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.
