Morning's are the worst

[[co...]]

11 months now. Hard to believe I'm still having toxic mornings. I wake up and literally every single morning for as long as I can remember now my anxiety and depression is through the roof; then the despair and hopelessness sets in. How do you move forward with this symptom? Does it ever go away? Is it me now or is this really withdrawal - I'm starting to not believe the latter anymore. It seems like it's just getting worse or the fact that it's not getting better is making it worse. Like my brain is now rewired to do this indefinitely every single morning. I am basically scared to go to bed at night now because I just don't have any fight left for this every morning. I don't know what to do anymore...

 

Did anyone else experience this at and / or after 11 months and all of a sudden it passed or went away?

I am 14 months and mornings are not great, but the really toxic mornings seem to have faded away.

 

My memory is still terrible and I am in a bit of a fog, but it is almost as if they just disappeared one day.

 

So don't go to sleep fearing the morning, go to sleep with the hope that one day very soon you will heal.

 

I found the best way to cut through toxic mornings is get up, get out of bed, make some green tea, make a nice breakfast, and get moving. They more I lay around the worse it gets.

 

Keep fighting because if you fight now, when you heal, you will be a warrior.

I'm only a month ahead of you and the anxiety for me got a lot worse around 10 months off and I'm still getting regular morning anxiety rushes throughout my body - the legs are particularly bad. I make it to the couch and then the depression and hopelessness and I can get stuck there for a bit but like you if I force myself into action shower and dress and out then it lifts usually but not always and I'm distracted away from it.

 

I'm guessing this symptom will fade out again like some of the others. Before 10 months off I don't remember the anxiety being so bad past acute.

 

Keep going, you'll get through it.

Mornings are terrifying for me. I have never experienced depression like this. Reading that others felt the same way and recovered helps tremendously. Thank you.
