The last time I spoke to him, he told me, "I think I'm depressed", but he didn't say why.

I tried to reach out a couple of times, but he's remained silent. So I have also.

Is it better for me to remain silent or to try to engage conversation again?

Don't push the subject, never want to corner a cap in their emotions. But if you want to help him, just try to brighten up his day somehow. He'll let the weight off his shoulders when he's comfortable.

Try something to get him out of his funk uhhm something he wouldn't normally expect from you..

Is he like a friend or is he more like a partner?

If he's more I would send him something seductive (text/pic) nothing too much but just to get his mind off the depression n back on to you...

If it's a friend I would send a funny pic or something cute that he likes if he's into puppies/cats etc

I tried a joke txt once but that didn't help.. If it's a friend I normally say let's go to dinner or coffee n look at eye candy but that only works with my Aries friend

With my capi - a seductive text usually does the trick or I ask him in a suggestive way but not offer it on a plate...

Give him the space. Once he analyzes his problem, he'll find a mental solution and come out of it. All of us caps fall into a dark hole occasionally. It helps us better appreciate our happy times and what's good in our lives.

Let him know you're there, but don't push it. Text him something cute and funny every now and then to remind him you're still around, but if he doesn't respond don't worry about it or take it personally. It helps, even if they never tell you.

For me, I'm currently in one of these funky states of depression. I'm a typical cap, but at the same time i feel I'm different. I'm an open book, and open with my feelings to people. I wish I had someone to talk to / or ask me what's wrong.

I'm in a current depressive state though, because for years ive had horrible experiences with people, so it's made me distant with people so when I do feel someone to be comfortable with to be an open book with, it always brightens my day up and makes me feel better to get it out.

Ask them what's wrong, but don't annoy them. They may not be the same as me haha. If they act cold, comfort them and tell them it's okay that they can talk to you and that everything is safe with you. If that all fails, just give them space so they can analyze what's wrong and set a goal to figure out how to fix it. We love goals, especially when it's to get out of the funk :p
