You should support him.

You should NOT support him by being "happy". That's a really shitty idea.

If you put on a happy face and pretend, that'll make you feel isolated, lonely and perhaps more suicidal.

You don't want that, and he definitely doesn't want that. You deserve love, you deserve to feel seen and heard. You don't deserve to have to deal with your mental problems yourself.

Don't punish yourself for being open with him, that was super fucking brave of you.

I know that pretending to be happy when i’m not is not the best. I just am worried that if i don’t portray “happy” it might it seem like i’m always a downer and he wouldn’t want to be with me. But i also understand he would just get frustrated later on if he found out that i wasn’t actually happy.

But thank you for your supportive words. I’ll do my best..
