Living with someone who is sick with depression is very difficult. When you've said marital vows and are committed to honoring them, it's tough to follow through when your spouse is ill with a mental health sickness. Suddenly the words "for better or for worse" haunt you because you never knew how bad it could get.
And yet you stay with them because you love them and you hope that they'll get better. With great courage you battle through the storms with them, believing for something better than what you're living.
So you're stuck between what is real and horrible and what could be and is healthier.
Many say there is no cure for depression. But I say there is. Many people wonder if it's possible to live on the other side of depression. It is.
I am living proof there is hope. There can be a new day. It can get better. You can be healed.
Don't suffer through depression alone. You don't have to and it'll only make it worse. If you suffer from it or are in a relationship with someone who suffers from it, please know there is help.
Ask me how I overcame the disease.
