Handling depressive episodes
I, myself, am not depressed but I am seeking advice on how I can make my partner who experiences depression feel more comfortable to talk about it with me. It bothers me that we’ve been together almost 2 years and hes still not comfortable talking about it. Truth be told, Its my first serious relationship dating someone who has depression so its all new to me. I feel bad when I dont really know what to do or how to help him, which makes him want to close himself off. How can I handle this? Any advice? We also just started doing long distance so now its going to be even more tedious.

It is so nice you're willing to support him , shows that you really care ❤
Dealing with depression is tough, it is not easy to ask support or to share stuff but sometimes just being around someone and knowing you're loved and supported is more than enough .
You can assure him that you may not know how to best help him but you're with him through all highs and lows to support and care even from a distance.
