Hello, I have a couple of questions and some of my own input about them also.
Since I know knowledge is power, there are a couple of questions I would like to have answered so I know more. The first question is: Why is it harder to deal with anxiety and panic in the morning? A thought that I have about this question is the fact that I have some pretty rough sleep inertia(the I'm still tired and foggy headed feeling after waking up) could account for this. The second question is: I'm getting close to doing exposure work(I'm about in the middle of the week into my third session), which I know some or most people do this while taking medication so it makes the exposure work easier. But I am a full-time college student right now with no medical and no way of paying to see a therapist, is it still alright for me to pursue the exposure work? Cause I know the exposure work is a big part of the program and I would really like to work on this step, unless it might be too hard or there is anything for me to watch out for if I am not on meds. Plus I'm not a big fan of meds anyway, I like doing everything in a natural way or through my own willpower. Thank you to anyone for your answers.
