    My boyfriend seems to have depression and is pushing me away

    My partner at times becomes withdrawn from me and others. When he does this he goes so deep into his own mind. Sometimes I get frustrated and if he does something that upsets me when he's in this state and I say anything negative like I'm upset by this or you've annoyed me he pushes me away and will say I want this to be over. This has happened a few times and he generally comes back in a couple of days and we speak.

    Towards the end of last week he was super withdrawn, he hates his job and is struggling to figure out how to sort something else. His sleeping pattern is always really bad, he will sleep for 2 hrs then be awake from 3-7 and then sleep until 8. He was withdrawn and I was upset and told him he had disappointed me. His response was I want this to be over. He lashed out at me. I have found something he wrote the other day about how he feels useless and hopeless and he doesn't care about anything, that he has no way out. I know he's depressed and I want to help him. Any advice?
