270. His depression, my exhaustion and a love that's still here: How do I support him without running dry?

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains talk around depression and suicide. Listener descretion is advised. On this weeks bestie advice segment, a listener writes in about loving a partner through his depression. She's all in, committed, supportive, showing up every single day but she's running on empty and starting to feel the drain. She knows the saying we've preached for years: you can't pour from an empty cup. So how does she keep filling her own while still being there for the man she loves? We're talking about holding space for someone without losing yourself in the process, and why looking after you isn't selfish, it's the only way to keep showing up at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
