What can I do to help?
Depression Support / by SB915

...See more I recently went through a breakup (or so it seems) with someone that I feel is fighting a deep depression.  I've been researching depression for a few weeks and I am so confused on how or if I should try to help.  He knows I'm here for support and I would do anything for him, but he just wants to be left alone.  I have been racking my brain on how I caused this, but I can't think of what I did.   Why do people fighting depression ignore and push away the people that care the most about them the most?

...See more I've been looking up information on depression for a few weeks now.  I'm still completely confused and hurt.  Can someone please help me understand why when people fall into a depression they push away the ones that care about them the most?  I've told them I'm here for support, but they tell me they are distant with everyone.  That they need to be alone.   I am so confused.  This came out of nowhere.  It was like they had some sort of panic attack.  They were so happy, so full of life and then all of a sudden they flipped a switch and I'm left in the dark wondering what happened?  Did I do something wrong?  How can I help them if they won't let me?   I suffer from anxiety and this has made my anxiety sky rocket.  If anyone can share any insight I will greatly appreciate it.  Thank you!
