So I've been in a long distance relationship for almost a year now with someone who has severe depression. I also have depression but, I am able to go about my day and push through. Unfortunately that's not the case for him and he pulls away from me often. I am always torn between giving him space but also not wanting to leave him with his feelings of crippling sadness. His struggles with his mental health have honestly brought my out and made life more difficult for me too. He has taken a lot of steps to get better but his depression doesn't seem to have improved much while mine thankfully has. I don't know where to go with our relationship. I feel likes he's pushing away from me a lot and it tends to make my own insecurities come out. Any help or advice would be great.

I know when I feel depressed like that, it's hard to tell the ones I love, I feel like I'm worrying or burdening them. Maybe it's not for the reasons you think... take care of yourself, that's the most important thing
I'm sorry you are going through this. Your own mental health is the most important thing here, so it would be important to make sure you are taking care of yourself. Maybe you could suggest for him to do the things that you do that have helped you. Hang in there!!
