Confirmed this to be true last night . Thank you ! <| sep |> First off , please make sure your boyfriend is ok . The holidays can be a really difficult time for someone with depression , especially when one of their parents is terminally ill . If you haven ' t heard from him , and you have no way of knowing if he is ok or not , call the police and have them do a welfare check . If he is in fact physically ok , try to give him some space . I know you are going through a really difficult time with the loss of your loved one , but your boyfriend might not be in the right emotional state to be there for you right now . I know it sucks and seems unfair , but that ' s part of being depressed . If you can , try to seek out support from your other family and friends , and please seek professional help if you need it . When you do eventually talk to your boyfriend please encourage him to get help . He can get to a place of being able to support you during your difficult times without it worsening his own depression . It just takes time and help .
