If the anxiety didn't frighten us it wouldn't have an effect on us.  I know we should just accept it and it will pass, but that is so much easier said than done.

It is physical - how often can we ignore anything physical?

[jedigirl]

 Yes the horrible physical symptoms make it impossible to ignore, though some days are more manageable than others but I can get through the day with the knowledge in my mind that by teatime my brain fog will ease, my panicky feeling will calm and my tummy will at least let me eat something. If I didn't have that to aim for the day would be so much worse. A large bottle of liquid magnesium arrived today, going to try it for calming properties and aiding sleep. Fingers crossed! X

These posts on this thread talk of something that is so familiar to me.
That physical dread anxiety on waking, yuk
I have always been a fearful person but the meno anxiety just feels 'different' than psychological anxiety.
All emotions feel physical, because that is where the physical and non physical meet in the body sensations.

there's physical and horrid physical though …… I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a good belly laugh    ……….

Me too, I miss a belly laugh.
Also I cant sing a note when I am so anxious and depressed and I love singing.

I agree,  the anxiety is different to how it used to be.

I dread the mornings for anx reasons too - often awake and have that gut churning feeling in pit of stomach  & just feeling of dread ...Want to just go back under the duvet and sleep and awake feeling worry/fear free ...I often find the evenings easier for some reason, for some bizarre reason I feel safer, which is all psychological of course .....Oh to be young again and not have the fears and thoughts and negative stuff going on...

It is strange that in the evening you can feel much better. As though your subconscious has said 'well that's another day over, you can relax now'.

Yep - also we have probably eaten which we don't do overnight

All commitments done by the evening.  I did find when I was very ill making a list each evening meant that at least I had something to judge each day by - ticking off chores really helped see that I had achieved!
