Why did I wake up this morning feeling depressed?
I was feeling ok last night , but when I woke up today I felt really sad randomly, almost for no reason at all. And well, tbh I didn’t actually get up in the morning. I woke up around 1:20 pm in the afternoon.... but why am I feeling so sad? I really want to know why so I can fix this? I hate feeling this way. :/ please only serious answers.
Why do I keep waking up early?
Ever since my boyfriend broke up with me (a few weeks ago) I keep waking up early for no reason. What happens is usually I'm having a random dream about something and then someone who was his friend, him or something that reminds me of him shows up in my dream and it wakes me up. Once I wake up, I feel sad and I start regretting stuff about the relationship in my head or replaying the past. I've done good about the break up. I'm doing a lot better than I was before. I'm starting to get over it and getting on the right track, but no matter how I felt yesterday I always wake up like this every single day. The weird thing is I end up waking up at the same time too, around 8:50. Why am I doing this and how can I sleep in?
Why do I keep waking up at 4Am every morning ?
Waking up earlier than desired is a common symptom of depression. Some people have depression without having obvious symptoms like feeling sad. It might resolve on it's own, but if this has been happening almost every day for two or three months it would be a good idea to talk to a doctor. It could also be a sleep disorder that has no relation to depression, or it might be related to a physical cause. It might also be something simple like too much caffeine or eating too late at night. Depression is the first thing I think of because I have had Major Depression/Dysthymic Disorder for many years and I have had the problem of waking up too early.It hardly ever happens when I'm on antidepressant medication.
Why do my dreams keep making me feel depressed and angry?
For the past months I have been dreaming of people who are not real but in my dream I know them. I cant remember faces or names. Sometimes I wake up feeling jealous and sad and sometimes hurt or belittled. In my dreams I lose to everything. I am looked down on. I wake up having feelings of jealousy for a girl who never even existed. Or I call out to somebody and they cant hear me, as if im invisible. People just end up leaving me. I am 17 years old and this past summer has been wasted. I have been going to work and coming home. Sometimes I lay in bed for hours and not get any sleep for what ever reason. And when I do, I dream of all these things that make feel lonely. Again why am I feeling all of these negative emotions at this age? Over dreams? I have been spending my days disoriented and kinda quiet. I feel as if im never really fully awake. Im new to this place and I just wanted to know if someone or anyone out there had knowledge on dreams and how they worked in order for me to sleep and feel alive again.
Why do I often feel fearful after waking up from a nap?
We have a system called "orexin" (by system, I mean both the neurons running through our brain but also the chemicals, orexin-A and B, that they produce).Our orexin system releases these chemicals when it's "time" for us to wake up, based on the cycles of sleep (our so-called "circadian rhythms") that our body has established. Orexin also produces physiological arousal- not sexual, but the kind of heightened alertness that leads to our fight-or-flight responses, as well as kick-starting our appetites- in short, all the things that, under normal circumstances, we need to get us going in the morning.When we sleep out of cycle, our orexin production upon waking isn't something that our nervous system is accustomed to, and in a midday nap, we'll be getting a "dose" that may even overlap with the effects from earlier in the day. This excess physiological arousal can feel like terror, intense anxiety, an adrenaline rush, etc., and if we're not fully awake when it starts kicking in, it can lead to some very intense, scary, lucid dreams right before we're fully conscious!The best way to get this feeling under control is to establish a consistent sleep rhythm. Daytime naps are fine, but we have to accept that it will take our nervous and endocrine systems time to adjust the production of important chemicals to match our new cycle. If we take midday naps only very occasionally or irregularly, our systems will do the best they can, but we're probably in for as much of a surprise as it is.
