You have demonstrated bravery with asking your question with the hopes to coming to terms with it and coping. And furthermore, you have demonstrated self-awareness that you're aware that you're extremely anxious in the morning and when you're alone.
There are many ways to cope with anxiety, a part of the journey is the experience of trying different things and sticking to what's right for you -- it's a process. Sometimes you find somethings that help, sometimes you find somethings that unfortunately don't, but know that in the journey you're only growing and emerging stronger.
Somethings that are known to help people are tea, pursuing fun hobbies, practicing creativity (through art, writing, music, etc.), catching-up with a friend, enjoying a nice meal, aromatherapy, bubble baths, a hot shower, a cool splash of water running on your face, ice cubes to cool off with, a plushie/stuffed animal to hug you through the tough times, having a motto/mantra to live by, positive affirmations, reading a cozy book that cheers you up, watching a comedy or hearing jokes that help you laugh, these are just some of many things that can help you cope. Consider trying some and see if you even fall in love with life in the process! All the best

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
