Hey.
I just found out that my boyfriend was diagnosed with depression a few weeks ago, and he didn't tell me until now. This tore me up completely, as we have been having quite a few argues lately, and I can get pretty nasty when I'm angry. I don't think the depression is severe, but I still don't know how to handle this.
He had a messy past and I know that things have been hard for him, but I can't help it but to wonder if I'm one of the reasons for this, considering how harsh I can be when we argue.
When I try to comfort my guy in whatever he's upset with, it's like talking to a wall. I'm not very good with feelings nor am I very good at comforting, so I guess I'm just looking for some advice. How do you comfort your SO? What do you do to show him/her you're there for him/her?
I love this guy to death. Some advice would be greatly appreciated..
