I think it is only experience that can really teach that but once you have recognised the onset Andy's advice here is certainly a good start to freeing yourself once again. In a way I am glad to have been through this situation as without the lows the highs wouldn't seem so great and I'll take that any day of the week. It just would have been nice to escape a little sooner than the rather prolonged stretch that I experienced. Thanks for you fantastic blog Andy - keep up the good work!

What I hope postings like this one and your own first-hand description can offer a <em>forewarned is forearmed</em> effect for those who haven't experienced it - and a <em>aha!</em> moment of recognition for anyone unlucky enough to be going through a similar thing now.
