I was moved to tears by Heather’s post. I am struggling with depression, and more recently with wicked anxiety. That post couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’ve been putting off seeking help via therapy. I feel empowered to do it now, because of Heather’s post. Thank you, to both of you for being candid about such a difficult topic.

Dude, you are amazing for accepting her and doing everything you can to help her…that to me is the perfect marriage and I love that you both use what could potentially be a massive problem, as something that strengthens your relationship.
I am yet to find a guy that takes all my shit and accepts it and helps me, I know that he’s out there so I just keep waiting.

Aw, come on, Jon. That is so 2004.
I know her powers. One false step and you’re a pile of ash.

Heather is amazing but no doubt about it too, you are also amazing.
Not to generalize, but I’m not sure many boyfriends/husbands would stick around for the roller coaster ride even though your stories show that it is clearly worth it.
