Feeling suicidal especially in the mornings

[kevin1192]

Does anyone else feels more suicidal in the morning when you wake up? Like the moment I open my eyes I just think about killing myself and it is way stronger in the mornings.

 

[BitterlyAlive]

Yes, my mood is notably worse in the mornings as well.

 

[Throwawaysoul]

Same. Eyes open and the disappointment of not dying peacefully in my sleep and having to face another day overwhelms me.

 

[schopenh]

Yep, because I'm acutely aware in that moment that my suffering is not over and I have to make it through another day.

 

[Squiddy]

Yes I am more suicidal in the morning. It sucks

 

[Amumu]

Yes mate, generally the worse is in the morning and it feels a little bit better after 6 PM. I guess it's a widespread phenomenon.

 

[Sensei]

Yes. It's actually quite common and called morning terrors.

 

[airboy_a380]

Mornings are great to me. It's the afternoons that get harder.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Yes. It's actually quite common and called morning terrors.

I've never heard of morning terrors, only night terrors. It seems like life can just be terrifying overall

I always feel worse just after I've woken up. I get this heavy feeling in my chest after a few seconds of opening my eyes and realising I'm still here. It subsides a bit until its time to try and sleep then I feel like all my thoughts run riot again.

 

[Susannah]

I spend every morning here on ss, to cope the "morning terror". I always wake up really early, about 6. My days are very stressing between 9 in the morning to 8 in the evening. Before I got depressed, I used to embrace mornings, looking forward to do something meaningfull or fun. Now I just long for the evenings, sleep and get some peace.

 

[deadbeat]

It hasn't happened for a week or so now, but for a while ctb was the first thing I thought of every morning. I never really had this issue before even though I've been suffering for most of my life, this year has been pretty hard I guess.

 

[HowardRatner]

Yep, until I manage to get out of the bed I feel like If I had a gun next to me I'd certainly do it. Then I still feel suicidal throughout the day but not as bad as in the morning and It gets worse before I go to sleep.

 

[Blueman]

I find the morning absolutely horrendous. Waking to face another day of gloom.
I suppose by late afternoon things are better and the evening is bearable, and sleep time as long as I can sleep is the best time

Yes, much stronger just after waking up. I wonder why.

 

[Amumu]

Maybe it's linked with the rate of cortisol, higher in the morning
