to clarify I mean mostly in terms of imagery and symbolism. I know Churchill described it as a black dog and others have used the word incubus or void. but how do you describe it? I am asking this mostly out of personal curiosity. I know A lot of people describe it differently and as somebody who has dealt with it before I kind of want to know how others experience it. I have said before it feels like a hole were my hear used to be and sometimes I use the phrase darkness behind the eyes to describe how it can shift my outlook.
