Doomers in th early morn

For a few weeks/and sometimes even now/,  i woke up each morn feeling clammy...some days downright sweaty..witha cloud of doom hanging over me,,,it was this really depressing feeling that lingered while i would try to close my eyes for that 20-30 minutes of sleep that i had left before work,,it was a dark cloud.filled with anxiety and gloom...It is a feeling of not being safe/scary insecurity..thoughts about "where would i have  been, where could i have been, why on earth am i here cos this aint sposed to be where i am at this era of my life..i can lay there for 30 minutes more. but accomplishing nothing..just feeling kinda like a  loser and a vague sense of emptyness that is always there i guess...just feel it more in the am/early morn...for me hopping out of bed pronto helps..why lay there in my bed and torment myself over things that never came to be...jumping up out of bed and focusing on all the things i want to get done that day...feels lots better than dwelling on my past..cant go back and change any of it/the past/ seems as to this doominess tries to grab me into feeling like using/like my old self/my using old self...i have learned i have to get on up..outta bed and those doomies are gone the secnd i am up and entering my new day..i guess those doomies live in the bed..tried different beds and it didnt help /i thnk those lil domers live anywhere i go until i get totally right with myself LOL

Does anyone else have depression in the morning/right upon awakening/ that is really weird, goes away once u get up and moving?

I know exactly what you are feeling, the conclusion I came to was that mornings were a trigger for me naturally because that is when I would start my day by letting my pills kick in and induce my happiness, I have found that having something positive first thing in the morning really helps,, And yes get out of that bed,, the worst detoxes I can remember was when I tried laying in bed uncomfortable and feeling sorry for myself,, Don't worry about the past or sometimes even the present, try and keep focused on the future of what you can do, not what you did,,, I hope you feel better in the morning ;)

OMG I understand exactly what you are saying.I still have mornings like this sometimes too.I will wake up some mornings with all this nervous energy,this feeling of impending doom,and no logical explanation as to why I'm feeling this way.Maybe it does have something to do with waking up in the morning and not having,what used to be my morning ritual,either rolling over and taking the pills or the methadone and waiting that 30 minutes for that false energy or that numbing feeling like VicAddict mentioned.I never thought of that.I'm not necessarily craving on all mornings when I wake up feeling that way,but that might have something to do with it.A part of me wants to just lay there and pull the covers up over my head,but I know the longer I stay in bed the worse I'm going to feel so I have to get up and get moving in order to make it go away too.Thanks for posting this worried.For whatever it's worth,you're not the only one.I still get mornings like that too.I'll be interested to see how many others here still feel that way sometimes.Good post....All the best...Kim

i had a doomer day yesterday,didnt want to post cause i felt bad about feeling bad...slept away a lot of the day and was in a total "whats the point" mood...this morning i feel "normal" tho,doubled my celexa dose (i can do that only 40 mgs now)and have energy...even my dog mojo stayed next to me yesterday...he doesnt usually leave his bed..i dont know where it came from but if it happens again im going to tell my dr..

Those days are no fun at all but seems as tho it passess once i get up and get mobing..i rememer when i could lay around a feel cozy all morn if i felt like it...now i have to get on outa the bed...not as peaceful to lay around as it used to be...doomy days are not the easiest..but they always pass..today is sunny and cool...i am up and moving..off to church..have a good day everyone

Hope this passes Worried. You are a valued, kindhearted person who is beloved on here by many and I can speak for myself in that I hate to hear you are feeling this way. Try to focus on all the good things you bring into the world everyday and that you are blessed to wake up. See waking up as a blessing b/c so many people don't get that chance to hear the alarm ring in the morning. You deserve better and things will improve with time. Hang in there. I will pray for u tonight that 2morrow you will awake with peace.

I get that feeling every single morning. I just wake up suddenly....never gradually and sleepy like before. I feel that doom feeling. Even though I know that it always happens, and always goes away I never can change it. As you, when I lay in bed I just lull in it. I know that I should get up and find something to do but keep thinking that I will find that sleepy, relaxed state that I used to have in the morning. I guess it's an addiction thing if so many others have it too. I never know if the strange things that happen to me are damage from my addiction or menopause. Both kinda stormed through my system at the same time.. Corey

Light therapy may help. Also are you using a progesterone cream, like a yam cream? It can really elevate the mood.

Good to hear from you. I can't use anything hormonal bc I am a breast cancer survivor. Wish I could have some hormones as much as Hydros sometimes though LOL. Corey
