He’s struggling with his mental health. How do I ask what his needs and wants are.
dear my soulmate,
I miss the cute reels,the “goodnights”. I miss you wanting to hang out with me (and not caring whose house it is at). I miss seeing your face. I love you so much, and want to help you get better it is just that I do not know how. 2nd floor recommends just talking to you, but it is hard when you have no idea what cause it. And it hurts that do not want to tell me what’s going on. I know I can get too emotional about things, but that’s cause mental health is a new thing. I love you my honey bear, just please let me in, and let me know what I can do to help you.

Hello. Individuals with mental health illness may not know how to describe what they feel, what triggers these thoughts or feelings it, or
what they want. It sounds like your boyfriend may need a little space and patience as he sorts these things out. For now just let him know you are there for him and if he can’t describe what he feels verbally, he may want to try writing you a letter or email. It allows him space and in a controlled environment for himself. Lastly, please take care of yourself. Give yourself time to heal, process your own thoughts and feelings about the situation. It is difficult to help someone else when you are running on empty. Try to distract yourself with things you enjoy doing and seek support from your family and friends.

Life is pretty tough sometimes and knowing people care no matter what can really help. All you can do is be there.
