My mood gets better as it gets darker

[Parnate]

I feel bad throughout day, but as the sun starts setting and it gets darker I start feeling better . Anyone has similar depression?

Darkness is soothing. The world gets quieter and naturally you feel calmer. Always been that way for me. I would imagine it's pretty common.

I have completely blocked all light from entering my window to keep my room as close to "night time" as possible. You are absolutely not alone.

 

[divinemistress36]

Yes, I hate the sun. Im more depressed in Summer

Had done this to my windows to avoid others neighboors spying. Can't deny i miss the good wind for early morning but the way i was felting like walls of other windows peeking through mine was terrifing enough for me to close.

Here the summer is the captivating hell for me since all day getting stuck on a 40 degree celsius room with a little vent to cover is enough to give the taste the worst season. As the night comes it gets cold and the silence of the mutual bad voices outside vanish. Sometimes not wit their sick parties and laughings of disrespect. Many times thats why i try to sleep later around midnight or more to avoid those sick voices. Sometimes using binaural music to sleep on my ears. It's good to be a insmoniac every night but then consequences arrises later on. I love the night and winter and surely it gives me the temporary comfort i need on my drastic times. A cold shower then a bed time on those turns were always aliviating!

I'm the complete opposite. Find the sun so calming and relaxing, would like to ctb while looking at the sun and blue sky too.

 

[3rdworldsadness]

Yes. And it's always hazy where I am.

I love the night, the fog and the cold. I understand you. The Sun makes me sleepy and numb

 

[areyousafe??]

There is less people around when it gets dark. I'm able to relax (and recharge) more at night and hence my mood improves.

Me too. I enjoy to be alone when it's raining in the evening.

 

[L'absent]

Me too. I enjoy to be alone when it's raining in the evening.

I also really love the rain, in addition to the cold and the night. There's something special about those moments, as if silence and solitude bring a peace I can't find anywhere else. Watching the rain, hearing its sound, gives me a deep sense of calm, as if the world slows down for a while. It's nice to know that you feel this same connection with the silence and the landscape the rain brings.

Same here! I like how you connected that with deep sense of calm. For some reason I thought I'm like that because of my depression. I also like the darkness. Not super dark but not bright spaces either. If the tv is on that's enough light for me if I'm laying down or playing games

We have a blizzard set to arrive with force in the next 48 hours. I am really looking forward to going for a walk with literally nobody around. I have the perfect playlist for it as well.

 

[fkyou]

Same I still want to do it at night..but you know ..mfs can't even let us have a peaceful death

I felt the same way!

Brought it up to my psychiatrist. She explained to me that this is due to borderline. She said when it comes to bipolar, you cycle through moods for a period of time, that is typical. But with borderline you cycle through moods throughout the day (ranging from euphoria to despair and suicidal thoughts).

Not saying it's the case for you, but just wanted to share a perspective.

 

[everydaythesame]

Completely agree, i feel safer at night time as i feel their are less people to hurt me. The sun depresses me.

 

[cali22♡]

I am not a psychologist but this sounds very much like a vitamin D deficiency

 

[human909]

yeah it's usually the time when my feeling come back to me, i can cry and laugh at the same time, while at day i am depressed i can't even smile properly.

 

[Parnate]

I am insufficient in vitamin D

 

[lawlietsph]

Yes, absolutely. I actually made a thread last year about this. The sunshine makes me want to die, and I mean literally - seeing the sun actually makes me want to die and I have no idea what's the reason for it.
At night, I am in piece.
Summer days are awful, horrible.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wouldn't say that I feel bad during the day but I don't care either. However, I do feel significantly better during nighttime because everybody is asleep and it's just me alone. The night is so peaceful though for me it isn't as peaceful as non existence

 

[clementinemelocotón]

Yes fr same. I love the night as it's peaceful and I can just be in my own thoughts

 

[dontwakemeup]

I have completely blocked all light from entering my window to keep my room as close to "night time" as possible. You are absolutely not alone.

Omg, I thought I was the only person who does that!
I can understand why you would feel better at night. I simply love the darkness, it's my favorite time of the day. I can finally take off the facade and embrace my loneliness, sadness without anyone interrupting me.

 

[Phosphorous 4]

I hate the sun lol this is why why winter is the best, less day time.

 

[squidsponge]

It happens to me the exact same way and I am also wondering what could be the reason as I don't have any apparent feelings towards day or night. I'm just severely depressed with panic attacks
