 when you are depressed its easy to get carried with tide. and you push people away mostly the ones who care the most.. i know i have been depressed myself once or twice.. but i always had loving family and friends to help me back on my feet when i feel into the deep hole i landed in..reach out give him a hand to hold onto, but dont fall in with him. just be their and be supported, ask him how hes feeling and if their is anything you can help him with, talk to him its the only way to let the demons out thats lurking within the depression.. also do things with him that make him happy, whether it long walks on the beach, or playing games..and talk about the things he enjoys, also show your love and happiness that you can enjoy with being with him..its not just about people helping you its about being able to help yourself he needs to be willing to help himself with his problems and being positive..he may need medication to help correct the imbalance in his head.. also if their are problems with your relationship is their a way you can fix them to help lighten his load ? hope that helps aphexy xx

Try not to focus on any issues that depress him, as it will keep him focusing, do the opposite stay light and chirpy and this may well be a good tonic for him.
