Mental health & the evenings

Hey
So I often find my mental health gets a lot harder to manage in the evenings. I am struggling at the minute with the thoughts and things and I am struggling with staying distracted, and finding things to do to take my mind of things.
I try the usual, colouring, watching a film, having a bath or a shower, listening to music, but they only help for about 10 minutes. I sometimes just go to sleep when I feel really bad, but that results in me being more tired the following day cos I have had too much sleep. My body is only used to about 7 hours a night.
I guess I am wondering if others struggle more in the evenings and what helps you get through them.
Thanks for reading

" And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "
'' It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling "

I definitely don't find things like movies helpful because it just doesn't engage me, but different strokes for different folks!
