Sometimes, when I wake in the morning it is as if all the very worst things are There. If I go back to sleep, the dreams are unpleasant. I've come to believe depression brings with it a great difficulty with minor/major/basic transitions--- to move from one place to another. Do you know what/if something triggered the depression? What worked best for me but is Very hard to do was to get up immediately on waking, taking a shower, dressing and by then the feelings usually passed, or at least muted. Sometimes when you Have to get to sleep to function the next day short term medication will help (I use but do not recommend long term meds---it is not possible for me to change at this time)--
