my husband tried to kill himself over two years ago (just after our 2nd child was born) by taking an overdose. i found him and called an ambulance. he survived and his depression/anxiety has been up and down ever since. he is going through a very episode at the moment and i am worried he is going to do something stupid. he is drinking alot. we have two kids and live away from our extended family so we only have each other. which means i have no support. i dont know how much longer i can support him. im having a very hard and lonely time

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
