Does anyone wake up with crippling anxiety?
Is it depression, bipolar or ptsd? My Ptsd is from my old job so I am wondering if not wanting to work is even though it is a different job the ptsd is there. I just always expect the worse of everything. I need to work on the anxiety and triggers. Depression from the bipolar is not easy. Co-morbid illness makes it hard to figure out what needs work first.

Although I hate to admit there is merit to it, but I was diagnosed with PTSD with like 3 questions and without a real diagnostic assessment a few years ago. Most of my traumas are 20+ years old. I fought that a lot.
Whatever you can contribute the crippling anxiety too -- depression, bipolar, or PTSD -- the other two only enhance the level of intensity. So, really it doesn't matter -- comorbid conditions really make it that much worse. Lately I've been having issues with dreams/nightmares that bring up a lot of issues in my waking life. I'm sorry you are going through that. It's hell and I know what you're going through. |

I wake up feeling agitated and energetic often, I think it’s bipolar: my brain just darts around and I feel all weird; but on mood stabilisers I feel way more grounded. It’s like a cousin of anxiety. I hope you’re feeling fine, anxiety is literally so hard from what I can tell because there’s the non-stop worrying part as well as the distractibility.

I wake up with at least a small degree of anxiety. It goes away after I get up, but for those few minutes before I’m fully awake and ready to start my day, my mind races as I think of all the things I need to do and I dread it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets this, even though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Often I'm aware of the anxiety before I am even fully awake.

I have late afternoon and early evening anxiety. During the day I'm totally fine. Once 4:30 hits I'm an instant mess until about 7 or 8 at night. Then the morning comes and I am once again fine. That 4:30-8 time frame is often when I screw up on my diet or take an extra benzo or do something else.
This started right after I had major succesful surgery in October 2020 and I have not been able to figure out what happened. I did have a very tough physical and emotional recovery which took months to get over but I dont think its still going on. So I have no clue why my depression/anxiety is still going on. But its not in the morning. Last edited by Mountaindewed; Dec 26, 2021 at 04:55 PM. |

Yup. Stopped drinking coffee because of it. It's because of work, which is hell for me. Only thing that works is posting here and other online mental health forums.

I definitely feel more anxious in the morning. My pdoc said I just have a more anxious personality. I didn’t really find that useful.
