Morning Anxiety

You are not alone. If you google it you can see that alot of us have this problem. The doctors need to crawl out of their dark holes and learn about Depression/Anxiety, Panic. It is more prevalent than ever.

Thanks Teresa! I will chevk this out.

I have COPD and sometimes would wake up with a feeling of "What am I going to be able to do today?". The last election 'news', which I watched all the time had me so depressed that I finally stopped watching or listening to it. That helped considering the candidates!!!!!.

Sometimes i also get awoken from a sound sleep too.

what do you do about it to help yourself?

I'm glad to see I'm not alone either.. My doctor is aware of it but all the advice and Lexapro does not seem to help very much, if at all.

Same with me.. My doctor says are chemical changes in the brain at night...particularly with seniors--which I definitely am.

AS the day goes on or sometimes after a low dose of Xanax my mood will start to lift.. No association with food.

I do--Sometimes wish that the evening could start in the morning... Glad to know I'm not alone out there

This is the first time I have posted.. Hoping to hear from new friends with a similar disorder...

Yes. I've been taking antibiotics i.e. Lexapro and Wellbutrin for many years. For the past few years I have found that when I awaken in the morning I am depressed and then anxiety sets in because I don't want to start "must do's". After I take my meds I find I start to feel better in mid-afternoon. Evening is my best time. Wonder if I could take my meds in the evening instead in the am. This problem doesn't seem like much but for me it's hell.
