Wake Up Anxious Every Morning Posted: 10-23-05 08:05am
Lately every morning I wake up with
butterflies in my stomach. I'm nervous
and scared and have no idea why. About a
month ago a stopped using a medication I
had been on for the past 13 years. The
medication had many side affects one of
which was keeping me in a tired zombie
like state. Now i'm up and aware. I
wonder if that has something to do with
it?
Does anyone else every get these feelings
of doom and gloom in the morning? Once I
get up and start my day it all goes away
and everything is back to normal....Till I
wake up the next morning

A lot of people get anxious in the
morning...Don't know what the days is
going to bring, where it will take you,
etc. It is wonderful that the anxiety
goes away, that means you have the mental
power to stop it in the morning.
Did you stop your medication cold turkey?
Maybe that could have something to do
with it.

no. I stopped my meds over a period of a
month. I am glad it doesn't last all day.
I guess as soon as I fill my mind with
the routine of daily activities I am not
focused on being nervous any long. Some
days the thought of getting out of bed it
scary.

Yes it is scary! I often think how much
easier if would be for me to just lay in
bed all day...Then I remind myself that I
can't do that, it would only cause more
problems if I didn't get done what I
needed to.
