If your partner has depression, I can’t lie and say getting through it is going to be easy. But I’ve now got the gift of hindsight, and there are a few things I wish my wife had known from the start.

About Laura P
I’m 29 years old and I love to write, sing and make stuff. All that creativity is a great outlet for someone with depression and PTSD. I think there is a lot of pain in the world and this often gets in the way of us noticing the good. I’ve become quite philosophical recently, a consequence of my having had a breakthrough / breakdown, however you like to see it. I prefer the former.
I live in the UK with my wife, a super friend and our peculiar-looking lurcher (she’s also a super friend). I blog on depression, PTSD, BPD and sexual abuse. I firmly believe we all need to talk more openly about these issues if we are ever going to be able to provide adequate support for the people who suffer from them.
