Im currently waking up with severe anxiety and some days panic. It helps to have a morning routine but bloody hell, it is hard to do when you feel like that!

When in panic, I lay in bed, take a few deep breathes until I am composed enough to get up. I dont have to get dressed straight away - a dressing gown is fine to wear to start with - so the challenge of getting dressed isnt causing anxiety. I go outside, sit out for 10 - 15 minutes with a glass of water, do some breathing exercises then I will tend to the animals. Breakfast and meds are next, then comes getting dressed but slowly slowly. My morning routine takes at least an hour. Usually this helps some.
