When does your depression peak?
Hiya Everyone,
Depression is a constant thing but when would you say it becomes the toughest for you?
I'd say from around 6pm onwards my depression ups by around 20%.
What about you?

@blossombreathe I have observed that whenever something "unpleasant" / "against my wish happens", my depression rises up a notch. I worry a lot more and become upset for not being Able to control the situation. ...hugs.
@Mrcheeku
Yes, I understand. When something happens against your wishes, you may feel out of control which makes depression rise. *huggles* Thank you for sharing! 
Stay strong. 
@Mrcheeku
I agree with this as well. In a general sense I have it in the mornings the most, especially if I haven't got enough sleep. Anxiety can also be triggered as a result.
I am so stressed out. It's been one and a half year and my ex suddenly decided to text me again and started talking. I just delete her from FB and got rid of her number so I wouldn't have to think about her anymore. I really hate her and now I'm so angry and anxious.
@FantasyChapters
Awh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. Maybe take a nice break. Take a walk, sit by the window and breathe in the fresh air and focus on something else. You'll be okay!
My depression peaks sometime before bedtime, starts in the morning and gradually increases
@jr50
Ah, I see. So as the day goes on... your depression increases.
From 9am to 9pm. Nights never bothered me but daytime... Meh.
@Wildatheart88
Ah, that's interesting! Normally my depression is worse during the night. Thank you for sharing! 
@blossombreathe Night time is the hardest for everyone that I know. Maybe it's because I was never alone at night..? Always had a cat or dog beside me..?
My depression is worst in the mornings and during holiday seasons. I also have a bit of SAD though its not usually very bad
@krissylynn2
Ah okay, SAD is annoying, isn't it? Thank you for sharing, it's really interesting to see how much it varies. Stay strong!
@blossombreathe
I'd say it peaks when I go to bed and when I wake up. I have usually clearly the least depression in the late evening before going to bed (a couple hours maybe). I'm the most anxious from waking to 8PM or so and depressed the whole day excluding the couple hours before bed.
@6sincere
When you go to bed and when you wake up. Maybe that has something to do with letting your mind wander? If we haven't anything to think about, our mind can sink into dark places. Stay strong!
My depression tends to peak earlier in the week and go down closer to the weekends. I think part of this is because I don't really like my job all that much, so I end up feeling more upset and irritable at the beginning of a work week. The time of day doesn't seem to have an influence as far as I can tell.
It does fluctuate a bit, depending on how busy I am as well. If I have a day off with nothing to do but letting my mind wander, then my depression is more likely to peak, as opposed to keeping myself busy with something.
@quietDime4559
Ah okay, so as you don't like your job, you find it upsetting and tiring. So later in the week, it decreases. I understand. Depression really can fluctuate, especially after a tough day too! Thank you for sharing, stay strong.
@blossombreathe Come to think of it, I find my depression tends to be stronger in the morning because I am dreading/fearing what kind of day I will have, whereas in the evenings I have a sense that "well, I survived the day, so things aren't so bad then!" It definitely fluctuates based on external circumstances (such as whether I have a stressful day at work, who I spend time with, and so forth), but it is generally harder to deal with in the mornings.
@quietDime4559
Ah! That's understandable. In the morning you have lots of worries about the day and may also be dreading the things you have to do. Whereas at nightime you feel like you've "survived the day" Awesome observation, thank you!
@blossombreathe Hey, thank YOU for asking the question! I don't know if I would've realized it if I hadn't been asked! :)
My depression is also constant. However I think it's at its worst once after 8pm especially during the winter.
@Shadeshack
Same with me, later during the day it seems to get a lot worse. The weather affects how I feel a lot too! Thank you for sharing, stay strong.
My depression comes on in Winter, particularly at night. In fact... it's the only time I am depressed. Seasonal affective disorder (i guess)
@ChromeLotus
Seasonal Affective Disorder is horrible. You know it's coming and there is nothing you can do about it. I am so proud of you for staying strong through tough times, keep it up! I believe in you. *huggles*
@blossombreathe
Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate that 🙄
My depression varies and come and goes unexpected...It geneuinely is the toughest thing to deal with because like one minute you can be all happy and boom depression just hits you...
@ChloeTheDuck
Ah okay, so your depression can come out of nowhere. That must really suck. Stay strong lovely!!
