Unless he gets help,this guy is doomed to a miserable life of feeling sorry for himself. He may need professional help, but can help himself if he'll read the right books and identify what is making his depression---and put it behind him.
If that isn't possible, he may need to be on medication. In this day of prescription drugs and their problems,side effects,etc--no way would I go that route.
Your life will be a time bomb if you choose a person with depression. You need to wake up & let this guy figure out if he wants to wallow in pity or get beyond his depressed state. If you stay in this relationship--depression will move into your life & mind. If you didn't know it---people run & avoid people that have depression,because after all it is a mental condition.
Do not call him,if he calls you tell him after he gets help with his depression and get's his life on the right track you choose to stay on the outside looking in.
I personally think depression is a state of mind--pity,sorrow & grief...All sooooooooooo negative.
The Best to You.................& you deserve the best

NO!! he not a basket case!! i have had depression and when you have it can make you think things that you normally wouldn't think, may be because he is depressed he also can't cope with how you feel because he depressed. Sometimes there isn't a reason people get depressed but it can usually be controlled with medication i could tell you the reasons but i don't want to bore you but if you want some more info just let me know. Being in a relationship does have its ups and downs though.
