Hello to every one. When I wake up I feel like a rush goes through my body. Then I will start tingleling all over. My head will tingle to. My hands will start to hurt and tingle . Then i feel sick. This happen even before I get out of bed. My body will start to ache all over. Does this happen to any one? Then I will take a prozac and a ativan and with in a hour I will get really tired. Misty.

Hi

Yes I have experienced this before usually when I am feeling really anxious and have not slept to well it usually passes but is worrying. If it is concerning you I would advice that you go and speak with your doctor and see what they say. The ativan will make you feel tired.

Hi Misty,

Have you tried to combat this morning anxiety with doing the coping exercises that I posted?

Did you try spending 15 or more minutes practicing these...even before getting out of bed?

Doing this with the combination of using your meds could be the key to getting through this rough start!

Mitsy,

Get mad at this dang anxiety and get up with a  positive attitude about how your going to kick anxiety in the behind.  You don't need and you do not  want anxiety so do something physical as SC mentioned. Going back as far as I can remember, I was always a slave to ever-present anxiety. I lost friends, never made them, avoided events, stayed in bed, flaked, backed out and wasted more time that I can really wrap my mind around on worry.

No more - my time is way to precious. Learn to let go of these unwanted emotions as they arise, then release the negative energy – right on the spot – without getting overwhelmed into a state of high anxiety… or even a panic attack. 

You have it within you to heal yourself.

Kindly,

Kitt

I agree with S.C. and Kitt.....

Have you tried the exercises posted in our Resources section?

They are so incredibly helpful, and best of all, portable!

I must be having a dumb day. Where do I find the coping exercises? Do I need to log onto the various sites?

Pppffffttt...not a dumb day S.O. ;p I used to have trouble navigating the site too.

The Resources are on the first thread on the main A/P page. It is a locked thread, a different color and always at the top of the page....so you probably never even noticed it.

Here is the link.;)
