    My boyfriend is pushing me away because of his depression

    Depression Mental Health Relationships
    6 days ago my boyfriend of 1 year and almost 4 months broke up with me. In the beginning, we were both the happiest we had ever been together and we were absolutely in love. We began to make future plans together because we knew we wanted to build a life together. We did have to do long distance for about 4 months which made things hard, but we were still happy and in love. I have up a few things in order to decrease our distance and see him more.

    A couple of months ago I experienced depression and I was suicidal. This made me try to push him away and I turned little things into big fights. He never left me and he helped me through it and now I have escaped depression. Now he is going through the same thing. He held it in for so long and he blew up and decided we needed to break up so he could find himself again. I tried to tell him to let me help him the way he helped me and he won’t change his mind. He just wants space and I love him so much, all I want to do is help. What do I do?
