Have you ever tried meditation? I generally have bad mornings too. Would often keep me from sleeping. If I feel good at bedtime I dread going to sleep and waking up feeling poorly.... crying before I even open my eyes.

Now I start each morning with a quiet time of meditation and positive self talk. I take the time to focus on my breathing and centre my thinking before I engage in the world around me. Before any of the days planned activities are allowed in my head to crank up the anxiety I level myself with calming messages.

I prefer being alone so I can't relate to how you feel when everyone leaves the house for the day. That's usually the moment I say "Yah! I'm alone again." My anxiety starts again when school is out and my alone time is broken. I usually have a short quiet time again before my son gets home so that I'm ready for the change of pace and energy.

It might help if you engage in doing things that you would normally do alone even if there were people in the house with you. Maybe a relaxing bubble bath or give yourself a facial or manicure. Pamper yourself a little and try seeing the time alone as time to attend to your personal needs.

Getting outdoors with nature is always very grounding for me. Greeting neighbours or going to the park to play with the children or chatting with the moms and dads can break rountines enough to have a calming effect.

Hope things get better for you. It's no fun starting our days with a cloud over our heads. It is a head game we are playing with ourselves. Talking ourselves into doing the things that we least feel like doing. I know the call back to bed all too well. It usually leaves me wanting more because it's just a delay tactic that doesn't work. What I was avoiding is always there when I wake again or finally push myself into action.

Love yourself.....
