Thanks from me too. I have to wait about an hour after I get up in the morning to get the strength emotionally and pshysically. I try to use a lotion to wash with, and I love Jean Nate which gives me the gumption to at least take a shower so i smell good afterwards. i think of how good i'll feel before i get in the shower, and how much it helps feeling afterward. I also change soaps. I often wonder how other people feel when they first wake up-i have the hardest part of my day in the morning waking up. Do others feel awful when they first wake up too? Just wondering and thanks.
