The worst of it is, when a dark cloud looms and you don't know why, if you do know then at least you can do something to try and move it on. But if the horrible feeling has no root you can put your finger on, it is like an enemy with out a face. It is a pain with no bandage for anyone to see, so it is harder to face, as you do it quietly and suffer alone, or try to tell people at the risk of being thought a whinger. At least if your ailment is seen easily, people try to understand, but this invisible ailment can be just as sore. For anyone with a cloud today, I send love XXXX

Not a Robbie fan, but his description is pretty good!

You're not wrong babe..... when you feel that black cloud coming over you just wanna stop the world and get off!! :o(

I've had post natal depression. That was horrible just couldn't cope with life and wanted to stay in bed all the time. Linda

It's a physical pain, a mental pain, exhaustion.... no energy and no desire to do things even you can.... yes the worst flu ever is pretty near the mark!!! Jacquie xxxx

Ruby - that's what I thought. Have been trying to think of ways of describing it to people for ages but what Robbie says really sums it up! love becx

That's a pretty good description of depression.

Have just finished Robbie Williams's biography 'Feel'. He says lots of very true things but his quotation about depression really struck home. love becx

... Depression isn't about anything. It's not about 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other'. It's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick. It's not about situations, places or things' - Robbie Williams
