Anxiety adrenaline waves every AM waking me from sleep.

Once I wake up around 4 I can’t switch off my worries that run through my head until I finally relent and get up. I don’t want to take any more medication at that time so try to get through the day but feel like a zombie. A real problem.

Similar ilc 6 years ago, wake up in distress every an 4am. On meds but they don’t work. Psyc tried me on 20 different meds. My oncologist was not supportive very clinical. Talked me out of chemo then said since I would take the radiation she would give me chemo.
Psyc said I have ocd. So the mornings are difficult. I’d like to on a trip, but worry. Right now trying to get the stomach ace under control then try to bring the stress down.
After my walk or swim I feel a bit better. Stage 1b, 13mm with one .99mm lymph node and 25 clear. Had dmx tried ect, tms, cbt dbt, tm, and I still have anxiety. At night , evening I’m much better. Good luck with your am anxiety, keep me posted. Love and Blessings

@help4meandu Have you tried writing down your worries, either at bedtime or when you awake at 4 a.m.? Getting those worries out of your immediate mind, and perhaps allowing you a chance to rest again. Are you able to adjust your bed time/time to get up, to accommodate this rush of worries? Just a thought of what you might try. I try to write down my worries ahead of resting. for me, that simply open space for other things to go barreling in, but then again, that's just me!
