So quite similar to the 'grey blanket' analogy.Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-23171988835427890532014-08-17T13:04:08.264+01:002014-08-17T13:04:08.264+01:00The black dog description is used by a lot of peop...The black dog description is used by a lot of people but the best way I've been able to find to describe how it feels for me is that it's like someone has wrapped a heavy, grey blanket around my brain. There are things you can do to improve your mood and that but you can't really stop it. Or at least I've never yet been able to. But yes, things like sunshine, exercise, proper diet and various other tools do help and can, for example, make it a bit less severe or of shorter duration.

I worry...I hope you are feeling a lot better now. <br /><br />I worry when I hear about potentially falling into depression...they call it 'the black dog' here in Australia. Is there anything that you find really helps to head it off at the pass? For me, natural sunlight can help up to a point. <br /><br />My house has been full of dishes all week as well. Stopped us cooking a few nights and it has taken till the weekend to finally catch up, clean up and be ready to start again next week.Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
