Hi All.
Firstly, may i say a huge thank you to everyone who has made me feel so so welcome on this forum. Talking certainly does help.:)
Churchill (the politician not the dog!) described his feelings of depression as ‘Black Dog’ moments.
For me, when I suffer from periods of anxiety, I describe it ‘Black Dust’ as thats what it feels like. A seemingly never ending veil of darkness i can see no light from.
I would like to share this poem I wrote a few years ago about it:
thanks
Matt.
The Curse of Black Dust
Black Dust engulfs all good things
Suffocating slowly, hopeful wings
Cascading deep into the lonely mind
Infiltrating slowly, to see what it can find
I can’t see clearly, left or right
Panicking quickly, with so much fright
When will I, think clearly once more?
For fighting through, feels just like war
My mind spins round, caught in a gale
When can I break, this vicious veil?
Plans forgotten, future ignored
When can life, be restored?
The Curse of Black Dust, is here to stay
Waiting until finally, it moves away
