❤the word anxiety means the presence of fear in the absence of danger.
As someone who deals with anxiety disorder, I agree with you. It is just cortisol waking us up. Sometimes, these hormones can act up and we feel more symptoms that we should. As my favourite doctor in anxiety disordes field, dr Claire Weekes, said: It's just an electrical discharge. And she also suggested that we get up from the bed as soon as we wake up and don't ruminate and catastrofise. Anxiety symptoms are unpleasant but not dangerous. I know all of this, lived through so many panic attacks but still have some days with very high anxiety and restlessness. And since my biggest problem is still dizziness - fear. When I do, I get dishearted. I have still much to do on that attitude of self criticism and making my brain feel safe because fear, danger sygnal precisely is in the core of everything.
Thank you for sharing your experience Daniela. Really love your insight and commitment to yourself.
I love Dr. Weekes -there is a new biography out about her -“The Woman Who Cracked the Anxiety Code.”
I renamed my anxiety disorder as a practice opportunity to give up perfectionism.
@@wednesdayschild3627 Love this! : )
My biggest problem is 24/7 dizziness also right now x
Morning anxiety can almost be like its own condition. Some of us feel awful in waking.. and yet better as the day goes on. Dan is right, it’s a mental and physiological process. Who knows why some of us get more than others. But those who experience it at high levels recognize how hard it can be. He’s also right... allowing it to be there and burn off as we tend to our day is the only way through. Over time it gets better as the sensitization in the body lessens. But it’s a process. Shout out to those who deal with it.... it will get better. Stay patient and don’t let the narratives of the brain in the morning dictate your day. Keep living and moving through that temporary storm and peace will come.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on this. Very helpful.
I'm finding that the more I am indifferent and push with doing everyday things..the less anxiety I get. I was doing great for a while then past week I had anxiety about anxiety. Slowly coming out of it. It's a process. Its different then having anxiety about pain because when the pain goes so does the anxiety. When you have anxiety as the symptom and have anxiety about it, you feel abit lost
YES, VERY HELPFUL AND THANKS FOR POSTING@@PainFreeYou
It's like a cycle. I can go for weeks with no morning anxiety. Then it can come back for a few weeks. But the knowledge that getting up and doing stuff helps and it will calm down and f**k off eventually helps 😂😁👍
Speaking from a point of at my worst being stuck in an extreme anxiety panic attack state for about a year solid.
That darn subconscience --gotta talk to that brain of mine. I have been having anxiety the past seven years--I cut out sugar and coffee--(although I love coffee). That morning deep breath and a smile is the way to start my day. And yes-this sounds like the pain stuff, thank you Dan.

This is me every morning as soon as I’m awake anxiety hits like a train then panic attacks follow
It’s horrible
Another morning of shaking and anxiety. Waking at 4am. Since April. Have had a rough 3 years of stress and loss. But Whatever the reasons, I am so weary of it. I just listened to your talk here and I totally agree with all you say and the fact that you have kept it so simple and understandable, but I have googled myself into oblivion and fear about my mental and physical reactions to it all. Running to the doctor for different ailments. All the things I should be doing or have to do to be “normal”. Things I have to eat or drink to be normal. All To control my anxiety. I try to breathe, try to tell my brain I am safe and try to push the unknown fears I have into the background, nothing seems to help. I feel pretty hopeless. I see other talks from you that I want to listen to on CZcams. You make more sense to me than anything I have found so far. Uncomplicated. Thank you for being there.
My pleasure Karen. You are in the right place. My getting started page can help you understand things better: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
This is very useful. I wake up in the morning flooded with feelings of panic and anxiety, even before I have started to think. The idea of managing these symptoms much as I do pain is a huge relief.
Watch the video again. Know that the anxiety is likely just the subconscious brain going "oh no, another day, more pain, how bad is today going to be?" and the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol flooding into the bloodstream. Understanding that nothing dangerous is happening and taking steps to relax, breathe, soothe and move on with your day will greatly help.
