Did anyone else find the tone of this article just a touch self-congratulatory?
When I want to hear about mental disease, I want to hear about it from the actual sufferer.
Otherwise, even someone willing to try to do the work is somehow a hero because the ill person is a burden. Focusing on the supporter takes away from how mental health is harder for the sick person, not the person who supported them (until it wasn't for me!).
If I heard people talk about a partner with cancer or MS this way, I don't think this would be a nice article anymore.
