Has anyone else noticed that anxiety and depression seem to have different points during the day were symptoms manifest. It may be different for others, but it appears to me that depression is teher to great you in the morning and anxiety comes around after your get out of bed and start moving.

I think the challenge is that iut is so hard to conceptualize life being different (i.e., without anxiety, etc.)

It depends on how your depression and anxiety are recognized.

Good for you to write it out!

It’s kind of like a loop. Depression feeds anxiety and anxiety can cause depression. I try to journal and do relaxation exercises to break the cycle. Wishing you peace and serenity.

My depression has always been worse at night. Probably because my mind has lest to occupy itself with. Anxiety happens throughout the day in some form.

Depression is not a daily trial for me. There is room to debate that I don't suffer depression so much as I worry myself to exhaustion. The line between depression and exhaustion is fuzzy, at best.

As for my anxiety, I have gone through at least a few rounds of predictable daily patterns. The patterns are typically indicators of where my problem spots are and help me make the small changes to help me regain my balance.

And --of course-- as soon as I find my answers, along comes the new questions. Always something, huh?

I have always noticed that my anxiety if worse when I wake up in the mornings. It's a new day and new things to worry about. Plus my GAD doesn't help and my Social phobia and APD doesn't help either. I start feeling a little better towards night since it's getting later and darker so I can relax some.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
