Hi, I also have a generalized anxiety disorder ....every now and then it rears up....and this turn of events in such a short amount of time
Would take a toll on anyone...I just like others, try to stay away from the news channels....I just find it better if I am thinking about something nice to be doing, or occupying my time with....I have been killing time this morning by going over some of the really cool scenes that came with my iPhone 11 in the Clips app. Later my wife and I will get brave and go to the commissary....masks and gloves 🧤 and all that good stuff.. but it is hard to deal with sometimes. For me, I wake up mornings (with the fears), and until I get going I am well aware of my feeling of unease.....thanks for sharing

@robbie1956 Hey you are new poster too. Bless your heart. I have depression and anxiety also. My meds really help, but I use to wake up the same way you do with dread of the day to come. Now I just wake up with a lot of pain, but I'm having surgery for it at Mayo on June 9th. So, I will be better. We have mental illness that runs through our family. Nieces, sisters. nieces daughter etc. My mom did suicide when she was 69 years old. I am 68. I have had good counseling, because I have had many sad things happen to me in my life, but it's all in the past. Have you tried counseling. I hope that one day you will wake up with no dread. Think of 3 good things right away, that helps me. Like today, it's so beautiful out with the looking through the new leaves at the blue sky. Easy to say, but hard to do. I know. Blessings
