Yes, I seem to have gloom and doom feelings in the mornings. There are times that I wake up around 4 AM and can not get back to sleep. It's that time when the self-pity thoughts whirl in my head. Getting out of bed in the morning has been such a drag for me, even with the early sunrises.

What's really weird is that I feel more doom and gloom on Saturday and Sunday mornings than I do on the weekdays. I feel more of it on Sunday mornings than Saturday mornings. Lately I have been feeling that way on the weekday mornings because I'm getting sick of my job. I loved it for a long time, but lately it seems like the people are whining and complaining more.

Also I have health anxiety. I was diagnosed with a physical disease. I don't want to say what it is. Despite the diagnosis, I feel fine. I keep thinking that it was a mistake. But I had other issues before and they were scary. But they came and went. And now, my brother who is close in age to me, has been diagnosed with COPD and sleep apnea. He and I never got along in our whole lives and still don't to this day. But I feel bad for him. Though he did live a reckless kind of life.

What has worked for me is having "Honey-Nut O's" cereal for breakfast. For some strange reason that particular cereal can turn my morning blahs upside down. Around lunch time I get health anxiety terrors. But after having lunch, an apple really helps with my mood.
