19 yo Male NEET in good health but have depression. I have been making some serious improvements lately and feel like my life is doing a 180, but I have a problem I can't wrap my head around. I get this uneasiness around twilight that ruins my ability to concentrate or enjoy anything. A wave of confusion comes over me, sometimes pending on the severity images I cannot control flash in my head, and these images can be quite morbid. I have a way of dealing with it most of the time, I try taking a nap 10-20 min before civil twilight and try waking up a couple minutes after nightfall proper. But I still don't understand why it happens and I have been searching for 2+ years. Does anyone have a theory or can relate to this?
tl;dr twilight screws with my head on my most days makes me confused lethargic and sometimes see images in head, usually I can break through it come nightfall, but I have fuck all for why it happens.
I research psych in free time so not certified but may be able to contribute
If i had to say so myself id say around twilight your hormones that regulate sleep (cortisol wakes you up and melatonin puts you down) are shifting and affecting your serotonin (neurochemical that keeps your mind sound and calm in positive way)
To fix it, youd have to change your cortisol levels by exercising a few hours before twilight or you can take serotonin pills that raise your serotonin
Of course, see a doc before you listen to anyone here but still the stuff i suggested cant harm you.
to not be a total fag, i meant psych and neurology

Thank you very much for the advice.
Call me superstitious but I have always had a phobia of meds, pills specifically. I'll try out exercise. Dusk is in an hour or so, I will try it right now.
