Hey there,

I was in a relationship when I was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts. It's not easy. The first thing I always felt was I'd be a burden to my partner. Even though I wanted to talk to him, I did not want to burden him. This isn't because of the fact that we weren't close, it's more to do with the fact that he had already done a lot for me and I did not want to make him do more. So, I withdrew from him. I am not saying this is what is happening with you and your boyfriend, but it is always a possibility.

You have said he is seeing a therapist and I really hope it works for him. Because you both deserve to be happy. Like Rishy said, you could try talking to him about this. If he replies and opens upto you about what he feels, you will be able to deal with things better. If he does not, don't pester him. Just make him realize that you are there for him, no matter what. He might take time, but he will tell you.

You could also try getting him to suggest stuff. Instead of saying 'Let's do this' how about asking him what you should do. Maybe it might get him more interested. It's just a possibility, you could try. Since you have been together for a year, you know his likes and dislikes. You could try getting him to do something he enjoys or hang out in places where you have happy memories from the beginning of your relationship.

I know this isn't easy for you. But stay strong, okay? Things will be fine. All the best and take care.
