If you are depressed, then sometimes it can be worse in the morning because of low serotonin levels.
Even if you feel fine when it comes to afternoon/evening time, it may still be worth checking to see if you are actually depressed.
Some people could say you just aren't a morning person. But if you feel like you want to die (even if you won't go that far to kill yourself) there isn't something right there.
A few things that help is when you wake up in the morning, DO NOT stay in bed, or else you'll lie there feeling depressed. Get up and do something. If you don't have a job, get one, or try. May be get a hobby to concentrate on. Find something that makes you happy and makes life worth living for you. Distraction is a big help. And so is medication/therapy if you want to go further with this too.
I've been getting up right when I wake up the past week. :) I know what you mean. Some days if I don't get up or if I lie back down I'll stay there till late afternoon. :/
I have a job. Sometimes I go to work in a great mood (talk to all my coworkers, customers, smile, hyper) then two hours later I feel extremely depressed and anxious (can't even say hello to customers, almost have panic attacks, feel like crying for no reason, angry).
The thing is whether I'm in a good mood or bad mood I find it hard to concentrate. I sit there trying to read a book or study and I just can't.
That's great that there has been an improvement the past week! Be proud of yourself. You could also think about treating yourself when your day goes right.
If you are depressed, it is normal for your mood to change very quickly. Also not being able to concentrate is normal. I've been through it all before and come out the other side.
It looks like getting to the bottom of this can help you. To find out why you are depressed. Something traumatic in your past, a family history of mental health issues or a chemical inbalance of serotonin in your brain.
Is it normal waking up wanting to die?
