Another item worth mentioning is why I chose this title for my blog. You know that Winston Churchill used to call his depression his 'black dog', well it seemed appropriate for me to use it too for a couple of reasons. I have three dogs of my own, all of them being black or mostly black. I also thought that I'd managed to work myself free from my illness only to find, six months further on that it was still there in the gloom and I had to take four times my previous dosage to get me through the days. My black dog had returned.
I've been doing some searching online for information on depression and I've been reading other people's blogs; there are some fantastic blogs out there. I've been depressed for three years according to the doctors, but since I found out what depression actually was I realised my illness went back to childhood, a long time ago. I'm pretty sure that's how it is for a lot of people.
That's me.
