Surviving depression relies on it, however. And that applies to both Sufferers and Supporters alike.
While my Sufferer is working on making changes to help him maintain an even keel and avoid, wherever possible, the lows that grind his life to a halt, I must also make changes in behaviour. I realise that, for a start, I must be more open to help - asking for it, not just accepting of it.
On this journey of change, the following poem might help. Change isn't easy and it doesn't happen over night. It doesn't happen simply because you want it to - although that is a very powerful first step.
Don't be disheartened. Keep going. You'll get there.
