Anxiety adrenaline waves every AM waking me from sleep.

Wow. I have had anxiety 30 year. Never experienced this, but thanks for all the information. I wouldn’t have known. I have a daughter with anxiety too. It may explain why she runs at 5:00 am. I’ll have to ask. Thank you all.

I feel my anxiety is mostly related to my worries over long Covid issues. According to my doctors it has ramped up cortisol, which is causing me to wake early, and feel agitation almost constantly.
Eating well and some exercise seems to help.

Like your daughter, I’m often up before sunrise walking (not running) briskly around my back yard. I’m not able to do this so much now because dizziness has gotten worse for me.
When I can “walk off” some of the adrenaline feeling, it is helpful.

I have a doctor who will prescribe Klonopin. I take a very low dose (.25) and it takes the edge off a bit.
Benzo drugs have taken a bad rap lately and many doctors will not prescribe. I think that’s a shame.

Good luck to you and your daughter.
