What to do?

What do you do when your b/f is depressed??? I'm confuesed and need help quick..

Thanks

you cant really do anything but be there to listen and support him.its a different situation in each persons depression so ask him what he needs from you.most likely though just being there to show him hes not alone is the best thing to do.hope all goes well
blessed be

the thing about depression is that the only person capeable of alieviating it is the one that suffers from it. i understand depression first and second hand, this is something that isnt new to me. but i know where you stand, you want to love him and make him feel better, when actually you seem to have no control. i understand and sympathize with you, you seem kind and caring, but understand this, dont get frustrated, just be there. be there for him when hes ready to talk, he may and he may not. but if he wants to talk he should know that you are willing to listen. be a undeniable support system. when in a depressed state it is often that people think they are the only ones that seem to feel this way, no one understands, and they think they need to go it alone. these are common amongst myself and others i know. if you want to do something more, which i think might be helpful as well, take him out for a walk. go do something he likes, get him out and about and try new things or things you know he usually enjoys. keep smiling around him because when a person smiles it raises endorphins and also secreats hormones that are lacking in depressed people. even though he may not be smiling, to see another smile can increase these hormones as well. its a crazy way that our mind works. i hope i maybe gave you a few ideas to work with, you can always write back if you have questions, i am always willing to listen.

Well I understand completley what your saying... we went to the mall last night and it helped him a lot he expressed his feelings towards me and told me that he really loved me and glad that I'm going to be there for him. I'm just really worried that something might go wrong. I've dealed with depression first hand also and man is it hard.. my boyfriend is coming back around now so I would want to say thank you for all your help and thanks for all the help

let him have his space and just say "i'm always near you even whatever happens,and you can explain it if u want" if he says no,say "ok,i just tried to help you,i really worry when things worry you,that's why i said this" and just let him be alone with himself,he will be really appreaciated after he got over his problem by your behaving style,hope this helps you
-lots of Love
