@freecompliments: A lot of these resonate with me I've been through it myself. Mornings can suck in general, and they are even worse with depression. I think the chemical is serotonin (dopamine can be slightly involved but it's rarely the primary one). Anyway, if there's anyone that you come across on Hive who lacks support, please send them over to the FreeCompliments Community! From the very beginning, we wanted to establish a focus on mental health, and being a shoulder to lean on for someone who's alone would be a great service that we can provide.
