I feel super depressed in the mornings.

I was diagnosed with depression and I’ve had it since about the age of 12. I am 25 now. I’ve found ways to manage and I have my highs and lows. My main issue lately has been when I wake up in the mornings I have a strong urge to lay in bed for 1-3 hours and just be on my phone.

I think I have a kind of phone addiction because it gives me dopamine. When I’m alone I want to be on it constantly watching YouTube or reading some mindless stuff. When I get up in the morning that’s usually what I want to immediately do and I also have been eating really unhealthy food every morning.

I go to the gym but this bad “habit” of mine has been eating into my gym time and making me feel overall lethargic to the point I don’t want to go at all. I know I need to just cut out the doomscrolling as soon as I wake up (easier said than done) and I know I’d feel better. This is mainly just a rant but if anyone has any advice or stories they’d like to share, feel free.
