This could be the most important piece of advice I have learned so far - so listen up.
Tell people that you are trying to support a sufferer of depression.
Tell your family, friends, work colleagues.
Stop hiding it and hiding from it.
No-one can help if they don't know you might need their help.
And by the time you need their help, you won't feel like telling them the whole story before asking for some help.
Who knows, you might even find a fellow Supporter hiding their story.
I wish I'd said something sooner - it feels like a weight has been lifted in some ways.
Don't struggle on your own - don't even try. No-one can beat depression on their own - whether a Sufferer, a Supporter or even a medical professional.
And don't forget - there's always hope.
