DAE become afraid when it grows dark?

r/

I don’t mean scared of imagined things that go bump in the night.

I mean: sad, depressed, worthless…scared of some unnamed feeling, some hidden idea that I should never have been born…something I feel lying in wait within my bones…something I spend every waking hour trying not to feel, consciously or unconsciously. The real me, the void at the center of my being.

You, know, that? Anybody?

    This is called ‘sundowners syndrome’ and a lot of people are affected by this. Especially those with mental health problems, elderly, and even people with adhd, autism. Its a thing, you are not alone

    No I do. If I’m stressed it happens more but regularly it is after 4pm. I am lazier, want to do more personal things (not responsible), and sadness. It’s like my confidence drops.
