My non NP is suffering with depression quite badly at the moment and feels empty and is struggling to cope. Her NP had an accident and so everything is on my partner to do and she has no time for the things she likes or for spending time with me for at least a couple of months.

I want to help her but I’m unsure how. If she was my NP I’d be able to take over a lot of jobs while she goes through this bout of depression but I can’t. I’ve said that I can do child care, shopping, laundry, cooking, etc. I’ve done some child care, I try to give her little gifts for self care, hugs and tell her that she has me and she’s not alone. I’m not sure what else I can do? Or how I should be? I know she found texting a lot so I’ve cut down on that. I’ve not been asking her over so she doesn’t feel pressure.

There’s maybe a part of me that’s worried that when she’s comes out of it she won’t want me anymore too.
