Boyfriend is sad.

Yesterday i was texting my boyfriend and he was telling me he feels alone sad and he feels that nobody cares about him or love him. I told him that i care and i love him so much. But i feel that that is not enough what should i do so he can feel that i love him and i care about him and that he is not alone that he has me.

Hi, isadora. I think it's hard to get others to feel better, especially when they feel sad because it's them that are feeling sad and that's for their own internal reasons so we can't get in there and help very much.

Do you know if something happened recently, with his parents or other family or friends that got him down? I would just be a cheerful as I could (not fake though) around him and let him know you'd be happy to listen if he wants to talk; if you know of some activities he likes, suggest doing some of them together?

The best advice I can give to someone who is supporting a loved one with depression or any other mental illness, is to be informed. Read up on the problems your loved one is suffering from (it sounds liek depression, right?). Empower yourself with knowledge. Opening yourself and accepting that you can't fix the problem all the time is really important. If he is suffering from depression he needs some help from a professional, there's absolutely no shame in that. I hope you can help him find the help he needs. Good luck sweety.

Hello the problem that happen recently was that we were about to break up and he feels like everyone around him is playing with him. That everybody is doing him wrong. He told me that his heart is broken. Andd i want him to feel happy and i want to fix his heart. Cause it hurts me when he tells me that his sad and that his alone.

He was the one that broke it off with you and then gave you a second chance.. How can his heart be broken?

Spend time with him, cuddle and hold hands and just be yourself. I spend much of my time trying to make other people happy.. what I have to realise is that I need to be happy too. You can't make someone happy without taking a little of yourself and giving it away.

Hey belle he told me that he has been feeling sad but he hides it. also he said that he doesnt trust nobody. Yes u desreve to be happy you have cheered me up when im sad thanks. Ima spend more time with him and show him that im here with him that i love him.

Does he have a reason to be sad? Is there things in his life that you can talk about? I know that you have benefitted from talking/writing (as does everyone here!).. maybe if you can get him to open up a little and talk then he will get what ever it is off his chest xx

Well the only thing he told me is that he feels lonely because he cant trust nobody. Also he's a great guy and he thinks that everybody around him is doing him wrong. And i have seen that he is not the same i see him sad. And it hurts me. when i see him like that.
