Depression & our relationship
Relationship Stress / by shanjred
Last post

...See more Im in a relatively new relationship with a great guy. The past 7 months have been great, with him early on disclosing his battles with depression. Up until know there has only been a few minor flare ups of his depression. The past weeks however, things have gotten bad for him, causing us to barely be in contact with one another. He messaged me saying his depression was the reason hed barely spoke, but havent heard from him in 4 days. My real question is on the best way to support him through this - do I continue to give him space, or should I send another message asking him how he is. There is some distance and work commitments on both sides which prevent going to see him rather than just messaging. My fear is of overwhelming him in a time social interactions are overwhelming. It hurts me to think hes alone when hes at his lowest point but would hate to cause him anymore stress by making him feel he has to interact when he has no energy thank you!
