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??

Answer 1

Take a deep breath and stop sweating the small stuff..its all small stuff..You are young and if you keep this up you are going to have a heart attack..I don't know about the drugs..I never found any of them to help me other than when i get really anxious..I said slow down or you will have a heart attack..well actually that isnt really true..The doctors thought for a long time that it was..If you are under stress doing all of what you do yes you could have ..but if you love being stressed and doing what you do then it actually could be of benefit to you and make you live longer..But if the stress is getting to you .. change everything.. relax,take time off ...start thinking of plesant things and try to relax your body and mind every minute you can..i would ask the doctor about the meds..i just get a bad feeling from what you say you are taking and for what..See if they will give you an emergency tranquilizer only and get off that other stuff...but in any case just keep thinking dont sweat the small stuff its all small stuff.. and relax
