> If I stay up late the day is shorter. A sign of depression I think. Something about thinking the day is over. Plus I usually function better at night. When I wake-up it's always the thought. What am I going to do today. Don't know how to just chill. Get highly anaxious thinking like this. Back to depression/anxiety. Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa
That definitely rings true for me too, the thought or worry that the day is over. For myself, I can trace that feeling back to two things as a child. Firstly, I would feel that way at the end of Sunday evening bacause of school the following day, and also near the end of Summer break for the same reason. I hated school.
Secondly, I'd get it when my father would set off back home (again on a Sunday) after his fortnightly visit after my parents devorced. I still feel sad on a Sunday evening no matter what.
But I want to point out that depression has little to do with my current sleep problem (thankfully). In fact I'm more likely to avoid sleep 'deliberately' if I'm feeling particularly good, hence why 'I dont want it to end'.You sound quite down Phillipa. Are you finding things particularly hard at the moment? Excuse my apparent ignorance, I haven't been on the board for a while. I wonder what I might have missed. Feel free to babblemail if you like.
Take care.teck
