Talk to a therapist: It's not unusual for this sort of time related symptom change - many feel the opposite too - mornings are awful, but it gets better during the day. A good therapist can help you target possible issues or refer you for additional physical testing of some sort if there seems to be a medical condition. Try it before drugs that can bring other problems with them. Best wishes.

Circadian rhythms: Cyclic physiological phenomena (including moods) linked to cyclic natural phenomena can be observed in all living things; the most influential being the Earth's rotation. You may get some ideas about how to cope with this by learning about chronobiology; see http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/publications/PENNMedicine/files/spring_2013_living_by_the_clock.pdf.
