Ok so I actually just posted this question like earlier:

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/ldr-boyfriend-is-depressed-and-yelled-at-me.html

and now I'd like to know...when someone is depressed can they lose all feelings?

I asked him if he still loves me and his answer was 'i dont know anything anymore' and i was replied with 'you really dont know if you still love me?' and he said 'i dont even know who i am anymore, i dont care'

this of course has hurt me...so i asked if there is anything i can do, to which i got a 'no' and then i was like 'shall i leave you? never talk to you again?' and he said, 'do what you want, i dont care'..

so i said i'd never do that, and i'd have to be patethic to leave you right now and all i got was, 'mhmnnn'.

I'm lost too now....sooo much here. I'm scared to say some things in case he flips on me. i'm also scared he's just going to leave me.

HELP!!!!

I suffer from depression. Sometimes it makes me numb. It makes me hate everyone and push them away. I say horrible things to people around me and when they are hurt, I say to myself, " see, you ARE a bad person because you hurt so and so," It's a vicious circle when people show they care, I don't want them to because I want them to see what a horrible person I am like I know I am. It must be so hard for you but he can't deal with your feelings right now. I think depression is a personal thing and only he can work through it. Please don't pressure him but decide if you can be there for him through bad times and the good.

LazyGuy agony auntOne problem with depression is that it is often hard to tell from being an ass.

Has anyone with a medical degree diagnosed him as having a depression? There is a reason doctors study for so many years, medicine is hard.

Real depression is a bitch but I also seen a lot of people excuse asshole/self-indulgent behavior behind self diagnosed medical issues. Impossible to say which is going on here, that is the reason real doctors refuse to diagnose over the internet.

If he has issues, let him seek professional help. GF's wishing to heal their bf often end up wounded themselves.

hello. .In my experience . . Yes. . I'm not expert but have had first hand. . I think they seem to push the one they love aside . . Be patient lovely, give him space. . I found myself always being blamed for the depression which was bit odd, but your man perhaps is just bit down and i am onlx just realising that it is so true most men find it hard to talk about their inner most feelings. . Hope he is better soon x