Covid times with lockdown have caused alot of hardships. We need to support each other through these times.
For sure.
WE ALL NEED CONSTANT ENCOURAGEMENT@@PainFreeYou

I feel like my morning anxiety is energy I’ve conditioned to be anxiety. I’ve been trying to tell myself that this is “morning excitement” so hopefully that will trick the brain.
Excellent trick! Reframing what you feel sends a powerful message to the subconscious mind.
Your videos are freakily spot on with what I need/I’m feeling every day ! Thank you
I Freakily pay attention to what the community is talking about. Never ending stream of topics come from the comments here and on Facebook.
I've noticed theres different forms of anxiety and panic. Life situations where you react to things like relationship issues or work issues yadda. another form is an alarm, body telling you something is wrong or is too sensitive because of a life events and needs to be recalibrated by letting the body mind limbic system know that you are safe.
Absolutely correct. The one thing that remains in our control is how we choose to respond to it.
I thought I was the only one who had this. Every morning I feel it. It does get better but my mind is always spinning about what could go wrong. That doesn't help the anxiety.
Good video!!!! I attended a 3 principles anxiety course almost 2 years ago. It helped me to a point. The spot where I got stuck was when I would wake up super anxious before my mind started having thoughts. I found out it was my cortisol levels. I started practicing mindfulness before bed. It helped me. It’s not 100% gone but now I just remind myself it will pass. It’s just my body producing too much cortisol. Thanks for this video!!! 💗
You are very welcome.
I've been waking up feeling anxious quite frequently for about a year or two. I've found if I get up and think about and try to think my way out, that doesn't work. If I get moving some way as soon as possible that seems to help burn off the stress hormones and I feel more relaxed. Thanks for another good one, Dan!
Sure, it's all about perspective. "Anxiety...not dangerous...". However, I have been fearful of everything my entire life. Been learning, recently, to view anxiety and stress differently. (Liking the 'smile' technique). Also like the tip from comments to get out of bed immediately and start using calming skills.
OMG !! I can relate to this video 100% It's a Crappy way to start your day !! For me ?? Its Every Frickin Day !! Lol.. yes what would I do without the internet.. I Appreciate your posts So Much..Thanks Dan
You are very welcome. Safety is the way. czcams.com/video/Ez9Ez49M8Ig/video.html
I just substituted migraine for anxiousness - it helps! I wake ip in the morning and migraine is what comes up instead of anxiety. Thanks for this one !
Glad it helped. The best solution upon waking? Create safety: czcams.com/video/Ez9Ez49M8Ig/video.html
You must also be a mind reader. I woke up the past couple of days with this queasy feeling in my gut, feeling anxious. Have had this in the past, but have been free of them for awhile. Then I saw the topic of you discussion today and couldn’t believe my luck of topic picks. Thanks as always. Added insight provides me with more understanding of my TMS equivalents, and the willingness to just work through it with indifference, and continue pushing forward with my daily routines and chores.
Really glad I showed up at just the right time. :-)
Another brilliant video dan felt so crappy last couple of days and really bad symptoms this morning but i thought i can sit here all day overthinking and making myself worse or i can get up and do something so I did I walked into town with my daughter we had lunch had a lovely afternoon and guess what both anxiety and symptoms went so my point is only i can change this this is my brain and i can and will make it better 🥰
Beautiful example of doing more from a place of safety and seeing results. Love it.
@@PainFreeYou your videos are helping me tremendously have learnt so much from you and steady coach in a much better place then I have been in years thank you 😊
@@marydundon Love to hear it Mary. If you ever would like to share your success story, you can get on my calendar here: TalkWithDan.com
@@PainFreeYou not quite success yet Dan some days are up and down still at the very start of it only learning all this for the last 2 months after 8 years of 24/7 symptoms it is taking the brain that bit longer to accept these sensations are safe still have moments where I freak out but knowing that it can come and go is a relief as I know then it won't be like this forever but would love to do a success story when I get there thank you
@@marydundon Wonderful. Keep watching. Keep implementing. You'll get there.
