I don't know what's going on now.. My anxiety and depression have been so bad in the morning again lately.. While I haven't had a panic attack yet, it feels like one is coming then doesn't happen. I almost want it to so I can feel the relief afterwards. Then the crying spells occur, too. The afternoon and nights aren't so bad... Just that looming overall feeling is there... I felt like I was on the right track so where do I go from here? It'll be a full month since my increase next week.

Sorry for the rant, guys!

I find mornings can be harder too at times. I think it is the mental feeling of having to deal with things for me. Evenings and nights are more relaxing. I get up real early now though and it is quiet. I need hours before I can handle things. I don't think that it is unusual to feel worse in the mornings. Practice breathing and meditation to help calm yourself.

I hope that things get better.

Hugs, Karen...

Controlled breathing with slow, mindful walking helps in the AM.

Bare feet in the house, or outside weather permitting.

Here is a link I hope will help you with these skills. They become easier was you do them daily.

www.mindful.org/five-steps-to-mindfulness/

www.mindful.org/how-to-be-mindful-when-you-dont-have-time-to-meditate/

There is also a set of small pocket size, paperback books entitled "How To" Sit, Breath, Eat, Walk, etc all based on mindfulness.

I have the How to Sit book, I give it in my purse at all times, very helpful at moments of stress.

Peace

Hi JRF007,

Don't feel sorry for ranting, that is why there is this site, where everybody supports each other with help.
I also feel anxiety in the morning and it is the worst. When I start to wake up and get moving around, then I start to feel a little better. So I understand what you're going through and I hope you feel better soon.
And please keep posting how you feel, good or bad, we all are here for you.
God bless,

I find the mornings hardest too. I find it extremely
difficult to get out of bed and go to work that sometimes I just can't manage it. I call in sick and then by about 10am I'm regretting having given in again. I don't know why it is, I guess bed is literally my comfort blanket as sleep is the only thing that gives me some peace.

Anxiety comes and goes. No reason at all for it either. I find the evening or coldest during the day my worst. Not sure why. I try to stay as warm as possible and just keep busy with something. I also try to stay way from most media. Facebook is thr worst because people are always saying that they are sick or something, then my mind thinks that my whole house is gonna get it and that spells doom for me. It's just crazy. So the start of the day anxiety is not only common but us all the worst for most.
