What are your morning anxiety symptoms? Mine are tiredness, stomach ache mostly bowel related, chills, uneasy feeling.

I just am having a horrible time this morning, feel terrible. The only thing I have been googling is morning anxiety.

Hey guys,

Sending positive thoughts and well wishes your way!

I am sorry you are both having rough mornings...it is no way to start off a new day right? ;(

If you can, try to put your time, energy and focus on learning a new coping skill rather than googling. In the long run, it will be an action you don't regret. :)

uneasy feeling, palpitations.
Usually gets better after I get up. I get my symptoms right when I wake up.

The reason I google is because I don't trust that it's "just" anxiety. I can't be running to my doctor every time I feel bad.

Queasy stomach, uneasy feeling, exhausted and overwhelmed. I usually perk up after my shower and first cup of coffee:)

Hi

I usually find my anxiety is high in the morning and it depends on how I sleep if I have had a bad night I will have high anxiety in the morning.

The pull of google when you are feeling anxious is huge I fight the urge to google my symptoms every day and it's hard not to but it is best avoided as it will only make you feel more anxious.

I can share this with my dear HW friends, one thing a trusted dr of my father told us once.

"If same symptoms come and go for a while now and if they don't become worse or kill you, then these are absolutely not caused by something dangerous."

I try to remind this to myself with such symptoms which cause anxiety "how long they have been happening to me? Nothing bad is happening because of them... " and practicing breathing techniques.
After a couple of minutes they go away...

Google definitely is not helping with anything. The assurance it gives is just until the next time you have the same symptoms.

Rrakkma, that makes sense and really helps. All my symptoms go away by bedtime and I feel great then. I go upstairs to my bedroom, take a bath, primp girl stuff. Watch my shows, snack and feel myself again. Then next morning BAM, back to nervous nelly.

I was just about to post a topic on this subject because today is a bad bad day.

Rrakkma's statement from a doctor is truly helpful. I've been feeling this way for well over a year. Some morning are better and some are like today.

Knowing I'm not alone with this suffering helps too. Still I want it gone, I want me back the way I once was, carefree easy happy calm.
