I don't know if I am depressed or not. This is complicated because of possible connective tissue disease (lupus)So I don't know what symptoms are due to what. I am just thinking at this point. I have been noticing that I feel better at night, but not always. This is when I have felt "off" and foggy all day. Like I'm not all here. But this has never seemed related to loss of self-esteem or sadness. But, believe me, I have wondered if it could be related to a mood disorder and not lupus. I remembered reading somewhere about a type of depression that lifted by evening, but cannot remember what about it!
I go to bed around the same time every night and get up at the same time every am. I have not tried light therapy. Don't have time in my schedule for it anyway.
Some evenings I am likely hypomanic. I am, at what I consider my normal, hyperthymic. I don't think I have SAD. I am not ADHD. My energy is very focused and organized.
Thanks for the ideas.
