Is there such a thing as morning depression?

Lately when I wake up in the mornings I've been feeling HORRIBLE.
I don't really feel unwilling to face the day or sad that another day has come or anything. Im not thinking anything like that.
Im not sure how to explain it other than I feel like crap, and sometimes I feel like crying.
I am seriously a very happy person usually, even the rest of the day I feel happy. Its only the first moments I wake up when I am still in bed.
Is this a sign of anything? Or is it a disorder itself?
And is it serious enough to tell a doctor? Or is it something that goes away?
Lots of questions in one I know lol, but its really freaking me out. I've seriously never felt anything like that unless something terrible happened.

Oh and Ive been sleeping the same amount of sleep I do when I wake up normally.

well if you don't feel it all the time, it's probably some type of mild anxiety, it does suck but it goes away, there are rx's to help with it but most people can generally handle it on their own

my best guess would be just try something to get your mind off it, or think about how later in the day it's going to be fine, just for now you have to deal with it. accept it for what it is and realize it's their, it will pass. dont deny it it could lead to bigger problems.

In Medical terminology, it usually happen with working ladies, pregnant womens. While psychologically, it happens with students, or people who had not yet achieved anything great, or feel jealous of others getting things easily or having problems at home such as big expectations of parents etc., etc., what a person need is just to silver lining in all problems, a well planned next day routine & mental make up to stick to the scheduled tasks with plus minus of fractions. hopefully, the same will do miracle in your life.

Hmmm, that is weird. It could be some form of depression why dont you go to a doctor or find a therapist and explain how you are feeling and when you feel things. Maybe they can offer some advice and information on this.....Hmm its something i would def. go talk to someone about. Noone deserves to wake up and have that horrible feeling that eats at you and really is just unexplainable but it hurts. Really bad. Hmm i hope you get some help and this goes away for you. Good luck!

This is the disorder itself. My mom has been diagnosed with depression, and she has the same kind or morning depression, and happiness during the day!

your body is probably lacking vitamins and therefore you hormones arent balanced making you feel crappy then when you eat some of the vitamins are replenished and you can go throughout the day or maybe its just lack of sleep!

it's one of the symptoms related to the onset of dementia and senility.

if it took longer to feel better, like till the afternoon, it could be sleep apnea. but it doesn't quite match.
