Even when I haven\u2019t wanted to be, I have managed to still be here, and that is no small feat. If that is you, if you feel like all you\u2019ve managed today is to still be here through a night when you wanted otherwise, please know there is no small victory in that. There is large, loud, celebration-style victory.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly, I had the opposite feeling about night time when I struggled with depression. Night time was the one time I could actually be quiet, and at peace. There wasn&#8217;t anyone else around to pretend for, no one else to impress, or hide from. I could just relax, and feel safe, because there was no one else around.<\/p>\n<p>Now, part of the is being a child abuse survivor, and part of that is because I&#8217;m simply different than Robert is, and so my mental health needs take on a similar, but not exactly the same, set of problems. Yes, my mental health is at risk when I&#8217;m tired and lonely, but when it&#8217;s the middle of the night, being lonely feels somehow normal. It&#8217;s when I feel lonely in the middle of a crowd that I&#8217;m in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>How about you?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themighty.com\/2016\/06\/depression-feeling-lonely-and-tired-at-night\/\">http:\/\/themighty.com\/2016\/06\/depression-feeling-lonely-and-tired-at-night\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Because as much as I hate the night, as much as the darkness weighs on me and maybe on you, as much as I rail against the quiet and the still and the loneliness, this remains fact: The sun does rise.
