Is it normal to get depressed at night?

Well, during the school year, when I have to go to bed early, I get depressed. I think it's because of having to be in bed early, and feeling like I have things to do but no time. In the summer I feel amazing and get time to do everything.I need a way (other than pills or a doctor) like a home remedy, to be happy no matter what time of the day. Be nice please(: If you have any type of simallar problem, comment!

    Me too! Its like school is taking my life away and it makes me super sad. I LOVE traveling and exploring the world, it makes me really feel like I'm living my life to the fullest, and during the semester I'm just so busy that I'm stuck in a class all day and chained to my desk with loads of assignments..ughhh!!! :( I totally agree with you

    A lot of things could factor into this. Stressors of school, SAD ( Seasonal Affect Disorder)--depression during the shorter days of winter (during school year).

    I always wind down at night, sometimes to a level of depression. My mother always told me that everything seems worse at night....thus, we have a rule: No heavy conversation after 7:00 PM.

    I think it's pretty common. I usually feel most depressed at night and I think it is because I'm alone with my thoughts and I don't have anything to distract like I would during the day. You can try reading before you go to bed; it makes you feel sleepy and instead of thinking about all things you think you should be doing, you can think about the story you are reading to distract yourself :) Good luck!

    I feel that way too! My way to deal with it is right when I get home I do my homework and all my chores, so then I get the rest o the day to chill.
