My anxiety seems worse when it gets dark?

[nianxiousguy]

This will sound weird but its something I notice now especially with dark mornings and evenings. I've been fine all day, its got dark and I feel anxiety starting to run though me again, just that horrible uncomfortable feeling. I was stood at the bus this morning in the dark on the verge of a panic attack, suffering depersonalisation, by the time I got to work the sun had come up and my anxiety vanished and as I say I have been fine all day.

Does anyone else get this?

I’m sort of the opposite, which is probably odd because not enjoying the dark makes much more sense.

But yeah I think this is very normal since sunlight makes you feel good because your body releases different hormones during day I think.

When I am suffering I also suffer more in the mornings and less so at night too

I find my anxiety gets way worse with the darkness also! The winter months are super hard for me

Same, i really blip in the winter months. I hate the feeling, so my meds have been upped just incase.