I wake up with fast heart beating because I think of my symptoms as soon as my eyes open
And when you become aware of yourself doing that, make the decision to soothe and calm yourself.
I’ve just recently found your channel and it’s been so helpful. This video popped up today. Exactly what I needed! And seeing all the comments helps me feel less alone with this morning anxiety. Thank you for your videos. On days when I feel down, you give me hope. ❤
Exactly you nailed it it happens to me every day and I do what you say in this video breath calm myself forget to smile won't forget to smile anymore I hope and yes it is, an axcious day..
SUPER! I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS.❤. I needed it big time. This is a super treatment of the whole topic of anxiety. I basically have a good life but feel like I'm being hassled all the time. This puts things in perspective and I think it's going to help me stop beating myself up because I feel anxious in the morning
Since I was 9 years old...I've had few breaks through the years but it's been a nightmare most of my life..
I'm sorry you have dealt with this for so long. Anxiety, in my personal opinion, is a state of being created by a brain perceiving danger. The simple solution is TEACHING the brain that we are actually safe. Step one, deciding that the anxiety itself, while uncomfortable, is not dangerous.
My fast start playlist is a great place to begin:

What a totally Common Sense approach to a problem I've had for some time! Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Walked extra long in the dunes Daniel loved it and so did I don't care about my symptoms anymore and while I was walking talked a lot to my brain
Thanks Dan. I've been having this for the past few days. I am glad I watched this as now I can try to respond with the same approach as with the pain. This is very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
What do we shift our attention to? I am having a hard time going back and forth between anxiety and my symptoms. It's a cycle. I can try to fill my day with activities to distract (laundry or whatever around the house that I have to get done) but its so exhausting. and while I am doing them I am having the overwhelming symptoms - tingling, tiredness, digestive issues, ahhhh. Sorry if this is kind of like a vent. I really need help shifting away from this. What can we think about instead and how.
Here's a good thought exercise. What would you do if you didn't have symptoms at all? You'd live life. Do THAT.
yes helpful. I have that morning anxiety and I mostly do what you said but will do it even more now.
Very helpful thanks Dan
Glad it was helpful!
I’m struggling really badly with anxiety Thankyou for sharing
The same concepts I teach for pain or other symptoms work for Anxiety too. Check out my Getting Started page: www.PainFreeYou.com/start
Another excellent video. I have had general anxiety all my life. And you are just helping me to look at it in another way, a unique way. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
My pleasure.
I once read that Henry Fonda, who was an experienced and talented actor, threw up every time he had to go on stage because of his anxiety.
Many that had to perform on stage did. More proof that emotional events/fear can cause physical events. (vomiting)
This post made me laugh at myself-and that’s good therapy! Thank you.
Laughter is always good - even if at ourselves. :-)
Thank you. This video was very helpful to me.
Glad it was helpful!
@@PainFreeYou I took notes.
Thank you so much 😊 Makes complete sense 💯 Happy to have discovered this gem of a U Tube Channel 🙏🏽♥️😊 Love it!! Namaste
You are so welcome. Welcome!!!
@@PainFreeYou Thank you 😊
Wow, haven’t thought about that. I’ll definitely try it, thanks. A problem I deal with when morning anxiety is extreme is that I get confused and paralyzed by my thoughts and feelings and can’t get anything done. Any suggestions ?
Yes, you don't have to believe your thoughts. czcams.com/video/A6Z6KO7b0lE/video.html
What if it wakes you up in the middle of the night and you are not ready to start your day?
Morning, noon, day, afternoon, evening , night and late night anxiety!! I know must lower my fear, focus and anxiety, but being in pain 24/7, makes it so difficult.
I'm making all the mistakes of the book!
Hope to achieve your advice about choosing my reaction, and being indifferent! Hard to go on with my day, being housebound and bedridden!
