Agreed many people feel worse in the morning but have got to say at night it is terrible for myself, especially the loneliness  sometimes I find myself shedding a few tears  as my mind goes into overdrive thinking about how a loner I am etc.

yep, as the day goes by it is worse, in the morning its easier to stay in a warm bed and hopefully sleep a little longer, but then waking up and the bad thoughts of how crap things are start to grow

I think this is the reason I find myself here in the evenings on most occasions. For some comfort and empathy xxx

i guess thats right Stacey, just being able to put down how we feel, and knowing there are others out there who can understand, and most importantly will not criticise us

I have real issues getting off to sleep... The only way I can describe what happens in my mind as I try and drift off is "chattering". Total overdrive of absolutely anything and everything my brain suddenly decides to throw at me - whether its something from that day or something random from 5 years ago.

Then, when I finally do get to sleep, it's never enough. I get anxiety dreams that wake me up periodically, worrying. Often its totally random things like being at uni and finding I had a piece of coursework due in for a module I didn't even know I was on and I suddenly have to do it with no knowledge of the subject. I then wake up stressed and too wired to get back to sleep...  I graduated uni 5 years ago!! I have no idea where this random stuff comes from. It's almost like if there is nothing legitimate to worry about, then my sleeping brain invents something to "get me" instead.
