I hate nighttime. I get anxious for some reason. I think I fear trying to fall asleep, what’s tomorrow going to be like and feel as usual, today was the same as everyday. I get energy sometimes late, like 9:00. I definitely take advantage and get things done during this time, but I still feel anxiety. I hate this feeling. I get down too. I get quiet and in my head at night. This all starts around 7:00

So sorry to hear that, friend. The night is often the loneliest time for many of us. There are little noises and few people. It leaves our mind wander around and often, it wanders into the wrong place. It happens to many of us so you are not alone :). Just know that you need the rest at night for a productive day tomorrow. Control your mind, walk it into places of positivity and happiness. Ease the struggle with funny and relaxing activity such as watching funny videos or meditation. Good luck, I wish you the best.
Thank you zevietnameseguy98 😊 It’s nice to know I’m not alone. It’s strange though, my mood is better and I’m more productive at night, so I don’t want it to end. It gives me anxiety. Thanks for your response. I like your ideas. It definitely helped.
I think it is interesting that you get anxiety at the same time that you are most productive. Being productive is the best antidote for anxiety for me. Morning is the worst time for me as I wake up, have negative thoughts, and then get anxiety.
I know it’s hard to explain I guess. I just get anxiety early evening because I don’t want it to be tomorrow but then I get energy around 9:00 which I feel good about doing things, but wish I had that energy in me during the daytime.
This happens to me! I've never really figured out how to deal with it. Sometimes I just lay in bed and sort of stare at the ceiling. Sometimes I think it's because I'm afraid of my anxiety getting worse at night, and that's what's causing the majority of my anxiety. Next I start panicking about how late it is and how sleep deprivation "can lead to all sorts of health problems." I don't know if what happens to me is the same as what happens to you, but what I try to do is focus on the morning, which is only a few hours away. Sad to say it usually doesn't help much, though. I know this was probably the most useless comment ever, but I hope you feel better!

No omg I totally relate to thinking “shoot. It’s getting late. If I go to bed too late, I’m going to lose sleep and feel like crap in the morning.” You commenting made me feel better too. I know it’s hard to give advice when you feel the same way. It’s really just about responding and speaking from the heart and saying your truths. I appreciate it more than you know 🙏🏼
I feel the same. Night time is the worse for me. I always get this lonely depressed feeling that sinks in. I'm usually busy during the day but as soon as I get in my room that's when it hits me and I'm up in my head thinking. I've felt this way for a long time now.
I hope things get better for you.
Hello Maria!
You’re more than likely thinking too much! Don’t worry about the past or the future...live in today only. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Staying in your head and thinking too much isn’t good for depression/anxiety. Looking back produces depression and looking forward produces anxiety. Try living in the moment...🌞🌷🌞
