Just want to cry this morning 😿

[anon94176359]

Just woke up feeling like crap. Man I hate mornings

Sorry to hear it, but it should be over in an hour or two right? Maybe coffee helps? I usually grab a soda and a cigarette just after waking up, then eat breakfast and do my bathroom stuff for the day. By then I’m usually feeling better.

[anon94176359]

Thanks for the message. Yeah it does get better but it takes me about 3 hours to feel ok again.

I slept through a day I had planned with my mom yesterday, didn’t wake up til 8pm and she had already left back to maryland where’s she staying during her visit. I was really down because of it. Basically three or four days ago I slept all day and turned my sleep schedule backwards. That’s my biggest obstacle lately. I have to stay up all night and all day the following day and pass out at 9 or 10 pm to fix it, but its hard to stay up when the morning light comes, the voices go away, and I feel sleepy.

Plus at night, there’s not as many people to talk to on here I don’t know what to do with myself.

Funny you should mention staying up at night. I do much better when my sleep schedule is reversed. I don’t get these hellish mirnings

My first job out of college was a shift from 4pm to 1am, I got off and stayed up hanging out with my friend from work or playing online games, went to bed at 8 am and woke up at 3 pm. It was a really good schedule for me, I did my normal stuff during my days off.

Reminds me of that show called Night Court, they had an episode called “Day Court” where they dragged the whole cast into morning routines, and it screwed them all so badly, except for the bailiff who became super happy because she’s a “morning person.”

Anyway I’ll try not to bug you and let you get the jitters out, just wanted to say hi because it’s kind of dead around here. Good luck with your day!

[anon94176359]

You aren’t bugging me at all! I appreciate your posts!

[daydreamer]

I just try and think what to do with myself when I wake up, I usually go out for coffee lol it helps me to adjust to the new day

[anon94176359]

I am actually starting to feel better! Only took 1 hour this morning. Maybe I am turning a corner

The mornings are usually pretty good for me. It’s the afternoons that are dreary. Time passes so slow during the afternoons.

[agent101g]

Oh that’s great! What’s helping me is looking at a recent text from my mom that was very encouraging. She reminds me that I’m doing a lot better. I’m starting to have ambitions, like driving again and checking my e-mail regularly. I know that might sound small but it’s pretty big for me.

[anon94176359]

Great things come from small beginnings my friend! Keep up the good work

[everhopeful]

I feel your pain. My mornings are horrific. I wish there was a solution.

I get a lot of anxiety before going to school in the mornings. But my meds help, and so do my therapy techniques I’ve learned.

[Sardonic]

Omg, yes. That “before school morning anxiety” was absolute hell.

[daydreamer]

if its getting better jim then that is a result, hopefully it will continue to improve, you are still adjusting to your new dose as well,

how is your eyes now btw? still blurry?

[anon94176359]

They get blurry at the end of the day mostly. Are ok now

My mornings are often almost unbearable. So I understand. Often after I drop the kids off at school I go back to bed for an hour or so. It helps. But not good for having a productive day.
