In reply to Nighttime dysphoria and already on meds..., posted by mtdewcmu on December 25, 2009, at 20:05:29
Hi mtdewcmu,
I don't have any suggestions regarding the meds, but I wanted to say that I too have experienced the sinking feeling when the sun sets in winter. It was a lot worse last winter for me. Mine was mixed with a bit of panic.
Are you able to get out a bit? What I found that helped me was being somewhere other than home when the sun set. Like, at a bookstore or coffee shop. I would make sure I was out, distracted by something, between the hours of say 4 and 7. Even if I was alone it helped to be around other people. Anyway, just a suggestion...and wanted to let you know you were not alone.
