I’ve suffered from anxiety for about 4 years now. The past few months I’ve been very stressed with work, personal relationships, and life in general. 

Every morning my internal alarm goes off at 6 AM. There are many 5 seconds of feeling normal until my hearts starts racing, my palms become sweaty, I have to poop, I am nauseous. 

I race to the shower and put a wash cloth over my head to help meditate and focus on my breathing. This will last about 1 hr or 1.5 if I fall asleep. 

Regardless this is so unhealthy and I’m staying up late at night because I don’t want to wake up anxious but I think it’s making it worse?

My appetite is almost non-existent. I will be able to eat around 3-4 and everything is okay after that. 

Any advice is greatly appreciated since I don’t want to continue doing this day after day.
