Linkadge, my heart goes out to you and I want you to know that I have at least some insight into some of what you're going through. My illness has always largely been defined by a worsening during the night into the morning and when I started taking drugs it got exponentially worse. I have had times when I would build up through the day to a point where would sometimes feel kinda good by the evening, only to be back at the bottom and severely depressed (both physically and emotionally) after a nights sleep. Sleep does something terrible to me and it has gotten worse through the years and with exposure to meds. I too have sometimes actually been scared to go to bed at night for fear of the terrible time I invariably have the following morning. It is extremely, extremely demoralizing and I've never found a medical professional that has done more than merely nod is some sort of vague acknowledgement. It sucks.
