whatdoido1717 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Wow, I woke up and immediately was sad about everything. It is like as soon as I opened my eyes my brain hit the on switch and now it won't stop all day. My head is already spinning, I want to crawl back in bed. I can't get myself ready for work, I am typing this instead.
Mov Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I feel that too friend, When we sleep our brain kinda switches off, the negative thoughts are suppressed, but when we wake up they all flood in straight away. Getting out of bed can be a challenge, but keep moving, keep busy, we all get over bad relationship splits, the worst thing about them is the immediate time after, people get used to life and adjust, just try to get past this stage and one day you will wake up and feel positive!! I'm not at that stage yet but i know it will happen.
Fufu Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I dragged mornings too when I was recovering.. However, every mornings I dragged, it got better because I began to gel in to the reality even more. Go Go Go, get ready for work, you can do it.
geegirl Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I used to remember the moment I opened my eyes, my heart would pound so hard I felt like my chest was going to explode. Then the thoughts, the reality, the sadness would all hit me at once. I would lay there and hate the sunshine, hate the birds singing, hate life, hate the start of a new day. I would just lay there and feel my heart pound and feel my tears roll down my face. It's a b**** to go through. Unfortunately there is no way around it. As my mom would always say, "When going through hell, keep walking." It sucks. You will feel this way for a while. Maybe a few weeks for the anxiety to slowly start subsiding. Let it come, let it sit within you and let it pass. The longer you lay in bed and feed your sorrow and feed your thoughts, the more you stay stuck and defeated. When you wake up tomorrow morning, the moment your eyes open, get your brain to say, "GET UP"...and get yourself up and get in the shower. Step by step. One little action at a time. Doesn't matter how slow you move, just move. The worse thing you can do is stay still and think. Mornings are hard. I feel your pain. Edited April 5, 2011 by geegirl
