Where did that come from?

Does this happen to everyone? Sat at the 'puter minding my own business, house is empty (expect for dogs & cat), got a few days holiday, wife's at work, listening to guitar music on Youtube, just chilling and suddenly SLAP!

Right round the back of the head comes Mr Depression! No reason, no explanation just suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of down, depressed, could cry.

Why?

Sorry - forget that, just a bad moment. Got a coffee and I'm fine. I'll go and get busy for a bit.

Sorry

Hi

Not depression with more anxiety, just the thought can bring it on.

I call it the fear of the fear.

And when the event comes along " normal" no problem, absolute pain.

Yes to the sudden down. Yes to the 'why did I say that?'

Oh no, y _not. Perhaps the answers in your name, but, on the other hand why?

Mr Depression here does tend to sneak in when things are quietly ok, nothing gone wrong and there he is.

I think it's part of the package. Move over, let him sit there a bit. He'll get bored with the guitar music and saunter off to make someone else miserable. I can't ever make him go but he always does and I hang on to the fact that I also get feelings of being content - me? - and happy.

Strange business this, isn't it, y_not? Am really sorry. Have a hug.

Stop! I do believe it is part and parcel of what ails us physically. It hovers about like a black fog, shape shifting, just waiting in the wings until it knows we are relaxed, happy and having a few moments of pleasure. Start singing really loud - that should see it off the premises. You have made a good move,writing in here. If a weep makes you feel better - do it, but better still, go out in the garden with your dogs, and see how doing that one little thing makes them sohappy, and now kick that black thing into kingdom come.

Not at all -Grandchildren are just the most so precious little darlings, and we all  know and understood how you were anxious.  Ice cream and jelly all round then or am I dreaming that someone told me they give victims toast nowadays? His health will improve leaps and bounds too.  

I had tonsils and adenoids done when I was three, remember every minute of the experience it but we just had Bovril - I don't remember eating anything and I am sure ice cream had not been invented then....heh heh.  I did run out of the hospital on my little fat legs because I thought I saw my Mum coming for me and could hear the Matron shouting "Stop that child" then I was taken back in chains and someone read my Uncle Remus book to me.

You have a very good memory but some things we just don't forget.

I am sure all will be ok in time. Take care Xxx
