@FullhealingThank you ,maybe my body is relaxing a bit more and letting go hence the crying . How are you ?

Are you feeling a little better now? for me it usually releases energy and pent-up emotions and then I feel drained in a good way, I hope it's the same for you!

And I'm a bit rocking atm but it'll pass, thanks for asking.

This is total sadness and crying since waking up 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyone else had this upon awakening? 

As @Luke has said, VERY common. It normally lifts as the day goes on. Cortisol spiking first thing. Hope it eases as the day passes @Beehive

@ChippyThank you ,hope today is a good day for you 

@FullhealingYes after the cry I felt better like a release.  Wishing you a better day 🙏 may you surf those waves with ease then stand firm on the shore.  Stay strong you've got this 🤗

Glad it’s eased a little. Good work on the coping skills. Such a trooper. Hope tomorrow is easier. X

How you doing? @Beehive are you feeling better? 🙏

Thanks for popping by ....strange how this all works was feeling activated for most of the day yesterday went to bed at 8.45 just to sit there .Like a switch it all disappeared, so definitely chemically driven . Slept ok, woke with anxiety in chest and stomach lasted until about 10.00 when I was taken out by two friends for coffee.  Was fine then whole time . Came home back comes the tight chest and anxious stomach . Does it not really go away 🤔 just notice it more when we have nothing to occupy ourselves?

Makes perfect sense, withdrawal brain thrives on inactivity and activates every part of the body..

Sorry to hear you woke up with cortisol bost, I hate when it happens but very pleased you had good friends time outside, social life like any other distractions are such a blessing when it's possible.

Maybe distraction at home or going for a short walk can help with the anxious feeling now? I think I'm going for it myself, short walks almost always do that trick for me.

Hello @Beehive, I do not know whether I have already written on your thread, but I have been reading a lot of your lovely posts.

I have had this experience a lot. Isn’t it amazing? My theory is that the brain understands that sometimes it has to interrupt its construction work and give us some space. I had this, for example when I had visitors, when I go out to meet a friend or when I had to do something really difficult and stressful at work. Suddenly, I had the strength and clarity to do it. And afterwards the symptoms came back. 
I still think I cannot “socialize or work away” my symptoms. We have to manage our energy levels. 
but it is a fascinating experience, isn’t it?

It certainly is ,I'm wondering are we giving it too much attention, are we getting distracted by it . I know from experience I can be full of symptons but something needs my urgent attention ..in that time I focus on what I need to do without a thought for how I feel and when the event is over its like ok symptoms you have my full attention again 🤷🏻‍♀️

reading a lot of your lovely posts.

 

@Nemina Thank you for your kind words

Well strange you should ask that now as I was doing fine up until my Coffee Machine wouldn't work so started getting a bit anxious as we do when things don't work . Ended up changing the fuse and it works now but has left me with either adrenaline / cortisol rushes with a very foggy head and extremely blurry vision and feels like someone is pressing down on the top of my head feel hazy  kindof disorientated...apart from that absolutely fine 😂 How's you today 🤗

When things go 'wrong' I get the same @Beehive. The adrenalin/ cortisol rush. I wish I could cry and release too. 

 

Thanks for checking in on me on my page. 

 

Love your comment on LIC's thread. 

Pop in the see how are you doing dear beehive, any better? 

@FullhealingHello 😁...I'm not too bad atm my main thing seems to be the tight / heavy chest ,which seems to trigger the emergency alarm sending out a signal of panic stations! .its just a tight chest ! But it certainly is triggering ! It will fade as the day goes on and I will wonder what all the fuss was about.  I do have quite a few hours of feeling great but obviously from this reaction I am still very sensitised. I overreact when I'm like this the smallest thing will irritate me I get snappy and easily stressed. Those chemicals have been busy in the laboratory 😁.another day closer to that finish line . Wishing you well today it saddens me you are in such turmoil 😥

You seem to be already recognizing your symptoms patterns and not getting too excited, they are still there yes but the grip seems to be loosening, that's great, well done on excellent job of acceptance!

Yes, we are getting closer every day!! it's certainly more bearable with the wonderful support here, I'm very grateful.

Hope the rest your will fade for you as the day goes on! keep up the great work 💪

Thank you ,such wonderful people on here who are going through their own suffering yet can reach a hand out to support someone else ! ❤️

To coin a phrase I have just read on @j1290 thread ..I have woken with super turbo chemical anxiety had it most of yesterday evening and first part of the night . Have to say I'm not the best at getting through this or accepting it ! Hoping it will run out of steam ! All the negative thoughts spinning round my head ,unable to access the front rational brain definitely the emotional one in charge !
