Yes, my experience for as long as I can remember. My depression is the worst in the morning, gets better throughout the day and then I'm usually OK at night. Perk up around 10pm and then have trouble sleeping. Some theories say that it's a dysfunction in the cortisol/DHEA cycle, or primarily, that cortisol rises and peaks at night instead of in the morning.
Zo, you've been very helpful in confirming my BPII diagnoses. Anything you'd like to add to the pieces in the puzzle would be appreciated. - Barbara
