For me it is early morning and the beginning of yet another day when my "icky meter" is registering an (8)

I was once an early riser and took great joy in seeing the sunrise and a new day begin, but the last couple years as I age into my later 40s, I have noticed a very intense wave of depression/anxiety that lingers until about noon then slowly subsides into my "normal" manageable dull depression. I believe I am also suffering from situational depression as well?
Chime in folks...
