I have signals that indicate to me that I may be slipping into depression. And there is no schedule on when it will occur.

For example, if I consciously choose to wear navy blue or black predominantly I know that I am beginning to enter a depressed state. (I never wear purple because the color itself can make me depressed. Wearing purple is a strong indication of depression.) If I choose something like bright red or green to wear I know that I'm approaching a hypomanic state or at least an aggressive feeling.

So I generally stick with clothing that is beige, gray, light blue, white or soft green.

I can really feel when a depression is beginning to emerge, so I fight it furiously with the lemon thing; get rid of the beef and breads. It often works.

Another cue is the uniformity of dress. If one tends always to wear white and black,
and doesn't often use a similar color for both top and bottom, it may indicate a
feeling of lack of unity.

I'm sensitive to color and that may be why I notice it as a signal.

Take care.
