I don't usually ask people for advice because i am often the one to give it. But it is always different when you are going through something because the way i see it nobody knows the answer to their own problems. Right? That's why they have these type of sites. To help.
My boyfriend gets depressed at anything that doesn't go his way. I love him very much and want to help him. Every time he threatens to kill himself or attempts. Of course i don't want him to hurt himself in any way, but it is so hard to help him because i'm afraid i will upset him. I live two states down from him so it is always hard to convince him to not do anything because i am not physically there. This is another thing that makes him depressed. When i was physically there with him i could tell that he was the happiest person i had ever seen. I am so happy with him and i try so hard to be strong for the both of us but when he gets depressed things always end up bad and sometimes i can get overwhelmed. I am not sure how to handle this problem because i have never had to deal with somebody who is depressed until i met him. I am very happy that i did meet him. He has lived a hard life because of his family. He is a very kind and sweet boy and he just doesn't believe that life is worth living unless i am in it. And i always will be. But when i make him upset, he gets to the point that he threatens and attempts to kill himself. He has not succeeded with it and for that i am extremely happy and greatful. I will never give up on him and i am determined to make him see that life is worth living even if i'm not always with him. I believe that the answer to my problem is to be with him physically and not just talking on the phone or computer. But there are some difficulties with that so until that time i can be with him in person i need some advice on how to handle this problem.
