Anxiety

I'm having a lot of anxiety today and I don't know why. I all kinds of emotions to deal with. It's just hard.

I wake up most days and as soon as I open my eyes my anxiety starts. I know how hard it is to deal with.

Yeah that happens to me sometimes. I'll just wake up with this anxiety and there's not anything that even triggers it. At least not that I know of.

For me it's the same. I go to sleep with soft meditation music I don't have nightmares but still wake up anxious. I fret over everything-money, health, being 65 years old now. My mind gets consumed with all the bad things and mistakes I made during my life. I can't seem to focus on good things that I did. It's crazy

That's the problem - crux of the problem. Most of the anxiety are illogical. For example: driver's license exam was a stressful for me, whilst it was only exam (not dangerous situation, not a war, concentration camp etc.). So, parents asked me: "Why are you so scared?". And I had no answer.

Don't know if it will help,but when I found out I had TRANSFERRED the anxiety from when I was child with
parents,to the outside world at large,it was a real boost to me.
Damn sure I wasn't going to do it a second time!

I ID with you 100% ! The minute I wake up the s*** machine starts in. immediately!!! I’m about the same age , same worries and in the end I’m just wasting my life away. And to the original poster. It doesn’t matter how old you are !! You have to learn how to slow down your mind. Concentrate on the moment. There is only NOW ! Take a deep breath and start working with whatever tools you got ! Practice ways to bring some calmness to your mind.
There are many out there if you look hard enough.
Best to you......
