Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have such a black mood in the mornings. I panic and cry a lot. My meds don't seem to help at all.
I just want to crawl back into bed and stay there all day. Bad thoughts pop in and out of my head.
Does anyone else find the mornings difficult? If, so how do you deal with them? What do you do to feel better?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
For me it's not so much panic and crying as it is emptiness. I feel like there's no point to waking up...I wonder to myself, "Why even get out of bed?" I end up either just laying awake in my bed staring at a point on the wall or sitting down in the shower, the water running over me, in a state of near-catatonia.
Unfortunately I really don't know what to tell you :-(...advice from me would be like the blind leading the blind. I'd definitely appreciate any help with this topic as well.
One thing, however slight, that helps me is setting "daily goals" the night before. These aren't big things...just things that you enjoy. For instance, today, I told myself that I would try to fix wiener schnitzel....something simple, something small, and that was enough to give myself enough motivation to get through the morning.
However this hasn't been working so well as of late....I can definitely really feel my depression in the morning moreso than the afternoon.
Now that I am on leave, it's more what fulminta mentioned...the empty feeling...the feeling that there is no point to my life. That's a tough one for me...let me know if you ever need a chat!
