This is how I deal with it. I schedule myself one hour a day to rock and cry and feel the anguish. When the situation hits any other time, I take a deep breath and remind myself that my feelings are valid and that I can accommodate them at the scheduled time. If I do not use this allotted time for its' purpose, and decide " I don't need that today," well, it always comes back and bites me in the butt.

Thank you for your kind words vicky3vicky. I have to admit the idea of rocking and crying just made me smile. I think I'll employ that technique today!
As an aside, married to a wonderful woman, but somehow she just doesn't satisfy me. That's on me, and i'm trying to change my attitude about that. She does nothing wrong, does everything right, and is the greatest. I'm just an unhappy person and no one could meet my stupid, unreal, expectations...
i love getting up in the morning and know i am in our own bed, in our own house, and that makes me thankful everything is good. i plan my day as i get up and have many things to look forward to doing. or some days nothing at all, like today, and that feels delicious!
I have never really been a morning person. Just the thrill of no alarm does great things for me. I feel no better and no worse than I did when I was 30... So far!

Smoke some weed...? I'm not kidding. I know two older folks who suffer from chronic, longlasting depression who got a medical OK, and they're doing much better. It's not for everyone, but maybe.
I have always been a morning person, but--despite that reality--I used to have a few minor aches and/or stiffness when I awoke in the morning. Then, a few months ago, I decided to treat myself to one of the more sophisticated Sleep Number mattresses.
By adjusting the firmness of that mattress to my own preferences, and also by using the various options to elevate and tilt the mattress (as well as the massage feature), I no longer have any aches or stiffness when arising. That mattress, along with its adjustable base, was the best $8,000 that I ever spent.
