how do i keep my hope alive?

[trytryagain]

i'm glad we're meeting in a more private place, i think it'll be good for us to really express our feelings to each other without having to worry about what the people next to us are thinking.

we actually do a fair amount of touching when we do see each other. holding hands, or he'll stroke my face or hair. we embrace...last time i saw him he cried in my arms for almost a minute before letting go.

he may be in the midst of depression but i'm not a professional so i can't say for sure. is there a way to broach that subject without making him feel like i think he's depressed? maybe ask if he and his IC have discussed it and/or any medication for it? i don't want to come across and sounding like, clearly, you are depressed and need medication to fix yourself.
