Depressed boyfriend getting frustrated when I'm trying to help him

Just let him be then. Depressed people are so hard to handle, I know this from my personal experience. If you think that you are doing everything that is in your power, then just stop trying to help him. You need to think about yourself first. You need to be completely okay with yourself in order to be ready to help depressed people, it is how these things work. If you are not happy yourself, you cannot possibly help a depressed person. So forget about him, at least for some period of time and do something for yourself, make yourself happy.

It is true what Gaia is saying, you need to be a happy person and a stable person, mentally strong, in order to help someone who is depressed. You really need to think about yourself first before you get into something like this.

If you already did everything you could and you can clearly see that it is not working, then it is definitely time to quit. I always say that, if you did everything you could, you can't say later that you didn't try hard enough because you did, so it was not your mistake. I'm sorry honey, depression is so hard.

I don't want to leave him. I know it is hard, but if we make it through this, I know we can make it through anything else.

I can give him space if that is what he wants, but I somehow think that he doesn't really want that, I think that he actually wants me to stick around. I am not going to leave him, even if this whole situation is going to hurt me, I know that he is eventually going to snap out of it and I want to be there when it happens, I want to say that we did it together.

Hey there darling. Trust me, you are too young to deal with this issue. I think that you don't really need a boyfriend who is so depressed all the time and especially because you are trying to help him and he refuses this! Anyway, he is getting mad at you and you are listening to him and you are giving him your support. In my opinion, you are spending a lot of your time on him because he doesn't want to understand that you really want to help him. If you want to be with him, OK, be with him, but let him act the way he is acting and leave the room when you are together. Maybe he will understand what he is doing to you, but I don't believe..

Hey there everyone.

I would like to answer the Guest on this last post. Why she should leave him? Because this boy has some mental issues?

Well, I don't believe that this is the reason why she should leave him. And he is acting weird because he doesn't know how to act differently. 

I need to tell you that I admire to you because you are trying to help him, especially because you are really young and you are still there with him, trying to help him.

I also agree that you should let him be himself and as soon as he notice that you are not here like you used to be, he will be there for you.

I don't understand why you found my opinion that bad. That is what I believe and I know why I am saying this - because I had exactly the same problem and I was older, people would like to say smarter as well. I tried to leave by my side that boy who really was difficult and he was insulting me whenever he had problems with this depression. He was frustrated because no one was able to understand him, so he was stressed when he was with me, he was yelling at me and he was insulting me. That is why I do believe that you need to leave him because you will be sad and maybe depressed as well!

Hm...I know that I never left my boyfriend who was depressed and frustrated because I was depressed a lot of times and he was with me..OK, my ex - boyfriend, but we didn't broke up because of the depression. 

I admire you. You are very young and you are dealing with such a huge problem.

Sometimes I can't even handle my depression and when I see how hard you want to fight for him, I can tell you only that I admire you a lot.

My advice is that you should try to talk to him one more time. If he refused or gets frustrated, which is very likely to happen, than go aside and let him come to you.

Always be there for him and let him know this...
