Totally get that clue Hence the latter part of my post did indeed draw parallels with 'flu, but simply in a different context

There is a danger in labelling it as "simply ... an ailment"; by definition 'ailment' implies it is a minor illness and neglects to relate to the long term consequences/management of a persons condition. Or, especially, the imminent consequences of those loved ones who are ill informed on breakdowns/causes/consequences/management thereof - yet, are the ones who are nearest and are expected to a) recognise; b) diagnose; c) encourage their beloved seeks the appropriate support/advice and d) neglect all of that (primarily through ignorance) and exacerbate the situation/condition by throwing their own dollies out of the pram and walk away.

Certainly, the more it is talked about, perhaps debated (although I don't think this is the place to do that), experienced (and there are many life stage moments a breakdown can be experienced: to one degree or another) and shared, the greater the understanding of those who are not affected or effected will be.

*My* point was simply: when choosing an analogy, care should be given to the impact that analogy conjures. E.G. Contagion vs a natural response to unsustainable stress! Two quite different things and not to be confused.

We all do it, each and every day: *we* know what we meant; but sometimes, *others* read it differently/have a differing perception/viewpoint/experience - or, actually are in agreement but just saying it a different way with regard to context?

PS: It is also quite interesting that, despite me agreeing with most of your post (and even including the part I disagreed with as a direct analogy but accepting it does have parallels) you choose to hone in on just one little aspect? We're on the same side on this one clue .. let's not let it develop into something not intended. Read my positive bits and don't dwell on the one aspect I disagreed with. It was a 75/25 agreement with your post

 

Bleach is a good all rounder

 

Hearing you, al

 

But, I still rate Stardrops

 

I really must buy a bottle of "Stardrops" it`s used for everything on "Martin Lewis' website, with fantastic reviews.

 

I've just remembered I have some paint stripper outside. I wonder what that will do to the kitchen floor tiles.

 

Nah, if it's used to clean a website, it's no recommendation on the home front, because website cleaning is another topic entirely
