Crushing morning depression

I wake up almost every morning with the most intense level of crushing despair and by night time I would say I am almost happy. Then morning comes again and feel crippling sadness. Seems like something chemical...a dip in something....I don't take meds. Any homeopathic ideas?

Thank you so much for help!

Juliebean,

I have to second Karens suggestion. 8 hours to be coming up and down like that everyday is not cool. I would see a doc.

Wishing you peace

I find that I also feel quite bad in the morning to be honest, maybe changing your routine a little bit would help?

I hope my response doesn't come off as a med pusher because I know lots of people manage their depression very well without. It sounds like its a chemical imbalance that causes your depression. That it has to "level" out is what makes me think a low dose ofmahbe one of the less intense medications for depression, suggested by your dr, and just see if it helps.
I think counseling is wonderful. I use both methods for different reasons. I see things in me that I want to work on so I see a therapist. I use medication because without it I can't operate to the intensity that my husband and kids deserve. I do use my depression as a learning tool for my kids. I hope that they will see that depression doesn't have to rule you and that is perfectly acceptable to ask for help.
