All of the photos have been wonderfully amazing. Real eye openers. And some tear jerker's.
As some people will know from my recent tweets, I have been going through a bit of a hard time since having my son 6months ago.
PND turned into depression and following an assessment this week, I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2 disorder.
I have decided to shun the help of medication in favour of the au natural remedies of meditation, light therapy, diet and exercise and with the help of my family and friends, I know that I will eventually learn how to cope with my everyday life in a much more positive manner.
Today, I have decided not to be that person who watches.. but that person who joins in and has a go.
So here goes, my very first ever post for Tara Cain's Gallery at Sticky Fingers. (And I hope I get this right!!)
The prompt this week is 'Men'
This is now my favourite photo of my men. Taken tonight (Friday 7/5/10)
This is my partner, Drew (@andyhead02) and our 6month old son, Che Lennon having a Daddy-Son bonding moment together.
Every time I look at this photo it makes me smile, the best medicine there is.
I LOVE my men.
Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteSo so glad you've joined in. And it's so lovely to hear you're going down the natural remedy route. You're right, our children really are the best medicine.

ReplyDeleteHey.... welcome to well the mummy blogging community. There are lots of us around here that have been through / are going through / still trying to get over the place you are in now. Me included. I had a battle of battles with PND that nearly left my children without a mother.
