tl;dr: Accidentally wrote three paragraphs in a rant. Basically, I relate to your comment very much.

I've been depressed for years and this guy is pretty much the only reason I have to get out of bed in the morning. I've alienated all of my friends and family because I don't have the motivation to keep up with them and don't have the emotional capacity to invest myself in them. But this guy has made life living for me for the last 3 years. If I'd only met him 4 years before that I might not have fallen into this rut and ruined my life. Who knows.

He didn't know I was depressed until he recently found me browsing this sub and became concerned. Then we had a long conversation about how I hate my life and feel like I'm living an endless repeat of what is essentially the same day, wherein he "tried to help" by telling me things would only get better if I make them get better, which is not helpful as I already knew this. Then we both started repeating ourselves and it eventually boiled down to "I'm just trying to help." "I know you are, I know, and thank you. But I didn't ask for your help and you're not being helpful."

I took this screenshot the next day in Discord. Apparently he thought this would motivate me to seek help, and decided to address the issue remotely over the internet, not understanding that I already want to get help and just don't- for whatever reason; I have no explanation. Anyway I don't hold it against him. He wanted to help because he cares, so he tried. I wish he hadn't, and I know it will probably come up again, but I understand.