So far, im the TMS´s b#tch!! Sorry for my french!
Given pain that severe, the best thing you can do is choose your response to the pain. Spend some time visualizing yourself getting well. You are likely already using visualization each and every day. Unfortunately, you may be visualizing yourself NOT getting well. Change the movie you watch in your head and spend time each day visualizing yourself doing well, getting out of bed, out of the house and getting back into life. Baby steps will still get you walking again.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you so much for taking the time to write me!!
Thanks, as well, for your kind and compassionate words, they meant so much to me!
You are totally right, so far visualization has been very difficult for me.
As soon as i try to picture myself healthy, doing activities being pain free, (even just walking around the house), i stop because i can't believe it.
It looks so far to be pain free, that my brain, or myself, rejects the exercise!
As you kindly advised me, i must be more disciplined and keep trying to visualize myself doing well!
Again, i deeply appreciate your words!
Send you my best wishes!
I get all over nerve pain in the morning, making me fear getting out of bed. Even if I do get up and take a shower, the pain is still there in a different place.
Thanks a lot
Brilliant and helpful, thankyou ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this talk!
You are welcome.
This is excellent. Thank you so much.
Yes indeed!
Clear Dan, thanks!👍
No problem 👍
I find this very helpful! Thank you!
You are very welcome.
My problem is getting stuck in my head. When I'm in there too long I forget how to get out.
We don't have to take our thoughts so seriously.
Very useful
Glad you think so!
❤️🙏 thank you Dan
Very helpful, thanks Dan!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have health anxiety and it’s so bad in the mornings..really don’t know what to do..been suffering from fear,anxiety and depression since 2004..
It's awful. I have been going through it for a few years, but more intensely the past year and a half. Sending prayers!!
This SUX!!
Been suffering for 7 months & miserable 😩
I have to exhausting dreams in the morning before i wake up - nightmares or stressful dreams and i wake up anxious and vatigied. Past for months i have suffered this. Need swwet dreams dreams of peace & safety to eake up refreshed - over active brain in the morning
While we cannot control our dreams, we can influence our overall sense of wellbeing with consistent messages of safety while awake. czcams.com/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/video.html
@@PainFreeYou okay I will check it out.
I’ve been trying to get over anxiety my whole life. I get up and go to work and get on with life the best I can. It just lurks making me feel uncomfortable all day every day. I know i must be doing something wrong because I follow all your advice and have done for years but somehow im not winning. I do have a lot of responsibilities with kid’s grandkids work etc but that’s normal everyday life right? So what is wrong with me with all the knowledge and stuff I implement. Still as strong ax ever with the anxiety and im now 56 . Love your videos by the way Dan x
I wonder what would happen if you stopped judging that your experience is wrong in some way. Perhaps it's not the anxiety that is the challenge, but how you perceive it. You're not broken. You just think you are. Anxiety is not dangerous. It's not pleasant, but also not dangerous.
This video goes for anxiety too. czcams.com/video/qlO-1e3BWb4/video.html
Thanks Dan x
Maybe you need to delegate some responsibilities and spend time doing something fun and enjoyable each week for yourself. we all need to be easier on ourselves, have compassion for ourselves and take time to relax and enjoy life.
Yes that's right bin there. Don't think good men helps people with their own lives. Thanks 🇬🇧❤️🧙♀️ from Lancashire England UK pendle witches country
I had an adverse reaction to antibiotics. It has really screwed up my nervous system. Terrible anxiety, pain, depression, about 50 others symptoms. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now . In your opinion, will this approach you talk about help me recover for what appears to be a chemical reaction ?
If you stopped the antibiotics, they are likely out of your system now, so the adverse reaction should stop too. Have your doctor confirm that. In my opinion (not medical advice), Fear and freak out and focus on the symptoms may be what is keeping the nervous system symptoms going. Apply the general TMS approach. Decide that your body has already eliminated the antibiotics and that the rest of what is going on is purely learned and perpetuated by fear.
