Depression and Zombie mornings

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I need some advice. I have the opportunity to do some voluntary work two or

three days a month - which I really want to do - but I have a problem with early

mornings. At the moment I am lucky to have a part time job - afternoons only.

I take 15mg HC, 40mg T3 and 1 grain NDT.

I find it very hard to wake up in the mornings before 8.00. When I do eventually

wake up (I don't properly wake up) I feel shattered and depressed. I stagger

downstairs and make myself a cup of tea and take the first dose of T3 and HC. It

takes me until about 10.30 to 11.00 to feel any where able to do normal things.

With the voluntary work I would have to be there all day - that means leaving

home at 9.00 and driving to be there by 9.30.

I have always been a zombie in the mornings - but I have improved somewhat with

the thyroid and HC medication. I feel as though I will have to turn down this

opportunity because of the way I am in the mornings - it is an all day thing so

I can't do afternoons only.

Has anyone any advice on how I can get up earlier and be more 'switched on'

early morning - and stay that way all day.

B
