Yeah, i tend to get more depressed/anxious in the later hours of the day too...although i'm not sure why. I think i read somewhere once that it's because your body starts to get tired and its deffences are lowered or something like that. Feel free to correct me if i'm worng anyone.
Hope your ok. Take care .xx
i get really bad at night.
some days i feel the same the whole time but mostly at night.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

I usually feel that way in the evenings as well with the exception of being in a stressful situation during the day or if I am dreading something the next day, as I'll wake up feeling like that.
Definitely not alone in this. My mood seems to slide down as the day goes on and I seem to get my depressive dips in the evening, and my psychologist acknowledges this. It used to be in the early hours of the morning too but I dont stay up that late any more (thank god)!
I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I'm glad to find a discussion about it.
For me, mid to late afternoon is the worst. I think that's part biology and part history. I'm a morning person so tend to wake up cheerful. I have a natural dip in energy levels in the afternoon.
The history is that I grew up in a very abusive home. So even though I finished school and left my parents home 18+ years ago, my internal clock still associates "going home from school time" as the time of day when things are really bad emotionally.
My husband is my best friend.
In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
Yeah, I tend to feel worse in the morning and usually at around 2 o'clock onwards for some reason. What can help is to simply remind yourself that you won't always feel so bad and try to take it easy and do something that isn't going to make you feel worse.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I see figures in my room and they sometimes talk to me, when I am in bed trying to sleep. It mainly happens then but my anxiety is in the day time as I am anxious about meeting people and going out.

I experience this horribly. I've read quite a few things that may cause it, but here's my slightly backed-up theory.
I think that our body starts winding down at a particular point in the day. It may be 5pm, 8pm, 11pm. Mostly it occurs in the afternoon/night, because that's when our brain is preparing for rest/sleep. Our body is basically relaxing. While a person may not feel tired enough to sleep, I think this process continues to take place and go relatively unnoticed. For a person who experiences a lot of stressors in their life, this process opens up the flood gates. As your body and mind relaxes, feelings that you've held back through the day, whether it be concious or unconciously held back, come forth and are expressed.
My old therapist always said that no matter what, I could not escape my emotions; they come out no matter how hard I try to contain them. I strongly believe in the above theory myself, but it is just a theory. Personally, I tend to hold it together so well in the day, but the key term "hold it together" speaks volumes. Instead of letting it out, I keep it in. So, it has to come out sometime, and nighttime seems to be free on the schedule :P

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Especially as I've just come through a 2 week therapy break...
i get worse in the evening and especially around the early hours of the morning. Insomnia drives me nuts cos it is during this time that i get suicidal and self harming thoughts.
I get worse in the evenings/night and once I "go down" I usually stay down until I can finally sleep which is sometimes early early morning. I think for me part of it is that I've only ever SH-ed in the evenings or at night, at that ties in to the fact that I'm in school the rest of the day. Even when I'm home alone the only time I can really let down my guard is once everyone else is sleeping--otherwise someone catches on that I'm not really as ok as I say I am. So evenings are worse because I make them that way--it's the only time I let myself feel. But I read that it's partly biological too. Nice to know I'm not the only one.
