The dark, for me is a lack of affection and connection. I think there are things that I wasn't provided as a very small child and as such I crave them in adulthood. The lack of them creates a void that I can fill with things like food and alcohol OR with art and music. Obviously art and music are preferable void-fillers.

When I can't fine the time for art and music, I turn to the quick void-fillers already mentioned.

I'm lucky I don't have access to things like pain killers or I'd most definitely employ them regularly.

So yeah, music and art push back the dark for me. Hubski does too. Also exercise.

But seriously, does anyone have a Vicodin?
