I had a similar sort of problem for many years -- before ever taking any anti-depressants. In those years, I was very depressed, and anxious, and had nightmares EVERY night. I dreaded going to sleep, had horrible insomnia, and woke up upset every morning.

On the other hand, although there was a lot of dread of going to sleep, there wasn't fear per se on waking. That might likely be related to your diurnal cortisol release pattern. That's something to talk to your doctor about, maybe get it tested. Basically, your body releases cortisol to prepare you to wake up, so you may be kinda overdoing that process, eh? Do talk to your doctor about it, see if you can get tested.

Good luck.
