When I was depressed, I would wake up every morning around 3:30 or 4 with a feeling of complete dread, despair and surreality (is that a word?). I felt like a raven was sitting on my chest, with its black wings covering my heart.
pdoc tried to explain why this early morning awakening happens, but the descrip V posted above did a really good job of it.
FYI, I don't get that anymore. I am on an SSRI/remeron combo and also in therapy.
It is one of the worst feelings in the world to wake up incredibly anxious and depressed, to feel those awful feelings before your brain even starts to think.
Unfortunately it is common.
