anxiety in the morning? This is a question that comes up all the time. Actually people are quite surprised that they

are not the only one suffering with this so even though we've done a

podcast about this in the past I thought it was important to bring it up and

bring it up into the current podcast because it

happens a lot and people feel quite frightened by it because they think it's

unusual or they are the only person suffering with this.

So let's talk about what it is.

When we are in a state of overstimulation which is what anxiety is our stress hormones have

us completely overstimulated we run into a problem if we are stimulated at all beyond that, right? So we are what we call

We could be having a panic attack at that point. And so that's
