I have no scientific evidence for what I am about to assert here, but I wonder how many of you will agree with me. There seem to have been times in my life when depression came on in the same way the common cold does. It was as though some microorganism got into my head and affected my mood. There was no external event to explain it, it just seemed to happen. It could it have been diet, a slight shift in sleeping patterns, a change in exercise patterns…I really don’t know. The tools I talk about here worked, but they were more difficult to access and use. I really had to make an effort to recall and use them. Sure enough, in a matter of days, the mood would pass and I’d be back to myself again.
These episodes were not serious and I doubt any of my friends even noticed. If anyone has experienced something similar, I’d love to see what you have to say.
