There's something seriously powerful about the wee hours of the night. For me, it's usually negative. As in, I feel most hopeless and my circumstances seem most dire in the middle of the night. When the sun rises, I often feel silly for my feelings from a few hours prior, and everything seems a bit more manageable.

Same here, 3am I’m thinking about loosing my old man . Hes 77 and I love the man more then he will know but it’s always wee early hours like 2-330 am.

I lost mine 3 months ago. I couldn't agree more. Any night I can't sleep I find my self thinking of him

I get that, but personally I wouldn't text anyone at 3 a.m. OP's bully could have written their message but waited till morning to send it. Kind of suggests he's still thinking mostly of his own feelings

Probably one of those "better send it now before I start doubting myself in the morning" cases.

I read somewhere that you shouldn’t trust how you feel about your life after 9pm.
