Can you still love someone who suffers with depression?
I think so – and do. I’ll be honest; it scares me, I don’t fully understand it, but I’m learning. Things have been great for a while now, but I can’t help but wondering “When will it hit again?”, “Will I handle it better this time?”. The optimist in me says “Oh, it can’t happen again – look how wonderful things are!”. The realist says “Um… this doesn’t go away – there is always a chance.”
Come along with me on my journey as I learn, support, grow and thrive alongside the man I love.
