Hi Scared1956,
That's tough. I also have anxiety (GAD), and in the mornings my mind sometimes tells me a whole lot of junk really fast. Some of those thoughts can be like: you're going to have the worst day, no one will like you today, you're not good enough, you're not attractive enough, you're not making the right choices, you're going to crash your car.
I also hate the feeling of waking up all anxious. I agree with quirkywords idea about deep breathing. I try to be grounded before I get up. I also show myself some love, especially if I had any scary dreams, by just giving myself a hug and saying it will be OK.
Sometimes I think anxiety has to do with physical health. For example, not eating regularly or getting enough sleep or exercise can make your thoughts go faster. But then there is no easy answer. Can I ask if there's something that has been going on for you recently that might be triggering?
Sometimes anxiety just has no reason, and when that happens I really hold onto the belief that thoughts are just thoughts, and they do not have to have power over you. The last thing that really helps me is accepting the anxiety and accepting myself. It's not fair that some people get it worse than others, but you are not alone.
Good luck, I hope you see some improvement.
