I need advice to get through this... He has been depressed for months and withdrawaling more each day... He doesn't talk anymore... Pretty much won't leave the room... Yes always withdrawing into his phone... I'm doing my best to help him through this... But it's taking a toll on me... Yes also has R. A. witch he's being treated for but seems to always be in pain... I'm supportive and loving and I am trying so hard to help but it isn't working... I go to his therapy appointments with him... Just trying to understand what to do... I love him so much... I just wanna be there for him... What should I do

This is a bad situation. Take it from me, I've been there. I suffer from manic depression and have been off and on various medication and going to therapists since I was 13. I've been hospitalized and put on suicide watch twice, I've been arrested once during one of my "manic" episodes and it caused me to lose my job, and I would isolated myself almost completely from friends and family. Once was for nearly 3 years. Luckily I've been on some medicine that is finally doing the trick!

In any case, keep going to therapy with him. Be there for him but don't pressure him. If he doesn't want to talk, leave him alone and just let him know you're there if he needs you. Now, if you're concerned he may try something to harm himself or others, you may need to let his therapist know, and try to convince him to check into a hospital. Otherwise, if you have the strength, give it time. If not, as bad as it sounds, you may have to move on with out him. People have to make their own choices and you can't drag yourself down for him.

There's nothing you can do. Just be there for him. You can't cure him or make him better
