Hi I am new to this forum. My partner has been managing his depression well, but it blew out of control over Christmas and New Year. I am new to the area we live in and don't have a support network here. Feeling very alone

Hang in there @LB53

Hey there @LB53 ,

Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear that your partner's depression has been affected over the Christmas. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. The festive season tends to put a lot of unsaid pressure on people. 

Does he have any support? Or do you have support for yourself? You may be interested in contacting SANE's counsellors on 1800 187 263 (Mon-Fri 10am-8pm AEDT). 

It's important you both feel supported at this time. 

What are some things that you've tried before that are helpful? 

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, 

tyme

Hi @Bee36 !

How you are you today @LB53 ?

I was passing through and wanted to check-in to see how you and your husband are going.
