Hi Sandypaws, not sure why but it might be that the combination of the two meds is causing the tiredness, maybe you should let your GP know about your symptoms particularly as it is not relieving your morning anxiety?? My GP gave me propanolol (that works on adrenaline) for my morning symptoms and I find it quite useful. Hope you can feel a bit better soon, though I’m not sure how can we stop missing our soulmates…. Sending you a big hug

Oh Sandy,
anxiety is the worst nightmare to me every morning when I wake up from heavy dreams. This forum is much better than any pills. It’s a life savior…

Hi Bonnie, sorry to hear that! Not sure if you’ve tried this already or not? One thing I use to get back to sleep when I wake up too early is to put in low volume an audiobook - it seems weird but I was told that having a story going in the background at enough volume for you to follow but not loud, actuallt distracts some of the anxiety and helps to fall asleep. Also I will put a heatpad in the microwave and put it on my stomach as it has a calming effect. Hope you have a peaceful day

Sorry for your loss. I’m eight months after losing my lovely partner. That early morning anxiety is awful. If you’re on two medications and they’re not helping you maybe should ask your GP for a review. I’ve tried the breathing and grounding exercises but find they only work for a short period. I find that if something has annoyed me during the day the anxiety is worse.
My gardener didn’t turn up again so I’ve had to cut the grass myself but the hedges are too much. My partner always had the garden lovely. Now I feel I’ve let him down and I know that’s irrational, but I can’t help it. My sister is away for two weeks holiday and I miss her visits so I’m feeling lonely and vulnerable. Six months is still early grief, missing your partner is normal, you’d be a strange person if you didn’t. Our lives are just not the same anymore, This time last year all I was worrying about was my sore hip. I wish I could go back there and have all the misery that followed wiped out.

Dear Anita,
I agree. I’m often playing videos of a channel with advices how to ignore people who hurt. It’s playing while I’m falling asleep.

Hi Bonnie, I was wondering if you have been keeping up with your gym. I find that when I start feeling bad I do some exercise or a fast walk It always helps
All the best

Yes Brandon….in fact I went to the gym today. My partner and I both joined a couple of years ago. I’m so glad I’ve been able to carry on, on my own.
