I've had a recent episode of seasonal depression so I tend to wake up okay but toward the second half of the afternoon as the sun is setting and it starts getting dark I feel worse. I've taken to just giving in and going to bed right after dinner. For me though I know it is temporary. The meds will kick in or the episode will run its course so I'm just trying not to be impatient which is difficult. At least I'm between school terms so I don't have to be on top of anything right now.
