(not sure if this is better here or in relationships but hey ho)
My other half suffers from bouts of depression. but recently its been every two or three days that he gets really bad. Hes so down, cant see a point in anything, hates life etc etc. Im finding it hard to cope as it breaks my heart to hear what hes saying. We have been through a lot together and I just want to do all I can. does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help him but also help myself?
Any suggestions will be extremely welcome

I totally sympathise!
Has he been to the doctor? Is he on any medication? Getting any councilling?
Only thing i would say it try not to take it personally, and YOU can't CURE him.
Have him go see a therapist, take vitamins, and exercise.
just keep your chin up, and definatly try and persuade him to go to the doctors so they can seek proffesional help xxx
Think I hit rock bottom last night with only two hours sleep after another breakdown from him. But he seems to have picked up today so Im much happier now.
I cant make him go to the doctors etc because.. well its not my choice. It's got to be his.
I know I can't cure him. And I know I just need to be there for him, but when all I want to do is hold him and never let go, im not much use.
I will take up the idea of writing everything down. I also think he does this too.
Heres hoping we can enjoy a happy festive season x
