I really need to stop trying to figure things out in the morning. I get super anxious most mornings and then it feeds into it if I start ruminating on things I’m concerned about. I think I need to tell myself that mornings are off limits for trying to figure these things out. Usually after a few hours I start to settle down. Then maybe I can think a little more clearly about my concerns; if they are still worth thinking about. One thing that helps a little is having a bite or two of a protein bar right after I wake up. I think it settles my stomach. Any other tips for what to do when I wake up buzzing with anxiety?

I always feel the most anxiety and dread in the morning. That’s when I start overthinking a lot, and it becomes really hard not to seek reassurance on the internet and so on. What do you all do to ease the morning anxiety a bit?

I woke up feel so anxious right now again, how to help that feeling?

Hello everyone! I’m starting to recognize when my thoughts begin to spiral, when i’m seeking reassurance or checking. But I still have the sense of uneasiness and anxiety. I was wondering what others do that allow them to move forward with their day when they realize this? I don’t know if I’m making sense, but what are ways you pull the focus back to the present and yourself? Like besides saying “maybe or maybe not”, more like what do you do with yourself after you recognize the thoughts? I feel like I’m at a “now what?” and don’t know what to do with my anxious energy. I’m trying to find something physical to help me so if you also have any hobbies or interests that help I would love to hear it.
