Morning everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you to all the wonderfully kind people who took the time to respond to my short and sad message about supporting someone with depression yesterday. I was really touched by your support and helpful suggestions, the majority of which I hadn't come across before. Most people have replied off-list, but I hope to go through the messages and share a list of any useful resources for anyone else in the same boat.
What a wonderful community this is - thank you :-)
I'm sure lots of people will already have come across this cartoon about depression by Allie Brosh (I'm a bit behind the times when it comes to internet memes) but I found it really struck a chord.
