Mine has many of the same features--the shortness of duration of most of my episodes (like yours) meant I decided I could do without meds for most of my life. It took a major depressive episode of several months for me to finally come around on that issue.
Early morning wakening, panic/anxiety upon wakening, feelings of meaninglessness, and loss of appetite are symptoms of classic depression. I have it and a lot of others on this board do too. You will find lots of good support here.
