Re: Carer

Hey @Coppo, 

A warm 🌞 welcome and thanks for sharing your experiences with the community!

 

Sounds like you are coping with a lot right now especially in being the support person for your husband mental health battles.

It takes courage to share your experiences with the community, and you are being really brave reaching out to your peers 💮. 

  

I'm sure that the community will have some insights to share with you soon!

 

Take care
