Dancing with the Black Dog

Each Christmas Jen and I pick a charity to give a small donation to. This year I picked ’Dancing with The Black Dog’. We both got one of these pin badges to proudly wear.

A note from their website explains their cause...
You don’t have to be suffering from anxiety or depression yourself in order to wear or display the dancing black dog symbol, because doing so does not mean you are saying “I suffer from anxiety or depression”. Rather, it means you are saying “it’s ok to say if you don’t feel ok” to anyone around you who may be suffering from anxiety or depression. As many as one in four people suffer in silence from depression or anxiety. Sometimes they come across as the happiest person in the room, yet on the inside they are in fact the loneliest.
