Have you ever actually tried to put an image to your condition? I.e. a cluttered room, the colour of black, a cloud, etc?

When you think of your depression, what image comes to mind?

For me, I've found I've felt very cluttered and "messy" when I think of my depression, because there's so many aspects to it and so much going on. And because of this, I sometimes picture it to be this big mess thing, or violent, black, wayward scribbles, if that makes any sense!

And when I think of my depression, I think of things that occurred in my dreams, basically because I hate waking up in the morning (cliche, I know). I mean, my dreams aren't of the "glamorous hunk and I on a bed of roses" variety, they're just ordinary most of the time, but I'd rather be in that dream world than here, you know? I always feel disappointed when I wake up.
