I feel so scared right now. This is the worst feeling ever!! I wake up feeling this way every morning. I have a doc appointment at 10 and I feel like Im gonna freak out and Im not even out of bed yet!!! This is so scary!!! I feel scared and weird every single morning as soon as I get up!!!! I dont understad why I feel this way. Thinking about leaving my house makes me nervous. I used to feel great when I woke up and start cleaning the house and getting stuff done. I dont feel like myself at all, I have this sense of being scared and out of it and I dont know why!!!!!!!!!

Hello!I just want you to know that I feel like that alot of mornings.I hate it too!I'm not sure what that feeling is and why it happens when we wake up.You'll be fine though.It always passes but I do understand that it scares you.Me too.I just try to float through it and don't dwell.I really do believe that we'll overcome all this when we really start believing in ourselves.We are stronger than this!I get nervous when I go to the Dr. too.Take your deep breaths and refocus.You'll be around alot of people who can help you there.This helps calm me down when I have to go.I hope everything goes well at your appt.Keep us posted.Take care we are here for you!

Hi Angela- I feel this way every morning as well. I find (and some of the book I've read on the subject suggest) that getting out of bed right away when you wake up is a good idea. Lying in bed with that scared feeling seems to make it accumulate. I'm agoraphobic and I have Social Anxiety Disorder..some other problems too not related to anxiety. Finding a good meditation in the early morning has helped me. Anyway, I'm hardly someone who can help you, since I'm likely 'sicker' than you are. I just know what you are going through and it touches my heart to hear it coming from someone else (other than myself). If I could, I'd make all the scared feelings and thoughts go away. I hope you have someone to accompany you to the doctor. I have an appointment coming up too that's a real source of anxiety, but keep telling yourself you are taking further steps towards helping yourself. Blessed be, danielle (flynnsmom)
