To make it worst, he has a Pisces moon. He absorbs everyone's emotional energy, is too trusting, is constantly misunderstood, and annoyingly wants to make everyone happy. And so he is being taken advantage of over and over again. He spaced out a lot to overthinks about other people's feelings and at the same time drowning of insecurities because of the lack of deserved appreciation, to the point that he is making himself unnecessarily depressed. And when he's in that state, he can't function well and its ruining his performance at work and became anti-social for days at a time. I'm just a concerned Cap woman of his well-being.
How do I make a Leo man less depress?
*Pisces moon feels*
The only way to make it better is to find the source of the stress and remove him completely from it. That's about it.
For instance, at work, there's a huge manning issue, and I'm always taking on more than I healthily should, and I'm stressed, and so is everyone else, which makes me more stressed, and eventually it gets to the point where I try to He Man it and take on the entire workplace's burdens all by myself, and because I'm a Virgo, I ended up succeeding in those endeavors at a tremendous cost, which makes me even more stressed......... you can see it all piles on quickly and unfairly. The only thing that works is for me to be completely removed from work. Multiple days off in a row. One won't work. I need to rest and recharge and be removed from the environment so I'm not sucking up the bad vibes.
Likewise, at school, sometimes when school work, studies, exams, projects, papers, grades all start to pile on, I'll just get over-stressed and I'll shut down, and I'll not do any of my work, and get all kinds of zeroes because I pulled away from my school work to remove the stress in me.
The key is to find what causes the stress, and remove them physically from that source (in a healthy way). Some ways are better than others such as me pulling away from school vs pulling away from work.
Stress is electricity and a Pisces moon is an electrical plug. You can't just let them sit in the outlet all day and run up the bill when not in use.

I told him to just ignore anyone that sucked up too much of his positive energy, but his Leo sun is stubbornly optimistic and forgiving, and his Pisces moon is channeling empathies.
You sound exactly like him! Because he actually has a lot of Virgo placement in his chart (his rising is Virgo), so this too push him to be helpful no matter what.
I can't remove the source of his stress because as you see, he doesn't let me. He pulls away from work and social life for days at a time, and it kinda ruins his performance but I always gives him space, though I'm still concerned. When he is doing the recharging as you do, is he bottling up all of the negativity or he actually removing it completely?

i have the same problem with absorbing everyones emotional energy. i found this woman to be very helpful lately. she talks a lot about it and gives great tip on what to do about it and still be yourself.

He is who he is. Take him as he is. The Pisces moon makes him feel a lot.
As a Cap, you probably can't really relate to that, but if you really like him then accept him as he is.
