Low Energy In Morning

Hi All:

For several months now, my mornings have been difficult for me. I just can't get moving, including weekends.

I understand weekdays when I'm heading to work (first panic attack occurred at work, light headed feeling worst there), but my weekends

I do function ok once I get up and moving, but it is getting harder to do this.

My family doc essentially said I'm not just a morning person. My med mgmt. doc increased my klonopin. Therapist suggested mindfulness techniques. I just started going to a naturopath doc and waiting for blood test results.

Thanks in advance,

PG
(Klonopin up to 1.75 mg. GAD, OCD, depression?)

Know how you feel about morning ,my worse time of day. Hope it goes well with the naturapath.

Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes with the ND.

I understand low energy in the mornings, I have the hardest time getting up out of bed, I have to force myself, so I've started making a list of things I need or want to get done each day, I make the list in the evening for the next day, when Im feeling pretty good, then I check off the items as I do them and sometimes they are as simple as- get up- take a shower--go outside for 30 minutes- talk to someone (anyone) and I push myself one baby step at a time. Some days are easier than others, but everyone is allowed to have bad days.

Hi Parksguy,

How did everything go with the naturopath? I have always had difficulties with lack of energy in the am as well. Have you tried working out in the mornings? That used to help me be awake for the rest of the day. I also take B-12 liquid 5,000 mg each morning to help with energy, and can tell the difference when I don't take it. Coffee alone doesn't do the trick. Best of luck to you! Hope you are making some progress!
