I have been using frankincense which has changed my sleep to being normal. Take magnesium as I am very deficient in it. Drink down 1-3 teaspoons of bentonite clay. Much of the morning anxiety is gone, but still anxious on a lessor level.
Any ideas on what else I can try? I am usually fine by the afternoon.

Hi Tan and welcome to the A/P Forum. :)

What coping skills are you currently practicing?

For example, breathing exercises, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Meditation. ..and physical exercise are all excellent choices to beat the high a.m. Cortisol levels, which contribute to anxiety.

Look into our Resources if you need ideas/links/material! :)

Post anytime for understanding and support!

Coping skills mostly involve having a dog and taking her for regular walks.

Hi

I can recommend Mindfulness Meditation it works wonders takes a while to master but well worth the effort we have some links in our resources and you can also get a lot of good apps for your phone.

Thank you for the kind offer. Going to turn it down as it has some conflicts with my faith.

Tan,

Mindfulness Meditation is really about relaxation and keeping worries out of our present state of mind...and does not bring any religious ideologies into the practice...

However, we understand and respect your choices...so know that you can find many other self help ideas such as breathing exercises, Progressive Muscle Relaxation and more in the Resources, that you may be more comfortable with.

Keep up the good work with the walking. ..this is definitely a benefit as well!

Keep posting and we'll keep you in support. :)
