> 8. Figured out my biggest trigger- talking on my mom on the phone. she called me today. she dared ask me how my depression was going. (um, fine). In retaliation, I told her that she should consider counselling for herself and for dad, and then systematically destroyed each and every one of her lame excuses. Whatever. by the end of our pleasant chat, my 10 beautiful nails and cuticles were 70% affected with 4 bleeders. Damn. Well, at least now I know to grab my gloves (my boxing gloves?) whenever my mom calls me.

How wonderful!
My own mum continues to be my biggest trigger. Not for what we say to each other, but for what she doesn't say to me. She's as tight lipped as a pre-Restayne Hollywood wannabe, and she is vacuous and superficial. Well, nice to meet you , too, m'am!
Again, good on you for doing so well, It is great to have one less thing to weigh us down on our journey to recovery.
