Mornings are the hardest. No matter how decent I get to feeling during the day, I wake up every morning feeling lousy. I feel stiff and sore physically when I first wake up. And I feel vaguely depressed. This is every morning. It can take hours to ease up, but it usually does. Later in the day, I can feel alright. But every morning it's a battle.

I don't think I'm unique in having morning be the worst time of the day for me. So I'ld be interested in hearing if others have this problem.

This morning was even harder than usual. It's now after 2 p.m. and I'm still not out of the morning funk.

I've thought about asking my doctor for a stimulant to take in the morning. But I don't think he will approve of that. In the past I didn't find Ritalin that helpful.

Today is just awful. I can't seem to get out of it. Even if I do, tomorrow morning will start it over again.
