I spent six years locked in a haze of antidepressants after my first marriage broke down. This is the red flag I ignored - and why, at 57, I'm taking the plunge into love again: MIRANDA LEVY
The mental health nurse started rooting through my wardrobe in a 'declutter your life' kind of a way. Eventually, she found the £2,000 Christiana Couture dress I had worn for my country house wedding, 14 years earlier. She somehow thought that throwing away a few unused garments would soothe the tangle in my brain.
'We won't be needing that any longer,' she snapped, ripping my gown from the rail, marching it down the stairs and depositing it next to the bins in the front garden.
