Feeling like something bad is going to happen... why!?

Upon waking up this morning I was good for about a minute.
Then all of a sudden I felt like something bad was going to happen.

I don't think I'll ever understand why that happens, it's only happened one other time..
I went to bed feeling ok, I couldn't get to sleep for a while, I've been having problems sleeping for a week.

Has anyone else had this happen?
Dos anyone know WHY this happens!?

Almost sent me in to a panic attack!

But I tried and am still trying to talk my self "down", reminding myself it's just my anxiety rearing it's ugly head trying to bother me and make me feel like crap...

Hi.
I'm sorry you have to go thru this as well! It's such an unnerving feeling! My stomach was bothering me when I woke up and my blood sugar was elevated too... it's just such an off day for me.

Hi Mel,

Sorry this day is starting out rough!

Anticipatory anxiety...feeling like something bad is waiting around the corner is very common.

This is an example of the negative thoughts that feed anxiety coming to the surface!

You can combat this with positive mantras and working some Therapy Worksheets. (see Resources! )

When we replace the good thoughts with the bad...we not only have a powerful coping tool....

...we can also actually (over time) change our brain's neurotransmitters/chemistry to a healthier balance! Win-win! :)

Hoping you can turn things around for the better with using these tools.:)

S.C.
