Why Do I Always Get Depressed at night?
Its like clockwork for me. I get depressed at around 9ish and it sticks with me till i fall asleep. Things I think about when Im depressed: Im 16, I think of how I can't get a girlfriend. Im a varsity wrestler at my school, so I don't know why I don't. People really do like me, Im one of the most popular kids in school (was duke this year in homecoming) and yet still no girl wants to go with me. I get even more and more feelings of suicide by the night but I know Ill never act on them, so it makes me feel even worse. I also think about my school career. I have pretty bad grades so I dont think Im gonna end up going to college, which is an expectation from my parents..
Why do I get depressed at night?
You may have an issue with SADS which has to do with light sensitivity. You need sunlight to feel happy. Vitamin D will help with that.It could also be because you are not as active. When we stop moving around and sit our thoughts about our life may surface. You have more time to reflect in the evening. Just notice what you feel and allow it to come up, feel it fully and it will pass.I don’t know if you live alone, but that could also be an issue for you. During the day you have people around you and at night you may find yourself quiet and alone. Being alone with your thoughts gives you time to reflect. You may not like what you are thinking.I have found that if we ask questions instead of making statements in our head that we can turn things around pretty quick. For instance:What is it about my day or life that is coming up right now?Am I feeling sad, because I am alone?Am I feeing sad because I feel regret?Am I feeling sad/depressed because ____________?How could I feel better about my life?How could my life get any better?How could I be any happier than this?Asking questions opens doors while making statements closes them. Try this questioning and see how it works for you.
I feel horribly depressed at night but fine in the day?
I'm a high-school student on medication for depression. At school, I generally feel fine, I mean, there are every day ups and downs but it's not like horrible "blame self for everything" depression. At night, its all different and I feel miserable and angry and sad. I am also in a long distance relationship which makes the situation a lot worse. I can hardly sleep! I have no one to talk to at night and even if I did -- how would I explain the depression? It's just pointless sadness which I can't help. During the day, I always say to myself "it would never be worth the trouble of getting my parents to take me to the doctor, because I'm happy now anyways." How do I cope...? Has anyone had a similar experience?
Why does sunlight depress me?
I am sometimes get depressed when the sun is out. It's not like really serious depressed, it's just something that makes me feel really sad, but when it is night time and the moon is out, I get really happy. And during the day when it is really cloudy I don't feel depressed. It's really weird. And so my curtains are transparent so I decided to get a black blanket to cover up all of the sunlight. I don't even feel as energetic when the sun is out and all bright, but during the night, especially during a full moon I get so energetic that I just run around outside and play with my dog. And whenever a friend comes over they always ask me why I like it so dark in my room and I have to explain to them that when it is really bright I start to get depressed, and they say that it's really weird and odd. So why is this? Whenever the sun is out everybody's all like, oh it's such a beautiful day, but it's completely the opposite with me. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate the sun, it's just that during the afternoon when it is super bright, I get all sad. So why is this? I feel like I'm the only one who feels like this. Do you feel like this sometimes?

Why does depression get better at night?
Hi,For years, I thought it was just me. The Morning Depression affected me to the point that I refrained from answering emails and taking phone calls before noon. The negative self-talk would wake me around four AM so that I hated myself and the world by the time my alarm went off. The "Dark Cloud of Doom" would suddenly lift around eleven AM and I would morph back into mild-rmannered Doctor Jekyll.Regular SSRI anti-depressants helped me sleep without nightmares, but had no effect on the Morning Depression. Then one day, I found this article on the Healthline.com website: http://www.healthline.com/health.... (Please read it for details)It turns out that Morning Depression is a distinct variety of depression that requires different medications and treatments than typical depression. Here is a quote from that article:Unlike other forms of depression, morning depression doesn’t respond well to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs are commonly prescribed antidepressants that can help ease symptoms. However, serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as venlafaxine (Effexor) may be helpful for people with morning depression.I took that information to my doctor. But before we dove into changing my SSRI medication, my doctor had me undergo a GAP Test (genetic assisted prescribing test) About The Gap Test. That screened my genes against a database of leading medications to determine if Effexor would be a could match for me.The GAP Test gave us the green light to try Effexor. The results were significant for me. The GAP Test works so well that most major health insurance covers it. My insurance did, but you will want to be safe by asking your insurer beforehand.I'm sitting here writing this in the morning just after taking Effexor. See? I'm writing in the morning! There's no guarantee that you'll have the same results as me, but please read those linked articles and see if you agree that it's something worth exploring.
