Does the evening depress you?

Post Reply New Topic

It's my favourite time of the day. Also, Autumn's my favourite season.

I like the evening in the summer, it gives me a nostalgic feel of freedom, not any other time though.... It just reminds me that I have to go to school the next day

You can leave me a PM if you wish, I will most likely get around to responding. And if I don't you can feel free to despise me as a human being.

Not at, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite. I feel energized when the sun goes down.
I'll feel dead tired all afternoon, then wake right up shortly after sunset.

It's the morning depresses the hell out of me.

A little bit. Not always, but sometimes it's sort of dark and depressing. I like early mornings when the day is starting. I like night too, but sometimes it's just the day over with things I probably would have liked to do, but didn't.

No, sunlight does. It makes me very tired and I can only spend about a minute outside on a sunny day before I start to lose all interest in living. Being outside at night has the opposite effect, and I can function normally inside during day or night. Very cloudy or overcast days are also bearable but still wear me out physically and make me irritable if I spend very long outside or by a window.

I prefer evening/night.
I find daylight to be obnoxious- bright light grates on my nerves.

As a night person, I love the evenings. They relax me so, people are going home to their families (where they should be) and the day is breathing a sigh of relief as it lays down to rest. All the neon lights in the city glimmer so beautifully when the sun sets on the day and it makes the city a gleaming example of how even something so ugly in the light by day can be so beautiful and colorful... or maybe I just like the PRETTY COLOURS!! !! !! ! =D

Evenings seem to be the time of day when the fog finally lifts and I become more level-headed.

No, as long as I am doing something interesting.

The emotions I attach to sundown and nightfall are melancholy, but I find that beautiful. Sundown has always been my favorite time. Daylight is fading and the day is over, but it's the time for bittersweet satisfaction and appreciation of everything that passed during the day. The transient beauty of all the colors in the sky remind me to appreciate everything before it's gone.

I definitely have some SAD-like symptoms though, more seasonal than time of day. This year in the Seattle area, winter was exceptionally hard on me, and many other people around me reported the same thing to a greater degree than I remembered before. I also personally heard about way more suicides happening locally. Every night for me from about November-February was a battle to pull myself up out of the pit, and some days nothing seemed to help. I ate well, slept well, took vitamins, exercised, socialized, tried to talk positively to myself and took plenty of time for self-care and I still felt like I had a sucking black hole of nothingness in my soul.

I've started taking 4,000 IUs of vitamin D every day, regardless of what I feel like, just to avoid sliding back towards that. Which is the maximum sustainable daily dose as I understand it. It seems like if I miss even one day, I'm right back down in the pit within 24 hours. I can still feel a little blue at 2,000 IUs. We'll see if it gets better now that the sunlight is back.

In my case it depends on the context. If I'm going to work on the following day, the evening time feels very depressing, but if it's the weekend or I'm on holiday, then I feel very relaxed in the eveing. Either way, I think the evening time is the time when feelings become more intense/noticeable than at other times of the day.

Evenings don't bother me. I'm at my best in the morning, bright and early, but I don't get depressed in the evenings unless there was something to cause it.

What gets me is rain. And snow.

Not quite.

For me I think it has more to do with the time of day in relation to my sleep cycle than the actual darkness. In the morning when I get up I'm either neutral or tired but whichever way I am I find my energy rises as time goes on and it peaks at night. If I was neutral in the morning I might be relatively hyper at night. Then when I get to sleep it starts over. I wake up either depressed or flat in the morning and as time goes on I start to rise out of it.

I'm more energetic at night. I'm usually lacking energy in the morning.
