The Dark Fugue
Posted on | April 6, 2009 | No Comments
Hidden from the world we vent our rage and hurt, Staying in our home and even in our beds for days at a time we realize that nothing is worth it and could linger in this state until someone drags us off. It is relentless, not even minimized by long sleep and each morning makes us feel worse. Depression can come on suddenly even for people who believe they are bright and cheerful all the time. Every few years, for a few days to several weeks, we sink into a deep dark place. All our domains, love, family, work and school exhaust us and we see no success in any of them. Our energy plummets without the backing of something good, something fun or new to bring us up and out. After several weeks, we start to feel less dried out. We pick up after ourselves, read a book and even think about making some future plans. Looking back we wonder what made us so dismal and unhappy....until the next time. Shawn NicholsComments
