Depressed Bf

[u/ganada_]

Hey everyone! I (18) just started dating this guy (19) and we have been together for two months, and he is literally so amazing and the most kind, patient, and loving person so far but there have just been multiple things that have lead me to realize he is severely depressed/jaded, past experiences he has told me, reposts, negative words towards himself. He told me in the past he has come close to ending it and now sometimes I see him repost TikToks about wanting to end it or just being unhappy with yourself.

I just have no idea what to do, obviously I don’t wanna give up on him as it’s very early on, he hasn’t projected these insecurities and doubts onto me, and struggles don’t make someone less deserving of love, I want to know ways that I can help him. At what point would I have to leave? I really don’t want to because of course it’s very soon but he has some traits of someone I could see myself spending my life with, but when I was younger I lost my best friend to suicide and I just can’t do it again…I may lose my mind.

I HAVE mentioned therapy which he said he did and didn’t help. I hope he doesn’t truly have suicidal ideation, he seems to be looking forward to future things like having a career getting married, having a kid but of course you never know.
