G, I know how much you love your h, but believe me when I say he has to get help on his own. You can be there to listen, but this depression is not something you could fix.

I know from where I speak, I was very depressed for years. Everyone tried to help me, but it wasnt until I wanted things to change that I found the right doctor and the right medicine.

I did not want anyone to feel sorry for me, or try to fix it. I had to get there on my own.

So, let your h know that you hear him, that you are there for him, and then step back and let him figure this out for himself.