If your doctor has assured you there is nothing dangerous going on that requires medical intervention, then there is no downside to my suggestions for TMS that intentionally calm, relax and teach the brain there is no danger any longer. czcams.com/video/3vJgBnrhFt8/video.html
The reaction to the meds was likely just a trigger. Meaning... if it wasn’t that it would have been something else. Imo... the body gets cranked up and eventually we hit a trigger that releases it all. Sounds to me like that’s what happened. Happened to me too. The trick is not to get stuck or buy into the mental narratives about it.
Do you have any food sensitivity that just started?
@@mindful__gardener Just starchy food rev me up real bad. I don’t dare eat any sugar or caffeine.
@@PainFreeYou It’s actually a very common occurrence. There are communities just like the pain community where people discuss their situations. After reading these forums for awhile I’ve noticed that the recovery timeframes are all over the place with some people taking a year to recover and some people taking 7 years for partial recovery. You find this same situation in medication withdrawal boards. I can’t help but to wonder if all these scenarios are tied together with what you’re talking about.
I have a question about mouth issues and TMS. How does anxiety relate to thrush, yeast infection issues, dry mouth (and eyes) and dental problems.
Well, when we are in the stress (fight or flight) response, digestion and immunity are suppressed. Digestion includes saliva production which seems very involved in your symptoms. This video speaks to stress. czcams.com/video/QOYFupIdXwg/video.html
Plain yogurt, held in the mouth for a minute or so, a few times a day, then expelled is a quick way to get rid of oral thrush. You'll see a visible change by the first day, only takes a few.
My parents thought emotions were problems to be solved, god bless them. I am not buying into it.
All too common.
My morning anxiety won’t go even if I try to understand it. I just feel I want to go back to bed !! I can’t seem to get motivated to move . What do I need??
Start by changing the definition of anxiety. It's not a new problem to solve. Trying to get it to go is resistance which will cause it to stay. Indifference to the anxiety is something to try. Do your best to not care if you are anxious. It will pass when you stop trying to push it away. Allow it. Accept it. Even try to make it worse. But then engage your brain in something else. Anything else.
Maybe this is why the first thing I want to do in the morning is brush my teeth!
Well, anxiety or not, that's often my first thing too. LOL
@@PainFreeYou lol me too!! 😁
"meh, no big deal".... haha spoken by someone who has never had a panic attack i'm sure lol panic attacks may be a totally physical thing, but i'll tell you something for free, panic attacks CHANGE YOUR THINKING into completely insane things!! and if panic attacks are chronic, they wear down your soul to a nub
I have not had a panic attack, you are correct. But I watched my dad have many. Once he got the message that he wasn't dying and that they wouldn't hurt him, they stopped and didn't come back. It's the FEAR that keeps them going. Have you tried to face them and say "bring it on - make it worse"?
I had awful panic attacks after my daughter was born 9 years ago, numerous times a day I felt like I would pass out and leave my baby there with me out cold, my mum was having to come help me most days, they ruined my life. One day as it started I strapped my baby into her seat so I knew she was safe, sat on the floor and said out loud “F#*k it, do your worst, make me faint, I don’t care anymore, do your worst” and I really didn’t care at that point - and nothing happened. From that moment on they gradually got shorter, less intense and less frequent, I haven’t had one for about 8.5 years. They are scary, I totally understand how you feel but they can go once you really believe you don’t care how they make you feel anymore x
@@PainFreeYou i didn't have that ability, to say 'do your worst'... because it was a spiritual problem with me and you don't want to 'mess with' that sort of thing
@@michellefowler1946 Thank you for sharing your experience with this. Love it.
@@elaineremains so how do you come out?
Its horrible , omg , yuck
Start to implement some of the concepts shared in this video. I know it's unpleasant, but it's not harmful. Nothing dangerous is going on. You can do this.
this video is not really helpful
