Hey, I like that; it's a great descriptive of what's happening. As you say, the best defense is to recognize it and do something about it right away. The farther down the rabbit-hole you go, the harder it is to recover! Thanks for your kind words, Catherine, and welcome to the Middle Zone! “The Spiral”… Hey, I like that; it’s a great descriptive of what’s happening.

I call it the spiral. Once it gathers momentum, it's difficult to stop the sharp drop into a bleak world. The trick is to recognize the start of a spiral and be prepared to act immediately. Grab onto the light by doing something nice for someone in need. Someone who is not as well off. As you mentioned, taking the focus off yourself works a treat. Btw - I followed you from your post on Joanna's blog (Confident Writing). Nice. Excellent story Bob.
