The vast majority of my anxiety happens at night, and it's currently 9:30pm and I'm heading to bed hoping that I can fix my schedule in a fashion where I wake up early and go to bed early.
I'll probably wake up around 4 am. I love the early mornings. The sky is dark blue (sun is coming up but you can't yet see the rays of light, just dark blue). I always feel good in the morning. It's the nights when I'm being attacked by this.
Goodnite all!

I get night anxiety too. I'm not sure what the reason is for it. I usually take a couple of Benedryl, although I'm sure there's a better solution. My old T always said exercise would solve it. Yeah, well, that would solve my fat *ss too, yet I'm still not doing it.

Wanting to get up early is a sign of not being depressed. Love Phillipa

"Wanting" to get up early? Or just getting up early?
I'm not depressed in the moring, that's why I want to get up early. It is my theory that the (or atleast my) brain operates differently in the morning, less self destructive, less racy, less black and white.
And I'm depressed, although in a somewhat different way most people are (i have an extreme fear of death and the afterlife, I obsess over it), there is no doubt about that.
I just went to bed about 10 minutes ago, but got back up because my mind began racing with scary thoughts. I began to feel really disconnected with reality.
I got back up to post this because reading and posting on this forum really helps me. I don't feel alone here.

Michael I'm truly sorry. As when I had psych testing done they said that the fact that I stayed up late and slept till ll:30am was an indication of depression for me at least.
I know what you mean about the board I do the same thing it engages my mind. Love Phillipa
