Does anyone experience mood fluctuations throughout the day? I wake up with terrible anxiety and depression but when I can manage to get up out if bed and go, my depression often improves within am hour or two. In the afternoon I experience a “slump” which I think is common for most people whether they have depression or not, but I find myself counting down the hours until the sun sets, because I (almost) feel like myself again. I kind of feel like a vampire! I think it’s just a relief to know that I’ve made it through another day and to savor the task I managed to accomplish, and to be “off” for the rest of the evening. “Night me” tends to feel more energized and optimistic about the next day, and I often end up making plans that “morning me” can’t follow through with.
