Thank you for trying to support your partner, I'm sure they do appreciate it. It can be tricky supporting friends and loved ones who have mental illnesses.</P> <P>There's a few resources you can look at, this forum and the BB website has a lot, you can search things in the search bar on the top of the page.</P> Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:53:48 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/supporting-someone-with-depression/m-p/533785#M46731 Guest_4643 2021-02-05T11:53:48Z
