I really need help. I wake up and my mornings feel like crap. I feel that nagging anxiety (not crippling), I feel kinda "blah" almost depressed. I don't feel any energy. I don't feel like "me". I just want to go back to sleep.
Mornings start at 7:45am. I wake up and get the kids off to school. I should start or be at work at 10am. So if I'm working from home I have 2 hrs to get thru, or if i'm going in I have 1 1/2 hrs to get thru. A shower and getting ready takes 30 min away from that time I have to get thru.
If I'm working from home that day, I should start working at 10am, but I'll still feel crappy at 10am. I'll try to go back to sleep to skip over the crappy times. Usually I can't get to sleep because of the fact I'm feeling crappy. So i just lie there. Possibly drifting in and out of a light sleep. But still feeling crappy. Once it's about noon, I start feeling a bit better.
When I am not working from home (i need to be at work by 10am). I might try and go back to sleep for an hour. Same deal. I feel crappy. But once I get into work, and start talking to my co-workers, I feel better.
When I'm done working and I'm back home, (say around 5pm). I feel wonderful. Full of energy, not "blah", not anxious, not anything.
About a 9 months ago before all this started, i had a previous job.. same hours and worked from home 24/7. I was always able to go back to sleep no problem. I would wake up feeling good and I would work.
What can I do to make myself feel as good as I do in the afternoon/evenings in the morning. (thus all the time). My daughter wakes up and she's happy as can be. Singing songs etc. I want that. How do I get there?
I've tried waking up and exercising right away. It makes me feel good temporarily. But then i'm just sitting there with time to get thru. Watching TV doesn't help.
I hope someone has the answer. I have a new therapist and just started with adding effexor to my mix.
Thank you all.
