Anxiety in the Morning? Morning Cortisol Awakening Response

[@robertrodriguez9445]

my brain goes 100mph+ as soon as I wake up, I just fear waking up. It's like I have no peace in my mornings

[@mikeg1433]

Exactly how I feel recently. It sucks to say the least. Mornings are such a battle and it’s so frustrating. I think it’s mostly the seasonal changes for me (record long winter and suddenly spring is here with tons more sun) and the day light savings shift definitely didn’t help. It’s like I’m suddenly getting way more energy in the morning but my brain just doesn’t know what to do with it so I go straight into almost panic attack level anxiety. Hope you overcome it soon.

[@Vargolis]

@@mikeg1433 mornings are tough. My body just seems to choose to be anxiety especially my tummy. Will try the intensity exercises as I think that will help

[@mikeg1433]

It’s so frustrating how all the things that you apparently need to do to overcome the condition are those things that feel most impossible to do because of the condition. No hunger whatsoever? Eat. Crave sugar and caffeine? None of that for you. Anxiety to the level that you want to curl in the fetal position? Blast your eyes with sunlight and start knocking out push-ups. Why does our brain and body seemingly intuitively drive us to avoid doing the things that are supposed to help us?

Oh my God‼️ I’m a survivor of Hashimoto Thyroiditis, 36 years undiagnosed, 21 years figuring it out all alone and finally 2 1/2years taking immunosuppressants under an amazing rheumatologist’s supervision and supplements that made me feel like I did before my symptoms started in 1972. I’m also post menopausal and when I was able to isolate my morning anxiety from the many Hashimoto symptoms I actually did everything you recommend including eating avocados along with protein for breakfast. Eureka, along with a morning meditation before I get out of bed I am eliminating that cortisol anxiety‼️. I recently added a 4 to 5 minute Tai Chi beginner workout and I am able to get up before 8 am and start my day. Years of muscle fatigue have made it impossible to tackling anything more taxing. Thank you for identifying a very debilitating roadblock that I didn’t even know was a thing.

I am currently trying to gain weight as well whilst battling the intense morning anxiety and nausea. Firstly, we just have to push through. It is not going to be easy. Im doing a quick morning walk, so I can burp and get all the gas out. Then have a light meal like a banana or avocado and ease myself into the day. I know it sounds easy. Its not. Also be kind to yourself and others. If you bash yourself calling yourself weak and questioning why this why that, it will make it worse. Wishing you the best.

Eating licorice 5 grams or more daily for several weeks can cause severe side effects including heart attack.

Your probably in an anxiety loop of worry. If you go down worrying about your problems your likely to begin waking up to them as well. It’s a nasty feeling I’m all too familiar with. Breaking the cycle of active worrying really helped. I literally had to force myself to focus on positive things before falling asleep. A nightly five minute gratitude practice followed by a 15 minute guided meditation really helped! Try it out. You’ve got nothing to lose. Also getting a good dose (5 to 10 minutes) of sunshine shortly after awakening really helps with our circadian rhythms. I like doing it while sitting or walking on grass for the added benefit of grounding. Something we all need more of as well.
