Sometimes when I felt that way, I would force myself to get out and take a walk as soon as the sun came out. (As a woman, I didn't feel safe walking before dawn, when it was still dark.) It helped a little.
Also, I am on Lexapro and Remeron. Other times I have been just on lexapro. Both ways, I haven't gotten that morning despair.
The first time I was severely depressed, I refused to go on meds, and even then, the morning despair eventually lifted on its own, but it took many months.
The second time I was severely depressed, I was like, screw this, I'm not going throught THIS again for months, so I finally agreed to go on meds. I guess it took about a month or so not to have any mornings like that on the meds.
It's a terrible feeling. You are not the only one who has had it.
