Supporting my husband through mental illness was, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll get more into some specifics of his mental illness later, but for now, know he was suicidal for a long time.
This time in my life was not only the hardest time of my life, but the loneliest. Mental illness has been stigmatized for so long. And while the conversation about mental illness has started to change as people are more open to share their struggles, the conversation about supporting someone through their process has remained lacking.
I plan to change that. This is our story.
