Stacia.... I personally think that the complete breakdown at night is due to the fact that we bottle up all those "bad" emotions. To the point of losing it after everyone else goes away. I definitely feel for you.... I used to self mutilate too, and I know what it feels like to go through those stages.
I also think that pretending could be a stage of your depression, I eventually hit the point where I didn't care what everyone else thought and acted like my self completely- depressed, panic stricken & all.
When I finally stopped pretending I really found out who cared and who didn't though- even people I didn't know.
Stay strong.
