How should i deal with my boyfriends depression?

My boyfriend is a very happy go lucky, fun loving person, but he has fallen into a deep depression because of his parents. They are incredibly strict with him, and told him that he is the reason their family is falling apart. His parents even agreed to not have a relationship with him when he leaves for college. I want to help him in any way I can because I cant stand seeing him so unhappy. He gets to be so unhappy, that he is unconsolable. Is there anything I can do besides simply being their for him?How should i deal with my boyfriends depression?

Ive been on both sides of this problem and its equally difficult.





When your the ones who's depressed, you push the people you love the most away, dint ask me why!





When you are the one who's got to live with someone who's depressed you feel helpless and sometimes angry that they cant snap out of it.








What I will say is, that no matter how bad things get remember that he cant help it. Even when there are times when he may be hurtfull towards you, he doesnt mean it. Youve just got to stick with it and be there for him, and remember the times when he pushes you away are the times when he needs you the most. This is going to be hard on you too, tell him this, tell him that it hurts you to see him like this and that you want to be there but hes got to meet you half way and not take for granted the fact that youll always be there. He also needs medical help, no matter how much he'll probably say he doesnt!





Its a rocky road, hope things start looking up for you both soon
