I battle with the black dog and also haven't had an episode in a loong time, not going quite so well this week but as you know there's a reason behind it.

I worry about my daughter also as it's right through both sides of my family and also through her dad's (after all, he took his own life and I know his dad also tried taking his when he was younger). <br />I can only keep an eye out for any of the warning signs but so far so good, she seems almost ridiculously normal and well adjusted, thankfully <3skramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837774799878035458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142473673410589132.post-44984975741984066642014-06-10T09:27:24.293+10:002014-06-10T09:27:24.293+10:00Thanks Katherine :) Yeah, the "no skirts abov...Thanks Katherine :) Yeah, the "no skirts above the legs" rule...smh.

I have suffered depression for many years and unfortunately I have passed it on to my daughters. Take care of yourself, you have been through a lot over the last few years.Therese Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093320033510411539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142473673410589132.post-19304722545345662462014-06-10T07:14:21.474+10:002014-06-10T07:14:21.474+10:00The colours you chose work perfectly together!

(besides, I figure age is just a number - when I hit 45 my 'little' sister told me I really should now only wear skirts below the knees - meh whatever!). I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering, but hopefully your new meds are helping, and that it is more to do with tiredness. Stay strong and glitter everything!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483196883773542476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142473673410589132.post-10251130015361737112014-06-09T20:39:08.460+10:002014-06-09T20:39:08.460+10:00Thank you, Cyndi. I'm sorry your dad struggled...Thank you, Cyndi. I'm sorry your dad struggled with depression and that you experienced it yourself- I lost my mum to treatable cancer last year- it was tough as she didn't have the chemo etc and instead tried all alternative stuff... very hard to watch someone make that decision. Cancer is a very scary thing to face, so hugs to you and I hope all is well for you now.<br />I honestly would never have believed how much joy a little bottle of polish could bring until I experienced it myself, it's kinda amazing really :) And it's *such* a supportive community, which definitely helps.<br />Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words<br />Em xoxskramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837774799878035458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142473673410589132.post-22802528399548936602014-06-09T20:33:36.491+10:002014-06-09T20:33:36.491+10:00This is really pretty!

If you are, please seek help so you can get through it. My father suffered from depression and I experienced that during cancer treatment so I know how debilitating it can be. I hope the joy and beauty of nail polish can help you! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955957123371484188noreply@blogger.com
