Oh it’s horrible isn’t it. I was doing really well almost no anxiety then bam, now I’m back to full on anxiety and panic. Waking in the mornings is horrible like you say, the churning starts not long after opening your eyes.
It’s frustrating as hell, as the only thing I’m anxious about is being anxious and being scared like you say that it won’t go away!
One day at a time, being as kind to ourselves as we can is all we can do. It helps somewhat knowing I’m not alone, even though I wouldn’t wish this on anybody!
I have propranolol and a couple of diazepam but like you say nothing really helps when is has you gripped.
My gp has referred me for counselling as well, I’ll take anything I can get at the moment.
Sending hugs to all ????
