I also met a girl with a depression. We met a few times, kissed, I even started to have feelings for her. 1 month later I first noticed her depression, and she’s been pushing me away ever since. At the moment she texts me like 1 time in a month, pretending to be happy. I gave up on her long ago.

Like Kim said they need to fix themselves first to get better. It’s hard to admit you can’t help someone you love, but in my opinion it’s the harsh truth.

If you don’t want to give up on him yet, try leaving presents at his door or write him a love letter or something. Do random nice things. Don’t force him to talk about his problems either. Always try to be his sunshine, be happy around him.

What you have to remember is that you don’t want change the way you treat him. Don’t text him less, don’t ask him out less, ACT NORMAL. Even if he blocks everything off, just keep cool and text again later. You may be the only stability in his life. Also, pets have the similar effect as valium. Pets are surprisingly effective against depressions.

A tip for your own mental health is to keep in mind that he will NEVER hurt you on purpose. Remember this at all times. People who are depressed only care about their own missery, they don’t have energy to take your needs into account. It looks selfish, but they simply lack energy.

I wouldn’t give up on him now, not yet. But don’t let his depression swallow you.

Good luck !
