> If you are suffering from depression, please seek help. And if you are in a relationship with someone suffering from depression, find emotional support. It isn't your fault.

An underrated piece of advice. Not to take at all away from what those with depression are suffering, but supporting a loved one with depression can be a tremendous task in itself, sometimes involving a lot of emotional abuse. Thanks for sharing.

Get professional help before it rubs off on your children. I grew up with anger/sensitivity/delayed development issues due to the non-stop theatrics of a depressed parent.

"Theatrics" may be the wrong word.

From experience, I’d describe it as an “emotional whirlwind”. The person suffering has a lasting, chaotic impact on the household. Similar to a whirlwind the very winds that start it can’t really be seen or predicted with ease.

I don't know man, maybe it is? Not the performance aspect, for sure. But isn't the purpose of drama heightened emotions?
