🧵 Sundowning
Anonymous at Wed, 22 May 2024 07:33:04 UTC No. 16187456
As soon as the sun sets, with extremely regular and precise timing, my mood will drop heavily. My depression, anxiety, and loneliness are amplified by 3x. It happens with such regularity and correlation to the sun setting, that I swear it is biological and not just psychological. I looked into it, and it is a symptom of dementia, but I'm 99% sure I don't have that. Do any of you /sci/entists know anything about this? Any ways to prevent it or reverse it?

The sun doesn't even rise where I live for much of the year. Try living here, you loser.
