feeling ill in the mornings

[Jon10]

Hi all,

Does anyone else with anxiety feel a bit rough in the mornings, especially if they have to wake up early for work?

Over the last week I have been feeling ill when i wake up and for a couple of hours after, it gets better as the day goes on. Symptoms are Dry mouth, neausa, dry heaving, fatigue, weak limbs.

Does anyone know whether this is anxiety,? I have been suffereing from anxiety for a year but have only just noticed this.

Please note that I have been on a big diet recenlty, eating half as much as i usually do. I dont eat breakfast and am out of the house within 10 mins of waking up.

I take 0.5 Xanax twice a day and I don't know if it helps or hurts? I have irrational bouts of anxiety filled with thoughts that I'm going to drop dead any second now. I have been going through this weirdness for so many years now that it just wears me out. I try to pray and read my bible. I do ministry work to try and help others because I too can relate to so many problems. I did 27 years locked in a prison cell so I think it did something to me. I've been out 11 years now. Got married. Worked the same job for 10 years. Don't drink. Don't smoke. The only thing that seems to calm me down is cuddling with my 6 year old little boy and talking to him. I tell him about Jesus and we pray together. I have been taking the medication prescribed to me but honestly I'm not sure if it's "good" or "bad." ??? I don't get high off of it. I don't even feel anything at all. I take Xanax and Norco's for anxiety disorder and neck pain.

It might have.27 years is quite a while. Have you had therapy to deal with the effects? They might unlock something to help you feel better? Good luck!

I deal with the same thing. I always end up waking up at 4 in the morning, feeling sick to my stomach, dizzy as hell, with a massive headache, and my heart pounding. It takes hours for it all to subside. I don't eat a lot, but when I do I can't keep it down. I really don't know what's wrong. I was diagnosed with anxiety at age 6, and I've never dealt with this before until last summer.

Every morning i am so depressed i dont want to get out of bed..some days i have panic attacks in my sleep which is the worst i feel like i cant breathe..i hate mornings if i had to get up any earlier then i do now i dont know how id function. I have severe anxiety disorder and panic disorder, depression, hypochondriac..i am afraid to take medication because i feel it makes people worse sometimes..im trying to do this on my own with seeing my psych twice a week..living like this ***** but its good to know there are others who are going through the same things, makes me feel not so crazy

I was looking for answers as to why I had these feelings. Basically the exact same thing. I wake up usually 5 minutes before my alarm goes off and i cannot go back to sleep because my stomach is tossing and turning and i feel nauseated and shaky and weak. Almost like being hung over. I used to get it and I never found out why I got it. THen it went away for about a year and now it's back... I just wish I could figure out what triggers it. Because, it ***** to feel this way every morning!!

I don't know if you are still here, but I could use encouragement. Your story is me. I am now trying meds. How are you doing?
