Actor Evanna Lynch has come a long way since she played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. In this episode she looks back on her own relationships and mental health struggles to offer advice to a listener who’s concerned her partner is depressed.
Anna and Evanna are joined by our resident psychotherapist Sam Pennells-Nkolo from The London Practice, as they ask: how much responsibility do we have for our partner’s happiness? And, if they won’t get help, at what point should we just walk away?
This episode touches on the subject of suicide, so do bear this in mind when you’re deciding if and when to listen. If you’re struggling, or you’re worried about someone else, you can get 24/7 support from The Samaritans at samaritans.org or on 116 123. You can also call CALM at 0800 58 58 58. Lines are open between 5pm and midnight.
Evanna’s book The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting is a memoir about her childhood, and battle with an eating disorder. She is also a tenacious animal cruelty activist, and co-hosts the podcasts The ChickPeeps and Just Beings.
…
Have questions about sex? Divorce? Motherhood? Menopause? Mental health? With no topic off limits, Anna’s here to prove that whatever you’re going through, it’s not just you.
