeling pretty terrible up intil about 4 ish. just hoping i can get through this again without meds!
