I Always Feel Good When I'm Lying Down Or Sleeping

No trouble sleeping at all.I wake up feeling good. If I lie down on the couch and put some music on I feel good. It's when I'm standing and even more so if I'm standing anywhere in public away from the house that it starts. I guess if it was really anything physical then I wouldn't be sleeping so well and I would also feel awful regardless of whether I was lying or standing? I'm grasping at straws here trying to rationalize this.

Try not to spend too much energy or time at grasping!

Anxiety kind of defies rationalization...

I can have a stressful situation that has seemingly no effect on me...and then later get some anxiety symptoms out of nowhere, when I am not the least bit stressed.

Conversely to your experience...I feel much more at ease in public, like the store or the mall, where I am distracted I guess...than at home, when I am anxious.

It is such a strange disorder...different for everyone, and often changing just as we get used to things going a certain way.

I think that a more constructive use of time is to use coping strategies to manage anxiety...rather than mental energy trying to figure it out.;p

Peace and progress!
