Why do i wake up like this EVERY day ?!?

Question

am 29, i have 3 kids & own with my fiance an electrical contracting co. I pretty much write my own schedule.

I wake up every single day rushing, running, feeling overwhelmed, stressing out, worring that im not going to get everything done today, and just in a bad mood.

I already take Lexapro and my Dr. prescrbed Xanax 5Mg. But i am not going to pop a xanax first thing in the morning or i really wont get everything done. Those are for me to calm down at night.

I dont know why I wake up like this every day !?!

Is this normal to feel like that when you first get up?

It takes me about 2 hours to get my stuff together it seems like. I spend so much time worrying about what ive got to get done that day.

What can i do & is this normal??

I take a 20Mg Lexapro everyday.
I am 5'7" and weigh about 140 pounds

Tablets are not always the answer, see if you can get some therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is brilliant. It teaches you how to get those unproductive feelings under control. It worked for me when I was dosed up to the eyeballs on meds and still feeling bad. You can get it privately or on the NHS if you doctor considers that you have clinical need;
