Havent figured out how to quote yet

"I've spoken 2 him about this but can't answer him when he asks me what he can do 2 cheer me up."

Try telling him an extra hug or pat on the shoulder or a nice praise might help. I have learned in my situation; family and friends always want to help. When you push them away or keep saying IDK they tend to use avoidence at that point. Even if an extra hug, love ya, pat on the back doesn't work much for getting you out of the dumps, it's always nice to have and it lets the others feel like they are doing something to help. Everyone wants to feel like they can help...especially when it's a loved one.

Good luck and hope you feel the sunshine soon.
