Hello Blueskies, and a warm welcome.
When someone is suffering from depression, there are many times when all they want to do is be by themselves, sometimes they will let you know and other times all they do is disappear to a place they feel comfortable in without letting you know.
It's not because they don't love you, it's just that they are unable to say it and don't want to be asked too many questions, that's why they want time alone.
It's very possible that at some point he may want to contact you because he's having a really deep low point and needs to talk with you and may happen at any time, so let him do most of the talking, that's showing the love you have for him.
What you can say to him is that you are there for him at any time and if he wants you to go with him to the doctors.
Can I please suggest that you take care of yourself so you can take care of the relationship, you have to try and maintain your strength if possible and also see your doctor.
Is it possible for you to do the K-10 test, it can be found by clicking 'The Facts' at the top of this page, try and do it a few times, but not straight after the other, then take this to your doctor.
There are many places that offer help and will provide them in the next reply, but please take care of yourself, and I say in next reply because if I provide them now this reply will be held back.
Geoff.
