It's only three - four minutes long, worth watching, and might give you a different perspective about symptoms.

Wow, I actually found this uplifting. As Madhather says, thank you.

I found it real helpful . . . as they say, one has to get to know something real well (almost befriend it) before one can understand it and do anything with it. For me, watching this video, made me think of my depression as something that needs right training similar to how one would treat a dog. Once a dog is treated well, with care, and trained appropriatley most become very happy.

Not that I know how to train my dog yet, but good to have a concept to work with.

My friend gave me the book for this 7 years ago :)

I believe there are two books in this series for both sides of the spectrum:

*I Had A Black Dog
*Living With A Black Dog

and there now seems to be a whole group of them

Thanks for that.

So true.

That’s what Church Hill called his depression - his black dog.

Cute. Definitely how I have been feeling lately. It was funny that I took a sip of wine right as the self medicated came on. Interesting. Thank you.
