Every morning I wake up...

[sdarren40]

I wake up feeling like I'm about to have a heart attack...I fear going to sleep because I dread waking up to that horrible, sickening feeling.

 

I'm desperate to make it go away

I felt that way for a few weeks after my breakup. There were days when I'd wake up at 7 and lay in bed till 11. It was pathetic. Days when I did get up I'd try to force breakfast down but snd up throwing it up. It will get better. One thing that helped me is getting a new coffee maker with a timer so I could set it for when I wanted to be up and wake up to the smell of fresh coffee.

I had a similar feeling about 6 months ago. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Klonopin. I know prescription medication isn't for everyone - you could also try going to your local Henry's or Jimbos and see if they have any natural anti-anxiety reliefs.

 

Eventually you'll have to deal with the emotions that are causing that anxiety. Personally for me I found it helpful to have a "backup" in case things got scary. I use to wake up in tears and felt like I was going to throw up when thinking I had to get out a bed, it's no fun. But it will pass.

this to shall pass... I suspect your break up is in the early phases of the gambit of emotions. This is something will have to be strong and work through soon you will wake up and want to kill her/him, and that you will have to work passed. In time you will see the end of the tunnel, I miss my ex but i know that the person that I fell in ove with is either died or never was to begin with. Just keep posting on LS and you will work threw it in time.....

My sympathies, I am exactly the same. I wake up and within a second I realise he is gone and I feel sick, which lasts all day. I cannot eat and have lost 28lb in 8 weeks. I can barely function but I have to get myself and child to school. I am taking anti-depressants and they must have helped plus having therapy. I hope it gets better for you sooner than it has for me xx

Thanks so much for posting that, I woke up feeling the same way today. How long ago did you break up? Write more and get more support on here - it helps you feel better. We are all in the same boat together.

Sorry for what you're going through, it will get better with time. I felt the same way a couple days after my breakup and a week or so later, felt better, then had a relapse...so just realize it's going to be a rollarcoaster ride for a little while. What helps me is to write about it. I write on here and I'm now keeping a journal. I look back now and said dang, i should not have broken NC because it was doing good (eventhough I was suffering)...20 days...and now it set me back, but I feel a little better. Hope you get through it.

I remember those days, ugh. I still get like that a couple of days a month. I remember the first week, oh my oh my. I still made it to work but I would open my eyes hug my pillow and let it soak up as many tears as possible for the rest of the day. I'd take breaks at work, go to the restroom and just pray and cry. Then after night classes i'd drive home and play my music and just cry some more. Gotta let the toxins out.

 

I know this is not for everyone, but what helped me through the pain (and continues) is praying and asking my creator to strengthen me, and even if it hurts to help me understand and accept it.

 

I still have my moments, if you go check my posts you'll see my grieving roller-coaster.I've been feeling yukky these past few days, my hormones are playing tricks on me, he-he...but at least I can laugh about it a bit.

 

We will get through it.
