I (20f) keep taking things my bf (22m) says/feels personally.

My long distance bf of 6 months is going through a rough patch in life rn. He’s between a bunch of big life/career decisions. He’s been tired and depressed and today we didn’t talk much but he asked not to have our nightly calls bc he’s feeling depressed today and just wants to nap and have time for himself. He apologized and told me he loved me and that we’d call tmr instead.

How the hell do I not think he’s gonna leave me or that I fucked up??

Prior to this he had told me he wasn’t feeling fulfilled in himself and that he’s just rly depressed rn as I told him I was worried he was maybe feeling unfulfilled with the relationship. As on call for the past week he’s been telling me he tired when I ask him what’s wrong .

He told me it has nothing to do with me and that he’s simply just depressed rn and even told me im the best thing that happened to him, than a couple of hrs asked us to call tmr instead bc he’s feeling depressed.

This all seems normal. He’s always been the type to need space when he’s feeling overwhelmed.

So genuinely how do I not have an internal break down over this? How do I not take this personally? How do I not bottle this up as a negative thing but instead be able to see it has a positive thing. I know logically that it’s good he reached out and told me his feelings.

He put his phone on dnd which he never does for me, even when he asks for space and I’m freaking out. Idk if I should ask him or not rn. It’s out of character

But how do I accept that?
My head is just a mess and I’m unsure on how to not take his depression personally.

Idk who to turn too for advice lol. Help a girl out

How do I give my LD bf the space he asks for without going insane

Me and my bf have been long distance and dating for about 6 months. Me and him don’t get into many big fights but we get into small arguments very rarely. When we do he’ll ask for space just until the next morning or the next day. Today he’s asked for space just until the tmr morning and I can’t help but feel extremely anxious and I’m trying my best to not text him. He always asks for his space and doesn’t randomly ghost me. But I rly just can’t help but feel anxious. I know this sounds stupid as hell but I just need some advice so I don’t text him and I honour the space he’s asked for. Idk what to do. I want to be a better gf for him but not ending our day together or not ending our day in a good place has me itching to text him and ask if we’re gonna break up even tho he did say “we’re okay” and that he loves me. But idk what to do I wanna ask him if we’re okay again and ask if he’s gonna break up w me even tho I don’t think he would idk. He said we’d talk tmr morning. Is this situation normal?

I’m being the crazy one? And also how do ppl just not text their partners when they ask for space. It’s so hard not too rn
