I recently was broken up with by my girlfriend about two weeks ago.  It is definitely a challenging and difficult time, and a moment in life i NEVER want to feel or go through again (though I have said that in the past).  I do not commit easily, and I feel that emotionally and physiologically, I am just not in a great place.  While I don't want to hash out the details of my total misery, anxiety and depression, I did want to ask two questions to this community.  I need your help...I really need your support right now.

My anxiety is sky high at certain time throughout the day.  Of course when I wake up, but also between the hours of roughly 2 and 6 pm.  During the evening, life is not perfect, but I function well and feel better, whether I am with friends, alone or with family.

Does anyone have any idea why this may be the case?  Also, does anyone have any methods to dealing with sleep awakening depression (please tell me this goes away without medical help)? I hate waking up at 5 am, and want my happiness back.  I would do anything to be myself again.

Why does break-up anxiety/depression happen at certain time-points each day, and how can I help defeat sleep awakening depression?
