text: my boyfriend is depressed how do i help him? help please ...maybe he ain't depressed from that...   first, try to find out what he's depressed about. ask him different things. chances are, he'll either say "no," or nothing if you are correct. or give that ol' "naawww" if you're right. after you find out, just help him the best you can!  however, in general, some physical contact should always make him feel better... well if he really likes you. just hold his hand, lean on him, etc.   good luck.
