I am depressed, on high dose of tablets, seeing a psychologist etc ....
Still - I have awful diurnal variation. Mornings are just shite, to be honest. I get up (cos I have to - 3 dc to get out to school) but after that (and it only takes about 50 mins in total as they get the school bus so I don't have to walk them) I am so tired I can do practically nothing else .... 2 days a week I drag myself to work but its lunchtime till I feel better!
In the evening I am great - sociable, relaxed, thoughtful, able to read/study/sew/interact. In the morning I am just rubbish.
My sleep has improved beyond all recognition lately - I am getting up to 7 hours a night!!! But I am still lie a bear with a sore head until at least 11am.
One of the biggest problems is dh is also depressed just now (yes, cheery household!) - he is fine in the mornings and just awful at night! So we have no social life together, but he can't help much in the morning as he has to get himself ready - we all get up at 7am and he and the children all leave together at 8.
Don't actually knwo why I'm saing all this - looking for some hand-holding and a wee pat on the head for doing OK I suppose, while sympathy for my horible morning s too!
