I have been going through a rough few months where i was anxious all day and i am finally getting it under control during the day and night, but every morning i wake up with this giant ball of panic in my gut. It feels like i cant breathe. It makes it so hard to get out of bed and start my day. Luckily i now know that it ebbs away by noon-ish. The rest of the day goes well now. 

Funny thing: if i wake up in the middle of the night… no panic, no stressball. It’s only in the morning after 6am. 

I know there is a hormone that is heightened in the morning but is there a way to help with that? Any tricks? Deep breathing works for a minute but then it comes back. I bike to work now, hoping the exercise would help but it doesnt. 

Ideas welcome.
