So I woke up around noon. Went and got a coffee. They messed it up but I didn’t mind since I woke up with a positive attitude for change. I went and got a new phone, went and got a bbq chicken sandwich really enjoyed it and some roasted potatoes too. Everything is going fine, watched a movie I wanted to see ‘was a little disappointed in it’ but still going good. All of a sudden I get that anxious feeling and my mind starts messing with me. That’s when the depression popped up. I don’t know why it just did. Now I’m going to eat a bag of peanut butter cups. The whole bag and hope I snap out of it. I just don’t understand anymore. It’s like after 10 pm I’m always feeling down. Like I’m a reverse vampire or something. Now I’m thinking damn winter is coming and it’s going to start getting dark sooner and it really hits me at night time. It’s weird I tell ya just weird. Oh well to the Reese’s

Isn't it incredible how it just pops up out of nowhere, when as you said, you can have a perfectly good day going on. I myself have eaten and eaten. I'm so fed up with myself. I don't drink or do any drugs but I guess you could say food is my vice. Now I feel all bloated and gross. I'm not supposed to have much salt but I ate a bunch of chips. *sigh* You're not alone at least . . . .

Well enjoy one for me since I can’t have sweets!

Kudos for you working towards a more positive attitude. Sometimes our minds just do that. Things are going well and then the negative thoughts come. Just keep speaking against them when that happens.

Ironic how my day started off similar (went for a large espresso) and later had a bout of depression/immense feeling of loneliness. Maybe we should put down the caffeine! Hugs

its kind of hard to understand why you feel like you do, but i'll make a stab at it and use only my intuition, i have a good one. it tells me your bored with your life and wish for something more, to day was an example of that and nothing fit up to your standards, maybe you feel your life is incomplete like having that spiecial person there, doing things by your self only reminds you how lonely you truly are. so find that person join an online dating service it works for me. WELL tell me if my hunch was right. tried to help.

If you take a sleeping pill every night BEFORE 10pm you won't be depressed because you'll be asleep, or save the movie watching for 10 pm then go to sleep right after the movie.

Annie your close. I’m not alone really but I am definitely bored with things. Maybe more fed up I would say. I kind of got stuck with a lot of things that I should have help with, yet the people who should be helping only chastise from afar.
Invisible I take two three Benadryl and a muscle relaxer every night around 9-10 and it helps for sure but it’s not foolproof.
It’s just funny that come that time of night I get those feelings.
