Seriously, look up Dr Robin Berzin. She had a talk with Dr Carolyn Leaf on Dr Leafs podcast Cleaning up Your Mental Mess. It s the May 30th podcast.

This could all be gut issues. And Im guessing we have Sympathetic Dominance along with it.

Vagus nerve exercises can help.
I, too, cry in the AM. And this gut issue makes sense. If youve had any trauma in the past year: a death, break up, stress, betrayal, loss of job, concern or caring for a child or a parent who needs you, please listen to her.

Im in the process of trying to find an experienced gut doctor who is familiar with the balance of probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, etc.
Im looking to get tested.
Look for the book, The Body Keeps the Score.

So much goes on in our body while we sleep. But whats not going on might be your problem. Sleep is the time for the body to repair.
If you feel youre in fight or flight most of the time, its most likely SD. Sympathetic Dominance. Some say Post Traumatic Stress, but im not convinced they're one in the same.
The habitual morning crying is being perpetrated by something because it WEARS off later in the day. ( not always, but more times than not) And it might be that you're distracted, but who knows. If it happens every morning, your body is speaking to you. Find the person whos experienced to know what your gut is saying.
Get your gut checked. Watch what youre eating and pay attention to what youre not eating.

Blessings to you all. Fight the good fight of Faith!
Report here please if youve found a solution or someone who knows.

Thanks.

I also have a terrible feeling around the same time as everyone else, around 4-5 am., I take an Ativan 0.5 mg. and it goes away gradually, my doctor thinks it’s the Ativan because I take it in the early morning and then at bedtime so he feels I’m experiencing withdrawal. I can’t dismiss this entirely but it seems rather coincidental that so many of us have this problem at the same time and I didn’t read that anyone else is taking this medication. I am curious about the possibility that it’s gut related so I will look into this.
