IMHO I think I have many different colored fogs.
They happen when I suppress or ignore anything too long.
I get Blue fogs when I dress too long
Grey fogs are like cabin fever, when the sun finally comes out Ill be in it.
On other hobby blogs they talk about the same type of thing when you've been away too long.
I think the pink fog is denser than the others; each time its also the most rewarding and challenging to get thru.
For me planning sessions once a month usually helps keep them in check, Ill see the triggers and instead of dropping everything and dressing Ill just think of the next session and add what Ive seen to the plan.
My strongest ones have come after a few months where I had no desire to dress at all; Sometimes that happens when Ive been in another fog working really hard at something else I enjoy.
I have never known for sure where Im headed; but I think that I'm getting better at finding my way thru the fog.
I cant prevent them completely;
I can accept them;
I dont think that they have gotten less intense or frequent over time;
However I do think Ive gotten better at recognizing them when they come and dealing with them when they are here.
