I was on depression medication for a long time and then when I stopped my anxiety started to worsen. One of the things I struggle with most is morning anxiety. I wake up around 6 and panic about everything that there is, from everthing that I have to do during the day or exams, studies, anxiety itself, my mom's health, the exact steps how I will cook lunch or what to cook or what if I don't have the ability to cook at lunch time - basically irrational fear about everything which I could reason out if I was in my right mind. It is difficult to fall back asleep with heart palpitations and racing thoughts. I have never been an early riser. In the mornings, I just can't see the point in anything. It is always hard for me to get up from bed more so now because of the anxiety. I just want to stay there and try to sleep or distract myself probably feeling a false sense of security. Now I just dread mornings. I just don't know what to do.

Yes, exercise to lower my cortisol levels probably. But it is dificult to just get out of bed, just to sit upright.
