I find that I get depressed a bit each Spring around the time of the change to Daylight Savings Time.  Have no idea why.  I'm thinking it is a transitional period between Winter and Spring and my body and mood need to adjust.  But I just hate feeling down in the beautiful Springtime.  I always wondered if other people had this same problem.  It usually goes away once May brings warm weather.  Hope you are feeling better today.  I find that getting outside and going for a long walk with a friend really helps.  Take Care!

Thanks so much, I am feeling slightly better, but still pretty anxious.  I hate getting this way for the pretty weather too.   I will try to do that walk with a friend.

Again, thanks for the thoughtful response.

That is the sory of my life!  I wake up EVERY morning....no matter what season, with anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder

Stress and anxiety and nauseaHyperemesis gravidarum

Nausea and vomiting.  it is terrible, but I have learned to live with it.  Weekends are very tough for me too, to get moving.  The less I do, the less I want to do....it takes a lot to get me moving.  sometimes I end up doing absolutely nothing...then of course, I feel worse..like a big loser...so I try very hard to take that shower early in the morning, get dressed and get out of the house even though, at firstFirst progesterone mc10

You are awesome.  Thanks so much.  I feel EXACTLY the same way.  It feels so much better to know you're not alone!  You put it exactly the way I feel - like a loser.  I am going to my psychiatrist in about an hour, but I have told him I feel this way all the time and he doesn't seem to have any answers.  He just wants to get to the root of it, of course, which I have been trying to do for a while now.  He is good, but it's just hard to do and sometimes you just want sympathy honestly.  You know?  I just want to hear from someone - ME TOO!  Thanks again.  I will let you know if I have any remedies/tips.  Probably what you said about just getting up and out is best:)

THANK YOU!

PS....I feel fine now, since it's 3:30, but I am already dreading the next morning.  ARRRRGH!

Please don't feel at all like a loser.  I would say most mornings I wake up so fearful of getting ready for work and going on with my day.  Like if I get in the shower/go to work, my world will fall apart.  I take lexapro 20mg. at night and ativan .5mg 3 times per day.  I have found that if I wake up an hour early and take my ativan I am better.  A big part is also the way you talk yourself through the feelings.  I noticed that I was more negative during my anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder

Good luck.  Know you aren't alone.  I am right there with ya!

Take care and thank you thank you!

I am not sure if I feel more anxious/depressed during the seasons, but I do feel very anxious and have a hard time getting even getting out of bed in the mornings.  I am suffering from anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder
Separation anxiety
Stress and anxiety and panicPanic disorder
Panic disorder with agoraphobia again and am on Zoloft and Ativan along with therapy.  I know that if I remain in bed, then it wins and I cannot let that happen.  I sometimes have to put things in perspective and realize that no matter how much I am suffering, I can learn from this experience and there is someone in this world that is much less fortunate  than I am even in this state.  I do know that it will get better with time and hard work.  This forum is also a great tool to use as well.  There are so many people here that are going through the exact same thing you are and really care how you are doing.
