I copied this from an article...I have read about
this in several sources. It helped me to accept and therefore lower/eliminate my morning anxiety. I hope this helps you too.:)

"Yes, depression and
anxiety are worse in the morning. That is when your body's cortisol level is the
hightest(cortisol is stimulating) and that accounts for probably part of what
you are feeling. Cortisol is the stress hormone, your body produces when you are
under stress.
The paradox of stress/cortisol is that anxiety produces
cortisol, which produces anxiety which produces more cortisol, which causes you
to feel more anxious...etc....
