I asked that because with my current job, even though I like it, I still have mornings when I either don't want to get up at all (like this one) or mornings where I get up feeling something negative (whether it's cranky, anxiety, kind of sick, etc) and don't really want to go to work (like yesterday and some other days recently). But once I take whatever I take that helps with anxiety and/or energy, and/or once I get going (like being in the car or forcing myself to actually do some work at work) I feel a lot better. That's not always the case, and I think it's like you said--the more work I have to do, the better. When I'm at work and am not already in the best mood but I'm bored or trying to manufacture work to do, I get irritated and start really thinking about how much I want to go home. Usually, I have to find something to do to get out of this mindset, or if I have something with me to take to make me feel better I'll take something.
I take anxiety supplements and energy supplements, because I don't have a prescription for anxiety meds and I really struggle with energy, especially in the mornings. The energy supplements I take do help me with my mood most of the time, which is very important. Not everyone would want to take what I take because it has caffeine in it and I also don't think it's FDA-approved/regulated (but I'm desperate, so...lol), but all I did was do some research on Google and Amazon to find something that would help me with mood and energy, and I've tried a few different things until I found something I felt helped me and felt comfortable trying.
