@applepie Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! While we wait for others to give us their experiences, let me give you some thoughts.

Are you taking any medications? If so, does the depression and anxiety coordinate with the timing of those? Do you exercise in the morning, gaining the dopamine effect that it can bring, and lowering your feeling of depression? Is there something in your daily schedule that you don't want to do/participate in, that makes you feel sad? I think there are several factors that you can look at, that might be causing what you are experiencing. Good for you for trying to understand what is going on.

Thank you for the note. I don't currently take meds. I (this week) was prescribed an SSRI (Lexapro 10MG), but I haven't yet started. I'm hoping I can delay a bit and try to fix through lifestyle and if not, will try the SSRI.
