My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year. He has Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, but is on meds for this, and it does not seem to be too big of a problem right now. However, every few months, he becomes depressed for a few days to several weeks. He becomes very quiet and will hardly talk to me, or if he does he is ornery. When he is depressed, he also feels bad about himself and has low self-esteem. I feel very alone when he is like this. I love him very much, and when he is not depressed we get along well, care about each other, and have a lot of fun together. But when he is depressed, its like he isn't even there. He is planning to see a therapist, but I don't know how much it will help. We have talked about marriage, but I don't know if I can deal with this for the rest of my life. Any advice or experiences?
