I've been in a relationship w/ a friend. He told me he loved me, but not like he should. He loves me w/ his head not his heart. Which makes him feel guilty. We've been friends for 10 yrs. He doesn't live here & he is suffering w/ depression. He told me that he is confused & that I am a big problem in his quandary. I asked why & he didn't answer. Just saying because & that thing are different between us. I told him that as a friend he should be able to confide in me. He just said everything is F**cked up, work, everything. He says I am his best friend, but he doesn't open up. I am concerned because he is not happy & very fragile. His depression is beginning to scare me. He said he thought about putting a bullet in his head. This is a person I want to remain in my life. I am looking for suggestions on how to help him. I know that I need to back off a romance, but I am afraid this will make him feel more like a failure which is one of his issues. I love him and don't know what to do
