Morning anxiety
Hi all, I'm new here. I joined yesterday and am working through my personal steps.
I seem to wake up with morning anxiety and panic attacks and end up crying. Yesterday from using the app throughout the day, I managed to have a good day, the first in ages. I felt in control again. This morning I've woken up and instantly felt anxious, panic, and then the tears came because I'm worried I won't have a good day like yesterday, that yesterday was a one off and I'll never get "better".
Has anyone experienced this morning anxious feeling? How did you overcome it?
I want to feel happy again and look forward to the day ahead, and I do have things to look forward to, the morning feelings just take over and consume me so I don't get to feel excited about my day. I just feel dread and overwhelmed.
Thanks for reading x
personally i just tell myself this;
why be stuck on something that happened before? not every day has to be great and thats alright! i focus on completing small things that make me happy (making my bed, washing my face) and prepare for the next day. alternatively, try something out of your comfort zone (dont dive right into it, baby steps) and see how that goes. if you like it, you have a new fun activity to do! : D all of this is easier said than done though, so thats why i just prefer doing small fulfilling things to brighten up my day a bit
Thank you for your reply. I think I'll try reminding myself next time that today can be what it's meant to be and if it's a great day then awesome, if not then that is okay too. I can see that I was putting too much pressure on myself to have a good day.
no problem! have a nice day!
Yes I have experienced this. Sometimes, I get nervous about what the day is going to entail and I would rather just stay in bed. However, I have learned to remind yourself about the wonders that life contains and how that being able to see another day is a blessing in disguise
