> During the day my mood is generally pretty low..if i'm not at school I generally asleep all day and really have no interest in anything..At night..for what ever reason I cheer up and my mood lifts somewhat.. DOes this happen to anyone else...any explanations?/


Hi Mike,

I have exactly the same thing. I don't know how it will be on my new meds (Cymbalta) but for a long time now, I would feel low and grim and tired all day. The bad feeling would peak in late afternoon. When it starts to get dark, I start to feel better. Sometimes it's very distinct - I can actually feel a sharp change, like a sigh of relief as I feel it lift.

I think it might have to do with cortisol levels? I understand that feeling better at night is common in depression but I don't think I've ever really heard an explanation of why. I think I'll ask my pdoc next time I see him.
