I'm new here. I'm on Remeron, Zopiclone, and Clonazepam, and most of my waking hours are filled with seeping dread. Most especially awful are the hours 'tween 4-7pm. Dusk kills me.
Are there specific times when others know their symptoms will be predictably acute?

Hi and welcome here I am glad to see you post. I am sorry for your pain. I find my worse hours are early like when I wake up and as I am a housewife those hours vary. But waking up for a few hours. I am a night person and my demons are fewer by night. I am not full of anxiety daily but its early or when I have been too stressed. I am glad you found this site.Your name...isnt that an old singers name??? HUGS

Kim Carnes, yeah. That was just a non-sequiter. I've no special fondness for her.
I'm so frustrated with the apathy of my doctor and his unwillingness to change what is clearly a failing regimen.
My life is otherwise a bounty of event and good fortune and still I sit on the couch, unmoving, spooked by the waning light. I feel like a Bergman movie. It's so boring and I'm sick of it.

Is she the one who did Betty Davis eyes? I am wondering what kind of doctor you see and if you also see a therapist. I mostly suffer anxiety and found that and valium to be vert helpful. I think the right meds and some therapy for me made a huge differnce in how I viewed a lot of life and feel. Have you told your doc your meds arent helping or seem not right to you? I hope you do it MAY help.

dusk sucks for me too. I go around the house and turn on every light practically. That combats the feeling.
welcome!

Bette Davis Eyes, and that grocery store anthem, More Love.
I've got generalized anxiety as well as severe depression. I've only a meds doc, not a therapist; there seems a dearth of them.

3-6 am, and daylight savings changes it enough (not a whole hour, but enough) that I think it doesn't have much to do with when I go to sleep or when I wake up.
I hate those hours.

I love your name. I love Kim Karnes. I love "Betty Davis Eyes"
Now, to answer your question. I find the hours betwee 4 and 6 to be my worst, most days. When I had my major breakdown a few months ago, I finally went to my reg doctor and she asked me when the panic and dread was the worst. I told her, and I told her some of my situation at home. It was apparent after the words were out of my mouth that I was dreading going home, every day. Dreading more caos, dreading more yelling, and fighting and disrespect and filth. It was consuming me.
I no longer take the anti-anxiety pills and I don't really know if they worked or not. I went to therapy a few times but it didn't work out. I guess this board is now my source of therapy. You are in a good place. Many, many people here are very supportive and friendly.Welcome, AdaGrace

First, welcome to the boards. As far as time of day that I feel worse than others, I don't think I fall into that, meaning it doesn't seem to matter. My depression is boundless and does not favor any hours above others, it plays no prejudice against any hours, it'll consume them all. Aren't I lucky!!! NOT!!!
Anyway, welcome again.
AG
