About the Site
Being the Rock is a blog about living with someone who has depression. Being the Rock was founded in January 2018 by Eisen Jiao. The main goal of this site is to provide insights, reference, inspiration, and support to people who are companions of people living with mental health illnesses. It helps others imagine the hardships and struggles of those living with mental health illnesses so that they have more empathy towards them. It further aims to elevate the discussion about mental health and thus remove the stigma attached to it.
Why ‘Being the Rock’?
‘Being the Rock’ because my wife has told me different times that I acted as her rock with her struggle with depression and anxiety. Being that constant rock for her to lean on to; someone you can always count on when nothing else makes sense.
