I've suffered from depression for many years but recently something new is happening which I've never heard of or seen mentioned anywhere.
Everybody knows about wakening in the middle of the night very low in mood and unable to get back to sleep. That doesn't seem to happen to me much these days, but often I'll awaken after a short sleep, soon after going to bed but sometimes also during the day or in the evening if I fall asleep in the chair, feeling extremely flat: no mental energy and no feelings about anything. On the other hand I can often get back to sleep quite quickly, or at least I'm not lying awake for hours as I used to sometimes.
