Sid, first of all, I'm sorry that you are feeling so bad. I remember you telling me that you normally aren't prone to depression, so this must suck so, so much for you.

That's great that he called you on a Saturday. A 20-minute conversation! He's welcoming your dependence on him, and he should be--- because you are using your relationship with him as a healthy way to cope. It know that it feels horrible to need so badly... but sometimes you just have to let yourself accept that it's okay to need.

I hope you are doing ok today.
