Oh yeah, I can relate to this! The previous evening I'd be feeling kind of ok about it, but then come the morning I'd quite often wake up feeling... anguish, I suppose is the best way to describe it. I initially came to dread waking up to that feeling and I'd struggle like hell with it, tossing and turning, trying to push away the feelings, going around and around in circles in my mind over this and that, etc., until I was well and truly caught in a suffering spiral :/

Mercifully I eventually had the presence of mind to realise that I was making myself suffer because I'd unconsciously been in resistance to what I was feeling, and in time I came to see those times of the day as an opportunity to release whatever it was I was holding on to, so I'd turn my attention to what I was actually feeling instead of fighting it. It's an on-going commitment, mind, and I still get caught sometimes (it's like the genie's out of the bottle, and sometimes I still spiral hard - but it passes in time).
