Encouragement required...

I met with Catholic Care a week ago and they sent me this website to look at. A week ago things were starting to look up, so I filed the email away. Positive thinking (as always) that things are fine. But they're not when your living with someone with a mental illness are they?

I am a mum of 3 (all under 4) My husband was diagnosed with anxiety and depression about 2 months ago. Most of the time I am fine and I actually mean that. You never know what each day is going to be like but you get on with it. Because you have to.

Tonight is one of those nights where I have a sick child and my husband who can't help because he can't cope with it but can still make me question everything I do.

Tonight is one of those nights I just want to say "snap out of it!!!!" But you can't

I want to scream. I want to cry and most of all I just want to see my husband smile again .

Logic tells me that everything will be OK because it has to. Tonight I'm tired though and logic isn't present.

This is all new to me - so any advice or encouragement of any sort would be great. Would love to connect with other people out there - maybe a Mum supporting their partner?

Thanks for listening:)
