Boyfriend experiences anhedonia

...See more My boyfriend said that he couldnt feel comfort or anything towards anyone whether it would be his family friends or me. Hes still receptive when I tell him to take his time and that Ill be here for him, he would thank me for that and all. Im wondering if you guys have any success stories, advice, treatment for anhedonia, or anything to keep me hopeful. Not only do I wish to see him get better for our relationship but it pains me so much that he cant enjoy his life and the flurry of emotions that come with it. I wish to see him flourish again.

...See more We were both open with each other ever since the start of the relationship about our personal mental health issues. He has major depression and anxiety while I have anxiety. We were doing really great the first few months until two months ago I started to notice that he was beginning to slip back into a depressive bout. I just noticed that he rarely tells me he loves me now or he misses me. Normally I initiate it and then he answers. As someone with anxiety I cant help but overthink all of this. I dont want to push him thats why Im just letting him be if he needs it but I think I really need to bring this up to him. He did tell me that he still likes me and that if he didnt then he wouldve just told me upfront and just cut me off but here we are so Im holding onto that. Im wondering what are your thoughts on this as people going through depression and anxiety and stuff.
