For the last 12 years every morning around 6 am I wake up with short mouth breathing and lower cramping stomach pain. Also I notice a dry mouth and anxiety. Soon then my breathing recovers and sometimes I have to urinate and release some stomach or belly gas. And sleeping can sometimes be continued. However in stressfull times this kind of awakening can re occur many times per hour. Or when I am more at ease I can sleep right through till the clock starts ringing. Stil after standing up the anxiety can be high and a lot of depressing and critical thought come into my mind. Mostly I have to wait until around noon to be free of these depressing thoughts. When I drive a car I notice I have sensitive and critical thoughts about sounds and vibrations of the car. Or I notice worries around the things I have to do that day. I have had a lot of examinations colonoscopy, sleepapnea, stomach scans etc.. nothing clear was discovered. Can this be TMS? Since it seems to hide every time in my sleep?

It definitely can be - and you've clearly articulated the link between stress and the symptoms, which is a hallmark of TMS
