Title says it all really - I've been seeing a lovely man for around three months now. He was upfront with me about having depression, which was brought on by having three bereavements and his marriage failing in the space of a few months. He'd been having counselling and this has now finished, he's been discharged and all was looking good. However, he has got really low over the last week or so, the run up to Christmas isn't helping and he doesn't want to see me (or anyone) which I am struggling with as I do feel pushed away and rejected. We talk on the phone and text a lot though. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help to support him through this?
