The Morning Burden: Depression and Weakness in Myasthenia Gravis
Most of the day, I'm doing relatively okay. Thanks to medication, I'm well enough to get a lot done—certainly compared to how I felt before treatment began.
However, my mornings are terrible.
The morning emotional and physical crash
My emotions are chaotic. I feel profoundly depressed, tired, and even angry at myself. It is hard to plan anything in the morning, and I cannot even be around people without crying.
I suspect part of the problem may be my sleep quality. I have always been a shallow breather, and I worry that I might not be getting enough oxygen at night.
Does anyone have any suggestions for managing this severe morning depression and weakness?
