not dressing as nice as she used too,her hair,etc
Then one day I got a call,she was in the hospital,she had stabbed herself and later on died.Looking back,we could see where she was slipping away.It is hard to spot at the time,but look for outwards appearances ,sometimes IT is a sign of a worsting inner state
Yeah unfortunately nowadays when people see someone who used to dress well, care about their hair clothes weight teeth and makeup and suddenly stops doing so or is only able to do so on occasion because of how much energy it takes, they think the person is on drugs or pills.
I am sorry people didn't catch the signs to help her. I am sorry she couldn't help herself. I bet she tried to.
