Absolutely! I suffer severe anxiety disorder & even when it’s under control I have similar symptoms that you describe, especially the anxiety while sleeping. Although it’s pretty much controlled by medication, I still have anxiety & it often causes depression which is sometimes increased by the anxiety medication when taken for too long. For me, medication is very necessary, but it’s only what I consider a boost with the rest on me. I take meds & they enable me to use other, healthier alternatives to relax & therefore reducing the depression as my anxiety is a genetic disorder & I’d rather take old school medication that can be somewhat habit forming to some degree for some than to be a lab rat for new & otherwise too expensive to pay for other than to be in a clinical trial medication. After decades & a constant doctor’s eye, I have been able to remain stable and instead of becoming tolerant to some of this medication & uping doses over the years, I have used it carefully & now take less than ever with the most benefits ever. Now keep in mind that anxiety & depression take a huge toll on the body & mind, therefore leaving you exhausted & feeling like you’re hungover (Everyone’s different), but medication can often make you feel just as bad if not worse. It would be good if you can see a doctor or professional in this field and know that the options are many with medication being lower in rank on the list of things they do these days to help. it’s amazing!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Absolutely. I have been suffering with depression for 6 years now. I have gone through pretty much every level, and am currently experiencing those exact symptoms at this point in my life.

It amazed me that depression can be physically painful as well as emotionally wrenching. I wake up, already feeling listless and have been leaving work early every day for the past week.

It can make you lazy, what you call hungover…the headache, nausea…sometimes feel like you are literally dragging your whole body behind you…

You should definately speak to a doctor about this. I am one who is opposed to the idea of medications to “make me happy”, but in the past 6 months I have decided to start back on my Lamictal to balance my mood swings.

It is a very good choice; side effects are basically unheard of, I never feel over-the-top happy, but I still feel depressed at times. It just kind of tames the “roller coaster”.

If what you are experiencing is kind of situational [breakup, loss of loved one, etc], you may want to still consider talking to your doctor about meds, but also see a psychologist or even a friend that has struggled with something similar and figure out some good coping skills.

I am no doctor, but I have pretty much gone through it all. Breakups, losses, 2 ******* attempts, cutting for 5 years, anorexia, bulimia…I am losing my girlfriend of over a year, and that pain is so unbearable at times. But I have not cut, quit eating or even considered *******. I still can feel the pain, but it is less extreme.

I feel that my years of therapy, as much as you may absolutely despise it, have helped in the long run. Moreso, just confiding in friends about how you are feeling can help dramatically.

Still make a visit to your doctor. Nobody has to feel this way, and it can and will get better.

This may sound a bit weird.Everyone I know has had to deal with this problem.You should get some kind of medicine for a while to see if it helps and make yourself meet someone new or do something new that you haven’t tried before.Try a group meeting of some kind and get your mind off it.I know when I signed up to this bestevermall.com I was less stressed because it’s giving me hope in that I will build a better future and the people in My Power Mall are terrific go to my site At bestevermall.com I really think anything you can do to have a positive attitude will help you.

Just get outside and breathe the crisp December air. Life is too short to feel down. Save it for when you are dead.

when you’re sleeping your brain still works. so yes you can still have anxiety when asleep.
your body is dealing with something that it can’t get away from and that’s where the hungover feeling is coming from. your body is tired and overcomed by anxiety and depression. really the effects of depression and anxiety are worse than alcohol in some ways. atleast alcohol makes you pass out and sleep good.

Yes that is how you will feel, I felt like that for years and I finally went and told my doctor. She gave me Wellbutrin and I feel like a different person.

Yes, it certainly can. Depression can make you feel as if you’re falling apart physically. That said, it’s important when you are depressed to get an exam to make sure everything is physically ok. The 2 are connected. Depression can make physical ailments worse and vice-versa. Hang in there, things will get better. Depression is always worse this time of the year as well.

Yes you can,please check out this book and read “From Panic To Power”
This book saved my life I do believe.Good Luck!

DUDE. you are definitely not alone. I dont even DRINK, and i feel all those ways you described when I wake up. I suffer from depression and anxiety as well. When I am falling asleep I have racing thoughts and for some reason my self-esteem lowers. you aint alone.
