The Dementors are coming!

If you’d have been with me last night driving along the motorway, you’d have seen ? of the sky in front of you covered in such a deep black cloud, like an oil slick spreading across the sky, that seemed totally void of anything apart from menace.
It was as if the Dementors from Harry Potter were in front of me sucking the life out of the twilight sky that remained of the evening. Mile by mile, the darkness just seemed to intensify with the light getting dimmer and reducing until the deep darkness enveloped the whole sky, like being wrapped by a big black velvet curtain.
By chance, one of my headlights decided to pack in enhancing the darkness although fortunately, I had fog lamps that helped me see through the dark haze.
At times, this is a bit like life really when unexpectantly, the darkness takes over our thoughts. And echoing life, as I got my headlight replaced this morning, sometimes we also need to work on ourselves to let the light shine brightly again.
This darkness can be brought on by many things for example: not getting the promotion you were anticipating, unexpected breakdown of a long term relationship, stress, an unexpected ‘curve ball’ that has just taken the ‘wind out of your sails’, or possibly a significant person in your life who no matter what you do or say, never seems to be good enough and is having an impact on your confidence and/or self-esteem (not an exhaustive list by any means).
The reality is that it can be a struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel at times as problems arise at work/in our personal lives and can hit you at any time. Changes in life happen all the time and it depends on how you view them, and what action you take to resolve them.
Many people have no idea where to look when the darkness takes hold as there is loads of information available and then it is just general information.
