Why do emotions so easily become so overwhelming at night?

@UndeadPrivateer I think I take a bit of comfort in the fact ik not alone you know. Like when I read your stories or questions and take a little peace that I'm not on my own.

@Gangstress It's nice to know that there are people who understand what you're going through, I definitely empathize there. I'm happy to consider you a friend. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

@UndeadPrivateer same my friend 🤗🤗🤗🤗😘

@SW-User This is very true.

@SW-User The brain has a funny way of winding down by amping things up to 11.

@UndeadPrivateer the brain becomes calm and you begin thinking about things you avoid thinking about

@SW-User I can't say I avoid thinking about things much, I'm more of a directly-facing-uncomfortable-realities sort. Nor that things pop into my head at night that don't other times. Just that emotional waves seem to hit harder and breakdowns happen faster. 🤷‍♀️

@bijouxbroussard Same. It's a well documented thing in the medical industry too, though the reason it happens isn't well understood. It's really dramatic for dementia sufferers in particular and is referred to as "sundowner syndrome."
