I too have a very tough time in the mornings - in fact most symptoms you all have mentioned seem to hit me the worst between breakfast and lunch. Consequently, my anxiety shoots up and the vicious cycle begins. I also have 2 special needs children, which adds another layer to my challenging mornings.

What has helped me most is to just accept that this is how it is and that I need ALOT more time in the am to get my head on straight

You all aren't alone. I have been there, moved through it & now in the thick of it again. Sometimes all we can do is just breathe
