I know I've been a one note poster lately, and I'm sorry. My brain is really just a one note brain lately, and my posts reflect that.
I noticed a long time ago that my anxiety peaks at 3 am or 4 am depending on daylight savings time, regardless of what time I go to bed. My hypomania is probably most obvious late evening to early morning. And now I'm noticing that hopelessness/depression/whatever I'm feeling right now is worst in the mornings.
My whole sleep schedule has shifted since I've been depressed to what the world would view as a much healthier one. I'm normally a night owl, and now I'm an early bird. But the first few (long few, not short few) hours after sleep are a nightmare. I'm lost in hopelessness and despair. By evening I feel almost human, unless a migraine has struck me, and they're mostly striking in the afternoon and evening. And I fall to sleep at what is for me an unusually early hour and wake up to start the whole thing all over again.
Does anyone else experience peaks in emotions like this? Ones that are more related to time of day than events?
