so... if you're experiencing/have experienced the same thing, how did you cope with it or what did you do to stop/prevent it from happening again? it has become my daily struggle now 😭 2/2

I do the same thing! Like, as soon as I wake up my heart is just racing! I don’t even have a reason to be anxious or anything! Usually, I just count or say the alphabet in my head. I like to think of something for each letter. Like an animal or a fruit, etc. It kinda grounds me.

I will try this! But I really pray for some miracles for us so this stops. 😭

ugh anxiety is so hard. i tend to be more anxious at night but the approach would be similar i think. my first step is to acknowledge its there and not try to make it go away (that just makes it worse). then i try to calm my nervous system with deep breathing and mindfulness exercises (that doesnt…

work for everyone, so its important to figure out what calms your body down, could be stretching, could be 54321, could be taking a brisk walk). i like to view my thoughts and feelings as they come up like theyre printed on my forehead to help me figure out whats going on and what i need.

Thank you! It just keeps getting worse every morning and today I felt so nauseous at work and my stomach was upset too. I know those feelings were all because of my anxiety. There's always this feeling of an impending doom even though everything around me is going well 😢

im so sorry. that feeling is awful especially when its there often. the stomach distress is part of the sympathetic fight or flight stress response. if you can activate the parasympathetic rest and digest side, it can help a lot. remind yourself that youre ok and breathe through it the best you can

also, im not a medical doc, but if you can, it would be good to get a check up and share about the morning impending doom with no specific trigger. it could just be anxiety, but sometimes theres a biological contributing factor like an arrhythmia, hyperthyroidism. taking notes would be helpful too!
