Black dogs and dark clouds

‘Black dog’ and ‘dark cloud’ are common pseudonyms often used to refer to depression, anxiety, and some other related mental health problems.

I hate those terms.
Because I love black dogs and dark clouds.


My black dog is the person I love the most in the world. He more often than anything else pulls me out of depression.

I love dark clouds too. Specially when they come bearing heavy tropical rain. I love that rain too. Just the memory of that rain has helped improved my spirits enough times.

It’s weird hearing people seriously discuss being under a dark cloud when I’m aching to be under a real dark monsoon cloud again.
