I was diagnosed with depression not too long ago, but I've been suffering from it longer than "not too long ago". My boyfriend knows about it, and how significant a toll it plays on me. He knows I've became very over sensitive and insecure, and is absolutely wonderful and is constantly there and does all he can for me. However, my issue is that I feel that he doesn't think he can approach me with his problems, as if I have too many of my own. I'm trying to show him that he can open up and tell me how he feels, but I don't want to seem too pushy or forceful. How can I show him that I still want to be there for him? A relationship has two sides and as wonderful as he may be, he too has problems and needs to let them out, I just want him to know that I can still be his rock, even with this going on. Thank you! :)

I'm sure he knows that he can still turn to you if he needs to. He is probably so worried about you that his problems don't seem important to him. The best thing that you can do is just reassure him from time to time that you are still their for him and that he can talk to you anytime. Just keep reminding him.
