Please help me
My boyfriend broke up with me due to his mental health about a week ago. He told me loads of times that he doesn’t want anyone around when he’s like this and he’s protecting me . We just recently started seeing each other but we’ve been friends since middle school. I feel helpless because he doesn’t want my help but I don’t want to just give up on him because I know what it is like to go through mental struggles and to be alone because you’ve pushed everyone away. Everyone says that it’s a realization they get later when they’re all alone, but the reality is, i don’t want him to . I want to be by his side, supporting him regardless if he wants it or not because everyone needs somebody.
I 100000% understand where he’s coming from. I really do, but the reality of it all is that I just got accepted into college ( pre med). My college is 20 hours away from Arizona ( where we live) which means I’ll come home very seldomly . We have such a short time left to enjoy each other’s presence before I move away to college.
What should I do? How can I show him that I want to support him unconditionally and that I would never judge him for what he’s going through?
I really care about him and I want to help him through his depression but he isn’t responding to my texts
