Is it normal for someone who is depressed to not want to talk to people they say they love when they are going thru a bad time? My 16 yr old b/f kinda shuts himself off from me and it's so hard because I just want to help him but he won't really talk to me. Yet, am I expected to just wait around for him to be through it until the next time? If i am gonna be with him then I wanna help otherwise what am I really doing? It doesn't bother me that he has problems but it does bother me when I feel like I am just some pointless useless person in his life when he is down. Please advise me? Thanks!
