DH has just been diagnosed with depression though I suspect he's been unwell for a while.
I've asked him if there's anything I can do differently to support him and he can't think of anything. I'm encouraging him to look into CBT or some other talking therapy as well as the pills he's been prescribed, and maybe some exercise. But mainly I'm trying to reassure him that I think he's wonderful, that it's ok to be feeling how he is but that he can and will feel better.
We have a non sleeping 11mo who I deal with in the night but that takes a fair bit of my emotional energy (well, energy full stop!). I'm due back at work soon so I'm worried I'll be even less use to DH then.
Obviously everyone is different but does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you
