When you think of people with Mental Health you are portrayed a certain image of someone from social media, Tv programmes etc

Living with someone who has Mental Health is a roller coaster. You love them with all your heart you want to help them, to be happy, to see the good things in life  but you can also despair, be frustrated, scared and fearful. The most powerful moment for me was when the Mental Health Team asked how I was as the "carer"....... CARER ...... we are in our early 50's not some ageing couple looking over a grave side. But my husband had hit rock bottom and attempted an overdose, we had been struggling along for over 10 years riding the MH rollercoaster, but this was different he couldn't see a way to get it to stop, to go away and I was now his advocate, support network, safeguarder, nurse, cook, cleaner..... carer.
