Answer 1

Depression is a state of mind and albeit influenced by previous time spent - absolutely controllable with the right frame of mind. Count your blessings not your wants, think of others before yourself, and smile in the face of adversity. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely conditions that hinder the delicate balance of chemicals inside of your brain so if you are dealing with apparent idiopathic depression, see a doctor. Ultimately though, remember that this place is only temporary. Good luck!

Answer 2

I believe that for everyone it's different. For me, I get depressed late at night, because it's so quet and all I have are my pessimistic thoughts to think about. Maybe you get depressed because you just hate your job or your school, or whatever you do. It could also be a chemical imbalance in your brain. But, if it's not one of those, you have to remember that most people eventually go through a stage in their lives when they have depression. I think it's normal for you to feel this way if it doesn't cause you to act on your depressing thoughts and feelings. I hope you start feeling better! If you want to stop feeling depressed in the morning, I would start putting on some positive music in to morning, or start every morning with prayer. These things always make my mornings more cheerful.

Answer 3

It is not. The depression that begins early in the morning can be helped with therapy or medication from an MD. There is another type of depression that sets in around late afternoon and evening that is more difficult to treat. It requires medication and psychiatry.

Answer 4

I'm not depressed, but I get this also.
For me it is wanting to sleep more, not wanting to deal with responsibilities, and wanting to be able to drift back into dream world where I can do anything without actually being responsible, as opposed to the real world, where there are actual responsibilities and deadlines and things that need to get done... so wake up, come out of your dreams and into your life, which is all a dream that you create for yourself... "I have a dream..."

Answer 5

I have often wondered that myself. I am feeling better as the day goes on, the pain is bearable at night, but in the morning it is overwhelmingly bad. I hope you get some answers as I really need to find out why this is the case. Even the psychiatrist didn't have an answer for me. I wonder if anyone knows........

Answer 6

I woke up one morning dreaming that I had killed someone and buried them in my backyard. I can remember myself thinking as I started to fall asleep again, but the feeling was so horrible that I suddenly popped awake as if running from a nightmare, which I was feeling.
I was now awake but part of me could still see the dream and and I had a terrible feeling of guilt, I mean terrible.
It took me a moment to realize that it wasn't true! I had never killed anyone and buried them anywhere!
So then the question became, "So why do I still feel so over powerfully guilty?"The answer of course is that the guilt was real, but the cause was forgotten somewhere in my childhood. That became crystal clear to me.
It turns out that childhood and adulthood are different in this way among other ways. Adults can more of less remember traumatic events that cause on going feelings or paranoia, fear, shame and so on. But children don't remember like adults remember, so the cause of the trauma in a child is often forgotten completely.
The result is a psychic damage memory or feeling that is unrelated to any recognizable event. (There is a term for this which escapes my voice at the moment, but it is like I have expressed.)
You might say suppressed anger, confusion or fear. The feelings you are having in the morning are related to your time of life when memory did not work like adult memory works. For one thing, young children often do not distingush between self and parent. Children are all or in part an extention of the adult in their own minds, the childs mind.
So the memory to your now adult mind comes as an unknown feeling or feelings that have no apparent cause or reason to exist, it seems to you now. But there is a reason, it is trapped in the child or baby part of our memory and translated only as a feeling which your subconscious is interrupting as a dream or in a dream quality story.
This may seem fantastic, and it is, and professionals no doubt express it differently but they do express it. Memories are often dreamed in dream patterns repeatedly over our life until they are somehow elevated to the conscious mind. This is what is happening to you.
Your dream feeling is staying with you as wake up. It is often scary or frightening, but it is not so scary that it is not important to try and understand what is being communicated. It is about feelings, not events necessarily. But, as a woman I am sure you understand the significance of feelings.
In other words, it is real. And it is good to ask question about it. Dreams are real and can be worked with and understood to a great degree, but it is a task like understanding what to do about feelings. Reading a good book on dreams might help although beware of magic in this regard.
Finally, enjoy it by acknowledging the feeling you are witnessing as a long lost memory that is only partly revealed at this time. Get professional help if you have the time, money and appetite for it. It is great stuff!

Answer 7

Yes, in moderate or severe depression, low mood is often worse in the morning and improves slightly during the day – though it never goes. This is called diurnal variation.

I have it too, and it is not fun. Hang in there, and don't stop trying to fix it. Never give up. Sometimes it takes awhile for your doctor to find the right combination(s) of medicine for you, and this can be very frustrating. He will find it, just give him and yourself a chance.

Answer 8

The thought of facing another day is hard to wake up to for some people.

Answer 9

Because you spend too much time in REM sleep due to over dreaming at night, and so you wake up exhausted and even more depressed.

Answer 10

Try this when you wake up, look at yourself in the mirror and be happy that you are alive and healthy!

Then go have a great day!
