I have very bad anxieties I feel like I want to jump out of my skin.I did take my med but they arent helping to much.I wonder because I have to see my doctor next week the land lady comes this Sat oh goodness the wind scared the daylights out of me.I have that awful tingly feeling from my thighs to my ankles I have had this before it is panic ,this has been all week I have been feeling this way,and of course I have to be very careful when I get up because I feel shaky I am on inderol for that,it usually helps but this is so bad nothing will.Kind of feeling like I am on withdrawal I am not skipping my meds just to much adrenaline.How can you just wake up and have bad anxieties.Am I the only one who gets like this? I hope everyone here is ok.

Xmascarol, you are not alone with this. When I have periods of anxiety it is always worse in the morning. Maybe for me because at night there is less pressure to go out and get things done, so I can relax. I have mostly never been a night worrier. Lately when I open my eyes in the morning I am scared & I feel like crying. I never know whether I can go out & function normally or whether I will be to afraid to go outside. I think for me it is having a lot of stressful deadlines at once and having been triggered lately from multiple sources. I don’t know whether I can get it together to do what needs to be done.
Also, I have (checking) OCD, which makes it stressful to leave the house.
Anyway. Lately i have made a point of listening to a meditation app on my phone every morning & drinking a cup of herbal tea. Maybe I will try journaling in the morning. Or listening to uplifting music.
Are there things you can do that you find comforting?
Good luck. Didn’t mean to go on so long. Thank you for posting that, I feel less alone.
