Does anyone else get depressed in the evening time? I have therapy and am prescribed meds. But somehow, even with my boyfriend, dog, etc. I get sad at night. Any advice?

It takes time in therapy to undo all the traumas and defense systems we have created through the years.
You must have some sort of negative association with evenings- maybe growing up you had familial conflict then, maybe it's when you felt most worthless?
I have an anxiety disorder which is worse in the morning, and it took me years to understand the family patterns that had fostered it and to undo them.
Some mornings I still have it though.
Take it easy and be patient - lasting changes don't happen overnight.
Good luck!

When it was out of control, I'd smoke weed first thing - but it's not a healthy mechanism, as it makes anxiety worse in the long-term.
I was on meds for almost three years and, whilst it helps, it didnt address the core cause.
In terms of coping mechanisms, exercising first thing in the morning definitely helps. Anxiety is a nervous energy, and burning it helps the mind be more focused and serene.
Plus you sleep better, reducing next day's anxiety.
Hope your dad gets better!

Curious about meds are they worth it

Have you tried switching up the meds or increasing dosage with doctor support? And yes, lots to be coping with right now regardless. Meditation and newer alternative therapies are also being legalized.

Yeah it happens to me. If I go to sleep it’s usually 100% better in the morning and I think it’s being overly exhausted (almost how babies get really sad and cranky when it’s time to go sleep). Also regular exercise (which I’m not getting right now) helps me.

Even with meds and therapy, my mind often races to bad places at night. I will say therapy has helped a lot but I also find that a little edible an hour before bed helps me wind down and put my brain to rest. If that’s something you’re into! That and reading something light until I fall asleep

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know.
