mornings

[dottie]

what are you like during the morning when you first wake up?
...during later morning?
do you consider yourself a morning person?

when i wake up in the morning i always feel SO ANGRY if anyone even so much as talks to me. it is totally irrational and fucked up but... it's like i can't control it. i feel so sensitive to sound and energy. it's like it is so invasive to me that i am filled with rage. it feels like an uncontrollable physiological reaction almost. i HATE being around people in the morning (i hate being around people always, actually, but it's waaaay more amplified right when i wake up). if i hear someone's voice it fills me with this rage, anger, hatred. my family basically has learned to just stay the hell away because i'm a total bitch. i don't want to be that way but the feelings of rage are so intense that i can act no other way. usually, i hide away and try to have as little human contact as possible (cats accepted) that way they don't have to deal with me and i don't have to deal with them.

if someone or something interrupts my sleep that REALLY pisses me off like nothing else. rage. sleep is precious to me. it is the only time i can NOT be anxious.

later morning i still do not want to be around people at all. i do not feel fully awake until about 1pm. am i a morning person? hah. hahahahahah. i just posted this because i am curious if it is common for people with anxiety to experience a morning rage due to feeling extra sensitive to sound/smells/etc.

Perhaps you're just a grouch in the morning?
I'm not like that in the morning, usually too lazy and tired to give a crap.
But some people in my family are definitely like that - well, come to think of it, both females of my family are like that every morning. Grouchy![/i]

When I first wake up, I feel like a zombie. I lay in bed for awhile until I get bored. I usually don't sleep well at nights. I sleep better during the say. *shrugs* I am sensitive to loud sounds and the telephone until a few hours later. I haven't had any smells that bother me.

Late mornings aren't too bad. I mainly watch a movie at this time. It gets my mind off things and after the movie, I sometimes get motivated to clean.

I'm not a morning person at all. I hate mornings. I'm much like you that I get angry and I argue. People know better than to talk to me until I talk to them first.

If people wake me up, I get so angry I flip out. The only time I don't mind being woken up is from my dog if she has to go outside. Anxiety usually doesn't bother me at night and sleep is also precious to me. Luckily, I only live with my dad and he now knows when he can talk to me. At times, he likes to bother me in the morning just to irritate me and it works. He's a coal miner and he changes shifts every week. I usually change my sleep schedule around his schedule. When he's home, I'm usually sleeping. Since I don't have a schedule to work around, I sleep when I want.

So you're definitely not the only one getting angry.

I don't like talking much in the morning if at all. Once i've had a shower it's a bit better.

I am not a morning person at all either. Sometimes I get extra sensitive and angry for no reason. It doesn't usually last that long. I can definitely relate to not wanting my sleep disturbed because its a time when I have piece of mind with no worries.

Generally I'm not a morning person either. I have been trying to get up at 7am every day, since I have to do that for school which I have twice a week. There'll be a period of a week at a time where I'm really good and energetic in the morning, and then there's other times where I just feel lethargic and its feels impossible to get anything done. In terms of being a grouch, I find that more and more, I'm getting into fights with my parents. A lot of it I'm sure is just wanting to grow up and get out of living at home (I'm 20 and have FINALLY applied for a college and a university). I just get SO worked up and irritable whenever I'm told "its time for bed" or "clean up this". I often feel like I HATE it when there's people around. I would love to just live on my own for a while, it would be so much more relaxing. I find that watching tv to escape for a while is nice, when I'm feeling lazy in the morning. What works even better, if I'm in the mood, is doing dishes or laundry. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something lol.

I'm definitely not a morning person either, and it takes me a good while to wake up properly. More often than not, I don't feel as if I've got going until the afternoon.

Having plenty of sleep is really valuable to me. I wish others could appreciate how much of an important role it plays in determining my mood/ anxiety level.

I'm not a morning person :lol: Lets say, on weekends I sleep till 4 pm even if I go to bed early But if I have to go to school and wake up at 6 am - stay out of my way :evil: :lol:

 

[Carstuar]

I just woke up at 6AM with no alarm clock. I feel okay, but a little groggy.

 

[Psychedelicious]

Whenever I am wake up I always feel really energized and the morning is my favorite time of the day. I always feel great until I go to school, and then as the day goes by I just tired of the day and want it to be over. I never actually feel really tired. It's weird.

 

[xSleepy]

Well it depends. Im not a waking up person. I just hate having to get up and start moving, its annoying.

And I usually dont wake up till after 12pm. When I sleep a good 8 to 9 hours I usually always feel refreashed. No matter what time i wake up.
But when I dont get enough sleep im totally out of it when I wake up.

But im never angry or grouchy. I might be a little whinny. Like ill say... godddd shuuuuUuutt Uuuuuuppppp. After I wake up I become "normal" after like 30 minutes.

 

[scorpion]

I have terrible humour in the morning.

Its best if nobody crosses my way.

I can only gain my good mood in a couple of hours. :lol:

 

[Argamemnon]

I feel absolutely horrible in the morning.

I'm very much the same as you in the morning, especially on a Monday morning! The sound of my alarm clock enrages me. Having to leave my warm nest of a bed and blissful unconsciousness behind in order to start the frantic, pointless activities of the day sends me into a fury. It's lucky my guy's always asleep at that time of morning, or he'd get the sharp end of my tongue most days and we'd end up falling out over trivial shit. Like you though, I'm fine with having my cat around, even when he's yowling for his breakfast and trying to trip me up when I walk downstairs, lol :wink:

I totally get what you mean by everything feeling invasive to you. It's all too light and loud and cold and fast-paced... I feel like a baby being born and forced out of the warm comfortable womb into a noisy, scary world! 8O I have to fight an almost overwhelming urge to roll over and slip back into my dreams every morning when I wake up. I keep getting into trouble at work for being late in the mornings, but I just can't deal with that horrible time of day.

I often wish that someone would come in and jump on my bed in the morning. I wake up and the first thing I want to do is go outside and play or if my chakra reserves are low, sit outside sipping coffee while watching the sunrise.

Whenever I am wake up I always feel really energized and the morning is my favorite time of the day. I always feel great until I go to school, and then as the day goes by I just tired of the day and want it to be over. I never actually feel really tired. It's weird.

exactly the same for me
I don't even get nearly enough sleep

 

[MotherWolff]

To be honest, I'm not too sure which part of the day works best for me. But I can definitely say that I like mornings better now than I did when I was forced to attend school(or anywhere else with lots of humans). I generally feel a bit more lazy in the morning than I do throughout the rest of the day. I think its because I'm nocturnal right now since I'm unemployed and have no important responsibilities. :wink: I seem to sleep best in the mornings than I do at night. I also find sleep to be precious, especially if I'm having a very intoxicating dream. I could understand why anyone would become angry after being woken up during a good rest. Perhaps people have morning rage because they're consciousness is resurrected from peaceful sleep and is forcefully placed back into this fast-paced, problem-filled realm we call Earth.
