Maxime,
I am so glad to hear that your depression has lifted quite a bit, and that you have been doing much better. That is wonderful news. In answer to your question, yes, I sometimes wake up with dark, hopeless thoughts and a sense of dread for no apparent reason. I sometimes wonder if it is caused by flucuations in blood sugar, depending on what I have, or haven't, eaten the night before. I found when I started taking about 400mcg of chromium before bed that it didn't happen (or rarely), except perhaps during the last 3 days or so of PMS. I hate it when it happens. It is so unnerving.

I didn't go to sleep with them, but in the morning they are there. My pdoc says this can happen and it's call the "Bunny Switch" named after the doctor who discover it (I don't know if I spelled his name right).
