My boyfriend broke up with me due to depression?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend confessed to me (only me) that he doesn’t feel ok, that doesn’t care about anyone or anything and wants to be alone. After that he broke up with me. When I tried to reach out and support him, he changed and became aggresive. He just pushed me away and tried to hurt my feelings. Almost 4 weeks after that day and we have not had any contact. What can I do?

I think he feels bad for not making you aware that he suffers with Depression. There are people who do this, and it's sad how they confront their partners. My suggestion is do not allow his Depression to make you feel down and depressed because this can happen. If he fails to contact you, by all means don't start feeling down but keep your spirits up. Just think of people who tend to keep you feeling Happy, this will make you feel Happy inside. God Bless You !!! If you have any questions, please by all means contact me, I'm here to listen.

@whynotasksomeone I'm glad I could help you out <3 and I wish you the best <3

Really sorry you had this experience.

The short answer is you can do nothing. Give him the space he's rudely and hurtfully asked for. And move on.

There may be a point that he chills out and contacts you again at which point you can decide if you want to talk to him.

In the meantime, take care of you. Know that he owns this and it's a shitty situation but it's not on you.

Please let someone know that he told you those things. That was a cry for help. Not saying that he would, but people who have committed suicide said things like that before they took their life. Anyway, even though you two aren’t together anymore, please tell someone so that he can get the help he needs.

Also, if you’re in the US, call or text 988 on his behalf. He may get mad at you, but he thank you later on.

I have already told his mother, but she doesn’t want to believe that his son needs some help :/// He doesn’t even want to talk to anyone about me, says that he doesn’t love me anymore , but keeps my picture on his bedroom desk :// I don’t know what to do really (((

Move on, and recognize the signs next time for someone who has unmanaged mental illness.

It happens. He needs to focus on overcoming what that is for himself.

What you can do is leave him be. That is helping, by not pushing him any further.

move on for your own good, there's nothing you can really do, you are just wasting time on him at this point and get no results

move on
