His Heart Is Empty?

[Ambrosia]

My boyfriend and I spent a good hour crying together yesterday. He suffers from depression, and has almost all his life, and has recently been rejected for getting a job somewhere. He started to become depressed on Thursday and, yesterday, told me that his heart has become cloudy. He doesn't feel anything in his heart for me at the moment, and that he still cares for me very much and doesn't want to break up. He thinks it's just a fluke, that we just need to not see eachother for a day or two (Since we have seen eachother every day for the past month). He told me I'm too optimistic for him, in which case I pointed out that it wouldn't work out if we were the exact same people. I'm afraid I'm going to lose him, and right now I'm not sure what I'll do if I lose him. I don't nessicarily 'need' him, but he means so much to me.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do? Or how to deal with this? Anything? Please?

This happens to me a lot, I find I can't feel anything for anyone including my girlfriend. Its like Im completely emotionless for the entire time. I'm just numb. The fact he was crying over it is a good thing, there is something there that shows he doesn't like feeling like this. If he feels he needs the space let him have it. Text him in the morning when you wake up to make sure everything is okay and text him when you go to bed, if he texts on his own terms between then thats up to him. I know its going to be hard to deal with but overcrowding him at the moment might do more harm than good.

If you need to talk at all you know where to find me.

He doesn't want to break up, I know that much...But I feel so horrible that he feels this way. Does it ever wear off for you? Or is it constant? Or does it just come and go?

From my experience with people that I had a close bond with (Not necessarily a relationship) -
It really depended from person to person, everyone is diferent.
Some are constanyl in a dark mood and don't want anyone to come close to them or anything like a way of affection/showing you care.
Then there is also people whom struggle with sometimes feel completely okay or happy, then suddenly feel really upset and down for no particular reason at times or else there is a reason of course.

In my opinion, just like Kaius had already aviced...-
It'd be best to give him the space if he needs it.
And him being so open with you about how he feels and his feelings towards you, it definitely must mean he does care a lot about you and loves you.
At this moment he is just weak and confused with himself.

The only thing you can do now is ask him first of all if there is anything you can do to help.
If he answers no, it means it's mainly himself whom can push him through all of this and find happiness/joy again.

So in that case all you can do is show him you are there for him and care/are worried about how he feels and that you also want to see him smile, make him happy.

If you believe in your love for eachother and if you believe in him aswell, then I'm sure you'll make it together and this too will pass.:)

I'm just so afraid he's going to decide he can't fix it. And then we'll break up. He keeps saying he doesn't want to, but if he can't make that feeling stop...Uhg...It hurts me. A lot.

It depends with me, sometimes it takes a while otherwise its only a day thing. You've just got to be patient with him
