My depression exerts itself as a permanent tension in my body. It is a feeling of something on top of me, holding me back, making me feel attacked. It is what I experienced growing up with my mother, but it became (very quickly, I think, probably by the time I was a young child) biologically based. My depression also gets worse at night, when I most need rest and can never seem to get it. If I had to guess, I would say my cortisol shoots up at night (from say, 7pm to 3am) making me more tense and anxious.
