I think at least one reason for it could be simple... Similar to what you said Jerry (hi!), when I'm feeling more depressed, a beautiful sunny day and knowing all that I "should" be doing with it; and how much others are doing with it and look forward to it; can make me feel worse. Whereas a gloomy day when I'm depressed makes the inside and outside of my head feel more in balance.

I also sometimes feel most at ease during "off hours," like if I happen to wake up super early and stay up. It's before the period of hustle and bustle and "normalcy" begins for the rest of the world, so the standards I hold myself to as far as what I'm doing or accomplishing then are lower...

> Hmm not quite sure. Are you saying that some people just respond positively to negative events? I mean - I wouldn't repond in a good way if there was a death in my family. But maybe I am not understanding you.

> Paart of why I feel less anxiety during tthe night is because businesses are closed - no one can sue me for not paying my bills, my landlord can't come knocking at my door to see how messy my apartment is, etc. But during the day - it's horrible - people are working, debtors calling, etc., plus I feel guilty for not being well enough to be out in the "real world" working etc.
