Boyfriend pushing me away

[era1988]

Hi. My boyfriend is going through a really bad patch with his depression. He has seen the doctor and been given meds and has had  a session with the psych. However I am really struggling to support him and he is shutting me out and he is ignoring his friends. I don't know what I can do. I want to support him and I'm being patient any suggestions?

Hi era,   welcome

Just be there for him. Deep depression takes time to break free from. There isnt much else you can do. Soft talk mentioning you love him and it's ok for him to be on his own.

When I'm in a depressive cycle that's all that I would want. 

 Make sure he gets to his GP and takes his medicine.

Good luck. It seems he is really lucky to have you, someone that takes the time to ask what to do. We all here love people like you. So special.

Thanks for your advise. I do care about him and so do his friends. I've never experienced depression before and it's a very challenging experience. Glad to have people like you sharing your experience to help others. Thanks!
