It's very strange to me that this is the case for those with clinical depression; I personally feel great each morning and by the late evening my mood tends to be nearly as low as it was when I did have a bout of clinical depression. I wonder if this suggests a different mechanism for my melancholy.
- pottertheotter 6y agoThis is so interesting to read. I'm not always in a deep depression, but I'm trying to recall a period of my life where I could say "I generally feel great in the morning" and I can't think of one. I'm not saying I generally feel bad, but never great.
- xvedejas 6y agoThe "great" is after maybe a half hour of grogginess. Then I feel like I have peak motivation and am ready to take on the world, for the rest of the morning. I sure would love to have that perspective for the rest of the day. Caffeine kind of enhances it. Possibly relevant, I regularly get about 9 hours of sleep each night.
- inakarmacoma 6y agoAgreed. I can't remember ever feeling great or well rested upon waking. It's depressing. Or depression, as it were.
- darkerside 6y agoExercise immediately upon waking. After a week of this, you wake fully primed. No coffee needed.
