boyfriend having problems, how do i help? Options

[boogie_artist]

Need some advice.
I've been in long distance relationship with boy from near Leeds for 5 months now.
Recently my boyfriend has been having problems with depression, and I feel so helpless.
I see him on weekends but havent for 2 weeks which is our longest time apart, and he said on phone earlier he is unsure about our relationship. I don't want it to end and I feel he needs me more than ever.
He has a stressful job which doesn't help, I'm so scared I might lose him.

What were you like before these problems? My last relationship was a bit similar, he was stressed due to dissertation problems and cancer scares, there was fuck all I could do to make him feel better but I clinged on because I was scared to let go. In hindsight, it was daft because the relationship was never that good and I never saw us having a good future. I let him treat me like shit, and in the end he had an affair which settled it for me.
If it's worth fighting for then you know what you have to do. But being single isn't that bad.

I'm far better off without my ex because there was more pain than love.

(and the sex was shit)

(sorry)

Have you told him that you love him and don't want the relationship to end?

Do you see yourselves ever being able to be together full-time?

Be there as much you possibly can for him, I'd say its important for him realise that time with so is special without pushing the boat out or trying to hard.

Sometimes just being here is enough for someone.
