Sometimes when I wake up in the morning's my insides literally feel like they are doing jumping jacks and I want to crawl right out of my own skin.Yeah, I lie there in bed trying to go back to sleep because it woke me up too early but the longer I lie there, the worse it gets.

Yes! Like you're a person who's phobic about flying and you're on the airplane and the engines have revved up and you're starting down the runway. Gasp!> It's hard to describe but it's torment. I sometimes think I'd rather be depressed. Then I got really depressed and wished I just had anxiety.

Does yours never go away? Mine goes away at night. By 9 or 10 it's usually gone and by 11 or 12 I feel like a normal person. Then it starts all over again the next morning.
> Some days are better than other's. I have gotten much worse lately-- not sure if it's the weather change, sickness, stress, or what but it's been bad.What does your doctor say? Klonopin really helps but it takes a while in the morning after I take it before the agitation/fear goes away (lessens).
