feeling worse in the morning

[bb]

Is this the norm , feeling worse in the morning.  I've planned my life around the morning being the time that I take things easy and keep everything to a minimum.  Anyone else feel worse in the morning?

Hi bb
Yes, I too often feel worse in the mornings. I have read that it is fairly common for people with depression and/or anxiety, to feel worsein the morning. I often feel fine, even really good, by the evening.
I tend to feel more anxious, when I do feel worse in the mornings. I have found that exercise first thing in the morning, has helped me. Obviously might not work for everyone tho.
What are your morning symptoms/ experience?

Just about enough energy to get out of bed to get kids to school then take it easy , I don't commit tks anything before midday.

I find mornings really hard too, I think it's a common thing.

I also have children and find they're the only thing that gets me up some days

You are not alone BB I have always been worse in the morning. When I was really bad I struggled to even get out of bed but then by the evening I was a different person. S x x x x

Just go with the flow then , don't fight it? Xxx

That is the best thing to do. It took me a long time to realise this. Fighting against it I have found is not a good thing. Listen to your body and rest when you can.  S x x x x

I really struggle in the mornings too, and then as the day goes on I'm a lot better! Some mornings I just don't get out of bed but I forse myself. xx

Oh yes. Mornings are truly awful. I've always struggled to get up and my default setting is not to get up at all !! But, yes by the evening, I normally feel 'normal'. Now I'm back on the meds, I find it slightly easier but I never plan to do anything important 1st thing. Even with work I don't arrive til 09.30 and luckily this hasn't been a problem.

I am kinda strange then.

I feel ok most mornings and I am able to get up and go about my business but then find it hardest from mid afternoon to about 9pm.
After 9pm I come to life and then cant get to sleep.

I just try to work around it and plan things accordingly

Hi,yes i also have been finding it more difficult to get going in the morning,i used to always be a get up and go person,but since suffering with depression i have struggled to get motivated,i am still managing work everyday but some days find it a real effort to get there,so yes i would say mornings are the worst.
