The only times I ever get angry is when someone I like is getting slighted. Other than that I’m very calm all the time

I’m usually grumpy in the morning and feeling rarher down until 15-16, after that my mood gets a lot better, evenings and night time is best for me. If I have to wake up really early I feel just empty.

Elvanse can make the afternoon crash worse and it also causes a depression hour at around 17, I’ve tried taking half the dose in the morning and half mid-day and it seems to help with the crashes but it also makes the quality of my sleep worse…

Not at all. Early morning just after waking up is when I’m grumpiest by far.

When I’m tired, yeah. Anger is a “cheap” way of paying attention to something, and our brains default to it when attention is otherwise difficult.

Yeah, easier to get both angry and desolate in the evenings/nights. Also far more likely to give in to temptations, like trash food, candy, alcohol…

After a long day of being in control of oneself and making good choices, that ability gets worn out. It’s worse if I’ve had to face a lot of stress or (mentally) say no to a lot of temptations or make a lot of decisions. At the end of the day I have no more "no"s to give myself.

It also gets markedly worse if I haven’t slept, eaten, drank, been outside or taken sufficient breaks that day.

There’s also the hormonal aspect, where hormones fluctuate on a daily cycle, which I think might be the reason I crash and want a nap in the afternoon, and get hungry around 23 regardless of if I just ate or not, and is the most focused and calm before noon.

No, that belongs to the morning part of the day. Night belongs to sadness.

I get more anxious

Probably not relevant, but for awhile, I was taking Adderall and I realized it would send me doooooown in the evenings when it was wearing off. Vyvanse fixed that, in that instance.

Broadly speaking, I think it’s somewhat normal to get a little down at night, maybe? You’re tired/weary, you’ve worked all day, seems somewhat normal, within reason. But it could also be attributable to a lot of things besides just “the night,” e.g. poor sleep, not eating enough during the day, extreme horniness, etc…

Coming down off caffeine, longing for a beer, adhd meds wearing off, hangry from a day of labor, bottling work drama to spare your significant other, house is a mess meaning you gotta keep working when you get home, no good food in the fridge. I dunno, seems like everything kinda hits the fan at night. Weekend nights, not so much.

In the grand scheme of things I don’t do ‘angry’ that much at all, but the two times when I am most likely to angry at all are commuting to work and then back again. Commuting to, because I will be fuming over the latest environment-destroying, genocidal nazi shit that has hit the news overnight and on the way back because I will be grumbling over whatever nonsense and stupidity has arrived on my desk during that day.

In both cases, I make a positive attempt to get it out of my system by the time I arrive at the end of the travel. I recall a study that concluded that a 16mins commute was optimal for that - which mine was exactly at the time.

No, I usually get tired during the night. I tend to laugh more easily if I stay up late.

Yes, but not because of the night per se. But because I need silence in the night and I almost never get that. Daylight noise level is bearable.

After giving my daddy 8 hours of hard labour, yes

My mood does trend downwards over the course of a day. It’s tiredness, I think.

I’m more of a last couple hours of work grumpy.
